El Rey Network which was founded by acclaimed movie director Robert Rodriguez held a press conference yesterday on the Television Critics Association press junket where all the networks talk up their upcoming new shows for the fall season and they announced that on Wednesday nights they will air two hours of what they called “original unscripted content” with one of those hours being Lucha: Uprising (a working title) which is the show featuring the stars of AAA produced by Survivor creator Mark Burnett. The show will start on October 8th and will air for at least 8 episodes to start and the big positive to come out of this for wrestling fans is that it airs on Wednesday nights which features no other wrestling programming to compete with.
CMLL held a press conference yesterday to announce the main events for their annual Juicio Final show on 8/1 at Arena Mexico which will see Rush finally face off against Negro Casas in a caballera contra caballera match with no escape which possibly means a steel cage match.
