Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Yeah, given Fenix quitting a few months back, it's no surprise. The question will be if that means anything in terms of LU, it puts him in the pile with Sexy Star, Fenix, and Jack Evans. They still used Sexy last year after she was already on the outs with AAA, and the producers have said "we aren't AAA" when asked if leaving AAA means anything for LU status. I imagine the producers will certainly push to keep using him. Assuming he wants that, but like Fenix it's been a good springboard for him in the US and it's a solid paycheck. But on the other Dorian just got appointed general manager of the LLC, so he may have more power to nix that if he's holding a grudge about it.

I guess we'll see if it means anything when push comes to shove...in like 9 months.

Unquestionably two of the best episodes. The original Aztec Warfare is what first got me into the show! So good.

E: It's always funny when they bring in WWE "big guys" and they look like 8 feet tall when going against the tiny luchadores. Even Johnny towers over most of these guys, and he was considered small by WWE standards.

Grave Consequences 1 was one of the first matches I showed my girlfriend. She did not appreciate all the blood. (In my defense, it was my first time watching that match and I figured it'd just be really good due to the buildup)

No source yet aside from MLW. But Melissa Santos said on a live broadcast recently that a Netflix deal was very close and should be finalized soon, and Van Wagenen also said last week that big announcements were coming soon and then "no commented" when they asked him if that meant Netflix, so this all lines up with what we've been hearing.

The MLW show also said that it may also reach some areas of South America as well as NA, and that while it'll start with the previous two seasons, it's a situation where they could keep adding more onto it like a lot of still-active TV shows do.

If that deal is inked, it's great news for Season 4 budgeting.

I don't know if this means anything but Season 2 of Lucha Underground was added to Amazon's VOD store.

That's new as far as I know! Maybe they were going to drop that info at the same time as the Netflix deal and Amazon jumped the gun a little?

ANYWAY aside from LU suddenly being available on all sorts of stuff, tonight on the re-runs we got the end of the Trios Tourney (possibly my favorite moment from S1) and a deathmatch!

(Edit): I like that the Amazon URL starts with "Phoenix-Dragon-Spaceman"

I went to go watch tonight's episode, and got a message saying that Univision pulled all their channels from Spectrum due to their want for a fee increase.

I was really looking forward to seeing the first trios championship match tonight, too. Bummer.

Yeah that sucks a lot. Every so often a network gets into playing chicken with a particular provider and they get pulled. Usually it's only for a couple months, but it's a real bummer when it happens. If I remember right, I lost ScyFy for like four months right in the middle of watching some dumb miniseries on it when that poo poo happened with them.

There's a lot of stuff on these rewatches that I forgot about. Seeing Texano and Cage teaming up here is real weird.
