I am baffled. Cadena3, CAN52, Galavision in the US will all be pre-empting their regular programming on Saturday (and Friday) to take part in the annual Teleton for developmentally disadvantaged children. Televisa is actually the company running the Teleton. Yet, Televisa Canal 9 (and 5) are listed with normal programming.
This presents a problem for both promotions:
AAA-MEX: no new footage available (next taping won’t be until later Sunday)
CMLL-MEX: new footage available, but they don’t want to show it (all big match shows have been held off air this year)
It sure seems like both promotions were expecting not to have to deal with putting on a television show this week, and I’d presume they were right if Televisa’s own listings weren’t disagreeing. If they do air, they’re going to air reruns of previous weeks most likely.
(Pause to note this is a really pointless weekend to start getting the extended latino channels.)
As for everything else
AAA-US: as mentioned, no show on Saturday afternoon, though the Sunday overnight and Sunday afternoon shows are scheduled. The standard in these situations has to air a rerun if they can’t air in the new spots, so expect to get last week’s episode again. Maybe someone can explain figure out why they showed Ultimo Gladiador working spots with his mask off this time?
CAN52: Not on Saturday, but will air as normal on Sunday. Blanco/Leono/Rivera vs Tiger/Puma/Inquisidor, plus Yellow Wave vs the yellow-ish trio of Dorada, Metro, Toscano.

CMLL-FOX: Cancerbros vs Oro/Fabian/Rouge, plus Panther/Mistico/Volador vs the Triad
AAA-LLP: first show from the last taping; guessing the near relevos AAA and the Wagner/Mesias match. Gotta split up the Wagner appearances.
CadenasTres: moved to noon on Sunday this week. It’s called Especial Lucha Libre CMLL, which could mean it’s not the usual Tuesday show.
Puebla: moved to 4pm this week. Looks to be a tough week to finish all four.
ACM: The mask matches, for sure. Wonder what they’ll do next week, when they have no Sunday taping to work off. Maybe it’ll just be all Tuesday.
Teleformula: STILL can not find a programming guide for this channel (this is the closest, not sure how accurate), so I have no idea if it’s being pre-empted as well. If not, this should be the Jack & Oficial 911 vs Freelance & Offical Fierro relevos suicidas show.
AYM Sports: says it’s airing something at 12:00 AM Friday/Saturday morning. Who knows.
Can you imagine if Cadena Tres airs the Friday show?
Hey Cubs, play around with your VOD options too. I could swear 52mx cut a VOD deal with Comcast.
@LLL: They might. They aired the last big show w/ Warrior vs Yujiro even if it was a month late.
FYI, Canal 9 seems to be showing normal programming right now. Lucha is still listed on my guide for this afternoon, so I’m not sure anything is being preempted.
