AAA survival or demise

Well it was announced that one of the major homports of AAA arena coliseo de monterrey had severed all ties with AAA. Arena Coliseo de Monterrey is actually owned by the City itself, it then assigns who will be in charge of it. In this situation Multimedios is in charge. Multimedios took over several years ago and dismissed Lila Cavazos from her position as wresting promoter. She was replaced by Lic Carlos Elizondo. Who was unable to maintain the fanbase of the Arena. A couple of years ago, Adolfo Tapia better known as La Parka (there is only one) was promoting shows on Fridays nights at the Domo Care at the Fairgrounds in Monterrey. Tono Pena came in and actually was able to convince the city that he could do a better job and took over the Domo. This only lasted a couple of shows. Pena then came to an agreement that he would take over Sunday slot at the Coliseo from Elizondo. Elizondo promoted only on Tuesdays, mostly with local talents. Sundays shows were primaryly run by AAA, I do not kow whether or not Pena was involved but it was mostly AAA. This would be part of the Northern Mexico sequence. Sunday in Monterrey, Monday in Nuevo Laredo, Tuesday in Reynosa. So know with Elizondo taking back Sunday nights, it bring about an interesting situation as what will happen with the northern circuit. The main AAA promoter in the Tamaulipas area Arturo Serna better known as The Panther (pictured on left), had established a workign agreement with CMLL several years ago. A couple of weeks ago he leasesd the Arena Coliseo de Reynosa, Tamaulipas and will be running CMLL talent on Sunday matinees. His AAA shows on Tuesdays at Arena JuBa have been mostly with Hator, Antifaz, Corazon de Barrio, Estrella Dorada and Pimpinela. He would maybe run with AAA main eventers once a month. Makes you think if Serna was aware of Tono Pena's condition and was covering all his basis.

Random Rants

Much has been said about work rate. A lot of smart fans dump on a lot of workers, they call them lazy, because they seem to take it easy in their match. Some example of individuals that have been labeled as lazy are Brazo de Plata, Los Hermanos Dinamitas, Pierroth, Rayo De Jalisco, just to name a few. I would actually call them smart. Smart because they give the people what they want, they are performers. They do what they do and they get over. Look at how over Brazo de Plata has always been since the inception of his "Super Porky" image. The Dinamitas are forever drawing heat as is Pierroth. That means that they are doing their job, as long as they do their job and the people either cheer for them or scream for somebody to kick their ass, they will be collecting a payday. In other words, chill with your criticism and enjoy the show.

Lic. Antonio Pena Hereida, passed away a couple of days ago. The official cause of death has been ruled a heart attack. I have been reading several news boards and sites, people are falling all over themselves to say how much of genius he was and how great he was. People seem to forget that Pena would try to get over by saying that he had created all these different characters. I would tend to agree that he might have come up with names and maybe even designed outfits, but to me the person in the role is the one who makes or breaks a character. Perfect example the case of La Parka the original made it a common household name by his work ethic and his antics. La ParkAAA, did the same thing he was placed in a situation where he could elevate his earning potential and he ran with it. Look as the case of Mascara Sagrada, the original was a decent workers, the second one was a bust but the third one made the character come alive. Well all in all my condolences to the family.
