We’ve actually had this lineup since the first of this month. It’s only been confirmed as a TV taping – but then they said last year’s show here was a TV taping and it never turned up (at least on the usual broadcast), so I had my doubts until I read the article linked a couple paragraphs below.
Doesn’t really matter. The Expo is expected to either be announced as postponed or canceled sometime today. This taping won’t be happening, at least not on this date. Which is too bad, because Konnan (and Jack) wrestling in a high profile DF show would’ve pushed some issues to resolution.
In Record, Joaquin Roldan hypes up a AAA vs Legion cage match for TripleMania. That match hasn’t been announced yet on TV, so it’s amusing they’d be giving interviews about it, but that’s normal here. Roldan also mentions all the TV tapings leading up to TripleMania:
– Aguacalientes (04/30)
– Centro Banamex (05/02)
– Leon
– Tlaxcala
– Guerrero
– Hidalgo
Working thru the weeks, that means TripleMania is (or was) scheduled to start airing on 06/28 in Mexico, and 07/18 in the US, 2 and 5 weeks after it’s taped. That may be changed with this taping being removed. They could do this week as a filler one, they could still air this if the Expo is just pushed back a week, or they could just move on to the Leon taping if it’s on May 4th or May 11th (assuming the usual Monday show there.)
The best part about that Roldan interview is the 3 names he mentioned as Team AAA to fight La Legion
Marco Corleone
Alex Koslov
Rocky Romero
What a rich history they have with the promotion.
@KrisZ: To be fair, if the AAA guys did a better job the first time, he wouldn’t have this problem. It’s all Super Fly’s fault.
I know that Mesias & Parka are going to be in high profile matches but there are other guys there that could get the rub that are actually AAA homegrowns. What’s funny about the match is I can see the Legion team being Chessman/Konnan/Zorro against the AAA team that’s all former EMLL foreigners.
I think it’s going to be a doom cage????? I can’t picture Konnan inside a doom cage match. The faces usually wins at Triplemania so I expect Zorro to turn or nothing excited will happen.
I also expect Dr.Wagner vs. Mesias
Silver King vs. La Parka
Oh shit, I just seen two good Blue Demon Jr matches. The last two episodes of NWA Showcase had Demon vs. Joey Ryan for the World title in a really good match and Demon vs. Scott Lost in another good match follow by a good promo segment. I don’t know if it’s the booking but Blue Demon look wayyyyyy better here than I’ve seen him in Mexico.

Doom cage? Ron Simmons and Butch Reed are going to be enforcers inside the cage?
Team AAA should win the match and end this Foreign Legion concept once and for all but you gotta figure Konnan is putting himself over since he didn’t win at last year’s Triplemania and if the top two matches are going to be what they are – he’ll justify it by saying the rudos needs to win here.
Romero in a main event… *LMAO* Pena is rolling in his grave.
“USAUSA1:
Massive Flu outbreak is not a good reason to cancel events. Come on Mexico,get with the times.”
I wonder if they are bringing back the concept that took 1988 by storm in the Triple Tower of Doom steel cage.
