I'm not going to be able to see it but tomorrow's CMLL show looks intersting. Curious to see which of the old guys can still go (I've seen Fuerza Guererra look p good recently) and Dorada vs. Cavernario should be great.

Does anyone know if there's heat between Mil Mascaras and the office? If he shows up occasionally on NOSAWA's indie shows you'd think this would've been a natural fit. O f course, he also could've just requested way too much money to have been worth it.

Tonight's Puebla card is headlined by a tag title match and also features a lightning trios match in the tercera. Isn't that kinda rare? The vast majority of the ones that come to mind are singles matches.






Reyes del Aire is Friday and Mascara Dorada is still booked for it.

What are the odds they just put the Dorada mask on someone else

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!

They put it on Matt Taven and none are the wiser.

Rey Escorpion was replaced by Pierroth on last night's show. I didn't think anything of a CMLL guy missing a random date at first but....

A son, yes. I think he's had multiple but only one's taking up wrestling (at least currently)

Interesting. I thought El Hijo Del Santo was saving the "El Nieto Del Santo" name for his son.

Does anyone know what happened to Axel, the other grand son of El Santo and El Hijo Del Santo's nephew?

Google has an El Santo doodle today for the US, most of Latin America, and Japan. Blue Demon makes an appearance as well.

Here's a link for Canadians, Euros, and Australians

Alberto no showed Heroes Inmortales tonight capping off a disasterous week of news for AAA.

From the Observer:

quote:

The recent exodus of so many wrestlers is because of pay issues. There are guys who are as much as two months behind on pay, which doesn’t sound good. TripleMania payoffs were much lower than expected and we also heard it wasn’t that hard in Mexico City to find free tickets to that show. The top guys are being paid on time because they have to do that

Fenix is this week’s departure, but that’s been expected ever since he moved from Mexico City. He’s now working as Rey Fenix. Nobody yet knows how this will affect his standing in Lucha Underground. Because of the value of the dollar vs. the peso, he can make far more working indies in the U.S. than in Mexico, like his brother, Pentagon Jr., who is still affiliated with AAA

Dorian Roldan went to a house show by a local promotion in Monterrey a few weeks ago and got unmercifully booed. He was clearly not expecting that and tried to get over by telling the fans that Pentagon Jr. would be on the 10/2 Heroes Inmortales show to get a pop. The problem is he knew he wouldn’t since he was booked in the U.S. that weekend

Jack Evans knocked the company's management and creative direction in a recent interview I can't find rn.

He's probably smart breaking ties with LU at this point unfortunately. Him and Angelico could probably do a solid run in NXT or either one of them would be a shoo in for the next CWC.

If WWE ain't interested, the indies will probably happily book them. Hopefully Jack doesn't start flaking out on PWG again if they're one of them, I know he showed for his most recent bookings with them, but still. I could see WWE trying to use them for the Dusty Classic.

The good news for them is that they may not have to. Sexy Star still works LU despite leaving AAA and it looks like Fénix still might be able to as well despite AAA's threats. Of course, who the hell knows how much longer they're gonna last? They've lost tremendous amounts of money and seem to be losing momentum if anything instead of gaining it.

I hope they're saving their money because the Wellness Policy's pot tax will eat through an NXT salary pretty quickly

If the AAA guys who work with LU can leave AAA and stay with LU they might be able to make more money. I know there were a ton of rumors that AAA skimmed off the top from their LU pay.

Another interesting thing that may indicate there's more of a split between LU and AAA than before is that Marty was billed as Marty Causas rather than Marty the Moth on yesterday's AAA show.

thecubsfan posted:

Interesting that Marty the Moth is specifically listed as “Marty Casaus”, not his Lucha Underground name. I’d think AAA would have free reign to use the LU characters – maybe it’s an oversight, but maybe it’s a story.

CMLL's card tonight looks interesting and it's starting right now. Volador vs. Cavernario title match plus a Munoz bros trio in the main event. Check out the segunda if you're not familar with those names, most of the guys in there are good young workers.
