11/27-28 lucha times

box

AAA-US: Fun show, especially the first few matches. Ilegal debuts, Jack & Tiger return from Japan, and Zorro suddenly gets an angle.

52MX: excellent rudo trio of Demus/Escorpion/Puma. Less excellent trio of Polvora/Okumura/Yoshihashi in the main event.

LATV: They have been jumping around here. Next in line is a show with a Electrico/Warrior minis trios and a women’s trios (tecnicas vs Invasors)

TF: the 11/02 taping, which CMLL and Fuego never actually had results for. Escorpion teams with Misterioso and Sangre vs the dream team of of Fabian/Rush/Toscano + Avernos vs Sombra/Maximo/Shocker.

———–

CMLL: Build up for Bucanero vs Aguila + other people having matches.

AAA-MEX: LA Park returns, teams with Maniacos vs Mesias, Jack, Parka. Minis roulette match, lumberjack match.

AAA-LLP: Minis match and one of the quarterfinals.

CMLL-FOX: Durango/Tuareg vs Angel/Starman/*Cameleon* + Dragon/UG/Volador vs Sombra/Mistico/Shocker. That sounds really good.

CMLL-C3: Fantasma, Mascara, Msitico vs Ephesto, Taichi, Texano

CMLL-GDL: bonus match is Neutron & Palacio Negro vs Angel del Mal & Malefico, which is probably pretty solid.

ACM: they went backwards last week, so no idea. I probably should just be asking people on Twitter

IWRG: not totally sure what’s going on here, but maybe Sunday’s show? Time is correct, at least.
———–

CMLL-TFN: Last year’s Sin Piedad = No Limit vs Texano & Terrible.

11/20-21 Lucha Times

box.

I’m uncertain about a lot of the minor shows in Mexico. I haven’t seen a Puebla or Perros show for download in a long while, and TVC Deportes isn’t really updating their listings. I’m under the impression Perros are just showing reruns to keep the slot warm, and Puebla has disappeared, but I don’t know if that’s right. Week 2 of Lucha Libre Premier has not turned up, so I’m still not sure if they’re stretching it out like last year.

AAA: 90 minute show (though Galavision doesn’t have this right on all the airings.) Psycho Circus vs Perro del Mal, take 1. Super Fly hangs out with the most obvious planted fans in some time. People from Japan!

52MX: Angels vs Tuareg, 2Casas/Ephesto vs Fantasma/Toscano/Valiente

LATV: if a new one airs, we may be onto Tuareg vs Pegasso/Cometa/Azteca + Cancerberos vs 2D/Angel de Oro. Only the top 2 aired from this taping, so they could air other stuff.

———

CMLL: Rush vs Polvora in a preview of next week’s bodybuilding contest, Pesta Negra/UG vs Invasors

AAA: the AAA taping happening tonight.

AAA-LLP: if a new episode aired, maybe Mesias/Electro vs Ciber/Herandez.

CMLL-FOX: 2D/Fuego vs Euforia/Sangre/Okumura + Garza/Taichi/Volador vs Porky/Maximo/Mistico

CMLL-C3: top 4, including Fantasma/Mascara/Mistico vs Atlantis/Felino/UG

CMLL-GDL: bonus match is Gallo/Neutron vs bald Evola/Exterminador. Pass?

ACM: if new, it’ll be local action: Silencio/Simbolo vs Demonio/Veneno Xtremo

IWRG: they’ve switched back and forth between Thursday and Sunday, but I’m thinking the tag title change (and, more interesting, Diabolicos vs Terry/Cerberos) airs.

————

CMLL-TFN: Dark Angel/Amapola, Avernos vs Sombra/Toscano/Volador, No Limit/Okumura vs Terrible/Texano/Vangelis. Who’s better, Okumura or Vangelis?

11/13-14 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: Most time seems to go to Chessman/Hernandez/Zorro vs Cuervo/Parka/Ozz, though the handcuff match with 187 and Maniacos seemed to go the longest. Militia (now with Tito) take on Argenis/Crazy/Gato in a sure sign they were running another show this night.

CMLL 52MX: Women’s Trios, and things go poorly for Mephisto.

CMLL LATV: yea, right.

CMLL TF: Appears to be on at 4pm Eastern on Sunday, but watch it change again. Matches are Angels/Fabian vs Pandilla Yoghurt + Panther/Fantamsa/Dorada vs Averno/Mephisto/Okumura.

———

CMLL: currently listed as 90 minutes. We’ll see. Enough time for the lightning match, Invasors vs Peste Negra (the return!) and more Dragon Rojo vs Mistico.

AAA: Do not miss the exciting debut of El Illegal. Also, Tiger & Jack return from Japan to team with Aerostar vs the Militia and the minis may make TV.

AAA Fox: Cibernetico/Hernandez vs Parka/Psycho + Mesias/Electroshock vs Tiger/LA Park.

CMLL Fox: Cancerberos vs Angels/Fabian, Porky/Maximo/Shocker vs Hector/Negro/Volador.

CMLL C3: Atlantis vs the Invasors. Rush vs Polvora in a bodybuilding contest preview.

CMLL TVCD: Puebla still off? Probably.

ACM: They’ve been airing the semimain lately, and Silenco/Simbolo vs Demonio/Veneno is the semimain here.

PdM: Reruns? Off?

IWRG: Psycho Circus + Pirata vs Dinamitas.

