Ovaciones talks to fellow wrestlers about Texano today. The injury he suffered was actually early in 2005, and he wrestled despite it for a while, though not at the same level. That match also included Rey Misterio, Super Parka, Satanico and Villano III, and Villano III feels bad about the sequence of events.

El Signo talks about his long friendship with El Texano, going back to 1971, and of course was one of his partners in the Missionaries of Death trio.

Indomito talks about visiting Texano this past Christmas, thinking that he might not have another chance.

Manny Guzman, former leader of the wrestler unions, knew Texano when he was president Comision de Vigilancia from 1990 to 1996 (not sure what that is.) Guzman was out of lucha libre, but came back to help with the Texano’s benefit show. They already had plans to run one more, on March 1st with the AAA wrestlers, and now the money will go to Texano’s family.

Villano III talks about the classic battles he and his brothers had with the Missionaries of Death.

Box Y Lucha’s articles are up.
Juvi reveals the Real Reason He Was Fired: His visa came up for renew, and the Mexican officials, due to stricter security concerns because of terrorism, turned Juvi down. They said he could try again in 3 to 6 months, and the WWE said he’s free to join them whenever he gets it all cleared up; Juvi says he finished on good terms with the company and could get back his spot when he wanted. He was happy with he accomplished in his time there: creating the Mexicools, being champions.

However, Juvi’s realized he likes working in Mexico very much – it’s the silver lining. He’s weighing his options; he’s on good terms with AAA, but maybe he’ll go to Arena Mexico. He’s also going to try and start businesses out of wrestling, now realizing he won’t be wrestling forever.

Juvi assures us that information this is the absolute truth, as he knows it.

– Those still in the WWE give interviews with Box Y Lucha as well.

Super Crazy’s thrilled to be both in the WWE and to be wrestling in front of home fans this week; all his family is coming to the Mexico City show. His dream is to win the Tag Team titles, and I would not be surprised to see that dream come true this week. Crazy thanks all those who trained him

Rey Mysterio Jr. wrestled in Arena Mexico before he went to the WWE because he thought he might not have a chance to again wrestle in Mexico City (and that arena) for a long time. Now, four years later, he’s wrestling again in Mexico City with WWE.

Rey says the people want to see him under a mask, and so that’s what he’s going to do. He’s thinking about opening a Lucha Libre school in the US or Mexico. Lots of people ask Rey about the 619, and he always says he stole it from Super Astro, who’s one of his favorites. His current goal is to win the World Championship.

Nicho/Psicosis is in debt – with God, for all he’s given him. It’s been a long fifteen year trip to get this point. Psicosis talks about Eddie a lot, who he credits as his teacher. His goal is to make the fans happy, and also throws in a shot at Pena? I’m not sure if I understand that part right.

Rafeal Murphy, representative of WWE in Mexico, hypes up the tours. He hypes the show, sidesteps Juvi talk, and does the usual promise of surprises on the show. The promoter, Mauricio Andere, also talks about logistics of putting on such an event.

Other news:
– Damian refutes the story from a weeks ago about him no-showing an event
– Dos Caras Sr. celebrates his 36th year in lucha; that’s why we got the poster.
– Dark Angel and Aurora talk about wrestling in Japan (unnamed promotion). A lot of the usual style talk, Mexico vs Japan.

Dark Angel discusses being a unique mix of the Mexican and Canadian style, which is odd because no one talks about Canada having it’s own style (or at least not in years.) She’d love to face Marcela for the CMLL Women’s Title or Princesa Sujei in a stakes match this year.

Aurora hopes to one day wrestle in Arena Mexico – it’s been her dream forever (or at least since she started wrestling in Mexico in June.) They’re both interested in the WWE, but haven’t received offers and found some stuff women do there degrading.

– Pantera talks about his start in wrestling. He knew of a training gym, but didn’t have any money and his father didn’t want him to wrestle. Pantera disobeyed, sold a watch (or clock) his father gave him, paid his fee, got beat up in training, then went back home and got beat up by his father.
