– WWE Armagedon recap
– Interview with Hooligan. Mark your calendars: Hooligan says said he’s wrestled for 16 years (under 4 names), and plans on wrestling 20 years more. You have till 2026 to see him! He’s a rudo because he thought Pirata Morgan and Jerry Estrada were great rudos and he wanted to be like them.
– Q&A with Virus. His pick for his best match is one versus the Havana Brothers – he also got the most money off fighting them (or him; I think he might mean the title match.) Virus is not superstitious, because that would be bad luck.
– Te Das column predicts the event of 2006. He sees Atlantis losing his mask! Better get the crystal ball fixed.
– Interview with Danger. He was trained about LA Park and el Salcedo. He doesn’t really say much here.
– Poster is Terrible and his t-shirt.
– Quick bios of Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II. Rayo I’s finisher is “suplex”

And I know exactly what move he means by ‘suplex’.:)
~HOOLIGAN! must have been in heaven when he was teaming with Estrada and Morgan in 1998 Promo Azteca. It’s funny b/c I used to think he was awwwwwwwwwwwful and was so glad when Ultimo Guerrero finally ditched him. Now he’s probably my 3rd favorite rudo in Mexico.
Sucks about Lobo Rubio. I’ll never forget getting this old Lucha tape from DVDVR Phil which had Atlantis/Santo vs Rubio/Fuerza from Arena Mexico in 1984. It blew me away and is still one of my favorite matches ever. A match from 1984 where they were doing spots you don’t even see these days! Plus they went about 30 minutes with non-stop action and a hot crowd. I always wanted to see more of Rubio but Jose says all his good stuff was early 80’s and late 70’s. Sadly not much of that footage exists. R.I.P. Lobo.
