Mistico was about to win it, but Atlantis faked a foul and got away with it. Mistico wants a singles match, of course. Ovaciones was high on La Mascara and Virus. On Box y Lucha’s forums, there’s a detailed recap; they dug the first three matches over the matches we might actually see.

Octagon does a chat with Box Y Lucha tommorow at 2pm, which usually means 3pm CST. As usual, I have no questions to ask him.
La Gaceta, an Argentina newspaper, has a couple of stories about the old Titanes en el Ring show. They link to a Lucha Libre Argentina website, which looks nice, but also as if it hasn’t been updated since 2004.
There’s a column on DiariodelIstmo.com on critizing the local Box y Lucha Libre comission for the lack of support for shows in Minatitlan, Veracruz. According the author, despite running (or comission-ing) less than 10 shows in 2005, they found a way for the local government to give them money for a brand new building.
The Jack Black/Nacho Libre story from this weekend’s been reprinted and exceperted in other papers the last couple of days. That’s how newspapers work.
This week’s lineups are below. I’ve almost got the This Week/Today links working (you can see them in the events section, which I only now realize isn’t really linked anywhere good), but they don’t self-generate yet. Should be good tommorow.
