According to the lastest news from wwe.com, Zack Ryder will NOT be wrestling at Survivor Series. As the Miz would say, really... really. Honestly I call bullshit, not just because Zack Ryder should get a chance (this guy is hilarious to watch), but because I bet by Friday's Smackdown everything will be back as predicted.
In the WWE article, John Morrison is mentioned as the man who will fight Ziggler, but as many know Morrison is scheduled to leave in January (probably to TNA).
Call me psychic, but I bet that by Friday (come Smackdown tapings Zack Ryder WILL be at Survivor Series. Anyone want to put some money on that?
From the video's description: WWE BREAKING NEWS: WWE Possibly Signing Luchador to Be Sin Cara's Tag Team Partner -"According to F4Wonline.com, Mexican star Averno may be brought to WWE television to team with Sin Cara in his rivalry with Hunico and Epico. Earlier this year, Sin Cara was pushing hard for Averno to be brought in. Reports claim that WWE has gone back and forth on deciding if they wanted to use Averno. He took part in tryouts recently when WWE was in Mexico, and it seems that there is a better chance than ever of him being used by WWE." Now, it appears we could be seeing yet another luchador headed to the WWE to help out Sin Cara. source: F4Wonline.com (via WrestleZone.com)

It seems like every day, lucha libre is slowly entering new mediums. Last year we got the Heroes del Ring video game, and it looks like this year luchadores are going to be featured in the new Saints Row video game. I have never played a Saints Row game before, but it looks like this could be interesting. The trailer for the game looks pretty crazy, so who knows maybe I will check it out. From what I've seen so far, it looks like you'll actually be able to fight matches (or at least a match) in the game. There is also a hint at a lucha de apuestas match, but I am not entirely sure, so we will have to wait and see.

In keeping with the wrestling theme, Hulk Hogan will be voicing the luchador character of Angel De LaMuerte (not to be confused with Arkangel de la Muerte- a real luchador). Other voice talents include actress Sasha Grey (The Girlfriend Experience, Entourage) and Daniel Dae Kim (Lost, Hawaii Five-0).
Angel de LaMuerte in the game
I don't really know what luchadores are going to do in the game, but according to the game's website:
The Saints may have owned Stilwater, but Steelport belongs to the Syndicate. As the Saints begin their takeover, nothing bigger stands in their way than Killbane. As a professional wrestler, he dominated, earning the name The Walking Apocalypse after ending the career of Angel De LaMuerte, his former tag-team partner. But the ring wasn’t big enough for Killbane, and he helped create the fiercest gang in the Syndicate, the Luchadores, ‘roided-out wrestlers* with a stranglehold on the Steelport weapons trade. Now, Angel has teamed with the Saints, and together they’ll take on Killbane once and for all, both in the ring and in the streets, in a battle royale that will leave Steelport shaking.
Having never played a Saints Row game I have no idea what most of that means, but it sounds cool.
Check out the game's trailer for more lucha libre video game goodness.
Look for Saints Row: The Third in retailers on November 15th in America and Noverber 18th in Europe for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and OnLive. Until then, keep checking our website for the latest lucha libre news and updates.
*Editors Note: I wonder if Sin Cara is in this game?
