Lucha Underground Reportedly Talking With Several Familiar Faces, Update On TV Tapings, More

- The AAA & El Rey Lucha Underground promotion will resume tapings on January 17th, 18th, 24th and 25th in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. These plans aren't confirmed yet but the idea is to do a Saturday and Sunday taping every other week or every other few weeks from now through April.

- Lucha Underground continues to have negotiations with several talents. We noted last week that top indie tag team The Young Bucks tweeted about an "insulting" offer they received from the promotion. LU officials weren't happy with the tweet but they are still trying to sign the duo.

Willie Mack and former TNA Knockout Sarita (Sarah Stock) are also in talks with the promotion. It appears Guam Olympic wrestler Jeff Cobb will also be starting on the next season. Cobb had a WWE tryout in 2014 but was not signed. He reportedly did the best in his tryout camp and was phenomenal in every athletic drill but the age factor was working against him as he's in his 30's and most of the amateur wrestlers that WWE has signed have been bigger than Cobb.
