WWF Super Astros
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WWF Super Astros was a program that showed mostly wrestlers of foreign descent wrestle in the WWF that aired from 1998 to 1999 and was mainly used as a vehicle to promote the WWF in Latin American countries. It was hosted by Carlos Cabrera and Hugo Savinovich, who were the Spanish announce team. Interviews were handled by Maria Felipe. The Program had a stable of Mexican wrestlers that competed in AAA and CMLL and from other promotions around the world such as El Hijo Del Santo, Negro Casas. Also, the WWF would have their superstars like Funaki and TAKA Michinoku, Scott Taylor and others, where they would lose their matches most of the time. Storylines were created within the program only with the Mexican stars. They would compete against the stable in cruiserweight style matches and in AAA and CMLL style matches (mostly tag team and 6 man tag). This show was made to compete with WCW and their popularity with the cruiserweight division. The program lasted a year and a half with its final show ending in September 5, 1999.
