Mistico and WWE: the neverending story

I remember liking that movie, but it’s long a time since I’ve seen it. Oh, right, news:

This will probably change several times over the next six days because of the gigantic political implications of this decision, but Mistico, against the wishes of CMLL, is scheduled to appear on Tuesday night in San Jose at the WWE tapings. (thanks to Steve “Dr. Lucha” Sims)

Okay, so now I’m not going to write anymore unless I have something new to say about this. Luckily, I do!

I’m thinking he won’t end up in WWE. But, if he was,

I THINK
– CMLL would want Mistico to work out as many dates as possible (they really don’t have equal replacements on the roster)
– CMLL would still want to do a big main event on 03/24, since they’re still competing with WWE (though WWE may have to put a stronger fight to be considered competing)
– CMLL would want to keep the rights to the Mistico and name and gimmick, since they’re already fought for them once

Why not still do the Perro Aguayo Jr. vs Mistico match, except have Mistico lose his mask? He’s gone, CMLL doesn’t care – it’d be a spite move, and one that could cost money (since it’d be worth more if his WWE stint was halfway decent, but promotions have done the same) – and there’s no sense in having Perro lose his hair to a guy on the way out. Either they’d have to come up with another match (Marco/Universo? Volador in Mistico’s spot to beat Perro’s hair – would Perro be okay with that?) or Mistico loses his mask.

This isn’t happening, but it’s weird to figure a halfway reasonable imagine a scenario where Mistico loses his mask. That seemed impossible.

02/21: Puebla, XLAW, Torreon

CMLL (MON) 02/19 Arena Puebla Results
1) Blue Center, Zigma b Fuerza Tiger, Mr. Rafaga
2) Espiritu Maligno, Murcielago, Toro Bill Sr. b Asturiano, Centella de Oro, Forajido
3) Black Terry, Negro Navarro, Nitro b Leono, Tony Rivera, Valiente
4) Felino, Mascara Sagrada, Texano Jr. b Misterioso II, Olimpico, Terrible
5) La Mascara, Mistico, Volador Jr. b Averno, Efesto, Mephisto

Terrible replaced Tarzan Boy, who did show up to explain a foot injury is keeping him out of action. Usual main event finish.

Ovaciones has an interview with Alex Koslov, about his tecnico turn. The rudos turn on each other too much, so he decided to jump sides.

NWA XLAW (SUN) 03/04 Coliseo Tulancingo Lineup [superluchas]
1) Skayde & Skayde Jr. vs Amo de la Noche, Talaxys
2) Shamu, Katsumi Kanai vs Epidermia, Heavy Boy
3) Kaleth, Nemesis (IWRG) vs Geneis, Feroz
4) Avisman vs American Gigolo
5) Dr. Cerebro, Freelance vs Fantasma de la Opera, Cerebro Negro
6) Chad Malenko vs El Suicida
7) Ultimo Dragon vs Frankie Kazarian vs Tajiri [1, NWA HEAVY]

I sure hope that’s the ex-IWRG/current Piratas in the third match, because I don’t need a third guy named Nemesis. Chad Malenko is Chad Collyer, living the dream.

indy (THU) 02/22 Arena Olimpico Laguna Lineup
3) Conflictus, Junior Halcon vs Arana Cibernetica I, Arana Cibernetica II
4) Moro III, Piloto Negro, Tony Rodriguez vs Hijo de Soberano, Sexy Piscis, Piloto SUicida

indy (SUN) 02/25 Deportivo Lee Roy Lineup
1) Shuriken, Star Jr. vs Aguila Salvaje, Fuerza Infernal
2) Black Boy, Corsario Rojo, Fuego vs Muerte Negra, Blue Fox, Lee Roy
3) Dark Staint vs Jerry Brown [mask]
4) Junior Halcon, Indio Chirikawa II, Arana del Futuro vs Kain, Black Jet, Diabolico II
5) La Borrega 2000 vs Tin Tan [hair]
6) Super Star vs Super Leopardo [trofeo Lee Roy]

Officals are going to restrict the amount of lucha libre shows which take place in Auditorio Municipal Torreon. The ring and the chairs are damaging their wood floor, and they don’t expect the wrestling promoters will pay for it, so they’re only going to let a few top events runt there each year.

Rocky Romero may have been asked to drop the Black Tiger IV gimmick.

The Charly Manson/Box Y Lucha chat is today.
