11/29 news

The photos from Friday also illustrate how Santo and Negro revealed Averno was under Mistico’s mask: They pulled off his track pants to reveal his Averno tights underneath. Good thing he was still wearing them.

There’s a Lucha Libre primer article in Arizona Daily Star, as a supplement to the “Masks of Mexico” exhibit at Arizona State Museum. The exhibit is open till 11/06/2006 and has a large display of lucha libre masks.

Notice the article mentions Nacho Libre again; I think that’s going to be a reoccuring theme for the eight months. (It’s due out in the US 06/02/06.) Like all movies featuring things some people care intensely about and most people know nothing about, it’s going to shape the mainstream perception of lucha libre. So, you know, please try not to suck, okay? Okay.

Three articles in Ovaciones, nothing you don’t know.
– Aficion preview doesn’t mention any of the Chikara guys.
– Interview with Halloween, re: Friday’s hair match, revenge for Damian. Tickets go from 60 pesos all the way to 250 for the expensive seats. (That’s $5.66 to $23.60.)
– Notes: IWRG, AAA previews. Arena Neza is running Thursday and Sunday, including Christmas and New Year’s Day. CMLL will run Friday shows at Coliseo during the off season, like they always do.

Box Y Lucha is up, but not updated. It seems like they’re going every other week on purpose now, though I’m sure the magazine is still being done weekly – they just aren’t so concerned about the website.
