Ovaciones has a story about Mistico jumping to AAA. It’s a joke. (Do not sound the funk alarm.) They did this last year and Dave Meltzer ended up falling for it, so that’s something to look forward to.
Here’s what a random google found, FWIW:
December 28, Day of the Holy Innocents, is a religious commemoration of King Herod’s ordering the slaughter of all male infants in his kingdom, intended to include the Christ Child. In Mexico it is celebrated as day akin to April Fool’s, an occasion for jokes and pranks. The usual tactic is to approach a friend and ask to borrow cash or some object of value. If fooled by the ploy, the victim may be given a candy or silly gift in return, along with much joking and name calling. So beware or you may find yourself titled Fool Saint for a day!
Ovaciones also has a story about Atlantis taking a vacation to Salt Lake City, which if in fact true, is also a joke. Actually, if it’s true, I would hope they bring a camera crew with to tape “Atlantis skis – and is a rudo!” skits. I mean, I guess CMLL shorter matches and AAA’s trend towards ‘extreme’ wrestling and other stuff could be voted as “worst development in lucha this year”, but for me, it’s the lack of wacky skits. I have a problem with show long bits that reveal the man under the Shocker mask to be, in fact, Shocker, but I’d be totally down with show long bits of Shocker and Dr. Wagner Jr. bowling and getting a strike in every frame.
