Panther hurt, those leaving AAA today, Titanes en el Ring

CMLL (TUE) 10/06 Arena Mexico [ESTO]
2) Estrella Mágica, Lady Apache, Star Fire b Hiroka, La Seductora, Princesa Blanca
3) Arkangel de la Muerte, Nitro, Skándalo b Flash, Rey Cometa, Tigre Blanco
4) Felino, Heavy Metal, Misterioso II b Máximo, Rouge, Stuka Jr.
5) Ray Mendoza Jr., Terrible, Texano Jr. b Blue Panther, Shocker, Toscano

Panther was hurt in the second fall, hitting a turnbuckle on a corner tope and landing badly on the loor.

Tigre Blanco replaced Pegasso, which may be more to set up the mask match than anything with Pegasso.

Lady Apache demanded a title shot at Blanca after winning that trios match. Given the crew she had, Apache earned that title match for pulling out that win.

Tecnicos won clean in the main. Neutron was sterchered out of his match. DQ in the tercera was for Magica and Satanico taking both tecnicos’ masks.

And now, people who are no longer in AAA:

– AAA says Groon XXX is gone. If it was his call, Groon XXX is a genius. He got put over on TV for a few weeks and got out before he had to lose. Way to go. If it was AAA’s call, because they just figured out he’s not very good, they need new people in charge. Anyway, points to luchalibreaaa.com for scooping everyone else about something leaving their company. You think I’m being sarcastic, but this is an unusual positive achievement for them.

Something to remember Groon XXX by:

– Tirantes Sr., who tells the Gladiatores that he doesn’t want to say anything bad about AAA because his family still works there, but also “they violated my rights as a human being.” Tirantes says he could go home to Xalapa and not have to be involved in wrestling again, but he loves wrestling so much, he decided to join the Perros

– WagnerMania and LuchandoLibre talked to Charly Manson about his departure. This actually went up a day or two ago, but I didn’t post it because I lost track of which Charly Manson interviews I’d posted. There’s been a few. Anyway, Charly appears to have the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship nailed to his wall, which seems like an odd use.

These are all no problems, because X-Pac is coming back. For the third time.

An exhibtion of Rosalio Vera’s lucha photography opened last night in Gallery Jose Clemente Orozoco in UNAM. It’s in support of the CMLL 101 Llaves and Lances book, featuring his artwork. They let Sangre Azteca help cut the ribbon, and it’s slightly disappointing he did not use them to attack Mascara Dorada. Also, No Limit & Okumura were there, clearly stealing the secrets of Mexican wrestling to defeat Black Warrior. So sad. If you want to steal the secrets of lucha libre, the exhibit runs thru the 30th.

In Argentina, Gengis Khan of the original Titanes en el Ring promotions passed away. Another retired wrestler of the group, Oscar Demelli (who says he played the Mummy but was not the famous one), is using the extra attention to complain about the lack of promised retirement money due to him and the rest of the wrestlers. He’s suing Martin Karadajian’s daughter, and may be totally in the the right, but very much comes off like a paranoid unhinged man. He was held in jail after threatening Argentina’s president for not making the Karadajains pay up, but claims he’s been getting anonymous threatening messages from shadowy people.

Guadalajara’s Guero Loco, just back from a right knee injury, hurt his right knee. They’re hoping he just needed more rehab time, but surgery is possible

Chronicles y Leyenda de Lucha Libre looks back to Jushin Liger’s first trip to Mexico, in 1989.

DJ Spectro’s blog profiles local wrestler Slayer, while Estrellas del Ring writes about Demonio Negro.

Luchas 2000 #490 has results from Heroes de Imortales, including Joaquin Roldan saying AAA owns the name ‘Charly Manson’ and will not let him use it elsewhere.
