Last week for TxT for now. Check Twitter for any last minute changes on Saturday, I guess.

== AAA ==

AAA-Televisa: Assuming Xalapa show just never airs on Televisa (it aired mostly complete on UTDN) and they’re onto Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera. This has to be spread over 2 shows, so maybe the tag title match, the semimain and the Mirreyes vs Secta match, saving the big match for next week? No real hint here.

AAA-Fusion: An episode scheduled for this week was pulled. There are no tapings, and there are no unaired matches as long as they’re running two show tapings (which seems to be case for both DF & Queretaro.) This show is on hold for at least a month.

== CMLL ==

Galavision/Televisa: maybe Ultimo Guerrero vs Atlantis trios?

FOX: maybe Sombra vs Volador trios? When the Anniversary match airs – assuming it airs! – I guess it’ll be the entirity of one of these shows. Which means these feuds shouldn’t be contained to one TV show.

52MX: Angel de Oro vs Puma take too, TVT vs Mascara/Rush/Titan, Peste Negra vs Marco/Thunder/Shocker

C3: Guerreros vs Revolucinarios, week 2, Azul vs Vangelis, second MEX LIGHT cibernetico.

TVC Deportes (Puebla): Azul vs Ultimo Guerrero – it’s the week of Diamante Azul singles matches!

Terra: Sombra/Marco/Maximo vs Ephesto/Mephisto/Volador, build to something in the semimain.

== Other ==

IWRG-AYM Sports: Festival of Mascaras show, if it airs.

Noches de Coliseo: Lucero vs Hechicero for the title.

IWL: maybe the start of 06/18 Aficion show, with a lot of locals battling for the IWL Lightweight title?

TxT: US vs the World (Brian Cage debut) and Dinmitas vs Rayo in 2013.

Peste Negra win in Aficion, Horuz on CMLL, Consejo vs Consejo

CMLL (TUE) 08/06/2013 Arena Aficion [Funcion Estelar]
1) Avispón & Sacristán del Diablo b Avatar & Ram
2) Chamuel b Gallito Feliz
Guapito replaced Gallito Feliz.
3) Antar, Ares, Cronos b Ares, Íkaro, Pantera I
First time back for these two teams; they faced a lot in the last couple years (back when not-yet-Fenix and not-yet-Pentagon Jr. were part of the trios; Ares & Pantera are in their spots.) Not sure I’ve got the correct Pantera. Money thrown in.
4) Arenita & Payaso Clon DQ Big Boy & X-Fly
X-Fly fould Arenita.
5) Mr. Niebla & Negro Casas b La Sombra & Niko
Rudos took 1/3, Niebla unmasking Sombra and pinning him.

CMLL must not be too concerned about Sombra’s ankle if they’re okay with him wrestling on 1/3rd full Arena Aficion shows. Brazo de Oro was there running a show, and there was a mention of him handling the local press poorly.

This week’s Tercera Caida included an interview with Horuz. He says he went to CMLL management repeatedly to ask what he work on to move up on cards, and the only suggestion he ever got was to improve his body. That does sound like CMLL. He’s going to be sticking with the Horuz name – Angel Blanco’s wife has indicated she does not want him to use the name – and hopes to become a star on the indy scene to return to CMLL with a bigger spot. That’s a reasonable plan, but it’s really tough to become a star on the indies; you need to be treated consistently as a top star in a promotion that has some visibility.

Even by the standards of odd AAA spot show lineups, Texano Jr. defending the AAA Mega championship against Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. is very strange.

AAA took part in a handwashing campaign and visited a children’s hospital.

Psicosis is unsure if he and Daga can get another shot at the tag team titles, but plans to embarrass Joe Lider and Crazy Boy in Queretaro regardless.

CMLL posted the offical lineup for Monday in Puebla. Despite Amapola and Marcela challenging for a title match next week, they’re really not on the show. Maybe they just made the challenge on their own.

Rob has highlights of 07/09/13 CMLL, with the Titan vs Averno rematch.
