Psicosis/Nicho was arrested Monday for carjacking. (El Mexicano’s article is here) He’s accused of stealing a car at gunpoint (the gun in this case turned out to be a water pistol hidden under a towel, though no one knew it at the time.) Assuming this is accurate, if he’s not already fired from WWE by the time you read this, he probably will be soon, and that seems to be the least of his problems.

Negro Casas will be out at least three weeks with a torn muscle in his middle abductor. (CMLL.com) He’s booked in a lot of bigger/known arena matches over the weekend, so there’s going to be some reshuffling.
– Arena Mexico: Heavy Metal is inserted into the main event, Maximo takes Metal’s spot in the tercera, Mascara Purpura takes Maximo’s place in the segunda
– Sunday Arena Coliseo: La Mascara moves to the main event, Metro II replaces him in the cibernetico.
– not sure on IWRG changes yet.
AAA’s been kicked out of Arena Coliseo Monterrey. The arena management said they had a deal with Pena, not the local promoter, and the deal’s off now that Pena’s passed. They’ll run a local show in AAA’s usual Sunday slot (that’s the local show with Konnan Big vs Local TV Stars, and they’ve been drawing good despite some bad wrestling), and CMLL is expected to eventually take AAA’s place in the building. AAA will likely try to run shows in Arena Solidardad instead.
El Pancracio #23 is up, and you really ought to read their article on Pena‘s funeral. They got interviews with a lot of wrestlers there, and the common sentiment seemed they would refuse to let AAA (and Antonio Pena’s memory) die. On a different note, I wish El Pancracio would do a better job of identifying what’s the new content is each edition. It’s tough to tell what’s been added, and I’m sure I’m missing new stuff each time.
Lots of familiar names on an Ultimo Dragon show tommorow in Japan.

please do the mask match already, thanks. I think it’s possible to get from Tokyo to Mexico City in time for the Arena Mexico show, but I don’t suppose it’ll be fun.
