- Comment: Created on behalf of an IP request at WT:DYK, per this thread on June 9. This article was moved from Draft space on June 3, 2016. I personally don't know enough about wrestling to answer any questions that might arise from this. Hopefully, the IP who made this request will follow this nomination template. I am donating one of my past DYK reviews as a QPQ here. — Maile (talk) 13:35, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

This article is new enough and plenty long enough. As someone with an interest in Mexican broadcasting and several DYKs on the topic, the fact that Azteca created a rival promotion in order to get at Televisa is fascinating. Spot checks reveal no close paraphrasing. I'd recommend the main hook or ALT2. The La Jornada article goes to great pains to point out the similarities between Promo Azteca and what Televisa was airing at the time. The sources cited at the main hook are offline, and ALT2's source is some wrestling site (where I get a little confused on reliability). Raymie (t • c) 05:15, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
