Arturo Rivera‘s column talks about the end of Hector Garza’s career (as if he did not read the part that said “four years from now, maybe”) and says Ron Killings finishes up with AAA at Rey de Reyes before rejoining WWE. Rivera thinks this is proof WWE pays attention to AAA, neglecting to mention Killings was in TNA since the time it got started.
The latest SuperLuchas has a notice from the DF Box Y Lucha commission, announcing a few national 2007 awards. Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras are going to be inducted into the Mexico Sports Hall of Fame. Pompin is Referee of the Year. Paco Alonso is Promoter of the Year. Blue Panther is Wrestler of The Year. I love Blue Panther, he did win the main event of the anniversary show, but there’s a bit of a credibility gap on that award. Anyway, these awards all will be officially given out at the Mexico Sports award ceremony in March.

5) Exterminador b Ebola [hair]
6) Averno, Olímpico, Último Guerrero b Grey Shadow, Marco Corelone, Sagrado
Corelone took a foul in the main event.
Why is MedioTiempo’s recap of Friday’s show illustrated with a Jushin Lyger/Dr. Wagner Jr. picture?
Super Luchas #249 has John Cena’s return, and Averno & Mephisto as champs.
Ovaciones mentions IWRG has released monthly rankings for it’s divisions, and lists all the current #1 contenders.
Title Champion #1 Contender Welter Black Terry Oficial Fierro S. Welter Mistico Cerebro Negro Middle Negro Casas Damian 666 Heavy Canek Rayo de Jalisco Jr. Trios Esuadron de la Merte Dinamita Juniors
La Parka Jr. is listed as wrestling on at least on house show this week. I hope it’s false advertising, or he ends up just making an non-wrestling appearance. The guy needs to rest.
