It sure looks like Maximo was the guy listed as Equis in the Arena Mexico segunda. That’s odd.
Ovaciones is the normal Tuesday Aficion preview, and a interview with Mephisto about Friday’s main event. Mephisto figured Negro and Santo will be their most difficult defense ever, but thinks his superior teamwork with Averno will give them the edge. Mephisto, demon from hell, wishes all the fans a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The Black Tiger/LA Park mask match in Torreon, which was originally mentioned to be “sometime in spring ’06”, and then moved up to 12/25, will now possibly move back into early ’06. In the latest Lucha2000 (via box y lucha foro), Black Tiger mentioned being in a car accident where he hurt his nose, and required surgery. Tiger is not sure if he’ll be ready for the 25th, but promises they’ll move the show back by no more than a month if he can’t go. (This explains why he’s not on the Torreon show this week.)
No full results from the show, but the sons of Cien Caras beat Flash I & II in Guadalajara this past Sunday for the Western (Occidente) tag team championship.
Box Y Lucha #2744 is up.
– poster are pictures of Latin Lover from the Teleton.
– Latin Lover says this year has been the best year of his life, what with becoming famous and all. He’s going to be part of a weekly (Saturday) TV show soon.
– Diana La Cazadora is a traffic reporter in her other job. She was trained to wrestle by Bello Canibal, Carnicero Aguilar, and Centurion Negro. She hopes she makes it back to Arena Mexico more often next year.
– At the year end Televisa network party, they’re having their own mini-Dancing With The Stars contest with representatives from all their divisions – the winning division getting a car raffled off for their group. AAA announcer Arutro Rivera will help represent the Special Events division, and he talks about
– Averno & Mephisto figure teaming and winning often before will give them a edge of Santo & Casas this week. Casas & Santo feel they were robbed of the titles last time they lost them, so they’re destined to win them back here. (If I recall correctly, they actually lost the titles in a clean, though nearly neckbreaking, loss to Rey and Ultimo.)
– Halloween breaks his silence and talks about his fight. One of the bits in this article is that he was so hurt, he didn’t want the fans to remember him like this, so he refused to let Box Y Lucha take his picture. (And then he showed up on the CMLL show.) Halloween says his knee went out in the second fall (which could be true, but watching the Sunday show this weekend, I recalled his knee went out in that match to, so it’s a problem that’s been around for a while.) His recovery timeline is mentioned here as one year, and he sounds very depressed about it. “This has been the best 18 years of my life, and if I never come back, remember me as someone who gave it my all” kinda thing.
– Marcela talks about her last trip to Japan. Nothing much new there, except she felt she got more respect because she was champion and tried to represent the belt as best as she could.
– Emilio Charles Jr. says he’s happy with what he’s accomplished, having spent most of the year outside of Mexico City. The highlight for him, of course, is beating Satanico for his hair. Emilio also says the Taliban is broken up, because he’s busy and Scorpio seems to be out of CMLL and Bestia is in a Guadalajara a lot, so it’s hard to get together.
– Box Y Lucha talks to a 12 year old kid who is running his own kids promotion (for three years!) in Monterrey. Sounds like a backyard deal, except they have an actual ring and occasionally have concessions. That’s still crazy.
– Head Hunter I was a big fan of Abdullah the Butcher, and that’s why he wanted to get into wrestling. While he’s always listed as from the Dominican Republic, and was born there, he and his brother (II) grew up in the US. They trained with Black Gordman, and debuted in 06/85 in New York, debuting in Mexico in 1990.
– Rambo’s weekly story from his days on the road
This was maybe my favourite update ever. From Mephisto, demon from hell, wishing everyone a merry christmas to Averno & Mephisto saying they have a teamwork edge against Santo & Casas to 12 year old backyard promotions to the Taliban disbanding.
With the lucha style with trios and rolling bumps the 12 year old backyarders should be able to wrestle well into their teens.
Except these backyarders and probably into OLX, NGW and all the stupid hardcore feds in Mexico where an opening spot is a 450 through a flaming table. Gotta get warmed up you know.
