Lucha Talk is back, talking the biggest show of the year in AAA! A bunch of foreigners get belts, interference in nearly every match, the revelation of the "Eye", a man escapes a cage via balloons and double Psicosis! Triplemania México City! At the end we also talk a little bit about CMLL with the Gran Prix lineups and the two match announcements for Aniversario 91. Weird times in Lucha.

THE TRIO IS BACK! Lucha Talk returns after an extended hiatus with a feel good show with loose outline going over some recent and semi-recent comings and goings in both CMLL like the Rocky Romero & Volador Jr. feud & AAA like with AAA's many TripleManias and the big one coming up with Kenny Omega vs. Hijo del Vikingo. Then we talk about the big spots Luchadores have gotten internationally lately and how they're used. Examples being Komander, Rush & the LWO & even Stephanie Vaquer getting the biggest match of her career vs. Mercedes Moné (AKA Sasha Banks). The format isn't steady but there's a lot of fun talk and match recs too littered throughout. We'll be back at least every month going forward so please join us in talking Lucha Libre! We missed this crazy show!

This week on Lucha Talk the Trio are breaking out their thinking caps, discussing a concept talked about by Lucha fans for over 25 years since AAA's formation, AAA vs CMLL. Dylan, Alfredo, & Raul give their take on realistic cross-promotional matches they would want to see, the behind the scenes dealings that have prevented the companies from working together to this point, as well as the chances of this dream promotional war becoming a reality. Before that we recall the past week in Lucha including a well above average AAA TV show and a CMLL Legends show that was pretty good until a truly awful main event occurred. In addition a rare American based opening as we talk about Andrade "Cien" Almas and his big NXT Title win.

Lucha Talk this week comes at you with the big news right away, Lucha Underground is back! We go over the crazy ride we've been through to get to this point, what could be different next season, who might be different next season, and if we can expect another questionable situation next year. From there we go over many "ok" matches this week through both shows between AAA & CMLL, and more stuff going down including the return of ELITE!?

Next week we'll be having a special episode booking dream hypothetical AAA vs CMLL cards, and we want your input and dream matches in a battle between México's top companies!
