Rey Mysterio is the PR ambassador for AAA and Paramount Pictures in Mexico so he does all the commercials and promotion for their big releases. He had a terminator entrance like triple h earlier this year for Genisys so expect something like that again

I can't think of anything iconic like that about Mission Impossible without Rey doing an Owen Hart, and that stunt's from three movies ago.

How could i have forgotten the famous golden kinda Roman bird thing from Mission Impossible

e: I bet sin Cara could've gotten over Stateside if he'd used this 'an inside-out wrestler' gimmick

If you're unfamiliar with him, he's like Guillermo del Toro's manic, sleazy younger brother.

Oh I know his stuff very well, I am so hyped for this. Loved Witching and Bitching and My Big Night.

Speaking of Del Toro, the lucha vampire hunter movie (Silva) he's been wanting to be made for years might actually happen now.

Tapings start this weekend. So be alert and/or kind when it comes to spoilers both here and social media. Also just stop listening to Wrestling Observer Radio as Meltzer will blurt out spoilers at random times.

This is a good tip. I've never been so irrationally angry at a wrestling thing as I was with Dave spoiling Ultima Lucha on some random show/newsletter. I might kill my sub until the Rumble to avoid that again.

Konnan was on the MLW podcast trying to claim that ADR was doing close to a $1million during his year out of WWE. If dude was making that kind of coin, why was he so eager to head back to WWE for half the pay?

My assumption was that K-Dawg was high, lying, or both.

Literally cannot be worse than last time.

With Josh Mathews there is no floor for how bad it can/will get. Between calling the wrong moves and his inability to modulate his voice below "screaming", there'll be lots of shilling for TNA and for Slammiversary. I would rather poo poo in my shoes and walk around all day than listen to that.

Last time Matt Striker said "There's no thigh slapping here" and it was possibly not even in the top ten awful things to happen involving the announcer team.

Three weeks ago Josh called four diffferent moves a "lungblower" on the same episode of Impact.

Nope!

I'm still baffled at the fact that AAA is apparently in such a poo poo position that they're being given demands from TN-loving-A and having to meet those demands. Especially when it's something that will detract from the show even more than Striker did.

To put it in perspective, even the most voracious defenders of TNA, TNAMecca, hate Josh Mathews.
