Some highlights from this week’s SuperLuchas, since it was more interesting than playing “guess the finish” based on CMLL.com pictures.
Canek explains he’s been out for six months recovering from left knee surgery, and he plans on getting surgery on the right knee by the end of the month. He’ll be back in 2008 and has no plans to retire. He still feels the UWA World Heavyweight Title should belong to me, and Wagner shouldn’t be able to call himself champ after how he won it. Canek likes the idea that he’s feuding with sons of men he also feuded with two decades ago.
In an article about Fantasma being re-elected as president of the DF lucha commission, a plan to have an official website listing accredited gyms and trainers. Does this have more or less of a chance of happening than insurance for veteran wrestlers?
The notes section on the last page mentions Pantera is the guy working as Yamada in AJPW. Did everyone else know this and I was the last to find out?
There’s more than that – I liked the interview with Amapola, though I don’t think there was much new to me (except she still has the IWRG belt somewhere.)

I thought El Hijo Del Pierroth was Yamada and Tanaka was the one whom we were trying to figure out.
Now that I think about in seeing the unmasked Pantera and Tanaka in AJPW, I can definitely make the connection that Pantera is Tanaka.
The new mystery (to me) has to be who is playing Akiyoshi in AJPW?
How is Tito Santana Jr. wrestling two matches unless it’s a typo.
I assume it’s Rocky Santana.
Ogun turning on Maximo on Tuesday’s Coliseo show needs a post of it’s own. Please tell me how that feud benefits anyone.
I went back to the SuperLucha to check I was reading it right (I am, it says Tanaka is Pantera.) Akiyoshi is Kendo, according to the same source.
