=== CMLL ===
Galavision/Televisa: Part 2 of CMLL Universal Tournament. If you like Tanahashi 3 minutes matches, this may be the show for you. Also, probably Mephisto/Dorada because there aren’t enough singles matches.
FOX: which would put the Terrible/Rush trios here, intersting. I am not at all sure how this will turn out for the Anniversary show. I tend to believe CMLL made a deal to put better matches on the Televisa show in exchange for getting a few more minutes per hour. That’s the way it’s played out, so far, so Terrible/Rush has to be airing there and then it’s a toss up if they want Mistico or Puma/Cometa. I hope they want Mistico. (Also, a women’s trios.)
52MX: build to Negro Casas vs Angel de Oro.
C3: build to Polvora vs Titan.
GDL: Maybe the Smaker/Babaro match, though they’ve skipped over the entire title match. Maybe ciberneticos just didn’t fit timewise? Main is Atlantis/Shocker vs Terrible/UG.
Terra: Angel de Oro vs Negro Casas, the actual match. Also, maybe set up for a Stuka/Fuego vs Namajague/Okumura match next week?
=== Other ===
AAA: After being a bit of a clown show the last couple weekends, AAA should be back on track with part II of TripleMania on both TV and the internet. Their Twitter/Facebook posts have both suggested as such but haven’t outright said it (as is theri way.) No word what the Pintrest site says.
ACM: reruns? I didn’t see a lineup for this past weekend. Hype for COLISEOMANIA perhaps.
IWRG: BT Jr. posted video from last Thursday and last Sunday, which means they weren’t TV tapings, so maybe they’re back to the preeceding Thursday (tonight’s show?) I really don’t know.

That’s a brilliant theory about CMLL getting more minutes per hour.
Another theory I had is that Univision/Galavision complained. I say that because I timed a few other shows that Galavision is airing from Televisa(Noticias por Adela and Joaquin Lopez). Those shows were also doing about 39 minutes per hour and now they’re all doing about 44:00.
The Bandamax show is also 44:00.
Sadly CMLL got more time and the show is the worst wrestling show on television.

@LLL: Someone isn’t watching a lot of wrestling to be calling it the worst wrestling show on television. :)

@Alfredo: @Alfredo: Of all the major league groups it certainly is.
I watch AM RAW, Smackdown, Superstars, Impact, ROH and AAA.
CMLL not only is the worst show, but CMLL should win worst promotion of the year. Total waste of a year, with so much talent and television time.

@LLL: I’ve watched Impact, its not that good. Don’t get carried away with it. Fewer commercial breaks, but at least with the CMLL show its only 1 hour of your life wasted as opposed to 2.

@Alfredo CMLL probably has more content per hour than Impact now. Impact did a good job of building to Slammiversary. Now they are back to their overbooking ways. I’d say Impact is still second to worst.
CMLL’s Televisa show is a disgrace as far as booking or scripting the show. For a flagship show, someone should be fired. The graphics, playbacks, camera angles are all grade A, but it’s just lacking excitement and storyline. The production is good because CMLL works with MVS.
AAA as far as production reminds me of IWCCW in 1988. But they take time to figure out what their angles are and explain them well enough week-to-week.
