Update on The Undertaker’s role at AAA Guerra de Titanes
The Undertaker played a significant role in AAA’s show in Guadalajara last week.
In September, Dave Meltzer wrote in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that AAA’s creative team consists of Jeremy Borash, The Undertaker, Dorian Roldan, and Konnan, with Paul “Triple H” Levesque in charge.
In the most recent edition of the newsletter, Meltzer writes that Borash and Taker booked AAA Guerra de Titanes on December 20:
“The booking of the show was handled by Jeremy Borash and Undertaker. They worked with Konnan and Dorian Roldan and went through them to make sure the ideas worked based on AAA history and Mexican pro wrestling culture.”
Meltzer praised the show overall, calling it better than a typical Friday night show for CMLL.
“To me, it was better than most Friday nights at Arena Mexico because while Arena Mexico has had a few main events better, this was hot from the opener to the main event and had great wrestling up and down the show.”
The show sold out a day in advance with over 13,000 tickets distributed for what is typically a walk-up crowd.
Konnan also addressed what Taker brings to the AAA creative team during an episode of his podcast in September, saying:
“Undertaker’s brilliant. I don’t think they would have put him in that position (otherwise). When you sit down and talk to him, he knows his stuff. I’ve been around enough bookers to know who knows their s–t and who doesn’t.”
“What Undertaker brings to the game is he knows what gets heat, what works, what can get somebody over, and what are good finishes. That’s his genius.”
Also at AAA Guerra de Titanes, the promotion announced its next big event will be Rey de Reyes in Puebla on March 14 at the Auditorio GNP Seguros.
