Kula Shaker
Kula Shaker's reformation has its origins in sessions for a charity album made with the New Braj Village School (a private school in Badger, California, for young people which includes as part of the curriculum teachings about Krishna and devotional music). The album "School of Braja" was recorded in 2004 and finally saw release in late 2006. Crispian Mills, who masterminded the album, arranged not only that the Jeevas play on two tracks, but he also got in touch with his old bandmate, Alonza Bevan. The two worked on a song together for the album, "Braj Mandala", to which Paul Winterhart added drums. Jay Darlington was asked to be part of the sessions, but declined the opportunity. At the time of the recording, this was announced on the official Jeevas website as Kula Shaker having reformed to contribute a song to the album and was referred to by Mills as a Kula Shaker reunion in subsequent interviews. Additionally, the "School of Braja" album credits officially state that Kula Shaker appear on the track "Braj Mandala". The sessions for the track went so well that Mills and Bevan began writing together again and making plans for a full-on Kula Shaker comeback that would encompass live touring and the further release of new material. A new band website was also commissioned.
Tiger (wrestler)
In February, 2010 both Tiger Kid and Puma King became involved in El Felino's ongoing feud against La Sombra. It all began on February 2, 2010 where Puma King dressed up like his uncle El Felino to distract La Sombra during a match. A later doubleganger act backfired though and saw El Felino lose to La Sombra, which saw the end of the Tiger Kid/Puma King aid in the storyline. On April 23, 2010, Puma King participated in the 2010 "Gran Alternativa", this time teaming with his uncle El Felino. The team lost to eventual Block A winners Delta and Volador, Jr. in the first round. Tiger Kid was one of 12 men who put their mask on the line as part of a 12-man steel cage match in the main event of the 2010 "Infierno en el Ring". During the match he pulled his own brother down off the cage, sacrificing him in order for Tiger Kid to escape the cage and keep his mask safe. In the end Ángel de Oro defeated Fabián el Gitano in the "Lucha de Apueta" (bet match) portion of the match to unmask him. In June 2011, Tiger Kid's ring name was shortened to just "Tiger". On November 30, Tiger was introduced as the new third member of Rey Bucanero's and El Terrible's "rudo" stable "", replacing El Texano, Jr., who had left CMLL a week earlier. In March 2013 Tiger was forced to team up with Delta to compete in the 2013 "Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles" ("National Incredible Pairs Tournament") where the concept was that rivals, or at least wrestlers on opposite sides of the rudo/tecnico divide would team up for a tag team tournament. Tiger and Delta had no previous rivalry and in fact wore matching colored outfits for the tournament as a sign of team unity. Despite their unity the team was eliminated by the team of Blue Panther and Rey Escorpión in the first round of the tournament. On August 11, Terrible and Bucanero kicked Tiger out of "La Fuerza TRT" and gave his spot over to Vangelis.
