CMLL officially announced it’s annual bodybuilding concest for 11/25. For the first time, it’ll be open to the public – free for anyone who has two ticket stubs from this month.
CMLL notes the 11/15 (Sunday) show is a Fan Appreciation show, right above a note about Okumura/Maximo (Sunday) feud. HMMMM.
Previews for tonight’s Arena Mexico show
– ESTO – hyping Dorada making it to the main event
– Ovaciones – focusing on Mephisto vs Naito
Fuego en el Ring has a long interview with Mistico, though there’s not a lot of news there. A lot talking about wanting revenge for Sunday’s cheap loss to Ultimo Guerrero and facing Negro Casas again. Mistico is leaving to Japan on Friday, and really wants to wrestle in the US for someone in 2010. Mistico says he probably won’t be teaming up with Sombra & Volador again until late this year, because they’re just busy. And this is why tecnico groups never get over.
Speaking of Japan, Strong Man won his IGF match in 3 minutes today. (Purolove.com)
AAA looks back at monsters of AAA. Oddly, this time they acknowledge La Parka Jr. used to be Karis La Momia. It’s a coin flip. They also mention Luzbel = Gronda II and kinda bury Rellik.
Ozz is replacing Sugi on all of his announced spot show appearances. Sugi is back in Japan now, though I’m not sure if he’s gotten his knee operation.
Ovaciones has the teams for Thursday’s ruleta de muerte. Maybe SuperLuchas had them earlier, but I didn’t grasp it then. Anyway:
– Hijo del Pirata Morgan & Oficial AK47
– Pendulo & Barba Roja
– Gringo Loco & Chico Che
– Hijo del Diablo & Zatura
– Ultraman Jr. & Arlequin Negro
– Miss Gaviota & Capitan Muerte
– Eragon & Menfis
– Exodia & Cerebro Negro
I would be surprised if the first duo were to meet at the end. Not really with any of the other ones. Kinda hope they’re not just running a tournament to give Ultraman Jr. Off All People a mask win, but he is the one teaming with the guy who’s debuting (or misspelled) in this match.
Luchando Libre argues lucha fans will always by tickets to see legends, so CMLL bringing back Brazo de Plata is a good move to bring in fans. There’s also the argument, which Porky himself has made, that Brazo de Plata can teach the newer wrestlers in the art of lucha libre. I was going to write a big post about Porky and talent vs skill, but then I figured the ballots have been filled and the totals will be in soon enough, and plus I rather spend that time writing about baseball. However, just one thing: in the three years Porky was with AAA, which young wrestlers did he make better?
Combining the last two items, Cesar wonders if CMLL is planning to go after more kids in 2010. Cesar also previews this Friday’s card, noting Mr. Niebla is returning from a discipline suspension, and last week’s lighting match is the last one they’ll do this year.
Tinieblas Jr. is telling people he will work with CMLL in November. I would not take this seriously unless CMLL says it.
Seems a little bit earlier, but year end awards are turning up. The Mayor of Tamaulipas, who really should have better things to do, presented awards to local wrestlers
– Fuego Latino (champion of champions)
– Comando Extremo & Rocker Boy (best team)
– Turako, Black Power, Red Dragon (best trio)
