Mr. Aguila & Perro Aguayo’s team on Los 5 Magnificos has moved on to the finals, which will take place over the next two weeks. I’d figure CMLL would go in overdrive to get people to vote for Perro Aguayo Jr. (Mr. Aguila might as well change his name), but I can’t even figure how they’d do more than they seem to be already doing. I suspect no matches, all video packages.
A few notes from the AAA’s website update
– Psicosis II is officially a member of the Vipers – but he’s off the 05/30 card (replaced by Super Calo)
– Abismo Negro is also off the 05/30 with no mention; he’ll be replaced by an unanounced Foreign Legion wrestler. This would be the third straight taping Abismo’s missed and no one’s saying anything about injury
– Cibernetico is promising a surprise for Mesias on this show.
According to this artice, Santo was scheduled to work on a show yesterday with Mil Mascara, Silver King, Dr. Wagner, Mascara Sagrada, Blue Demon, Cien Caras, and Los Brazos. I’m thinking that’s wrong, or a lot of people arne’t going to be showing up in CMLL any time soon. (Speaking of, the article also lists it as a CMLL show, so they may not have their details correct.)
The latest Wrestling Observer says AAA offered Hulk Hogan the price he was looking for (something in the six figures) to work TripleMania, and he said no. He’s got no interest in working for AAA at the moment. AAA is still talking to Paul Wight, have talked to Sabu about working a few dates, and Sean Waltman is supposed to return as a regular act.
The Observer also mentions AAA was talking to Ayoko Hamada and Tiana Ringer (the Canadian women who filled in for Christy Hemme at TripleMania last year) as Foreign Legion women to work against the tecnicas, so they’re the best guess for the mystery women slots.
