Dave Meltzer is reporting that WWE is trying to secure deals with Mexican regulars Shocker, Perro Aguayo Jr., and Mistico. Dusty Rhodes has pushed for Shocker, whom he worked with in TNA. Another plus for Shocker is that he is from California, and can speak English. The Smackdown audience is heavily Hispanic. On an interesting side note, CMLL is putting together a Mistico vs. Aguayo Jr. mask vs. hair match next month to combat WWE's shows in the country next month.

Really waxing awesome news! I hope they sign them they appear intreasted in all three. I hope they get thm since they are all amazing workers and with Smackdown's audience signing them just makes sense. Shocker will probaly go further with him speaking english, but all three could really give a boost to the crusier divison has really no faces and Mistico as Cruiserweight Champion could be one of the best things ever. I also am intreasted about Perro Aguayo Jr. I've never seen him before so it would be really nice to see how he works, because I saw his dad in a couple matches and he was great. Anyway this seems like awesome news.

Shocker would go to ECW since he's one of Dusty's boys.

that sounds great, I hope not but probably will happen is giving them a ridiculous gimmick. If they do sign them put them on smackdown and build that cruiserweight division. Keep them how they are now they are already awesome

Yeah I just worry about Mistico with his whole backstory that could sound kind of ridiclous. But as long as they don't go overboard it will be good. Plus we all know from TNA that Shocker is good so if the hire him I can only see good things happening. ALso they should put Johnny Jeter in the Crusierweight Division as well and than you actually have a very good division.

Mistico would be a good choice for their "new generation" centerpiece luchador. Like how Mysterio was for WCW all those years.
It's been over a decade since ECW and WCW brought in guys like Mysterio, Juvi, Psicosis, etc.
WWE can't cling to those guys forever, Rey and Chavo are like the only ones left and won't be around forever.

I really like Mistico and Aguayo and I hope WWE do bring them in. Shocker, sign him, dont sign him, whatever. Im not a Shocker fan, but I can tolerate him. Ive seen him some in Mexico, meh. In TNA he was bland as hell and I couldnt have cared less about him in TNA. But hes an ok worker, so he can help.
If they do bring in Shocker, gimmick his ass up. Make me interested in him, make him more than just that guy from the McDonald's commericals who looks like a somewhat younger, Mexican version of my grandfather that can flippity flop some.

That's pretty awesome. I love Shocker, and like what I've seen from Mistico, so sign them ASAP. As for Perro Aguayo, I've never seen him go, how is he?
Side note: This is why I love Dusty behind the scenes. He loves to bring in the mexican guys to work, and I love the Lucha Libre style.

wait Shocker was in a McDonalds commercial Yeah, is was on about 2 years or so ago. There was a masked wrestler trying to eat a Big Mac or something and he kept taking his masks off and just had more masks on underneath.

WWE is never going to push the cruiserweight division. They've signed James Gibson, Juvi, Psycosis, Super Crazy. Kid Kash and nothing ever came of it.
Mistico won't be allowed to wrestle how he wants and they'll end up making his finisher the the headlock or something.

This sounds great. WWE may have just restarted the Cruiserweight Division.

How many stupid marks are gonna write off Mistico as a "Rey Mysterio wannabee" though?

How many stupid marks are gonna write off Mistico as a "Rey Mysterio wannabee" though? Valid point, sadly. Even though, at this point, he's probably twice the wrestler Rey is, from a lucha standpoint.

Mistico is the biggest draw in the world right now. Bar none.
When he headlines Arena Mexico last summer: 16,000+
When he took time off: 4,500. That's drawing power.
Sadly, I fear for him in WWE if he goes. I just don't see it going well. Shocker has going against him that he's not that good a wrestler.
