Saturday: Split feeds, late time on both coasts. Main event has Santo! It also has Canek, so that’s the defintion of a mixed bag. Robert liked the Women’s match best of all.
Sunday: Everyone turns on Pierroth! Inevitable.
GdR: No Mistico? That’s awful strange. Should be the CMLL debut of Princesa Blanca, but I dunno for sure.
I’ve noted which matches already aired on GdR on the CMLL Future list.
In this week’s Box Y Lucha, Brazo de Oro announced he will retire on October 5th of this year. It would be his 31st anniversary of wrestling, and he feels his matches ought to go to the young kids who work hard each day looking for a chance.
He’s not planning a public function and doesn’t want one; he’ll be having a small private party with family. Brazo de Oro, if CMLL and his workers give him the okay, to continue being the leader of the wrestler’s union.
(I’ll do a full Box Y Lucha recap tommorow)
There’s a new wiki main page update. The featured profile works off this weekend’s WWE HOF inductees, obviously. Thanks to TakemuraMetal for adding some bios the last couple weeks. I’m going to work on cleaning up the unused pictures a bit this afternoon.
Looking for an easy way to contribute? Next time you see a luchador interview in a magazine or online, check back at the wiki and see if you’re reading details we don’t have there. If you’ve got something new, add it or edit it in. It’s not much, and it’d help build the info about more recent guys who don’t yet have profiles.
I’d advise everyone not to directly link to any picture on the wiki – save it to your computer and upload it to imageshack or something – because it may not be there in a couple weeks. (Dramatic foreshadowing.)
Any suggestions you haven’t made yet? Let me know!

RFC @ Lo Mejor de La Lucha libre says Juvi’s returning to AAA.
Guerreros del Ring has a big ol’ picture fo Black Warrior on the cover.
There’s a note in the latest Observer that AAA wants to get back on Galavision, in order to promote shows in Texas. The problem, as mentioned before, is that they’re airing three hour shows in Mexico, and it’s easier for Gala just to plug in a 2 hour CMLL tape than to edit AAA to fit the time slot.
Once Notias has a series of basic stories on luchadors at a (Monterrey?) show: women in wrestling, rudos vs tecnicos and Super Astro‘s diet
Baca, Yucatan had it’s first lucha show in ten years this past week. The report says the early matches bored, but the main event saved the show. They hope they can get the likes of Mistico and La Park someday.
There’s a big show panned for May 28th in Arena Monterrey. Main event is Santo, Mil Mascara, and Tinieblas Sr. versus Blue Demon Jr., Hector Garza, and Perro Jr. The semi-main has Mistico, Rayo, Park, and Canek (oddly tecnico) versus a GdI atomicos unit of Atlantis, Tarzan, Ultimo and Rey. Lots of names down the card, too.
