According to Luchas 2000, the Grey Shadow is an Inoki LA Dojo graduate, 170 cm/5′ 7″ tall and welter/middleweight. A lot of people have passed thru that school, so it doesn’t narrow it down enough.
It’s possible it could be one of the Havana Brothers guys. Rocky Romero and Puma seem to be getting regular enough weekend bookings in the US that they wouldn’t give it to go to Mexico. I presume Bobby Quance is still with the Navy, but I haven’t seen an update. Ricky Reyes didn’t impress enough for them to bring him back any time before now, so that’d be a surprise.
I’d guess it’d be someone who was at the school around the same time Alex Koslov was, because that’d be an obvious in. We could just e-mail Alex and see if he’ll spill, but I kinda want to figure out the puzzle myself. I suspect ESTO and others will talk about him this Friday.
I totally forget there was a Grey Shadow from the 40s. Thanks for the reminder. Maybe Box Y Lucha will write a history piece on him this week?
Everyone, Ovaciones includes, has very generic previews of Friday’s show. Atlantis respects the challengers.
Galeria Loteria Nacional hosts an exhibition of lucha libre art by Ismael Olivares from Feburary 7 to March 7.
AAA’s results from the last taping have few new details. Estrellita’s hosting a children’s show. They also preview the NOAH guys showing up on Friday.
AAA’s added Abismo Negro vs Mr. Niebla for leadership of the Vipers to the 02/10 taping. I don’t get why the three other guys haven’t turned on them yet, but whatever.
Guerrerito Zulu, an active minis wrestler in Chipas, passed away Sunday. (Box Y Lucha)

if Grey Shadow is from Inoki Dojo and can be considered a sort of high flyer, i’d say it’s gotta be Jose Moreno. he already has experience wrestling in the mexico indys and he’s from the Inoki Dojo. i’d have to see Grey Shadow wrestle to be 100% but i’m thinking he’s Moreno. i mean he definitely fits.
Looks like the only change to Arena Mexico on Friday is Tony Rivera in for Jimmy Neutron in the opener. My guess is it will air now.:)
I could go for a new Barrios gimmick although putting Alan back under the Morpho mask and as a rudo would instantly make me an AAA mark again. We also need to bring back ARLEQUIN!
Sucks for Alan. You think the could have done something more with him like they are with Billy and Decnnis.
