On CMLL main TV show this weekend, the promotion announced Mascarita Sagrada (presumably the one which was just in AAA and current Mexican Mini champ) and Mini Black Warrior are coming in. I have no records of a Mini Black Warrior, so the easy guess is Mini Halloween’s getting a new gimmick.

– Super Luchas #231 hypes the cage match

Political party PAN will sponsor lucha libre shows in 15 states to promote the parties’ issues.
Dominican Republic wrestler Jack Veneno is profiled by Listin Diario. It’s good, though I always wonder about a bit of fictionalization in these. The best story is how his first title match versus Ric Flair ended in DQ when Santa Claus ran-in.
An unnamed luchador is being sued for damaging a promoter’s car. Well, his real name is given, but strangely not his luchador name. Apparently, he was late for a show where he was supposed to be in a main event with Octagoncito. The promoter fined him, and the wrestler allegedly caused 40 000 pesos damage to the promoter’s Nissan Sentra. ($3,642)
IWRG’s redesigned homepage looks completely broken on Firefox (though it’s fine on Internet Explorer) and none of the links work. Perhaps they’ll fix this.
