06/23: Mexico preview

There’s an interview with Porky in Ovaciones. He’d been in CMLL for 20 years before the jump. Porky plans on fulfilling his already scheduled dates booked thru CMLL: 06/29 in Naucalpan (IWRG), 07/02 in Denver for the Eddie G tribute show, 07/08 and 07/09 in Oaxaca, and 07/17 in Puebla.

Kenzo Suzuki talked to the paper as well. I’ve managed to ignore his return to Arena Mexico all week. It was fun to pretend.

CMLL (FRI) 06/23 Arena Mexico
1) Rey Tigre, Tigre Metalico vs Arkangel, Dr. X
2) Mascara Purpura, Pantera, Sagrado vs Hombre Sin Nombre, Nitro, Sangre Azteca
3) Felino, La Mascara, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Mephisto, Misterioso II
4) Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo de Lizmark vs Hector Garza, Kenzo Suzuki, LA Park

Like always, Kenzo wants to take out Dos. Either they announce something for Jucio Final tonight or it’s off entirely, and I’m not sure what they’d do on one week notice (don’t suggest Dos vs Kenzo.)

indy (FRI) 06/23 Palenque del Hipodromo de Tijuana Lineup [KrisZ]
1) Manicomio & Wama vs Phantom & Transformer
2) Animaniac & Yarak vs Dimension & Spyder Black
3) El Ninja, Rayman, Mr. Tempest vs El Diablo, Mortiz, TJ Boy
4) Hijo del Santo, Rayo de Jalisco, Rey Misterio vs Angel Blanco Jr., Blue Demon Jr., Hijo del Solitario
This is Rey Misterio’s 30th anniversary; he’s wearing the old mask for the match.

The Christian Science Monitor visits CHIKARA’s school to learn about lucha libre. (It turns out to be tough!) By the way, when the day comes where CMLL turns rudo on me, we’re switching this to a CHIKARA blog.
