Month: March 2015

AAA (SUN) 03/29/2015 Arena Solidaridad, Monterrey, Nuevo León [LuchaMania Monterrey]
1) Mr. Olimpo b Red Flammer, Demonio del Caribe, Lethal, Mercenario, Solovino, Orquídea Negra, Koko Viper, Gato Fantasma, Infinito, Silver Geminis, Tigre Veracruzano, Red Fury [Copa Hijo del Perro Aguayo]
2) Corazón de Barrio, El Divo, Panthro DQ Memo Valles, Potro Jr., Vaquero Romo
Koko Viper ran in for the DQ.
3) Mascarita Sagrada & Octagoncito DQ Mini Abismo Negro & Mini Charly Manson
The undercard wrestlers had complained the ropes were too tight, but nothing was done until top rope broke early in this match (causing a delay.) Mini Abismo stripped Sagrada’s mask and Copetes (who had been favoring the rudos) called the DQ.
4) Faby Apache, Mary Apache, Pimpinela Escarlata b Mamba, Sexy Star, Taya Valkyrie
Mary Apache & Lady Maravilla replaced Pimpinela & and the mystery woman. Pimpinela is out due to a knee injury but appeared to apologize.
5) Parka Negra & Pentagón Jr. b Angélico & Jack Evans
Pentagon came out with Taya to the Perros del Mal music before the match, and that led into a Perro Aguayo tribute with Alberto, Cibernetico, Mesias and Blue Demon. Pentagon used a Perro Driver to beat Angelico.
6) Averno, Chessman, Cibernético b Monsther Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown
Cibernetico snuck in a foul Psycho Clown
7) Blue Demon Jr., El Patrón Alberto, La Parka b El Mesías, Texano Jr., Zorro
Mesias switched sides to replace Perro Aguayo, with Demon taking Mesias’ spot. Alberto beat Texano.

LuchaMania Monterrey notes there was an increased medical presence at this show too, even extending to matches being paused when it looked like someone might be actually hurt (but never turned out to be.)

IWRG (SUN) 03/29/2015 Arena Naucalpan [IWRG]
1) Hip Hop Man b Araña de Plata, Atomik Star, Alas de Acero, Aeroman
Hip Hop Man beat Arana de Plata.
2) Diva Salvaje, Estrella Divina, Miss Gaviota b Apolo Estrada Jr., Avisman, Liderk [lumberjack strap]
Diva snuck in a foul on Liderk in revenge for a previous match.
3) Chicano & Danny Casas © b Rayan & Spector [IWRG IC TAG]
Rayan & Spector previously won a #1 contenders match. Champs took 1/3, with Casas beating Rayan & Spectro after Chicano was eliminated. Chicano & Casas’ 2nd defense.
4) Veneno b Hijo de Pirata Morgan © [IWRG IC MIDDLE]
Veneno took 2/3, winning clean with a top rope senton. Pirata falls on his 4th defense. Money thrown in.
5) Negro Navarro & Pirata Morgan b Hijo De Dos Caras & Máscara Sagrada
Rudos took 2/3, despite Navarro & Pirata not getting along early. Navarro submitted Dos, wants a title shot.

Hijo de Pirata losing his title in preparation for being with AAA more often, I’d guess. Veneno is an odd person to win but he’s over and IWRG titles don’t really matter so why not.

CMLL (MON) 03/30/2015 Arena Puebla [Periodico Enfoque]
1) Disturbio, Espíritu Maligno, Inquisidor b Asturiano, Paris, Rey Samuray
2) Dark Angel, La Vaquerita, Syuri b La Seductora, Skadi, Tiffany
Skadi’s randomly a ruda now (or at least for this match)
3) Stigma, Stuka Jr., Tritón b Puma, Sagrado, Tiger
4) Ángel de Oro, Atlantis, Blue Panther b Ephesto, Mephisto, Shocker
Blue Panther replaced Dragon Rojo Jr.
5) Rush, Valiente, Volador Jr. b Kráneo, Negro Casas, Rey Escorpión
Rush and Volador did not get along, but Rush still beat Casas. Kraneo replaced Thunder.

