At Wednesday’s press conference, the WWE revealed that it loves Mexicans. Tickets are still available for the Guadalajara and Monterrey shows (which don’t have cards as of yet.) Ovaciones makes it sound like Kurt Angle would replace Batista on those cards, and they’d otherwise stay as currently listed.
Newspapers rarely tend to say “wrestling”, so it greatly amused me to read another WWE in Mexico story where JBL’s self-proclaimed line is “Dios de la Lucha Libre.” If Bradshaw were to actually declare himself “God of Lucha Libre” while in Mexico (or really, any time at all), it would perhaps be the greatest thing ever.
Also in Ovaciones is an interview with Sagrado for the Arena Mexico preview. He’s lost about 4kg (8.8 lb) to move himself into the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight categories and just be in better shape. He, Maximo, and Texano Jr. train together an average four hours a day, just so they can be an awesome team.
Speaking of that card:
CMLL (FRI) 01/13 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Rayo Tapatito I, Rayo Tapatio II vs Zayko, Polvora
2) Crazy Boy, Tigre Blanco, Tiger Metalico vs Flecha, Super Comando, Artillero
3) Maximo, Sagrado, Texano Jr. vs Mr. Mexico, Nitro, Dr. X
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Rayo de Jaliscor Jr., Brazo de Plata vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
5) Tarzan Boy, Rey Bucanero, Olimpico vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Damian 666
This is the close of the Arena Coliseo season of Friday events. I suspect the Mexican Trios champions will indeed lose in the third match to set up a rematch for the Arena Mexico return, and they’ll probably continue to build GdA/Perros stuff.
LXN (SAT) 01/14 Gimnasio Yuyin Luzcando de Bethania Lineup
1) Rey Metalico vs Scorpio (Yuyin)
2) Lady Beautiful vs Sensual
3) Toxcio & Latin Snake vs Rey Geopardo & Bad Blue Jr. [? TAG]
4) Demoledor & Black Killer vs Vampiro & Titan Jr.
5) Vampiro vs Azor
Yea, that cna’t be right, but that’s what the paper says.
indy (SUN) 01/15 Arena Solidaridad Lineup [rfc]
