Arena Coliseo Guadalajara luchadors, wrestling at a mall, in between rounds of a beauty contest.
AAA (SUN) 08/16 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]

3) Mr. Secuestro L Ejecutor, Epidemius, TDN [hair]
4) Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown b Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz

That looks like Zorro beat Ciberentico & El Mesias, but that doesn’t SOUND right.
Ovaciones hypes tonight’s CMLL card, saying the Texano/Terrible/Ephesto vs Shocker/Garza/Toscano match may set up Shocker/Terrible in a hair match, or Ephesto/Toscano in a title match. Other matches have Pierrothito and Dorada back after splitting their matches in CHIKARA over the weekend, and Fantasma/Mascara/Dorada continuing as a team. If CMLL had actual tecinco groups that stuck together longer than two weeks, this would be a nice lead into Dorada being brought in the group with Garza, as a lead-in to all the young tecnicos starting choosing sides and a big 8 on 8 Reyes del Aires where the sides matter. This is much more like a match to have a match (unless Virus being in it means something.)
Over in GDL, tonight’s the big Micltan vs Misterioso match (/likely horrible injustice.)
Dr. Wagner hypes up Friday’s title match. It doesn’t feel like Verano de Escandalo is Friday. Wagner may want to call up Zorro and figure out what he did in Monterrey if he’s going to pull this out. Anyway, looking to find time to write a preview for VdE sometime this week.
In an interview with magazine Emeequis (link is to a PDF) the original Mascarita Sagrada talks about the start of his career, other people taking his name and experiences being a short in Mexico.
Cesar compares CMLL’s attendance on the weekend (he has 6000 on Friday, 8500 on Sunday) to AAA’s attendance (under 2,200), while kinda totally ignoring ticket price. You don’t ‘win’ with people in the seats, you win with the money in the ticket office (and the money in the merchandise stand.)
Kcidis pictures new champ Valiente.
LuchaWorld has Robert on 07/05/08 C3, 07/12/08 C3 (remember when we liked Hijo del Faraon?), and AAA 07/05/08, as well as KrisZ’s news update.
