AAA

Ovaciones lucha article of the day is the Villanos announcing they will open a website next Thursday. The address of the website is never mentioned in the article, though I guess the idea is they’ll announce it next week and they’re plugging a contest where the first five e-mailers to arturosas@gmail.com who can figure it if the nickname of the Villanos is “the Imperial Dynsaty” or “the Pink Panthers” get passes to the press confrence (for a website.) It’s the dynasty, but I’m thinking they’ve got far more than five e-mails by the time anyone reads this.

Notimex did a bunch of CMLL coverage of Tuesday’s Arena Mexico show. If you recall, Panther’s team won when Ultimo pulled his mask.

– Villano V votes for a Blue Panther vs Villano V vs Atlantis match. Not he’s scared of Ultimo Guerrero, of course, he just wants to settle the longer rivalries first.

– UG explains he doesn’t mind losing, he just didn’t want to be caught in Panther’s “lethal” hold. Yea, makes sense not to die on a Tuesday show. Save that for Friday. UG also seems to think his feud with is much more serious than the Villanos do. I suspect paranoia.

– Lizmark Jr. wants Dos Caras’s title – this is the article which appeared in Reforma.

ESTO has two articles

– one on Nicho and Lider’s Brotherhood (Lider explains he turned on the MPs because he was bored of doing the same thing)

– Another Perro Aguayo Jr., continuing his campaign for a non-title, non-apuesta singles match with Mistico.

Box Y Lucha posted a bunch of articles on it’s site, all from recent editions of the magazine. They’d be much better served posting these a little more spread out. (And remember I said that when I post six AAA recaps in a day.)

– their story on the Wagner march
– Vampiro talking about his return to AAA.
– Joe Lider explaining the Mexican Powers were failing because Juvi was too occupied with his singing and fashion design (?) and Crazy Boy was focused on his own promotion. Joe Lider’s going to start putting Joe Lider first.
– Brazo de Oro assures us the Union of Luchadores of CMLL is still working hard for it’s members.
– Hijo del Santo says it was Durango Kid who sent border security of him. Huh. Santo also says Durango is illegally in the US from Puerto Rico (which is actually part of the US so I think he’s good – I didn’t need a passport when I went there.) He also congrulated Dr. Wagner for standing up for what he believes.

– history of Tatsumi Fujinama‘s time in Mexico.

– profile of a lucha libre school in Tampico

– Nicho talks about his three year contract. Since when are their contracts? (WWE does three year contracts, so I guess that’s the idea we’re supposed to be getting here.)
