Nothing
like a good wrestling show to rejuvenate the lucha libre section of the
brain! Califa Lucha Libre
Estilo had their debut show this weekend, and were kind enough to give
us access to the event. Those
of you who’re getting impatient with some of the skinnier site
sections here at Viva will be glad to know that we took advantage
of this, so expect several updates to occur throughout the next few days.
The show itself was a great
debut for the new promotion, and we look forward to receiving reports
from any future Califa shows happening down the line.
Scorpio Jr. successfully defended his IWRG Intercontinental title
against Rockero Del Diablo in a great main event.
We’ve received interviews from both wrestlers, so make sure to
check out the Features and Profiles.
The Califa LLE coverage officially begins below, and continues
over in the Photo section with Rob Analog’s drunken
photo rampage. Viva La
Lucha Libre!

It’s
no secret that we here at VivaLaLuchaLibre.Net are giant Guerreros Del
Infierno fans. Every time
they're on Galavision, we crowd around the small tv (which is actually
sitting on a larger, broken tv) and mark out for their cool ass
submission moves, and Rey Bucanero’s bitchin’ arm-slapping taunt.
As you can imagine, when we heard that they would be getting a
chance to compete in front a large American audience when they wrestle
for MLW in
Florida
on August 22, we were quite excited.
Sweetening the deal, they’ll be facing lucha libre’s long
lost cousins, the Spanish Announce Team, in a dream match of
international proportions.
While attending the stellar
Califa LLE show, Rob Analog had the chance to talk to the Maximos, as they were winding down
after the show.
Jose, the
more talkative of the two, is very familiar with the GdI, as he admitted
that the Spanish Announce Team are big lucha fans, “Yeah, we watch the
Galavision show when we can. We like Super Crazy…Los Guerreros…
and Ricky Marvin.”
Aware of Ultimo Guerrero
and Rey Bucanero’s tendency to work their opponent’s legs with
multiple chain-submission moves, Jose is taking steps to ensure that
he’s 100% for their MLW match. Although
still nursing a dislocated ankle, he was confident that he’d be more
than ready for Los Guerreros.
With a confident look about
them, they were quick to give their predictions for their eventual
showdown in
Florida
, “We’re excited! It’ll be great. We look forward to
learning from them…and they can learn from us. We’ll beat them
though. I can’t wait!”
I’d like to thank the
bookers over at MLW for coming up with this classic matchup, and can’t
wait to see what is sure to be a phenomenal bout.
Be sure to check out their official
site for more information.
