Last week, new WWE Mexico President Bosco Attolini Pesqueira said WWE is looking to sign some of the biggest wrestling names in Mexico. Pesqueira noted WWE now has its own offices in Mexico and its television on Televisa and TV Azteca, which gives them equal, if not better exposure, than both AAA and CMLL. He said the TV deals with make WWE bigger and entice talent to sign with them. Anyway, WWE has signed someone. The first signing is Dos Caras Jr., who has been in talks with WWE for a few months and was close to signing in the summer, but passed on the offer.

Caras Jr. said he's leaving on bad terms with CMLL, but will fulfill a few more bookings, with his last night being this Friday night at Arena Mexico in the main event. Caras Jr. still holds the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, and while it's been known for a few months that he may be leaving, they never set up a program for him to lose the title.

One of the reasons he's leaving CMLL for WWE is because in his eyes, CMLL didn't seem too care if he left or not. After WWE made him an offer over the summer, CMLL never tried to convince him to stay. Caras Jr. said the only reason he's fulfilling all of his dates for CMLL is because he's a professional and plans to honor his contract until it expires.

Caras Jr. said CMLL is in bad shape, noting the unhappy wrestlers and lackluster attendance. Caras Jr. plans on vacating the title and said CMLL thought he would take the belt with him to WWE. However, WWE isn't going to recognize the title of another organization they have no relationship with.

So...What do you guys think of this Dos Caras Jr. if you know of him...Seen a couple of vids on youtube and he looks like an amazing luchador wrestler. For me personally...It would be awesome if he came in to the WWE as a heel, with the CMLL heavyweight title. Not for WWE to recognise it as a title that they could use, but as a title belt that Dos Caras Jr. to come in with and boast about how good he is having never lost the belt whilst being in CMLL. Whether WWE would do that or not is another story, and it depends on whether he does in deed lose it before his commitments are up.

Its really difficult for the fans to him if he's amazing in ring as you said. Ideal way is to debut him in RAW as the tag partner of Rey Rey and turn him or Bourne heel for the battle to partner Rey.

That's one thing, but almost certainly he will be sent to FCW and we will wait how many years he spends there before getting called up to the main roster.

I really don't expect them to do much with this guy unless they bring back the cruiserweight title.

Dos Caras Jr. goes about 6 ft 4, so i dont see the cruiserweight title helping

**Taroostyles** · 10-09-2008, 05:23 PM

Yeah Caras is a bigger luchador, he's pretty impressive tho. If they were looking for guys to work matches with Rey and Bourne they should've looked into guys like Ultimo Guerrero and Rey Bucanero. (They were awesome in the World X Cup earlier this year)

As much as I'd like to see Vince and the E get committed to high flying wrestling, I just think over time it won't end up working out. Hope I'm wrong tho.

Possibly bringing back the Crusierweight Title? If so good move Vince

**Alim** · 10-09-2008, 06:56 PM

I don't get the point of signing Lucha Libre talent if there's no Cruisweweight or some sort of Lightweight title, lol.

**taylorfitz** · 10-09-2008, 07:04 PM

If the guy is 6'4 I think he might have a chance to do something.

Still they should bring back the CW title. There are so many great, small wrestlers out there that would be perfect for the CW division.

Bourne as a heel...don't think thats happening any time soon.

**taylorfitz** · 10-09-2008, 07:31 PM

I think Bourne would be a terrible heel. His incredible, high flying moves are what people like about him. I think it's the only reason he is so over. Take that away from him and I'm not sure what you have. Then again it woked for Kendrick, so I guess there is a chance it could work for Bourne but I don't see it.
