01/10: not much

Slow day. Go read a book while I work on stuff that should be up already (and might be up soon.)

Ovaciones main story is a CMLL press conference to hype up tomorrow’s show. I bet there will be more about this tomorrow when ESTO and others put up their notes column, but today’s bit focuses on the minis title match. Dorada figures beating Mini Damian in last week’s cibernetico proves he’s got the talent to take the title tomorrow , while Mini Damian reminds us of his successes in ’07 (winning the minis title, winning that year’s cibernetico, winning the bodybuilding content) and plans to make ’08 even bigger. Reforma (via Jazzo @ el Martinete has a similiar story.

Ovaciones also previews the three stage cage match IWRG is running tonight. It looks like IWRG’s lineup page is being updated again, though most of the webpage still doesn’t work well for me.

IWRG (THU) 01/10 Arena Naucalpan
1) Akuma vs Comando Gama
2) Halcón Salvaje & Tortuguillo Ninja II vs Judas el Tradior & Rockero del Diablo
3) Freelance, Gemelo Fantastico I, Gemelo Fantastico II vs Cyborg, El Hijo del Diablo, Oficial AK47
4) el Hijo Del Anibal, Pantera, Veneno vs Kai, Kalimari, Yamato
5) Bogeman vs Capitán Muerte, Oficial 911, Multifacético, Puma King, Xibalva [cage, loser advances]
6) Fantasma de la Ópera vs Oficial Fierro, Tortuguillo Ninja I, Coco Verde, Radiactivo, Nemesis IWRG [cage, loser advances]
7) ? vs ?? [cage, mask]

I think it’s too soon for Radiactivo to lose again (though I’d be the house on Multifacético beating him if Radiactivo is losing).

Denver’s Westword News has a long article about a local (partly) lucha libre promotion, (the IWF). You know how you can tell they’re a real lucha libre promotion? Someone’s doing the Huracan Ramirez gimmick!
