Cibernetico, Parka and Joaquin were on a talk show discussing the current storyline. Ciber says he didn’t mean to hurt La Parka’s kid, but he’s not Mr. Rogers and the kid is dumber than Cibernetico’s dog. Parka yelled angrily. Cibernetico offered a match where the winner of the match would get Parka’s kid for a month. Why would either man want to do that? Parka noted that the last time they had a match with stakes on the line, it went very poorly for Cibernetico.

Mistico

A Japanese lucha libre photograph says Mistico told him in September that he was learning English in preparation for going to WWE. Mistico had talked to WWE before the Tokyo Dome card was announced, and that’s why he wasn’t on the card. The photographer knew Mistico was going to WWE in mid-January and wasn’t expecting Mistico to actually make the Japan tour, but he did.

Mistico

CMLL had people claiming Mistico was staying, but he did sign the WWE contract last Tuesday. It is possible Mistico might be telling people what they need to hear to get them off his back, but it’s also possible people may just be making stuff up. CMLL is expected to hold a press conference next week.

On today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said Mistico will start in FCW in February probably the middle of the month. Mistico has been told he’d be there just a couple months. Dos was told similar things. Mistico still needs to learn English. The podcast talking about this is free – it’s over here – but it’s only a short bit about 45 minutes in.

I had previously heard talk Mistico was in Florida this past week, figuring out living arrangements; I had expected this whole story to come out when someone in FCW accidentally leaked it.

Box Y Lucha #3011 asks if Mistico is going to WWE.

Cesar says CMLL’s direction of pushing young new stars in 2010 was the right move, giving them options without Mistico, and need to keep focusing on the young guys and not quick fix old men. Though, a reason Mistico left is because they were pushing new stars.

Dos Caras Jr.

Prometo wants to claim Dos Caras Jr. as an AAA original. You know, I’ve always thought of CM Punk as a creation of the Lunatic Wrestling Federation. More interesting: the indy/LLUSA Octagoncito has apparently been renting out his suit to many people.

Cesar is angry CMLL has been so busy telling non-truths about Mistico that they haven’t tried to take credit for Dos Caras winning the Royal Rumble. Does Guadalajara boast off of Chicharito’s success? I have no idea.

Cinco Radio‘s been covering these shows lately, and their recaps usually include a quote about the matches or other feuds. There’s an obvious topic to talk about today, but there’s no article this week (despite the finish of the  main event being listed in their news wire.)

AULL Tag Champs Chucho el Roto and Iron Love will defend their titles vs DTU’s Aeroboy & Violento Jack next Sunday in Arena Coliseo Tulancingo. Chucho & Love actually won a non-title match over the DTU team this weekend in the same arena. The two teams may also meet tomorrow in the UWE tag title tournament
