Hey, Konnan’s a man of his word – that took about two days. I’m not as high on Killings as people who were watching TNA during this title run, but I’m thinking, if you’ve got to do foreign heels, he’s better than Head Hunter. What a collection on that tecnico side – if they weren’t all out of angles before TripleMania, I’d almost expect a “shock” turn, because it’s less weird than those three.

Mesias is listed with the Vipers team in the semimain (and, one would assume, also there to take Abismo’s place if needed.)

I don’t know if Juvi vs Fuerza in a chain match will be good, but I do believe it’ll be interesting. Joe Lider and Sangre Chicana are seconds.

Let’s all pretend I didn’t give away where they’re going with the Alfa bit. I can’t believe I got that one on blind luck.

No Hamadas? Are the clowns done already?

Tickets are 100 to 300 ($9.3 US to $27.9).

Next Tapings
– 07/08 Puebla
– 07/15 TripleMania

06/21: not much

I’m on the road and there’s nothing going on. That works out well. This has little substance, which is why I’m posting the newly announced AAA TV taping after to bury this like cheese.

Ovaciones quotes the promoter of WWE Mexico shows, Bosco Attolini Pesquieira, that WWE is considering running WrestleMania 25 (2009) in Azteca Stadium or Foro Sol. It sounds like the promoter is going into business for himself on this one. WWE would need to have a successful TV taping before they’d put the biggest show of the year there, and it’s unlikely to leave the US or Canada unless business drops a lot. (Which may be true in 2009 for all we know. They’re 9 months away from figuring this out.)

Promoter says Rey Mysterio Jr. is wrestling on every WWE show in Mexico, which also may be wishful thinking. As of now, he’s only booked to wrestle one show in Mexico City and the Tijuana show. It’ll probably be his in-ring return (or close to it), so the idea was not to promise much.

Ovaciones also reports CMLL will hold it’s bodybuilding contest on October 10th.

No show recap in El Sol de San Luis (Potosi). This doesn’t surprise me – they have “it ended after deadline” excuse. We’ll see about tomorrow (when they usually run the article/ads for the weekend indy shows.)

Do they have a page or two of aggregate stats/info in Mexican newspaper sports sections? In the Chicago papers, we get at least one and usually more pages that’s jammed with standings in different leagues, player transactions, box scores from the previous night, etc. That page in that form never technically makes it to web, because the information can be spaced and better organized when it’s not crammed into one sheet. I’d assume the same was true for papers in Mexico – I see articles about games, but not the statistical information typically included – but I wonder if there’s lucha information that doesn’t make the transition from the printed page.

Sorry if this was a dumb question.

After reading in context, I wasn’t as bothered by the Waltman comment in the observer. It’s not that I agree, I just don’t care. Apathy is for winners!
