I’ve been waiting for Coliseo DF results to turn up. I’m sure they will about five seconds after I post this.
Anyone watch a lot of Puerto Rician wrestling? There’s a theory that Killer Clown, the tallest one of Psycho Circus, might have been someone who would’ve been brought over by Moody Jack Melendez, but I don’t know who’d fit.
indy (FRI) 03/14 Auditorio de Tijuana [d3v1lb0y @ box y lucha]
4) Angel Blanco Jr., El Hijo del Solitario, Hijo de Rey Misterio DDQ Arandu, Inferno, TJ Boy
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Último Dragón b LA Park & Toscano
Recall how Wagner’s crowd brawling was a problem in Laguna? Wagner and Park went brawling in the crowd here during the second fall, and the commission ordered the show shut down! Lights and sounds were turned off, referee left, and crowd was not happy. Fifteen minutes later, Wagner and Park came back to the ring and did a foul finish to end it and send people home. This is starting to become a trend.
The semimain was thrown out for too much extreme wrestling too, so someone decided to lay the law down.
Pierroth told Periodico Record (via wagnerdesdel92) he wil lretired on 08/15 (Friday) at Arena Mexico in a relevos increibles match: Pierroth & LA Park vs Atlantis & Satanico. It’s a long time between now and August. Pierroth explains this is pushed back from July because “there was a significant event in CMLL.”
El Sol del Hidaglo writes about Fray Tormenta’s life. I didn’t realize he was abusing drugs at the age of 13. He sounds upset Mistico and Sagrado don’t remember his orphanage enough.
Olimpico & Justiciero were scheduled for a singles match this Sunday in Coliseo Coalaco; dime_vakerochris @ box y lucha says it’s now a mask vs hair match.
An article in Hoy Tamaulipas accused AAA of using a fake Mesias on the show Saturday. The fake Mesias was “obese, and slow in the ring.”
Milenio-DF writes about a new lucha libre book, “Y detrás de las máscara…El pueblo” by German researcher Janina Möbius (who’s name is mispelled). It’s an examination of the links between lucha libre and Mexican society, and I think it came out a couple years ago. There’s an old thread on DVDVR about it, but can’t find a link for the book (and would presume its in German.)
Jvän_ßrvj() @ box y lucha posted an interesting factoid about the origin of the original Grey Shadow. It’s a right place, right time thing.
Televisa & Telemundo have reached a content sharing deal, but it’s going from the US to Mexico, not the other way (which we’d in the US would hope for lucha.) Telemundo will produce telenovelas in Mexico, Televisa will add a network to their servce to air them, and Telemundo will also air them in the US. (thanks to mikeinformer)
indy (MON) 05/05 Expo Fresas 2008, Irapuato, Guanajuato [el sol de irapuato]
1) Máscara Sagrada & Mil Mascaras vs Blue Demon Jr. & el Hijo Del Anibal
CMLL (MON) 05/12 Expo Fresas 2008, Irapuato, Guanajuato [el sol de irapuato]
1) Místico & Volador Jr. vs Damián 666 & el Hijo del Perro Aguayo
These are main events for an annual Strawberry Fair. I don’t put much stock into two months out lineups, but why not. Fairs are picking up as weather warms up; lucha libre is on the schedule in Mexico City’s fair, starting on the 03/30.
Black Terry Jr. posted photos of the AULL show and from one of the ANL daily fair show in the box y lucha forum.
Lourdes Groubet’s lucha libre photos are now in the Queretaro City Musuem.
I’m not sure why google is just picking it up now, but Pagina 12 Argentina writes about the 2006 revival of Gladiadores del Ring in Uruguay.
Slam! Canada’s review of Wrestlemaniac
Wrestlemaniac may not get great reviews, if any, but for a horror movie fan and wrestling fan, this movie fills both needs and keeps you from getting distracted.

It’s possible that Mesias has put on a lot of weight and looks different. I couldn’t believe how bulky he was when I saw him in TNA Orlando in December.
