Lineups!

As always - via www.thecubsfan.com/cmll

CMLL (MON) 04/26 Arena Puebla
1) Tigre Rojo & Tigre Rojo Jr. vs Siki Ozama Jr. & Toro Bill Jr.

- I'm always in favor of seeing new blood so this should be fun and hopefully makes TV. Two excellent rudos to carry the rookie.

2) Metálico, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera vs Artillero, Mortiz, Súper Comando

- I guess this is where we find out what Mortiz is like when he can't use his Spanish Fly to the floor. Surely none of those tecnicos are taking it, let alone @ Arena Puebla in a match that may not make TV. This isn't Tijuana.

3) Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Nitro

- Standard match. Trivia note: Nitro is the actual leader of the Rebeldes Tuereg, not Arkangel or Hooligan. Said so himself in an interview for TVC.

4) Blue Panther, Strong Man, Toscano vs Atlantis, Terrible, Último Guerrero

- Really hope this gets edited off TV but I fear it's setting up a future match so...

5) Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, La Sombra vs Gran Alebrije, Histeria II, Psicosis II

- This will be... AWESOME! I cannot wait to hopefully see this on TV. The ex-AAA guys will prove they can hang with the CMLL dudes. I guarantee it.

CMLL (TUE) 04/27 Arena Mexico
1) Horus & Metatrón vs Camorra & Disturbio

- And Horus is back where he belongs. I approve!

2) Diamante, Pegasso, Rey Cometa vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo

- FINALLY! NEW FUERZA AEREA! They teased this team a few months back but Rey Cometa got hurt and had to be replaced. But now... FINALLY! This will be fantastic. I refuse to even think otherwise.

3) Rush, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Virus

- One of these does not belong! But to be fair he'll only get better working with these rudos so might as well book matches like this where his partners will carry the bulk of the match and he can just come in for his trademark moves.

4) Blue Panther, La Sombra, Strong Man vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

- Probably gonna be by the numbers. Maybe the ex-AAA guys run-in here? They haven't attacked on Tuesday yet. Atlantis/Buca/Guerrero vs Monster/Maniaco/Psicosis next week? BOOK IT!

5) La Máscara vs Mephisto [NWA WELTER]

- Should be a decent match. With the Universal Title tournament coming up I'd expect to see a few title changes in the next little while as CMLL sorts out who they want involved and try to make it look different than it was last year.

IWRG (THU) 04/29 Arena Naucalpan
1) Dinamic Black vs Keshin Black

- Dynamic Black looked great in BTJr's latest upload so this should be fun.

2) Guizmo & Miss Gaviota vs Alan Extreme & Eterno

- OH NO. SHE'S BACK! BACK TO RUIN MY UNDERCARDS O'FUN!

3) Black Terry & Cerebro Negro vs Trauma I & Trauma II

- And the IWRG forum passes out in excitement. BTJr hinted at an upcoming IWRG school vs Navarro school feud so maybe this is where the seeds get planted.

4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro vs Bombero Infernal, Maldito Jr., Samot

- Oh yes - this will be quite fun!

5) Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Máscara Año 2000, Máscara Año 2000 Jr. vs Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco [EdM Trios, final]

- I just want Gringo Loco or Avisman to get the winning pin on MA2K. That would be tremendous. Team MA2K is clearly winning the belts though.

CMLL (FRI) 04/30 Arena Mexico
1) Leono & Starman vs Bronco & Inquisidor

- I swear Starman and Bronco started the whole mess of mask match challenges on Sunday and now it looks like they won't even be included!

2) Fuego & Metro vs Euforia & Raziel

- Clearly this is ending in a DQ with all four agreeing to be in the cage mask match o'doom. All four should be safe in the actual match though.

3) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Luna Magica vs Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Blanca

- Oh joy, Luna Magica is back to ruin matches. Sad thing is she will be a step up for this division compared to the awful rookies they have ruining matches currently. Shimoda is also back and that's no surprise since Mexico vs Japan starts up again next week.

4) Bracito de Oro vs Pequeño Warrior [mask]

- I don't see what all the controversy is. The result here seems pretty obvious if you look at the facts:

1. Bracito De Oro is old.
2. This is the biggest match Bracito De Oro will ever get.
3. Bracito De Oro has won all the matches leading up to this Friday.
4. CMLL is not going to unmask a guy who just lost his mask 5 years ago.

Pequeno Warrior is clearly winning the match and Bracito's mask.

