Is luchalibreaaa.com a new website for the company? Why do sites start with countdowns, anyway? Just put up the site if you have the site. Anyway, the domain is actually owned by Media Contacts, so it looks like AAA is outsourcing the web operation. This should mean something vastly better, but we’ll see in a week.
AAA President Joaquin Roldan was on TVC’s 3a Caida. A couple posts mention comments
– Roldan complains about CMLL’s ethics. Sounds like CMLL was offering higher pay to AAA wrestlers who were still under AAA contact. Psicosis and Histeria are specifically mentioned. (Niebla’s previously been said that he wasn’t under contract.)
I guess the idea is CMLL’s offers has caused discontent in the AAA locker room, because it’s not really as though many AAA wrestlers have actually yet jumped to CMLL. Lots of people have been RUMORED to go to CMLL, but most of the people who’ve been confirmed as leaving AAA have gone to the indies (the women, Super Calo, apparently Intocable, etc.) Zumbido and Scorpio may end up in CMLL, but it’s been said so far that they went to CMLL looking for work, as have many others, and it hasn’t been CMLL going to these people. Maybe CMLL decided they really must have the Vipers and went after them differently than everyone else.
– Roldan also said Abismo Negro will be back next week (the Salamanca taping?) They’re saying Abismo had a neck injury (also what they said back at the TripleMania press conference) and family issues. No one is totally convinced it’ll be the same guy under the mask.
CMLL.com’s news section mentions the TNA guys coming on July 25. Same list as before (though they go 3 for 6 on correct spellings.) It’s confirmed the TNA crew will be on the same show as the Leyenda de Plata final, with Mistico facing the winner of Perro Jr. vs the winner of the second cibernetico.
(Notimex) Dr. Wagner Jr. wants it know that even though he’s ethically required to team with Hector Garza and Mistico, he totally hates them.. He’d like a mask match with Mistico or Mr. Niebla.
LuchandoLibre has Lucha Libre London video on their website.
A lucha libre character will be featured in a new Mastercard ad.
Ovaciones has a run down of today’s card (Diamante Negro in the semifinal), Friday’s card (Atlantis) and the IWRG action. Nothing new.
Edit: Arturo Rivera‘s column is up on their website, though not the newspaper.
Countdown is stupid. Leaves them open to criticism if the site is not running the minute the countdown ends.
You have to admit, the opening looks pretty good compare to what we used too.
“(Notimex) Dr. Wagner Jr. wants it know that even though he’s ethically required to team with Hector Garza and Mistico, he totally hates them..”
As if we didn’t know that by now or already…
“He’d like a mask match with Mistico or Mr. Niebla.”
I thought that’s what they were building to (Niebla/Wagner)?
AAA’s old site has the Salamanca lineup for this weekend. Some weird names listed and a scary name in the opener.
I find it funny that Roldan speaks of CMLL so poorly. He should remember how Antonio Pena and Konnan picked up and walked out of CMLL, then raided the CMLL roster in a much worse fashion. I don’t even think CMLL needs these guys. They have a very full and complete roster as is right now. I think there could just possibly be alot of negativity backstage in AAA and guys just want out. CMLL is simply taking them in because they are coming from the competition.
