Guest Trivia247 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Thanks to Juan Dealba for he following: "I went this evening to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and there was a new edition of Lucha Magazine and the headline was "Guess who is going to WWE?" so I started to read the magazine and it turn out to be Essa Rios (Mr. Aguila). Just to let you know." It's been rumored that both Essa Rios and Juventud Guerrera are possibly coming to WWE. With the rumors of these two being brought in along with Psicosis and Super Crazy, it appears that WWE is making a bigger commitment to the Cruiserweight division, which can only be viewed as a positive.
Guest Brian Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Who is Juan Dealba? Wouldn't these guys be back just for the ECW show?
Carnival Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Anyone remember the time, i think it was during 00 or 01. Vince McMahon was shown talking on his phone, then he was asking how various superstars were...he said maineventers names...then just said essa rios outta nowhere. Hilarious. i don't remember exaclty how it went. something like he was pretending to be on the phone with someone else, cuz someone came in the room, can anyone clarify?

Hilarious. i don't remember exaclty how it went. something like he was pretending to be on the phone with someone else, cuz someone came in the room, can anyone clarify? not sure about that one but I loved when Kurt Angle accused Essa of running down austin. It was sd and the whole roster was in the ring basically. Kurt was accused and he was like hey what about essa? his reaction face was priceless/
Youth N Asia Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I liked Essa. I imagine he'll get a small push to come back with, then just be another Velocity job boy
2GOLD Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I thought Meltz already said these guys were being signed for the spanish specific program they were starting soon? And aren't Velocity and Heat dead soon as the SpikeTV contract runs out anyway?
Carnival Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I didn't know of any spanish only program. I thought they were getting RAW broadcast on Telemundo with this new deal, thats all i heard.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I saw Angle wrestle Essa Rios live for a Sunday Night heat match although it was a non-title match. Maybe they should bring him back as Papi Chulo...
Silence Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 I hope Essa does better than the last time I saw him in TNA last year (Not the same as he used to be in the ring).
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 I thought that Essa Rios worked really soft at WrestleMania 14 (his kicks were weak and the execution was just third-rate compared to what Nitro's cruisers were pumping out). So my first look at him made me dissapointed. However, as Essa Rios and his LHW Title run, I thought he was pretty good. He wasn't super, but for the WWF, which always was never associated with high-flying cruiser-types, he was good. I remember liking Essa/Eddie and enjoying the Essa breakup when he moonsaulted Lita. Plus he had a few other good matches in there. In NWA-TNA, I found him to be sloppy and slower. I just wasn't entertained. Who knows, though. I saw one of Mysterio's first WWE matches in Atlantic City (Smackdown! TV Taping dark match, the one where Rock returns with Busta Rhymes, Cena/Taker V. Jericho/Angle main event). Mysterio wrestled Funaki and I found Rey to be unexciting. And look at the awesome stuff he pumped out just weeks later. Maybe Rios' work in TNA was seen as poor (in my opinion) due to his opponents being green, unfamiliar, or not able to keep up with him. I say sign the guy for a few appearences and see how he does. Couldn't hurt.
Precious Roy Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 With the new deal Velocity is canceled and replaced with an exclusive Telemundo show. So not only will the cruisers continue to not get pushed on SD, now they'll be on a fucking Spanish language station that I don't even get! Awesome!
haws bah gawd Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 Who could forget Essa Rios' assless chaps from his TNA appearances? *shudder* He had a few good maneuvers during his last run though. Not to mention his moonsault was fucking sweet, and he got insane air on it.
AndrewTS Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 Anyone remember the time, i think it was during 00 or 01. Vince McMahon was shown talking on his phone, then he was asking how various superstars were...he said maineventers names...then just said essa rios outta nowhere. Hilarious. i don't remember exaclty how it went. something like he was pretending to be on the phone with someone else, cuz someone came in the room, can anyone clarify? I seem to remember Vince needed to have an excuse for why he was where he was at the time (I think it may have been when it seemed like he was cheating on Linda with one of the "Alliance" Divas, or something). And it'd be nice to see Essa back but I don't have much hope of him being used well. it appears that WWE is making a bigger commitment to the Cruiserweight division, LOL
LessonInMachismo Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 Mr. Aguila is FAT now. Doesn't anyone watch Galavision?
Dobbs 3K Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 I think the Vince thing was he was somewhere with, I believe Trish Stratus, and he was talking on the phone with Stephanie. He asked Stephanie "how is everyone doing? (names a couple guys), Rikishi, uh, Essa Rios?"
razazteca Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 Mr. Aguila Super Crazy is FAT now. Doesn't anyone watch Galavision? BREAKIN NEWZ: AAA es muy sucko
LessonInMachismo Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 Mr. Aguila Super Crazy is FAT now. Doesn't anyone watch Galavision? BREAKIN NEWZ: AAA es muy sucko Aren't they both muy gordo? Yes, es muy sucko. Sucko gran vergas. And that is why I am angry that Shocker is jumping to AAA. You think the dirt sheets got it wrong and he just got a job with the insurance company?

No wonder he looks like crap in TNA....
Guest Redhawk Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 If Juventud comes back, there's a money feud with Chris Jericho right there. Remember how during the Alliance era, The Rock was always clowning Jericho about "getting your monkey ass whupped by a jabroni named Juventud"? Now Jericho would have a chance to kill any speculation that Juventud is better than him.

Now Jericho would have a chance to kill any speculation that Juventud is better than him. How many people would actually remember that
Guest Redhawk Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 BTW, I wasn't serious, in case you were thinking that. Anyway, I would think some people might remember.
Guest Vitamin X Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 I would, but only because I haven't watched for 2 1/2 years..
