Mr. Mexico faces Maximo in a hair match in Puebla on Monday. That’s an easy pick.
Ovaciones and Notimex have Arena Mexico previews; they seem to think the main event will be going in a Black Warrior/Mistico direction.
Box Y Lucha posted more articles – including the one I wanted to read!
– Chessman feels everything they do, CMLL copies. In his mind, the Perros del Mal are a weak copy of LLL and La Secta; weak enough that he wouldn’t ever bother fighting them. (It’d be more effective if “they’re ripping us off and they suck” didn’t come from a Mexican wearing a Kane outfit.) Chessman sums up his feud with La Parka Jr. as both guys winning a bunch, but Chessman being far superior, and someday he’ll actually put up his hair against Parka’s mask, and Parka will be very unhappy. Not Chessman is totally unhappy with Parka
We are thankful [La Parka Jr.] has taken the mask of Cybernetico, because it allowed us to know the face of the God of Lucha Libre.
That’s a silver lining. Anyway, Chessman expected Cibernetico back in December, and then they’ll take out all the cheap copies. He’s also rooting for Intocable to do well on the new season of Dancing With The Stars – Intocable is also not better than anyone in the Sect, but Chessman supports his fellow wrestlers.
– Fuerza Guerrera is critical towards Zorro and his frequent usage of canes and chairs in his matches, and he’s critical of Intocable for spending too much time away from the ring to do TV shows. Fuerza says his mask match with Octagon will happen – at some point in some future. If Octagon would win, Fuerza explains it’d be a historic occasion, but if he wins, it’s just another mask for the trophy cabinet.
– Sangre Azteca raves about his last tour of Japan; it hardened him as a warrior. He says he’ll be back in October. Sangre’s thought he needed to add some weight to be more succesful both in Japan and in Mexico, but putting on size has always been his bigest problem. He’s hoping for an oppurtinty in CMLL and working hard in the gym to be ready the moment he gets one.
– Mr. Aguila talks about losing his mask 8 years ago without mentioning “I had it off in the US anyway.” He inivited his mom to the Arena Mexico show, wanting her there for his biggest win, and when Ultimo Guerrero beat him, his mom took off his mask (and still tried to keep his face covered.)
– Fishman bio. Fishman was a big fan of comics, and figured if there’s a Superman and a Batman, there’s ought to be a Fishman. (I’m not making that up.) He got his big break wrestling Santo locally, and moved up to larger arenas from there. He originally had a gold/black mask, but since Solitario was famous with those colors, changed to green and gold (with a design drawn by an architecure friend.)
– There’s some controversy about Kiss promoting shows in LA, promoting wrestlers who hadn’t agreed to come (and didn’t appear). From reading some SoCalUncensored threads, this appears to be the fake Mistico deal. (It sounds like they had a guy named Sombra de Mistico wearing a Mistico mask and being quiet about the Sombra part.) Kiss Jr. defends his father, and claims they don’t use ‘clone’ wrestlers, but then goes into a hysterical defense mode about what a huge star his dad is and so on. He should’ve defended what happened and ended it there.
the Guardian UK has an interview with Fray Tormenta, as Nacho Libre debuts there next week. Tormenta thought the movie was funny, though had little to do with him.
According to AAA’s preview for it’s 08/06 TV taping, Xtreme Tiger is already the newest Viper. Their notes section says Abismo is looking for a mask match with Gronda II and pushes (again) for Fuerza/Octagon in a mask match.
