As previously reported, Vampiro is starting a new wrestling promotion called Revolution X wrestling. As a result, Vampiro, 39, has officially quit AAA. Pepe Villa is the president of the company, as Vampiro will serve as vice president. The new promotion is looking at using TNA talent including Samoa Joe, Abyss and Ron Killings. One would think TNA talent will be exclusive to Antonio Pena's AAA. The promotion will run its first TV tapings on 9/2, 9/15, and 9/30 in Guadalajara. Vampiro claims to have a two-year contract with Televisa on a regional basis in Mexico, and a deal with Sky TV. Names announced for the first taping include Teddy Hart, Extreme Tiger and Sean Waltman.
