the top 6 stories of the last two weeks

– AAA held it’s last major show of the year, Guerra de Titanes Mesias finally won back the AAA Heavyweight Championship from Dr. Wagner Jr., Konnan and the Legion destroyed Cibernetico (again) in a street fight, and Sexi Star upset Fabi Apache to save her mask and take Fabi’s hair. Well…

– Fabi Apache didn’t actually get her hair cut – (slow two weeks) Fabi got her hair cut in front of the live crowd in Madero, with the idea she was going backstage to get it shaved. Two days later, Fabi was wrestling in Guadalajara wearing a cap, which came off during the match to reveal a normal looking short hair cut. AAA pretends none of this ever occurred.

In other matches at a successful Guadalajara Lucha Libre Festival, Mistico won a random title, and Super Muneco & Axxel beat two Payasos.

– AAA debuted new version of the Vipers; in one of the few notable occurrences of AAA’s last taping of the year, AAA showed off a new Psicosis and a new Histeria and added new character Amnesia (along with already existing Black Abyss.) Psicosis is strongly suspected to be indy wrestler Toxico, and his occasional partner Paranoiko is likely one of the other two. The new Vipers immediately got into a feud with the still undefeated Psycho Circus – perhaps they might be the ones to end the streak.

– Rey Bucanero returned to Arena Mexico, wrestling his first match since May. Bucanero needed knee ligament work, attributed to damage done in his last match (a title match versus Ephesto; that feud hasn’t been brought up since his return.)

– CMLL vacates the Mexican National Trios Titles, due to Black Warrior disappearing off the face of the earth. CMLL listed a tournament for the titles, but didn’t bother to explain what was going on for about three days.

– 50 year old lucha libre Arena Isabel de Cuernavaca closed down. The shows weren’t drawing enough for the promoter, who sold the building to a religious group.
