10/23 Congress Show

thecubsfan 1 Comment

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.

They went backwards, to an episode I didn’t know actually aired.

TripleMania 8
05/26/01 Pirata Morgan LOST Cobarde & Sangre Chicana [3, chain, hair] – TripleMania 8
05/26/01 Latin Lover b Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Heavy Metal – TripleMania 8
05/04/05 Pegasso & Chivas Rayadas I & II b Los Diabolics
05/04/05 Angel, Zorro, Intocable b Hator, Histeria, Juvi
Konnan offers a spot in the LLL to any man who can beat him. They can’t.
Pena comes out to yell at them, and to reveal a Shocker shirt. Shocker debuts. Shocker talks. No one fights.
05/04/05 La Parka, Electro Shock, Vampiro DQ Konnan, Cibernetico, Charly Manson
Shocker runs in, teases turning on Vampiro, and attacks the LLL before he and Vampiro have a standoff. The rest of AAA seems okay with him. Everyone ends either joining the LLL outside or AAA inside the ring, but it’s just more talk. LLL leaves. Pena talks. They tease the Shocker/Vampiro handshake forever. Shocker wants to, Vampiro’s not so high on the idea. Meanwhile, LLL destroys part of the scenery. Lots of talking. Finally ah handshake hug, and then they go run after LLL.

though still not as fun as the Guapos ones

while I’m surfing WWE.com, there was something else which caught my eye.

They’ve got a story about some guy from Germany who they’re giving a tryout to next time thru the UK, and maybe a development contract if he does well, based on an online application. That idea surely has no flaws. Anyway,

The response to the United Kingdom tryouts was so overwhelming that WWE has chosen to start accepting applications from fans in the United States. Some of the cities WWE plans on holding tryouts in include Pittsburgh, Daytona Beach, Mexico City and Buffalo, among others.

Besides learning the US has annexed Mexico City, the great thing here is just picturing how this is going to work. Most everyone is going to be doing things the lucha way, and the few who aren’t are going to be trying to do it a ROH or a High Spot Rific way. These tryouts have absolutely no chance of working out well, and I’d pay money to see it.

Super Porky on SD!

That was something. He was still funny eating ham. But I don’t know if it’ll last as long as, say, the bWo. Hope he didn’t burn bridges.

If the segment didn’t give you the impression the whole concept was stupid to be entirely the idea of the idiot network guy, perhaps noticing WWE.com has changed the news story about the formation of the division will do it. It’s now Palmer Canon (one n; did they just change it, or is no one who’s supposed to be paying attention to these things actually doing it?) who gets off the memorable “Midgets, dwarves, the little people; they’re all welcome.” line.

Who’s Better: Abismo Negro or Tarzan Boy

I can’t explain why my thoughts turned this direction, but I was wondering what y’all thought: Who’s better, Tarzan Boy or Abismo Negro? Leave a comment.

(My thoughts after the link.)
