Ovaciones previews tonight’s Arena Mexico card. The big story is if Poder Mexica beats Sagrado, Sombra and La Mascara, they’re probably getting a shot at the Mexican National Trios titles (of which La Mascara is not actually champ – that’s Volador instead.) The article also notes that next week’s show is the Fan Appreciation show, and it kinda needs a main event, so Poder Mexica stands a pretty good shot tonight.
There’s also a note about Metro, who’s mentioned to be a new version of the gimmick (as CMLL’s Hi5 site said), so no Fabian or Neutron. No real speculation about the name, but it’ll probably be obvious quickly.
The newest Box Y Lucha (#2907) has an article with Tony Salazar saying Explosivo is not dead. It was very odd that none of the magazines appeared to report his death, which I figured was because they couldn’t confirm it or overturn it. Looks like they can now. I have idea what may have happened here but would like to read more before saying somthing dumb.

I’ll just go ahead and put it here. Cassandro wrestled for TNA last night and defeated Petey Williams in a singles match. The report says the match was taped for TNA’s internationally syndicated Xplosion show. Cassandro used the name Satanico del Exotico. Lately TNA has been uploading their Xplosion matches online so there’s good chance this will pop online too, if it was indeed taped for Xplosion.
