Also Kemonito is out of CMLL claiming they wouldn't pay him money owed to stay quiet about remasking someone else as Kemonito.

There’s a great free YouTube series about Lucha Libre I recommend watching. I just started the first episode and they show CMLL’s training gym and the Mexico City Lucha Libre licensing exam. Each episode has a different theme and there’s a lot of big stars throughout. It’s all in Spanish but worth a look just to see some of the cool behind the scenes stuff and the shots of CDMX and the surrounding areas.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Current tier is Tuesdays live, Fridays tape delayed.

Middle tier is Tuesdays and Fridays live.

Top tier gets you the big shows too. Kind of pricey.

AAA is bringing in Marty.

quote:

SuperLuchas notes Konnan was asked if AAA would bring in former NXT wrestler Patrick Clark (Velveteen Dream), who’s been on a recent image rehab tour. He was bounced from the WWE system following allegations of an improper relationship with a minor, among other misdeeds. (He was never formally charged for those incidents, though he’s had other brushes with the law.) Konnan said no, AAA wasn’t running the Red Cross and fixing everyone. He was then asked the difference between Clark and Alberto el Patron and Marty Scurll. Konnan said he knows those two guys “personally and professionally” enough to trust them, and they both know they’re gone if anything happens. Konnan allowed that he may give Clark that same allowance if he got to know him, and just doesn’t know him. That bit matches a recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter bit where AAA was said to be bringing in Alberto and another unnamed controversial person to TripleManias this year under a zero-tolerance policy. Most assumed Marty Scurll was that unnamed person, and Konnan confirmed it. I will get screamed at on Twitter during some TripleMania card announcement when AAA mentions him in a match; it’ll be quite a time. He might be one of Alberto’s opponents, which would just multiply it.

For years CMLL streamed 3 shows per week on youtube with basically zero problems. They switched to a few different iPPV solutions and had lots of problems but had it mostly working recently. Last week they switched to a youtube subscription plan with some kind of expensive tiers.

The first show was a not good Tuesday show that kept crashing.

Friday went great.

Tonight is Reyes Del Aire one of CMLL's coolest matches. The stream keeps randomly switching to fast forward. I don't know how that is even possible for a live stream.

AAA going back on their word to the wrestlers to not announce this before hand with Konnan talking to Dave and making AAA look worse in the process is a very AAA thing to do.

quote:

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter says Arez, Latigo and Toxin have quit AAA, in a newsbit that includes comments from Konnan.

I had previously heard Arez, Latigo and Toxin informed AAA of their intention to quit, but were scheduled to have a meeting with AAA early next week to formally leave the promotion. That means AAA will have at least one more chance to convince the trio to stick around, and there’s a slight chance this could be reversed. These wrestlers had been letting friends know for months that they were very unhappy in AAA. They had said multiple times they were leaving the company only to be convinced to stick it out a little longer. I’ve heard about this story, but I had no plans to talk about it until it was officially official for that reason, but here we are. My understanding is these wrestlers are planning to stay independent in Mexico; this is not a jump to CMLL. Their work visas are not tied to AAA, and they are expected to continue working in the US and elsewhere.

When Toxin, Arez, and Latigo told AAA they were leaving now, a source says AAA asked them to wait until after that meeting so they could put out a joint official public statement, framing it as parting on good terms. The wrestlers abided by that deal. Konnan, an AAA official, gave a statement about it to the WON. His belief is the wrestlers quit because “they had hoped Konnan could get them booked on US TV”, but AAA is now only working with TNA and TNA had no interest. Konnan says there was a plan to have them feud with Cibernetico and La Secta at some point, but the AAA plan is to focus on the nostalgia characters as long as they continue to draw. Konnan also cites the difference in the wages – AAA can’t afford to pay wrestlers what they can make in the US. (Or at least I think that’s what is meant; the end of the paragraph appears missing.)

It’s great Konnan’s being cited by name this time around. It’s less great the WON newsbit seems to overly rely on just his version of his events, and not enough product knowledge. Konnan speaks about Los Vipers eventually feuding with Cibernetico & La Secta, but that is a program that is happening on TV right now – it may be part of the episode airing tomorrow. The difference may be in what the word “feuding” means. There are two types of rudos in Konnan’s booking of AAA: the one type of rudos who humiliate tecnicos for months to build to a TripleMania match, where they may finally lose, and the other type of rudos who exist simply to get laid out by the top tecnicos. Los Vipers were clearly category two. Their final two TV appearances, assuming they do leave, are getting laid out by Konnan and Vampiro and getting laid out by Cibernetico and La Secta.

Tonight's CMLL show is an all women's show, which could will be interesting in a lot of ways, but hopefully it draws well and the matches come together OK. The women's division is still very very uneven so some of the matches could be disasters, but the main event should be very good at least. It's easier for CMLL to do this kind of show than most companies because they own the building, but still nice to see them give it a shot.

This post is painful to say, but it needs to be done. A couple weeks back, Psicosis/Psychosis/Nicho el Milionario broke his hip in a match in Mexico. He landed back home and realized something wasn’t right, and went to the hospital and was diagnosed and had immediate emergency surgery, as the hip was not fractured but broken. We (myself and @maskedrepublic and others) are working on ideas for fundraisers, but this is the immediate one for now, to help him with living expenses since he is unable to work for the time being.
