Let me explain the Teleton matches bit in once place, so it’s easier for me to recall later:

Around 1pm on Saturday, CMLL and AAA both had matches.
– Dos Caras Jr., Shocker, Heavy Metal b Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Olimpico
– Abismo Negro, Chessman, Charly Manson b La Parka Jr., Intocable, Head Hunter I (who had to be filling in for someone)

After the matches, they proposed the two winning teams would face off – but only if the people watching at home would donate 4,000,000 pesos ($367633 US) in the next half hour. They went over four million, so the match was on: Dos, Shocker and Metal vs Abismo, Chessman, Charly. (It’s been noted that all the CMLL guys had once been in AAA.) Shocker and Abismo were captains.

In the one fall match, Heavy Metal pinned Charly Manson with a ‘rana, but then Chessman beat Heavy Metal. The next pinfall would be the deciding one, and Dos took himself and Chessman out of the picture with a dive. Abismo and Shocker got into a tapatia, leaned back, and both sets of shoulders were down for the three count. It was a double pin draw, though both sides complained and vowed revenge.

Sports newspaper Esto has announced it’ll start covering lucha libre. YAY INFORMATION. As a person not living in the US, it’s pretty mindboggling that a newspaper would decide to start to cover wrestling. I’m not complaining.

There’s wire articles about the teleton match in many places – Vanguarida and mundo hispano are two

Latin Lover has had some falling out with the producers of the Solo para Mujers shows and won’t be appearing with them any more. However, he’ll still be doing his other show and just signed a seven year exclusive contract with Televisa, so he’ll probably be doing okay. They’re going to start filming on a lucha movie early next year. (tabascao hoy)

A blog entry on Milenio talks about piracy in lucha libre, mostly with Rayo de Jalisco Jr. If I’m not mistaken, Rayo claims Rayman – the wrestler who El Hijo de Rayo de Jalisco Jr. till the name had to be changed – was someone who is not family and was pirating the name. That can’t be right – there’s gotta be confusion somewhere here.
