There’s your big Triplemania surprise. I guess we all had the wrong definition of ‘big’. I wonder where this leaves El Brazo (who I thought Porky had a problem with), much less all the Brazos in CMLL.
It also sounds like Nieto del Santo, (Hijo del Santo’s son, not Axxel) was introduced to the crowd as well.
I haven’t seen full results, only that
– Zorro lost his hair
– Muerte Cibernetica lost his mask
LLI has another YouTube clip package.

No Crazy Boy trios match.
Haven’t seen results for the Arena Neza match yet.
In yet another mask match Sunday, Blackman II lost his mask in Iztacalco, and revealed himself as Rubén García, which also reveals him as the ex-Hurcan Jr.

Last Friday, there was a 07/01 Arena Monterrey press conference with big names that are supposed to be in the card (Santo, Canek, Tinieblas), so one would suppose this card will actually happen. The idea seems to be “WWE filled up the place with their names, so we’re going to put the best Mexican names and charge WWE prices.”

– Super Luchas cover is on ECW One Night Stand
– Luchas 2000 cover has a big picture of Rey
Negro Casas is head to NJPW for their next tour, from July 1st til July 19th. No matches have been announced. (Strong Style Spirit)
There’s an Eddie Guerrero tribute show scheduled for July 2nd in Denver. (DENVER?) Chavo, Hector and Mando main event against the logical team of Villano IV, Rey Mysterio Senior and HAKU. I’ve got to go look up plane tickets.
Nacho Libre made $27.5 million this weekend, which is slightly above predictions but not good enough for #1 on the weekend. It sounds like it fell off big between Friday and Saturday and that sounds bad, but what do I know? $27.5 million dollars is still $27.5 million dollars, and when the movie cost somewhere in the $30s to make, that means they’re going to be in the black next week. YAY PROFIT.
