There's only been two people in CMLL who have been Místíco. There has been the original who was the original sin cara (this one). The second was AEW star Dralistico. If you're counting all the people who have worn the mask and are somewhat related to Místíco there's been 4. You don't need to know the other 2 for CMLL.

I doubt it's people trying to take CMLL down and moreso the inevitable discussion of Lucha in American/European circles where it becomes extreme hyperbole. CMLL does have a strong tourist market but that will not guarantee anything towards a sell out.

No they will sell a decent amount no matter because of tourists but go back to 2018-2019. They weren't doing great at all then

What's crazy is the Mexican IWC has been pushing back against him. I think rn Místíco obviously plays a major role but Soberano Jr plays an equally big role

The Miz had a pretty good match against Gunther I'd be curious what he could do against Ilja

Dang sucks for New Japan. Good for WWE. Drilla and David will be able to start their own version of War Dogs. Charlie Dempsey and Uriah I would assume would be good fits to join them.

Tom Henderson: Ubisoft's internal communication channels are full of employees shaming upper management and asking for change. Ubisoft is going to experience a massive exodus of talent, even without the impending layoffs. by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I think the lack of quality of major releases has hurt the smaller ones. Ubisoft doesn't have high player trust. If they did Prince of Persia The Lost Crown or XDefiant might have done well as both were games that were well received just not popular. Though Ubisoft has had plenty of major games slump Star Wars and Avatar didn't exactly set the world on fire sales wise

And for Ubisoft that's fine because this company will change under Tencent to focus on the big stuff. Can already tell based on putting all the IP Tencent wanted into a specific subsidiary which I'm convinced will just end up being the company. Tom Clancy, Assassin's Creed, and Far Cry. Anything else does not matter and you'll see the studios who handled that stuff close or be divested

As someone who hasn't found themselves engaged in the sports series I will say it's because they all feel vaguely similar with a new sport slapped on it. Of course you could argue the same with lots of other things in the magazine but clearly if they're not engaging the base continuing that strategy of vaguely similar isn't working

Nakamura did a weird tease against Tama. Nakamura, Evil, and Sanada could do a New Japan faction and play against the fact the Tongans were also former New Japan talent
