box

AAA-US: Mixed tag rematch, Vipers make TV, and Wagner vs Maniacos. Listed as two hours at the moent.

52MX: Inquisitive Cats vs Astro/Metalico/Starman, plus will the greatness of Liger outweigh Toscano?

LATV: A minis match with Tzuki, plus a grab bag trios. I have no idea if I’ll get this; LATV went off the air again here on Sunday, and came back again today.

GDL: Delta/Valiente vs Okumura/Yoshihashi plus Lyger/Mistico in a trios main event.

LLUSA: finishing off the Las Vegas tapings. Mentallo vs Tornado Azteca, the last quarter final in the heavyweight tournament, and the Puerto Ricians vs the Old Mexicans

—–

CMLL: 90 minute show. CMLL usually doesn’t air the anniversary show the night after, if at all, so they may save a match from this week to show next. The Peste Negra/Invasors match makes a lot of sense to save for a week. (Also, maybe next week is when they show Dos Leyendas?)

AAA: also 90 minutes. They’ve only got 3 matches, so there’s no problem. Relevos AAA, 187/Jack vs Legion, and Perro/Park/Damian vs Ciber/Mesias/Parka.

FOX: Cancerberos vs Metro/Rush/Stuka + Mascara/Rayo/Mistico vs Atlantis/Niebla/Volador

C3: Demus vs Pierrothito

Puebla: listed for an hour on Sunday, not sure of Monday. Probably 2, including Dragon/Valiente’s titel match.

Monterrey: Zombie Sangre Chicana at work.

Perros: dunno

CMLL-TFN: Loco Max vs Stuka (previously unaired), Poder Mexica vs Dorada, Maximo, Valiente, and Mistico vs Negro Casas

08/14-15 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: Expo show with some guest appearances; CiberClowns vs Legion, Electro/UG vs Wagner/Tiger, an actual minis match.

52MX: Women’s Trios and Avernos vs Invaders.

Worth taking special note here: Unless CMLL & MVS breaks from the pattern of strictly airing the 2/4th matches on the card on the 52MX show, and the 3/5th matches on the FOX show, things are going to be screwed up next week. The entire build to Rush/Loco Max has aired on Fox, but the actual hair match will air on 52MX. Any one paying the slightest bit of attention knows that’s wrong. Hopefully a person who has the power to fix this is alert enough to do so (that may be why we’re talking about it this week.) In the past, they haven’t, which seems to indicate that even the people working on these shows aren’t watching them.

LATV: assuming there’s no big jump again, a women’s trios (better looking one than 52MX; last televised Dark Angel match for the time being) and Oro/Diamante/Rush vs Cancerberos.

GDL: Fuego & Polvora guest star in the Exterminador/Magica vs Stuka/Blanco drama. (That apuesta match is next week.) Main even is a grab bag match of the highest order, though it might be good.

MW: First set from Vegas. Based off the one match they’ve mentioned so far on Twitter, it seems like they’re airing the first three matches: Brewer open challenge, PR Powers vs Magno/Purpura in the tag tournament, and Marco/Octagoncito/Nova vs Neutronic/Halloween/”Medio Noche” (according to the tweet).

CMLL-MEX: this show was cut to 90 minutes late in the week. They’re listed as two hours right now, but let’s just guess the trios tournament and Lyger/Sombra

AAA-MEX: 187 vs Perros, CiberClowns vs Vipers/Legion, Wagner/Metal/Parka vs Electro/Silver/UG

FOX: As mentioned, Rush vs Loco Max in trios, and the big automicos from Sunday

C3: Charly vs Fantams and the first mini cibernetico

Puebla: they’ve slipped a week behind here, so this is just the start of the Manson/Mistico

ACM: pass

Puebla: the only matches left unaired from the May show are The End Of Groon XXX and Diva/Angel/Leo vs Medusa/Pesadilla/Ragde

CMLL-TFN: Azteca/Maya/Starman vs Dr. X/Polvora/Tiger (unaired?), Apache/Hiroka, Maximo/Metro/Valiente vs Euforia/Misterioso/Nosferatu.

