05/08: notes
TheGladiatores reports on the Lucha Libre Expo:
Day 1 (Pancracio/IWRG)
Day 2 (AULL/fashion show/CMLL)
Day 3 (DTU/AAA). LuchaLibre has video from the CMLL main event.
(Reforma via Jazzo) Heavy Metal hypes up the hair match with Toscano by saying: "We have no rivalarly, I just challenged him and he accepted." I think Emilio vs Pupura might have a more exciting hair match. Meanwhile, Damian 666 says he was surprised to be honored for his 25 years of wrestling at the lucha libre expo. Which is odd, since we all knew. He says his retirement is far away, but his family would prefer he doesn't do any more hardcore matches so he'll probably do few of them.
Notimex has stories on Tuesday's Coliseo show and Averno & Mephisto's reaction to the title rematch being announced (spoiler: they think they will win.) Ovaciones seems to be picking up Notimex's articles now. No new unique articles from them today.
AAA (SUN) 05/11 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Baby Fox vs Invasor
2) Diabolik & Guerrero Blanco vs Aguila Extrema & Euforia (Monterrey)
3) Estrellita & Mascarita Divina vs Mini Chessman & Poly Star
4) Casandro, Chico Calavera, Sangre Chicana vs Antifaz del Norte, Jesse, Yuriko
5) El Elegido, Pimpinela Escarlata, Super Fly vs Cuervo, Escoria, Espíritu
SuperLuchas has video and results from the 05/02 Diabolico & Horoscopo vs Rey Fuego & Kamakazee double mask vs hair match.
Shane McMahon has a press conference in Mexico, with Ric Flair, Mr. Kennedy, Mick Foley and Super Crazy also expected to be there.. There hasn't been much talk about opening up a WWE Mexico group of late - I think it'd be a "Germany invades Russia" level idea - but that SuperLuchas post talks about the rumors. Surely most of it will be talk to push tickets and lip service about bringing in lucha talent. WWE's pre-PPV clips seem just about soundsbites and rabid fans easily compressed into a :30 video package; there might be more news in the post conference chattering.

Oriental, Antifaz, Cynthia and Martha all making returns. UGGGGGGGGGGLY lineup.
This is probably only the beginning of Martha - gotta figure they'll keep using her at least until Reina de Reinas.
It was brought up that Abismo Negro vs Mr. Niebla in a mask match wouldn't make sense unless Black Abyss was already dropped. He's not here again - perhaps it has?
who's Luchador Sopresa? is he just a local guy?
replying to Bruce
It's a "surprise wrestler"
replying to Chui
