Dr. Wagner Jr. made his return to AAA at yesterday’s press conference for Triplemania XXI at Arena Ciudad in Mexico City and there was a lot of confusion going on as he just appeared saying that he was back and joining up with Villano IV & Mascara Ano Dos Mil for their trios match on the show against Electroshock, Octagon, & La Parka Jr. before starting to argue with Konnan. The next 10 minutes then saw Wagner turn tecnico as he challenged Konnan to a match before shaking hands with Joaquin Roldan along with Electroshock & La Parka Jr. who were supposed to be his opponents. It was later announced that Universo Dos Mil would be joining his brother & Villano IV against the AAA team which didn’t mention Wagner but he was in the headline picture on the AAA website. Tomorrow night’s taping in Toluca will tell a tale of what will happen here as Canek doesn’t have a match either.
Other notes from the press conference included Hugo Savinovich being introduced as El Mesias’ second for his match against Blue Demon Jr. for the vacant AAA Latin American Title and was being a subtle rudo here which could be foreshadowing. Demon told Mesias to put his “Thundercats sword” on the line with Mesias firing back that he should put up his Leyenda Azul trophy. There was talk about the death of Hector Garza with Perro Aguayo Jr. dedicating his hair match with Cibernetico to Garza’s memory and both men ended up agreeing that there would be no interference from anyone. Good luck with that.
Well over 300 people attended the funeral for Hector Garza on Monday night at Capillas del Carmen en la Sultana del Norte in Monterrey where family and friends talked about his life and how he affected them. Super Parka, Antifaz del Norte, Sky, Coco Viper, Mini Hator, Hator, Potro, La Bandida, Blue Fish, Charles Lucero, Diluvio Negro I, René Guajardo Jr, Hijo del Espanto, Salsero, Hijo del Ninja (who is Garza’s nephew) among others were there to pay their respects for “El Queburin.” Hator said that Garza was like a brother to him and that Garza told him that his biggest battle would be against his lung cancer and he wouldn’t lose until he knew it was time to. Hator said that Garza loved to talk about fashion and was just a great friend who was a joy to be around and loved Monterrey as much as anyone else he knew. Super Parka got up and said that it’s very hard to believe that Garza is dead and hard to be there but Hector was a great friend and wants him to be remembered that way. Salsero got up and said that he had a lot of great times with Garza and reminisced about how Konnan got him a job in WCW and that La Parka told him to go to the airport in Dallas but it was Garza who was with him and helped him not to get lost allowing him to get his chance to work in the United States. Salsero closed by saying that God needed Hector now and that now he can rest in peace.
