AAA
Lucha Libre World Cup Teams
AAA announced the rest of the teams for the upcoming Lucha World Cup. After originally not being announced as having a team Lucha Underground will have representatives on two teams. TNA is sending Drew Galloway to be a part of Team Rest of the World with AAA’s Angelico (South Africa) and El Mesais (Puerto Rico) while Matt Hardy and Mr. Anderson will be on a team with Lucha Underground’s Johnny Mundo. Lucha Underground’s Brian Cage will also join ROH’s Moose and ACH on a team. Psycho Clown, Texano Jr., and Hijo del Fantasma each won 3-ways at recent AAA tapings to earn their spot on the second Team AAA. Solar I joins Dr. Wagner Jr. and Blue Demon Jr. on the Mexican Legends team. Kenzo Suzuki, youngster Masamune, and Koji Kanemoto once again donning the Tiger Mask gimmick will be Team AJPW while Taiji Ishimori, Yoshihiro Takayama, & Atsushi Kotoge represent Pro Wrestling NOAH. AAA also announced the tournament will be a single elimination tournament and each match will have a 15 minute time limit. If there is a draw in the match there will be a 5-minute overtime period with each team choosing one member to have a singles match. The show will be held on iPPV in both English and Spanish, but no website or price was announced. Lucha Underground’s Vampiro and Matt Striker will handle English commentary. Dorian Roldan said taht CMLL was invited to take part in the tournament but they turned them down. They will announce the first round matches on 05/22 just days before the event. They want to make it an annual tournament.

AAA/Lucha Underground Stars Going to CHIKARA
This week CHIKARA announced that Fenix, Aerostar, & Drago will be coming in as a team for the annual King of Trios Tournament in September. You can imagine they could very well be part of the Rey de Voladores Tournament during that weekend.
AAA Sending Talent to TNA
TNA’s Bob Ryder revealed that a luchador from AAA would be competing at TNA’s upcoming TV tapings and likely at the June “Slammiversary” PPV. This is part of a talent exchange that is also seeing TNA send talent for AAA’s Lucha World Cup. The luchador ended up being Argos, who is the younger brother of Myzteziz. He worked an elimination match that also featured Tigre Uno and Manik in it. It is unclear if Argos will stick around with TNA going forward or not, but he has not worked a AAA event since last summer. He has mostly been working Indy shows that his brothers appear on even teaming with Myzteziz on multiple occasions.

CMLL
CMLL Loses Main TV Show
For the past couple of weeks CMLL’s main Friday night show on Fox Sports 2 has been off the air and is not on the schedule for coming weeks. CMLL has made no comment about the situation as is CMLL style, but this would be a big blow to CMLL’s TV product. They still have several hours of TV in both Mexico and America but Fox Sports 2 was their biggest show for the major matches at Arena Mexico on Friday nights.
