Mexico News - CMLL Gran Prix, Bobby Bonales Passes Away, AAA + Impact, More

-- CMLL will have one of it’s traditional noon press conference tomorrow. The invitation includes the Gran Prix logo, so that’ll be a focus. I think there’s a good chance most of the field is announced. I also believe they’ll be putting a date on Vangellys/Pierroth; Vangellys is also announced as speaking on CMLL Informa later that night. The dream announcement is simply a date for the Anniversary show.

Matt Taven said he’ll be in CMLL for a couple of weeks around the Gran Prix. It’s not clear if that’ll be the case for everyone coming in. That’s the way they handled it last time, but Elite was also splitting costs to some extent.

-- CMLL mentions Bobby Bonales passed away today in 1994, and mentions the Copa Bobby Bonales goes to a luchador with a great career. Shocker makes the most sense of the guys in the Universal tournament.

-- AAA held a press conference for the Ring and Rock Star show on September 23rd. There was not much news; this was something to promote the travel package and you’ll speed thru when it shows up on Noti AAA this week or next. They did announce Dr. Wagner & Psycho Clown will be doing workouts at the Riveria Maya resort from August 21 to August 24 to promote TripleMania and the trip. That’s two days before the show, when they’d normally be in Mexico City to hype the show. Maybe they’re that confident about tickets or getting the press to come out to the resort.

Wagner did make a reference to Psycho Clown destroying Ultimo Guerrero’s car, which is the first time that’s been acknowledged at all in AAA (and probably wasn’t meant to be.)

-- On today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said Drago & Hijo del Fantasma are expected to work the Impact TV tapings following this PPV. PPV might be a way around their contract limitations but those guys appearing on Impact would mean they’re just ignoring them after fighting for the months ago. It’d make sense for Drago & Fantamsa to build something up with the Impact guys coming for TripleMania to generate interest, but AAA’s already set up Fantasma in their title match and Drago seems to be set for a trios title match.
