This week on Lucha Talk the Trio are breaking out their thinking caps, discussing a concept talked about by Lucha fans for over 25 years since AAA's formation, AAA vs CMLL. Dylan, Alfredo, & Raul give their take on realistic cross-promotional matches they would want to see, the behind the scenes dealings that have prevented the companies from working together to this point, as well as the chances of this dream promotional war becoming a reality. Before that we recall the past week in Lucha including a well above average AAA TV show and a CMLL Legends show that was pretty good until a truly awful main event occurred. In addition a rare American based opening as we talk about Andrade "Cien" Almas and his big NXT Title win.
