lucha week on F4

I may be on Bryan Alvarez’s Figure Four daily later tonight, talking lucha libre. If you’ve got questions you’d like answered, send them to Bryan.

Another guest may or may not still be on, and I may be taped delayed to later in the week or maybe not – blah blah blah, you have lucha questions, you want them answered, someone will answer them, mail them in now.

05/01: Puebla, Mistico set to challenge for fifth title, magazines

cmll

CMLL (MON) 04/30 Arena Puebla [hugo999 @ box y lucha]
1) Forajido, the Tiger, Zigma b Aguila Guerrera, Espiritu Maligno, Fuerza Tiger

Leono and Toro Bill Sr. fight for their hairs next week.

WWA (FRI) 05/25 Auditorio de Tijuana [rey_misterio_tj @ Satanico’s Mansion]
1) La Mascara, Mistico, Sagrado vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto [WWA TRIOS]

This is Mora’s anniversary show and such, but really – belt #5! Theoretically, the Trio of Terror could win the trios belts, but I see Averno and Mistico in there, so I suspect I know the ending. These belts were last held by the Brazos in ’98, so they’re vacant (and pretty meaningless, but whatever.)

Gililo @ el Martiente has photos from the LLX show in Guadalajara. Meanwhile, amateur @ box y lucha says wrestlers didn’t go on with the next show in LLX, because they weren’t getting paid.

Magazines
Guerreros del Ring #85 has KeMonito as Godzilla.
Box Y Lucha #2816 has Perro beating Mistico

My San Antonio has a review of Dan Madigan’s lucha libre book.

“Mondo Lucha A Go-Go” is a book that is well worth its price in photos alone and one that followers of lucha libre will want for their collection.

Santo was in Chicago on Friday as part of the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies conference.

IWRG’s site is still down.

Abismo being listed twice is probably a typo. The main event is all about the new unions.

Chessman and El Mesias should be an interesting match.

If you’re one of those people who like putting down title changes ahead of time, you can go ahead and do with the Atomicos title. That’s should be about it for Juvi and the Mexican Powers.
