IWRG (THU) 06/19 Arena Naucalpan [superluchas]
1) Rockero del Diablo b Eragon
2) Trauma I & Trauma II b Bugambilia & Miss Gavitoa
3) Capitán Muerte, Karloff Lagarde Jr., Xibalva b Chico Che, Freelance, Zatura
4) Centauro, el Hijo Del Anibal, Rayman DQ Máscara Año 2000, Ricky Cruzz, Universo 2000
5) El Dandy b Pantera [hair]
Big news from the show was that semifinal DQ – Scorpio Jr. and Guapito running in to attack the tecnicos. Decnnis posed with the back stage, so add him to the list of jumpers. The group (including Zumbido) will now be called Los Guapos Inc. AAA apparently owns “Guapos VIP”, though Scorpio says only he and Shocker have the right to start Guapos group.
Pantera took the first fall of the main event, but Dandy took the second and appeared to use a foreign object to take the third.

– the stamps honoring Santo and el Hijo del Santo came out this week. In Universal, Hijo del Santo says he figured all six stamps would be of his father, and was surprised to find out they wanted to do half of them with him. The six stamps go on sale today for 150 pesos ($15.60 US) – though it seems like I get different prices in different articles. There’s also a Santo exhibition at the main post office. This story got picked up everywhere
– Hector Garza is feuding with Tigre Hispano. Who knew? Not me. Tiger Hispano has now had more feuds than Olimpico has had in the last three years.
– The Casas Brothers also want a shot at Hector Garza’s CMLL Trios titles. Guerreros and Perros have already made challenge. When asked which Perro he’d like to face in a hair match, Negro Casas picks Damian 666. Well, that’s sensible if not tough.
– What can you get out of Silver King’s intro with AAA? He’s definitely going back to wearing a mask. I wonder how Santo feels about that.
– hype for tonight’s Tijuana show. Main is Demon/Rayo vs Cien Jr./Park. The article talk about LA park having face such people as Goldberg and Hulk Hogan – I don’t remember that Hogan match.
– El Sol de Zacatecas has a bio of young local wrestler El Cabo de la Muerte.
– Record #2 has Dr. Wagner Jr. on the cover.
