In the never-ending saga of “Freelance said what about Bam Bam and Mascarita Dorada?”, Box Y Lucha retorts Freelance’s retort by posting the audio of the interview! That’s the way to do it. I wish I still cared about this enough to listen to it.
Other Box Y Lucha Articles
– Rosa Negra talk about her return to CMLL. I like to think I am fan of Rosa Negra, and I had no idea she was actually gone. She was, for three months and says she went back to the gym to get better to make a bigger run in 2009. Rosa Negra mentions she’s maried to Enemigo Publico, who was a CMLL undercarder in the late 99s and early 00s before retiring due to an injury in training. Rosa also mentions she had a different name long ago but doesn’t want to reveal it. One of my favorite weird stories about the luchawiki is we actually had this identity on there, on Rosa Negra’s profile, because she mentioned in an interview with (the much missed) el Halcon net web magazine. Except, months later, I went to look it up for something else, and that information had vanished. So weird.
– Dos Caras Jr. wants it clear that only HE was offered a contract by WWE. How he would know this is beyond me; Dos is probably correct (except they did give tryouts to others), but WWE wouldn’t necessarily tell him this. Dos reveals he can speak English and Portuguese and mentions he had two offers from NJPW last year (which I would imagine is more coming over for a tour than full time, but who knows.)
– Following up on that piece, Box Y Lucha also has a good piece asking why are there no Mexicans left in WWE?. These type of articles tend to be “well, WWE sucks and Mexico is clearly more awesome (and also we’re not counting Misterio as Mexican this week)” bits, but this one is more serious, talking to Super Crazy and Juvi about their issues there. Crazy says the problem for him, and the problem Dos probably had, was that it’s tough to be a top guy in Mexico and then be slotted at the bottom in WWE. Crazy would advise people to go, but if they don’t like how it’s going in a year’s time, it’s time to get out. Juvi emphasizes that you’ve got to speak fluently English, or you won’t have any security.
– Black Warrior talks about his rough upbringing.
– newly retired referee Fresero talks about meeting Andre the Giant
– Villano III talks about accidently instigating a huge fight by using the women’s bathroom (the men’s one was broke and it’s a fun story.)

This was your recap of the Rosa Negra interview with El Halcón:
“El Halcon #64 is up. Inside
-Interview with Rosa Negra. She explains that she was someone else (who was unmasked) before taking this gimmick, but doesn’t say who – just that she went to Japan in the old identity and would like to go back under the new one. She’s been trained by Charrito de Oro and Maria del Angel. She was inspired to become a wrestler by Irma Gonzalez and Lola Gonzalez. Rosa Negra has no trademark move yet, but she’s working on inventing one. Outside the ring, she’s married and has 4 kids.”
So, she didn’t mention the name there.
I think there was another interview even before that one. Hmmm.
@thecubsfan: but looking thru even the secret back end search won’t find any post about. Surely I would’ve wrote about a Rosa Negra interview here and not just the blog (unless it came out early enough that I wasn’t doing the blog.)
I don’t think you ever figured out who she was b/c we spoke about it in e-mail.
