Question So while I've been away... How have you guys found Lucha Underground?
I haven't watched any WWE product since WM bar Owens Raw debut, but that required a lot of skipping... How has Lucha Underground been received here?

I loved NXT, but when Striker and Vampiro got into the swing of it and the talent had stories, it was the best promotion on TV. Great segments with Puma and Mundo competing for the title, then the bigger guys came after it. Side story wise, that casket match was the only 100% good casket match I've ever seen in 20 years of watching wrestling and this is coming from a mark of the Rumble casket match where it took every heel to bury Taker.

Other than the main event, the trios tag tournament not only told a fantastic story, not even just Angelico's awesome spot in the final, but Iveleyse coming out in the final with a legit fucked up ankle and doing dives off the apron.

Since then, Darios office has taken a beating from all sides and I love it even more for that. Since NXT went off the boil before WM, I'd probably have stopped watching wrestling in general until the G1 if it wasn't for Lucha Underground. How are you guys finding what is in my opinion, the best all-round wrestling show on TV in 2015?

I like Lucha Underground. Don't get in in English but its still a good show. Really enjoy Prince Puma. The trios championship being intergender is a twist. Only thing that I am confused about is Pentagon Jr. wears an octagon on the back of his shirt.

Thumbs up
Ha, I never even noticed. At the same time, I think he's been involved with so many good angles, it doesn't matter.

The fact that almost every match has context and a story on top of the main wrestling is phenomenal. I watched ever Attitude era Raw they put on the Network and the weekly shows remind me of that Raw with a surprisingly higher budget. Hope there's a special during Seson 2, and finding Dario was an absolute gem. If you can make Konnan enjoyable in 2015, you're doing something very right!

I'm waaaaay behind on it, but I've enjoyed it well enough from what I've seen. Love the way it sort of revels in being a tv show and does the movie-like backstage segments. Definitely makes the show stand apart from other wrestling shows.

Seen very little so far but enjoyed what I saw.

Majority of my exposure to Lucha Underground has been from gifs posted on several wrestling boards and websites.

Except for the male and women violence I love Lucha Underground. Not good for the current state of affairs in media and in public. I routinizely converse with Richard Knox of Lucha Underground (one of the show's main refs) on a retail chain social media site.

I think of it as the Sports Entertainment version of Lucha Libre. It's like turning lucha into something similiar to the WWE but still keeping the spirit of Lucha. It's great. I still think NXT is superior. I don't fully think a masked supestar can reach a mass audience because we don't see enough of their facial expressions and emotions. ALOT of the masks look the same also. Is it the Hunter guy or 1000 deaths dude? Can't tell sometimes except for Maxine being ringside.

I am in utter love with Lucha Underground. Took me a bit to really start getting into it but everything about it just nicely fits together for me. Good talent, good production values, something for pretty much everyone on the roster to do and just overall a very good package. It's one of the main things that's dragged me back "properly" into wrestling after a long time of not really giving a shit.

Really hoping a second season gets confirmed soon.
