07/10: Damian 666/WWE, notes

Damian 666 confirmed he did a tryout match for WWE a few weeks ago. WWE talked about using him and Mr. Aguila as a rudo team on the ECW show, but he’s waiting to hear back about what they’re going to offer financially. He’s happy with CMLL and it doesn’t sound like he’d go unless it was a big raise in pay. Damian says he was nervous for his tryout match – it was before the crowd was let in, so you only had the wrestlers around watching it – but he thought he did well.

(Reforma via Jazzo) La Nazi wants a hair match with Marcela. That’s probably not a smart idea.

Metalik is surprised (and thrilled) he got invited on the CMLL Spain tour.

Mistico, Satanico, Perro Jr. and Marco will all appear in Kumbia Zero’s “Me Estoy Enamorando” music video. They’re one of the groups performing on Thursday.

Ovaciones has the same “Hector Garza likes his chances to keep the title” story that appeared in other articles yesterday.

Box Y Lucha #2878 has Negro Casas pinning Dr. Wagner, in case you don’t know where this feud is going. Steve Sims was good about this on yesterday’s Figure Four Daily. There’s some other things from that appearance which deserve a post on it’s own later.

If you scroll down the Box Y Lucha headlines after the cover shot, there’s ““Me voy indignado de Triple A”: Pegasso”. Add HIM to the list of rumored departures.

Box Y Lucha talks to a political commentator from Milenio about lucha libre I didn’t check out the video, but the article’s good stuff. He thinks Mistico’s problem is being over marketed – more by outsiders wanting to use his image to sell their stuff – but is a product of the times and probably would be a multi-millionaire in a country with more advanced marketing.

The Gladiatores is taking a week (or two) off for a site redesign. That’s smarter than how I did it, for sure.

Some newspaper coverage lists lucha libre on this year’s Warped tour, but I think they’re just looking at last year’s info. As far as I can tell, there’s no one working the show this year.
