Lucha Libre Maximo Leaving CMLL, Hello AAA

Maximo made the announcement today via his Facebook page that it was “official” that he was leaving CMLL and heading to AAA.

Maximo reports he received a phone call yesterday with a great offer, from a “strong promoter” and admitted he was a bit confused about what decision he should make.

Maximo in the last year and a half had been working more main events including being a headliner in Guadalajara.Maximo early last year had also contemplated leaving CMLL and then backed out and stayed with the promoter.

In early 2010 Máximo was entered in the first ever Parejas Incredibles Nacional tournament, a tournament where CMLL teams up a Tecnico and a Rudo for a tournament where the teams represent the region they trained in. Máximo teamed up with Mr. Niebla, forming a team that was quickly nicknamed La Peste con Amour (“the Love Plague”) born from Mr. Niebla being part of La Peste Negra (“the Black Plague”) and Máximo’s Exótico ring character. In the first round Niebla and Máximo defeated the team of Blue Panther and Misterioso II.

José Christian Alvarado is part of a very large family of professional wrestlers all descendants of Shadito Cruz, most of who use or have used a variation of the name “Brazo” (“Arm”) in their ring name
