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.
CMLL PROLLM (SUN) 04/06 Coliseo Coacalco [SuperLuchas #259]
1) Alma Negra & Betos Boy b Aleph & Guman
2) Daga, Eterno, Lobo Metalico b Black Terror, Forastero, Stigma
3) Alexander, Valentine, Vincent b Ave Nocturna, Huizar, Storm
4) Ángel Azteca Jr., Gallito de Oro, Mano Negra Jr. b America, Macabro Jr., Negro Navarro
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.
AULL (WED) 04/09 Arena Lopez Mateos [SuperLuchas #259]
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!

2) Mascarita Divina & Mini Charly Manson vs Mascarita de la Muerte & Mini Chessman
3) El Alebrije & Super Fly vs Decnnis & Kenzo Suzuki
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.
AAA (MON) 04/14 Arena Cuatro Caminos Nuevo Laredo [RFC]

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

Dr. Wagner Jr. really comes across like he’s full of himself in that interview.
Super Crazy recommending Micke Segura is great, but I really would worry about what WWE would use Segura for. Probably have him feud with Hornswaggle.
I was reading Ernesto’s response to Arturo Rivera and I was thinking why they just didn’t get someone to sit at home, grab a beer and torta, watch the show on Televisa and do a recap. Get some screenshots and call it a day. Then I get to the end of his commentary and they had done that in the past. Brilliant!
Superluchas does a pretty good job of covering wrestling worldwide when you compare it to some of the U.S. wrestling magazines. Do wrestling magazines still exist in the U.S.?
IMO, Dr. Wagner Jr. has always seemed to be full of himself since that June ’97 tour of New Japan when he got an instant push due to his hard work. Ever since then it seems he’s always felt that working in Mexico was beneath him. I have no physical proof to prove that statement, just years and years of him not working even 1/4th as hard as he did on that Japan tour and holding promoters up for tons of money only to never come through with big matches he promises the fans. Hopefully his story doesn’t end the way Fishman’s story is ending…
I can’t believe they remember Mike Segura once worked for the WWE. It wasn’t even on Super Astros, it was when he was Super Nova in 1997 and it was only 4 shows! Useless info like that should only be recalled by me!:P
