According to the WON:

- Negro Casas’s 25th Anniversary show was initally supposed to be 02/25, with Negro, Felino and Heavy Metal teaming and Pepe Casas refing. Pena had given approval to let Heavy and Pepe work one show for CMLL, but then changed his mind, which became a reason for Heavy to be upset with AAA.

The major reason was Konnan being offered a job as assistant booker. As a guy who stuck with AAA after Konnan jumped, Heavy Metal was upset with Konnan being brought back, and was given a “deal with it or leave” ultimatium. You know which one he picked; he just never talked to AAA after that meeting.

The Negro Casas show(s) will take place once everything’s sorted out with Heavy Metal and AAA, so they can do the initially planned trios match (although it seems unlikely Pepe will be part.)

- Super Crazy, and Nicho are expected to be offered WWE contracts and Juventued Guerrera is “strongly under consideration”. The idea is they’d start post-WM. We’d need to have a pool on “how many days after he debuts will Juvi be asked to leave for erratic behavior?” At any rate, Velocity is gonna be awesome and I’d presume Nicho is off the Congress Theatre show.

No word on if they’ll get their masks back like Rey did. I don’t think you can go back with Juvi (and no one remembers Super Crazy in a mask), but I think it’d be better for Nicho to go back to the horns if it all possible. It’d be a pretty unique look in the WWE Universe, and you need unique looks to get by.

There had been a mention AAA was considering bringing in Nicho to do the old Psicosis vs new Psicosis fued (which was done at least for one match in Tijuana), but I’d guess not now.

- the Ultimo Guerrero/Mistico match was one of the lowest drawing shows of the year (though still over 10,000) and not a great match. Better luck next time.

Ovaciones is down again, this time at the .com address. I wonder if they forget to pay their domain name bill.

I did check in on Saturday, where the lead was “the most interesting thing about Friday’s show happened before it, when a new comic book featuring the stars of CMLL was announced. Really, the show was that run of the mill.”

La Diabolica, who’s listed as CMLL Women’s Champion but long ago left to be an indepedent wrestler (before I started watching) turned up in AAA six women’s tag match at the 3/4 TV Taping.

Maybe another recap tonight.

Or not. Blame GT4. And the lack of one hour shows I can sleep thru.

Thing that shall make it hard to work today: Lucha Libre Magazine. Internet Magazine, so all the articles and pictures are on the web, so it’s quite fun to browse thru.

03/04 (FRI) Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Valiente & Meteorix vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Mascarita Sagrada/Bam-Bam/Tzuki vs Pierrothito/Espectrito/Mini Violencia
3) Satanico/Misteriso/Alan vs Emilio/Taguchi/Okumura
4) Vampiro vs Black Warrior [Lightning]
5) Porky/Negro/Mascara Magica vs Cien Caras/Mascara 2000/Apolo
6) Wagner/Mistico/Dos Caras Jr. vs Ultimo/Rey/Garza

Heavy Metal is also scheduled to appear, and I guess we’ll find out who owns the name pretty quickly.

Tonight is when they’re offically annoucing the major card lineup, which I didn’t say correctly before. I wonder if the change in Lightining Matches might mean an added match – or maybe Black Warrior just wants revenge for the last singles match between them.

Robert suggested I guess at the oh so big 03/18 card. I couldn’t control my excitement, so I peeked without guessing.

03/18 (FRI) Arena Mexico Dos Leyenda Show
1) TBA
2) TBA
3) Dr. Wagner, Super Porky, Black Warrior vs Universo 2000, Apolo Dantes, Satanico
4) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Negro Casas vs Rey Bucanero, Averno, Mephisto
5) LA Park, Shocker, Mistico vs Hector Garza, Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy
6) Perro Aguayo Jr. and Perro Aguayo Sr. vs Mascara Ano 2000 and Cien Caras

This is pretty eh for a big card, but I guess they’re banking everything on Perro Aguayo Sr.’s One Time Only (and we really really meant it, really) Return. Everything else is uninspired.

They’ll announce the full card tommorow.

Ovaciones throws out a Ultimo/Mistico mask match, which is hilariously insane.

Edit: It’s not the offical release yet, shouldn’t be 1.0, uh duh.

Reports have Heavy Metal out, Ciberenetico in, and me still being really dumb when it comes to AAA. Winners all around!

I’m guessing they mention him leaving from AAA because they expect for him to show up elsewhere soon? Ovaciones sure thinks teaming with Felino and Negro during the March big show makes sense. I’m sure he’ll be around for the Negro Casas Victory Tour.

3) Safari/Sagrado/Virus b Dr. X/Nitro/Veneno
Ovaciones says best match of the night
4) Atlantis/Niebla/Shocker b Los Pierroths
5) Universo 2000 b Dr. Wagner Jr.
Two falls to none. Universo pulled Wagner’s mask before the match and now wants a UWA Title match.

On March 1st, Negro Casas got in on that “Averno makes you look good while defending your title belt” bit at Arena Aficion de Pachuca. I haven’t offically heard Averno lost, but I think it might be a safe bet.

03/04 (FRI) Arena Mexico Lineup
