Aro Lucha to Tape a Full Season Later This Year

Aro Lucha announced that they’ll be taping an entire season of episodes “later this year.” Aro Lucha is a new lucha libre company that’s owned by Aroluxe, which is the former production company for TNA before they were bought by Anthem. Konnan is also the head writer of the company and Vince Russo was brought on as a “script consultant” for their pilot show, which was taped in December.

The pilot featured names like Rey Mysterio and John Hennigan.

Here’s their press release:

Aro Lucha Announces Television Tapings for Season 1 of “ARO LUCHA”

Season 1 of Aro Lucha to be filmed later this year.

NASHVILLE, TENN. FEBRUARY 26, 2018 – Arolucha, Inc., the United States leading Lucha Libre Sports Entertainment Company, announced today that they will be filming Season 1 of their scripted television series by the same name, ARO LUCHA, later this year.

“We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished this year. The product has had an overwhelmingly positive response, both the scripted show and live events. We’re excited to begin filming, our fans are asking for content”, said Jason Brown CEO of Aro Lucha.

Aro Lucha will film in Nashville TN, home to various production facilities such as Sky Way and Numynd Studios, Latin American and Hispanic destinations such as Plaza Mariachi, and the newly announced MLS expansion team, the Nashville Soccer Club. Nashville boasts a vibrant and growing Hispanic and Immigrant population, with the Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and other sources citing the overall Hispanic/Latino population of Nashville at approximately 11 to 12% of total overall population.

Aro Lucha’s scripted Lucha Libre series will be written by Charles “Konnan” Ashenoff, but a variety of lucha based content is in development outside of the traditional Aro Lucha series. A scripted comedy about two average “gringos” who must go to lucha school to win the heart of a Latino love interest will film simultaneously alongside Season 1 of Aro Lucha later this year.

“We have a lot of things planned for the Lucha Libre space and filming both shows simultaneously allows us to take advantage of some real efficiencies”, said Brown. “You’re going to have to see the guys who play the leads in the comedy, it’s Nacho Libre meets Dodgeball, we haven’t been this excited for a project in a long time.”
