NEWS
Mr. Niebla stated yesterday that 2012 will be his year and that he would reclaim the CMLL Heavyweight Title which he feels is rightfully his. Niebla said that he is the best rudo in CMLL and that he is ready to get back on the singles scene by winning the belt then taking out Marco Corleone who he feels is too limited to be on top.
Volador Jr. has found himself in some hot water lately with CMLL management over using different comic book characters as inspiration for outfits as they want him to stick to his basic natural look. This is funny as they have encouraged Mr. Niebla recently to adapt comic book characters in his attire with Zacarias. Volador was taken off of Friday night bookings at Arena Mexico as his punishment and felt like it was unfair because the fans knew who he was and embraced his various looks.
Zayco suffered a detached retina in his right eye a couple of months ago and just recently had an operation to fix the problem and he will be out of action for at least 3 months.
