The arbiter of all news transDominican, remolacha.net, recently published a rumor that the legendary Dominican wrestler Jack Veneno might be coming to fight in NYC.
Be still my heart! If this is true, I'd mortgage my entire collection of Love & Rockets and half my CDs to go see one of my childhood heroes, who has inexplicable remained, ahem, virile into late middle age.

Anyone who can dig up any info on this and pass it on will become my BFF.
Here's a melodramatic trailer for a Jack Veneno biopic, scheduled to be released in DR this Xmas:

we are Jack Veneno's business managers in the Dominican Republic. Jack was contacted by a promoter who wanted to bring Jack to NYC to "speak" at an engagement (not a wrestling show). The promoter never paid for Jack's appearance, not even a deposit, and never sent plane tickets or even told Jack it was a wrestling show. Jack never agreed to be a part of the "event". Jack is retired from the ring, but unfortunately unscrupulous people attempt hit and run jobs like this to sell tickets. Jack's family had received calls saying he was billed to appear. Who is this promoter? We have plently of legal representation in NY who might like to pursue this. In the meantime, check out www.luchalibrevive.com and view the trailer to Jack's new documentary movie. All people interested in working with Jack should contact us there as well. Jack loves his fans, and thanks you for your support throughout the years.