At least according to this picture, they’re now letting any kid under 8 into Arena Puebla free with a paying adult. There’s a sign in Puebla indicating kid’s get in free, but they’re apparently not actually allowing that.

I’m confused about what’s going on with Alberto and Cage in San Luis Potosi. A newspaper story on the AAA press conference said the missing singles match from Rey de Reyes would take place here. The headline for AAA’s article says that thing, but the body of the article says Cage is in the trios match and implies Alberto is not wrestling. (The versions of that article sent to other sites changed the headline from “Alberto versus Cage” to “Alberto and Cage”.) They’re both on the show, that I know. AAA’s trying to do things for this show they wouldn’t have otherwise done because it’s now honoring Perro Aguayo Jr., and maybe wires are just crossed about what they’re adding.

CMLL’s preview for tonight’s Arena Mexico has La Mascara in Dragon Rojo’s spot. Also, Guerrero Maya is mentioned in Dragon Lee’s spot in the semimain. That match – Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Triton vs Tiger, Puma and Kamaitachi – has the most promise of any match on the card.

Mr. Niebla isn’t coming back quietly; CMLL’s promoting his latest return from their secret suspension list. Mr. Niebla says he’s been in the gutter for a long time, so he’s back smellier than ever. Niebla’s interview focuses on CMLL suddenly having a lot of four man teams – Peste Negra, Ingobernables, Guerreros Laguneros and TRT. That would seem to suggest Tiger is still in TRT according to the press department, even though the programming department seems to think differently (he hasn’t teamed with them since August.) Niebla accurately notes CMLL doesn’t actually book atomico  (4v4) matches.

Mr. Niebla & Toscano also appeared on video to denounce a promoter in Zapotitlan for advertising them for shows they never agreed upon. Niebla says he and Toscano are professionals and would not miss shows they’ve actually said they’ll attend.

LuchaWorld has this week’s Poster-Mania and Monday’s KrisZ’s news update.

Lineups

IWRG (SUN) 04/05/2015 Arena Naucalpan
1) Dragón Celestial © vs Hip Hop Man [AIWA ARGENTINA CRUISER]
First defense
2) Leo, Mike, Rafy, Teelo vs Apolo Estrada Jr., Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Electro Boy
3) 1 vs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, Ricky Cruz [Rey del Ring]

As common with the IWRG Rey del Ring, the actual list of participants aren’t announced ahead of time. They did announce Ricky Cruz as coming back for it, so I’ve put him in there.

That title is the one Dragon Celestial won from Hip Hop Man back in August. I don’t think he’s defended it since, but he’s worn it to the ring a few times.

CMLL (MON) 04/06/2015 Arena Puebla
1) Black Tiger & Zaeta Roja vs Ares & Hijo del Signo
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Starman, Súper Halcón Jr. vs King Jaguar, Policeman, Toro Bill Jr.
3) Marcela vs Syuri [lightning]
4) Ángel de Oro, Stigma, Stuka Jr. vs Bárbaro Cavernario, Gran Guerrero, Pólvora
5) Marco Corleone, Máximo, Rush vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Vangellys
6) Mistico, Valiente, Volador Jr. vs Euforia, Shocker, Último Guerrero

Marcela is the ruda Syuri’s defending against? My unwavering belief in Marcela causes me to be sad there’s no chance we’ll see it. Main event is Sky Team vs Guerreros/Shocker.

No IWRG results this morning. Not much news.

AAA officially announced Alberto el Patron would appear on Wednesday’s TV taping, which will now honor Perro Aguayo Jr. Rey Misterio Jr. has said to be appearing previously. Update: an article on the press conference to announce the show says Alberto vs Cage will now take place in San Luis Potosi. Mesias will take Perro Aguayo Jr.’s spot in the main event; he figured to be the mystery guy in the main event, and they’re not saying who the mystery guy is. They also did not officially announce Rey Jr. as appearing on the show, but hinted he would be there.