5) Delta & Volador Jr. vs Héctor Garza & Pólvora [Gran Alternativa, final]

- I really think Delta is coming out the winner here but stranger things have happened. Polvora will always have the benefit of winning the bodybuilding contest which is Paco's pet project so his minions would want to please him by booking Polvora to win. Garza doesn't need the win though while Volador Jr. could clearly use this to show he is a top tecnico like Mistico. I'm gonna stick with my pick of Volador Jr./Delta and hope this ends up airing somewhat full on TV.

6) Strongman, Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Místico vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Ultimo Guerrero, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi

- Fantastic! CMLL finally busts out the atomicos gimmick for their regular sized guys and stick a bunch of crap in the match! I think the last second change in match + position on the card indicates the tecnicos will win and the rudos will break-up after losing in two straight falls. This should set up something along the lines of Dragon Rojo, Guerrero and Bucanero vs Tanihashi, Taichi and Okumura next week as Mexico vs Japan takes over Friday nights in May.

AAA TV (FRI) 04/30 Gimnasio Jose Maria Arteaga, Queretaro, Queretaro
1) Atomic Boy, Fabi Apache, Octagoncito vs Mini Abismo Negro, Rain, Tigre Cota

- Yes please! Atomic Boy looked fantastic on TV the other week and I can only imagine how great he'll look here working with those two rudos. This is a nice mix-and-match.

2) Aerostar & Relampago vs Billy Boy & Decnnis

- Well since the taping is being split to air over two weeks this will surely make TV and hopefully be given some time. The rudo team is amazing and I'm still not sold on Relampago but he has improved steadily in all his appearences so I'm not down on him. He needs a different look though. Looking forward to see what these guys do together.

3) Extreme Tiger, Jack Evans, Rocky Romero vs Alex Koslov, Christopher Daniels, Joe Lider

- I'm pretty sure much like Solar/Navarro, Romero and Koslov would be more than happy to spend the rest of their careers working opposite each other. Everyone has a natural opponent here so this will probably be good and end up more like three singles matches rather than a trios match. Still not totally in favor of randomly using Daniels instead of sticking with the regular talent.

4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Chessman, Hernandez, Kenzo Suzuki

- God at this point I just want the Clowns to lose to SOMEONE! They've actually gone past the point to where a loss would mean anything so if they're waiting for the big match to get the big pop for the big win... it ain't gonna happen. Might as well have Hernandez just kill them all here. Although it would please me if Konnan ended their winning streak since that's what I originally predicted would happen.

5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Octagón, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Electroshock, Silver King, Último Gladiador

- How's this for an interesting debate: Who's the best worker on the tecnico side? I'd take Octagon with Wagner third.

6) Cibernético, Heavy Metal, La Parka Jr. vs ?, LA Park, Zorro

- Vampiro? Meh. I could care less about anything here although a Metal vs Zorro singles match down the line would be... interesting.

CMLL (SUN) 05/02 Arena Mexico
1) Bengala, Metálico, Trueno vs Camorra, Cholo, Zayco

- Cesar will be very happy since he hates the rudo team.:)

2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Diamante, Fabián el Gitano vs Dr. X, Puma King, Tiger Kid

- Oooohhhhh I like this! Fabian and Dr. X will continue their feud and leave the other four to go wild and do all their fun spots! Looking forward to his! (hopefully it's as good as this past weekend's segunda that aired on 52MX)

3) Blue Panther, Metro, Sagrado vs Euforia, Vangelis, Virus

- Blue Panther working lower on an Arena Mexico card than Histeria, Psicosis and Alebrije. WOW. Makes sense though so I'm not complaining.

4) Brazo de Plata, La Sombra, Toscano vs El Alebrije, Histeria, Psicosis

- Probably won't be nearly as good as the Puebla match b/c of... well... obvious reasons. It'll be interesting to see who goes over. Guessing the indy guys cheat to beat Sombra.

5) Mistico vs Volador Jr.

- WOO-HOO! Might actually get to see a somewhat full match with these guys since it won't be Televisa slaughtering the editing.

IWRG (SUN) 05/02 Arena Naucalpan
1) Héros vs Imperial

- Want this on youtube! I'll see it one way or the other anyways.

2) Dinamic Black & Tonatiuh vs Alan Extreme & Comando Negro

- Tonatiwho??? I want to see this just to see what kind of wacky outfit he'll have and to see if we can figure out which rookie he was in the IWRG vs Queretaro Torneo from a few months back.

3) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro vs Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco

- Ugh, they had to put this in the dead spot for TV! Curse you IWRG!

4) Black Terry, Chico Che, Jack vs Cerebro Negro, Maldito Jr., Samot

- Confusing booking. I guess we're all turning on Cerebro Negro again? Maybe Black Terry helps him out to set up a tag vs Maldito and Samot next week?

5) el Ángel, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Scorpio Jr. vs Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Universo 2000, Veneno

- YUCK!
