Shining Road notes mysterious new AJPW wrestler Yamada has been selling Hijo de Pierroth merchandise at the shows, which would seem to indicate that it’s him under the mask (who else would want it?) But, we’ve got Hijo de Pierroth working the 05/15 Coliseo show at the same time as that tour. Maybe it’s Pierroth Jr.?

So IWRG will now be on TVC with AULL I guess. Unless PCTV is contracting to tape for ESPN like they did years ago. Either way, it’s more CMLL guys getting more TV time. I don’t know why AAA can’t get something like this in addition to Canal 9.
Doesn’t Televisa hold the exclusive rights? I think AAA might want more TV, but is unable to get it.
AAA has their guys in Multimedios, so I don’t think Televisa holds any exclusive rights, even if they do, PCTV and other cable outlets air lots of Televisa produced shows, so a deal could be made.
AULL isn’t on any more. This new show took their place. My buddy Gigolo was saying this time slot would be for XLAW so not sure if it’ll be half/half or if Gigolo was just being himself.
Oh, and it’s Hijo De Pierroth aka Salsero. There’s no mistaking the moves, not to mention the skin color.
Televisa holds exclusive rights to the name AAA but PAP can still do non-Televisa projects, as long as it’s not with TV Azteca. AAA actually had the timeslot on 52MX back in 2004 and did a PPV for the US market. And like Chui says, they are on regional Multimedios in Northern Mexico and Texas.
