07/17-18 Lucha Times

Chart.

AAA-MEX: The Sunday re-run is back, just in time for the Mesias/Wagner rematch, and the Teddy/Jack match. See Billy go bye, at least for a couple weeks.

52MX: Angels vs Tuareg, Garza/Shocker/Toscano vs Niebla/Negro/UG.

LATV: I just spent an hour putting together the LATV episodes from the last four weeks, just in case there was a secret pattern to the reruns. Nope.

CMLL: Top 3, of course. We should know who’s in the cage by this point, and six unmasked guys in the tercera seem to be a pretty flashing beacon.

AAA-MEX: Wagner vs Parka/Mesias, Sugi’s debut, Charly/Jack vs Chessman/Teddy

FOX: Mascara/Sombra/Valiente vs Warrior/Metal/Okumura, plus Flash/Metro/Stuka vs Euforia/Nosferatu/Vangelis

C3: CMLL Trios, and Mini Nitro’s debut.

Puebla: Mephisto vs Mistico. Definitely airing the semimain, since they’re apparently doing a UG/Garza title match. I’m guessing no Fabian/Metro tag team.

ACM: one last week without AAA.

  1. “I’m guessing no Fabian/Metro tag team.”

    And the third is MICTLAN! Is that quite possibly the worst trio CMLL can put together using their current roster?

  2. @Alan: No no no, you’re right. I had forgotten about Leono. It’s no-contest with that trio of names.

    How about on the rudo side? (NOBODY MENTION VANGELLYS!)

    I’m thinking Lizmark Jr., Heavy Metal and … Ray Mendoza Jr.?

    (Cubs would probably pick Bronco but I’m not too down on Bronco…)

  3. @Rob: I was actually trying to think of the rudo trio to go against them in the worst trios match. Metal seems like a lock for the number one draft pick on the team. Lizmark is also solid. I don’t like to consider Mendoza part of the roster, but if we eliminate him, I don’t know who would be the third. Maybe Polvora?

  4. I like Polvora.:( Not in a “he’s my favorite rudo” type way but I’m not offended when I see him in the ring like Metal or Lizmark’s embarassing child.

    You know there are actually certain folk who would probably be in shock to hear people agreeing on Heavy Metal being the worst rudo in CMLL as they consider him the BEST. Those people still watch wrestling with their 1989 glasses though.:)

    Apocalipsis doesn’t make TV enough but from what I’ve seen he’d be a good candidate for the worst rudo team and even he isn’t totally offensive.

    Dr. X doesn’t do much for me but I wouldn’t put him on the team.

    Nosferatu should be on the team if you just consider who is under the mask but he manages to defy all logic by being good ever since he took on the gimmick.

    So I guess we’re stuck at Lizmark Jr., Heavy Metal and… maybe we should just wait till CMLL brings back Mascara Ano 2000.

  5. @Rob: I’m not actually hugely against Polvora, but was struggling to come up with a third. I’ve been enjoying Inquisidor more recently and refuse to put anyone with that mask on this team. Apocalipsis and Bronco I just haven’t seen enough of to think they are bad enough to be here. Dr. X can’t be considered since he is a Tuareg. Since you eliminated Vangelis from consideration, I guess we’ll have to go with Mendoza for the time being even if I live in hope that he won’t keep showing up on cards.

  6. Just so we’re keeping track here…

    TheCatchChannel shows that the tercera and semi-main from last Sunday’s Arena Mex show aired on 52MX.

    If we combine that with Alan’s news about FSE it would seem like the 7/10 Friday Arena Mexico tercera w/ Dorada & Valiente will be the first match to air on the 8/1 TV show that won’t be showing Infierno En El Ring.
