SuperLuchas #259 has Dr. Wagner talking about WWE. Nothing you haven’t heard before, but I demand you to buy the magazine just for the brillant takedown of AAA and Arturo Rivera. Rivera complained in Box y Lucha that SuperLuchas wasn’t covering enough AAA, the response is sort of “you guys banned us, you dorks.” Also, “Mario Rivero” on Box y Lucha, today bringing up a WON rumor Goldberg and/or Lashey might be working TripleMania (no and maybe but who’d care), is actually AAA Press Officer Carlos Oliver. Sockos are not what I was thinking when I hoped lucha libre groups would make better use of the internet.
The rest of the magazine is good too, and I generally like Arturo but he probably should know the whole deal next time. There’s also a continuning anti-SuperLuchas “they cover too much of the US stuff!” complaints wrapped around this, which I still find to be dumb. They’re a magazine, a business attempting to make money, not a public service. Their obligations are to no one but themselves and they have full right to cover whatever they want, becuase they’re paying the bills at the end of the day.
Ovaciones posted Last Monday’s news article. I was confused for quite a while. I guess CMLL doing the exact same main event finish back to back weeks doesn’t stick me as weird.

5) Fabián el Gitano DCO Magnifico
I guess they’re building to a a apuesta match here? Reviewer demanded the commission come down hard on Vincent for the insults he directed towards an elderly female fan.

1) Mascarita Oriental & Nino de Fuego b Black Star & Zayruz

4) Sadico b Terry 2000 [AULL LIGHT]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Groon XXX, Solar I DQ Canek, Negro Navarro, Universo 2000
Canek ripped off Wagner’s match to the end the match. I’m thinking Canek wants his title back.

AAA (SUN) 04/13 Gimnasio Josue Neri Santos [tamba_jr @ box y lucha]
3) Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown b Cibernetico, El Elegido, Octagón [AAA AMERICAS TRIOS]
This was announced as victory #100 as well. Probably not the only two. There was a version of the AAA Americas Trios belt on display at last year’s lucha libre expos, so I would guess those are the belts being used. “Used” may be too strong – I think you have to wait to see if they’re mentioned again or shown up on TV before figuring out if this means anything or if it’s just some wacky thing they did for a Juarez show.
I still can’t figure how that match was solicited as a mask vs title match when neither team were champions.
Mr. Reyes teases next week’s Gladiatores with photos from Thursday’s Neza show. Also, peppers!

This show took place at 11 this morning, so you’ll probably need to get your time machine to attend. It’s an AAA Kid’s Day function. Good thing they didn’t book the evil clowns for a children’s hospital.

Superluchas does not actually list the trios – they just say 24 wrestlers, 8 trios – but I took this as a challenge. Also, boxing goat = $$$.
