Total failure on AAA's part. They should have replaced Cherry Bomb with Chelsea so we could have had Team Lance Storm.

lol, a true Team Canada. But i don't think Chelsea is back since she got he face kicked in.

Then book Raechael Ellering. Team Lance Storm> Team Canada because Lance Storm> Canada.

This just occurred to me? How did AAA manage to get a "Team NOAH"? Shouldn't the NJPW-CMLL relationship prevent that?

i did wonder about that too. I think that NJPW doesn't care, and CMLL themselves have no relation with NOAH anyways. Consider that NJPW and ROH could go to the world cup if they wanted to, they just don't to be good partners with CMLL, but if NOAH is not a partner with CMLL, they can go. ROH did last year, but this year they are more mixed with NJPW, and I understand they want to start sharing the Young Lions later on in the year with CMLL

TNA has allowed guys to go to ELITE, who are technically in bed with CMLL too

I don't think TNA and AAA have a real relationship the way that NJPW does with ROH and CMLL, though.

Also, while ROH did do some stuff with AAA last year (going to the world cup, using Alberto), but that stopped in the middle of the year, and I was pretty sure the reason for that was that CMLL didn't want them working with AAA (didn't Lethal work for CMLL when they tried a show in Costa Rica or somewhere like that?).

ROH stopped because of loyalty with NJPW, those were the days were Watanaabe was being misused and there were rumors that NJPW was pulling their guys from the ROH shows, so ROH went full in with respecting NJPW and their own partnerships.
