Post shared by New Sexy Star regarding her departure

A few weeks ago Latin Lover was talking on his podcast, saying that Image and Physique were important, talking about the case of luchadoras specifically. Today, leaving AAA is one of the luchadoras with the best physique, good image, young and above all a good wrestler, with a character that she adopted very well and played in her own way, without arguments, without controversy, without being involved in gossip.
It's barely understandable why they let go of a luchadora with such abilities, regardless of whether she chose to or worse, the company was the one who decided it. And when you have a valuable employee, you don't let them go just like that, whatever the reasons may be.
AAA loses most by not betting towards the future with Sexy Star. In 5 years with the character they did nothing with her, despite her good matches. They could have made her Mixed Tag Team Champion, Reina de Reinas, or have an important feud... but NO.
The thing that gives satisfaction is that now-Gatubela (Sexy Star)* has everything to gain. She has a whole path to achieving victory, and surely they are going to bang their heads when they see her in the big leagues...
And mind you, Latin Lover is not the main culprit, it's just that it's striking that everything he said he believed was important as qualities for a luchadora, she had them... Then NOTHING is understood anymore.
AAA from Guatemala to Guatepeor**

*La Hija de Gatubela was Sexy Star's indy character which she is going back to.
**Untranslatable pun; mala=bad, peor=worse

Good for her, she's crazy talented and never could get out of "is that the sexy star from Lucha Underground" stigma anyway

"10 worst AAA character changes" according to this video are
10. El Brazo to La Braza (exotico character)
9. Samuray del Sol (Kalisto) to Octagon Jr.
8. Masakre to Dracula / Yeti / Coco Rosa
7. Oscar Sevilla to El Angel
6. Mascara Sagrada 2 / Mascara Divina to El Alebrije 2
5. Ricky Marvin to Bengala
4. Nautilius to Black Abyss
3. Flamita to Octagon Jr.
2. Super Nova to Bengala
1. El Zorro to La Parka Negra

My main takeaway is that this dude does NOT like the Octagon Jr. characters

I'm actually finding a ton of these list format lucha videos, they're interesting



"10 terrifying luchadores who failed in AAA"
10. Dracula (another video where we rag on the shit gimmicks Masakre got in the mid-90s)
9. Yeti (see above)
8. Aullido (some indy shitter that got given a werewolf character, it's not known where he went after)
7. Manicomio (a mental patient character, he had a good look and played his character decently then vanished)
6. El Duende / Duende Azul (Green Goblin clone who suddenly got two friends so he could work trios)
5. Los Espantapajaros (scarecrows. These guys used to be called Los Warriors and were basically the Lucha Village People. There's the gladiator, the Saturday Night Fever, and the M. Bison! The classics!)
LosWarriors.jpg
4. Ghefar (immobile heavyweight that was meant to be a rival of Gronda and was every bit as bad)
3. La Calaca (evil Parka before there was La Parka Negra. This guy also played Mascara Maligna, and they unmasked him in Monterrey, where he was a well-known local star who worked unmasked, so people felt cheated)
2. Monsther and Chucky (Monsther was lucha odd-job man Hombre Bala, and Chucky was Chucky, his mini companion. They were later replaced by Hombre Bala's son and a slightly taller mini)
1. Karis la Momia (the second La Parka, the one who died, played this character before he was La Parka. His son worked as Karis la Momia Jr. and recently left AAA after refusing an opportunity to work as a replacement Parka)

10 characters that quickly failed in AAA
10. Televisa Deportes (official character of the TV channel AAA was on, played by the man who would become Mascara Divina. Too silly)
9. Quasimodo (UWA legend Scorpio transformed into the Hunchback of Notre Dame and no dimes were drawn)
8. El Santo Negro (Pena loved creating evil counterparts but creating an evil Santo was sacrilege. After Hijo del Santo objected, the man behind the mask became the original Pentagon before his retirement)
7. Black Demon (this shit again, Pena? He was an evil Blue Demon Jr. and it flopped so hard it got taken off TV and relegated to house shows. The man himself was a.k.a. Mr. Jack, Corsario Negro, Devastador, and KU KLUX KLAN holy shit)
6. Mascara Maligna (evil Mascara Sagrada, I mentioned him above. The man most often wrestled as El Sanguinario and sadly died less than a month later)
5. Heavy Dracula (they tried to turn this guy into a ladies' favourite babyface like Vampiro had been, but with frilly sleeves. Later he became Cuervo of the Dark Family, to a lot more success)
4. Luzbel (another rival to Gronda, who sucked. He later became the second Gronda after the first disappeared)
3. Uro Rocker (the Infierno Rockers were a bunch of guys with heavy metal gimmicks; one of them went on to be Black Taurus/Beast Mortos. This one was the heavyweight of them, didn't fit in, and disappeared soon outside of prerequisite staredowns with Murder Clown)
2. Los Vipers 2.0 (Black Abyss was a replacement for Abismo Negro, so he brought in a bunch of replacement Vipers. None of them lasted. Sadly the replacement Histeria died recently)
1. Animal (what the fuck was this dude? He showed up in a major match at one TripleMania - supposedly the biggest night in AAA - and never again. Here's a lineup for context: La Parka / Latin Lover / El Zorro / Animal vs. Sabu / Rikishi / Ron Killings / Headhunter A. One of these things is not like the others... He was just a random indie shitter that got one payday, clearly a replacement for an outsider that pulled out last minute)
