Lucha Times

Saturday: Split feed; West Coast gets it four hours late. Heavy Metal vs Halloween main events, still in the middle of the Perro/Casas stuff. The opening Colise trio doesn’t look bad.

Sunday: Rerun of Mistico/Ultimo. Though it’s not accurately listed on the site, it looks like the pregame for the U17 championship starts 5 miutes befor the hour for the West Coast feed – so if you miss the finish of the match, don’t look at me.

I so need to catch up on watching stuff.

09/29 news

The 10/20 Santo anniversary show is a Lucha 2000 promotion. People Santo’s beat for their masks who are on the card: Scorpio Jr., Cuchillo, Hijo del Cobarde, Kato Kung Lee, Super Parka, Dr. Cerbero, Hijo del Espanto and Silver King (!). Like the last Lucha 2000 show, they’ll allow them to wear the masks for the night.

Ovaciones has the greatest filler preview of a show ever. They know La Guerra de Titanes is happening, but they talk about how they don’t know what date it’ll happen, where it’ll happen, if it’ll be the last AAA show of the year, or what will main event it. And that’s the whole article.

Halcon #29 is up. Inside:
– interview with Olimpico. He says he wrestled as Popcatl el Inmortal for his first year of wrestling, and has been Olimpico for the last 12. He felt he was going nowhere as a tecnico, so he turned. In his view, his injury happened because he didn’t grab the top rope on his way over, causing him to lose control of his dive. But that’s part of the job, which has taken him places he’d never thought he’d go. He was pretty happy with how fast he returned. His current goal is to beat up on the Casas family.
– Arena Mexico recap.
– Interview with Tigre Blanco. He’s been wrestling for ten years, and hopes he and Metalico get a title shot soon.
– LLF recap.
– Talk about the results of a Mano Negra, Rambo, Cuchillo vs Matematico, Villano II, Super Astro match from 09/18.
