What is the difference between AAA and CMLL? Why is everyone dreading this?

The initial reports about it were that it was like wrestling power rangers but all i've seen from the previews is indie wrestlers having indie matches so I'm actually kinda excited for it

please watch cmll instead of this

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.

can't believe wwe passed on Prince Puma

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.

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.

I love it.

Thanks.
I have limited hope for the commentators to grow into a great duo, and I hope they stop cutting to them (especially with the much worse camera quality) so often.

It's pretty funny to see Ricochet apparently interpreting "lucha" as "do more unnecessary flips".

Lucha Underground is not even a little bit about lucha

It's on my El Rey on Demand, and I have Time Warner. Dunno what's up with your branch. Maybe El Rey considers Cleveland, Ohio a major wrestling outlet for some reason?

Cleveland has a robust indie scene and THE MIZ

Who is Mil Muertes?

Mesías. He's been a big name for AAA in the past, was the Kane to Abyss's Undertaker in TNA, and was basically this exact character in WSX

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.

This actually isn't true at all, though. I agree Mistico will probably never appear on Lucha Underground but only because he's too big of a diva to do something he thinks is beneath him.

TheJoker138 posted:

Isn't it? I've heard it hear a ton of times, and there's all those times ADR tried to rip off his mask when he was Sin Cara.

Everyone cites a report that one of Mistico's entourage pulled a gun on Del Rio in the locker room back in AAA and the fact that they worked snug in the ring against each other. Meltz reported ADR was basically the only person in the locker room who DIDNT hate Mistico and tried very hard to get him to fit in but he was too much of a diva. As for mask ripping and working snug, that's lucha dawg. They bump soft in the ring but still drill each other with kicks and chops

These are all AAA guys so get ready for flips. Pentagon Jr and Fenix are awesome, Drago is a little older but can still go.
