Other News
A flickr photo gallery mentions Averno snuck in a foul before beating Mascara in Puebla. Averno’s not on next week’s card there, so they didn’t do it to set a rematch. Also, there was a moment of applause of Chico Madrid.
Stuka tells Fuego en el Ring that he’d like to form a permanent trio with Metal Blanco & Palacio Negro, and then challenge for the trios titles. I would like to see that match, but it’s always a good idea to talk up the Guadalajara guys while in Guadalajara.
Cesar – excuse me, “El Fideicomiso” – says an AAA referee visited CMLL offices recently, looking to make a move. If Hijo de Tirantes or Copetes jumps and there are twice as many CMLL matches with screwy referees, I will be very annoyed. It’s one of those or Piero; Pepe Casas probably would’ve moved long ago if he ever was going to switch.
Rob has a recap of the IWL iPPV and the top dives of 1995 in one two parts.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.
Nikita reviews the 2011 Reyes del Aire. I’m in the process of putting up the 2006 Reyes del Aire on YouTube; this one at least had a better crew than that.

Toscano’s teaming with Angel de Oro & Rush quite a bit; maybe they were planning on putting the national trios champs back together before Diamante’s injury?

That’s a pretty stacked card for a Tuesday GDL. I hope the GDL programmers have pity and air the Rey Cometa match instead of the women’s match.
i read on Krisz’s update that Pequeno Halcon worked a card with Santo. How is he still getting CMLL bookings? I thought that was illegal for them?
Mascarita Dorada did Lucha London shows for Santo in Dec ’08 while working in CMLL, not long after the ‘ban’ started.
Strange. Or does it not apply to minis?!
Mascarita Dorada was outside the company for a period when that show happened. Pequeno Halcon is likely in trouble for working that show if they find out. There were two other CMLL minis who no-showed, so maybe they figured it out, or maybe Pequeno Halcon will point out there were so many matches on that show that he didn’t know Santo was the actual main event.
@Rob Nice rundown of the IWL iPPV… I was happy I was able to help make it happen for them . I think they did a great job and the buys weren’t as bad as previously noted.
Doubt it is the last one you will be seeing ;-)
@american gigolo: Excellent job getting something like that going! Huge step in the right direction for a Mexican company.
@Tim:
Maybe it was another Pequeno Halcon? For example, a Pequeno Halcon worked a Tijuana show on April 24th, a Pequeno Halcon worked a Villahermosa show on April 30th, and so on. All these weren’t shows with other CMLL wrestlers, and they were way off Distrito Federal, so they surely had own Pequeno Halcon versions. Not to forget that there were already some Pequeno Halcons in the past, perhaps they are still active.
@Ringo: Even if it wasn’t another Pequeno Halcon, that’s the story the CMLL guy should use.
