TV Network announces new wrestling promotion to begin second half of 2014
 

Robert Rodriguez's (From Dusk Till Dawn, Sin City) new tv network 'El Rey' will launch a new national wrestling organization in the U.S., based on the most popular sport in Mexico following futbol, Lucha Libre and in coordination with current organization Lucha Libre AAA.

TV Megaproducer Mark Burnett (The Bible, Survivor, The Apprentice) will produce and a number of individuals, such as Konaan, are working on it behind the scenes. The goal is to bring in Mexican talent in along with former WWE/TNA talent to hopefully create a new major brand in wrestling.

This will be great if the commentators speak english. Japan should follow suit and have translations for their shows.
