Hiroka, Felino, Sin Salida, Masked Warriors, TripleMania

On yesterday’s 52MX Guerreros del Ring, Hiroka announced she was retiring for a couple years to start a family. She and Mini Damian 666 have talked about this recently in SuperLuchas, so it’s not a big surprise. Hiroka has already been gone for a month, but promised she’s return.

Today’s SuperLuchas cover reveals Felino is the father of Puma King & Tiger Kid. Felino and family had been denying loudly, but everyone suspected that to be the truth.

Sin Salida previews: ESTO, Cesar, Ovaciones – the last two remind us IWRG was supposed to run in during TripleMania (probably to cost UG & Silver King the tag titles), but that Invasion hasn’t been mentioned since the Perros invasion.

TripleMania Previews: Notimex (Parka/Park), SuperLuchas.

Cronicas Y Leyendas looks a the history of the LA Park vs La Parka feud.

Masked Warriors also kicks off with it’s first taping tonight in Palm Springs, CA. If you’re going, let me know how the show goes. There’s an article on PWInsider talking about the commentators, but there were too many blinking ads for me to actually link to it. It’s two people without a lucha background. Minis are supposed to be featured heavily in the early episodes. The roster for that taping includes Oriental, Charly Manson (as Charly Malice), Marco Corleone, Mascarita Dorada, and Hijo del Lizmark, so it would seem unlikely those guys would be making appearances at either of the DF shows. Everyone else seems in play.

Psycho Circus picked up their 600th win in Acapulco. Their win total has quite slowed down.

Another Arena Mexico fan appreciation day.

This is the same day as the finals of the Best of the Super Juniors, so this is almost as if CMLL is saying Sombra won’t be involved in that. It may just be a miscommunication of when Sombra’s going to be back; even if he skips out after the match the previous day, it’ll still be a tight fight to make it back here for this match.

No Masked Warriors show, so Oriental makes his debut here as part of the Invasors, which means he’s also left the Perros del Mal. Hope he sticks here.

Goya Kong is one of Porky’s daughters, who was last seen in Puebla earlier this year. Odd place for a lightning match.