El Sol del Toluca talks to Kahoz, who was in the ring with Oro when he suffered his fatal injury. Kahoz is Mephisto’s father, though that’s not mentioned here. They do say he’s driving a taxi now. Kahoz says Oro’s death was the beginning of the end of his career, as it hurt him mentally badly. He complains about luchador being under paid – even telling a story about being brought to Veracruz for a show and the luchadors going fishing since they had no breakfast – but also said he’d do it again.

Another version of the previous interview with Dr. Zavaleta of the Mexico City commission mentions Perro Aguayo Jr.’s license test specifically includes a EKG and laboratory tests. Those would check for heart conditions but not necessarily neck damage.

El Miktlan of el Pancracio observed that there was an increased medical presence at lucha libre shows in Mexico City this weekend.

Terrible took part in a moment honoring Perro Aguayo Jr. on a show Puebla this weekend.

Lucha Underground’s announced their April taping schedule: they’ll be filming the 11th & 12th, and the 17th and 18th. That will finish off the first 39 episode for the first season and take them thru August. It’s likely they won’t be taping again until September (assuming they get picked up again.)

Black Terry Jr. has a lot of photos of last night’s CaraLuchas show. He’s also got highlight of Rayo Star vs Skystar.

AULL has a video explaining who their champions are, which puts them one step ahead most every indy promotion.

Matt D of Segunda Caida watched the first Rey Hechicero/Charles Lucero singles match.

CMLL (FRI) 03/27/2015 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL]
1) El Piraña b Explosivo
Explosivo was hurt and needed medical help
2) Demonio Rojo & Relampago b El Tapatío & Meteoro
3) Metatrón & Virgo DQ Pitbull I & Pitbull II
Pitbulls unmasked Metatron for the DQ.
4) Esfinge, Gallo, Magnum b Great Eku, Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno
5) Sádico L Omar Brunetti, Pepe Aguayo, Javier Cruz Jr., Jocker, Maléfico, Leo, Évola [hair, cage]
Everyone in for five minutes. Match came down to Omar, Saidco and Jocker, with Omar escapring and leaving a rudo vs rudo match to everyone’s surprise. Jocker used a piledriver variant to beat Sadico and take his hair.

Pepe Aguayo didn’t figure into the finish.

CMLL (SAT) 03/28/2015 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Leono DQ Cholo
Cholo fouled Leono
2) Akuma b Robin
3) Metálico b Soberano Jr.
4) Nitro b Star Jr.
5) Arkángel de la Muerte b Tritón
A Reyna Isis distraction set up the win.
6) Blue Panther Jr. & The Panther b Sangre Azteca & Tiger
7) Misterioso Jr., Ripper, Sagrado b Ángel de Oro, Fuego, Mistico
Ripper pulled Mistico’s mask and cradled him for the win.

The Sabado Retros shows do not have intro music for the wrestlers. It doesn’t even look like they have the speakers next to the entrance door as they did before, but they still have the small end tables where the speakers sat before. Ripper attacked Mistico prior to the match and gave him a face smash into one of those tables. It doesn’t amount to much, but it struck me as weird after CMLL made sure to say they don’t allow weapon usage in their matches this past week.

Slow motion clip of Star Jr. doing a moonsault on that show.

CMLL (SUN) 03/29/2015 Arena México [CMLL]
1) Robin & Sensei b Apocalipsis & Camorra
2) Acero, Shockercito, Último Dragoncito DQ Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Universo 2000
Nitro fouled Shockercito
3) Goya Kong, Marcela, Syuri b Dalys, La Comandante, Tiffany
4) Dragón Rojo Jr., Star Jr., Stuka Jr. b Kráneo, Niebla Roja, Virus
Niebla Roja replaced Virus on Monday, but then Virus ended up in the match instead of Hechicero. Star Jr. replaced Dragon Rojo Jr. Dragon Lee beat Virus again and demanded a title shot. Virus gave in.
5) La Máscara, Titán, Volador Jr. b Ephesto, Gran Guerrero, Mephisto
Gran Guerrero replaced Barbaro Cavernario. Volador and La Mascara turned on each other for the 50th time, but won anyway.
6) Mistico b Negro Casas
Mistico took the first with a huracanrana, Casas took second with a STF, and Mistico surprised him in the third with a cavernaria. Casas endorsed Mistico after the match.

