AAA and CMLL are doing less business thanks to WWE, so AAA has publicly invited CMLL to work together.

Earlier this morning, Dorian Roldan of AAA tweeted that it's time for the Mexican wrestling companies to work together and create synergy and invited the competition (CMLL) to work with him, saying the ball is now in their court.
Both AAA and CMLL have had significant business drops that are partially due to the economy and safety issues. But they probably have as much if not more to do with the growing popularity of WWE, usurping interest in the local companies, the same pattern that happened in the U.S. in the 80s and in Europe in the 90s. With television ratings falling greatly for both groups, working together doesn't sound so bad to spark interest, although long-term, they are two completely different companies and it's almost impossible to believe it could last for any length of time.
Just as noteworthy as AAA making this request, is doing so in a public forum as opposed to the usual behind the scenes secrecy that the business operates in. And if the deal has been cooked up already, revealing it in a public forum before shooting the initial angle.

Then again, just thinking about the chance to check out their tape library is aweeee......some.
