I just got to watch Triplemania with the guys from New Legacy doing a bonus commentary track for it.
I can't fully explain how much I was laughing when Team GFW showed up in separate entrances, Moose came out to Drago's theme, Jarrett started being super racist, and then Moose and Lashley started fighting, all for seemingly no reason.
Like, I think I nearly passed out. I haven't laughed that hard at wrestling since the time I channel surfed and happened upon Big Show writhing on the ground going "AAAARGH! BAAAARGH!" while Kane yelled "SHOW! SHOOOOOW!!!", changed the channel, came back five minutes later and it was STILL going on.

Good lord, from Meltz
According to a source with knowledge of all the numbers of the show, Wagner received 4.5 million pesos for agreeing to lose his mask, which is $255,443.79 U.S., considered a fortune in Mexico and by far the largest payoff in the history of Lucha Libre.
Psycho Clown, on the other hand, earned $4,541.22, and notably, had agreed to a figure of 500,000 pesos ($28,382.64) if they wanted him to drop his mask. Because they could have gotten a clean finish for less money, some insiders have second-guessed the decision, particularly with the crowd so pro-Wagner the night of the show. But the feeling is Psycho is the company’s hottest singles star and losing the mask at this stage of his career would hurt him, because there isn’t a lot of value to an unmasked wrestler with the name Psycho Clown. Wagner is at the end of his career, and AAA got an incredible amount of publicity, because of the legend of the Wagner name, far more than if Psycho would have lost.
That meant the main eventers got 41.6 percent of the gate, which is an usually higher figure, although it’s really Wagner who got the payoff that inflates that percentage.

Wagner hasn't shown up in Lucha Underground since the mid-season break, and was one of the bigger omissions from the Cueto Cup. Could this be the reason why?

Its been over a year since LU taped, Psycho vs Wagner hadn't even been thought of yet. Slight spoilers but he does show up in the last episodes of S3

Princesa Sugehit just lost her mask to Zeuxis at the CMLL 84th Anniversary Show. I'm completely in the dark for the Lucha scene, is this a sign that she is signed by WWE?

I just don't know, but it's possible. She is very close friends with NXT coach Sarah Stock, so she has that going for her. Still, I wouldn't have thought she'd be one of the women signed from the MYC.

I think I read that she announced her retirement. But it was in Spanish, and my Spanish is pretty rusty.

Due to the earthquake this past week all CMLL shows have been postponed. They are taking donations and supplies and wrestlers are taking photos with those who do. New Japan is also taking donations for it for the Red Cross

FWIW, AAA's streaming tonight's TV taping over Twitch, same channel as Triplemania, ( www.twitch.tv/luchalibreaaa_en ), starting in around an hour from now. Proceeds are going to charity for the Mexico City earthquake. It's apparently going to be Vampiro and Borash doing English commentary, which should be slightly less excruciating than the last time around.
