Ovaciones confirms TripleMania will take place on June 13 (Friday) in Palacio de los Deportes. This is what Marco Rivera back on the 19th.
Arena Coliseo (DF) turns 65 years old today. I’m surprised they didn’t run a big show for the occasion. Maybe we’ll get one later this month. Ovaciones writes about the biggest match (Black Shadow vs El Santo on November 7, 1952) and the two deaths (Sangre India on December 25, 1979, and Oro on October 23, 1993.)
This comment got stuck in the comment filter, but it’s got a link to the original “Wagner’s going to WWE” article. I can believe he talked to Super Crazy who talked to Vince McMahon, I can’t quite believe anything can come off it, and the suggested idea that he’d work both US and Mexico is clear sign this isn’t far along if any of it happening at all. It’s a non story at this point.
In his weekday column, Arturo Rivera notes the many tecnicos and not so many rudos in AAA. Also, it sounds like the AAA wrestlers are going quizzed on their wrestling abilities by Gran Apache and Pepe Casas. They need to put that on PPV. Arturo seemingly honestly unable to comprehend why management might have issues with some of the wrestling is the best part.
SuperLuchas #257 has Park vs UG and Panther vs V5. Next week is their WM issue.
SuperLuchas’s also posted one two posts on the Chela Salazar show. Playing ‘which guy is taking pictures for the website’ was a fun game to play during intermissions. They got all the wrestlers names (instead of relying what they had written on the gear), so they’re much more professional than I.
Reading thru them, I’m reminded how pointless “Black Fish” really is. The guy I don’t have a problem with, but the name change is kinda pointless. Everyone announces him and puts him on his poster as “the guy who used to be Fishman Jr., Black Fish, the son of Fishman”. The only place he’s Black Fish is in the record books. I guess it works if Fishman is happy, but Black Fish really just got a new look and the old identity.
BTW, the blue tarp you see in the background is a wall divider. On the other side of it is an indoor soccer field, which had games going on for at least the first half of the show.

YAAAAYYY!!
Tigre Blanco has not retired – HE’S BACK, WOOHOO! :d
Did I miss something?
AAA announce the Triplemania show last Sunday on television.
sorry about the double post
Looks like he filled in for Trueno last night at the Coliseo.
Shame it wasn’t for Leono but nevermind. A rare TV appearance awaits on Saturday
End this ‘Metalico’ nonsense and bring back Los Dos Tigres! :D
Oooh, those weren’t up before. I wonder how Tigre Blanco is feeling today – that’s the test.
Cubs wins – Vaquero’s going bald this Sunday :)
Wasn’t sure from the reports which Metal dude it was he was feuding with, but it appears to be Blanco. Shame it’s not Metalik, although hopefully clips of that 3rd from top match airs too.
At least we can be thankful Vaquero is getting tv time and it isn’t hidden away on a Tuesday show :)
Cubs is booking Arena Coliseo GDL just like I used to book Arena Neza. That has to be the explanation.
FANTASTIC news about Tigre Blanco. But he did get low blowed to end the match so maybe he just came back to drop his mask and get some cash…
I wonder what’s up with Tzuki not showing up in GDL last night? Ultimo Dragoncito took his place against Pierrothito. Hope he didn’t get hurt on Sunday.:/ I love the photo galleries they put up from each GDL show which are like 40% action and 60% the hottest chicks in the world.
Next week’s GDL shows look great! I’m sure the third will make it in clips and I’ll youtube it b/c everything Metalik does = youtube worthy.:)
Zorro vs Cibernetico, Mesias [electric cage
They must be testing this for Triplemania.
Zorro is ripped. Best shape he’s ever been in.
I wonder if Chui going to the TV taping in Torreon.
Bah, it starts too early at 20:30.
