(recaps are below. news is much much later.)

I haven’t linked to recaps elsewhere this week, because I’ve been kinda waiting for them to turn up. Victor’s done a lot in the meantime

– AAA from this past weekend. I do like how a match with broken light bulbs ends with a fake low blow. Except the like part.
– CMLL on FSE, or what aired of it.
– CMLL from 08/05/06. Yay Santo.

Meanwhile, Robert’s given into my demands and actually watched the Chicago Lucha, at least DVD 2. When he watches the first match on the first DVD, he’ll thank me. Anyway, since Robert says the match was one the most entertaining matches he’s seen this year, I’m going to start loudly proclaiming my “I saw this lucha tag match and the ROH/Dragon trios match and enjoyed the lucha match more”, and see how long it takes until people think I’m awesome.

(I should totally rip this match and put it up, but I don’t want to take money of people’s pockets, even if they won’t put it in. MAYBE after this Mistico show, which they better be taping.)

Anyway, you should already know this stuff if out there. If you don’t already visit either of these sites, you can now see a list of latest posts on those blogs under the Lucha Elsewhere on the side bar. (RSS is great, and I may make up RSS for rudopolis just because that’s the kind of thing I do.

db addition: I’ve added Last 5 Matches On TV to the profile cards. It’s been there for some days and no one’s noticed, but I thought I should point it out.

It’s not completely accurate at this point; you can see which shows I’ve indexed here; I’ll add it to the sidebar when it’s better. I hope to eventually integrate that more into the other stuff; full lists of every known time a wrestler made air (in a match, at least) are for sure, links on the event listings point back to the episode aired are probably, wacky w-l records that take up too much CPU time are quite likely. The next step from here is linking in recaps, so at some point in future, you’ll be able to click on a profile and find some reviews of what people think about him (if I get to it.)

Anyway, I’ll probably first try to build TV indexes going back to 2004. It doesn’t seem a hard idea for CMLL (though if someone knows what aired on 07/29, that’d be nice), but AAA’s going to be next to impossible since almost everyone lists them by their taping date instead of the air date. I’ll be doing IWRG and the satellite shows, and maybe the Guadalajara stuff, but I don’t think anything else. Does this sound like a good idea to anyone else?
