Same. My favorite thing about Matanza is that he is great about knowing what to no-sell. Him standing up out of Pentagon's lungblower still stands with me.

I think the violence is what does it, women just heighten the experience.

I did notice they didn't get weird until the very end of the women's match in the first episode this season. Maybe someone told them to calm it down?

I just caught the ending and that was really well done and a great example of how LU makes everyone look strong. Chavo got to cheat, have it work, and Rey still gets the great baby face win.

I'm really hoping Puma doesn't go bad just to go good again. I also doubt he will just because this is his last season and Puma going dark and kicking lots of rear end and then getting bumped off by something even scarier send like their style.

Sling freaked out on me half way through so I just finished watching. Not what I expected but I was happy at the end. Sexy makes an amazing transitional champion and puts the belt on a technico for a bit. It will sting when Matanza or Mil destroy her to take the belt. She's not a great wrestler but I like the story.

Gumball Gumption

It would look better if anyone sold it well. I hate his stunner on Matanza because that guy is never going to go to the ground. He should just save the stunner for Jack and the other flippy guys.

Dave complaining about the intergender matches mostly feels like an outdated opinion. I get why you would not do it when wrestling presented itself as a legitimate sport but those days are long gone. We all know that it is fake. Comparing it to a shoot fight just doesn't make sense. If UFC did an intergender fight you wouldn't be upset that one fighter was a man and the other was a woman, you would be upset because it would be a one sided murder. Same reason no one wants to watch guys in wildly different weight classes fight. Wrestling doesn't have that constraint so it seems silly to pretend that it does. Everyone is as big and strong as their fighting spirit.

Gumball Gumption

Maybe it's because I've not been into wrestling that long but I find wrestling playing it straight to be the worst part. If I want a real fight I watch UFC. If I want two over the top superheros punching each other I watch wrestling. I find LU going full stupid to be refreshing. I like someone owning how stupid wrestling is.

Edit: I do agree about guys winning with their mediocre finish. If someone kicks out after being out through a bunch of tables then you need to escalate to what actually puts them away.

If the WWE thread was just about smackdown it would probably have a lot less complaining.

And I wasn't saying everyone is outdated, just Meltzer. His complaint is weird and he's defending it with data that doesn't show the whole picture.

Know what I do hate about LU? How long they tease out new wrestlers. I was expecting these rabbit guys to show up in Aztec Warfare. We've had over a month of teasers and they have not shown a thing. Also Mariposa is really under used.

Horrible booking, cheapens the achievement of even having a female champ.

It makes sense to me. Sexy is like the only pure baby face and she made a pure baby face mistake. She told the Mack to stay away so that she could prove herself. She's too nice to be champion which fits her character.

Gumball Gumption

If Ivelisse was there original plan I think she would of held the title a lot longer. This works for me though. Sexy winning felt good but her losing also makes sense in the story. I also can't think of a single person who I'd want to see in a championship feud with Sexy. She's still not a good wrestler. I don't really want to see her get wrecked by one of the monster heels. Getting cheated out of it because she is too nice works for me.

At the end of every season he has dropped rumors that they wouldn't be able to make the next one. Without something else backing up that statement I'm going to be skeptical.