08/08-09 Lucha Times

chart

AAA-US: Billy/Tigre vs Aero/Super Fly, Alex/Christian/Jennifer vs Apaches/Pimpi, and Perros vs 187/Wagner. Also, the Park/Parka rematch.

52MX: Fabian/Dr. X continues, plus Villano V returns to team with Pesta Negra vs Fantasma, Mascara and Toscano.

LATV: Oro/Diamante/Rush vs Cancerbros, plus Porkky/Ray/Shocker vs Atlantis/UG/Bernard.

GDL: the Exterminador/Magica vs Stuka/Metal feud gets started, plus a rematch of last week’s tag match.

LLUSA: Magno/Brewer rematch, Oriental/Tinieblas vs Luji/Marco in the tag team tournament, and Dorada/PR Powers vs Neutron/Halloween/the debuting Saber Claw (maybe the guy who was listed as El Matador?)

There’s this weird thing MTV2 is doing on the Lucha Libre USA Twitter: they’re actually hyping the matches which will air on their television show this week. What a crazy concept. (Makes my life easier, too.)

—-

CMLL: Block B of the Universal tourmaent, and Sombra/Mistico/Shocker vs the Invaders.

AAA: Taping from this past week in Toluca, with a new group formed and 187 vs Alex/Damian/Halloween in the main event.

FOX: Rush vs Loco Max, Averno vs Invaders.

C3: Trios title match, Charly/Histeria

Puebla: over? not airing? maybe had their slot taken away for a group starting soon?

ACM: Canek Jr. & Fishamn Jr. vs Ejecutor & Rey Hechicero

Perros: Everyone time I see WarriorX2000 put this show up on YouTube, it’s matches from the same Tijuana taping. At some point, they may show something else, but that’s only a “may”.

—-

CMLL-TFN: Ark/Flash, Poder Mexica vs No Limit/V5, and Atlantis/UG/Niebla vs Hector Garza/Shocker/Toscano

07/31-08/01 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: Lots of pairs matches, Wagner/Parka vs Chessman/Park, 187 vs Hernandez/Zorro, plus Damian/Halloween return to face Jack/Rocky, and Alex/Christian vs Aero/Fabi for the mixed tag titles. Last TV match for the time being for Chessman, and the last match for Rocky – his turn on the next taping was cut from the Mexician airing.

The big news here is the show airs 2 hours earlier (unless you’re on the West Coast feed), which makes life a little easier for people who are also recording 52MX and Teleformula at the same time.

52MX: Minis match (Saturno’s annual appearance), plus Manson/Alebrije/Olimpico vs Panther/Dorada/Sagrado

CMLL-LATV: next episode in line is Double Dorada – the mini with Astral/Dragon vs Nitro/Violencia/Warrior, and the bigger one with Stuka & Metro vs Poder Mexica. Odds a new episode airs: 10%

CMLL-TF: Angels/Stuka vs Cancerbero/Okumura/Ysho, plus Maximo/Sagrado vs Garza/Texano. Never really understood how often Maximow as in Guadalajara until I started watching this show.

—-

CMLL: hopefully just the Universal tournament and Mistico/Psicosis, though they squeezed another match in last year.

AAA-MEX: Expo taping, already. CiberClowns vs Legion, Electro/UG vs Wagner/Tiger, minis, people in no condition to perform on the microphones

CMLL-FOX: Tuareg vs Stuka/Fuego/Rush, where the feud set up is NOT for the Arena Coliseo Tag Team championship. Makes no sense to me. Also, Mistico/Shocker/Strong Man vs Averno/Mephisto/Lyger

Doesn’t look like there’s a Sunday replay this week.

