04/26: Mexico, Soberano I

Box Y Lucha points out that Friday’s cancellation is Arena Mexico’s third. The one we forgot was after the Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Cien Caras mask match, where the building had to undergo repairs after that overflow crowd. I presume they just moved it for the duration, as opposed to just not having shows.

There hasn’t been official word from the promotions of cancellations for next week, but since the government is heavily against large groups gathering, they’re not going to happen. I guess we’re more waiting for what, if nay, alternate plans are going to be announced.

CMLL updated it’s GDL’s Sunday lineup, replacing Black Warrior with Dragon Rojo Jr.

Soberano I, the father of Euforia and Hijo del Soberano, passed away Saturday morning in Torreon. He was 60 years and was a long time Laguna area wrestler who also worked in Texas for a stretch.

There’s talk of creating a museum of lucha libre in Mexico City. Lots of pieces have been collected, but they’re still looking for the money to do it.

Dr. Wagner Jr. talks up his feud with Cibernetico & Perro for the record show. He’d like a hair vs mask match with Perro. It’s good to want things.

Cesar reviews: Arkangel, Angel Azteca Jr., Apocalpsis.

Veneno’s blog has photos of Veneno in Merida.

In Leon, the local wrestlers who’ve worked AAA shows there are complaining about not getting paid.

MIA: Anyone seen Hijo de Faraon? Hasn’t been on a card since the Feb 18 show in SLP.
