WWA (FRI) 05/25 Auditorio de Tijuana [rey_misterio_tj @ Satanico’s Mansion]
1) La Mascara, Mistico, Sagrado vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto [WWA TRIOS]

This is Mora’s anniversary show and such, but really – belt #5! Theoretically, the Trio of Terror could win the trios belts, but I see Averno and Mistico in there, so I suspect I know the ending. These belts were last held by the Brazos in ’98, so they’re vacant (and pretty meaningless, but whatever.)

Gililo @ el Martiente has photos from the LLX show in Guadalajara. Meanwhile, amateur @ box y lucha says wrestlers didn’t go on with the next show in LLX, because they weren’t getting paid.

Magazines
Guerreros del Ring #85 has KeMonito as Godzilla.
Box Y Lucha #2816 has Perro beating Mistico

My San Antonio has a review of Dan Madigan’s lucha libre book.

“Mondo Lucha A Go-Go” is a book that is well worth its price in photos alone and one that followers of lucha libre will want for their collection.

Santo was in Chicago on Friday as part of the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies conference.

IWRG’s site is still down.

12/09: Mexico, Teleton

CMLL (FRI) 12/08 Arena Mexico Results
1) Danger, Valiente b Artillero, Super Comando
2) Fabian el Gitano, Mascara Purpura, Metro II b Arkangel, Hooligan, Loco Max
3) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Blue Panther, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
4) Heavy Metal, Shocker, Universo 2000 b Alex Koslov, Kenzo Suzuki, LA Park
5) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero

Hooligan replaced Nitro in the GdR special. Both teams in next week’s trios match won. Metal and Park both got taken out of their match, and I’m quite surprised Kenzo didn’t get a win here. They must be killing off this bit after Friday.

I expect to hear about the AAA taping sometime in March.

Again, no GdR or Galavision today because of Teleton coverage. There’s like a 50% shot I’ll forget to tape GdR this week because it’s on Sunday.

KrisZ notes, in the comments, that Televisa indeed did get it’s wish of a CMLL vs AAA show – except it was one match, and it was a draw.

Hiroka has a shot at Lady Apache’s Mexican National Championship next Sunday. This is a odd thing, seeing as only Mexicans are supposed to have a shot at the Mexican National championships, and Hiroka sure appears to be Japanese.

CMLL has no idea how they’re spelling Efesto/Ephesto yet. This shall annoy me greatly. It really needs ‘f’ or it’ll be massively confusing.
