NOTICIAS

AAA is filling the Guerra de Titanes gap for TV by making the Arena Neza show scheduled for 12/5 a TV taping in a decision that was made before the GdT cancellation was even announced. Konnan stated on MLW Radio that he found out about the cancellation on Sunday and he thinks it will be rescheduled to another date soon. Konnan also on MLW Radio admitted that the Viva el Rey shows promoted by ZZinc basically bombed mainly due to very high ticket prices as the plan was to attract a different level of customers than AAA usually does and it backfired.

The most important show of the week of course took place Wednesday at Arena Mexico as the annual Bodybuilding Contest took place live on the CMLL YouTube channel and the following competed and placed in these categories.

La Sombra talked to Miedo Tiempo this week about life in NXT and he said that before he joined the WWE had talked with guys like Alberto del Rio, El Caristico, Kalisto, & Magno about what they have gone through in making the jump from Mexico to WWE and all of them told him that NXT was the best way for him to go to succeed and not joining the main roster immediately. Sombra said that he is working hard not just in the ring but learning the English language thoroughly and becoming an all-around better performer but he did say that he missed his friends La Mascara & Rush and said that one day he hoped they would join him so the Ingobernales could reunite.

Speaking of Viva el Rey from earlier, Moose went on Twitter today and mentioned that his weekend trip got cancelled and Ricochet also went on Twitter saying that he is definitely not the Prince Puma that is listed on the shows.

Raul Garcia Salazar are better known as El Bello Greco died today at the age of 71 leaving behind a great career inside the ring and being a father of 3 sons who went on to become stars of their own in Lucha Libre (Super Calo, Alan y Chris Stone.) Salazar debuted as a 19-year-old kid working shows at Arena Monumental de Tlacotal in 1963 as El Greco and took a different path than just about anyone else did in Lucha history as he became one of the very first Exotico wrestlers which at that time meant that they had effeminate ways but not over the top like most today. The one thing about the early Exoticos were they had to be very tough men to put up with the crap they got not just from the fans but other wrestlers. Greco's first known hair loss came one day before his 20th birthday as Dr. Karonte (El Caristico's father) defeated him in Oaxaca but it was after this that he grew his hair out which added to his Exotico character. It was when the UWA was formed in the 70's that he formed his partnership with Adorable Rubi & Sergio el Hermoso called La Ola Lila and they became a dominant force among the growing trios community. Greco though still had some big singles matches in this era as he lost his hair to Huracan Ramirez on 7/29/75 at the Gimnasio Benito Juarez de Cuautitlan but on 2/27/77 alongside his partner Sergio el Hermoso they took the hair of Coloso Colosetti & Cesar Valentino at the UWA palace El Toreo de Cuatro Caminos de Naucalpan. The hot streak didn't last long though as on 6/26/77 at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Greco, Hermoso, & Babe Sharon all lost their hair to Estrella Blanca, El Gallo Tapado, & Mascara Roja. Greco & Hermoso won Tag Team of the Year in 1977 and stated 1978 strong by taking Babe Face & Scorpio's hair on 1/22/78 at Toreo de Cuatro Caminos. Maybe their biggest match as a team took place in 1979 as they were on the winning side of a Relevos Suicidas match against Dorrell Dixon & Tinieblas who ended up taking Dixon's hair.

The 1980's saw La Ola Lila take on new challenges from the influx of New Japan's young wrestlers and in 1982, Greco & Hermoso took the hair of Hiro Saito & George Takano and they would eventually go to New Japan themselves before they left the UWA in 1984 to go to AWWA. 2 years later, La Ola Lila broke up and it was in May 1987 when Greco beat Sergio el Hermoso in a hair match in Tijuana ending their rivalry. Greco bounced around for a while before joining the newly created AAA but took on the Karis la Momia character from 1992-93 before disappearing from Lucha Libre all together until his sons started to work on the independent scene and even returned to AAA in 2006 doing some angles with his sons. It's safe to say that today's Exoticos owe a ton to La Ola Lila especially El Bello Greco because without them there may not be such a character in the current Lucha Libre scene.
