classiq. Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 WWE could be closing in on signing a talent they have had their eyes on for years. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the professional wrestling juggernaut is interested in signing 31-year-old Angelico. He is a former Lucha Underground star who announced his departure from the company this past April. WWE and Angelico have been having on-and-off again discussions over the years, but his deal with Lucha Underground was always a big road block. Now WWE could finally pull the trigger on signing the South African to a deal. He has been wrestling since 2007 when he got his start for WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T’s now-defunct Pro Wrestling Alliance: Africa promotion. The former Lucha Underground Trios Champion and AAA World Tag Team Champion has worked for several promotions throughout his career such as AAA and PWG. His last match took place in Dublin, Ireland at the OTT That Ring Really Tied The Room Together show where he lost to Mike Bailey. http://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/wwe-reportedly-targeting-former-lucha-underground-star/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Angelico's the *censored*ing man. Would hate to do this to the Worldwide Underground on LU, but it would be great if they snatched up Jack Evans too. Angelico and Evans were an awesome tag team in Mexico.

St★rstruck Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I came in to this thread hoping it was gonna be Rey Fenix instead, but Angelico is dope as well. I actually can see WWE ever going for Fenix that hard now that they have Almas on the rise, although I don't think its hurt to have two top Latin stars.

St★rstruck Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I haven't watched LU since like season 2, lol. But watched Slammiversary and he's still as fun as ever to watch, and he's smooth and innovative as hell with his offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiq. Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 In (somewhat) related news... WWE has expressed interest in the services of both Lucha Brothers. Both Pentagon and Fenix are believed to be locked into contracts with Lucha Underground, however. Their current deals require them to prioritize Lucha Underground tapings throughout 7 seasons. Lucha Undergrounds 4th season is currently airing. Theres been overtures to Fenix and Pentagon Jr., wrote Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer. Even though as far as Ive heard both still have three seasons left on their Lucha Underground deals. Pentagon and Fenix have been all over the professional wrestling scene as of late. Pentagon Jr is the Lucha Underground champion (unless he lost it last night) and was the Impact World Champion earlier this year. Fenix is also a former Lucha Underground World Champion. WWE has been interested in several talents as of late who have decided not to sign. Eli Drake opted not to give the company another chance after his developmental experience didnt go as planned. Brian Cage gave a similar reason for not signing with WWE before he signed with Lucha Underground. Juice Robinson completely rebuffed WWE last week after rumors the company was interested in him surfaced. Fenix and Pentagon are scheduled to face the members of oVe tonight on Impact Wrestling. Earlier this year, Pentagon spoke with Sports Illustrated regarding the influence Konnan, Rey Mysterio, and Alberto El Patron have had on his career. Those three men are very, very important, especially Konnan, said Pentagon. Hes always been with me, he is my guide and a friend. Rey Mysterio has also had a major influence on me. He is one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time, a great person. Before, he was my idol. Now, he is my friend. Alberto is another person I admire and he is someone who believed in me. I am grateful to have support from my idols. https://www.sescoops.com/wwe-reportedly-interested-in-pentagon-jr-fenix/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Idk how WWE would treat Pentagon, but that dude could go seriously far. Fenix is legit memsmerising to watch, he could be great on any brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
