06/24: notes

We’ll go over things in full tomorrow, but a few quick bits

Mistico retained the NWA Middleweight Title over Averno in Merida
– Lita was announced as working TripleMania on this week’s AAA TV in Mexico
– Box Y Lucha’s cover story is “Is Black Warrior leaving CMLL?” and one of the inset stories is “is Intocable is leaving AAA?” Anyone get a copy? Might be worth reading.

Accion

CMLL: Main event trios from Arena Mexico, including Corleone hitting his dive, and Monito knocking down Garza with a dive. Dives from Panther, Shocker, and Corelone (looking stiff on a off the ramp clotheslines.) Babe Richard was outside with Garza when Lizmark pulled Panther’s mask, and the other ref was looking at the floor for whatever reason.

AAA: La Parka Jr., Cibernetico, Chessman vs Mesias, Kenzo, Ozz from Merida. The clip starts with a Zorro run in, so at least they’re not wasting time. Chessman gets in spears on Mesias and Kenzo, Zorro gets in a thrust kick on Mesias, but Konnan knocks Chessman off the top rope, and some how that’s good enough for the pin. The rest of the Sect hits the ring and beats everyone down. Didn’t see Parka at all here – I don’t know if he’s meant to be outside the ring or what.

Air Date
Mex: 07/15 – so this takes them to TripleMania
US: 08/04

One would think they would make the TripleMania challenges here…but 9 days before the show, we’ll surely know the lineup before this taping takes place.

Still no Abismo. Maybe I’m assuming too much, but Head Hunter I seems like a replacment in that spot.

Kinda seems like there ought to be a Atomicos rematch at TripleMania, though I have no particular interest in it.

Who’s Yuriko? The magazine lists his team as Exoticos, which applies to the captian, but Nygma’s the Riddler and Jessy is one of the remaining Kumbia Kids.

In the interest of openness, Super Luchas just lists “Chiva”, so it could be Chiva II. I’m just making a gigantic leap of faith.

Air Date
Mex: 06/17
US: 07/07

For those who haven’t been following along, this is the taping from two weeks ago which actually has aired in Mexico (and highlights on Accion), but I didn’t have the results and it was slowly killing me. Killing me at a mild trot, I’d say.

The big angle is the Hell Brothers and tecnicos working together, which they’ve now done ever since. Didn’t do them much good here. Cuervo replaced Abismo on this one.

Extreme Tiger, originally listed on the rudos side, moved to the Mexican Powers to replace Juvi (selling an injury) and Psicosis took the spot on the other side. Between the lineup shuffles and people using old gear in their new roles, there’s reason to believe the Psicosis II turn was a last minute decision. Or they could’ve just been totally unprepared. Both are equally possible.

Canadian Angel is recently ex-WWE developmental wrestler Angel Williams. (And she’s really from Canada.)
