A poster on the SML board says AAA is about to hold a contest to determine a new Abismo Negro. They make it sound like it’d be between current AAA wrestlers and name Argos, Argnis, Mortiz, Drago and Semental as being half the field in a talent selection contest. This seems iffy at best to me; they’re no chance Drago is not going to be Drago going forward for one. ( I wonder if this may just be some confusion with the Quein Por la Para Corona contest, but the poster’s previous threads indicate he does know some things going in CMLL. This is also a story that’s only the top one on a slow day.) When Abismo Negro passed away, AAA was definite in that no one would take over the name to replace the original.
Ultimo Guerrero talks about his remixed group and says he has no interest in Hector Garza’s hair, but would like Atlantis mask. Maybe a relevos suicidas? Maybe a cage? Maybe we should probably know this already? That one.
For his part, Atlantis says he’s not facing Ultimo Guerrero in a mask match at the Anniversary show.
Perro Aguayo Jr. challenged AAA to a “winner gets both companies” match. That is not a good deal for AAA, they’d need to get like AAA vs Perros del Mal, DTU, IWL and the Villano Gym to begin to make that equal.
There was a wallpaper of Estrellita with a Heroes Inmortales in AAA’s Facebook photo section at some point. Don’t see it now. I am not on Facebook (catchphrase) but I believe anyone can add their photos to your photo section if you just tag that person in it (depending on security permissions), and that appears to be what this was. This means less than nothing.
Los Traumas tell MT that they they decided not to use Negro Navarro Jr/Hijo de Negro Navarro because they didn’t want to be horrible and damage the name their father had built up. I bet that story is true, but the kids weren’t the ones who were concerned. Negro did come up with a name when Trauma when one was needed as a fill in, though it might have been inspired by a pirate movie.
Kind of funny to have El Hijo del Santo protesting a film that includes both nude women and his father, and also appearing on a Lucha Va Voom show. By funny, I mean “totally hypocritical, though Lucha Va Voom is still great.”

The other thing about the Abismo Negro business is Aerostar is using the aerosol can fire trick and occasionally wearing an Abismo Negro themed mask in tribute to the guy who trained him. Unless you’re setting up a feud with him and the new guy, it doesn’t make sense to have a new guy.
You are right about the Facebook thing cubs. Sometimes folks don’t make it obvious that the pic is coming from someone else.
They could just let Aerostar be the new Abismo Negro instead of holding a contest.
What Lucha Va Voom show did Santo work? And why in the heck doesn’t Lucha Va Voom sell DVDs?
@Phil: @Phil: Last week’s show.
@Fredo – I have never been to or part of a LVV show, but it seems to be a very fan-interactive type of show… how well would that translate to DVD, especially if poorly produced?
@thecubsfan: You’re 100% on the money. AAA would never do anything that didn’t make sense.
It was so long ago I was actually at a Lucha VaVoom show but from what I remember the people who put the shows on seem to be operating under the business model that the not-strippers are the real show and the Lucha Libre is just the sideshow. So it wouldn’t make sense for them to focus any effort into producing anything related to the lower act on the show.
Speaking of new Abismo Negro’s, whatever happened to the Black Abyss going to CMLL rumors? Did he retire already?
I hope we see New Albrieje before New Abismo Negro.
Freelance vs Silencio vs Mike Segura vs Samurai de Sol vs Daga vs (insert joke here) sounds like an awesome match.
Perros also called the December show their anniversary show. Not sure what the Clowns cage match was then. Oh well, at least they seem to remember when their actual anniversary is now.
@Nikita: I think it would do well on dvd. Its still far more enjoyable to watch it live. I don’t know what the places were like outside of LA, but here in LA they run the Mayan and that alone really makes it a fun atmosphere.