My girlfriend is in Argentina and keeps telling me how over the local lucha is.
I noticed on Galavision, they are doing episode specific promos for the Sunday AAA shows. This week they promoted the continuing drama between Abismo and Niebla. I guess they saw how FSE was promoting the CMLL stuff with promos for specific matches, and decided to do the same.
I’m thinking the fake Mesias being the real Mesias is probable. AAA sends replacements pretty regularly to spot shows.
I’m sure it was Mesias.
Fray Tomentia got beef with Mistico and Sagrado eh?
He actually said that Sagrado is the oppossite from that ungratefull piece of crap nammed Mistico who won’t even visit the place where he grew up…
LOL
Konnan did tell me Mistico was a piece of crap and ungrateful when I ask him about Mistico. I heard other people talking about Mistico as well. Maybe that’s why he trying to leave Mexico?
Lucha, I think the promotion in Argentina you talking about is 100% Lucha. I remember asking you about it on the DVDR boards.
With “He”, I meant Fray Tormenta, who’s calling Mistico ungratefull while saying Sagrado has been “visiting the orphanage”.
Konnan has always been jealous of anyone who has had more success than him in Mexico.
I wish Fray Tormenta would give more interviews bashing Mistico. The more time he spends doing interviews, the less time he spends molesting young boys.
I don’t if Konnan is jealous.Mistico has not reach Konnan early 90’s level. KOnnan does have an ego but all the top guys have ego’s. Konnan never strike as a liar like other guys but who knows?
This the same Konnan that said AAA was going to stop doing “luchador sorpresa”‘s?:)
Is there any other Konnan?
Konnan Big
Super Konnan
Konnan Plus
Konnan Gay
Konnan 2000
Konnan King
Mini Konnan
:)
WHAT! No Micro Konnan?
They need to run a “La Jaula de los Konnans II” soon…
They still have to do a Turbo Konnan, Konnan Max, Konnan Queen, Konnan The Barbarian, Konnan Jr., El Hijo Del Konnan, Konnancito, Konnan Dogg, Konnan Negro, Konnan El Payaso…
Weird that no Coliseo results have popped up. Perhaps when cmll.com updates tmrw?
Luchador sorpresa in AAA is almost a category like mini’s, mujeres, and exoticos. I’m glad they decided not to do away with it.
USA Sorry if I didn’t respond to something you asked about on DVDR about Argentina. I usually respond and don’t get lost on threads. Yes, Konnan does not like Mistico. He once called him a “dick” on some internet radio show.
You responded, you told me it came on DirectTv or something like that. You also told me it suck.LOL
I was asking if it was the same wrestling company that your girlfriend was talking about?
It seems like Wagner is trying to get banned from Lucha just so he can go to All Japan with his brother. I know Rob would love that and So would I. It would give me one less reason to care about CMLL.
Yes. The same group that’s on tv in Argentina is touring Argentina right now. 100% Lucha. They’re on Telefe in the US via Directv.
I think that German book is actually new. It has a different title from the one that came out a few years ago. Here’s a link to a library record for the first book:
http://mobius.umsystem.edu/search/Ylucha+libre&SORT=D/Ylucha+libre&SORT=D&extended=0&SUBKEY=lucha%20libre/1%2C8%2C8%2CB/frameset&FF=Ylucha+libre&SORT=D&4%2C4%2C
Worldcat says the new book is in Spanish, and only one library in the U.S. has a copy.
http://newfirstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/FSFETCH?fetchtype=fullrecord:sessionid=fsapp12-41063-fdyjo08z-d41uxu:entitypagenum=3:0:recno=2:resultset=1:format=FI:next=html/record.html:bad=error/badfetch.html:entitytoprecno=2:entitycurrecno=2:numrecs=1
That seems about right.
Hey Rob, The man we know as Konnan is the same one who was known at one point as Konnan The Barbarian (Konnan El Barbaro)
