Ovaciones has it’s preview on page 18 (look, I can link to pages now.) NotiMex has an equally generic preview. ESTO has bios on all three guys and the rest of the card..
I’ve got Heavy over Toscano and Averno & Mephisto getting the tag team titles. They really need clean finishes but I’m not expecting them. The whole deal about getting different referees for this match hasn’t been brought up in weeks, but I expect it’ll play in.
Note there was no CMLL/TNA press conference yesterday. Until it actually happens, it hasn’t happened.
The Villanos press conference to announce their website was covered all over the place. The site is www.dinastiaimperial.com.mx, and has music playing on the main page if you’ve got your speakers up. Right now, it appears to be only bios of the Villanos and Ringo, which makes the talk about interacting with the fans a bit odd – there’s not even an email address on the website. Ovaciones had an article about the press conference, and there’s a similar one on Notimex. III, IV and V are supposed to team up next Friday in Arena Mexico.
MedioTiempo says Charly Manson’s fractured femur was the same one he broke in 2001, in the bump off the ladder gone very bad. They put in four bolts and a plate to unite the broken leg.
Mr. Reyes posted photos of last night’s IWRG taping. Results will be in the next Gladiatores.
SuperLuchas notes Mascara Sagrada’s new look. Not sure why he’d get a new one after having a court battle to keep the old image.
AAA RAMS (SUN) 05/25 Gimnasio Ricardo Flores Magon [Noticas Oaxaca]
1) Argenis & Pathfinder vs Silver Cat & Toxico
2) Mascarita Sagrada 2007 & Mini Dizzy vs Jerrito Estrada & Mini Ozz
3) Laredo Kid & Super Fly vs Chris Stone & Super Calo
4) Juventud Guerrera & Ultimo Gladiador vs Black Abyss & Histeria
5) Scorpio Jr. vs Silver Cat, La Chiva, Mr. Niebla, Oriental, Super AAA [hair, mask]
6) Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz vs ?, El Elegido, Intocable
This is actually only half the card – there’s supposed to be “more than 10 fights and two rings”.

1) Thunder Boy vs Ebola
2) Oro II & Virgo vs Danger (Guadalajara) & Valentin Mayo

6) Atlantis & Universo 2000 vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Texano Jr.
I like how they’re sending Vaneglis on the road, but GDL has so little faith in him that they’re putting him in a locals match and bumping Mr. Trueno up.
