Man, can we have a LU night on psp.tv? I liked the first episode that was shown on there and I don't get El Rey. And I'd rather watch this than TNA.

Only caught the main event (it's up in it's entirety on Youtube), but I enjoyed it. Wouldn't have felt out of place on a PWG show.

Suben posted:That tag match was really fun. I kind of don't like Striker/Vampiro hammering home the "Sexy Star is fighting for all the girls" deal every thirty seconds but they've done a pretty good job of booking her as a good sympathetic babyface. Her and Fenix's dives near the end of the match were awesome. On the other hand, it beats what the WWE does with their women wrestlers.

Suben posted:When the Authority finally goes away for real I want Dario as the new authority figure and for them to change nothing about him. Yelling everything, making belts out of aztec gold, all of it. It would also be super progressive to have a Latino guy in charge. Never happened in a U.S. promotion since they started using authority figures, and the guy has charisma.

StarkRavingMad posted:Puma versus Cage tonight, get hype. (Probable main event for tonight, announced on Twitter, spoiled just in case anyone is super sensitive about such things). He also always sounds like he couldn't care less about what's going on. I mean, for all of Striker's faults (and they are numerous), he'll try to engage Vamp by feeding him lines and it goes nowhere. This actually happened on a recent ep, I'm paraphrasing: Striker: As a vet, how have things changed since you were a star in Mexico? (clearly putting vamp in a position to put over how exciting the newer guys are) Vampiro: I dunno bro, things really haven't changed that much. (Probably looking at his phone)

Excalibur's none too fond of Lucha. He told a story once about how an unnamed PWG worker's shoot name rang a ball when he first booked him, and it turned out they traded tapes and the guy hosed him over and sent Lucha instead of what he promised, which pissed off Excalibur because he and I quite, "fuckin' hates Lucha". But maybe he'd do it since he's friends with a bunch of prominent talent there.

Maxwell Lord posted:I do sometimes wonder about LU's profit model since El Rey probably cannot pay very much for the timeslot (they're in that stage of a cable network's life where at least half their commercials are for themselves.) I wonder how long they have before they have to start really paying off. Don't forget, they also run on UniMas, which I'm sure gets them at least some revenue.

I wish LU happened earlier this decade so we could have Super Dragon vs Puma instead. Not that I dislike Cage, but Super Dragon is a lot of fun when he's ragdolling a little guy.

sticklefifer posted:I feel like LU is the kind of show that could benefit from an off-season dark period. Get people to anticipate its return like a regular TV show, since it's more or less presented like one. Do a big premiere and a big finale each season. I'm of the opinion that wrestling in general could benefit from having a proper off-season. Less pressure to come back too soon, less mileage on the workers, creative has time to make plans and backup plans, etc.
