SuperLuchas has a good post explaining the Guapos situation:
– Scorpio Jr. initiated the jump. He’d wanted a pay raise for himself and his partners as well as more TV exposure. AAA responded with a deal for more for Scorpio but not his guys and not more TV. The group decided to jump.
– Decnnis’ plan was to go from IWRG to CMLL, but quickly got cold feet on the whole thing.
– Guapito worked IWRG this past Sunday only because he was convinced by Scorpio that he had committed to that date, but wanted to get back in AAA all along and probably didn’t mention that to Scorpio. He probably should’ve made it clear to all that he just was working the one date. Both Guapito and Decnnis have only worked AAA in their career and appear hesitant to take the risk of something new.
– Zumbido’s gone to CMLL’s offices to look to jump there. Five other (unnamed) AAA wrestlers have done the same in recent days and been rejected, but Zumbido’s history in CMLL probably gives him a better chance.
The latest Wrestling Observer (cover date July 1) says Averno & Volador did NOT yet receive visas, so that’s why they weren’t on the TNA shows. They’re expecting to get them done by the end of the week and be fine for the PPV.
Hoy Internet has an interview with Canek. Strangely, the article says Canek started training 13, and debuted in Palacio del Deportes at 17. I guess he’s trying to shave some years off his age. He keeps his feud going with Dr. Wagner by accusing him of copying his mask and catchphrase.

The UMLL/Todos x el Todos group is doing lots of promotion for their shows in London (next week) and Spain (this week). They might draw pretty well on the novelty of the concept.
RPP Noticias writes about a promotion starting up in Peru on 06/28. They spend more time talking about the history of wrestling than the actual promotion.
Box Y Lucha’s board is down. So is DVDVR’s, again.
