CMLL Honoring Rayo de Jalisco
This week CMLL announced that the legend they would be honoring this year at Dos Leyendas (along with CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth) would be Rayo de Jalisco. Jalisco wrestled from 1950 until his retirement in 1989 feuding and teaming with some of the best luchadors ever including El Santo, Huracan Ramirez, & the original Blue Demon. He spent most of his career in CMLL and held the Mexican National Tag Team Titles twice with longtime partner El Santo as well as the Occidente & NWA Welterweight Championships. In the 60’s he formed a tag team with the Blue Demon and became known as one of the best technical wrestlers in Mexico. Near the end of his career in the late 80’s Jalisco goaded his former partner and rival (who was now retired) Blue Demon back into the ring for one more match, a Mask vs. Mask Match. That night Jalisco lost his match and shortly thereafter retired. His son, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., is a top independent star now and was a star for CMLL much like his father before a falling out with CMLL. His grandson is former CMLL & AAA (and current INDY) star Rayman.

AAA
Dr. Wagner Jr./AAA
For the 2nd time in the last several months Dr. Wagner Jr. has said publicly that he is done with AAA. After a show this past weekend in Mexico Wagner told Lucha website La WagnerMania that he was completely done with AAA except for “some minor legal issues.” He also claimed that he would be headed to CMLL soon. CMLL says they don’t want him and Dorain Roldan tweeted that Wagner is under contract with AAA until 2014, but they wouldn’t use him again until he acknowledges that fact.
