When the Authority finally goes away for real I want Dario as the new authority figure and for them to change nothing about him. Yelling everything, making belts out of aztec gold, all of it.

It would also be super progressive to have a Latino guy in charge. Never happened in a U.S. promotion since they started using authority figures, and the guy has charisma.

I would also like this to have no build up or be mentioned in any way, he just wanders in with briefcases full of cash and starts rambling in the ring about the mythical gold from the 7 Lost Aztec Tribes

Armando Estrada was GM of WWECW for a hot minute, wasn't he?

Edit: After a wikipedia glance, I am now utterly confused as to Armando's actual background and withdraw the question.

I wish they'd bring back Armando as a manager. Hell, put him with Itami when you call Itami up, sell him as Armando's new pain machine.

It really feels like the show is run by TV people who understand traditional TV storytelling but not wrestling booking. I get that they're trying to show growth with Puma by having him start out losing a bunch but that doesn't work if you're trying to position him as your top guy in a wrestling promotion.

It's miles ahead of WWE booking and writing, and it's improving.

I like the fact Sexy Star made it to the final four too.

Well, IMDB lists "Jack and Jill" as a career highlight for him. I haven't seen that movie, but I'm now assuming it's about Adam Sandler and Adam Sandler's twin sister competing in some kind of secret fighting tournament.

What I'm trying to say is, he should definitely stay in wrestling.

Dario Cueto, that is. Not sure about Sandler.

Sandler would do amazing in WWE creative.

Is it true that Aerostar is coming to LU? I haven't really kept up with it like I should have, but an English commentary show with Puma, Cage, and Aerostar sounds too good to be true.

I haven't been watching lately but I really liked the first couple shows and Mark Burnett's a very impressive name by the standards of people who get involved in wrestling. It's an interesting project, it's just hard when you realize you have like seven hours of backlog and it's a show that really demands your attention (unlike Raw, where I'm here and on skype and usually cooking at the same time)

Agree 100%. I love so much that the backstage segments look like telemundo soap opera. That plus the ghetto underground vibe of the taping and crowd and the loving great in-ring work, it's all amazing.

They film these in LA, I may have to go to the next batch of tapings.

El Rey itself is a hilarious network since aside from Lucha Underground, as far as I can tell all it shows is old martial arts flicks, lovely grindhouse movies, and re-runs of Miami Vice. It's perfect.

I think ADR is a great addition, but I think they're doing a great job of building their own stars right now. People are really getting into Puma and JoMo as the top 2 faces.

the people who go to the tapings are into it, but they're not going to attract many new viewers without recognizable faces.

LU has two great top faces with Morrison and Puma, but Big Ryck wasn't really doing it for me as a top heel, and Mil Muertes didn't really seem like he was it to me either. Del Rio coming in as Dario Cueto's rich rear end in a top hat friend seems like it might be exactly what they need.

I only watched the main from the last episode but I heard they established Brian Cage (or just Cage on this show, I guess) as a monster heel right away.
