Ovaciones has an update on Meteorix’s arm injury, and none of it’s good – it’s compared to Gronda’s serious knee injury. It sounds like he just landed badly on a (springboard?) dropkick, causing him an elbow injury and multiple fractures. Operation lasted three hours, complicated by adapted the usual internal bracing screws/nails for a man of Meteorix’s size. (The one going in his arm is 270mm long.) If his body adapts to it okay, he goes home on Friday and will spend three to four months just recovering. He’s not expected back in the ring for five months.
Ovaciones also says Takemura will be coming back to Mexico for a two week tour, which should include a Arena Mexico appearance. (Yay!) This isn’t a NJPW deal; he left them earlier this year.
Chessman, Ozz, Cuervo, and Escoria did hold onto the Mex Atomico titles over the Guapos in Oaxaca.
ABC News.com has a big bio on Rey Misterio, leading up to WrestleMania. Not much new stuff. (Thanks to MikeInformer)
La Fiera, who’s been MIA for months, turns up in Monterrey this Sunday and Monday on the rudo shows.
AAA’s site now has it’s own PHP board (though you have to work to get there – they can’t get the link to work from their own webpages.) Figure it’ll get hacked like the CMLL one. Notice it’s listed as “yourdomain.com”.
