CMLL FSE GDR #47

thecubsfan

taped 06/24/07, aired in the US on 07/22/07

Corelone’s sure got a formula down. I think, with some good video editing software, he can actually stop wrestling at this point and they can edit in his opponents for this week. No one will know the difference! This is a larger diatribe for another time, but if the Arena Mexico fans are going to be booing Mistico for doing the same thing in every match, their throats really ought to be getting sore from booing most of the guys on the roster (and especially Wagner.)

Hope for Dos Caras Jr. fading….fading….. They do a disservice by making Dos wrestle like Tall Agile Guy instead of Tall Power Guy or Tall MMA Guy.

I would liked to been at the conversation where they told Goto and Ohara to act more Japanese. Or perhaps drinking was involved in that match, I dunno. I’ve liked Ohara better of late, but sometimes I wonder how this stuff exactly prepare him (or Goto) for being a big star in Japan someday.

Mesias talks about TNA

thecubsfan

Over on the Noti AAA Blog, there’s an interview with Mesias, who explains both AAA and TNA are okay with him working for both promotions and they’re working on his dates so there’s no conflict, despite the Konnan/Killings stuff.

Mesias says he’ll start on the next PPV, running in on Abyss’ match, and then they’ll tape a skit for TV where he tortures Abyss. Explaining the angles you’re going to do ahead of time is probably not the way to go (least of all because they’ll probably change their minds five more times.)

They also plugs Juvi’s website, http://www.juventudgx.com/ – much like Crazy Boy’s site, it’s starting out as a single page picture plugging a contest.

(full chart here)

The Tony and Virus stuff has been airing on Fox Sports in Mexico, so obviously their semimain trios from Sunday will be on this week. The preview for the show lists Atlantis vs Corelone, so FSE-Mexico ends up with two top matches from Coliseo.

None of this airs in the US for a few weeks due to delay, but it’s relevant to this week’s shows. The main show seems back to airing Coliseo segundas and no one airs openers, so the only match left for CAN52 is the women’s trios match. I think that means their feud is being shuttled off the main show, and it’s kinda weird it was on their to begin with.

CAN52: So, the women’s trios, and a Mexico segunda featuring guys with differing levels of support around here.

FSE: Dos attempts to kill himself to win the Heavyweight title! He’s partly successful.

The replays previously scheduled for late Saturday night have been pushed back a few hours. Don’t stay up for them.

Another Lucha Libre documentary airs on Monday.

AAAUS: The Puebla sandwich taping before TripleMania. Mesias and Cibernetico in a (bull terrier) match, how innovative. This is the surprise Sabu run in show.

AAAMEX: Should be the post TripleMania Leon taping.

CMLLMEX: Heck if I know what they’ll do with 3:15

Konnan back in the hospital

Everything to this point has been going as expected – Konnan’s donor matched up, the operation went normal, it sounded like he was recovering..

Konnan was hospitalized yesterday in Tijuana with problems stemming from the aftermath of his kidney replacement surgery due to issues with his body rejecting the donor kidney. He will be kept for observation until tomorrow at the earliest, but it could be significantly longer if he doesn’t respond well to anti-rejection drugs. There is no way he’ll be making the AAA TV tapings this week that he had actually planned on coming back on.

– Dave @ WO.com

According to wikipedia, 10 – 25% of kidney transplant patients experience “acute rejection”. Konnan’s system could still accept the organ, but obviously it’s a more complicated situation at this point. Good luck to him.

07/27 Wagner vs Mistico

I posted these videos on DVDMB on Saturday and I’ve noticed they’ve been reposted a lot on the lucha boards, but I never actually posted a link here, so there you go. I’ve added a Daily Motion RSS feed to the side bar for these type of things in the future.

I have these ideas that I could post a match from one of the shows each weekend and get all the Alfa skits up there (a benefit of being so behind on AAA – I totally emphasize with Victor on 3 hour TV), but let’s wait for it to actually happen.

What’ll be happening for sure, in a few hours, is the lucha times update. (I was otherwise occupied yesterday) At least one of the CMLL Satellite shows, and hopefully all three I’m lacking, will also be up in the next 24 hours or so.
