In the past year, TNA has reportedly made a legitimate attempt to sign multiple top-tier former WWE Superstars, such as Edge, Alberto El Patron and CM Punk. Apparently the promotion is currently focused on trying to sign one major talent that recently officially parted ways with the company.

According to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, TNA is in the process of making a big play for former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio.

TNA reportedly tried to sign Mysterio just this past week, as both Dixie Carter and John Gaburick spoke with him about the possibility of signing with the company.

According to one source, both TNA executives tried to push the idea that they could get Mysterio’s merchandise into stores and assist him in getting television and film work.

Additionally, Carter and Gaburick gave Mysterio the impression that they would build TNA around him as the company’s long sought after Hispanic star. They reportedly told him that the deal would be a non-exclusive deal, as he would still be allowed to work for other promotions on days that do not conflict with TNA’s schedule.

For what it’s worth, the belief is that Mysterio will still be signing a contract to officially join Lucha Underground in the near future.

I think he's a better fit for Lucha Underground honestly.

i actually disagree a bit, I think he's too big for LU at this point, he would need to be at the level of blue demon, a guy that doesn't fight as much but is there to represent lucha history. I think LU would need to grow more to be at the Rey Level

i don't think he should go to TNA either

I can't figure out how to quote you on my iPhone Cero, but I had to reply before I lost it.

I think he would have to be that way anyway, with as old as he is getting and how many injuries he's gotten. I think a regular schedule is too much for him at this stage in the game.

A good point, and I think LU is the show that would allow him to do this the best while still being on-screen a lot.

Also on the TNA side of things-to reflect a sentiment by BRM from earlier in the week-yeah, because that's what those niggas need to do. You know what? Don't even get me started, because I'll just end up going off on a 5 paragraph essay about all of it. When I actually speak lately, it's usually what I do. I have a knack for it.
