Word on the street that Lucha Libre USA will make it’s return to California as part of a 2013 Regional Tour.
A marketing article on Dr. Pepper’s Hispanic advertising talks about them sponsoring the 2012 Lucha Libre USA tour, and mentions Dr. Pepper Ten will sponsor the 2013 tour. That means they’ll have a tour! (I believe this has been mentioned before, but sponsor money means they can actually pull this off.) Locations announced: San Jose, Las Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Laredo, San Antonio, Phoenix, Chicago, Las Vegas and either Detroit or Grand Rapids. No dates announced. I will be supporting Pequeno Halloween at the Chicago show.
Masked Warriors’ premier event was at the Aqua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, on June 6th 2010. With the majority of their events taking place in the Southwest; Arizona and New Mexico, Masked Warriors did return to California April 13th 2012 at an event originally scheduled for the Pyramid in Long Beach, later the Pico Rivera Sports arena, however due to inclement weather ended up holding their event at the very intimate El Pappy’s.
The show that originally aired on MTV2 has become exclusive of Hulu. Masked Warriors has used a few SoCal Regulars from time to time. Sydistiko (first as TJ Perkins later as Paul London), Rocky Romero, Lizzy Valentine, and Blue Demon Jr. have all became regulars for Masked Warriors..
