for those of you who also didn't know what this means, he is referring to the producer (mark burnett) who also produced celebrity apprentice. looks like this show has a whole lot to resolve and until it does so i am organizing a boycott of this nefarious product.
So in 10 years time, we can look forward to President Cueto?

No, that won't work, he's not American. President Mundo?

From what I heard Steve Pain was a "pain" to work with and rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, so he was fired pretty quickly

They're both pretty good if not blow-you-away amazing.

Steve Pain has some experience working in AAA and has done a number of matches with guys like Aerostar and Fenix which makes him a natural choice for a faction going up against Drago and friends. Here's a little spot from one of those matches: https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/40c4do/steve_pain_with_a_crazy_backstabber_to_aerostar/

Judas Devlin aka Austin Matelson is a pretty big guy -- like 6'5" which isn't giant by WWE standards but kind of makes him tower over everyone in LU. He was briefly in the news back when he was in NXT and wrote a detailed email to management about what an abusive shithead Bill DeMott was, which eventually leaked.

I haven't heard that about him. Not saying it's false, it could be true for all I know, but I haven't seen that anywhere.

It definitely feels like they planned on making Night Claw a real thing, but then the whole drama happened with Flamita and Octagon and he decided to go back to Dragon Gate, so they kinda had to drop it.

I do hope someone takes up the Night Claw mask. It was an adorable mask. :3:

IIRC they pushed Night Claw as being from the Jaguar tribe, and if they're serious about this Seven Tribes thing going anywhere, then ... yeah, they'll have to find someone to fill that spot.

Who do they have representing the tribes, anyway? We've got, from my memory:

Puma (Prince Puma)
Moth (Marty and Mariposa)
Snake (Kobra Moon and her army of lizards)
Rabbit (Paul London and his band of Molly addicts)
Eagle (Dragon Azteca Jr.)
Jaguar (Night Claw, but maybe not since he left? This is up in the air.)
Phoenix (Fenix), I think? Can't remember if this was established as a tribe.


OK, so I'm clearly struggling. Someone did a big effortpost at one point, breaking down the tribes, can anyone link that to help me out?

Striker somehow managed to awkwardly wedge in two references at once when PJ hit the Styles Clash. "He tried to break her faith, but styles will clash!" (Styles Clash was also Michelle McCool's Faithbreaker).

I wonder if he cries himself to sleep every night knowing he will never, ever be as great as William Regal's neverending torrent of Smiths references.

LAST WEEK:
Cage and The Mack won their respective first round matches to continue in the Battle of the Bulls tournament
Kobra Moon has REAL SNAKE PEOPLE as generals
Sexy Star beat the Darewolf to win a shot at Mundo's Lucha Underground Championship in a Steel Cage (but next week, not this week)

THIS WEEK:
Two more four-way first round Battle of the Bulls matches!
Kobra Moon is facing Drago and probably bringing some snake people

BONUS GUIDE TO SNAKE PEOPLE:
Kobra Moon: yasssssssssssss ssssssslay queen
LORD PINDAR: The shorter and wider of the snake people, named after a penis. The crowd refers to him as Sleestak since no one listens to new names
Vipero? Vibero?: The taller and thinner of the snake people, named after a vibrator. The crowd refers to him as Luchasaurus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvsdI4FPWN8
Drago: Mister Fancy Pants who thinks he is too good to be a snake people because he's a dragon and not named after any form of penis
Donald Trump: Reptilian Overlord
