Talked about the Universal tournament in the last post down. I wonder if they’ll break it up around the other matches: do the first round matches before the Mr. Niebla trios, semifinals after, and maybe finals as the actual main event (especially if Dos is supposed to go over.)
Minis opener should be good. CMLL still lists the main event without any stipulation, though it might still end up being super libre. With UG and Shocker feuding on Tuesday, the long term plan here might be for the heavyweight title to go UG -> Shocker -> Dos. Even it’s not, the feud’s clearly not going to end tonight.
This is not that exciting of a lineup, but because of the ticket prices (some news stories say kids are getting free, but CMLL still has it as 1 peso tickets), it ought to be a sell out. Maybe they’ll make some of the money back on concessions with people coming in early for the movie, and maybe they’ll wear people out before TripleMania.
Fantasma and Juvi chimed in on Konnan being free to appear at TripleMania. Fantasma comes off as backtracking, saying he never had a problem with Konnan & Jack, and were just following what authorities were telling them to do (which ones?) Fantasma says Silver King is still banned from wearing his mask. We’ll see. (The Gladiatores has a seemingly unrelated podcast with Fantasma about his career.)
Juvi still says he’s going to sue and try to get Konnan deported, and that’s probably the last we’ll hear about that. Meanwhile, Juvi is talking about restarting his promotion again.
Basler Zeitung writes about Stuka, Fantasma, Dragon and Sangre at the Hot Air Festival, complete with video. I like how they mention the match started with “an apparently typical Mexican half hour delay.” They’ve gone to indy shows, I see.
Hablando de Catch talks to Damian 666, Halloween, and Mr. Aguila about AAA’s Chihuahueños del Mal. More interesting to me is Halloween saying he and Damian did not speak for a year and a half after he left CMLL.
AAA looks back at Cibernetico losing his mask, Kenzo losing his hair, a Pentagon losing his mask, Tirantes losing his hair and Electro & Lady Apache losing their hair at past TripleManias. No one’s losing their hair or mask this year (except for Silver King, I guess.) In advance of the big AAA video game reveal, there’s information some bits of info in an article, though not much new since the Dos de Tres article. Designed on Unreal Engine 3, 360/PS3 versions this year, Wii/DS/PSP next, focused on AAA style. I’m going to have to buy this just because I will not believe it exists unless I have it my hand.
AAA will be doing live updates of TripleMania on their website starting at 8:30 on Saturday.
LuchandoLibre has the opener and the Fabi/Billy segunda.
Cesar wonders if Mistico vs Felino will still main event an anniversary show, but perhaps Mexico City’s instead of GDL.
WagnerMania has a bio of Rolando Vera.
Segunda Caida checks out IWRG on 05/28/09.
LuchaWorld has Robert on CMLL C3 03/01/08 and CMLL TV 03/22/08, as well as KrisZ’s news update.
I must admit that I am much more interested in this years Triplemania than I was the day before this past Wrestlemania. If it was on PPV where I could purchase it I know that I would.
Yup. This year’s show seems better, and we haven’t really seen the build up episodes in the US.
I’d buy it.
I’m really angry, c’mon this guy Lover’s Ice is stealing my vids you can check:
His vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6yoHCoo3OE
The mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjkPck8SrPU
Both starts with the same scene, and this is in ALL his vids from AAA @ June 7th, he only is downloading my vids and resize it and uploading.
If u can check I uploaded the vids @ sunday 7th and he uploaded it today………….
Other detail: check his description: Billy Boy, Sexy Star, Polvo de Estrellas, Mini Histeria VS Mascarita Sagrada, Faby Apache, Gato Eveready, Pimpinela Escarlata
C’MON the same syntax that me, I ever put the vs. en caps: VS, he did only copy paste……..
pffff this guy doesn´t have ethic.
LoverIce has turned into quite the dirt bag. The guy banned me from his youtube account, I wouldn’t be surprised if he helped get your original account shut down. Just keep uploading all those fine shows and I’ll never have see his vids.
Guess Lover_Ice is getting lazy. Him uploading others stuff is not a new thing though, there’s vids on his account from others on BoxYLucha, DVDVR, Torrents, etc.
There’s no ethic on the internet and it will never be. You just have to turn a blind eye to it and keep doing you.
@r0b3rt0×3L14S: It sucks, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
I appreciate ANYONE who uploads stuff so I can view it….
But isn’t that kinda the pot calling the kettle black? That reminds me of when RF Video would complain about people bootlegging their shoot interviews…
@Jake: I agree Jake, this years Triplemania looks like it will be off the hook, I want to see not only the main event but how the big 12 man (10 man?) tag plays out.
And not to bring the board down or anything, but I just wanted to pass along that Japanese legend and former Triple Crown and NOAH GHC heavyweight Champion Mitsuharu Misawa passed away today due to heart failure after a tag match in NOAH. Misawa was 46.
RIP Misawa-San.
Yes, the uploading guys can get a bit creepy at times. I had one guy uploading me the shows in full dvd, and even gave him some of my accounts (elmartinete as closed for new members) to post them and he said he got flamed in some Spaniard boards or something like that and thought that it was not worth the trouble, he was pissed at people uploading his stuff because he wanted to rack up points for his premium accounts… dunno what advantages it would have in youtube, though.
