Arena Coliseo 75th Anniversary lineup, Mesias/Vampiro

SuperLuchas has an interview with Mesias, I think from after Tuesday’s press conference. Mesias is asked about his relationship with Vampiro, and Mesias is very clear he has no problem with Vampiro. He says Vampiro has helped his career a lot, and he feels owes a lot to Vampiro. Vampiro knew how Mesias felt in AAA and about the Rey de Reyes match, but his hands were tied and he wasn’t able to help.

That suggests Vampiro has something significantly less than autonomy on booking if he can’t change the finish of a Rey de Reyes match. Maybe it also means Mesias had a situation like Pentagon, where AAA ownership booked him to lose matches seemingly because they thought he was leaving, while still being caught off guard when he actually did. And while not doing enough to find a solution to the problems, obviously.

Publimetro put together their list of the many people who’ve left AAA over recent years. AAA people would point out they’ve added guys like Blue Demon, La Mascara and Maximo. From the outside, it seems like they’re not being added under the same conditions. Demon is working in Monterrey this weekend for a non-AAA promoter, something that wouldn’t seem to be allowed to a Nino Hamburugesa. The most freedom AAA deals seem to go to top stars who’ve been added over the last year or so, suggesting the best thing a current AAA wrestler could do is become a ex-AAA wrestler and then hope you get hot enough that they want/need you back.

ESTO has a promo with Microman saying he’ll be on the 04/30 Arena Mexico Kid’s Day show. On recent broadcasts, CMLL’s mentioned there will also be a Kid’s Day in Guadalajara on that day, as well as the previous announced one in Puebla the next day.

Heroes of Lucha LIbre, the aspiring US based lucha libre promotion which has run a couple times in California, says it’s next show will be on 06/02 in downtown Los Angeles. They’ll announce the building on April 6. I’m not sure the Friday before WrestleMania is the greatest time for US wrestling announcements.

Reporte Indigo talks to Atlantis about his career.

Semimain is Super Astro Jr.’s debut, and Kebrada’s Arena Mexico debut. Those two, Retro, Grako and Sangre Imperial have never gotten wins. Yago at least won a bit a few years ago in a Gran Alternativa, but it’s probably either Astral or Flyer advancing.

The two legends matches are additions to an otherwise normal card.

This is scheduled to air on 52MX, and most stuff CMLL tapes for TV ends up being streamed live on their YouTube channel. CMLL hasn’t said anything about streaming it and might not until the moment it goes up on YouTube. The show starts at 7:30pm, around the same time as the ROH & NXT shows on WrestleMania weekend.
