Add Safari to the list of guys who’ve jumped from CMLL to AAA. CMLL confirmed Zumbido’s exit, and is going with the “this is great because it’ll give more opportunities for others – and people are banging down the doors for those chances” line.
Vampiro, Konnan and the Ugly Americans have been announced for the AAA 07/29 Verano de Escandalo show.
Ovaciones also notes the WWA/Fox Sports World Espanol show that starts airing tonight (Fridays at 11 PM EST, Sundays at 6 PM EST), though they don’t seem to have any more info about it than what’s been reported elsewhere.
Luchas 2000, the magazine with ads highly visibly in Arena Mexico, but usually skipped for me on the web (little updated content, imbedded music), dedicated it’s last issue to Rey Mysterio Jr.. and his career. This plays into a luchainsider rumor that Rey was going to work shows for CMLL and AAA in May but wasn’t allowed by WWE and now he’s trying to work out a deal to do a Luchas 2000 promoted show. I find the whole story highly unlikely; Rey might have talked about doing such things, but it wouldn’t be like WWE to consider it.

MUST… HAVE… REY… ISSUE… YESTERDAY.
I don’t buy Safari jumping to AAA just yet. And I fail to see how Antifaz and Zumbido can be qualified as jumpers. When’s the last time Antifaz worked at Arena Coliseo/Mexico? Zumbido has been MIA(at least in important matches) for a few months now. Pequeno Olimpico jumping would mean more.

Definetly agree on Antifaz. He’s no more a jumper than Diabolica.
