I expect no title change and strong tease of a turn, to be dragged for a while.

CMLL did hold the press confrence for Perro vs Univeros yesterday, and I assume it’ll air on Televisa this week. Perro said Universo was a great professional, but he’ll get revenge for his father. Universo was happy to see Perro fired up, and said the public would see Perro shaved. Perro said he’d win in two falls. Universo said he could win in one fall, because he’d just send Perro to the hospital. If they went two, Perro might have to retire. Tickets go on sale 03/13 (next Monday – so really not in advance.)

Octagon met with the press in Merida, Yucatan today, to hype an AAA/AROJNA show there this Sunday and assure the people that the AAA wrestlers would be much better behaved towards the public and the officials than LA Park was before he got suspended. (Apparently, Park wasn’t just swearing, he was swearing at the Box Y Lucha commissioner. Oops.)

indy (SAT) 03/04 Cabercera Municipal Lineup [box y lucha]
1) Caudillo, Ave Nocturna, Osiris vs As de Oros, Huizar, Venom
2) Justiciero Jr., Yakuza, Kid Tiger vs Black Jaguar, Black Spider, Storm
3) Mascarita Sagrada & Octagoncito vs Pierrothito & Bracito de Oro
4) Maximo, Tony Rivera, Rey De Corazones vs Magnifico, Negro Navarro, Black Terry
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Lizmark Sr., Justiciero vs Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy, Rey Bucanero

This is actually sorta a political rally, because tickets are free and it’s being sponsored by the campaign to elect David Sanchez for Municipal President of Coacalco.

In Mexico City on Saturday, at the Galeria Jose Maria Velasco, they’ll be a exhibition of lucha libre masks, photographs, movies, comic book and other sorts of things.
