10/16-17 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: last show before Heroes Imortales. Militia vs Crazy Boy/Brazo/Gato, Stones vs Aero/Laredo and Wagner/Tiger/Jack vs Damian/Halloween/Park. I think Rob and I differ on this show, though some of it is probably having just seen Wagner/Park live, and the main event being sort of a less good repeat.

52MX: Block B of the tag team tournament? I hope so.

LATV: again, it’s the anniversary show if this airs.

GDL: Poder Mexica vs Gallo, Blanco, Rush again, plus Aguila/Terrible/Texano vs Sombra/Maximo/Toscano.

Since both me and Alfredo have looked to see if the show was moved late and found nothing, I’m taping everything on Teleformula from 4AM to 4PM on Saturday. We’ll see if it works.

————–

CMLL: Negro vs Charly? Or will they just wait?

AAA-MEX: Maybe just 3 matches – Lider/Nicho vs Damian/Halloween/Konnan, Wagner/Kain, and the cage match – with the NOAH match and the opening atomicos not airing in Mexico. They may air the NOAH match eventually, but I’m not sure the point. Unless it was a good match (which seems unlikely), not sure how having Chessman return + lose to a guy the audience doesn’t know helps them at all.

FOX: Women’s trios, Mascara/Sombra/Dragon vs Nuevo Guerreros del Atlantida. Dragon Rojo is officially in the group as of tonight – CMLL doesn’t run angles on shows to set these up, they just post them on Twitter.

C3: Garza/Aguila/Taichi vs Panther/Dorada/Shocker

Puebla: On? Off? TVC Deportes doesn’t list Monday yet.

ACM: your guess is as good as mine

PdM: Last week, Perros del Mal aired 3 matches from the 01/17/10 taping. Random tape out of the vault this week, I guess.

IWRG: top 3 from this past Sunday, so the big Freelance vs Comando Negro hair vs mask match.

——–

CMLL-TFN: Mistico, Shocker Strong Man vs Atlantis, UG, Negro Casas

10/10-11 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: Morenos return to TV, Maniacos beat down Lider forever, and tecnicos are angry after Octagon has red liquid dropped on him (I think)

52MX: Guessing women’s match and 7 tournament matches get compressed into one show.

LATV: this should be the anniversary show, so matches from that show will air in Japan and the US before they air in Mexico. Probably the semimain too, since they can’t stop from showing the Pesta Negra/Invasors match every week.

The thing I can’t figure out – if LATV can show matches that air on the main show, why don’t they just show the main show on LATV? Or just the main matches with new commentary if they must? For normal people who watch the show and aren’t watching the show from Mexico on YouTube, they might actually appreciate seeing the main angles and all.

GDL: Peste Negra versus locals/Rush + Strong Man vs Niebla.

———–

CMLL: top 3 includes last build for Charly/Negro, Super Sky Team V2? vs Guerreros/Dragon Rojo.

AAA-MEX: part 1 of Heroes Inmortales, and they haven’t hinted what’ll air here.

CMLL-FOX: what doesn’t air elsewhere; maybe Guerreros/Dragon vs Trios champs + Maximo/Valietne vs Japan. Whatever airs, it’ll air a lot earlier – show is listed as airing at 7 am due to extensive baseball playoff coverage.

C3: LA Mascara vs Volador Jr.

Puebla: can’t tell if it’s on the schedule

ACM: have no idea

PdM: have no idea – they’re out of tapings. With the 10/17 show scrubbed, they’re out of tapings for quite a while.

IWRG: Just three random trios. The plan seems to be to keep all the big matches on Sundays, and off TV.

CMLL-TFN: Yujrio vs Black Warrior

10/02-03 Lucha Times

box.

I’ve watched no TV from this past week yet. I’ve watched all the TV from last week (+ a recap of the main CMLL show) but they recaps are in various unfinished states. And I need to write a preview for Verano de Escandalo, probably with a Perro Jr. vs Mesias poll for my friend on Twitter. Hmmmm. Still doing a chat on Friday, probably need to do a post on that seperate soon.

AAA-US: Verano sort of rematch – Ciber/Mesias/Park vs Damain/Halloween/Perro + a minis title match.

