IWRG (THU) 03/11 Arena Naucalpan [Estrellas del Ring]
4) Barba Roja, Negro Navarro, Trauma II DQ Black Terry, Dr. Cerebro, Hijo del Signo
5) Trauma I b Angelico [SALAVADOR AMERICAS]
Trauma’s the new champion, and video’s already up. Navarros did not not get along with Barba Roja, which led to the DQ.
Didn’t get around to doing a preview for Rey de Reyes, and I’m not planning to run a chat tonight. The plan is to do one next week, but you’re welcome to comment on the shows if you’re hitting F5 all night. Not a lot of news today about Rey de Reyes. AAA noted Hernandez had arrived last night (but not Kennedy/Anderson yet? – odd to do a deal with TNA, when they seem not to be using that guy’s TNA name because no one knows it.)
Ovaciones has an interview with Latin Lover, who pushes himself as the Mexican hero of lucha libre, out to prove Mexican lucha libre is the best by taking the title away from the Puerto Rician and making sure the American doesn’t get it. He’s got no way to talk about Latin as if it he was an outsider, but give him time. Latin also talks about wanting to renegotiate his contract after Rey de Reyes; it sounds like he wants more dates (and more money that goes with it.)
[poll id=”60″]Previews of tonight’s Arena Mexico show: El Sol de Cuatula, Notimex, ESTO, Record. Obviously a lame duck show, but the Bracito de Oro/Mini Warrior lightning match might be going somewhere. In a short interview about that feud, Mini Warrior says he’s disappointed Mascarita Dorada has left CMLL, but Oro’s mask would look good in his trophy case.
Hijo del Santo’s version of the events (in his column in Record, via mariogdl at el martinete): the day before he was supposed to leave, CMLL offered to double Mascarita Dorada’s pay if he no-showed Santo’s tour. Dorada said no, because he had give his word. CMLL then threatened to fire him if he used the Dorada name on the tour, despite Dorada believing he was the one who owned that name. Dorada used the Mascarita Plateada name (Santo owns the name, gave him permission for only one night) on the tour to make CMLL happy, hoping he could patch things up on his return, but no such luck. Santo turns this into a rant about how CMLL’s has a vendetta against him (“warning” the people on this tour that everyone was going to not show up, calling immigration on him on a trip in the US) and steals people’s gimmicks (Mistico/Incognito.)
News reporter types keep asking Volador if Mascara Dorada will be the new member of Super Sky Team, Volador continues to say they’re not taking applications at the moment and Dorada is missing something. The job market is tough right now.
People who are getting jobs: Valiente, who will team with Skayde and Turbo as Team Mexico for CHIKARA’s King of Trios next month.
If you purchase a ticket for Dos Leyenads, CMLL will allow you to attend a public training session for the four luchadors in the mask main event. The session is Wednesday at 4:30 pm, an odd time.
Dhani Jones explains he was just in Mexico to learn lucha libre, but then Bam Bam Bigelow shoved him Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. yelled at his friend and he had to intervene.
Tinieblas is looking for a new Alushe. A bit late in the game for that.
The Gladiatores has a recap of the Park/Rayo vs Demon/Canek show in Chicago last week (which looks like it sold out.)
R de Rudo has a recap of their interview with Halloween, Damian, and X-Fly.
There’s an interview here about the AAA video game, but I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet.
LuchaWorld had Alferdo on IWRG from 02/28, and the latest Slammin’ Stan.
Segunda Caida finds end more 2009 IWRG, this time from 08/13.
Kcidis’ Dinastia Wagner poster meets the Dinastia Wagner.

Random news bit that will only really affect me, but is interesting. Peru Wrestling is reporting that AAA will be airing on “America TV Lima” on Sunday’s at 11 am.
will there be a chat tonight?
“Valiente, who will team with Skayde and Turbo as Team Mexico for CHIKARA’s King of Trios next month.” This alone eclipses anything AAA has done this year. (Actually there’s alot of thing that CMLL & Chikara has done has ecplipsed AAA, but you get the point.) Add the fact that Valiente is teaming with Turbo & Skayde, just reeks of awesomeness!
No chat tonight.
