Mistico is a draw in the US as well it seems.

IDGAF about numbers, but they are absolutely smashing it so people should be watching.

At this point anyone who doesn’t like AEW is a tribal queef. Been watching it all since ‘97 and AEW is a great place that showcases so much of the industry styles from hardcore to tech. It’s why I wasn’t on the whole “we need more storylines” steez years ago. Sure, if you’re gonna be a mainstream company they need that, and they’ve been working on it more since last year.

Danielson the GOAT co-signs AEW. That should be good enough for any fan of this industry to watch.

Also, people that say they want them to “get better” are some high maintenance divas. Wrestling companies have never been perfect. There’s never been a company that has had everything they do hit at 100 mph.

If a wrestling company has more good than bad going on it’s a win. If you can’t enjoy it why waste time on it.

WWE showed their hand already so a raid on CMLL won’t go like they think

Mistico is a draw in the US as well it seems.

AEW booked Místico in Texas last year and he drew like 2-3k tickets in like a week.

 

[Jmare007]

Wonder if they're setting up CMLL to get an alley-oop on Mistico/MJF or if AEW is running it when they go back?

It's gotta be for either at All In or for Anniversario. I'd be shocked if it's for any other two shows.

@Cattle Mutilation the Atlantis Jr. hate goes beyond the nepobaby thing according to cubsfan:

Grand Slam Mexico, FantasticaMania Mexico, AAA in Queretaro

AEW AEW (WED) 06/18/2025 Arena México [AEW, ESTO, Telediario, thecubsfan] 1) Nick Wayne TLDRAW Titán [lightning] taped for ROH. Not officially a lightning match, but same 10-minute time limit. Titá…

I don’t know where this story comes from that Atlantis is never booed in Arena Mexico until Wednesday. He’s been booed by the smark fans when they show up in the past. He’s the reason Atlantis Jr. is booed. It’s not just a nepo-baby thing, two-thirds of the luchadors in CMLL are second-generation CMLL wrestlers. Mascara Dorada is pushed harder than Atlantis Jr., also got to the top very quickly, and no one boos him about it. Smark fans, indie Mexican fans, have felt like Atlantis got big wins over better workers because the company favored him. It goes back to the Ultimo Guerrero mask win, it goes back to the Villano III mask win – that one specifically made him the face of CMLL and the guy who extinguished the last embers of UWA, which those fans see as more ‘real’ because it’s remembered as bloodier and hard-hitting. That sentiment that CMLL overpushed Atlantis, and now they’re going to do the same thing with his son, is the original source of all this booing. (And, it’s also obviously now a cool rebellious thing to do.) CMLL presentation of Atlantis Jr. – “so much a prospect that NJPW requested to debut him on one of their shows” – absentmindedly feeds right into that discontent. It may have helped Atlantis Jr. if CMLL had revealed he’d actually been working a few prelim matches as El Tiburon, a little bit of the ‘earning it’ those fans believe Atlantis Jr. did. (I’m really interested if CMLL will learn from that and reveal Hijo del Atlantis has been prelim luchador El Tapatio when he finally debuts to deal with that criticism, or if the fans are so in on hating Atlantis that it won’t matter.) Mexican fans will throw out the idea that Atlantis Jr. is some sort of bad worker, but that doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny – it’s just easier to explain that saying “we just don’t like the guy.)

They need to book him for All In, a hair vs. mask match against MJF if he's willing to shave his head will move tickets with lucha libre fans in the area.

Plus MJF going bald will produce hilarious TV.

I mean, if CMLL is willing to give AEW that match, they absolutely should book it.

Bald MJF after getting his Turkish implants and going psycho mode with the rest of THS because of it This shyt was so fun I might start checking out weekly CMLL shows. What a delightful co-production that was the best of both worlds and everyone there to enjoy it in the crowd and in the ring.
