tecnicos took /23
2) Arkángel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Inquisidor b Metálico, Oro Jr., Sensei
Rudos took 1/3, after Oro Jr. accidentally hit Metalico. Metalico, still in a shoulder brace, went crazy on Oro Jr. after the match.
3) Astral, Eléctrico, Último Dragoncito COR Demus 3:16, Mercurio, Pequeño Olímpico Astral, Electrico, Ultimo Dragoncito vs Demus 3 on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Tecnicos took 2/3, the last by countout after a triple dive. They were allowed to do (multiple) dives because they were in the tercera.
4) Star Jr. b Cavernario [En Busca de un Idolo]
4) Cavernario b Star Jr. [En Busca de un Idolo] Star Jr. vs Cavernario in a En Busca de un Idolo match, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Blue Panther was guest judge. Cavernario defeated Star Jr. in a back superplex flipped into a faceslam. Cavernario scored a 8, 8, 10 and 7 for 33. Star Jr. scored a 6, 7, 7, 9 for a 29.
5) Hechicero b Súper Halcón Jr. [En Busca de un Idolo] Super Halcon Jr. vs Hechicero in a En Busca de un Idolo match, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Hechicero won with a camel clutch. Hechicero scored a 7, 7, 8, and 8 for a 30. Super Halcon Jr. score a 5, 5, 6, and 4.
6) Herodes Jr., Terrible, Vangellys b Sagrado, Stuka Jr., Super Porky
Sagrado replaced Mistico. Rudos took 2/3.
7) Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. b Euforia, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
Rey Bucanero replaced Niebla Roja on Monday. UG planned on jumping Atlantis, but Atlantis got the drop on him. UG still pulled Atlantis’s mask for the first fall DQ. Rudos took fall 2. Delta & Maya beat Bucanero & Euforia in the third.

Terra’s feed was a second of action followed by five seconds of a still image for the first two and a half matches. They restarted the stream in the tercera and everything was fine after that.

Metalico & Oro Jr. feuded at the end of the En Busca de un Idolo qualifying cibernetico. Metalico’s been out of action since then, and is till not 100%, but they definitely were picking back on that in this match. This seems like a much more promising feud than Metalico’s previous one with Hijo del Signo.

Star Jr. & Cavernario was easily the better match of the two En Busca de un Idolo matches. Hechicero went more rudo in his match, as the judges had demanded, and ended up with a below average judges score. He also had to deal with Super Halcon Jr., who is not helping himself or anyone else.

How would’ve the semimain worked had Mistico not suffered a motorcycle accident? Herodes Jr. would’ve worked with him?

CMLL announced a slight change the TV situation. “Guerreros del Ring”, featuring matches from Guadalajara Tuesdays and Mexico City Sundays has been airing on both 52MX and sister channel Claro Sports. They’re going to split that show into two different shows. 52MX keeps the Guerreros del Ring name, but will broadcast matches from Guadalajara exclusively. Claro Sports gets Titanes del Ring and the Mexico City Sunday matches. This change, including long over due new bumpers for Guerreros del Ring, starts this Saturday. CMLL will now have 7 hours of television a week in Mexico (though it’s impossible to get it all via one provider and there’s also 1 additional hour in the US.) They’re also currently airing about 7 hour of internet TV, with a lot of duplication between the two.

This is a net positive for people who like to watch things I upload onto the internet. CMLL has been taping the complete Guadalajara shows, and now two more of those matches will make air. I won’t have access to the Claro Sports show – it doesn’t have a US feed and it’s only on Dish, Megacable and MasTV in Mexico – but all those matches already air on the Terra internet show. (The US version of 52MX gets a few more repeats of Guerreros del Ring than airs in Mexico; ideally they’d replace one of them with the Claro Sports show, but it’s never worked out that way.) There will be some weeks where the Terra feed has some issue and some matches may go missing, but it’s more content most weeks. CMLL has clearly picked (over)saturation over strength and taking any money they can get from slicing up their live content as many ways as possible. This doesn’t seem to do anything to help CMLL’s overall situation but maybe put a few more pesos in someone’s pocket. If you like picking thru the matches, then you might be able to find something more interesting.

