The Return of NWA Mexico... in London?

MAÑANA PARTE LA GIRA PARA LONDRES CON LA NWA MEXICO LES MANTENDRE INFORMADO

--Blue Demon Jr.'s Twitter

The rough translation of Blue Demon Jr's tweet is "PARTY TOMORROW FOR LONDON TOUR WITH MEXICO NWA will keep you informed." Apparently LuchaFuture has booked the entire NWA Mexico group for a series of events in the UK. June 24th through the 26th at the Roundhouse in London, the 28th at Sage in Gateshead, and finally July 1st and 2nd at the Dome in Brighton. Expected luchadors are the former reigning NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Blue Demon Jr., Cassandro, Mango, NWA Mexican Lightweight Champion Skayde, Hantar, Arez,     NWA Mexican Welterweight Championship Turbo, Hanaoka, Black Thunder, Super Nova, Eragon, Ikaro, Kronos, Mr. Katana, and Dr. Cerebro.

This isn't the first time Blue Demon Jr. has been to the United Kingdom representing the NWA.  His previous tenure as NWA Worlds Champion saw him defend the title December 9th 2008 against Solar.  El Hijo de la Leyenda Azul is currently the reigning NWA Pro/Pro Wrestling Revolution Heavyweight Champion.  No word yet if he'll be defending the Revolution Heavyweight Title while in London.  That title has been defended in Mexico and Portugal previously.

Loser Leaves Town Podcast: TJ Perkins and Casandro

Bix of CagedSideSeats.com, recently sat down with two of Lucha Va Voom's regulars, El Bombero and Casandro. for the Loser Leaves Town Podcast.

...T.J. Perkins (AKA Pinoy Boy/Puma/Cobra II, currently El Bombero in Lucha Va Voom) to discuss his travels around the world as a 25 year-old who's a 10 year veteran. Lots of great stuff about going to New Japan and the LA Dojo including wrestling in the Tokyo Dome, the MMA training that led to him actually having fights, becoming Cobra II while being tempted with promises of maybe eventually being Tiger Mask V, and much more.

After that is Cassandro, the top exotico in wrestling today. A 21 year veteran, he talks about his pre-wrestling career as a medical assistant, being trained by Rey Misterio Sr. in the class that included the original Psicosis/Nicho and a very young Rey Mysterio (Jr.), wrestling in Juarez and El Paso, being a gay man in the wrestling business in Mexico, how Antonio Peña helped him and others, his current travels around the world (including wrestling El Hijo del Santo at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France!), and more.

All in all, a very fun hour of interviews.

Really interesting read. Give it a listen, you won't regret it. And here's a match featuring Perkins wrestling Casandro as Cobra II.
