PWInsider reports the identity of the new character Andromeda is NOT Rob Terry, but in fact it is Mexican Wrestler Cassandro.
Cassandro worked a dark match at the TNA tapings a few weeks back and is expected to appear at this week’s tapings. Cassandro was trained by Rey Mysterio Sr – the uncle of the current WWE star – and has fought for both Mexico’s big wrestling federations, AAA and CMLL. The Sun’s UK did an interview with Cassandro last December.
Cassandro told The Sun: “I am what’s known in Mexico as an Exotico – a gay man who wrestles in drag.
“Exoticos have been in Mexican wrestling for a long time, since the 1950s, but I gave them a new touch.
“I brought the pantyhose, the bathing suits, the feathers, the rhinestones and the glitter – all the glamour.
“I made it more fun for the people and they responded by taking me into their arms and under their wings.
“The fans love it!”
