The big card tonight is in Ciudad Madero, as AAA wraps up it’s year with it’s Guerrera de Titanes show.
AAA TV (FRI) 12/08 Centro de Convenciones de Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas
1) Billy Boy, Fabi Apache, Mascarita Sagrada, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Gran Apache, Mini Abismo Negro, Polvo de Estrellas, Rossy Moreno
2) Alebrije, Angel, Elegido, Laredo Kid vs Abismo Negro, Antifaz, Charly Manson, Histeria
3) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Psicosis II vs Cuervo, Ozz, Scoria
4) Brazo de Plata vs Intocable vs Alan Stone vs Scorpio Jr. [hair]
5) La Parka Jr., Octagon, Zorro vs ?, ??, ???
6) Cibernetico vs Muerte Cibernetica
Opener should be okay, and it’d be nice if they had a new twist to the story. Second doesn’t have much going on, but it should be Charly Manson’s farewell from the Vipers (unless they’re being brought into the new group.) Third match should set up another atomicos title match down the road, with Espiritu taking Chessman’s place. It’s probably Scorpio Jr. losing his hair, though it sure wouldn’t be a surprise to see Porky go bald again. No word on the mystery people, but logically they’ve got to be Konnan and/or TNA people. Homicide and Samoa Joe are both scheduled to be in Chicago Ridge tonight (so was I, but I think I’d end up sicker), so cross them off the list of possibilities.
I’d think Cibernetico would get the win to cement him as a big tecnico, but then what? Whatever the case, the whole locker room will interfere in the main event.
Arena Mexico’s show is a simple setup to next week’s hair match, and not really an effective one at that.
CMLL (FRI) 12/08 Arena Mexico
1) Danger & Valiente vs Artillero & Super Comando
2) Fabian el Gitano, Mascara Purpura, Metro II vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Blue Panther, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
4) Heavy Metal, Shocker, Universo 2000 vs Alex Koslov, Kenzo Suzuki, LA Park
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero
Ovaciones pushes the card as a continuation of the Atlantis/Wagner and Ultimo/Rey feuds. Too bad those aren’t the feuds they’re selling next week. Unless CMLL.com’s tease is meant to be taken seriously and they’d really turn the CMLL TRIOS match into a three way if the tecnicos won here, there’s no reason for them and the Perros not to be conflicting in some way. Even with Corelone not around, if the semi-main is supposed to be the ticket seller next week, why is it the semimain?
Koslov seems higher than usual, as if he’s taking Corelone’s spot. Probably just for the night.
YOU CAN WATCH THE PHOTOS OF THE 73TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW IN THE ARENA MEXICO NOW!!! http://www.alexiscmll.blogspot.com
I sure the hell hope Lance Hoyt isn’t one of the mystery opponents. Please dear gawd don’t let him be one.
Next week’s lineups are out and I’m liking the weekend TV in two weeks! Mini’s actually have a good chance of making TV! Plus the main event has Shocker/Mistico/Volador Jr. teaming which could be all sorts of awesome. Yes, I admit… I am a fan of tecnico Shocker.
Lots of Mictlan though who is supposedly an ex-Guadalajara wrestler. He looks farmiliar but I can’t place who it is. I was going to guess Magnum but the hint given was that Mictlan wrestled unmasked in Guadalajara…
Looks like Lady Apache will get her “revenge” on Hiroka in a pointless title match but hey – at least it’s finally a National Title defense!
I hope the Arena Mexico show is on PPV. Strong card on paper.
Mephisto and Ephesto is gonna get really confusing soon.
Yeah, lineups look good – but it says at the top that the big Arena Mex show is just a normal galavision taping :(
If it is, then i hope they show the top 3 matches instead of the top 2 with tomorrows Coliseo segunda – I don’t want to miss Mistico, Volador and the new gimmick. Likewise with Sagrado/Volador/Panther last night.
What is promising is that they’re only putting a womens title match 3rd from top on a Coliseo show – fans beginning to lose interest in the women? Hope so.
Any word on whether the awesome looking Arena Mex segunda from last week aired on GdR today? I really want to see that one – as well as last nights segunda which should hopefully air next weeks(looks like Hooligan subbed for Nitro.)
Hooligan for Nitro is like trading the entire Jays roster for the entire Yankees roster. Great deal!
FSE is airing the Ladies match and the main event, as expected… Teleton had AAA vs CMLL in a draw… didn’t catch it but the ending…