Casas has endorsed more young luchadors than a newspaper on election day at this point.

The Volador/Mascara stuff is the peak of CMLL running in place for the about six months. It won’t be a great singles match and I’m sure it won’t advance anything, but they can’t even be bothered to run it.

CaraLucha (SUN) 03/29/2015 Arena San Juan Pantitlan, Ciudad de México, Distrito Federal [Estrellas del Ring, TerceraCaida]
1) Terremoto Negro & Tornado b La Roca & Toro Negro Jr.
2) Sky Man b Rayo Star
Sky Star vs Sky Star. They went to a DCOR in the third fall, but the fans wanted another fall and the promotion said okay. SKy Man won with Spanish Fly. Great match. Perro Aguayo Jr. was honored after the match.
3) Leo, Mike, Rafy, Teelo b Andy Boy, Chica Ye-Ye, Demasiado, Toxin Boy
4) Danger b Impulso
Danger got some help from Guerrero Mixitco, which lead to a hair match challenge. Somehow, this enveloped all of La Resistanca, Neza Kings, Sky Star, Indystrongtibles, and Kriminal Boys in a cage match for the next show.
5) Eterno, Trauma I, Trauma II DQ La Máscara, La Sombra, Rush
Team Indy took falls 2/3, the last when Trauma I fouled Rush and Rush took Trauma I’s mask, but referee Rafael el Maya only saw the mask pull and gave the indies the win. Ingobernables didn’t care, as is their style.

It didn’t occur to me until just now how weird it is to have a CMLL vs Indy match refereed by an AAA referee. That is very weird!

Ovett lost his hair to Pesadilla in DTU’s show at Arena Neza. Slayer Pack & Black Fire kept the DTU titles over Los Gemelos Fantasticos.

Sucii Love lost her mask to Lady Jaguar in Arena Femenil Monterrey.

Rey Cometa announced he’s going to be out five to six more months after knee surgery. He wrestled on that at the end of that FantasticaMania tour, including the big match with Cavernario. He’d be back just before the Anniversary show if everything goes right

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update from Saturday.

+LuchaTV has highlights of Violento Jack & Aero Boy vs Crazy Boy & Pesadilla vs the Vipers, Dinastia Crazy vs Neza Kings, a five way from that DTU show, the three way tag match, Los Nerds vs Los Indystrongtibles and the two title matches: Greshman/Drastick and Paranoinko/Mega/Demente Xtreme

Lineups

CMLL (FRI) 04/03/2015 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Brillante & Linterna Verde Jr. vs Relampago & Satara
2) Nube Roja & Toro Negro vs El Chakal & Gitano
3) El Divino, Frezzer, Virgo vs Demonio Maya, Demonio Rojo, Évola
4) Leo, Omar Brunetti, Pepe Aguayo vs Gran Eku, Pitbull I, Pitbull II
5) Forastero & Gallo vs El Cuatrero & Sansón and Flash I & Flash II and Exterminador & Maléfico

Toro Negro hasn’t been here since 2005. (Assuming it’s the same one.) Linterna Verde is a name in from Arena Jalisco.

CMLL (SAT) 04/04/2015 Arena Coliseo
Arena Coliseo 73rd Anniversary
1) Bengala vs Súper Comando
2) Flyer vs Canelo Casas
3) Súper Halcón Jr. vs Nitro
4) Syuri vs Dalys
5) Delta & Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Pólvora & Vangellys
6) Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero vs Stuka Jr., Titán, Valiente
7) Mistico vs Ripper

To say this is not the level of anniversary shows of the past is an understatement.

CMLL (SUN) 04/05/2015 Arena México
1) Magnus & Molotov vs Akuma & Espanto Jr.
2) Acero, Astral, Shockercito vs Mercurio, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Olímpico
3) Dark Angel, Skadi, Syuri vs Dalys, La Seductora, Tiffany
4) Ángel de Oro, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Kamaitachi, Pólvora, Rey Escorpión
5) Virus © vs Dragon Lee [CMLL SL]
Virus’ ninth defense.
6) Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas vs Máximo, Titán, Volador Jr.