52MX: Assuming they’re actually sticking with the new split, this show gets Los Tigres Negros + a women’s match

LATV: An unaired minis match should air here

GDL: Invasors vs Shocker/Mascara/Maximo + Fantasma/Rush vs Ephesto/Vangelis. I’m probably not going to like this show.

—-

CMLL: Mistico’s favorite feud (Pesta Negra vs Invasors) continues on. Lyger faces Strong Man, goes home. FWIW, Strong Man indicated on his Twitter that he was heading to NJPW for the G1 Tag Tournment, the same one CMLL mentioned Texano and Terrible are in.

AAA-MEX: remaining matches from the last taping – Milita vs Crazy/Brazo/Gato, Stones vs Aero/Laredo, Wagner/Tiger/Jack vs Halloween/Damian/Park

CMLL-FOX: Liger’s last appearance on this show for a while, plus Mistico/Strong Man/Sombra vs Niebla/Terrible/Texano in a match that will seem familiar.

C3:

Puebla: not on the TVC Deportes next Monday. Did it air last week? Don’t see it on the usual YouTube palces.

Perros: down to the final two matches; mixed tag with the women and the Air Force/Pimpi vs Bestia/Pesadilla/Ragde

IWRG: Matches which have yet to occur! They’ve been showing top 3 here usually, which means the Freelance/Comando Negro feud doesn’t air and the pointless looking Apaches vs Random People From Japan does. That doesn’t seem to fit well with what IWRG’s trying to sell.

CMLL-TFN: more Warrior vs No Limit, Sombra/Dorada/Volador vs Hijos de Averno and Misterioso vs Maximo

09/18-19 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: AAA invades IWRG and vice/versa. Oficials and Air Force debate the proper jurisdictions of federal and municipal keepers of the peace, Silver King & Ultimo Gladiador defend their tag titles, Billy Boy and Decnnis “are in the main event.”

52MX: Assuming last week was a one off change (???), this is the poorly reviewed women’s match from Sunday and Mistico/Strong Man/Valiente vs Terrible/Texano/Volador

LATV: Solidly in the period where the main show is airing 4 matches a week, so every week has a repeat if they don’t start showing openers. New match here is Fuego/Stuka/Valiente vs Misterioso/Okumura/Yoshihashi.

GDL: back on track? Sangre/Okumura/Yoshihashi vs Angels/Rush + Atlantis/Neibla vs Maximo/Porky. Feel free to skip over this week.

—————

CMLL: Mistico vs Volador, surely, and more Pesta Negra vs Invasors

AAA: the taping that just happened yesterday. The end of 187?

CMLL FOX: Averno vs Charly Manson, for some sort of title belt.

C3: the taping that just happened yesterday. Atlantis/UG/Felino vs Panther/Dorada/Toscano, Averno/Lyger/Okumura vs Metro/Sagrado/Valiente

Puebla: tag title match, Panther/Sombra/Sagrado vs Averno/Lyger/Mephisto

ACM: maybe the 09/06 matches?

Perros: Not sure. They may be able to air part of tomorrow’s taping (that’s IWRG’s schedule – is TVCDeportes taping two shows tomorrow?) and the ad for next week’s show certainly implied that was the plan, and even that they were going to air the main event (which seems unlikely.) They did have a show in between at Arena Aficion, but I don’t know if they taped that. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was AAA footage.

IWRG: the taping that just happened tomorrow. Wait. Decnnis vs Dr. Cerebro for a title belt. I’m sure there must be many I’m missing, but a quick search in the match finder says this is the first singles match Decnnis has ever had. Surely the first TV match. Another AAA vs IWRG main event.

——–

CMLL-TFN (Canada): Metro vs Euforia, Sombra/Volador/Valiente vs Texano/Terrible/Mephisto, NoLimit/Okumura vs Warrior/Mistico/UG. They’re still a couple weeks out of the hair match, so I assume they’re strongly into the period where Black Warrior didn’t care much anymore.

AAA-Peru: 187 teams with Konnan, which makes the turn official. It’s funny, I just got done watching Verano de Escandalo, where 187 finally puts Konnan thru a table. Outside of the tag title change, nothing else meaningful has happened in this storyline in the four months in between. Also, WagnerManiacos vs Chessman/Kenzo/Zorro.

