August 23, 2006 Observer Newsletter: WWE Mexico tour, Diva Search

The all-time attendance record for Mexico, set by Antonio Pena's AAA promotion on April 30, 1993, for the original TripleMania, headlined by Konnan vs. Cien Caras in a loser must retire match and co-headlined by Perro Aguayo vs. Mascara Ano 2000 in a hair vs. mask match, is safe for the time being as WWE is downsizing its September tour.

Marco Andere, the head of Showtime Mexico, and WWE promoter in the country, has moved his 9/20 show from the Plaza de Toros in Mexico City, the site where the original TripleMania drew a turnaway crowd of 48,000 fans (although now commonly called 62,000 in history), to the 20,000-seat El Palacio de los Deportes after the card was released and the company did nothing special for the show. The line-up will be the usual house show line-up Raw is doing, with John Cena vs. Edge in a street fight, HHH & Shawn Michaels & Ric Flair vs. Spirit Squad, Randy Orton vs. Kane, Johnny Nitro vs. Carlito for the IC title, Highlanders vs. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch, Mickie James vs. Torrie Wilson for the women's title, Harry Smith vs. Umaga and Val Venis vs. Oleg (the former Oleg Prudius).
