Four on the Floor

KirsZ reports that Mephisto beat Satanico last night (last night being 2/24) to win the CMLL Welterweight Title. I believe it’s his first title, as either Astro Rey Jr. or Mephisto.

Also from KrisZ:

“Shocker announced today the list of candidates to become the 4th member of Los Nuevos Guapos and they are the following:

Brazo de Oro Jr.
Brazo de Plata Jr.
Espiritu
Fabian el Gitano
Hijo del Texano
Karisma
Koreano
Leono
Lestat

Lobo Vikingo (This guy I gotta see)
Maximo (not one of the SAT (as far as I know))
Misterioso II
Sangre Azteca
(Oh please let him win. But doesn’t having a mask DQ him?)
Alan & Chris Stone
Tigre Metalico

Shocker will be holding a press conference tomorrow to discuss this further.”

Anyone having info on these guys is encouraged to share.

One last note: Ultimo Guerrero, Rey Buccanero, and Super Porky all worked the 2/22 Toryumon X show in Arena Coliseo. Might be worth checking out if a tape surfaces.

Lucha Times, Requests

Lucha Times is up. Vague reason to be worried about inaccuracies (aka reason #21231 why their .com staff doesn’t appear to be on the ball): Galavision’s schedule has Sunday’s date as 3/1, not 2/29.

After reading KrisZ’s lucha news and rereading, I see now that I completely missed on noticing that the title of the “Rey wants a rematch” section indicated that would happen on 3/19. Which leaves Shocker/Vampiro, and I dunno. The recap of last Friday’s show goes for a “Shocker kept missing rudos and hitting Vampiro, Vamp took offense, rudos collected on it.” So who knows where/if it goes anywhere.

Going back to vague for a second, I’m kinda thinking I need to act some sections for the unaccustomed CMLL-type person to better get a grip on what’s going on. The flaws in this idea are
– I never hear from people who are unfamliar to CMLL, so I’m not really sure what they need. Or maybe they’re content with what they have, even.
– But then I don’t hear from anyone. Well, Joe and Homer, but I hold them down by quickly pushing their posts to the bottom of the screen. And Rob. And we’re happy to have you, Rob.

In this vien, I drew up that site FAQ over there. First draft.

The other thing is, I think the being able to connect a face and a name would be a bunch of help if you’re a person who knows only one of those at best. La Arena has done this, but it suffers from being outdated. The problem isn’t clipping head shots:

Rey Bucanero
Ultimo Guerrero
Tarzan Boy

It’s getting shots that aren’t just cropped parts of copyrighted images posted elsewhere on the ‘net. (Rey and Ultimo courtesy CMLL.com, Tarzan courtesy GDI.com). And stealing images off the net and pretending they’re you’re own is not a wise idea.

If anyone realllly wanted to help by finding some free for public use shots of faces and such (or, since it at least wouldn’t be stealing directly from someone else’s photowork, screen cap some good profile shots from TV) and send them my way, I’d love to use ’em.

Is there any chance jtron reads this? Is there any chance that OMLL tape he was talking about before is done and I can see? Curiosity’s sake, at least.
