I love that Drago's character can be boiled down to "a literal motherfucking dragon from the netherworld."

because of course Vampiro is an actual vampire. This is Lucha Undergound

Exactly. This is a company containing Mexican voodoo zombies, a walking steroid golem, a Bengal tiger, a firebird who is the walking incarnation of the force of life, a literal motherfucking dragon, and also some chump who likes moths. In the basement, the guy who owns the company keeps an Asian chick locked up across from his brother, who literally chewed a dude's face off.

With all of that, why the gently caress wouldn't Vampiro be an actual vampire?

Besides, this is also broadcast on El Rey. They might just turn it into a crossover with From Dusk Til Dawn if LU season 2 ever gets made.

Speaking of spoilers, there's a Rolling Stone article floating around today about Ultima Lucha that I guess has some minor spoilers about Pentagon/Vampiro. I haven't read it because someone warned me. But interesting thing in the article that was quoted to me - apparently the graffiti on the Temple walls has hidden messages in it hinting at story arcs that they plan to do in later seasons.

:mad: Now I gotta watch all of LU again.

Take advantage of Sling.com's free week's trial and use that to watch Ultima Lucha.

Goddamn, what a loving show.

Season 2 NEEDS to happen.

Again, the crazy gimmicks.

Drago? Literally a motherfucking dragon.
Vampiro? Literally a motherfucking vampire.
Aero Star? Literally from motherfucking outer space.
Mil Muertes & The Disciples of Death? Literally motherfucking Mexican voodoo zombies.


Marty the Moth? Literally out of his motherfucking mind. :stare:

Do we know who that was following Fenix in the truck in the teaser? Was hard to make out his face under the cowboy hat.

King Cuerno.

Cuerno's been spotted wearing that same cowboy hat in backstage segments.

For a while I thought they were doing a literal "Mil Muertes can become three skeletons" thing which would've been amazing, but then we saw them all together.

I like to think it's both. Mil Muertes is Death Incarnate, but he can also split off "Little Deaths" that carry a fraction of his power.

Hey, what Mil and Catrina get up to in the privacy of the depths of the Temple is their own business. I ain't gonna judge.

EDIT: I also didn't say HOW Mil splits off those Little Deaths.

This is proof there is a god.

Or rather, a pantheon of them.

Yeah, but what about The Underworld and Beyond the Stars. At least Aerostar can provide his own transportation

Drago is literally a motherfucking dragon. He can fly himself in. The budget for his transpo goes instead to paying him in live cattle for him to slaughter and eat.

I honestly wonder what they'll do with Puma now that he's not the eternal champion who is the coolest and the best, Prince Puma.

Probably get around to finally turning Konnan heel.

Personally, I kinda hope they don't turn Konnan heel, but only because I don't want to vindicate Evil Pope Vampiro's incessant need to run him down at every opportunity.

I dunno, I get the feeling that Misterio's gonna be Puma's new mentor in the early part of the season, and Puma gradually starts winning matches without someone interfering on his behalf. Then Konnan escapes from hell (or wherever Team Death dragged him off to), and gets pissed off that Puma's listening to someone other than him.

Then you have poor Puma having an angel on one side and a devil on the other, not sure who to listen to.

They do have events they can build to though - Aztec Warfare, Grave Consequences, Ultima Lucha, and the Trios tournament can be their annual big four.

Any word yet on who isn't? Has anyone notable mentioned moving on?

If I had to guess, Hernandez may be in some trouble with them. When Season 2 hadn't been confirmed, he went off to TNA looking for a payday, they filmed weeks worth of matches and material with him, and then they found out they couldn't use any of it, 'cuz he was still under contract to LU.

I dunno if that pissed off LU or what, but I could see that being something they'd decide not to bring him back over.

Well, they did say that LU was in part inspired by Mortal Kombat, so why not deepen the video game inspirations?
