Several luchadors from CMLL could receive US work visas in the coming weeks.
In February, it was reported that several CMLL stars were not going to be able to work in the United States following a breakdown in communication between CMLL and a Texas-based independent promotion, Full Blown Pro Wrestling, who had been sponsoring their visa applications.
Our own Dave Meltzer provided an update on the situation in yesterday’s Daily Update.
“We are told the situation with several CMLL wrestlers and their visas is sorting itself out, and for some, it could be as early as this coming week to be sorted out,” Meltzer wrote. “The key names this impacts are Soberano Jr., Templario, Blue Panther (who Bryan Danielson wanted to wrestle), Dulce Gardenia, Sagrado, Capitan Suicida, Espiritu Negro, Euforia, Fugaz, Robin, Sangre Imperial, and Los Gemelo Diablos.”
Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez addressed the situation on the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, noting that CMLL stars who had appeared on AEW programming, such as Mistico, Hechicero, Volador Jr, and Mascara Dorada, already have their visas.
“Everyone who has appeared in AEW has nothing to do with this, they already have their visas. What happened was an independent promotion got visas for a lot of the CMLL guys long before AEW was using them,” Meltzer said on the show.
“Rush is back as you saw on Saturday night. He had been having a visa issue as well. Dralistico I’m presuming should be back, although he hasn’t been back yet,” he continued.
