2) Starman, Tony Rivera, Trueno b Inquisidor, Méssala, Pólvora
3) Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Tigre Blanco b Bronco III, Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis

5) Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Último Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corleone, Místico

Just like last week, UG stole Dos’ mask and pinned him for the win. That sets up the singles match next week, with the idea that Dos gets a shot at the title only if he beats UG in a non-title match first.

Worth noting Tigre Blanco isn’t in the tercera next week, so that was a false alarm. Also, Poder Mexica is unbeaten in Arena Mexico and very beatable everywhere else. Tecnicos suggested challenging for the titles after their win, which annoyed Sangre.

(Via Box Y Lucha’s forum) There’s a bit more about the AAA-US shows on MexicanWresting.org. The site’s been updated with what looks like a partial talent roster for the show, but it doesn’t explicitly say that so who knows. Amusing to see Cibernetico listed – he may be back by then, or work that tour even before coming back.

El Sol (not available online but mentioned over on RFC’s board) has interview with Cafian 69, who says he’s retiring after next weekend’s matches. If you recall, Caifan was in CMLL last year, getting a debut match in Coliseo that aired on FSE with the idea of regimmicking him and debuting him in the Gran Alternativa, but he suffered a bad knee injury and wasn’t used again after. Not sure why he’s retiring, but wrestling in Monterrey forever probably gets old, not to mention the injuries.

Mr. Reyes posted photos of a CMLL show in Iztapalapa.

Box Y Lucha 2909 has Villanos vs UG/Panther on the cover. Interesting teasers inside include Mr. Condor leaving AAA and “Super Triple A no longer exists!”; surely this shifts the balance! Rey Bucanero is also criticizing AAA of copying him. In my dreams, that’s a parody article, with Rey ironically complaining about the existence of more pirates. Probably not as fun in print.

LuchaWorld has Robert on 08/03/07 AAA and CMLL 08/25/07 (the rise of Mr. Aguila.)

  1. It seems Caifan is retiring because he’s actually doing pretty good in his regular job. So… good for him, I guess.
