Rey Mysterio Reportedly Done With Lucha Libre AAA, Pay Issues With Talent

Source: WrestlingINC

There are major cash flow and pay issues with many AAA luchadores in Mexico, with the highest profile talent being Rey Mysterio. Mysterio is apparently done with AAA due to the late pay and corporate disorganization. He last appeared for the promotion last December.

Mysterio isn’t the only talent to be frustrated with the company, as there is a lot of disenchantment in AAA right now and several talent have complained about late pay. Many luchadores and office staff have contacted CMLL and ELITE about jumping, and some have reached out to WWE intermediaries. Chris Master also recently took to Twitter and posted a message about not receiving “a cent of help” from AAA after suffering an injury while wrestling for them, but deleted the tweet.

According to sources, the only way Mysterio would return to AAA is if they paid up and offered him guaranteed creative control.

Rey Mysterio will be in Buffalo for tonight’s RAW. It remains to be determined if Mysterio will be appearing on tonight’s RAW television broadcast. He may simply be meeting with officials to plot a return. The creative team is actively working on concepts to reintroduce him as a regular starting soon. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that Mysterio will return to WWE television, although it appears likely.

Mysterio has made it no secret that he is burned out and is looking to take a break from wrestling once his WWE contract expires this spring. Sources say he is interested in acting in Mexico as well as doing other no-wrestling projects.

A source said: “He’s been doing this for over 20 years and between the injuries and the mental burn out, he has no interest in AAA, Underground or re-upping with WWE.”

Ed’s Perspective : It’s Time To Rumble

Without a doubt, The Royal Rumble is my favorite match each year.

As I put together the information in this post, I did one thing very intentional, and that was not look at any of the so called experts and their predictions.

This is a DTRT exclusive article with most of the factual information coming from WWE.com.

Beginning in 1988, on national TV and not PPV, the brainchild of WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson had it’s debut.

Since then, 753 entrants have taken part in what this year will be the 27th annual event. An amazing 455,107 fans have attended the previous Rumbles.

I can’t speak for the other 455,106, but I had an awesome time watching Sheamus win the 2012 version live in St. Louis.

A couple of other interesting bits of Rumble history: HBK has a record 39 eliminations. That is followed closely by Kane with 37 eliminations in his 14 different Rumble matches, and an amazing 11 in 2001 match alone.

For the CM Punk fans who might be depressed by his #1 slot, Rey Mysterio lasted an astonishing 62 minutes and 12 seconds and HBK won the 1995 Rumble from the #1 position.

So, print your scorecard now , look at the following list, check out the predictions of the DTRT staff at the end, and

Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!

As of the Jan. 20 edition of Raw, the following Superstars have been announced as official entrants in this year’s 30-Superstar Royal Rumble Match:

Batista
CM Punk (Director of Operations Kane declared Punk will enter the match at No. 1)
Alberto Del Rio
Big E Langston
The Miz
R-Truth
Xavier Woods
Kofi Kingston
Cody Rhodes
Goldust
Rey Mysterio
Fandango
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins
Dean Ambrose
Erick Rowan
Luke Harper
Damien Sandow
Jimmy Uso
Jey Uso

Exclusive DTRT staff predictions:

John – Batista

Vanessa – CM Punk

I really hope Daniel Bryan pulls double duty cuz if so I’ll pull for him. If not I pick punk..

Trevor – Batista*

I say Batista only because of his current WWE deal puts him in a position to be in the spotlight. Do I think he deserves it? No, he came in last week and now most likely to main event Wrestlemania. This is one time I really hope my prediction is wrong.

Ed – Roman Reigns

All indications point to Batista, so I’m hoping that the creative minds go with someone who has earned the shot to headline Wrestlemania 30.
