Loco Max & Rush signed contracts yesterday for a hair vs hair match next Sunday. Article says it’ll be in Arena Mexico, so they’ll be running shows there back to back Sundays.
Cibernetico is offended that the current Vipers would team with his rivals – he started the Vipers, they can’t go against the founders. I’d believe someone if they told me this was the first time Cibernetico realized there were new Vipers.
Amusing story for a slow day: a teaser for a “shoot” interview with Dixie Carter mentions one of the CMLL luchadors propositioned her when they were in for the World X Cup in 2008. That team was Ultimo Guerrero, Averno, Volador and Rey Bucanero, and the preview clip shown doesn’t name any of them specifically. The post linked to wonders if maybe that’s why there’s no CMLL/TNA agreement now, but it’s worth remembering the TNA guys showed up in CMLL after the World X Cup, won the Gran Prix and challenged the CMLL Trios titles. At the time, CMLL was building towards an Alex Shelley/Ultimo Guerrero hair vs mask match, but it was said the two sides couldn’t agree on money and haven’t worked much together since (outside of Dark Angel working in both places.)
Maldito Jr. & Ninja de Fuego retained the Hidalgo Tag Team championship in Arena Aficion.
Over the weekend, Puebla futboler Gabriel Pereyra got yellow carded for putting on a Mistico mask after scoring a goal This is his move; back in 2005, Pereya was playing with Cruz Azul when he also wore a Mistico mask and a Cruz Azul mask. It started catching on, so FIFA banned it.

Random minis cibernetico followed a trio of Maximo, Rayo and Porky. This one has a bit for everyone.
I will eat my hat if the final of next Tuesday’s Torneo isn’t Electrico vs Demus. Can anyone possibly come up with another possible final? In fact I’m so confident I’ll predict the exact order of elimination: Saturno, Cisne, Fantasy, Pequeno Nitro, Pequeno Olimpico, Pequeno Violencia and then whoever loses to the winner. Can anyone picture Cisne or Fantasy winning a trophy?
Clearly I have to figure out how to record that local GDL show with a main event like that coming up. Not to mention I know Dr. Lucha wants to keep an archive of every Rush match available.
Speaking of Rush, Why does Meltzer continue to call him Rouge? Dr. Lucha needs to set him straight.
Dr. Lucha is actually doing a road trip going to Vegas to watch Masked Warriors then taking his private jet to Guadalajara to watch Rush win!
Because Meltzer doesn’t know what he is talking about in the year 2010.
