WWE Rumors: Interest in Mexican Wrestlers

The Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports that WWE is attempting to sign Mexican/Mexican-American wrestlers Shocker, Mistico and Perro Aguayo, Jr. in an attempt to expand its support in the Hispanic community.

WWE is most optimistic about inking a deal with Shocker, an English speaker who has support from creative team member Dusty Rhodes.

Based on their statuses in Mexico, however, Mistico and Aguayo could prove more difficult to acquire, especially because there's a chance WWE won't provide them with major pushes upon debuting.

Interestingly, when the SmackDown! Juniors Division was first proposed, it was designed as a launching pad to turn Mistico into a star. However, by the time the Juniors proposal reached those at the top of the WWE food chain, it was turned into a midget comedy idea.
