As much as I would like to see lucha libre on ice (or perhaps a dried rink where ice used to be), I don’t think I’m going to make it out to this one. I hope Acid Jazz works more shows, because he’s quite good.
They’ve canceled their Rockford show, but they’re running this show, then shows the following Friday (Addison) and Sunday (Hoffman Estates) and co-promoting a show on Saturday…

1) Nemesis GALLI vs Meteoro
2) Blade & Slayer vs Chialngo & Venganca
3) Quinto Sol & Tigre vs Funebre & Resistencai
4) Huracan Ramirez, Huracan Ramirez, Samuary vs Demencia, Pentagon del Infierno, Yakuza
5) Anibal Jr., Charly Manson Jr., Pantera vs Gringo Loco, Hijo del Cien Caras, Violencia
That’s a lot of lucha in a short time. This seems unsustainable. I hope I’m just missing a piece about how it’s working and everyone’s actually making lots of money.
All those Lucha shows in one area at once? It’s my “every asshole theory” where one person gets a show off the ground, and every asshole has to run one close to you. Happens all the time.
Cicero Stadium is always on Telefutura and Rollergirls and looks like it could be a great place to hold regular events with four or five big names from Mexico. That show is weak.
Acid Jazz is the bomb Cubsfan, I know about this kid from WCPW here in Chicago.
Every asshole theory or not, if I was living in the area I’d be dragging cubs to every single fucking show. Unless they were at the same time. Then he’d have to hit up one, I’d hit up the other and we’d swap fan cams afterwards. What a haven. Take advantage while it lasts…