He’s back! He was also exactly right about being back in early April, though he was saying he’d have a meeting around then. Maybe he already did. It’s an 80 day time out this time. This at least Mr. Niebla’s fourth chance since the last time he was fired, maybe this will be the time it just works out. Maybe he’s just back long enough to lose the trios titles.

Virus match isn’t airing until the 11th. I’m doubtful I’ll be able to get it. I wrote that right here and still expect to be asked about this 8 times in the next two weeks. Virus is the underdog in that match, since Lee’s on the ascendancy, it’s his second chance in a short amount of time, and they could get more Kamaitachi/Dragon Lee matches out of a title change.

Syuri wrestled today, and is on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s shows. Probably doing Informa on Wednesday too, FWIW. That’s a heavy schedule for anyone. Japanese women’s wrestlers don’t seem to wrestle that frequently (probably more because the lack of shows than any other reason.) Hope she makes it.

CMLL (FRI) 03/27/2015 Arena México
1) Demus 3:16 & Pierrothito b Astral & Eléctrico
2) Cancerbero, Canelo Casas, Raziel b Flyer, Soberano Jr., Stigma
3) Bárbaro Cavernario, Kamaitachi, Negro Casas b Delta, Dragon Lee, Guerrero Maya Jr.
straight falls, with Kamaitachi using the ropes to pin Dragon Lee.
4) Titán b Vangellys [lightning]
Titan won in 6:54.
5) Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible b Atlantis, Valiente, Volador Jr.
6) Rey Escorpión, Thunder, Último Guerrero b Marco Corleone, Máximo, Rush
Rush and Thunder continue to feud. Rush went to pull off Thunder’s mask again, but Thunder stopped him and fouled him, getting away with it for the win.

Rush/Thunder is happening at some point.

Jocker took Sadico’s hair in the Guadalajara cage match.

Today’s AAA show will be a Perro Aguayo Jr. special. They’re show his matches from the 2012 Rey de Reyes, his hair match with Cibernetico, and a recent match with Myzteziz. They also will have other clips of his career, which mostly seem to be on the YouTube channel already.

El Fantasma, Dr. Orozco (Perro’s doctor) and Perros del Mal promotion representative Kahn held a press conference mostly to dispel rumors about Perro’s death – the usual things affirming the medical treatment was fine and the Perro family supports Rey Misterio and he’s not retiring. The commission showed Perro Aguayo Jr.’s license, insisting he was completely fine when they checked him out earlier this month. The doctor made special mention of Perro Aguayo Sr., saying Perro Sr. has suffered normal physical problems from a career of wrestling, but denied anything worse and said no one should talk of such things without medical reports. Kahn said they’re not authorizing any commemorative t-shirts or shows besides the next AAA TV taping on 04/01. (Rey Misterio Jr. said he’d be on that show, which came as total surprise to the local promoters. Some of these things are just communication issues.) The final statement at the press conference was heavy criticism of Hijo del Santo. Santo has been telling the press of a rumor that Perro had a neck injury, and they denied that. They also said Santo had not talked to Perro or his family since January 2011, is lying about how close he is to the family, and should stop giving statements.

WWE held a moment of silence for Perro Aguayo Jr. before the start of their International Media Day interviews on Friday. Also, Bad News Barrett professed to be a big fan of Super Porky.

TV Announcer Leonardo Riano claimed on Twitter than Rey Bucanero punched him at a private show. No other details or Bucanero’s side.

Aeroboy vs Solar is the first match for the on 04/28 ChilangaMask show, also in Coliseo Coacalco.

Black Terry Jr. has highlights of Jonathan Gresham vs Drastick Boy

+LuchaTV has an interviews with Impulso, Danger, and La Sombra, Rush explaining LA Park is a dream match (for LA Park) (Ingobernables are interested in humilating them), Danger talking about showing how good the indies are, Psicosis vs X-Fly vs Ovett highlights and Psicosis and Ovett fighting after their DTU match

Jose Luis Feliciano was announced as being part of a lucha libre seminar in Japan on April 18th and 19th.

