Upcoming Congress Theatre shows

I didn’t hear anything about the OELL shows or a Congress Theatre show which I didn’t even know about but was apparently the same day?

The next lucha show in the area seems to be ELL-MEX (I’m guessing!) at Congress Theatre on 04/09 (SAT). Over on CW, there’s this post over on CW.com’s board.

The lucha card for April 9th has been changed due to conflicts of schedules so Dr Wagner Jr,Vampiro,Psicosis and Blue Demon Jr WILL NOT be at this card[though Blue Jr is scheduled for a May card for LUCHAVAVOOM in the same theatre] and these guys are now replaced by Tinieblas and his mascot Alushe,Super Porky,Emilio Charles,Scorpio,and Bestia Salvaje.

It’s gotta be a new Alushe, right? Tickets are $15 and $25. Bell time is listed at 6 PM. How often do you get to see the Taliban in Chicago? (Wait, don’t answer that.)

(In a weird hilarious concidence, I’m going to a Shins concert on the five days later – which is also at Congress. Can’t get away from the building.)

The Lucha Va Voom show refered to in that post is listed on their site, and is the Cinco De Mayo show Dave Meltzer refered to a few days ago.

TicketWeb actually expands on the lineup a little bit. Blue Demon Jr. & Solar vs Rey Misterio & Psicosis will be the main event, and is being advertised as Nicho’s last match before heading to WWE. Semi-main has super minis Tzuki and Mascarita Sagrada not only appearing in the same place at the same time (so it’d going to be quite a trick for one guy to be both this time!) taking out Cassandro and Misterioso. What a strange match, Misterioso’s gotta be ticked he signed that contract. Chilango, Durango, and the ladies are also listed. Hosts are the Guy From Beat The Geeks and SpongeBob (and five billion other voice roles, wow.)

Per usual, tickets are bit more pricey for Va Voom shows, $20 and $40 ringside. Unlike the last time they unoffically did a LVV show at Congress, it’s “18 and older” show.
