Alright, I've been TRYING to figure out who is on what side of what, but I don't know Spanish, I'm old and my head hurts.
I thought Shocker was a good guy. whaa happened there???
CubsFan, I've been enjoying your recaps, but is there any way you could do a "catch-up" column to get some of us up to speed on rudos, technicos and feuds?
George Washington gave his signature The Government gave its hand They said for now and ever more that this was Indian Land
"As long as the moon shall rise" "As long as the rivers flow" "As long as the sun will shine" "As long as the grass shall grow"
A lot of times, since there are shades of gray in Lucha, it depends on who you are feuding with.
A rudo can be turned tecnico, at least for a night, if he is fighting a more hated rudo. This is probably best exemplified by "Mexico vs. [country x], where even the Los Guapos or Cien Caras/M2k/U2K would be tecnicos against Los Boricuas or the New Japan guys and Black Tiger.
You're all so WONDERFUL. Why did they ever have to remove you from the continuity? You'd have made for MARVELOUS stories. You WILL make marvelous stories. And the FIRST story of the new world will be a story of REVENGE! -- The Psycho Pirate, Animal Man 23, May 1990.
Quick version - maybe I'll do some more detail later. And in no particular order, just the main guys I can think of and notice on recent shows.
Tecnicos - Santo - Negro Casas - Vampiro - Lizmark Jr. - Rayo Jalisco Jr. - Silva - Mr. Niebla - Blue Demon - Atlantis - Olimpico - Safari - Tinieblas (Jr. and Sr.) - Black Warrior - Felino - the Brazos (Porky, Oro, Platino) - the Villanos (except when they're facing the Brazos) - Volador Jr. - Ricky Marvin - Tony Rivera - Hombre Sin Nombre (ex-El Hijo de Rayo Jalisco Jr.) - Antifaz (injuried) - La Fiera (injuried)
Rudos - Guerrero Del Infenrals (Tarzan Boy, Ulitmo Guerrero, Rey Buccanero) apparently changing their name to just "Los Guerreros" soon, according to the website - also semi-fueding with other rudos) - Family de Tijuana (Nicho, Damien 666, Halloween, Lady Victoria) - Juventued Guerrera - Los Boriucas (all 11 of 'em? - Pierroth, Veneno, Violencia, Nitro, Mini Pierroth, Mini Violencia, Bulldog, Killer, Fuerza Boricua, Rico Suave, Commando Girl [el Subcommandate], Pierroth Jr. (injuried?), Mastin (gone?)) - Mr. Mexico, Poder Mexica, Gran Markus Jr. (though they act like tecnicos if they're facing the Boricuas, and that's all they seem to fight) - Los Capos (Cien Caras, Apolo Dantes, Mascara Ano 2000, Universo 2000 - act like tecnicos against the Boricuas) - Team [New] Japan (Black Tiger, Nosawa, Masada, Takemura, anyone else who shows up who's Japanesse and possibly not Jushin Lyger - everyone becomes a tecnico if they fight them, maybe even the Boricuas) - Dr. Wagner - Blue Panther - Fuerza Guerrera - Los Guapos/Tailbanes (Emilio, Bestia, Scorpio) - Dr. X, Zumbido, Virus, Hooligan, Arkangel and other guys who only show up in Spectacular Moments.
Professionals (tecnicos against rudos, rudos against tecnicos - depends more on who they're fueding with) - Los Nuevo Guapos (Mascara Magica, Shocker, ???) - Los Infernals (Satanico, Averno, Mephisto)

I like how crz puts bio information next to the wrestlers name, as well as the ref for the match. WWF would have more of a sport feeling if they did that.
