Ovacioens has an interview with Lizmark Jr. The article suggests Lizmark may end up jumped by the Perros, and Lizmark thinks about requesting a match for leadership of the Perros.

Just to top the confusion, this article concludes about how Lizmark should much rather have Blue Panther’s mask than Perro’s hair.

Lizmark should much rather have Blue Panther’s mask than Perro’s hair.

Actually, Lizmark Jr himself agrees that winning Blue Panther’s mask would be a much bigger achievement than Perro’s lice nest. OK, at least he’s a bit intelligent.
It’s Villano V for tonight’s show, IV is still busry eating donuts or something.
I am marking out for that 8/23 card! So many blasts from the past…
“1) Sexy Danny & Willie el Hermoso DQ Crazy Boy & Joe Estrada”
Finally – Crazzy Boy wrestling where he belongs on the card!
Joe Estrada made TV once and was GREAT! Seriously… in 98. Might have even been in Torreon?
“2) Mini Pegaso & Mini Rey Cometa b Mini Cibernetico & Mini Espiritu”
Mini Fuerza Aerea needs to happen yesterday. I wonder if this is the same dwarf Mini Ciber from 98?
“3) Atreyu & Milenium DQ Forajido & Guerrero 2000”
MILLENNIUM!?!?!?!?!?!? First of all – that’s MY gimmick. Second of all, he was only around for 2 AAA TV tapings in ’98 so how dare he ever show his face again.
Can’t be the same Atreyu as before since that was played by Sky or Turbina. I always get them confused.
GUERRERO 2000! Voted the next Juventud Guerrera by Huricanrana newsletter!
“4) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Super Porky b Chris Stone, El Perverso, Mr. Niebla”
Chris Stone is alive!
“5) Elegido, Gronda II, Juventud Guerrera b Abismo Negro, Fuerza Guerrera, Head Hunter I”
Gronda II is alive!
Best card ever.
There’s a guy who works as Ricky Estrada over here, he’s a mini of you know who, although lately I’ve seen him working with the regulars… as a tecnico!!!
I don’t really recall Joe Estrada at all… I think the Mini Ciber has been in Mty TV once but I think he’s a different dude right now.
I’ve seen photos of Ricky Estrada. He looks funny.:)

1.Marlyss/Centella/Perverso/??? defeated Los Sexy Boys I y II/Puma/Joe Estrada
“Match 1: One of they Sexy Boys-Centella start with matwork, more matwork with Joe Estrada and Marlyss, next it’s el Perverso and Puma with… more matwork, but at a faster pace and some pin attempts. The other Sexyboy vs some guy, who fakes a foul but (amazingly) the referee’s don’t believe him, Centella and the other Sboy are back, SexyB jumps over Centella’s head, lands in a rope, spingboards on it and falls on the rudo’s shoulders, to later deliver ‘tijeras’ in a great fashion, Centella is out of the ring, SexyBoy baseballslides and ends delivering another ‘tijeras’ move on the floor. Action picks up from there with tecnicos dominating, Puma does a BlackWarrioresque
‘tijeras’ on Perverso, besides, lots of armdrags, ‘quebradoras’ and stuff like that… but soon los rudos react brawling, Perverso holds one of SBoy’s legs while the SB was grabbing the rope and Marlyss jumps from the ringpost onto him with double stomps. The brawling last a while with the rudos doing some ok brawling-outnumbering moves, untill it’s ‘carreta’ time and los tecnicos are back in the match. Both teams trade pin attempts, but a partner is always close to avoid the 3 count. Soon Joe, and Sexy boys are performing topes suicidas and planchas on the rudos, except for Marlyss, who is hited by a plancha in the center of the ring by Puma, next, Puma tries a Huracarana, but Marlyss reverses into a powerbomb and pin for the win.”
I remember loving the match since I always like seeing unknown guys putting on a good show. As Jose always says, that’s the greatest thing about Lucha. You’ll see rare footage of these unknown guys doing awesome stuff and have to accept the fact you may never seen them again. Hell, I thought at first that’s what would happen with the original Fuerza Aerea (Laredo, Super Fly, Cometa, Nemesis).
LOL… my own take on that match:
“”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””
***(Tecnicos) Joe Estrada, Sexy Boys I and II, and Puma vs (Rudos) Marlyss (?), Centella, Perverso and Some Guy .- AAA gives the opportunity to some young talent in this match, 6 out of the 8 workers here look no older than 25 years, and some might even be below 20.Be warned that I don’t really know their names or how are them spelled, look for an update soon. Note: This is a one fall only match.
Only Fall.- One of they Sexy Boys-Centella start with matwork, more matwork with Joe Estrada and Marlyss, next it’s el Perverso and Puma with… more matwork, but at a faster pace and some pin attempts. The other Sexyboy vs someguy, who fakes a foul but (amazingly) the referee’s don’t believe him, Centella and the other Sboy are back, SexyB jumps over Centella’s head, lands in a rope, spingboards on it and falls on the rudo’s shoulders, to later deliver ‘tijeras’ in a great fashion, Centella is out of the ring, SexyBoy baseballslides and ends delivering another ‘tijeras’ move on the floor.

I’m very happy with this match, considering that it had no ‘big names’ on it, it was as good as it get, I’m impressed with the way the match was constructed in a one fall format: matwork build up, brawling, reaction, high flying and a one on one showdown for the victory. The kids promise, sure they can get better, their work had few mistakes (at least compared to some juniors), but they also need to work in some original move that can give each of them an identity. Marlyss reminds me of Juvi 5 years ago, when he was a the unrespectfull young guy who wreaked havoc whenever he could. Good job by everyone…
Besides the title match, what aired on FSE, Chui?
Charles + Nvos Infernales
Oooohhhhhh… so GdR is wide open for surprises tomorrow. How interesting.
ArMex results are in… not a great draw… as expected… extra hard hit for CMLL considering that it is supposed to be where Perro’s more popular…

If I may quote The Rock to/about Lizmark Jr.:
“You are on crack”.
LOL.
