good champs, ugly belts/Ovaciones
CMLL.com confirms they’re starting a one hour news show on Canal52, airing on Saturday’s and Sundays. This is great news for the 3 people who still get that station. They promise exclusive information, which will probably stay exclusive given the possible viewership. I shall now accept the award for most bitter paragraph ever.
Cesar @ box y lucha says Zumbido has signed with CMLL and is just waiting for his start date, and India Sioux is looking to return.

5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Sagrado b Damián 666, Mr. Águila, Texano Jr.
6) Atlantis b Shocker [NWA LH]
Shocker took the first fall of his title match (via STF!), Atlantis won the second with a feet on the ropes pin (the GdA Title Match Special), and Atlantis took the third clean with the Atlantida for his 11th defense. Ovaciones says the match was good. Same sequence of falls for the Coliseo Tag match – Infernales took fall 1, maybeLosAngeles took falls 2 and 3 to win the mythical yet ugly belts.
Marco Corelone was here, which makes it tough for him to be in Irapuato.
Nitro replaced Okumura, and Satanicio pinned Shadow with the ropes. Luna Magica replaced Lady Apache and Medusa replaced Mima. Cholo remains perfect.

Damian’s life has totally been leading up to the moment where he can finally become Western Light Heavyweight champion. For sure.
Box Y Lucha #2877 has a cover shot of Mr. Niebla going after Wagner. There’s also teases of a Rey Cometa anti-AAA interview and Zumbido and Scorpio calling their (former) teammates cowards. Sounds like a fun time.
DTU posted a video promo for their next show and hypes their article in the latest Record. You all know how I feel about the DTU matches, but their site is a lot easier to track than any other one, so they’re getting all the links they want. (Is a RSS feed so much to ask?)
A policeman charged with excessive violence is said to have gone all “Hijo de Perro Aguayo” on the victim. A double stomp must’ve been involved.
Ohtani’s Jacket writes about Santo & Negro from Tijuana in ’91, Kahos & Engendro vs El Celestial & El Coloso in ’92 UWA, and Villano III vs Negro Casas from last year.
