WWE Sign Another Lucha Star

Quote :

According to a source, WWE has signed top Lucha heel Averno. He worked for CMLL for many years in a feud with current WWE star Sin Cara back when he was known as Mistico.

There is no word yet on what the company plans on doing with him. There had been rumors of WWE signing talent from Mexico prior to their RAW and SmackDown! tapings in Mexico City in October.

Here he is Vs. Mistico/Sin Cara

Yeah more Luchadors in WWE

i bet del rio doesnt like this as he didnt like the sin cara signing

Yeah but Del Rio doesn't wear a mask or jump from the top rope, so bollocks to what he thinks

VIVA LA LUCHA

Why, because they're Mexican? Has Del Rio forgot Mysterio came before him?

I withdraw this comment after checking out Alberto Del Rio's wikipedia page as he did use to be a luchador wearing a mask.

BTW according to wikie he is 9-5 in MMA too, which explains his WWE finisher.

didnt Del Rio just have history with Sin Cara which is why he didnt like the signing?

Good news for the guy who makes botchamania, he's gonna have plenty of material to work with.

I have a feeling this guy was signed solely to work with Sin Cara - he seems to fuck up against everyone he faces, so giving him someone who speaks Spanish and has worked with him before makes sense.

-- Averno gave an interview yesterday denying that he is going to WWE, and said that his focus is taking La Mascara's mask. However his father, who is a CMLL referee, has confirmed in a separate interview that Averno is headed to WWE.

Yeah it looked like it just barely scrapped his head but yeah he did get knocked the fuck out. Looked completely out of place in MMA.

Mexican based wrestling magazine Super Luchas reported on Sunday that WWE had signed Averno, one of the top heel wrestlers in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He then claimed he hadn't signed with WWE and would prove it by defeating La Mascara in an upcoming Mask vs. Match Match. His father confirmed that his son had signed with WWE, but backtracked because it would make the result of the match, scheduled for June 17, obvious.

Averno participated in a tryout match with WWE in October, but was not signed then due to organization officials' directive on not obtaining talent older than 30 years unless established. He is 34 years old. As crazy as it sounds, that is considered "king of old" in WWE.

Averno, as well as WWE developmental wrestler Peter Orlov, participated in the filming of the vignettes promoting Sin Cara's debut. WWE's acquisition of the masked grappler is said to be directly related to the SmackDown! Superstar being asked to name the wrestler he worked best with, following concern over his match with Chavo Guerrero at Over the Limit. WWE officials are determined to make Sin Cara successful because he was promoted as the first discovery of Triple H in his role as chief of talent development. However, there has always skepticism on his prospects due to his inability to speak English and being thrown on television before learning the American style of wrestling.

It is considered certain that Averno will debut with a new ring name. One name being discussed for the 16-year wrestling veteran is Rey Ortiz II. He is also expected to perform without his mask.
