Charles "Konnan" Ashenoff has been named head writer of a new promotion called
Arolucha Inc. It is being backed by Aroluxe, who financed part of TNA before
Anthem took over. The promotion will tape a pilot this month in Nashville. Vince
Russo's name has come up as a possible member of the creative team. Konnan was
booking the Tijuana based Crash Lucha Libre but has been let go from the
promotion. Rumors of him being let go began after a tour around Mexico that
didn’t draw and had some shows cancelled. Their official statement was, "The
Crash Lucha Libre brand is known for the way we treat people and value each and
every single person that works in this company. Bettering the economical and
habitual needs. Showing the support for each element and giving opportunity to
new talent. In this way, the value and professionalism shown between each of its
partners. Not being able to comply with the Crash Lucha Libre code of ethic is
something we do not tolerate in this company. With that being said, we now
announce that Carlos Santiago Espada, 'Konnan,' will be longer be working with
The Crash." With him not being there makes people wonder how the promotion is
going to survive since he booked all the talent and most of those wrestlers are
booked for Arolucha. |
