I didn't like how the Temple looks clean but has weird lovely yellow lighting. I hope that gets addressed as the show moves on. So who all is written off? Hernandez didn't need it so the arm break is kinda weird. I assume Marty's gone. Either Mariposa is already gone or she's already checked herself out mentally because yeah. Angelico is gone. Fox hasn't changed his twitter away from Dante so I feel like his absence might be a story thing rather than a quitting thing? edit: Also was Chavo ever reinstated on screen or do we just roll with it?

Benne posted:I guess, but it just felt like half "people coming in to eat quick pins and gently caress off out of their contracts" and half "hastily reminding you of storylines still going on" without letting anything sink in. It didn't have the cohesion or flow of the other Aztec Warfare matches, and looked edited to hell and back. At least Pentagon got a strong win and the most eliminations, which was the right call. Ghidzilla posted:Because I'm derpy, that *was* still Cheerleader Melissa as Mariposa, right? Yeah, that was still her, she took time off to get breast implants and probably couldn't do much while she was healing. Someone on Reddit posted this:  https://gfycat.com/HardtofindFirmHummingbird . I'm only posting that link as a 'yep, it's her', not as anything creepy.

She's a woman babyface, she'll obviously win this match, right? Nope. They wanted to demonstrate, right off the bat, that this show will be deviating from the usual.

I just read AR Fox said he missed the first taping due to some travel issues, so he won't be around until later in the season, but he's not gone! I'm glad they changed Vibora's mask for Austin Matelson's sake. The long dino-snout one he had last season looked like a nightmare to wrestle in. \/\/\/ I was thinking more along the lines of seeing well over a giant central beak, but yeah, didn't look easy to breathe in either. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Jun 15, 2018 |

Papa Cueto is so weird because I can't tell if we're supposed to know, in kayfabe, whether that's obviously Dario in a beard, or if they're clearly different in kayfabe and we just know that's clearly Luis Fernandez Gil in a beard.

I'm betting it's actually Dario in disguise. I feel like they could have made it a little less obvious if they wanted him to be a new character, especially with the voice, but maybe I'm overestimating Luis Fernandez Gil's acting chops.

Honestly I can't decide which would be more Lucha Underground - whether it's meant to be a whole new character or if it's just Dario in disguise. Either way it's amazing.

It would be great if they use TV magic and it turns out that Dario faked his death, but Papa is actually his real father and a different guy and they reunite and explain how Matanza is his brother and what happened to Mrs. Cueto.

There's only been one show so far, and Dario is dead (or faked his death) and been replaced by his father (or possibly Dario dressed as his dad) and he's moved the temple to an old house he's been storing beer in for the last couple decades, and stole the key to Matanza's cage from Dario's casket and announced Pentagon will be defending the title against his ONLY son Matanza next week so in short... the fun soap opera weirdness is still there at least.

So, based on the ending with Matanza we can say that Antonio is definitely not Dario, right? Not that it means something about Dario not coming back, since as this episode reminded us time travel and resurrection are both very real possibilities.

It's so weird. They bent kayfabe in the other direction with something that's so fake we can't tell if we're supposed to know. I really hope they get better lighting. The new temple is weirdly clean but with much shittier lighting.
