You had to figure it was going to be a Mil Muertes interference finish given the feud between Puma/Mil, but a hell of a match leading up to it

Well the gently caress finish was predictable, but that match was great while it lasted.

I liked that finish. Establishes that Puma could possibly beat Matanza but gives him something else to do.

Since Vampiro compared the Cage/Texano matches to the Summit Series, does that mean Texano will go Bobby Clarke on Cage's ankle? :ohdear:

That was the the most Canadian Vamp's sounded to date.

Do they still do the Spanish commentary? I thought they stopped that after the Unimas deal was up at the end of season one. I never considered that they might still have an SAP track or something.

His delivery of the two "I dunno"s before that cracked me up, too. He sounded like a five year old.

Judging by the posting pace in this thread, it seems that everybody else is having trouble getting into this season too. I'm just not as excited on Wednesdays now and I can't put my finger on why.

It feels like there's a number of things that have started and then kind of petered out. Siniestro de la Muerte ate his teammates and it didn't seem to do much. Pentagon went Dark and still lost. Mil undied for the second (third?) time and still lost.

Right now it seems like we're just waiting to see what finally puts a crack in Matanza. Probably not Sexy Star.

LU had a panel at NYC ComicCon today -- doesn't sound like there was too much in the way of news, although Van Wagenen again said there were plans to do some touring. Looked like they had a really good turnout.

I'll have a write-up of the panel later tonight. But yeah, it was in the biggest panel room and the place was packed. I will say that you're in for some seriously hammy poo poo from Mysterio this Wednesday.

I did get to interview Ivelisse, Marty Elias and Mysterio today. With Elias, it was literally "Here, interview this referee and we're rolling!" But it went well enough.

Kind of funny and awkward moment:

Me: What's it like working with Luis Fernandez-Gil?

Ivelisse: Uh.......

Me: For those of you at home, he plays Dario Cueto.

Ivelisse: OH! Yeah, he's great.

Dorian added to this by talking about the time he was reading scripts for AAA and Lucha Underground and the differences were staggering. Namely because the Lucha Underground script involved the world “teleportation.”

Nice write up. That touring plan is pretty smart - they'll get all of season 4 in the can and then they can do a tour to keep working with the wrestlers and maybe make a little extra cash instead of taping an extra season back to back like they did with 2 and 3. They need to let the show catch up to the tapings a bit at some point.
