What does this tell us? Sports and Entertainment are BIG BUSINESS.\u0026nbsp;ARO LUCHA aims to capitalize on this opportunity by targeting an underserved, yet explosively growing market globally and in the United States: The Latino and Hispanic Market.\u0026nbsp;Lucha Libre is to the Latino and Hispanic Market, what Baseball is to the United States...a National\u0026nbsp;Treasure that sees not only mom and dad attend, but kids, and grandparents...it's a 3 generation draw which means the opportunities are endless and WITH YOU,\u0026nbsp;WE WANT OUR PIECE OF THE PIE!WHAT WE DOOur team has created over 300 hours of network television and over 100 episodes of professional wrestling, so we know a thing or two about live production. With team members who have wrestled for the WWE and produced countless live wrestling productions, we're equipped to handle the heavy lifting.\u0026nbsp;Aro\u0026nbsp;Lucha has produced multiple live shows over our existence with thousands of people attending our live events. Our goal is to create a television program, similar to the WWE's Raw and Smackdown, but targeted to our demographic. Lucha Libre is fun, high flying and exciting...with vibrant colors and masks...it's the perfect entertainment for young and old!...BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS!Aro Lucha is moving deeper into the market, similar to major studios like\u0026nbsp;Disney and Pixar, we've partnered with industry titans to create an animated companion show for Aro Lucha. Imagine kids on their phones watching YouTube and devouring our animated content, AND\u0026nbsp;THEN\u0026nbsp;being able to come see their favorite characters LIVE at their local coliseum!We Introduce: The Titans (Meet The Team)These projects might ring a bell? Avatar, Spider Man, Men In Black, Lucha Underground, Transformers, Magic the Gathering...These are all projects that Jeff Gomez and Mark Pensavalle of StarLight Runner touched and worked on.\u0026nbsp;Starlight Runner specializes in the expansion of entertainment properties into highly successful, multi-platform communications and international campaigns.\u0026nbsp;Starlight Runner has partnered with us to do the same for the AroLucha Universe!Tom Bancroft...Former Disney Animator and Founder of Pencilish Animation StudiosPencilish Animation Studios, our animation partners, led by Tom Bancroft, is made up of former Disney, Sony Pictures, and Warner\u0026nbsp;Brothers Legends. Tom Bancroft has worked on some of the most popular and profitable animated features of all time including The Lion King, Pocahontas, and Mulan.\u0026nbsp;Need a taste! Here is the opening sequence to our animated series!WHY WE BELIEVE WE WILL SUCCEED!On of the reasons we believe the WWE was so successful is that they OWNE THIER IP. Just like Disney owns Frozen, Elsa, Anna, and Olof, our goal is to create unique characters that We, YOU, own together so that we can monetize them in a multitude of ways.\u0026nbsp;AroLucha is more than just a Sports and Entertainment Company...Imagine a\u0026nbsp;Global Target Audience with a Domestic Buying Power of $1.9\u0026nbsp;Trillion Dollars, who have made up approximately 50% of the recent US Population Growth according to a recent report by Nielsen. We aim to be the heartbeat and leader of entertainment of this kind to our market.HOW WE INTEND MAKE MONEY WITH ITThere are multiple potential revenue streams in our model, including Television Programming Licensing, Live Event Tickets Sales, Character and Merchandise Licensing, Animation\u0026nbsp;Show Licensing, Advertising and Marketing Revenue, Sponsorships, and more but\u0026nbsp;THE REAL\u0026nbsp;MONEY in animation comes from all the ancillary licensing and merchandising deals that can be made in areas like publishing, video games, and more from our Characters and Intellectual Property that WE OWN...Together with YOU!!!\u0026nbsp;See the chart below, note how much of the profits come from the franchises' merchandising (yellow).HEAR FROM THE FOUNDERS AND THE TEAM ABOUT THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!CLICK THE\u0026nbsp;INVEST NOW BUTTON AND INVEST BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!!!","location":"Franklin, TN","website":"https://www.arolucha.com/","total_amount_raised":433751,"total_investors":887,"is_funded":true,"is_active":true,"quality_score":3,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/arolucha","https://www.arolucha.com/"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/22467/xxl_cropped_wefunder_thumbnail__1_.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/22467/large_cropped_AroLucha_Logo.jpg","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/22467/standard_cropped_wefunder_thumbnail__1_.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/22467/standard_cropped_wefunder_thumbnail__1_.jpg","profile_video_url":"https://wefunder.wistia.com/medias/q257epvlyn"},"links":{"company_url":"https://www.arolucha.com/","twitter_url":"https://twitter.com/arolucha","facebook_url":"https://www.facebook.com/AroLucha/","instagram_url":"https://www.instagram.com/arolucha/?hl=en","youtube_url":"https://www.youtube.com/c/arolucha"},"highlights":[],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"WWE \u0026amp; UFC just combined to create a Sports \u0026amp; Entertainment Company Valued at $21.4 Billion Dollars"},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"Target Market with over $1.9 Trillion Dollars in Buying Power."},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"Rey Mysterio owns a small percentage of our company."},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Market that LOVES our product - Thousands of Attendees at Our Live Events."},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"Real Opportunity to Gain Market Share in a Growing Market with Potential for Return"},{"index":6,"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"Amazing Partners: Starlight Runner= Avatar Story World Creation, Pencilish= Former Disney Animators"},{"index":7,"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"Animation Addition Targets a $259 Billion Dollar Industry"}],"team":[{"id":235920,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:235920","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:147834","role":"founder","name":"Jason Brown","title":"Board Member","bio":"Advisory Board Member for Pencilish Animation Studios, Movie Producer, and Community Builder.

