Once again WWE has released Hispanic wrestlers from their talent roster.This time out it was their so called junior division made up of Octagoncito,Tsuki, Mascarita Sagrada,Super Porky and a few others whose names I can't recall at the moment.The majority of the junior division was predominantly Mexican which raises some questions regarding wether this can be viewed as racial discrimination.Of course it can be said that they were released because they were never really over,which I admit.But if they weren't over it's because the WWE mishandled the junior division from the start.Super Porky himself came off as embarrasing as the few times he appeared on camera he was usually stuffing himself with big pieces of chicken.It was obvious from the start that the WWE had no real intention of pushing the minis so what was the point in hiring them in the first place.Super Porky actually no showed various dates in Mexico and indy shows in the US because of his WWE deal and now that he is no longer with them this could hurt him with the other promoters who may have a bad taste in their mouths because of his no-shows.
There are rumors that TNA wants to sign big name CMLL superstars but if the way the WWE has been handling their Mexican talent is a sign of things to come all those CMLL stars should just say "Thanks but no thanks".

Hector Garza was given a sizeable push by TNA before he got busted for steroids. They also treated the arrival of Shocker as a huge deal and he was also given a nice push. I don't think there will be a problem with TNA using Mexican talent in a proper way. Plus, why should they say no when they stand to make more money in TNA than they do in Mexico

You'd ve surrpised.Guys who headline Arena Mexico don't charge per match but get a percentage of the house take.That amounts to good money.I think TNA will have to deal with AAA talent because CMLL doesn't want their talent having to be on the same show as Konnan who is currently a part of AAA.
