Projected air date (#833)

Edit 03/28: added Charly/Chessman vs Jack/Teddy. That could be some fun.

Original: This is hyped as La Parka Jr.’s (latest) return match. That’s going to be a tough main event.

Abismo teaming with Intocable and Porky might be very rough on him. That ? spot should be Histeria and I’m not too sure what’s going on there. Maybe Antifaz still exists?

This will be Crazy’s in-ring debut, and the feud with Tijuana goes on. They’re probably going to end up doing the title change at some point to make this go on even longer.

Like the previous taping, this feels a match short. Maybe two – that opener (with everyone’s favorite videographer) can not possibly be a TV match, but it would seem to be given how few other matches are here.

I can’t believe they’re bringing in Evans and Hart and can’t keep them five days to work an extra taping. This show feels like it’s a match short – we’re missing mins, women, or an Apache family drama.

If Zorro’s getting subbed out of the main event in Torreon, he’s working a lot after it. He’s booked for the next taping as well.

Abismo starts on the tecnico side. It’s not just teaming with the Hell Brothers…

Figure on Crazy Boy making his return in that tag match. Pasion Cristal is a random exotico. I think I should know who Operativo is but I don’t.

either Alfonso Lizarraga
or Jose Lazaro Rodriguez
for The Gladiatores

AAA (FRI) 03/21 Arena Azteca Budokan [the gladiatores]
1) Kagura, Rey Dragon, Sobredosis b Clinico, Galactico, Rey Neza
2) Caballero Nocturno, Sexy Amazonas, Skullman b Andromeda, Piloto Fantasma, Ricky Gonzalez
3) Fabi Apache, Gran Apache, Mari Apache b Estrellita, Oriental, Rossy Moreno
4) Mini Charly Manson & Mini Cibernetico b Mr. Takote, Octagoncito
5) La Parka Jr., Charly Manson, Chessman b Alan Stone, Chris Stone, Super Calo

The show stealer is that photo. Rossy just beat Estrellita with a chair and her fist until she bled. And she sure did bleed. They’re doing a hair match in April. In the main event, Parka started out in the match but the Stones attcked his hurt arm in the first fall, and was taken to the match. Angel replaced him, and the tecnicos rallied to win the second, then won the third when Parka came back out to help.

Also important: Super Calo’s Fu Man Chu mustache. A fine idea.

CMLL (THU) 03/20 Arena Neza [thegladiatores]
1) Dare Devil & Freesbe b Black Lancer & Puma King
2) Molotov & Trueno b Calígula & Méssala
3) Mr. Aguilita, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween b Bam Bam, Pequeño Olímpico, Último Dragoncito
4) Felino, La Sombra, Leono b Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. X, Nitro
5) Místico, Negro Casas, Stuka b Averno, Damián 666, Mephisto

Stuka replaced Alex.

AAA (MON) 03/24 Arena Cuatro Caminos de Nuevo Laredo [RFC]
3) Decnnis, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido b Hombre Sin Miedo, Laredo Kid, Sangre Chicana
4) Charly Manson, Gronda II, La Parka Jr. b Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz

On Box y Lucha, writer Javier Munoz shares his memories of traveling with Bestia Salvaje. Another columnist, Fernando Alvarez, says Mistico is booed because he’s not humble enough and oversensitive to the booing.

Rey_Fuego @ Satanico’s Mansion reposted Record’s list of The Top 75 Luchadors (in Mexico) Over The Last 75 Years. I’m going to put in after the jump because it’s a long list, but it’s pretty interesting to see who doesn’t quite make the list.
