Hey, remember me? Probably not.
The Observer Awards are out and lucha…well, barely made any appearances. CMLL did finish fith for promotion of the year, only 75 votes behind the WWE (and actually having thirteen more first place votes). CMLL on Galavision was fourth for best weekly television shows. The GdI did finish fourth in tag team of the year with 1300 votes, and did have the second highest amount of first place votes.
But besides that, nothing. Not one of the Shocker/Ultimo Guerrero matches even received an honorable mention. Pierroth didn’t show up on either the Worst Wrestler or Word Feud awards. Top ten high fliers included Juventud and Ricky Marvin, but that was likely more for their work in the States and Japan.
If you want to draw a conclusion, I less people are watching lucha. I guess that includes me, too.
In other news, AAA will be sending El Zorro, Psicosis (AAA version), Heavy Metal and Abismo Negro to TNA for the America X-Cop on 1/28. It’ll be a one night tournament with a Mexico vs. the States theme. Seriously, though, Abismo Negro?
Back to CMLL, on 1/16 Atlantis kept the Tohoku Jr. Heavyweight Title by beating Tarzan Boy, and La Parka and Shocker challenged the GdI for a shot at the tag belts, which looks to take place on 1/23. Boo-yah.
I’ll be back, hopefully sooner than I was last time.
