  1. Has Sting had a match for AAA before? This could be big for them. Sting is actually someone I would like to see batteling Dr. Wagner or L.A. Park, one match that should have happened in WCW. ;)
    British Invasion is okay in North America, but why not give two AAA luchadors a tag title shot?
    Why does AAA always favor talent from USA? I don’t get it. They could be so much better, if they’d focus on their on talent.

  2. @Charly Manson Jr.: It would be nice if both CMLL and AAA favored their own talent, instead they prefer NJPW and TNA talent respectively. If this keeps up, people will start to notice that libre lucha is a farce and they might tune out. I just hope lucha extrema doesn’t take over.

  3. What is the common reaction of the Mexican lucha fans to the TNA guys? Is there even TNA tv airing down there?

  4. @kortej: They think the top guys (who they might have heard/read about before TNA) are a big deal and not so much the other guys.

    AAA did a really strong job making the people coming in for TripleMania seem like a big deal, but not so much for Verano.
