El Boricua

It's taken around three years since it was announced but the movie about Puerto Rico wrestling looks to finally be releasing later this summer. Here's the teaser trailer for La Super Estrellas de la Lucha Lubre.

It's part of the lazy booking they do. Everything in service of going overlong just to hype that it's overlong.

We're almost to thd end of 1989 in our journey through Puerto Rico wrestling over at Segunda Caida. Hopefully you've been enjoying El Deporte de las Mil Emociones, and if you havent been folliwing along ots a good time to catch up since we're almost at 1990. For those reading, let us know if you have any questions about what we've covered so far. https://segundacaida.blogspot.com/search/label/El Deporte de las Mil Emociones

For anyone interested, over at Segunda Caida I've been working with Matt D on a weekly (or so) column taking a look at Puerto Rican wrestling starting around late summer of 1989. It's called El Deporte de las Mil Emociones. https://segundacaida.blogspot.com/search/label/El Deporte de las Mil Emociones

If any wrestler could be described as timeless it's Terry Funk. Could be put in any era, any place and just be the best. To me, the absolute greatest of all time.

It's Heyman, so it's self serving 'put my genius over' bs in terms of the 3rd inning wait til you see what happens next stuff.

It peaked a few months ago, late spring and summer should have been the ending coda.

For anyone that may be interested, the WWC Aniversario 50 show is this Saturday June 24 and will be available live on http://Fite.tv in both Spanish and English commentary. The event is dedicated to the founders and pillars of the company and to the Puerto Rican fans. Also, WWC was celebrated and honored by the Puerto Rico House of Representatives for the company's 50 year anniversary. A big congratulations to everyone at WWC, especially Victor Jovica and Carlos Colon.

Yeah, it was all up from the opener which was fine if underwhelming. Looking forward to tomorrow.

That was an underwhelming opener. Theory winning got a meh reaction from the crowd.

Yeah, Izzy herself said it was unplanned and Sasha apologized to her after the event ended, Sasha ended up giving Izzy flowers. Although as you mention, Izzy was tangentially involved in the narrative of Bayley's story and a known entity / not just randomly selected. In the case of MJF throwing the drink, the incident should be taken as a warning to be a bit more careful on doing things so off the cuff with people who aren't in on it. You never know when you will inadvertently end up picking on the wrong person to do that to. Just minimizes the possibility of things out of your control happening if these intentional things are done with people who are in on it.

The only thing I'll say about the throwing drink thing is that, after seeing the takes out there on how "that's just for heel heat / that's old school heat getting", I'm just wondering when in the history of pro wrestling has heel work involved intentionally getting into a physical altercation with a kid where it hadn't been cleared beforehand.

The one thing that's not grabbing me about the Sami and KO thing is that Owens has usually been a garbage friend to Sami, so I'm not really on his side in feeling aggrieved here. Owens was nowhere to be seen as a friend for Sami last year, which is why Sami latched on to the Bloodline. Now Owens shows up out of the blue as the fifth guy on the Wargames team and immediately starts with the "they'll turn on you because that's what I'd do stuff" because Sami's on the opposing team. There's a bit of an opportunistic manipulation undertone to Owens since his concern for Sami in the Bloodline only started when Owens had something to gain.

Actually, if Parek was there, it may be a case that she was already on her way to see Punk because of what happened at the scrum, she saw the mob heading that way and tried to control the situation , or she showed up when it became apparent a fracas was going down. Whatever the reason, if legal was on site and witnessed to some degree what went down, the fact that we're still not sure what will end up happening with Punk and that Steele is not fired makes me think that what was seen by Parek may actually bode more ill for the Elite squad than Punk's side (although everyone involved should and will face consequences for their part) when compared to how initial 'leaks' painted the picture of what happened.

I've seen some tweets from him about fake people where I think he's alluding to this indirectly.
