02/12: Misterio, Naucalpan,

I’ve only seen message board posts about this and no other confirmation, so I’m not 100% sure, but apparently Konnan mentioned on the TNA show (in the Spanish commentary?) that Rey Mysterio Jr. will be in AAA for 03/18 for Rey de Reyes. This, like the WWE appearance in a couple of weeks, looks to be a non-wrestling appearance. I’m surprised WWE would okay it. (box y lucha forum; el martiente)

Let’s be honest: Even if Konnan did say and Rey’s planning on doing it, I’d expect the WWE to pull him, either because of the AAA/TNA relationship or requests from the promoters of the WWE Mexico tour. WWE does seem to let lucha guys work Mexico once a year, but they don’t let anyone work non-affiliated promotions with TV shows as well.

As long as we’re talking about unconfirmed rumors, how about this equation, which I’m late on

Shocker rumored to working with WWE
(plus) Shocker missing from CMLL events with no explanation
(plus) Ocampo’s throwaway line about Shocker being nomadic
==========
??????????

As the story goes, Dusty Rhodes was the guy who got him in TNA (on the strength of his McDonald’s commercial – actually, that’s too good to be true so ignore I said it) and Dusty’s currently working as an idea man for the ECW group.

Mistico beat Black Warrior in the main event of Arena Coliseo. Ovaciones said it went 30 minutes. I may endeavor to get FSE next weekend for the sole purpose of timing it (and finding out it’s like 14 minutes bell to bell time.) Wagner’s team beat Ultimo’s team in the semifinal, with the Doctor grabbing the ropes to pin Guerrero. Ovaciones had perfectly understand results on Saturday for the Arena Mexico show (with the addition of asterisks!) but now either all the tecnicos won, or I can’t tell what’s going on. Probably the latter. Full results whenever they turn up on CMLL.com.

1) Black Stone b Golem
2) Extrano, Super Colt b Celestial, Simbolo

4) Esfinge, Solar, Suicida b Cyborg, Fantasma de la Opera, Xibalva
5) Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Nitro, Veneno b Dr. Wagner Jr., Negro Navarro, Villano III

Tecnicos started accidently hitting each other in the main event, and that was the end of them.

IWRG (THU) 02/15 Arena Naucalpan Lineup
2) Bacteria, Celestial vs Paramedico, Macho II
3) Freelance, Halcon Salvaje, Kid Tiger vs Estallido, Hermano Muerte II, Hermano Muerte III
4) Veneno, Hijo del Diablo, Fantasma de la Opera vs Dr. Cerebro, Suicida, Cerebro Negro [IWRG TRIOS]
5) El Dandy, Electroshock, Villano III vs Black Pentagon, Pierroth Jr., Enterrador

So, who fills in for El Dandy? Esfinge isn’t on the lineup.

Guerreros and Perros both think they’re doing another trios title match soon. (Notimex)

Luchas 2000 355 has Fuerza vs Juvi.

  1. Shocker? I don’t think that likely, but if true, that means, he will worked for every major group out there. BTW, FSE didn’t air the show at 9 or 10, if they aired it, probably was in the wee hours again like last week.

  2. I think Rey de Reyes is going to end up being a benefit show for Konnan. However, I do not know if it will be publicized as such. That would be why Rey would be appearing. It would be a non-wrestling ordeal. Apparently, WWE is fine with it. The only reason he is probably getting to do it is because of Konnan.

    The story with Shocker is that the WWE is wanting a Hispanic due to their increasing Hispanic audience. So, they looked to Mexico. Apparently, there is a push to get Mistico, Perro, and Shocker. Right now, they are favoring Shocker because they know he can speak English and Dusty is pushing for him. They want Perro and Mistico, but they understand they will be a lot harder to get. Plus, there are other disadvantages such as their size and the fact they would probably be criticized in terms of their in-ring work. Shocker can work slower than they can. They wanted Mistico earlier last year. That was why they created the long forgotten “Jr.’s Division” on SmackDown!. They were going to use the division to make him a star because they figured if he were pushed as a Cruiserweight, that would mean instant burial and it would not work. But, we know how that worked out.
