Wrestler of the WeekL Mistico
Our resident philosopher looks outside of the US “Big Two” to find this week’s best wrestler. Mistico took the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title in Japan, which is the top Juniors title in the world.

Almost always, I find my Wrestler of the Week choice in either TNA or WWE. This week, I went to the Land of the Rising Sun to find a Mexican Luchadore who took the most prestigious Junior Heavyweight title in the industry, today. The masked Mistico is this week’s Wrestler of the Week.

Mexico’s Next Generation Super-star

The man known as Mistico is the son of wrestler Dr. Karontes. Mistico’s brothers include: Astro Boy, Astro Boy II and Argenis. Mistico was able to get his start in the business, thanks to his uncle, Tony Salazar. When Mistico began his career, Salazar worked as the matchmaker for Mexico’s CMLL promotion. Mistico’s surname is Almanza but his first name is not readily available. Mistico was trained, primarily, by his father. When Mistico debuted in CMLL, in 1998, he was only 13 years old. His first persona was “Dr. Karontes, Jr.” (a tribute to his father). He would use that character for a full two years, until tragedy brought about a change.

My Hard Justice 2009 Predictions
Our resident philosopher tries his best to sort out all the chaos that is Hard Justice.

This is the Pre-PPV for Bound For Glory. In many ways, it will simply start the snowball rolling down the hill. I don’t expect a lot of surprises, with one possible exception. Despite the fact that this PPV is going to be rather boring, I’ll do my best to figure out the directions that Vince Russo is planning to go with this one. (Vince is about the only writer left on staff, these days).
