CMLL Informa will continue on during the promotional stoppage, just as it did during the last one. Soberano Jr., Reyna Isis, Virus, Raziel, and Cancerbero will appear. CMLL may have some information about their future plans, but those are depending on situations outside of their control and it may be a wait. A New York Times story revealed what many had suspected: the Mexico City government had been lowering their hospitalization numbers to stay out of the red health code for at least two weeks.
CMLL Aniversario airs on SamuraiTV next Saturday. The Micro title match looks to be skipped. CMLL’s said the PPVs will never be shown anywhere else, but most people don’t see them to believe them and are still waiting for that show to get posted.
Dr. Wagner Jr. vs La Mascara are scheduled to headline a show at CAR The Crash on Christmas. That venue was one of the last to shut down (or at least stop advertising shows) at the onset of the pandemic, so it is not a surprise they’re trying to keep running. It also wouldn’t be a surprise if this gets shut down in the next day or so. Producciones VPR had run shows at Arena Neza earlier this year. Dr. Wagner Jr. has worked a lot during the pandemic for a guy who seems to have done well.
The Rock y Lucha PPV scheduled for Sunday is still on. The show is scheduled for two hours, each music group is playing separate 20-minute performances, and they’re hoping people who like lucha libre will find bands they enjoy and vice versa.
AAA posted part 1 of AutoLuchas on Facebook. That’s many weeks ago on Facebook; you’re not missing anything new yet if you’ve kept up.
Cadena Deportiva interviewed Damian 666 about his COVID-19 experience. Zona Ruda has a brief recap, with Damian saying he was near death. His wife is still in the hospital, and he hopes she’ll be able to make it back home by Christmas.
It’s tough to keep up with LA Park’s many Twitter posts. In one on Monday, LA Park said he was planning on having a knee operation this year, but COVID used up his savings instead. He hopes things can get back to normal in 2021 and he can get it done.
SoloWrestling has a good interview with Violento Jack about his career.
01/22 Lucha Memes/Martinez Turf Zone Arena in Fort Worth, Texas
MicromanFever recaps a Hechicero interview with Kraneo and Mije. Kraneo buries Chessman, like Cibernetico and Charly Manson did earlier this week.
Pimpinela Escarlata opened a fried chicken restaurant in Torreon.
LuchaWorld has a new podcast talking about TripleMania and Dr. Morales.
A holiday tradition of a Christmas Day show in Gomez Palacio will go on, even though lucha libre has largely been banned in the region since March. The promoter had support from the local government at the press conference to announce the date.
A new boxing/lucha libre gym opened in Uruapan, Michocan. The most famous luchador from Uruapan remains ex-AAA wrestler Ozz, he usually comes up whenever there’s a lucha libre story from that town, but it’s (a) Huracan Ramirez who’s mentioned as being the big star on a show to open the gym.
Mas Lucha has a new edition of the En+carados show.

DTU’s Anniversary tour is now one show. There’s no location, so it’s a private show with no location (but tickets still on sale.) This card has a lot of extra people on it for a show where probably many of them are getting paid little or not at all. This is the same day as the Vanguardia show, as it turns out.

I feel like Wagner has had a hell of a career resurgence since losing the mask.
He’s loaded which is why it makes no sense he’s working this tiny outlaw show on Christmas Day. There’s no way they are paying him any sort of amount that justifies him leaving his house. My best guess is this was a pre-arranged date to get his kids some work. You’ll notice it’s hard for them to come by work without him around just like LA Park’s kids.
