WWE Announcer Situation, More On Lucha Stars To WWE, More

As noted yesterday, second guessing of the announcers switch increased this past week. Internally, there is said to be a tremendous amount of unhappiness with the Michael Cole/Jerry Lawler combination on Raw. Some officials have actually discussed shooting an angle that would put the old teams back together, but pretty much everyone believes that it's not happening anytime soon. Also, Vince is said to not be thinking about reverting the change, and just trying to get Cole to be the Raw announcer he wants him to be.

According to a wrestling magazine in Mexico, Lucha libre star Damian 666, 47, from the CMLL promotion said WWE was interested in bringing him into ECW along with Mr. Aguila (Essa Rios), but he hadn't been formerly offered the position. He also said he would turn it down. Even though he said he would turn it down, he recently had a tryout anyway in an empty arena with the likes of Batista, Undertaker, Edge, Mick Foley and others watching. He said it was intimidating. It should be noted that you can't always trust what the Lucha libre wrestlers say regarding their WWE/TNA prospects to the magazines as they're obviously not going to say that they were rejected. Instead, it makes them look better by saying they rejected the big leagues.
