Intocable out of AAA

It doesn’t pay to be a Mexican midcarder with tenure in AAA right now. The Gladiatores reports Intocable is the next to leave the promotion and will be an independent in August. Probably should’ve seen this coming with they hyped a big deal to find new backup dancers for him, and then it was cut to one short clip and never mentioned again. Or maybe Intocable being left off TripleMania and Alan Stone seemingly taking over his role.

Intocable’s a different animal than Calo or Scorpio or some of the others – he’s certainly not the worker, but he does have some drawing ability. (If NWA Mexico was not a fictional promotion, they would be rushing to the phone to get Intocable signed – the hair match programs you could do with him would be a big help for a startup, and it’s not another guy who seems past his prime.)

We can be pretty sure Intocable wouldn’t be leaving AAA if Antonio Pena was still alive. Other people are in charge now, and they seem more interested in letting the roster wither away to a smaller size for TV purposes. You don’t need a lot of people if you’re just running six matches a week with generally the same people.

That’s the other thing, though – AAA’s not really a TV promotion. They run spot shows all over the country in between TV tapings, and even against tapings – Elegido, Alebrije, and Gronda versus the Psycho Circus was main eventing another show the same night as TripleMania. AAA’s not a public company, so everything’s just a guess, but I’m figuring those booking fees are a nice revenue stream for the company. There comes a point where you’ve dropped enough talent that you can’t staff as many shows anymore. (The foreign guys are going to be in and out and not fill all those dates. Intocable was especially valuable, because he could be sold as a main eventer while guys like CIbernetico and Parka had reduced value.)

Either other guys are going be working a lot more or AAA’s shifting how it does business. They haven’t lost/dropped enough guys where everything has to change, but it seems part of the slight change of direction in the last year.

  1. CMLL has more foreigners since from the 15 or so ring girls they have, only 3 or 4 are Mexicans… and the girls are featured more than 96% of the workers.

  2. Well, it seems that the post @ elmartinete was at least partially right, Scorpio Jr said in an interview on Estadio W that Decniz had backed out from joining IWRG. It seems that Scorpio signed with IWRG and was there introducing Decniz and Guapito to Mr Moreno, Guapito got carried away and joined the run in on Anibal, but Decniz had still not agreed to join IWRG neither Guapito, my guess is that after the pics were taken and Guapito got into the screen, Moreno knew he had them in his palm and changed the deal, so the guys thought it over and Decniz will continue in AAA and Guapito is said to be asking for forgiveness…

    No one has an idea of Zumbido’s whereabouts…
