That match was awesome!

Afterwards they had a dance party in the ring, too, but it was a little too silly to make it to air.

Cool fact: throughout the whole match when Rey wasn't in the ring he was leading cheers for Azteca and Puma. It was cool how hard he wanted to help Azteca get over.

It's cool how Rey is a legit legend and he seems to be all about putting over everyone else in LU.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are some talent upset with Lucha Underground management and creative team. The feeling from some talent is that the creative team and management don’t understand the physical punishment involved in the style. Many love working for the company, especially the Mexican talent because they are making more money, but the feeling is that they are asked to do too much for one day or weekend. There are taping where the wrestlers have had to do two physically hard matches on the same tapings, less than two hours apart. Talent feels that the creative simply does not understand the physical demands that are being asked of the wrestlers.

A bunch of dirtsheets were all upset about a spoiler regarding something that happens in season 3 and then it actually turned out not to be that big of a deal. Plus they are talking about how Puma is going to the WWE (which is actually likely) and I guess the thing that Chinston quoted. Oh and of course that LU is losing money, etc, and predicting its demise which everyone has been doing since like mid-season one.

I was actually worried about this, LU has an awful unique taping schedule, I was kinda thinking that it might be in their best interests to start spacing out season tapings a little more.

Nehru the Damaja

You could see it in the episode after Aztec Warfare, Matanza was pretty clearly tired. Considering the taping schedule it seems like a pretty short break to go from throwing 8 eight dudes around like pizzas to doing the same for a ninth.

This week's was hype as gently caress holy poo poo. I haven't seen Daga before but I'm getting like hella Katsuyori Shibata vibes off him. Tell me his poo poo in Mexico does the same thing.

Also wondering if they'll ever pay off Argenis just always being able to defeat PJ Black on any day of the week. (Argenis means silver.)

Thoughts on this week's episode:

Killshot's remake is really nice, but I don't know if I want Striker handling a PTSD war vet story.

It's really a shame to put Azteka Jr's poor acting next to Mysterio's really good work

Also, same with Cueto and Daga

that Trios match. I assume we won't be seeing Mysterio in singles competition.

O really really really want Dario to have been serious about why he keeps his brother locked up.

Ayo I've been having a recurring Lucha Underground dream where Cage has been bringing a huge truck tire to the ring and treating it like a tag partner. Last night he was in a trios match with King Cuerno and the tire, and Striker was apparently obsessed with the tire because his commentary for the match consisted entirely of listing off makes and models of trucks in a really excited voice.

When I woke up and realized what'd just happened, I couldn't stop laughing because it was the most Matt Striker thing ever.

Yeah like, it feels at first like a goofy dream logic idea that wouldn't work except maaaybe in something like Chikara, but I could totally see Cage boasting that he's such a machine that he doesn't need a tag partner and wrestling a handicap match with a tire or a hunk of scrap metal in his corner

If you had an inanimate object as a tag partner, would it still be a foreign object?

I kind of really want to see Cage just hurl a gigantic tire at his opponents.

His commentary was more along the lines of "Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150 Nissan Titan-" [Cage hits a big spot] "OHHH!! TOYOTA TUUUUUNDRA!!!"
