box. Galavision (US)’s Saturday evening is bumped off the lineup, but the new show should air on the overnight.

CMLL Fox Deportes in the US seems to be dead already. The two scheduled airings this past weekend were not aired, and it’s not on the schedule again until mid-April (and they have may have just not updated that.)

== AAA ==

AAA-Televisa: Demon vs Texano and Rey de Reyes final. The UTDN Thursday airing isn’t currently listed on the schedule, but that has corrected itself in the past. The Saturday show is still on.

AAA-Fusion: Maybe the Fusion title match? Keep guessing this, might be right.

== CMLL ==

Galavision/Televisa: Atlantis vs Ultimo Guerrero

FOX: Sombra/Rush/Thunder vs Averno/Mephisto/Terrible & Misterioso/Namajague/Okumura vs Oro/Cometa/Stuka

52MX: a really good Mascara Dorada vs Mephisto lightning match and Rey Bucanero’s return.

C3: Angel de Oro, Shocker, Valiente vs Kraneo, Mr. Aguila, Psicosis to set up a title match

GDL: Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Universo 2000

TVC Deportes (Puebla): another block of the tournament. Seems like it’s back on Mondays until it changes again.

Terra: Diamante Azul, Mistico, Valiente vs Euforia, Niebla Roja, Volador

== Other ==

IWRG-AYM Sports: tag team tournament

IWRG-TVC Deportes: Fenix vs Dinamic Black

Noches de Coliseo: Seems down to 1 or 2 matches a week, hoping Silencio vs Simbolo makes it thru.

DTU postponed, AAA Fusion

thecubsfan 1 Comment

DTU’s postponed today’s show in Queretaro to sometime in April. They blame it on inability to complete some administrative items done due to the holidays. Among other issues, this messes up the tournament they’re running over four shows.

Last night’s AAA Fusion aired the two orphaned matches from the Sin Limite San Luis Potosi taping – the opener trios with Atomic Boy and Gran Apache, and the Fusion title match preview with the Mexican Powers vs Perros del Mal. They focused on the Fusion tournament thru a lot of the show, so I’d still figure that title match airs here next week. This week’s Tercera Caida is also up. (I didn’t get to scan thru that one.)

AAA posted a news update about the AAA split, though it’s not really anything new. It’s actually less than what we know, because it mentions each group will have each it’s own shows but doesn’t mention specifically Fusion or UTDN. They probably should announce a start date at some point.

This week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter mentions Canek & Villano IV will be used again by AAA going forward. Seems like that would be diminshing returns. Maybe one will get a mask match payoff? (Those last couple parts are me guessing.)

CMLL posted video of Shocker challenging Mr. Aguila.

No Arena Naucalpan show tonight. They’re off to make room for Friday’s AAA TV taping.
