I’ve only seen message board posts about this and no other confirmation, so I’m not 100% sure, but apparently Konnan mentioned on the TNA show (in the Spanish commentary?) that Rey Mysterio Jr. will be in AAA for 03/18 for Rey de Reyes. This, like the WWE appearance in a couple of weeks, looks to be a non-wrestling appearance. I’m surprised WWE would okay it. (box y lucha forum; el martiente)
Let’s be honest: Even if Konnan did say and Rey’s planning on doing it, I’d expect the WWE to pull him, either because of the AAA/TNA relationship or requests from the promoters of the WWE Mexico tour. WWE does seem to let lucha guys work Mexico once a year, but they don’t let anyone work non-affiliated promotions with TV shows as well.
As long as we’re talking about unconfirmed rumors, how about this equation, which I’m late on
Shocker rumored to working with WWE
(plus) Shocker missing from CMLL events with no explanation
(plus) Ocampo’s throwaway line about Shocker being nomadic

As the story goes, Dusty Rhodes was the guy who got him in TNA (on the strength of his McDonald’s commercial – actually, that’s too good to be true so ignore I said it) and Dusty’s currently working as an idea man for the ECW group.
Mistico beat Black Warrior in the main event of Arena Coliseo. Ovaciones said it went 30 minutes. I may endeavor to get FSE next weekend for the sole purpose of timing it (and finding out it’s like 14 minutes bell to bell time.) Wagner’s team beat Ultimo’s team in the semifinal, with the Doctor grabbing the ropes to pin Guerrero. Ovaciones had perfectly understand results on Saturday for the Arena Mexico show (with the addition of asterisks!) but now either all the tecnicos won, or I can’t tell what’s going on. Probably the latter. Full results whenever they turn up on CMLL.com.
