:wow:

Is Del Rio being forced out or is he leaving by his own decision? He returned in October 2015. That's a pretty short contract. :jbhmm:

He had leverage. They wanted him to hurt LU/AAA, which taking him away for a year accomplished. He knew this

He definitely did NOT hurt LU as they picked up Rey Mysterio right after he left. They're dont even need him back now. AAA was hurting but they're were having money issues then.

Theres probably a termination mechanism after a year, and theres mutual dissatisfaction

:russ: This didn't hurt LU at all. In fact, they're about to get a 4th Season. Del Rio was too much of a ho and went for the bigger check and now he's back to being irrelevant and useless on the WWE roster.

How many seasons has TNA had? That doesn't mean anything

:dahell: Why are you bringing up TNA?

My point is that Del Rio leaving LU hasn't hurt them in any way. They even poked fun at his absence on the show. Acting like WWE "stealing" Del Rio has sabotaged LU/AAA is laughable. :heh:

ADR was fukking over promoters all around the world before WWE called him back in the first place. And he left people high and dry the FIRST time he went to WWE, so anyone that hired him should have been well aware to not put too much stock in him.

TNA is run by a money mark with her dad's checkbook. LU is funded by a group of investors who can pull the plug at a moments notice. For a company that doesnt even tour, they are doing phenomenally well.
? Their ratings are shyt and they turn no profit. In what way are they doing well? How is TNA's ex-investor a money mark but the people funding the money-losing LU "investors"? Is it oochie wally wally or is it one mic?

LU's viewership numbers are a fraction of TNA's numbers, which are total shyt



receipts:

"Impact on 7/12 did 358,000 viewers, which was down from the 410,000 for the Final Deletion show and all the hype. It will still ahead of the 322,000 number of two weeks earlier."
-Wrestling Observer

So that's

6/28 322,000
7/5 410,000
7/12 358,000

and for LU:
6/29 116,000
7/6 104,000
7/13 108,000
(source: ShowBuzz Daily)

even if you were to unfairly add the two LU airings (first airing and replay), they still don't touch TNA's shytty ratings for their one airing

from the same Observer issue with the Impact ratings (issue dated 7/25/16):
" The basic situation here is that the Roldan family put a lot of their own money up for Lucha Underground and obviously that hasn’t paid off financially. "

Observer 2/22/16
"According to one company source, the amount of money lost thus far is, after two seasons, slightly less than half of what TNA had lost after ten years in business"

"phenomenally well" you say? :ohhh:

Again, they don't tour. That is the biggest money making opportunity they have. They also have an costly presentation to bring up. What possible revenue stream can they have without that?

A money mark is someone who funds the company and puts themself on tv as a central character and only keeps it going as a means to continue being in the spotlight. An investor invests money (wether it winds up succeeding or not) as a business venture. There is a clear business difference.

No matter whatever cute Nas analogies you think you can use, you are still wrong. Lucha Underground does not need Del Rio, theyre doing as well as a company can with no expected revenue stream, and Dixie is a money mark.

The only thing you can really catch them on is the ratings, which im not even sure what their objective is at this point.

You said they are doing "phenomenally well", now it's they're doing as well as you can expect them to do with no money being generated.

Without referencing any nas songs, which is it?

TNA had a money mark, LU has people investing money into a losing proposition. They both suck at running a wrestling show/business/promotion.

I didn't say LU needs Alberto. I said WWE wanted him away from LU to hurt them. Taking away one of their 2 major ex-WWE stars (Johnny Nitro doesn't count) hurts them. Now they have one guy who has been on major national TV, and Rey will cave eventually and leave them too

:wow:


all those rumors look like made up guessing shyt.

Just a week ago I saw him in a interview where he said he wanted to wrestle a couple more years and finish his career in the WWE.
Then hes on smackdown where the roster is so thin he has a chance of making it to the top again.
then he smashing pale white bytches

dont believe it

Lucha Underground is hardly a wrestling promotion. They tape seasons in one building that dont even air live. Its the same effect as WSX. Its really just a TV show about wrestling. Im not even sure what the endgame for them is.

I said they are doing phenomenally well for a company that doesn't tour and they are. Half of their roster is on loan from AAA and the other are from the So Cal area. They all get paid on time and they havent been pulled off of a channel some people dont even get for ratings. So you tell me, what are they doing wrong?

Also if Rey leaves it also does not hurt them. It is a smark show he is an added. Ricochet leaving will hurt them more. Cage leaving will hurt them. Guys they put so much time in hurts them. Rey is being used to put over the guys there.
