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

From Meltzer:

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.

Raven looks like old Kevin Nash mated with old Brett Favre

What a terrible outfit.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

That outfit is Vintage Sting.

 

[JayDizzle]

Must have hired Papa Shango to rez Freddie Mercury for the night. :facepalm:

You want to know what a real-life "The Wrestler" looks like, you look at Steve "Sting" Borden.

The man will die in the ring, just like Angle, just like Flair, just like Hogan.

And before anyone comes up with a "oh, he's retired" or "he's to injured to go" comment... if the check on the table is for the right amount, they'll go out into the ring and "perform."

If it were not a temporary job...or even part-time....this would seem like a sweet gig:

WWE Corporate - Title

Plus, too bad it's in Stamford Then again, just thinking about the chance to check out their tape library is aweeee......some.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

What exactly is going on here?

Most of that library is probably burned (all the Benoit stuff that isn't feature PPV like Wrestlemania XX) or buried (ignored history from other feds or Uncle Vince's shit itself)... :shifty:

If my typing rate wasn't so shit, I'd consider the position.

And Kowalski trained HHH. Did you really think he'd be left off?

No.
I thought he should have been much higher.

The library consists of WWE, WWF, WWWF, Capitol Wrestling, WCW, NWA, ECW, MACW, GCW, WCCW, Stampede, AWA, OVW, FCW and MOAR

Sounds better than it'd really be.

Logging tape is pretty awful. It's like game testing. Sounds sweet, it's really not.
