ARO LUCHA SETS NEXT TV TAPING, FULL DETAILS

By Mike Johnson on 2018-05-01 10:07:00

Aro Lucha, the promotion from former Impact Wrestling minority owner and production company Aroluxe, will hold their next TV taping on 6/17 in Nashville, TN at the Nashville Fairgrounds (aka the former TNA Asylum.)  No talents have been announced as of this writing, but the taping is being billed as "Rey Mysterio & Aro Lucha present..."

Tickets for the taping begin at $25 for general admission and can be purchased at this link, including a VIP meet and greet with Mysterio.

As previously reported by PWInsider.com, Aroluxe had been funding Impact tapings in exchange for a percentage of ownership in the company.  As we broke back in 2016, the company was in a position to claim ownership over Impact Wrestling had Dixie Carter not maintained regular payments reimbursing Aroluxe.  As it turned out, Anthem Media would come in as an investor and eventually purchase Impact from Carter's company Impact Ventures LLC.  That left Aroluxe out in the cold as they were not retained as Impact's production company.  It is believed by several sources that Anthem makes regulay payments to Aroluxe, buying out their ownership percentage.

Since Aro Lucha's pilot TV taping in Nashville, the company has run several live events in Texas, utilizing a number of talents, including John Hennigan, Low Ki, LAX, Shane "Hurricane" Helms, Juventud Guerrera, Sammy Guevara,  Chavo Guerrero Jr., Blue Demon Jr., James Storm, Demius,  Taya, Lady Apache, Maximo, Laredo Kid, Keyra, Xtra Talented, Steve Pain, Mascarita Dorada.  Konnan is in charge of the creative end of the company while Helms works as a producer behind the scenes as well.

The promotion had promised several months ago that it would tape "season one" of their TV series later this year.
