More On: Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring
One of the more colorful events at E3 I happened to miss last week was a wrestling match between Dr. Wagner Jr. and El Elegido on the show floor. Wagner claimed victory and the cover athlete spot for the Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring game, which is coming to all major platforms later this year. I've never been a huge fan of Mexican wrestling or the WWE stuff we have here in America, but it is nice to see some variety in a genre dominated by the Smackdown titles from the past few years.

DR. WAGNER JR. CROWNED E3 2010 LUCHA HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION- FEATURED ON COVER OF LUCHA LIBRE AAA: HEROES DEL RING





REDWOOD CITY, CA - June 17, 2010 – Slang, in celebration of their upcoming Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring, announced today that professional Luchador Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated arch-rival La Parka, his blood brother Silver King and The Chosen One, El Elegido in a grueling match on the show floor at the 2010 E3 Expo. Known for his mixture of powerful moves, commanding stage presence and limber gymnastic ability, Dr. Wagner’s hard fought victory also garnered him the highly coveted role as Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring’s first ever cover athlete.



As the first iteration in the Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring franchise, Dr. Wagner’s menacing presence is symbolic of the game’s edgy fun that provides gamers with a fun introduction to the Mexican sport of ‘Lucha Libre’ style wrestling. Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring provides fans an entertaining pick-up and play gaming experience that has authentic Lucha Libre action mixed with the sport’s rich tradition, highly-acrobatic and fast-paced fighting and innovative gameplay features.
