Ash vs Evil Dead is pretty good. It actually kinda-sorta doesn't take AoD as canon?

That was one of the smoothest three-way matches I think I've seen yet. Everyone was exactly where they needed to be, when they needed to be there. Fun stuff.

Rey really sold that knee hit though, I actually felt super bad :ohdear:

It was a great bit of psychology, knowing Rey's history of bad knees. Also a perfect way for Chavo to get legit heel heat with this smark-rear end crowd that cheers everybody.

I agree with what other people have said in the thread re: the crowd, them cheering for just about everyone works in universe since Dario built LU as a temple to violence and they're his believers. As long as the action is good of course they'll cheer regardless of whether it's a heel or a face.

Yeah, I don't mean to say that as a bad thing. Fans who cheer the rudos is a big thing in lucha libre, that's part of its charm. Hell, Pentagon is the most over dude because he's a badass rudo. Even Worldwide Underground gets cheered because they're so good at being rudos who are also great wrestlers.

But sometimes, you just need an unapologetic rear end in a top hat for the crowd to mercilessly poo poo on, and God bless Chavo for stepping up to the plate and soaking in those boos. He deserved them.

Fair enough, I didn't pick up on what you meant. At this point of his career I have a hell of a lot of respect for Chavo, he's involved in the backroom but he doesn't use that to try and get himself over. Instead he knows he lacks the charisma to be like Eddie and instead plays to his strengths by being a weasely scheming coward heel whose schemes eventually backfire on him to the satisfaction of the crowd.

You should go into the create a wrestler mode on Legends of Wrestling 2. Years ago, my friend and I watched the drop toe hold animation on repeat for about 15 minutes straight while making "Ack!", "Wuuurghhh!", "Aiieeee!", and other silly exclamations of pain.

The original idea for Matanza was ... Hernandez? :psyduck:

Meltzer posted:

Van Wagenen also admitted that Jeff Cobb was not the original person to play Matanza Cueto. The original person was Hernandez, but things fell apart and he quit the promotion. Van Wagenen said that Christopher DeJoseph came up with the idea of Cobb playing the role and that Hernandez was then brought in to play himself. Timing wise, that doesn’t sound right, as Hernandez was being used as Hernandez before Cobb had even signed. And Hernandez quit the company before Cobb was chosen to be Matanza, and I’d always been told Hernandez was the original Matanza. Van Wagenen talked about doing a lot more character merchandise.

I think the news that Vamp was teasing was just a side project that didn't come to fruition. They announced the Samurai TV stuff a little while ago, I don't think that's huge news but it's always great to see them getting additional distribution in other countries.

Benne posted:

They ended up with a huge upgrade on that with Cobb! They also said awhile back that the original plan for Mil Muertes was going to be a masked Martin Caucas (now Marty the Moth), until they picked Ricky Banderas instead. It's interesting in that a lot of times they go at this from a reversed perspective then most wrestling promotions. It's more of a TV thing of "We want this character, who will we have play it" rather than "we have this wrestler, how do we gimmick him up?"
