Спорт

    AAA wrestling is cursed when it comes to their attempts to break into the US market. Their first big go of it happened in the 90's and ended up petering out after their top heel Art Barr died (he was also Eddie Guerrero's tag partner.) Then about a decade ago they tried again with the added buzz of Rey Mysterio coming back to AAA to work with his former rival Perro Aguayo Jr. only for him to die in a match with Rey.😢
