well, I stayed up to 2 AM that night for no good reason, but I finished it up today. If you want to know what wacky poking of the database I’ve added to the profile cards, click the link.
Be forewarned; everything I do here is some split between “covering lucha” and “thinking up a web programming/database idea”, and this is no more than 10% lucha.
– instead of having a line on the results list for every arena someone went to over a year ago and not since, they’re all grouped into “arenas not recently visited”.
– vagulely promised long ago, I’ve figured out to measure winning and losing streaks. For the purpose of this (mostly worthless) stat, draws and matches without a known finish do NOT stop a streak. Most useful fact: Mistico won 18 straight CMLL DF matches after becoming Mistico. Now that’s a push out of the gate.
– the allies/opponents thing I posted here a while back will be updated on these pages, on the same basis. Note the use of semicolons – I was too much in a hurry to work in comma logic.
These cards are currently only updated when the wrestlers themselves are updated the day before – usually because I’ve added or changed an event and they’re on it, but for other stuff like moving them from roster to roster – so it probably will be Monday before all the cards have those values (unless I get itchy and force the system to catch up.)
If you’ve got other ideas on ways to poke nearly useful information from them database, or any other idea I can apply my insomina to, or ideas I said I’d do at the time and have now completely forgot, let me know.

Daniel Garcia,who made the name of Huracan Ramirez an icon of lucha libre has passed away.In his time as Huracan Ramirez Garcia had notable feuds with the likes of El Santo,El Medico Asesino,El Bulldog,Ray Mendoza,El Solitario,El Enfermero and El Espanto III,these last two he wound up defeating for their masks.As Huracan Ramirez he also appeared in a number of movies starting in 1962 with EL MISTERIO DE HURACAN RAMIREZ and ending his movie career with DE SANGRE CHICANA.He was known as the Prince of Silk and Gold as he had a reputation for being a snazzy dresser.In the early 80’s the copyright holders of the Huracan Ramirez name asked Garcia to step down quietly so a younger wrestler could assume the role.Daniel Garcia instead opted to retire and unmask in La Arena Mexico,insuring his successor would come off as nothing but a pretender to the throne.Amongst Garcia’s lucha kin were El Matematico,who was his brother,and various nephews,some who wrestled under the name of Huracan Ramirez Jr,or Hijo de Huracan Ramirez,and even El Santo who was Huracan Ramirez’s real life “compadre”.More on this man’s illustrious career to come shortly.
