The King Lives! Long Live The King! Chac-Mol is Arturo Varela from of Neza, 33 with 15 years spent as a wrestler. They did a rudo fan hair vs tecnico fan hair with the segunda, and the tecnico fan lived up to the stip when his team went down.

The Observer says Ricky Banderas is headed into TNA once his contract with WSX ends. There’s also a story about TripleMania being perhaps moved to a new date/time.

There’s plenty of bloody Mistico pictures in the Box Y Lucha thread about his title win. Vampiro appeared at this show, and it sounds like he’s returning to this arena on 05/01.

Box Lucha 2813 has Solitario, LA Park and Dr. Wagner on the cover.

LA Park wants to win the masks of Villano III, Dr. Wagner, and El Hijo del Santo before he retires. Not only does that mean he’s never retiring, he’s going to be heartbroken when he finds out Villano III’s been unmasked for seven years. Park is talking about promoting in his hometown of Monclova.

An article in El Nuevo Diario says Jack Veneno is bringing a Mexican lucha libre show to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in July. Santo, Mil, and the Wagner brothers are among those listed.

ESTO has a Wagner/Chivas article here.

They worked an angle off Nicho’s firing. Konnan came oout early in the show, and protested Nicho being fired, seeing as he was an indy wrestler allied with the Legion, not an AAA one, so how could AAA fire him? Konnan vowed to cause chaos until he got a face to face in ring discussion with an AAA offical. Before the semimain, Konnan got that discussion – with Cibernetico, who decided he was good enough. Cibernetico claimed Nicho was irresponsible and a coward, so he ran. On the other hand, Cibernetico was happy Konnan didn’t run, because that would mean Cibernetico could end him for good. Unlike all the foreign guys who Konnan has brought into to end Cibernetico, Cibernetico was going to get the job done on Konnan.

Main event had interference, but the Hell Brothers ended up winning. Zorro won the semimain with a foul on Fuerza (I think), and then Fuerza and Octagon brawled. Ozz pinned Laredo Kid in the atomico, and Laredo had to be stretchered out.

The mystery team in the segunda was – uh, no one. Exciting! Gran Apache beat Oriental, so we might have a mixed tag title defense coming up. After the minis won the opener, Kenzo and Mesias beat them up to set up Konnan’s first bit.

Next:
– 04/15 @ Boca del Rio Veracruz; I’m guessing we don’t get a lineup this week
– 04/20 @ Xalapa
04/27 @ Hidalgo

Bonus:

For the first time I can recall, AAA also posted detailed house show previews on their webpage – they’ve been nondescript listings previously. They don’t actually say much, but…

AAA (FRI) 04/06 Arena Azteca Budokan Lineup
1) Canibal & Kaori vs Takamura & Takuya Lee
2) Kumo & Maxima vs Galactico & Skyderman
3) Mascarita Sagrada & Octagoncito vs Mini Apache & Mini Cibernetico
4) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Oriental vs Escoria, Ozz, Scoria
5) Chessman & Cibernetico vs La Parka Jr. & Super Porky

Funny thing is, they’ve already posted the 04/13 lineup here. There’s not much related between the two, except Maxima and Skyderman are apparently feuding.

The other lineup is the 04/03 Feria Internacional del Caballo one. The preview talks about AAA running this building for 20 years, which…no. There’s a math issue there.

Magazines – everyone’s doing Black Shadow covers this week, naturally
Super Luchas 203 (includes a photo of Goto with the belt)
Box Y Lucha #2809 and Alternate Cover with Mistico

Lots of articles about Shadow over the weekend as well – jornada has one.

Fray Tormenta received a tribute in LA this weekend – I think this was the non-FMLL show.

Tijuana referee Angel Reyes retired on last Thursday’s show. He’s been a referee for over 25 years. He was awarded a plaque for distinguished work by the commission.
