03/14 – 16 Lucha Times

box. Didn’t bother with the IWRG this week. Why predict what airs when no one can see it?

AAA US: Rey de Reyes qualifying starts with a cage match, and Abismo vs Mr. Niebla comes to an end (for now.)

CAN52: Call me crazy, but I think the minis match from Sunday will end up airing, with all the Arena Mexico matches saved for Televisa. If the minis doesn’t air, expect repeats between the main show an the MVS shows sometime in the next couple weeks.

FSE: women’s feud continues, but the news here is Grey Shadow’s debut on US TV. Repeats on Friday, and next Sunday’s episode looks to be in the afternoon.

———–

CMLL MEX: to follow that theory, they’ve got to leave something for next week’s main event, so I’m guessing the semimain get skipped here.

AAA MEX: listed a 3 hours this week. Lights out match for Rey de Reyes spots and another triangle tag match in the main event.

FSE MEX: Women’s title match and Perros vs tecnicos

CadenaTres: Perros vs tecncios and minis in the opener.

03/12: Mexico, Lucha Libre Expo, Monterrey, Acapulco

CMLL (TUE) 03/11 Arena Mexico [cmll]
1) Sensei & Trueno b Carrona & Cholo
2) Celestial, Electrico, Shockercito b Fire, Mr. Aguilita, Pequeño Damian 666
3) Fabián el Gitano, Felino, Máximo b Dr. X, Mentallo, Shigeo Okumura
4) Alex Koslov, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Ephesto, Misterioso II, Virus
5) Héctor Garza, La Sombra, Marco Corelone DQ Damián 666, Terrible, Texano Jr.

In the end, Hector and Sombra synchronized their dives on Damian and Texano, and Terrible fouled Marco to avoid the direct loss. This seems to happen more than most to Corelone.

Everyone covered a press conference for the 2nd Annual Lucha Libre Expo yesterday. It’s taking place in the same building as last year, from May 2nd to the 4th. CMLL, IWRG, AULL and others will be participating, though no AAA again this year. They’re hoping to draw between 25,000 and 30,000 people. A wire story, talking about the history and ‘growing popularity’ of lucha libre (though even they note no actual stats were given) lists Super Muneco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde, Septiembre Negro, Mascara Ano 2000, Marco Corelone, Volador Jr., Atlantis and Ultimo Guerrero among those tentatively scheduled to appear. They’re also debuting an official wrestler of the show named “Expo”. Crazy Boy, who’s DTU will be participating, talked about the chance to show his group as more than people who just break chairs and light bulbs over each other. Tickets are 150 pesos/$14 for a day, 300 pesos/US$28 for all three.

(El Siglo de Torreon) Wagner promotions and referee Chabelo will meet the local box y lucha commission Thursday to discuss possible fines and suspensions. The article suggests it could be as serious as Wagner losing the rights to run shows in some buildings and Chabelo losing his referee license.
