Lucha Underground Season 2
So who watched? What was everyone's thoughts?
Right now all I have to say is that it offered typically great storytelling, incredible production values, the works. Pentagon Jr PS guess which of the wrestling dinosaur fraternity this comes from? Last edited by Jari; 01-30-2016 at 06:19 AM. |

Really enjoyed season 1 and I watched it all in spanish. They droped Uni-mas as their spanish outlet but havent signed a new one. Season 2 should be good, hopefully I'll catch some of it.

First episode was so fucking good. They haven't missed a beat.
Mil is now basically Shao Khan which is badass. First match was pretty fun, the title change was unexpected. After that though, fuck your dicas revolution, the baddest bitch in the building won a title shot from the triple threat. The title match was great. It was paced so well and you just saw people standing and getting stupidly excited on the Ivelyse rollup thinking she was the new champion, but no, Mil wins it. Post match beatdown and I think e eryone expected Prince Puma... But probably not Pentagon coming down to break Mils arm. Best hour of wrestling on TV easy. Big shout out to the intro with Vampiro too. |

Somehow Lucha Underground gets away with the silliness that the WWE and TNA wish they could. It exists in its own realm of "sports entertainment."

However Meltzer also said he didn't think they would last for a second season so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone comes along with interest in the product cause along with NXT it's the freshest, most interesting promotion I've seen in a very long time. The two things I can see holding them back from getting national coverage would be the levels of violence they're prepared to use (I'm mainly thinking Pentagon Jr vs Vampiro here) and the intergender matches which I think a lot of networks would be uncomfortable with. I seem to recall talk of interest in pursuing a relationship with Netflix - I don't know exactly how that would help in terms of income but if possible, I think that would be the perfect way to bring the show to a bigger audience. |

Not wanting always go to WWE comparisons but that vignette at the start of the show made Vampiro appear a more fleshed out character than the WWE have done with Roman Reigns in two years. |

If I ever read, regarding WWE or TNA, "Apparently there are also rumors of the show having more of a "space alien theme" with more dramatics" I would run for the hills but because of the way Lucha Underground has deliberately set itself apart as a TV show based around wrestling and they're fully prepared to commit to all aspects of this kind of supernatural, aztec theme I really look forward to where they go with this idea.

Loved the first season, loved the start of Season 2. Lucha Underground is one of the things that sucked me back into wrestling in a big way at the start of last year so I really hope it continues to succeed.

Netflix would be the Holy Grail for Lucha Underground, or any wrestling promotion in general.

I think I'd actually willingly pay to watch Lucha Underground legitimately if I could, so good on them.

Like the idea of their version of the MitB case called "Gift of the Gods" title getting defended a lot in matches. Adds a bit more unpredictability on who could be the next LU champion or when it gets "cashed in" compared to other companies with a similar idea.
WWE should consider something like that with their MitB case so they don't end up with situations like Sheamus or Sandow where the winner ends up being a huge disappointment or someone they regret later on. |

Loved the kick off to this season Mil sitting on his badass throne awaiting challengers.
my fave dysfunctional trio is back! The way Lucha Underground stuff is shot just sucks you right in, interesting story lines nobody feels insignificant not even the fannouncers I love it all. Glad they are back. This could be eye roll cheesy or even cringe worthy but instead it's awesome( still cheesy)and a lot of fun. |

I fucking love Lucha Underground. It is just the right amount of ridiculous. Also, Catrina would get it so fucking hard. I hope this shit lasts forever. Also, I've hung out with Killshot a couple times, so it's cool to see him on TV.

Marty the Moth is amazing, too. Johnny Mundo is showing the star potential that everyone always thought he had.

Just watching this weeks now and it's so good. Episode 3 was kind of a low point just in terms of the program, but it was still good. 4 is great top to bottom. Joey Ryan being a cop is just perfect, he looks exactly like a stereotypical 70's movie cop.
Plus, you know, Puma V Pentagon. |

Burns a hole in my face knowing how much I'm missing out on good stuff, DirecTV wants me to upgrade a lot of channels just to get El Rey other than me just paying for that channel exclusively. I fart on their grave

They've mentioned putting it up on iTunes soon. Hopefully that means other places like Netflix get it at some point.

Watching the latest one now. Evans V PJ Black is a fun little opener.
I'm just still surprised Jack Evans is only 33. Feels like he's been around forever |

Just watched Aztec Warfare. I can officially say that this is the wrestling show that I look forward to most now. NXT is a close second.

Damn that was fun, but Jesus, the guy at the end can move and has got some high power moves.
Looked him up and there's not much to go on, looks like he's worked for a couple of Indies and has an amateur background. Was wondering why WWE didn't find him, then read he's 5'10". He just looked massive in comparison. |
