| According to PWInsider.com, former TNA stars Frankie Kazarian and The Young Bucks were offered deals by AAA for El Rey Network’s Lucha Underground, however they turned the offers down.
Additionally, former WWE talents Ezekiel Jackson, Savannah and Maxine were all offered deals, and they have until today to sign them.
Chavo Guerrero, who has yet to sign an official deal, will be working for Lucha Underground in a backstage role and as a performer.
It’s being said some talents are hesitant to sign deals because of low guaranteed pay, the amount of exclusivity time on the contract and the inability to do other indy work without the permission of Lucha Underground officials.
With regards to pay, some talents have been offered $750 per match, while others, who most would consider top indy names, were only offered $200 per match. |

| As we reported yesterday, former TNA stars The Young Bucks and Frankie Kazarian were offered, but turned down, deals to sign with the new “Lucha Underground” project.
Former WWE stars Ezekiel Jackson, Savannah and Maxine were offered deals, but we have yet to hear whether or not they’ve signed on.
PWInsider.com is reporting former WWE star Evan Bourne and his brother Mike Sydal have both been offered Lucha deals but they’ve opted not to sign.
Other notable names who have been offered deals are John Morrison, Konnan, Hernandez, Ricochet, Joey Ryan, Candace LeRae, Rocky Romero, Scorpio Sky, Matt Cross and Ivelisse Velez.
Former WWE Tough Enough participant Martin Casaus has signed on for the project, and former WWE creative team member Chris “Big Dick Johnson” DeJoseph will be working on production for the series. |
