Matches were added exactly as earlier noted, with some other lineup shuffling. I imagine there’s one person who sketches out the Coliseo stuff, puts together a tentative list, and then has to reconfigure everything when the person in charge of loaning people out for spot shows tells him which undercarders have conflicting (and higher revenue) gigs that weekend.
CMLL (SUN) 08/05 Arena Coliseo
1) Angel Azteca Jr. & Molotov vs Vaquero & Zayco
2) Neutron, Super Nova, Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Skandalo
3) Marcela vs Amapola [MEX WOMEN]
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Maximo vs Eclipse, Emilio Charles Jr., Satanico
5) Tony Rivera vs Virus [hair]
6) Dos Caras Jr., Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Toscano
It looks like the build to title match will air on the main show, and the title match itself will air on a satellite show? That makes no sense – while I’d hope it’d show up on my TV because it’s The Best Women’s Match Possible, I figure it’ll end up on the main show. Since rudas never win (Diana’s loss excepted), I’m leaning towards Marcela keeping the belt here, though I’m rooting the other way.
I think Virus actually has a chance of keeping his hair, which would’ve been pretty inconceivable a few years ago. I don’t actually see the point of having Tony Rivera get yet another hair win when it’s been years since they’ve done anything while Virus actually has a recent turn and a slight push, but Virus did win the last match.
Teasing me with a trio of Averno, Mephisto and Sangre and pulling it is not very nice.
TVC is now launching a second cable station called “TVC Deportes”, so they’ll have lots of hours to fill. Should be interesting to see if more Lucha is added to the TVC schedule.
They talked about 4 hours of lucha, which is not that much considering it is only twice what they air normaly, and with VIP shows, pretty much the 4 hours. Like ESPN and FSE, I bet most of their programming will be repeats.
I’m 99.9999999999999% certain Virus is winning this. He’s on the Novela for crying out loud!! No matter if it is a bomb, it has 20 times more exposure than FSE. Only thing that could explaing Virus losing would be that in the Novela he loses his hair to Mistico but CMLL doesn’t want to host the match themselves. Well, maybe I’m giving that crap too much credit, would need to see how the feud has been developing…
Match #4 makes me suicidal. I pray that gets skipped in favor of airing match #2.
Is match #4 the worst match you can possibly book with the current roster?
2) Neutron, Super Nova, Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Skandalo
——————
Aw man, that better air! In the past year you could probably count on one hand the amount of Sunday Coliseo Segundas that never made TV – and trust it to be the one rare week when my man Neutron’s involved for it to be doubtful :(
CMLL’s scheduled for 3:15hrs this week btw. Would be awesome if this became permanent!
Match 4 could only be worse if Lizmark was a part of the match in some form.
I had not seen him wrestle since his stint in WCW until last night when I saw his match with Blue Panther from Arena Mexico a month ago. What’s up with all the tats and the overall atrociousness he brings to the ring?
Anyway, there does not seem to be a Mistico/Virus feud in CMLL at the moment given the Wagner/UG/Mistico interaction that is taking place. But CMLL has been trying to cater too much to other television shows, most notably Perrito’s reality show apperance and Mistico’s “Muchachitas” appearances. Any chance we in the US will be stuck with that atrocity on Univision within the next year?
how about if you added Universo to match #4?
Virus is on a novela? Hell who isn’t on a Novela?
I wouldn’t hold my breath on that 3:15 time slot. Would be interesting but it’s highly unlikely. It’ll probably go down to 2:00 after the futbol gets shuffled around.