Lineups

CMLL (FRI) 04/03/2015 Arena México
1) Eléctrico & Último Dragoncito vs Demus 3:16 & Pierrothito
2) Blue Panther Jr., Fuego, The Panther vs Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus
3) Marcela, Princesa Sugehit, Syuri vs Dalys, La Comandante, La Seductora
4) Valiente vs Rey Escorpión [lightning]
5) Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Máximo vs Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible
6) La Sombra, Negro Casas, Rush vs Thunder, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr. [Relevos Increíbles]

They’re stretching out the build to Rush versus Thunder because there’s absolutely nothing else going on. Video preview here.

Rey Misterio Jr. is not retiring. He said this repeatedly last night, including as part of the recording of MLW’s WaleMania event, saying he believes this is what Perro would’ve wanted him to do. (There’s a video clip here.) Rey indicated he’s very close to signing with Lucha Underground.

A Mexican senator has proposed dissolving all the lucha libre commissions and replacing them with oversight from department of fitness and sports to standardize everything on a national basis. That would displace most of the people who are currently in charge of lucha libre commissions, set a series of rules which would be applied everywhere (which might change/end extreme wrestling), and cover areas which don’t have active commissions. It would also seem to end up with either new people unfamiliar with lucha in charge, or those displaced commissioners just being brought back under a different umbrella.

Another pair of senators want a hospital that will focus on luchadors, boxers and MMA fighters. This is an idea that’s floated around for years; here, it’s said the concept was actually approved last year, but no funds were allocated to it and they’re hoping to change that.

Fuego en el Ring talks to indy promoters HUMO (Hugo Montemayor) and Fusion Ichiban (Giovani Frias) about the struggles about putting on shows. Both tend to promote in Mexico State, outside of Distrito Federal. Montemayor says most shows lack an ambulance or medics qualified for emergency treatment. He also notes it’s hard to sit out stars who show up in non-condition, because the wrestlers may not show up until during the event, and then the fans have been expecting the match for a while. Frias notes the legal requirements for promoting a show in Merida were different than in Mexico City and the need for consistency.

The next show in Auditorio de Tijuana is tonight, with Mistico, Mr. Niebla, Oriental versus Nicho, Damian, and Halloween as the main event. Halloween was part of the Thursday press conference, saying the show must go on but his trio would abandon plans for a Familia de Tijuana reunion to instead be Perros del Mal for one night. Tony Casanova, the wrestler who was said to suffer a back injury this past week, is off the card and replaced by Huichol.

Nicho, Halloween, and Rey Misterio Sr. expressed support for Rey Misterio Jr.

Rafael el Maya complains the referees today are under trained or not at all trained.

I’m big fan of Japanese wrestling blogger enuhito, and even more so after he got a sit down interview with Dorian Roldan. Most of the interview is occupied with corrected the mistakes in reporting on Perro Aguayo Jr.’s death – facts wrong, translation issues – wanted to make it clear Misterio had nothing to do with Perro’s death. (Dorian believes it was the impact on the apron which caused most of the damage.) In the Japanese version of the post, it turns out Dorian happened to already be in Japan, because he was meeting with Japanese wrestling offices on the 25th in 26th to bring in wrestlers for the Lucha World Cup trios tournament coming up in May. No groups are named.

On Voices of Wrestling, Rob Barry writes about five of his favorite Perro Aguayo Jr. matches.

CMLL (TUE) 03/24/2015 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL]
1) El Tapatío & Frezzer b El Chacal & Sádico
2) Magnum, Oro Jr., Starman b Disturbio, Espiritu Negro, Maléfico
3) Dark Angel, Marcela, Princesa Sugehit b Dalys, La Gitana, Reyna Isis
4) Ángel de Oro, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. b Pólvora, Rey Escorpión, Ripper
Angel de Oro & Rey Escorpion feuded, with Oro winning in the end.
5) Ephesto, Mephisto, Rey Bucanero b Atlantis, Mistico, Titán
Rudos took 2/3, Mephisto getting away with a mask pull on Mistico.

CMLL’s show today is built around Thunder, so it’s still boring around here. The preview mentions his problems with Rush and Marco, but it’s mostly been Rush.

TKD has notes from visiting three different shows on his visit to Mexico last weekend.
