01/20: Puebla, Charly

Waiting for full results of last night’s Puebla show to turn up too. What we do know is Sombra retained his title and Mistico challenged Sangre for a shot at his title. Sangre needs to start running and never look back, no good can come of that match.

In other news I feel like I’m missing part of: Charly Manson may OR may not be already back in AAA. There’s an interview in the latest Luchas 2000 (#454), where he said he was going to stick with AAA after all, changing his mind (and getting a better offer) after the new of his jump to Perros del Mal hit the internet. However, just last night, KrisZ noted an interview where Charly said he was going to the Perros because they’d let him work as a referee while he was rehabbing and AAA wouldn’t let hm do anything. (The Luchas 2000 article has Charly saying AAA’s doctors gave him the green light.) Something’s not adding up here.

Looking ahead, ESTO and Ovaciones preview today’s Arena Mexico card. Not as much going on compared to recent shows, even with the Panther/Mistico/Marco vs V3/Averno/Mephisto main event.

The 02/08 show in Tabasco with Cibernetico/Juvi vs Wagner/Fuerza is off. (That’s the one with the WWE Minis title on the line.) Article says Cibernetico took a booking in the US instead, but spends more time running down the card of the show that’s no longer happening than explaining the situation.

WagnerMania has recaps of el Toreo shows in Neza and Arena Lopez Mateos as well as video of the Hora Cero minis cage match.

Apaculo wrestlers Super Loco, Nemesis and Principe Vegueta are threatening to lead a sit-in protest after their promotion’s wrestling ring was kicked out of it’s building. They’d been using the building for the last three years, but the newly authority of sports in town is evicting them so they can use the building for a basketball league instead. The luchadors case seems to be that they were there first, they’re willing to move the ring (donated by AAA!) out for special occasions, there are other places to play basketball and the sports council will not work with them.

Dos de Tres January 2009 has >Abismo Negro on the cover.

Ohtani’s Jacket is not a big fan of Volador & Sombra vs Averno & Mephisto.

LuchaWorld has Robert on CMLL TV 07/21/07 and 08/11 & 08/12/07 FSE, plus KrisZ’s news update.
