Dinamitas pinned the AAA tag champs and asked for a title shot, and Electro asked for a shot against Dr. Wagner. Al Filo del Ring has video of the main event.

911 was caught fouling Chico Che for the DQ.

Fishman and Kung Fu had problems during their match and fought after.

There was a moment applause for Scorpio.

This weekend’s ratings

Mexico vs Argentina: 44.2 (and that game wasn’t fun to watch for the last half)
CMLL: 2.3 (up 0.4)
AAA: 6.2 (up 1.3)

No World Cup this Sunday, so we should get a better idea if that CMLL number is the new status quo or affected by the World Cup

It took 23 days, but someone finally asked Relampago what was up with his fake Extreme Tiger act at TripleMania. Of course, it took R de Rudo to do it, since AAA still isn’t talking. Relampgo’s explanation: “Dorian told me to challenge whoever I wanted, and I had my eye on Extreme Tiger for a while.” Nonsensical explanation is better than no explanation.

Sangre Azteca will be in France from 07/02 to 07/10 to teach lucha libre. The local promotion promoting the training sessions lists Nitro coming as well. He’s gone before, but there’s no CMLL mention of him this time.

AAA article says “Dorian has more power than everyone thinks“, which begs the question “why doesn’t he just get rid of the guys he likes?” So I guess he has less power than I think?

Spongebob Squarepants in Bolivia

Fuego en el Ring interviews Averno, who wants a shot at Dorada’s Super Light title. There’s also an interview with Silueta, who retired for a  year to become a mom.

Los Piratas have been replaced by Mascara Ano 2000 & Trauma I on Thursday’s IWRG show.

Hoy Rey lost his mask to Epydemius in Monterrey on Sunday.

Pool side lucha libre.

Chessman challenges Aeroboy for the DTU title. Chessman should have better things to do, though Chessman in DTU is kind of a perfect marriage.

The building housing Torreon’s Box Y Lucha commission was flooded due to holes in the roof.

This is a rare article about Bolivian wrestling which doesn’t mention the cholitas, but does have that picture.

Box Y Lucha 2980 has Scorpio’s death.

The newest Ras de Lona is up. Someone seems to have fixed something, because these have been showing up on Monday afternoon the last couple of weeks.

Segunda Caida reviews IWRG from March 4, 2010

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update. Also, Kcidis reposts his cover to the latest LuchaWorld monthly. If Parka ate Park, does that make him a cannibal?

  1. I was going to make a snide remark about Fishman and Kung Fu, until I realized they were both Jr.’s, and that just makes me sad.

  3. Hey, just noticed they used the Scorpio pictures from Luchawiki for Ras de Lona.

  4. When does Aero Star get to challenge whoever he wants?

    “Chessman should have better things to do, though Chessman in DTU is kind of a perfect marriage.”

    Sad but true. 2006 Chessman is not 2010 Chessman… :(

  5. @kidzombie: Good show. I called in to bug Zellner about the Nuevo Laredo show but no one picked up.

    Zellner is quite the 80’s WCCW fan.
