It occurred to me that I hadn’t done the show with Rosa/Marcela, and as one of the five people who might care, I ought to track it down.
– Rosa Negra vs Marcela in a mask vs hair match (and part 2): And, on second thought, I didn’t really need to. I guess it actually was worth knowing this match wasn’t anything special. Better than most Good Women Trying To Carry A Bad Women To A Decent Match (or any of Leono’s big matches), but not what the actual good match I thought it could be.
Not totally sure it was due to the injuries, because Rosa was kinda of exposed as a good trios wrestler who didn’t have much offense to carry a beatdown in a singles match. (Maybe if they gave her more than one singles match, they could’ve worked on fixing that.) Still, Rosa’s injury seemed to end the match minutes early, which is a shame, and hopefully they’ll get another try at this someday. I’m still not sure what the actual deal with Marcela’s injury; if it was as bad as they were making it out, then it was really odd for Rosa to work the back for the rest of the match, but Marcela was in clear pain either way. The missed dive looked planned, but Marcela just landed a little worse than expected.

Have a father and son ever faced each other in a mask or hair match? Ever been talk of it?

Wow, that mask match was a war. Probably b/c it actaully was with both women nearly dying.:P Did I hear wrong or did the announcers actually say that Rosa Negra used to wrestle as Lady Connors? They also said she used to wrestle a lot in Japan (Lady Connors may have…), she beat Briosa in a stip match (doesn’t add up) and Charrito De Oro trained her (Maria Del Angel?).
Would someone PLEASE interview her and just ask her who she used to be?
