box. So this is easy. Or pointless. Both.
AAA-US: Ah, the delay actually helps out (for a month). There’s weeks of TV left here, including a Silver King/La Parka Jr. match and two matches in the Cruiserweight Tournament, plus a main event of Chessman/Scoria/Zorro vs Charly/Mesias/Vamp. This is the Monterrey taping, where AAA management found out sometime during the day (during the show?) that Abismo Negro passed away, but did not tell the talent until the conclusion of the show.
FOX – and for that matter, 52MX, CMLL-MEX, C3 and probably even Ras de Lona: all the shows appear to still be on the schedule, none of the tapings for the CMLL shows happened, so what they show is a mystery. Easiest thing to do is to pick a random rerun, so that’s the bet here. FOX/LATV, 52MX and C3 will not have new footage next week for sure, though the main show will be back on if shows resume next Friday.

AAA-MEX: One taping left in the can here, with the four way for the title shot at TripleMania. Also, Jack vs Tiger, Clowns back on TV, Metrosexuals and Aregnis and minis on TV.
What I need to know: how many people more people need to go before Jesse or the remaining Consgrados get back on TV?
Poor Jessy. Now there’s a talented youngster Pena would have regimmicked and had as a mid-card valuable member of the roster. Imagine that… taking youngsters and turning them into draws.
Based on how much work is put into each show you can pretty much assume the shows will end up like this:
Gala – Two more Dos Leyendas matches (minis + UG vs V-V?) or a pre-emption.
C3 – Best of show featuring title matches? Maybe Dragon Rojo vs Sangre Azteca, tag titles from two weeks ago and a Mistico main?
FSE/LATV + GdR in Mexico only – Repeat episodes. Probably just repeats of the last show they each aired.
So, WON did cover the flu situation in lead story format.
I found the Buddy Rose stuff interesting. Portland always did those hair stipulation matches. I wonder if Lucha had an influence on Portland somehow?
I am so sad to hear about Avismo Negro passing, i ready some of the spanish articles and they mentioned it was some type of drowning near a bridge. I followed his career for a while right before he started to appear in those day time t.v shows and less wrestling. I tried looking for some of his ealry looking masks, tried elucha.com. with no luck can anyone help.

@WrestlingTom: I don’t if you’ll actually see this, because you picked a strange post to reply to, but trying to email you didn’t work.
I’ve usually had little trouble finding Abismo Negro masks, but they seem rarer online at the moment. Ones I was able to find:
– http://www.corazonfairtrade.com/maskluchalibre1.html – though only the one style
http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/jelp76_W0QQQ5ftrkparmsZ72Q253A1205Q257C66Q253A2Q257C65Q253A12Q257C39Q253A1QQ_ipgZ200QQ_trksidZp3911Q2ec0Q2em14 – an eBay seller, but they have three different versions at reasonable prices.
Hope that helps.
