Monterrey stuff actually makes tape too. If the match actually happens as advertised which is never a guarantee with lucha and especially those guys.

The new Observer had an interesting note related to AAA talent signed to LU deals.quote:There was a big issue this past week related to Pentagon Jr. and Fenix at the San Diego Comic Con. The story, according to SoCal Uncensored, started when FCW, a Southern California promotion, booked Pentagon Jr. for a 4/30 show and had been promoting him for two months. Then AAA started advertising him on a show that day in Mexico, and on 4/21, AAA called the promotion to tell them Pentagon Jr. wouldn't be coming because they didn't book him through proper channels. A lot of the Luchadors book their own U.S. dates or use guys who have connection and know the various North American indies to get themselves booked. Because of the strength of the dollar, almost everyone in Mexico looks to get as many weekends in the U.S. as they can. FCW then went through AAA to get Pentagon Jr. & Fenix on 7/22 and asked if they could have them fly in at 7/21 to do local publicity, and in particular, an autograph signing. The idea was to get them to sign autographs on 7/22 at the San Diego Comic Con to help promote the show at the Masked Republic and Headlocked booth. The problem was that Entertainment Earth had gone through Lucha Underground to get the two to sign at their booth on 7/21. Masked Republic was then warned of legal action by Lucha Underground for using any of their trademarks or selling any merchandise that could be confused in the marketplace with Lucha Underground merchandise. Masked Republic than in online marketing blocked out any reference to Lucha Underground names and said no wrestler could sell any merchandise that could be misconstrued as being Lucha Underground merchandise. When Pentagon Jr. & Fenix did the signing on 7/21, they were told they could not sign on 7/22. Gus Parsons, the FCW promoter, was never told this by anyone until Kevin Kleinrock of Masked Republic told him. Gus Parsons, the FCW promoter, wrote to AAA saying that Fenix and Pentagon were working for him that day and they had agreed to allow them to sign. AAA wrote back to him that there was an issue going on between Masked Republic and Lucha Underground and that AAA needs to "obey Lucha Underground's wishes." The wrestlers were allowed, and did work on the show that night, but FCW said a big part of their promotional strategy was the ability to promote the show that afternoon at Comic Con. Interestingly, other Lucha Underground performers were allowed to sign at the Masked Republic booth, including Melissa Santos and Johnny Mundo, who Masked Republic advertised as John Hennigan or John Morrison to avoid the ire of using his Lucha Underground name. Kleinrock said it was another example of Lucha Underground and AAA treating AAA talent like they were second class citizens.

MassRafTer posted:The new Observer had an interesting note related to AAA talent signed to LU deals. Yikes. Why would LU do that to their stars? When did their management get this bad? Also, in LA Park and Rush news quote:Leo Riano’s column in Record says LA Park & Rush were suspended for three weeks following their performance in their super libre match on the Elite show. It wasn’t for the violence, but specifically for the blood since a sponsor frowns on that. (Edgar’s freakout did happen after it was clear Rush was bleeding.) Riano notes the suspension is dumb and I agree. Rush did appear on the Leyenda de Plata show two weeks ago, so CMLL suspensions must be odd. A three week suspension would mean they’d both be free to appear starting with next week’s Elite show.

Would that mean they're not actually doing the Monterrey rematch this weekend or just that they can't wrestle in Mexico City?

Yeah, CMLL's Anniverary is not being streamed live in most of the world although you can purchase it for on demand the next morning. Card doesn't look as impressive as the last few years but several of the matches should be worth catching. There's a good chance NJPW World will be streaming it if you can find a Japanese proxy.

Observer posted:CMLL is clearly aware that this year’s anniversary show with Dragon Lee vs. La Mascara on top doesn’t have the drawing power as the past three years. Ringside tickets in 2013 were $164, and the past two years were $204 but this year they are cut to $109

Why isnt the Main Event Atlantis vs La Mascara Mask v Mask? Also is Rush suspended for this event?

Plus it wouldn't shock me if Mascara wins this one which would be bad enough but he obviously isn't gonna be the one to finally take Atlantis's mask.

The Triplemania card looks pretty awesome. That said, the spacing between names on that poster is weird in places, and after rereading the card I'm sad that there is no wrestler (or actual serpent) called 'Australian Suicide Mamba'. Also, didn't Hernandez burn his bridges with AAA, or was that solely with Lucha Underground.

Yeah, Hernandez went to TNA to shoot some angles, but I guess nobody told him he couldn't do that while still appearing on LU TV and LU"s lawyers were like "lol no."

Shave Seltzer tweeted a link to what I assume was CMLL's regular tv show and I wondered why those two dudes were tearing at each other's mask. I guess that makes sense if they have that match on the anniversary show, because I was confused thinking that tearing at the other dude's mask was poor play. Thankfully the oompa loompa dressed mini had a spare mask while the chicken headed mini looked on nonplussed.
