ESTO says Hector Garza already wants an injury, blaming the loss on the right wrist he hurt during the match. I didn’t see ESTO’s bios of Lutteroth and Black Shadow yesterday, so there’s the link for them today. SuperLuchas has Perro cutting a promo after the match. Steve Sims says the show was a sellout.
AAA’s injury cursed 2008 continues: Zorro will be out several weeks after tearing something in his right leg during the Rey de Reyes final. The article says he expects to be back in April (so maybe he’ll only miss a couple weeks of TV?) and lists him as #1 contender to the AAA Title. AAA still hasn’t updated their website since pre-Rey de Reyes.
Arturo Rivera outs Skandalo as Panico’s son, and says he’s been hearing from promoters frustrated with CMLL forcing Skandalo on them. Arturo also says Magadan is working in the CMLL offices, which breaks the rule of all the announcers being employed by Televisa and not the promotions.

Each of the three not previous announced matches has something interesting going on. This is Villano III’s first match back since last December’s appearance on the IWRG’s Santo card. The timings makes it seem as though he was just secretly suspended for three months. This is also Atomo’s first match in a while. Puma Kid was a name TJ Perkins was using while here with the Havana Brothers. It woudln’t make a great deal of sense for him to be back working openers, but, hey, Grey Shadow’s around.
