Hey…Remember Super Astros?

By Scott Keith on 18 January 2017

Hi Scott,

With all the rumors of WWE adding more localized content for the network, I remembered Super Astros; their Spanish language lucha show from the late 90’s.

What was the deal with that? I only vaguely remember its existence. Other than Savio Vega and minis who was the talent? Did this specifically tie in with a Mexican promotion? Because if not, what exactly was the point? Were they toying with the idea of having WWF in Mexico with the Super Astros talent?

They’ve been toying with that idea forever. That’s why they keep pushing Alberto Del Rio and will continuously push Rey Mysterio if he returns again. They were mainly allied with CMLL because WCW had all the AAA guys through Konnan, and it was yet another attempt to build their brand in Latin America. And then as usual Vince got bored with it after a month and fired all the Mexicans and had matches with Scotty 2 Hotty and Kaientai instead.