C3: The Tuesday results I forgot to post today, including a set up for a trios title match next week.

Puebla: is this airing? I haven’t seen anything about it since it should’ve come back on. Main is Invaders vs Mistico/Mascara/Panther

Perros: see above, except I have no guess.

ACM: Next taping would be Aventurero/Hator/Estrella with title and hair on the line. No idea what’ll air.

—–

CMLL-TFN: I think $tew said he did voice overs for Infierno en el Ring; this would be the week for that, and maybe Super Sky Team vs Atlantis/Niebla/UG

07/23-25 Lucha Times

box

AAA: Zapopan show, with a main event that needs a flow chart to explain all the run ins. The Perros del Mal debut, and there’s the token joshi appearance for the year. Hooray?

52MX: Women’s trios and Maximo/Mistico/Shocker vs Atlantis/Lyger/UG.

LATV: probably a rerun

CMLL-TF: who can say. I’m guessing rerun, actually.

Masked Warriors: almost forgot. Main should be Lizmark/Sadistko vs Charly Malice/Super Nova, which is probably good.

—-

CMLL: Mistico/Psicosis feud makes TV this time around, as does the winner of Infierno en el Ring.

AAA-MEX: Parka/Park, the rematch. Perros vs Wagner/187. Billy/Tiger vs Aero/Super.

CMLL FOX: the Infierno en el Ring cage match.

C3: Mascara/Mascara/Strong Man vs Renegades, plus Fabian unmasked.

Puebla: can’t tell if it’s going to air, TVC Deportes isn’t big on listing it’s shows for Mondays. Anniversary show if it does.

Perros: see above, except I have no idea what’s left.

ACM: on? not on? dunno.

CMLL-TFN: Texano/Shocker & Dragon/Dorada.

07/10-11 Lucha Times

box

AAA-US: watch the last hour for the cruiserweight match and LA Park/La Parka. Viewer discretion advised for the first hour. The Big News: the Saturday night/Sunday morning airing has returned! Anything to have one less program to record on a weekday afternoon.

52MX: Tuareg vs Air Force/Fabian + Ephesto/Texano/Vangelis vs Fantasma/Metro/Toscano

LATV: rerun!

GDL: Maximo vs Ultimo Guerrero in a singles match.

——–

CMLL: figure on the fourth match dropped, because the law requires Mascarita Dorada vs Pierrothito to air at all times. Also, Pesta Negra vs Lyger/Averno/Mephisto and Mascara/Sombra/Volador vs Garza/Aguila/Olimpico.

AAA-MEX: they taped six matches, and they’ve been cutting matches off the five match shows. I’d guess the joshi girls flew to Mexico to have their match not air. Sect vs Stones seems a really obvious cut as well. In a match that will probably air, Parka/Park fight again, this time in trios.

CMLL-FOX: Angels vs Invasors in the only match airing this week that actually builds up the Infierno en el Ring cage match. Also, Pokry, Mistico, Shocker vs Liger, Mephisto, Niebla.

C3: Demus vs Bam Bam, Guerreros vs Fantasma, Dorada, Mistico.

Perros/Puebla: Unclear. Puebla’s definitely not on Sunday – TVCDeportes is dedicating six hours to the World Cup Final, running a one hour show, then reairing the final. There’s no schedule for Monday on their website. Tercera Caida say they’re back on Wednesday so I presume these shows will be as well, but we can revisit later. Not sure which matches are left to air for Los Perros anyway.

ACM: impossible to find out if they’re airing or not, but I’m guessing not because it’s the World Cup Final eve. By the way, it’s not just the Tuesday shows which are MIA here, but there’s no lineup for Sunday’s show either. A bit concerning.

CMLL-TFN: possibly unaired match of the week: Dorada/Maximo/Valietne vs Misterioso/Okumura/Virus. Also, Mascara/Ephesto and Mistico/Shocker/Volador vs Niebla/Negro/UG
