Bob Barnett’s explaination is that Vampiro was allowed to book his own angle (though there was some Day Of arguement about that, Vamp did get his way), and since everyone had Black Warrior winning the title, they did a walkout finish as a swerve. He should be back in a month to do a rematch and maybe drop the title, but it’s wrestling so who really knows.
It should make for some wacky TV at least, assuming it makes TV.
Barnett also says Tarzan Boy is fired from CMLL, again. Someone needs to start keeping track of how many times that happens.
Canek appeared at Arena Mexico this week to announce that he’s coming into CMLL. Apparently, they didn’t have enough older lucha guys that I have no interest in seeing! I’m hoping this implies Canek is cheaper than Santo, because if you’re actually paying for extra top talent and you’re going the wrong way, you’re driving me insane.
In the same vein, Mil Mascaras wrestled on Sunday’s show in Arena Coliseo.
Guapos U matches start this Tuesday in Arena Coliseo.
Of all the things they could mention, CMLL.com had a blurb on it’s pick for rising trio of 2004: Astro Boy, Explosivo and Sombre de Plata. Right.
I keep waiting for the usual Sunday/Monday update to show up on CMLL.com, but no luck so far. I don’t expect a lot of news since they’ve already announced this week’s card, but I’ll update when they do.
