04/19 news

Sadly, Mistico won’t be pope. He’s young, he’ll get another shot.

Ovaciones doesn’t have much to add today. An interview with Canek Jr. He’s got a degree in Hotel Adminstration/Tourism to fall back on, though I don’t suppose he’ll need to. He’s training with Satanico. He plans on being rudo all his life.

The other article is an Arena Coliseo preview article, which actually rehashing Shocker’s no-show on Sunday. Shocker’s not on the show, instead in Queretaro with Qu Monito, teaming with Dr. Wagner against Hector Garza and Ultimo Guerrero. (Edit: Meltzer doesn’t expect him to be here either. I figured it was indy enough that his CMLL departure wouldn’t affect it, but I guess we find out.)

The NWA is offically trying to contract Shocker to find out why he didn’t show, and theorizing a match with Shocker and Dr. Wagner to setttle any conflicts.

It is funny that Shocker was actually back in an NWA promotion with the NWA belt for what might’ve been the first time since the early 90’s, and it lasted for all of two tapings. EH.

Anyway, it’s very rare for someone not be booked on either the Tuesday Arena Coliseo or Friday Arena Mexico. I think the next AAA taping is 04/30, so this all will be up in the air for a bit. Since they haven’t appeared to publically bury Shocker, it’s always possible he’d change his mind between now and then.
