Keelan
New NXT Recruit Oscar Vasquez

- WWE’s website recently spoke with luchador Oscar Vasquez who has signed a developmental deal. The 6ft 1, 210lb Mexican says the only trouble he is having is with the language barrier rather than the in-ring work.

“It hasn’t been hard. I’m taking it day by day, because I know I’ve been doing lucha libre for 15 years. I can do American wrestling but I don’t know the names of the moves. I’m trying to adjust. I didn’t know what an arm drag is, because in Mexico we call it something else. I’m trying to adjust to that. I can do everything, but I don’t know the names yet. [Laughs]”

- According to the Wrestling Observer Alberto El Patron (Alberto Del Rio) is guaranteed $500,000 a year working for Lucha Underground. However most of the talent are paid per match and are not making that much money.

- Terry Funk is said to have made a strong recovery following a bout of viral pneumonia. The WWE Hall of Famer had to be pulled from events in Japan the other week, but will be making his first post-recovery appearance on June 11th for a fundraiser in Florida.
