AAA held a press conference today along with Victoria Cerveza to officially announce the teams and rules for the Lucha Libre World Cup on 5/24. The rules are a single elimination tournament with a 15:00 time limit where if there is a draw there will be an overtime. There will also be a judging panel consisting of Canek & Los Hermanos Dinamita (Cien Caras & Mascara Ano Dos Mil) with them deciding the best match and best luchador. There will also be an English and Spanish iPPV with Matt Striker & Vampiro doing the English announcing.
