the official WWE story is that AAA will not change at all, they love lucha libre as it is, and they’re simply going to give it a bigger platform. It was hard to believe WWE’s sincerity in that story, but it was the right thing to say to avoid raising concern among the fanbase. Latin and Konnan are not used to having to stick with AAA’s message. The AAA structure gave them a lot of freedom to say whatever they wanted on their platforms, and WWE does not allow that freedom. Konnan’s YouTube video was made private a few hours later, suggesting he had learned a lesson about the new world we’re all living in.
Yeah, what a load of bullshit.
I give it six months before they start aggressively going after CMLL. The entire point of this purchase was for a monopoly.
@generalemergency@lemmy.world we’ll see. Wrestling is a lot different world now than it was in 1980s. I fell like in the 80s they destroyed the North American NWA territory system, and now they are trying to establish a global WWE Territory system. Only time will tell.
a) wwe isn’t going to spend money to move production to mexico
b) getting visas to run aaa in the us is going to be a nightmare given the big orange derp
@cupcakezealot the NXT Mexico thing is more like it is an additional developmental territory, like NXT UK used to be.
@cupcakezealot the article makes no mention of either of those.
