CMLL (FRI) 12/11/2015 Arena México [CMLL, R de Rudo, thecubsfan]
1) Akuma & Canelo Casas b Bengala & Soberano Jr.
12:48. rudos took 1/3
2) Demus 3:16, Mercurio, Pierrothito b Astral, Eléctrico, Shockercito
14:35. Rudos took 1/3.
3) Blue Panther, Blue Panther Jr., Super Porky b Misterioso Jr., Pierroth, Sagrado
10:41. Tecnicos took 2/3.
4) Super Parka DQ Negro Casas [lightning]
Bad match. Parka was winded early. Super Parka won by DQ in 7:29 when Negro Casas dropkicked Super Parka into referee Edgar, then fouled Parka. Parka demanded a hair match tonight after the main event. Casas dropkicked him, attacked the referee again, and agreed to a hair match for next week.
5) Máximo Sexy, Mistico, Rush DQ Ephesto, Euforia, Kamaitachi
11:34. Tecnicos took 2/3, the last by DQ when Kamaitachi fouled Maximo when Maximo went for the kiss. Kamaitachi challenged Maximo to a hair match next week and Maximo accepted.
6) Shocker, Terrible, Último Guerrero b Kráneo, Ripper, Thunder
10:09. Mr. Niebla replaced Thunder. The announcers did not mention Thunder. UG’s team took 2/3 in a heatless match.
This was a bad show. It’s good we know there are bigger matches coming, because it’s been a dead stretch outside of the Kamaitachi/Dragon Lee feud.
Maximo & Kamaitachi specifically challenged for a hair match next week. Super Parka and Negro Casas made hair matches challenges as well. Neither match seems to be happening next week. CMLL’s recap mentions neither challenge. I’m totally confused.
CMLL offered no explanation about Thunder’s absence, but their note on the show (still) says Thunder/Ultimo Guerrero is on. This has happened a lot with Thunder.
There’s a Mexico City tourism kiosk in Arena Mexico now. Presumably it’s there in case you end up at a dead show like last night and want to find something better to check out.
Lucha Underground tapes two episodes tonight and three more tomorrow. There are people heading to both the Temple and the PWG show later tonight, and they’re probably going to have a good day. If the expected debut happens, figure on it happening sometime around 7pm CT.
The debut show for Lucha & Tacos is today in Deportivo del SME with an 8 man tournament. First round matches are Toxin (Kriminal Boys) vs Fly Warrior (Mala Hiebra), Dragon Celta vs Rocky Lobo, Magnifico II vs Alas de Acero (Kamikazes) and Baku (debut) vs Latigo (Mala Hiebra).
Today’s CMLL Sabados Retro show has Blue Panther, La Mascara and Super Porky versus Euforia, Bobby Z and Gran Guerrero in the main event. Guerrero Maya & The Panther challenge Misterioso & Sagrado in a non-title match and almost have to get a title shot if they win.
Sunday has a GIW show – the indy that runs very occasionally at Arena Azteca Budokan – with Oriental & Super Nova vs Arez & Belial and Herodes vs Black Terry fronting a pretty good card. The Elite show has Rush & Caristico teaming up against Sharlie & Mephisto.
AAA’s already put this week’s TV show. Dinastia is happy with his title defense on that show.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.
Rey Misterio is going to Chile on March 13.
There was a reunion of old luchadors.
Lineups
CMLL (FRI) 12/18/2015 Arena México
1) Oro Jr. & Star Jr. vs Espiritu Negro & Metálico
2) Blue Panther Jr., Esfinge, Fuego, Pegasso, The Panther, Tritón vs Cancerbero, Puma, Raziel, Sangre Azteca, Súper Comando, Tiger [cibernetico]
3) Ángel de Oro, La Máscara, Máximo Sexy vs Kamaitachi, Pólvora, Virus
4) Shocker, Terrible, Último Guerrero vs Kráneo, Ripper, Thunder
5) Atlantis, Carístico, Volador Jr. vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Negro Casas
Seeing Caristico in the video promo was weird. Bringing him back one week before the Christmas iPPV is weirder. Not sure if this means all the top Elite guys will be here eventually; they really ought to do a Hell Brothers run-in or something to spark interest in those shows.
No sign of Super Parka, or either of those hair matches. Maybe they’re being added to the holiday shows to prop them up, but why not just say that last night? I dunno.
Thunder back on this show.
A cibernetico with the cage match participants was a pretty easy guess and will also probably be a pretty good match.
Espiritu Negro hasn’t been on a CMLL show since August. He is not Canelo Casas, so it’s good to see him.
I know you will have been asked this multiple times BUT is there anywhere that has a list of what shows CMLL and AAA have televised each week, on what days and stations.
Thanks for any help.
CMLL airs live on Friday nights at 9:30 PM ET on Clarosports.com and the CMLL Puebla shows air live Monday nights on the CMLL YouTube page at 10:00 PM ET I believe it is. It’s a YouTube live stream. As for AAA, I believe they air on Galavision. Cubs Fan will have to get ya the deets for AAA but I think they air episodes on Saturday (not sure of a time and I don’t think they are ever live). Their YouTube page uploaded this week’s show. It was good quality, as I watched it last night, and a good show overall. Don’t think AAA will have any new eps until January now, just replays.
Thanks man
AAA airs on Saturdays, starting sometime around 6pm ET (usually 6:15, but sometimes it’ll start early). There’s no official feed for it, but one of their regional affilates broadcasts a live stream: http://sipse.com/galatv/merida/ – it may occasionally be pre-empted for local programming.
CMLL has a bunch of US TV shows on small networks, but you’re showing up as from UK so I don’t think that’ll help you much. There’s a channel called Extreme Sports in the UK airing “Fighting Spirit Wrestling” which airs old CMLL, AAA and NJPW. I don’t know much about it beyond that, but might be worth checking out.
Wow i’ve had the channel for years and never watch it. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks
