Pentagon/Vampiro was practically tame by CZW standards

Alright, I took the plunge with Fubo for Season 2. I'm also a soccer nerd who really wants to follow the Portuguese and Brazilian leagues, so this seems like a win-win for me.

Also, El Rey has so much awesome grindhouse stuff I'll get my money's worth even without LU.

I've said it in here a couple times but I've been very impressed by Fubo's quality. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Sling but it's a very consistent high-quality stream.

Yeah, I did one of their free trials a year ago to watch some random soccer cup I already forgot about, and the video quality was solid. This is a good, legit site.

A lot of episodes got yanked from YouTube/Daily Motion in a short span without notice, which led people to believe that some kind of VOD deal was in the works, but I've heard nothing since then.

Sexy Star isn't a good wrestler but I think they did a pretty good job hiding her limitations, and she got over, which is the end goal either way.

The only obvious misstep was letting her pin Pentagon clean, but even the writers admitted that they didn't realize how hot Pentagon would get when they taped that.

Speaking of writers, have they ever explained how the LU creative staff works? I remember hearing something about how they have a handful of legit TV veterans who write storylines, and then run it through guys like Konnan and Chavo who helped road-agent the matches and tried to make those stories fit into a pro wrestling context, but I don't think that was actually confirmed.

This means you get one of the best channels on the air.

They've been doing a Shaw Brothers kung-fu marathon all day and it's filling me with joy.

El Rey has a marathon tonight.

Watching Alberto Del Rio get the biggest reactions on the show is pretty funny in hindsight.

Is Konnan coming back in S2? I miss the Pimp Cane of Death.

Well, I haven't seen him do anything in-ring at the tapings. But I don't know if he's taped any backstage stuff. And he could always make a surprise return at Ultima Lucha 2

Makes sense, thanks.

Also, Mundo/Texano on the go-home show is criminally underrated. Or least it was until The Crew ruined it.

Yeah, Texano's good but he never really found a spot on the card. It feels like they just brought him in to cross-promote his AAA feud with Alberto, and then ran out of ideas once that ran its course.
