Ovaciones hypes the card as Mistico vs Negro & UG. They also mention the VdE move. Notimex calls Volador, Shocker and Mistico the unbeatable trio. ESTO pushes Shocker vs UG, Mistico vs Negro.

Charl"i" would be closer.

A press release points to the official website for the AAA video game. That bit over on the right is from one of the stills, and it’s not a promising sign that they’re spelling names wrong. Judging from the other graphics, it looks you have to fill up a star meter to do a big move, and some level of body part damage tracking. Still no specific release date.

At a press conference yesterday, Televisa said they’d signed a 2 year deal with UFC. UFC 100 was already announced as airing live this Saturday.

Yujiro says he wants to stay in Mexico at least 3 years, and he’s got 10 Mexican girlfriends. His plans are to challenge for the tag title, became a star, make more money, and have a Mexican girlfriend. One down.

Super X visited a children’s hospital. They hope to have a show there in Septmeber.

A new photo lucha libre gallery opened in Torreon yesterday.

The latest Slammin’ Stan also had Dr. Lucha on as a guest.

One lineup:

indy (SAT) 07/11 Arena Veracruz [notiver]
1) Angel Azul & Jinete del Apocalipsis vs Lover Machina & Mr. Loco
2) Corazon Salvaje, Gran Prix, Junior vs Black Baby, Black Demon, Trueno Infernal

One week after having his ‘retirement match’, Lizmark is back in action. It’s a retirement match here, too.

  1. I had neglected to comment about the upcoming “Perros del Mal” show here in Nvo Laredo… it will be held about six blocks from here, but has jacked up prices… I might be there but more to see how it goes, the card is “loaded” for their standards, and they have already run several shows in the bullring drawing more or less the same crowds AAA does in 4 Caminos…

    But those bullring shows were ran by Hator and did not included Aguayo… this one seems to be much more expensive and ran by a different promoter (which probably will be ripped of) so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

  2. @xuisaw: That show will be fun just to see what they do if Cibernetico actually shows up, and how the Perros treat him if they do. I guess if they’re charging high prices, they can’t just replace him with anyone before to risk the draw.

  3. I dunno why I thought prices were jacked up (well, because they’ve been everywhere), actually, ringside is 80 pesos, about a third of what the same locations cost for AAA’s show in 4 Caminos, heck, 4C gradas cost 100 pesos!!

    The main problem now is that it starts at noon…

  4. “Yujiro says he wants to stay in Mexico at least 3 years, and he’s got 10 Mexican girlfriends.”

    I’m not going there. I’m not going there at all. I just cannot touch that with a 50 foot pole.

  5. What if we let him take the 10 Mexican girlfriends to Japan? Does that void the wanting to stay 3 years part?
