Aro Lucha, the new promotion from former Impact Wrestling minority owner and
production company Aroluxe, will hold a pilot TV taping this Sunday 12/10 at
5:30 PM Central time in Nashville, TN at the Nashville Fairgrounds (aka the
former TNA Asylum) with former WWE World champion Rey Mysterio headlining an
event featuring a mix of former WWE and lucha libre talents. Tickets for the
taping begin at $21.83 for general admission.
As previously reported by many wrestling news sources, Aroluxe had been funding Impact tapings in exchange for a percentage of ownership in the company and as many news sources reported in 2016, the company was in a position to claim ownership over Impact had Dixie Carter not maintained regular payments reimbursing Aroluxe. As it turned out, Anthem Media would come in as an investor and eventually purchase Impact from Carter's company Impact Ventures LLC. That left Aroluxe out in the cold as they were not retained as Impact's production company.
Scheduled for the taping:
*Rey Mysterio & Pentagon vs Rush & John Hennigan.
*Jack Evans & Shane Helms & Maximo vs. Garza Jr & La Mascara & Daga
*MVP vs. Sammy Guevara
*Keyra & Lacey Lane vs. Vanilla Vargas & Taya
*Demus vs. Mascarita Dorada
*William McClinton (aka Willie Mack) vs. Mr. 450
Konnan has been announced as the lead writer for the project, which will be headed by Jason Brown and Ron and Don Harris of Aroluxe. Bob Rosen, who heads Impact's ring crew, is working in a similar role for Aroluxe with these tapings.
The Twitter account for Aro Lucha promises, "High-energy Lucha Libre for the entire Authentic family. Authentic stars, characters & stories. Live events & digital content. Lucha for the fans by the fans."
