SL 294 (1996-11-07)

Additional Notes

• Canek has signed a 1 year exclusive contract with AAA, it's said to be the first ever contract he has signed in his career as he'd forever been a lifetime independent wrestler
• Vampiro has signed an exclusive contract with Promo Azteca
• Juventud Guerrera has officially left AAA for Promo Azteca against the wishes of his father, Jesus Zuniga's column indicates Juvy also said some things in anger he wil come to regret some day & this was a silly choice made by an immature child
• AAA/Antonio Pena had their own press conference on 10/28 Yuppie's Sports Cafe
• Pena said he was very disappointed to read comments from certain wrestlers who he took a chance on & supported for all these years badmouthing him & the company they represented
• claims many of the people who left had valid contracts that he will go to court to enforce if he has to
• Perro Aguayo spoke & said it's very disappointing to see people siding with "the non-Mexican" (Konnan), Mexico took him in when he couldn't make a living anywhere else & all he's done is disrespect the country by taking talent out of it & portraying it as a lesser form of wrestling
• Fuerza Guerrera spoke & kept is simply to business topics, he left PROMELL b/c he was not in agreement with who they planned to run the business going forward
• JCR says competition is always a key part of lucha libre but in the past 10 days we've seen low blows where instead of competing on a business level everyone is making it too personal, airing your "dirty laundry" in public doesn't help any lucha libre in any way
• another warning about saying things in front of cameras that you may have to answer for some day in court (this seems like a direct message to either Konnan in talking about Pena sleeping with the minis or Mascara Sagrada who said Pena was having a sexual relationship with Principe Zafiro which is why he got the Mascara Sagrada Jr. gimmick)
• claims some people who recently left & spoke poorly about AAA/Antonio Pena have now contacted Jesus Nunez as a go-between to let Pena know they are sorry & want to keep the line of communication open for a return
• there have been lots of accusations against the lucha libre commission that at some point they'll need to answer publicly for
• says it cheapens lucha libre when Bestia Salvaje can cut off some of Negro Casas' hair as "part of the show" when he just lost a hair match to him, why would people pay for hair matches when they see stuff like that, he wants the commission to do something about it (I think Bestia Salvaje does get suspended for this)
• makes a cryptic comment about young wrestlers making bad decisions that they can eventually be forgiven for, but be careful when your bad decision is so extreme you need to apologize to the man upstairs (this appears to be Juventud Guerrera related)
• Espectro De Ultratumba returned to AAA on 10/25 after a many year absence (?) & will be on the full-time roster (he never appears again under this name)
• buries Pedro Ortega making himself a commentator for the PROMELL/Promo Azteca TV show, "it's one thing to know the names of the moves, it's another thing to actually know what you're talking about"
