Samurai TV has the anniversary show on the schedule for the first week of October, hopefully that’ll show up at some point

@Alan: Yeah I was assuming TV would mess up the start of each fall since they didn't wait for the whistle and just went at it each time. Overall the TV version was pretty great though. They edited out 30 seconds of the 2nd fall and the only other edits were shortening the time they spent resting/selling. It took away from the drama a bit but nothing outrageous unless you had already seen the handheld. It hurt the drama a bit as did the lack of crowd noise due to overdubbed announcers as you mentioned. I'd still recommend the handheld to anyone who hasn't watched yet. Much better for overall atmosphere.

“3) Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Rey Cometa vs Puma King, Sangre Azteca, Vangelis”

Man does this look awesome! Forget the most amazing tecnico team of all-time for a second – the rudo team has Puma King who has been tearing it up during this feud with Cometa and VANGELIS who is a sentimental favorite of mine. He’s an underrated base and has experience catching Cometa so there could be some wild stuff here! This is also a great chance for Sangre Azteca to remind everyone he used to be a fantastic rudo. No better match than here. What a great bump for Cometa to be teaming with Panther even if it is a mid-card match. Wonder if they’ll do anything with Panther/Puma that ties into the Panther/Felino feud from last year?

Just caught this week’s Fox Sports show. Outstanding. My only complaints are that they were still doing the intro graphics when Cometa and Puma were already going all out, and I wish they would mic the crowd better, but that is tough if you aren’t doing live commentary.

I thought Cometa looked younger and better than he did in the post match pictures that showed up the night of the show. I haven’t watched any of the handheld video yet, so I’ll be interested in hearing how the match came off there as opposed to TV.

Who would air a secondary AAA show in the US?

LATV? That would be good because they will respect the timeslot.

Estrella? After all these years, they finally decided to buy programming from CMLL. But that will fail because it’s a shit show with shit production. If AAA has programming that isn’t under the thumb of Televisa, they could be in a position to solicit Estella when they realize CMLL was a mistake.

Realistically, I can’t think of anyone else in Spanish television. Univision sure won’t and Telemundo is NBC/Universal.
