Dr. Cerebro vs Virus sounds fun, I've only seen Cerebro twice but he does some pretty wild submission holds and Virus is really good

Drop the La from Sombra and claim it's a new character so he gets to put his mask back on.

Not a bad idea, La Parka used to be Principe Island, lost his hood, then got re-gimmicked.

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.

Rey Fenix did an interview with Mas Lucha where he said that he did not no-show Triplemania but AAA never sent him plane tickets and returned his phone calls despite continuing to advertise him for the show. Since then they've done everything in their power to get him blackballed in Mexico from trying to use the commission to telling promotions not to book him. AAA sucks!

Is Konnan completely out of power in AAA now? I'd assume so considering this turn of events. What's the name of that new promotion using Parka?

Looks like Psicosis is winding down his career. He's gonna wrap up his AAA commitments, then he wants to wrestle Rey Mysterio 4 or 5 times before calling it a day. I hope PWG gives him a holler for one of those, that'd be amazing.

why is Ultmo Dragon called El Rey del Shabu Shabu

Well

quote:

Shabu-shabu is a Japanese nabemono hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water.

Maybe he's got a cooking gimmick now? Might be a rib, too. One time I went to an indy show where instead of "Huka Blues", Sabu came out to "Stop" by the Spice Girls. I'm pretty sure it was Don Callis and the crew loving with him, but absolutely nobody brought any attention to it, maybe this is like that.

Alundra/Bull didn't get much time but it'd be fun to see live

Fair enough, I missed that when I was reading the card, if it got around 10-15 minutes it'd be good.

Wish WWE would have inducted Bull instead of fuckin' Brutus, but it's not my HOF, I guess.

Man this loving sucks. I'm hardly an expert on Silver King's career, but he was always super fun to watch wherever I saw him pop up, was a highlight of the WCW cruiserweight era. and at only 51 years old he had plenty more to offer the business. He'll be missed.

One day I was watching Thunder and he did this beautiful moonsault where he jumped into the ring over the ropes, and onto the middle rope in one smooth motion. I think it might have been during the period he was teaming with Dandy as Los Fabulosos.

I didn't take Silver King very seriously as talent before that, but it blew my mind, that would have been impressive from a guy who was Rey's size, never mind a guy who was around 220 or so

That's a solid lineup. Wonder if there'll be the tried and true "Border Guard" gimmick you often see in So Cal or if that's retired now that ICE have basically become movie villains and aren't even hiding it now.

edit: It changed to just Cavernario and Caristico.

edit 2: N/M, saw that La Migra is on the card after some further investigation. Guess that's some easy rudo heat~!

Since even searching for Perro Sr just pulls up a billion videos/articles about this son's death, can some kind soul direct me to some of his most important matches?

He had a match with Konnan that drew a huge crowd.

edit: I mixed up who he feuded with with one of Konnan's most notable feuds. K-dog feuded with Jake Roberts in Mexico, not Perro. Perro also feuded with Cien Caras and it drew a lot of money.
