Not much to Ovaciones today. The highlight is them pulling the “talking up the chances of guy who has no chance in the King of the Ring/Royal Rumble” routine with Texano Jr. I mean, since we don’t know the rules or format or other participants, I guess we can’t rule out a “only Texano can win” stipulation, but otherwise I’m not so high on his chances.
Speaking off – Lizmark and Texano in NJPW update
09/04: Lizmark Jr. b Texano Jr. with the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker
09/05: Mashiro Chono & Black Strong Machine [Chono Shining Yakuza Kick Texano] Lizmark Jr. & Texano Jr.
Stuart’s report says Texano has been looking good, which would be a mild shock.
Mistico’s going to try and be back this weekend, but it doesn’t seem to be a sure thing.
They’ve got a full article talking to CMLL’s official doctor on Mascara Ano neck, post tombstone. It’d be awesome if they actually did an MRI on it (provided he didn’t actually need it) instead of just talking about having done one here.
Slam.CA has an interview with Dark Angel on her time in Mexico. Notice how she mentions learning Olympic-style wrestling, still a staple of wrestling training in Mexico. You know, I think I’d make Dark Angel vs Lady Apache the final; I’m just not sure that’s what they’ll do.

Well Luchas 2000 this week supposedly had photos of him laying in a hospital bed with a collar around his neck. They take stuff like this very far in Mexico. When Universo laid out Perro, they had Perro stay in the hospital for a while and showed clips on TV of his family coming to visit him. They even had clips of the x-rays that were taken showing all the damage the tombstone did.
I wonder how something like this works when it comes to pay. With Perro it didn’t matter that he would be out of action b/c he was retiring. MA2K seems like the type of guy who is such a big star that he has money saved up so 2/3 weeks without a payday won’t bother him. But if they were to do this type of angle with someone like… I dunno… Tony Rivera. Would CMLL cover his bookings for the entire time they needed him to be out to sell the injury?
