AAA has a TV taping in, uh, 10 hours. Don’t think they’ll get that lineup in time.
IWRG (SUN) 08/16 Arena Naucalpan [Estrellas del Ring]
1) Blasfemia & Menfis b AE & Exodia

4) Ricky Cruz L Chico Che, Trauma I, Oficial AK47, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Black Terry, Bushi, Fantasma de la Ópera, Jack, Arlequin [hair]
Order of escape was Arlequin, Ricky Cruz, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Jack, Fantasma de la Opera, Bushi, Trauma I, AK47 (who had a bloody war with Trauma I by the looks of it) which left Chico Che and Black Terry. Against all odds, Chico Che flattened Black Terry with a plancha and climbed out for the win.

6) Hator L Diluvio Negro I, Konnan Big, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo [hair, mask]

CMLL (SUN) 08/16 Arena Mexico
1) Puma King & Tiger Kid b As Jr. & Molotov
2) Dr. X, Durango Kid, Pólvora b Leono, Metálico, Tigre Blanco

5) Valiente b Sangre Azteca [MEX WELTER]
6) La Sombra, Shocker, Volador Jr. DQ Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Ovaciones writes about this show, skips mentioning the women’s match. Oh well. They say Valiente is champion #70, which would mean we’re missing 2 of those. CMLL.com says Sangre successfully defended the title 18 times, so we’re only missing 6 of those.
CMLL (SUN) 08/16 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring, MT]
1) Cometa b Tragedia
2) Angelo & Saturno b Ebola & Expreso
3) Metal Blanco & Neutrón b Angel del Mal & Rafaga
4) Hierro & Milenio b Acertijo & Novato
5) Ephesto, Máscara Mágica, Skandalo b Mictlán, Rouge, Sagrado
6) Blue Panther, Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara b Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr.
Blue Panther got Averno for the clean win. Mascara Magica replaced Heavy Metal in the semimain, and Mictlan hurt a forearm in a match. Teams in the fourth match fought after the match – they’ll all meet in a mask match next week.
Toryumon Mexico (SAT) 08/22 Arena Mexico [SuperLuchas]
1) Mascarita Dorada vs Pequeno Boricua, Pequeno Dragon
2) Brazo de Oro vs Brazo de Plata, Skandalo, Azteca, Durango Kid, Shigeo Okumura, Trueno
3) Ayumi Kurihara vs Mima Shimoda, Hiroka, Marcela
4) Negro Navarro vs Solar I
5) Místico, Shocker, Tiger Mask IV vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
6) Último Dragón vs Ohara [mask, hair]
Tiger Mask IV coming in so soon after Mistico winning his match means probably a round of teasing that rematch in Mexico. Far more interesting to me is the surprise return of Rey Bucanero; he wasn’t supposed to be back until December, and it sure doesn’t feel December right now. I hope this is a good thing and he’s not rushing back.
Dragon took Hajime’s mask (as Dark Dragon) last year on a NWE tour and this is the latest match in their never ending feud.
Box Y Lucha 2935 has Verano de Escandalo’s main event on the cover.
