They’re doing a “surprise Viper” bit again in the 4th. This is an Octagon tribute show for hitting 25 years of wrestling, so I think you can figure how that main event is going. No La Parka Jr., as he got suspended for a month of shows last tapings. No Hellbrothers because they have no one to fight? Maybe just because it’s Octagon’s night.
RFC is hearing three Mexican wrestlers will probably be joining AAA, either at their first show in Monterrey or the TV taping after.

LA Park talked to Ovaciones today. He claimed his feud wasn’t with other wrestlers – it was with the fans in Arena Mexico! I think he could take ’em. Park finds the fans too moody – he acts tecnico, they boo him, he acts rudo, they start cheering him, what gives? Park’s goal for this year is to the take Dr. Wagner’s mask, and he’ll take the fight outside of CMLL if they keep protecting Wagner and refusing to do the match. It’s good he has a backup plan.
Wrestlers Iron Man and Scorpion were honored by the Box Y Lucha comission of Merecieron. (El Manana)
You may have already seen this elsewhere yesterday, but if you haven’t, there’s a show called Viva La Lucha that’s selling itself at the National Association of Television Program Executives conference this week. (It’s probably over by the time you read this.) The trailer’s entertaining in itself, just for the randomness. I’m sure I see WWE (SmackDown and old ECW footage) and TNA clips in there, but the stuff with a Flash – that’s gotta be RXLL, right? If I understand this correctly, this is merely a hype video to find people (a cable company? someone with money!) to get excited enough about the product to talk them, and not actually a preview, but I don’t expect to hear anything more about this. The studio behind it appears to be reputable, but it doesn’t seem like this is farther along than the concept stage. (Thanks to mikeinformer)
The next Toryumon Mexico show will be on 03/04 in Arena Coliseo, and will feature the promised/threatened NWA International Junior Heavyweight Title tournament. Is this the Zero One Title or the one prior to it? Is that a stupid question? I have no idea. This title better be going back to Japan regardless. Anyway, it’s an 8 man tournament, and current first round match ups are
Hijo de Pierroth (Puerto Rico) vs Alex Koslov (Russia)
Chad Malenko (USA) vs Shocker (Mexico)
Hirooki Goto (Japan) vs Veneno (Panama)
Tajiri (Japan) vs Ultimo Dragon (Japan)
I don’t think Hijo de Pierroth will be bringing home the gold. Yes, I know there are lies up there, but I think that’s what we’re supposed to roll with here. Main event isn’t announced, will theoretically feature Mexicans. They’ll also be Toryumon shows on 05/10 (Acapulco) and 05/12 (annual Arena Mexico show – happy birthday to me). [DGUSA and KrisZ]
There’s a thread on Box Y Lucha theorizing why Arena Coliseo Guadalajara isn’t drawing well.

Misterioso II no showed at a Coliseo main event but he is still working down here in Gym Ranchero, Deportivo Lee Roy and the other tiny arenas?
I got the feeling that the 3 jumping guys are going to be Silver King, Misterioso II and Stuka Jr…
Please be Fabian El Gitano, Hijo Del Lizmark and La Mascara! :)
yea that is the Zero-One Jr. title
Maybe Santo will show up on the Toluca show.
India Sioux is going back to Japan to work for Fukumen Store which is Mr. Cacao aka Macho Pump’s little group.
I guess we can throw names at random and at the end is going to be just a guy they already have with them. I saw Gym Ranchero’s card and it has Misterioso II vs Brillante Jr in a mano a mano as the main event for the 20th, so it makes it impossible for him to be the 4th Viper… still, have to wonder why isn’t he back in CMLL yet.
La Mascara is the least likely to jump guy, his dad has quite a lot of power in CMLL and is not in good terms with Plata and Brazo… it will be so dumb to jump… OK, it is going to happen!!
I think the NWA International Jr. Heavyweight Title that Toryumon is promoting was the same one that Onita held back during his Jr. Heavyweight days in AJPW of the early 1980’s. I know Onita & Ultimo did an angle at Ultimo’s promoted Korakuen show in October where Onita gave Ultimo to his old belt to use.
