July 11, 2002

Damn.  I've haven't updated in days, so I gotta rant for a minute.  This Galavision/CMLL time switch is awful.  Sunday through Friday, I keep making mental reminders to watch (or at least tape) the Saturday morning show.  But then Friday night rolls around, and before I know it, I'm face down in a filthy gutter with an empty forty ounce bottle in hand, with crows picking at my hair.  Saturday morning is all about recovery, and it isn't until I've had my noon bowl of menudo that I realize that I fucked up and missed the single greatest show on television.  I usually catch the main events though, including last weeks return of La Familia de Tijuana (damn, how HUGE did Halloween look.  The guy is ripped!)

"But, Rob.  Why don't you just make a sacrifice and take it easy on Friday night?"

Why?  Because that's not what Santo would've wanted.  Now...on with the belated update.

News has been pretty tame lately, and I'm not sure that any of this is worthy of getting it's own little graphic, so I've just bunched them together for one nifty little story.
AAA recently held their tenth TripleMania show in Madero, which was main-evented by a four way mask match featuring Octagon, Pentagon III, Mascara Sagrada and Mascara Maligna .  In end, Pentagon III lost his mask, but the much groovier story here concerns the semi-main event.  Gronda, Alebrije, La Parka Jr and Latin Lover were set to take on Cibernetico, Monster, Abismo Negro and a surprise luchador.  Speculation was running rampant on who this mystery luchador with several lackluster names being thrown around.  Althought the rudos ended up losing the match, the mystery luchador turned out to be one of the wackiest gimmicks in wrestling history, Leatherface (based on the charming killer from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre film series).  Although not considered a huge talent in the ring, IT'S LEATHERFACE!  If you're keeping score, AAA now has Chucky, the Killer from Scream and now Leatherface.  If they can manage to sign the wrestlers that portray Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, I will officially be AAA's biggest fan.
Pierroth Jr, the charismatic mouthpiece for CMLL's Los Boriquas, will make his return to Arena Mexico on July 12.  He will be teaming with the two least entertaining Boriquas (can you guess who?) against Mascara Ano 2000, Apolo Dantes, Gran Markus Jr, in what should be one hell of a bathroom break.  Pierroth Jr, who was one of CMLL's top active rudos a couple years back, had suffered a career threatening injury about 2 years ago.
Due to some great in-ring chemistry at recent WWE house shows, it is being widely speculated that Rey Mysterio Jr will enter a feud with Tajiri once he makes his WWE debut.  It should be noted that Paul Heyman, who booked the legendary Tajiri/SuperCrazy feud in ECW, is the head writer for the Smackdown show.

Remember the last time we had a contest, I promised the next one would have a better prize?  Well I lied!  Hahahahahahaha!  1000% Rudo!  Whew...anyway, some friends of mine who frequent their local 98 cent store (cheap bastards) recently picked up some discounted WCW coloring books.  The books are pretty awful, but luckily are saved by several sheets of stickers included in each one.  Knowing of my obsessive fascination with all things masked, they were gracious enough to give me one of these coloring books, as one of the sheets included an awesome sticker of...LA PARKA!  In full on L.W.O. gear (not to mention his very Mexican boots and belt), all of the chair-swinging glory that is La Parka is beautifully depicted in what I like to call, The Greatest Sticker of All Time. 
Regretfully, things took a turn for the worst at that point, as I was faced with the pressure of what to do with the sumbitch.  The only thing that is cool enough to stick a La Parka sticker on would be another La Parka sticker...but that's just ridiculous.  And saving the sticker wouldn't work either, as the knowledge that I didn't utilize a sticker of this magnitude would leave me feeling foolish and empty.  So now, I am faced with the decision of what do with it, and the pressure is slowly beginning to melt my brain.  I can no longer take this madness, so I've decided to pass the damn thing on to one of you. 
All ya' gotta do is nose around this site a little, as I've hidden a copy of the sticker within the pages of VivaLaLuchaLibre.Net.  Send me an e-mail stating exactly where you found the it, and I'll mail the cursed sticker right away.  Be warned though, once you receive it, you may never be the same.  Lord knows I won't.  Good luck, and happy hunting. Viva La Lucha Libre!
