Ovaciones has no lucha news, but they did have a blurb on the Heat killing the Bulls last night. So wrong.
Over on Box Y Lucha, there’s an interview with Super Crazy about WWE. He signed a week ago for a three year (!) deal. (Crazy plans on wrestling five more years in total.) He doesn’t have a start date as of yet; it sounds like he may wrestle a few more times in Mexico before he starts up (but only after a hand injury he suffered in Japan heals up.) Crazy hopes to wrestle in Mexico during his WWE stint but notes it says ‘exclusive’ on the contract.
There’s also interviews with Damian and Halloween about their return to Arena Mexico and relationship with Konnan and with Loco Max talking about his debut in ’93.
No sign of last night’s Coliseo results as of yet.
Rocky Romero got the Black Tiger (IV) gimmick from NJPW last weekend (as you can read here); I presume the current Black Tiger can keep on using it as long as he’s in Mexico. Black Tiger vs Black Tiger would be sorta neat, though.

The word down south is New Japan has told Silver King to finish up with the gimmick. So we’ll see what happens.
The three likely scenarios are:
a) It’s BS, Silver will keep using it anyways.(doubtful since NJPW/CMLL have strong ties.)
b) Black Tiger will disapear, Silver King will appear in CMLL again as a tecnico reforming Los Cowboys with El Hijo Del Texano and someone.
c) Same as B but in AAA.
I’ll take C for now.
