I've been behind on LU this season but just watched the latest show and enjoyed that main event the most of the season so far. I also thought the opener with Famous B was fun, especially the way he clutched at his neck when they decapitated his cardboard cutout :)

I like the Sexy Star storyline, I just would like it much better if Sexy Star was being played by a better wrestler and/or actress than Sexy Star

Yeah, it's a cool storyline but outside of that one match she had with Mariposa she's never really been particularly impressive either in the ring or in her character performance. She's better than Kobra Moon at least.

Edit: I would have loved Rey Mysterio to be the new Champion :shobon:

The weird part I find with the whole "an average woman couldn't possibly beat up the average man, my immersion" is that this is a company with Rey "No way am I 5'6''" Mysterio as a dominant main eventer.

To be fair, Rey Mysterio also happens to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time so that helps a fair bit!

In terms of the "if this was a real fight, a woman would get destroyed!" people

Oh right, yeah I'm not one of those. Lucha Underground is a wrestling show with 1000+ year old dragons and other supernatural monsters and spacemen and immortals using ancient Mexican magic. Believability is not a major concern for me :)

Having Lorenzo Lamas around from time to time is pretty awesome

also Dario calling in the main event on the RED PHONE

Apparently the system is that Dario picks up the RED PHONE, whoever takes the call sends out runners to make the appropriate changes, including bringing a card to Matt Striker.

LU lost a lot of momentum with the season break (and season 3 in general) but I gotta say I have really missed Dario Cueto. Throwing his brother under the bus by giving the title shot to Mysterio was hilarious.

Edit: Also Johnny Mundo: Terrible Actor is the perfect character for Morrison.

Exactly, the mid-season break was a killer.

Dario marking out over his bracket like a March Madness bettor is the best.

It reminded me of back in season 2 when he's hiding out on the road, and his brother's murdering three idiots out back while Dario is all like,"I MADE $60! :haw:"
