TripleMania. Sucks.
Are the TripleMania 9 matches any good? Otherwise, I’ll just blow thru the show tommorow with times only.

Metal had taped ribs. Rey uses the ropes for the final pin.
According to KrisZ, both Electroshock (jump to CMLL) and Intocable (spinal injury) have returned to action in AAA. I’d assume this means Lady Apache should turn back up there as well. The CMLL crowd (and likely, some of the office) turned on Elektro pretty quick, he and didn’t appear to be getting high profile indy bookings, so this was just a matter of time. Intocable’s outlook was upgraded a few days after he was initially told never to wrestle again, but this is still an awful quick recovery.
Puroresu Fan says CMLL is in negotiations with NJPW to bring in Brock Lesnar. That’d be interesting. I have no idea who you’d choose to face him (too bad Porky’s gone) or how to work it at all, but I’d like to see them try.
On Saturday, Arkangel did an interview in Ovaciones, a little bit bemoaning his lack of publicity. Good reason to do an interview. He challenge Mistico to a title match, hoping to take a little air out of his balloon and pointing out he’s defended the title against the same guy most of the time. Ark’s 17 year old son was with him; he’s proud of his father’s wrestling but doesn’t plan on going into it.
Mascara Sagrada is supposed to have a press conference today to talk about his ownership of that name.
Another Texano tribute show will take place on 11/17 in Arena Coliseo. As mentioned last week, he’s back in the hospital – the articles seem to indicate it’s because of a relapse, and not the get the additional surgery he had mentioned.
El Hijo del Diablo will be facing El Hijo del Santo for masks in Tijuana, date to be announced. Devil versus Saint, seems fair enough.
Veneno, Bestia Salvaje, and Masada will be in the 11/03 IWRG 10 Man loser loses mask/hair match. Two more people will put their hair up, and five will put up their masks.

10/23 Congress Show
Given I missed two matches trying to find parking and most of another waiting in line for popcorn (at that point, the only thing I’d eaten that day was peanut M&Ms, so it was a necessary sacrifice), the lucha show last night at Congress was really fun. The SWAT/Mascarita vs Mini Charly Manson/Guerrerito del Futuro was okay, but really the LA Park/Tinieblas vs Dr. Wagner/Elektro match was awesome and totally worth the ticket alone. Heck, ChicagoPD could’ve given me a ticket for illegally parking in a permit area and it would’ve been worth that ticket too. Awesome. Park and Wagner stole the show (really, they could’ve put in any two other guys instead of their AAA partners; the ref was a bigger highlight than them); Wagner was the rudo so the crowd did boo him, and it worked out great that way.
I’ll skip the full show report and leave that to, you know, someone who actually saw the whole show. Unless they were doing some sort of guerilla film making and hiding the cameras, I don’t believe this show was taped. Too bad.
I think I settled on a 1750 attendance. That’s pretty good for a show with a minimal amount of posters, maybe a show on a low power (and not on cable) TV show, mostly getting the word out mouth to mouth (maybe they did Spanish language radio ads? They’ve done them in the past but there were no signs for a station at the show.) It could’ve been higher than that, but I feel pretty safe
I think I’m Mistico and Santo away from seeing everyone currently in Mexican lucha I really really want to see. What’s the list? Rey, Ultimo, Wagner, Park, Shocker, Porky, Felino, Virus, both Misteriosos, Nicho – plus more guys I didn’t mind seeing like Demon, Pierroth, Hijo de Pierroth, Super Parka, Rey Mysterio Sr., Mil Mascaras and Universo. I keep thinking I’ve seen Negro but I can’t remember when – maybe I need to see him again to be sure.
Next show was announced as 11/27, with Halloween, Damian, Blue Demon, Mascara Sagrada, Villano III, and Super Porky. My schedule for the couple weeks around that date is up in the air, but I hope I get to go.