The CMLL press release lists the Tuesday Terra broadcast as if it’s ongoing and not just until the end of En Busca de un Idolo. I assume it still is a temporary situation, but maybe it’s something to keep in mind in a couple weeks.

This 05/17 show in New Mexico is not noteworthy in itself, but it’s part of a trend of a crew of Ciudad Juarez luchadors working a wide variety of United States locations the last few months. They’re using the Border Wrestling Association name; Albert has more posters here. Some of the guys who wrestle in Juarez have also turned up on Saturday in Arizona, Colorado and Georgia before returning to Texas or Chihuahua on Sundays. It doesn’t seem like enough to be a full time job, but they’ve figured out something.

Mistico continues posting photos of his damaged leg, this time saying he had four screws placed in, but vowed to return to “1000%” in a few months.

Segunda Caida reviews La Máscara, Rush, Titán vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas.

An Aeroboy vs Black Terry rematch has been added to the 05/25 ChilangaMask show.

LuchaMania has a Sin Cara interview.

Video interview with Los Revolucionarios.

Pasion Kristal talks about being on the Villahermosa taping.

Cronicas y Leyendas looks back at Mr. Niebla defending a middleweight title in 1995. Middleweight!

A fake Hijo del Fishman! Why would you be a fake Hijo del Fishman? If you’re going to lie, lie bigger than that.

Main event we were supposed to get this week! Will they finally do the title match on the 20th?

Guerrero Negro Jr., incredibly, is still on the fringes of the top four. He could really use the win. Super Halcon Jr. is not on the fringes of anything.

Will Metalico’s turn take longer than the Princesa Sugehit?

Semimain is a brothers tag team tournament. Main event looks very good. It’s only the second time Metatron & Sagrado have teamed up. Presumably the top 3 matches will air, but that’s going to take a week to figure out.

4 thoughts to “CMLL adds another TV show, Metalico contra Oro Jr., En Busca de un Idolo”

  1. CMLL adds another show? Meanwhile I was thinking about AAA on el Rey TV today, and realized it has been 1 year and 2 months since that big day when Dorian did the press release to announce the big US invasion.

  2. Have you notice AAA has been quiet about the El Rey stuff recently?

    I notice Court Bauer mention something about AAA having a reality show on El Rey as well on the last radio show. He also said the plans for AAA looks awesome. I am assuming Konnan told him some things.

    At least AAA announce a network right away. Jeff Jarrett promotion had their so called big announcements but have no talent or tv network.

  3. If El Rey and AAA’s plan haven’t changed, there’s not going to be much news. The last we knew is the tapings would start the week after TripleMania. They should be working at writing the shows and designing any new character they’re going to debut, but that’s not stuff they’re going to want to reveal until they’re ready to get rolling. If they’re going to say much about the show right now, it’s generally limited to the “it’s going to be so awesome!!!!” type comments, and I’m fine with being spared those after hearing them for the last year.

    three things we can take as signs of things happening
    – new people coming aboard
    – an air date announcement
    – a taping location announcement

    Bengala might be in with an idea to also use him for the US shows. They definitely have plans on using Sin Cara and Averno in the US, but they should be difference makers even in Mexico alone. AAA has leaked US indy names they’d like to use to the Observer enough times that some of them will definitely be invited to participate and it would make sense for them to work with AAA guys in Mexico before taping for the US, but there’s no sign of them yet. (Maybe sometime in the post-Verano->TripleMania period?)

    There’s no sign of an air date. El Rey is going with one original show on the air and talking up the next show coming after it. That show won’t start airing until after the World Cup, and that’s when they should start teasing the AAA show if it is airing during 2014. (If they don’t start talking up AAA in July, or they talk about something else in that spot, then we know something’s gone awry.)

    We know they plan on taping in the Los Angeles area. We don’t know a venue yet, but again it’s too far out to start promoting something like that.

    I think it should e a couple more months before we’re concerned about not hearing about anything. AAA’s done themselves no favors by previously saying when the show would happen only to completely blow by the start date, and it’s certainly possible it could happen, but we’re not quite there yet.