09/11-12 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: Verano remainder bin. Relevos AAA, Jack/187 vs Legion/Nosawa, and Perro Aguayo Jr.’s in ring return.

52MX: La Militia (CMLL) & Puma King vs Guerrero Maya, Tigre Blanco and Molotov, which is alone enough to sell me. Main event adds Lyger/ReyBuc/UG vs Valiente/Rush/Toscano. Close.

LATV: if they air a new episodes, this taping week had everything air but the opener. So surely Molotov/Sensei vs Disturbio/Durango (a double Molotov week?!?) and probably a repeat of the minis trios. By the way, I figured out the accidental break during this past week’s show did not overlap between airings, so I might be able to frankenstein together complete versions of both matches. If I can find the time. Edit: so they didn’t air the tercera (I thought they did) so that’ll definitely air. Maybe with a rerun, hopefully without.

GDL: last week’s show still isn’t up on the internet, so who knows. This is supposed to be the Lyger/Mistico week. Guess we’ll see! Edit: that aired, so instead of seeing Lyger vs Mistico, the main event is Atlantis & Mr. Niebla vs Rotoporky & Maximo. I hate you, Teleformula.

CMLL-MEX: Back to Saturday, back to recent footage. Tecnico Bicentenario tournament + Pesta Negra vs Invaders + time for more?

AAA-MEX: Mari vs Sexi for the women’s title, Metal/187 vs FdT/Electro in a street fight, and Ciber/Mesias/Parka vs Hernandez/Perro/Zorro.

CMLL-FOX: Yoshihashi/Cancerbros vs Fabian/AirForce + Invaders vs Hijos de Averno (Olimpico’s first unmasked match.)

C3: Dorada/Negro + rudo Bicentenario tournament

Puebla: they skipped ahead a week; Sombra/Volador is on YouTube already. That brings them back up to a same week turaround, so this show builds up the Dorada/Mistico tag title challenge.

ACM: dunno.

Perros: All that’s left from the expo: the opener + Angel/Hijo de Misterio/Hijo de Park vs Bestia/Warrior/TJP. That’s actually an interesting show.

IWRG-TVC Deportes: They’re back! Sunday, 10pm to midnight. No idea what.

CMLL-TFN: skipping the anniversary show week and evading the Gran Alternativa, that leaves Avernos vs Maximo/Toscano/Volador and Ultimo Guerrero vs Jushin Lyger for the Heavyweight Championship.

—-

AAA-PERU: A triple header of storylines that went nowhere: Ishimori & Morishima challenges 187 for the tag team titles, Cibernetico & the Clowns wrestle in an atomicos, and Pimpinela teams up with the WagnerManiacos. I guess that tag title change did start the Nicho/Lider tecnico turn, but the wrong team came back to drop the belts, CiberClowns are in the same place four months later, and I’ve forgotten they forget the whole Pimpi deal.

09/04-05 Lucha Times

AAA-US: part 1 of Verano de Escandalos, with both title matches and Metal (& Octagon) vs Electroshock (& Ultimo Gladiador)

52MX: Delta/Metro/Fuego vs Euforia/Nosferatu/Polvora, plus Charly/Olimpico/Psicosis vs AVerno/Negro/Bucanero

LATV: minis match plus grab bag trios this week?

GDL: Delta/Metro/Rush vs Euforia/Nosferatu/Loco Max. I’d guess the 52MX version will be better. Plus Averno/Lyger vs Dorada/Mistico as they set up next week’s singles match.

—-

CMLL-MEX: Who knows. Televisa doesn’t even have listings for the weekend on their website right now.

AAA-MEX: from Arena Naucalpan; Dinamitas Juniors get their tag title match, Billy Boy & Decnnis get to be in the main event. Sort of.

C3: more build to Dorada/Negro Casas

Puebla: 90 minutes on Sunday, so maybe only three matches? Trios to building SOmbra/Volador.

Monterrey: even more Tony Rivera for you?

PdM: women’s tag match + Angel/Hijo de Rey/Hijo de Park vs Bestia, Warrior, TJP?

—-

CMLL-TFN: Terrible/Mascara, Peste Negra vs Panther/Garza/Toscano, and Lyger/No Limit vs Atlatnis/Warrior/UG
