So this was worth watching then? Is it better than the poo poo WWE has been putting out?

oatgan posted:It's a pretty stupid show with a solid main event and the promise of getting even stupider in the coming weeks. It's only an hour long so it won't be much of a time investment to figure out if it's your kind of dumb. I love dumb wrestling as long as it's fun and not whatever the gently caress it is TNA has been doing for the last however many years. I'll check it out.

oatgan posted:All of the backstage segments are basically telenovellas about organized crime and briefcases full of money. The opening match between Chavo and Blue Demon Jr was so bad they had to very obviously edit out portions of it and it's still 50% botched. Vampiro is the good half of the commentary team. Well this sounds great.

Watched it. That was a pretty good main event. I'm amazed they had fake biker go over the lady, especially after giving her a video package and him the jobber entrance. The first match was awful. They need to stop cutting every two god drat seconds, it's worse than WWE and I found myself actually disoriented a few times. The backstage segments are amazing.

I never even liked the top down view in ladder matches and such. It's weird. The editing also sucked in this all together, with so many line jumps that I often got confused about where poo poo was happening in the ring.

flashy_mcflash posted:If you watch it in the context of a Mark Burnett show (like Survivor or The Apprentice) it makes more sense. Basically they're treating it like a reality show similar to The Contender, it seems. Isn't the money only the macguffin, for lack of a better term, in the first episode? Cause he gave it to Ezekiel Jackson at the end.

oatgan posted:i'm not sure why those two things are related ADR loving hates Mistico, and vice versa, so it's likely that unless they're offering enough money for them to get over it, they might not want to work at the same place with each other.

For a niche show on a network no one has that's not bad at all.

KungFu Grip posted:Was it the Beyonder or the Collector reference that Striker made about Lucha Vince and Vampiro went "I dont know what that means" Beyonder. He compared Dario to him, and Lucha Underground to the Secret Wars. Then a week later Prince Puma had to teach Dario how to poop, so it was pretty accurate, really.

I'm getting caught up right now, and I have to say I think Son of Havoc might be one of my favorite heels ever. I hate his stupid loving guts because he's a total dick, not because he's boring in the ring, and every time they bring out a lady, a mini, or an exotico to punch him in the face I get really happy.

StarkRavingMad posted:El Rey itself is a hilarious network since aside from Lucha Underground, as far as I can tell all it shows is old martial arts flicks, lovely grindhouse movies, and re-runs of Miami Vice. It's perfect. It's also got that From Dusk Till Dawn series.

LU has two great top faces with Morrison and Puma, but Big Ryck wasn't really doing it for me as a top heel, and Mil Muertes didn't really seem like he was it to me either. Del Rio coming in as Dario Cueto's rich rear end in a top hat friend seems like it might be exactly what they need.

LU is, like Hoodslam, one of the things I'd go out of my way to do while on a trip to LA.

HogX posted:Holy poo poo I'm on the episode with an exotico. I would have never thought they'd do that, I love LU. That's the match where I became 100% sold on what they're doing with Son of Havoc. It's just so satisfying watching minis and exoticos and women beat the gently caress out of him. He's a great heel.

Doesn't Russo hate foreign guys? So is he going to job out everyone but Morrison and Big Ryck? And probably Big Ryck too, actually, cause he's black.

Having Russo do the anti-lucha heel faction thing would actually probably be alright. If he's not in a position of any power, I think he could probably fill that role pretty well.
