AAA expands into the US. Good for the business?

[Stopspot]

AAA announced today via press release that they have signed a new deal with FactoryMade Ventures in order to expand their intellectual property into the US and international territories. The deal will see the two reimagine, operate and expand AAA into a general audience entertainment brand in the United States and select international territories.

FactoryMade CEO John Fogelman and Co-CEO Cristina Patwa said in a joint statement, "We are thrilled to be partnering with the Roldan Pena family and Antonio to take the classic Lucha Libre AAA experience from household name in the Latino community to a dynamic, general audience entertainment brand in the U.S."

The venture will focus on expanding AAA's presence in the US first through live events, PPV, scripted and non-scripted series, licensing and merchandise.

So yeah, is this good or bad for the business in America? It's not like this is some kind of bush league lucha fed trying to take a slice of the cake, rather arguably the biggest promotion in Mexico who is also working a more Americanized style compared to CMLL. Thoughts on AAA's expansion into the US (Zeb Coulter must be furious by the way.)

I like the idea but I can't see them succeeding, on paper luchas can draw but the style of show will have to be so Americanized it'll lose it's roots if that makes sense.

Of course its good. Curious to see where they're get in US.

One would assume starting with Latino heavy areas like Texas, New Mexico and California and then working from there. That's still 3 big states to work in.