This is an investment in a idea (maybe a good one) and a \"trust me, we've got the right people involved.\" Pencilish partnering with this project ads credibility, but I'm still at a lost to understand the details of that partnership. Also, the friends invest first timeline was very rushed for those of us Pencilish investors who are interested, but have more questions. I'd really like to have a Q\u0026amp;A with Jason Brown to better understand this and would like to see the friends invest first deadline pushed out until that is done. If we look at the median projected net profits of $30k per month and apply a 4.2 multiple to that then this company should be valued at $1.5M. Subtract the debt and the valuation should be $1.2M. The low end net profit estimate of $20k per month yields a valuation of only $700k. Investors should err on the conservative side.

I will give you my reply. First, SS tattoos were considered disgraceful 25 years ago. So to say they \" didn't know\" is really a stretch. And, let's really be frank here. Who would even consider an SS tattoo knowing what it represents? Nobody can say \"I didn't know\" because it is a specific tattoo and a specific reason to get it. You are stretching things to try to explain this away because Nikita Koloff legally changed his name. If they said \"we are not bikers but we got tattoos for the gimmick\" that would be a fair comparison. But, to get an SS tattoo, knowing what it is (and it meant that 25 years ago as well as today), is something that can not go without questions. Honestly Jason, instead of explaining it away, it would have been very respectful for the guys to just say something like \" young , dumb, wanted to be bad ass, we thought white power was cool... we learned, grew, came to God, built families, and are changed men. This is the evidence of our change, Please forgive us and let's make a great company\". That would look really good and I would be on board with people who stand up like that. You trying to rationalize it through weak narratives. I also would like you to address the second part which likely would have more impact on the financial viability of this company. Are you bringing in Vince Russo? To have a man who has a documented history of being unfavorable to Hispanic wrestlers and to Lucha style of wrestling, could mean the product he writes or supervises will be very poor and turn off your fans. What do you think?

We feel that merchandise and licensing will be a very large portion of our future revenue streams. It’s easy to see that there is a lot of wrestling related merchandise and gear that is being sold every day, so we see this is a great opportunity. In answer to your question, two of our founders are also involved in a merchandise company that produces merchandise and apparel for some very large clients like Carrie Underwood, The Nashville Predators, and the Phoenix Suns. So, while we have a close relationship with a company that has a proven track record of being able to deliver in this arena, we also understand that great ideas and relationships can come from anywhere—internally, from our vendors, investors, and fans. The opportunities for individuals with products that they feel may be suited for our brand is to present them to us, and if they fit our model and are great opportunities then we are open to working with them. We currently do not have an in house licensing person but we are dedicated to creating the strongest team that we can in order to make Aro Lucha successful.","author_name":"Jason Brown","votes":1,"created_at":"2018-03-30T16:21:54Z"}]},{"id":19018,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:19018","question":"Hi, why do two of your key employees (Ron and Don Harris) have SS tattoos, and why did you hire Vince Russo, a man who has said Americans don't want to see lucha, as a script supervisor?","author_name":"Trevor Dame","votes":2,"created_at":"2018-03-19T19:55:02Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/arolucha#question-19018","answers":[]},{"id":330572,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:330572","question":"what happened to this?
