The idea of wrestling is that it's a presented as a shoot fight (even LU, with all the mystical poo poo in the story segments is very much presented as "underground illegal shoot fights" when actually in the ring). If someone was broadcasting a shoot fight where a guy was beating the poo poo out of a woman, my two thoughts would be 1) what kind of shitbag freakshow promotion sanctioned this, and 2) where is the remote

fatherdog posted:I don't think anyone's saying suspension of disbelief isn't important; it's more that if you're watching a show where one of the wrestlers is literally a time travelling spaceship and there are multiple instances of in-ring teleportation, and the part that breaks your suspension of disbelief is intergender matches, you might have some deeper issues to work out. FWIW I have always thought the sci-fi/mystical elements of LU have always been extremely at odds with its "gritty underground fighting club" aesthetic. Like I don't watch CHIKARA but it is fully committed to its aesthetic/universe. LU seems to want to be "Chikara but Shoot Fights" which makes no sense.

the general Wikipedia policy, I believe, is to list events (title changes, etc) in all promotions by taping date rather than airing date, so, yes, they do it with TNA/NXT as well

It's kind of a weird case because even the big promotions had periods where their main TV was on significant tape delay, though this was generally considered to be a terrible idea when WCW did it with the Orlando shows. I can get why they'd want to keep it consistent, though.

I thought Lucha Underground wasn't a promotion.

SamuraiFoochs posted:This company has jumped the shark and is not even entertaining bullshit anymore (or is rapidly approaching that level), just regular old bullshit. HOW did Pentagon not win? They have no desire to book in response to people who get over because a) it's impossible because they tape entire seasons at once, and b) it would interfere with their grand, epic wrestling narrative or something.

my favorite thing is the LU stans in Ryan's replies who apparently think it's a reasonable ask that a dirtsheet not report TV taping results
