Event Notes: referee Eddie Palau has reached 40 years (wrestling and referee work combined) and is talking about retiring or at least taking a break for a while workng on other business. Box y Lucha often jokes about him but here talks about how he’ll be dearly missed, saying he’s as popular here as Pele is with Brazilian soccer fans.
