12/25: Konnan

There’s an update on Konnan on WO.com

Regarding stories that have come out of Mexico on Konnan, he did not have the scheduled hip replacement surgery on Wednesday because when they opened him up, they found his kidneys in terrible shape and didn’t want to risk surgery. Konnan is back in the U.S. undergoing kidney dialysis regularly until next week. He is scheduled for surgery late next week, but the bad news is his kidneys are so damaged he needs a kidney transplant.

That sounds pretty worrisome. Hope he makes it thru this all okay.

AAA 08/13, 09/16, 11/18, 12/23

Some of these have been on the site for more than two months but not mentioned on the blog. Might as well make up for it down.

08/13 (taped 07/07)
– the episode where Gala caught back up
– Sect vs Air Force for the Atomicos
– Set up for Zumbido/Octagon next taping
– Extreme Tiger being Extreme Tiger
But I could’ve used a better match. The Atomicos match wasn’t my style, but it was the Air Force cramming in as many high flying moves as possible (and none of them meant anything). The Mexican Powers match was really the antithesis of what I want in a wrestling match.

09/16, taped 08/15
– Shocker interfers in a match, does what he set out to do, and his side still loses
– seeding cibernetico for the Dream Tournament, with a weird start that detracts from the match
– typical Dark Family/Mexican Powers hardcore match
– everyone goes home happy Guapos vs Tecnicos main event.
Nothing here to see.

11/18, taped 10/14
– yet another Dark Family/Mexican Powers hardcore match
– Bull Terrier match between Guapos and Porkys.
– Vipers beatdown Laredo Kid
– Foreign vs Tecnicos main event.
The Laredo Kid beatdown was kinda fun, but I didn’t get much out of the rest of this.

12/23, taped 11/18
– two AAA Tag Tournament matches, neither much good
– Mexican Powers FINALLY win the Atomicos titles
– set up for the hair match
– Cibernetico’s return
There was at least stuff going on this show.
