So the company is now called Impact Wrestling Anthem?

From what I understand, Anthem is trying to get a bunch of sports content, like FloSports is doing. So you might see Anthem E-Sports or things like that.

It's a real shame, but maybe AAA/LU will finally break the streak next year.

Has Lucha Underground gotten that bad? I know their business side has been really ramshackle from the start, but I've seen up to midway season 3 and the match/storyline quality was dipping but not really that much. Are they bigger scumbags backstage than I realize?

They've started legally threatening indie promotions to try and keep Fenix and Pentagon from getting booked.

It's basically AAA being scumbags with Lucha Underground being guilty by association.

It isn't guilt by association when the exact same scumbags are running talent for both companies

I'm not sure if you missed it Gavok, but it recently came out that the LU producers turned over full talent relations to Dorien Roldan and AAA.

Which was still after both parties utterly hosed with the Mexican talent by various means including contract fuckers, booking fees, and cheating the visa system.
