The Shaw Bros block isn't going away, they're just moving it from Thursday to Tuesday to make room for the new shows. Also they're playing Heavy Metal like 50 times a week for some reason.

That explains the commercials during yesterday's episode where Robert Rodriguez was asking the audience to fill out a survey on what they want to see. They're at the stage of "okay just tell us what to air"

They're probably just going to become a new Spike TV.

El Rey feels like what Spike wanted to be when it started but failed to deliver.

If they could get their hands on more experimental animation from the 70s like Fritz the Cat, or LOTR, or Wizards, that'd be awesome, gently caress El Rey Network should just try and have a Criterion block and show movies that AMC doesn't.

Apparently it was a last-minute call by El Rey when they decided to retool their programming. From Cubsfan:

I don't want to tell Cubsfan that the Baja races are kind of boring unless edited a ton

As someone that worked for them as a server and expo, Tim would do something like that with a money incentive between other servers and probably himself. Probably paid in shift beers again. Bastard.

On this week's episode, The Mack and Johnny Mundo go All Night Longer, with the title match going into sudden death.

Also on tap:

-- The lizard guys show up, and I'm pumped to see PINDAR and THE UNDERSNAKER again :allears:

-- Dario makes some kind of announcement, which may or may not involve a dreaded opportunity

-- Prince Puma vs. Mil Muertes in a BOYLE HEIGHTS STREET FIGHT. They better show up in jeans or we riot.

I'm just thinking of the logistics of a 32-person tournament... while there's plenty of time left in the season that's a lot of matches and do they even have 32 people? I'd expect there to be some 4-way matches at least.

At least the Cueto Cup has a storyline and reason for all these tournament matches happening, with a clear single-elimination format. TNA just taped a bunch of random poo poo when their DA deal went south, and later retconned it into a convoluted World Cup-style thing with group play and tiebreakers and whatnot.

Also wrestling tournaments own, I'll take any bullshit kayfabe excuse to get one. :colbert:

LU lost a lot of momentum with the season break (and season 3 in general) but I gotta say I have really missed Dario Cueto. Throwing his brother under the bus by giving the title shot to Mysterio was hilarious.

Edit: Also Johnny Mundo: Terrible Actor is the perfect character for Morrison.

Did I have terrible connection, or where there a lot of weird cuts right before Melissa brought out the Cueto Cup? Seems like they had to do a lot of editing because someone missed their cue.

When the commentary called "New Trios champs!" I thought someone was going to say "Well, 2/3 of them are new." Has there ever been a team-switching championship match? I don't recall seeing that in wrestling before.

Drago is a brainwashed victim of the nefarious Reptile Tribe, and I will not stand for this. There is still good in him, I can feel it and I badly want his super friends to rescue him. Free Drago!

Say what you will about LU, but their total commitment to this ludicrous universe is a huge strong point. We're allowed to buy in and get invested in these characters, as silly as they are, and thus we care about whether they win or lose, be good guys or bad guys.
