top 6 stories for the last two weeks

  1. Mistico turned rudo (at least where Volador was involved), still got beat by Volador two straight weeks. As easy a pick for #1 as there is. Crowds have picked up in response to this feud – maybe 60% and 70% attendance the last two Friday nights, and a much higher than usual attendance for their Guadalajara match. Both matches have been well received. It’s not clear what’s next, but it is clear that Mistico has a great evil laugh.
  2. Atlantis & Mascara Dorada, representing Guadalajara schools, won the National Parajes Increidble tournament over Negro Casas & La Mascara. The winners got a trophy, and maybe a paid vacation given how little they’ve been around since there. The tournament seems to have been a success.
  3. Over the course of a couple TV tapings, Electro Shock seems to have added himself to Latin Lover/Mesias the Rey de Reyes main event, picking up main event wins and demanding to be included. It’s still not official, but it seems like a metter of time. Electroshock seems to have broken away from the WagnerManiacos, though he still is booked with them.
  4. Other Rey de Reyes matches appear to be Alex Koslov vs Xtreme Tiger for the Cruiserweight Title and Cibernetico vs Konnan, both essentially rematches from the last major show.
  5. Lasser Boy, the new star from AAA’s new movie, made his debut. It was edited down into a short segment on TV.
  6. Black Warrior (and Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.) has been advertised for AAA shows later this month, though he hasn’t turned up in AAA itself.