———-

CMLL TFN: No Limit/Okumura vs Terrible/Texano/Vangelis + Mistico/Shocker/Strong Man vs Averno/Felino/Negro

11/06-07 Lucha Times

box.

as noted earlier on Twitter: Mexico started Daylight Savings Time last weekend. That means everything is happening an hour earlier than usual on Saturday. (We catch up on Sunday.) On the chart, I’ve got the Mexico times listed with their local time, but that’s effectively one hour later in the US & Canada.

This is as good a place as to note posts might be light this weekend. I’ve already got an open thread post scheduled to show up Saturday if I don’t have time for news. The usual video links may be late as well.

AAA-US: La Secta has their first match since joining Team AAA at Heroes Inmortales (and comes off as a bigger deal this time.) Militia face Laredo/SuperFly and Lider/Nicho and aren’t really the focus of either. Main is Hernandez/Park/Zorro vs Mesias/Parka/Octagon.

52MX: now that tournament is over, guessing this show is harder work! Expecting Minis + Team Japan vs Maximo/Toscano/Valiente here.

LATV: If they go in order, this is a minis match and a women’s trios. The odds of this show making any sense are low.

CMLL GDL on Teleformula: Avernos/Dragon vs Maximo/Rush/Toscano + Mistico/Fantasma/Porky vs Guerreros.

FWIW, the bonus match for GDL webfeed this week is Black Metal & Metal Blanco vs Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno. Need to add that show to the chart soon.

———

CMLL: listed at 3PM and 2 hours long but surely that’ll change. Guerreros vs Mascara/Sombra/Mistico + CMLL vs Invasors cibernetico.

AAA-MEX: Cuervo/Ozz vs Chessman/Zorro + Psycho Circus do not win a match.

AAA-Premier: On Fox Sports at 9pm on Saturday, and does not appear to be picked up on the US version of this channel. Guessing they go in order: Chessman/Jack vs Pimpi/Silver + Ciber/Hernandez vs Parka/Psycho

CMLL-FOX: Women’s trios, plus Avernos+Rey Buc vs Porky/Panther/Fantasma. I think there’s a Mephisto/Fantasma feud going on, but CMLL’s not really mentioning it.

C3: a tag main event of some consequence

Puebla: on? not on?

ACM: CMLL’s turn, though I’m just guessing at what match.

PdM: on? not on?

IWRG: Electro vs Lider vs Silver + Oficials vs end of the roster AAA tecnicos.

———-

CMLL-TFN: Angel (de Oro) vs Arkangel & No Limit/Okumura vs Averno/Terrible/Texano

10/30-31 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: 187 vs Damian/Halloween/Konnan, Wagner vs Silver, that cage match

Even though they talked about the Atomicos airing next week during this past week’s broadcast, it never did. This is how much they plan it.

52MX: if they don’t air the Coliseo tag final here, I may stalk people yet.

LATV: If they go in order, this is a minis match and a women’s trios. The odds of this show making any sense are low.

GDL: there is a match on this show with Fabian, Metro, Rush, Okumura, Vangelis, and Yoshihashi.

a) understandable one might not air this show
b) Who’s the more entertaining wrestler in that match?

Also Sombra/Mistico/Porky vs Averno/Ephesto/Mephisto

——

CMLL: Trios titles and women’s title, and an atomicos. Pointless trivia: this would be Tiffany’s first TV singles match in five years.

AAA-MEX: Perros vs Ciber/Mesias/Octagon + Chessman/Hernandez/Zorro vs Cuervo/Ozz/Parka.

CMLL-FOX: Cibernetico? Guerreros/Negro vs Mascara/Mistico/Shocker?

C3: Guerreros vs Invasors/Taichi

ACM: DTU? DTU. I sure hope so, so they can complete a four week MMA, CMLL, AAA, and DTU vs NGX cycle. It’s something that may never be repeated, for good reason.

Perros: I have no idea what’s going on here.

Puebla: I have no idea what’s going on here. Canceled? Actually, TVC Deportes lists “CMLL” in the IWRG timeslot. I dunno.

IWRG: Trauma I vs Ultimo Gladiador & Electro/Silver vs Crazy/Lider. If you’re in Mexico and have a good cable system, one can actually watch 3 new & different Crazy Boy matches on Sunday. You decide if that’s a trick or treat.

——-

CMLL-TFN: Guerreros/Negro vs Porky/Sombra/Shocker + No Limit/Yujiro vs Texano/Terrible/Mephisto.

10/23-25 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: first part of Heroes Inmortales; mixed tag (good Alex show), Copa Antonio Pena (up and down) and Mesias/Perro (can’t remember if I watched the whole thing.)

52MX: Arena Coliseo Tag Team Finals.

LATV: a new episode? NAH.

GDL: La Sombra vs Mr. Aguila, which got good reviews from Fuego en el Ring (who may be slightly biased.) If Sombra has a better match with Mr. Aguila than Volador had with La Mascara, does that make Sombra really really good?

———–

CMLL: Invasors vs Trios champs rematch, plus Invasors/Marcela vs Women’s Champs rematch.

AAA-MEX: taping from this past Monday, with Mesias/Parka/Octagon vs Hernandez/Park/Zorro.

CMLL-FOX: Blanca vs Luna, CMLL Trios

C3: Top 4 from last night, plus Guerrero vs Garza/Aguila/Taichi

Puebla: Ultimo Guerrero vs La Mascara

ACM: ????. Wonder if the DTU show will eventually air here?

PDM: ????

IWRG: Seems to have changed back to Thursday shows, which would be a better call this week. Relevos AAA, more of the Trauma I vs Ultimo Gladiador feud and Cerebro Terribles vs Fireman

————

CMLL-TFN: Valiente vs Dragon Rojo in a title match – no spoilers. Maybe they’ll show that five times too.
