A Wagner promotion show, the annual Christmas one here. There were a couple more undercard matches unreported. Poor turnout for this, though I think it may look worse than it actually is since all the shots show the empty grandstands and not the full-ish sections near ringside.
Still no word who the Pierroth Jr. was – the only picture of him is from far away. Lider showed up in IWRG the next day with just the sides of his head cut, not far off from his normal look, and it didn’t make any sense for him to lose. Silver King & Relampago ran in to help Pierroth Jr. I wonder if it was perhaps someone very familiar under the mask, and the promotion was worried about an angry response to an anti-climatic reveal. Lucha promotions don’t usually worry about that, but there’s not many reasons to do what they did.
Zorro fouled Wagner for the pin. Wagner wants a title shot on the next show here. No date for that.
Molotov will replace Guerrero Maya in this Saturday’s Reyes del Aires. ESTO says Maya will be out an indefinite time due to contracting hepatitis, and they’re still waiting to find out what type it is. The lead story in the article is the first confirmation someone in CMLL knows Mistico is headed to Japan next month. I was getting a little bit concerned.
When Lucha Libre USA announced it’s first show at the Hard Rock in Albuquerque, it was promoted as the new home for all the tapings. One taping later, they’ve announced a show for San Manuel Casino in California on 01/20. No mention of it being a TV taping, but all the shows they’ve announced previously were at least planned to be TV tapings.
Nikita reviewed Low Rider vs Drastick Boy. Low Rider turns up in DTU/PdM/IWL early matches, but actually started out as a US indy guy who moved down to Mexico (and is some how related to Super Crazy.)

Whoever is booking these shows wants to make life hard for Sangre Azteca.
To be clear, it is my understanding that Low Rider is from Texas, and has been working/training lucha since before he was in high school. He befriended Shiima Xion when he went down to work for DTU, and Rider ended up coming back to workout with Xion and work US indy shows.
He is still in HS, but I’m pretty sure he lives in Mexico…
Either was he is sintomas……
@Nikita: I swear there was a Low Rider who worked NYC indies around 2003-2004 that looked exactly like this guy and did all the same moves. So either he’d have been 10-12 years old then (impossible) or he’s currently in his 8th year of high school (very possible).
There was a Low Ryder in New York and New Jersey, he worked for JAPW and was billed as from Guadalajara, but he was from Washington. Perhaps that’s the guy you mean. He later became Lo Lincoln and worked for the New York Wrestling Connection, but he had lots of tattoos and was a different person.
the show for LLUSA is a house show on the 20th. the tv show will always and only be filmed in Hard Rock Casino in Albuquerque. the show in California is the first of many “house shows” LLUSA will be running in accordance with the tv filming this year

@Ringo: That explains that. Thanks.
He used to be Black Master while he was in DTU, he lost his mask in a match at Expo Lucha 2009 in DTU FASHION against Dinastia , then as u wrote in the history he became a good friend of Shiima Xion and in fact he was the one that recommended that name Low Rider, he lives in Tulancingo, hope this info works.
Thanks everyone for their info on Low Rider.
