This week's Lucha was pretty good, but last week's was insane. Lots of jumping off high things.

This week was Penta being Penta, to his own detriment. Going alone against 2 main eventers was a dumb choice, but he's not exactly bringing his brother back from the dead, I guess. Indiana Mundo was pretty classic. Too bad about the reptile. He'll be missed after impressing this season.

Simple Fan 08-03-2018 07:19 PM

Yeah was shocked that was how that ended but reptiles are know to grow back limbs as well. Not sure they can grow back a head though.

Emperor Smeat 08-03-2018 08:44 PM

Season has been pretty good so far and really enjoy the creative ways being done to deal with people no longer being in the company.

Could have easily gone the lazy route by just ignoring them or have them simply lose a match as their exit but instead are using the departures in different ways to play into the on-going storylines.

Anybody Thrilla 08-07-2018 12:16 AM

I'm finally all caught up, and I'm in love again. Definitely gonna miss Vibora as soon as I started to like him. Mundo would be weird with the Reptile Tribe, though...who I think are much better this season. I like how Kobra Moon extends the letter "sssssss" when she speaks, and Daga fits well, even though he looks nothing like a reptile.

DaveWadding 08-07-2018 12:19 AM

They should have Big Bad Steve wrestle every week.

Anybody Thrilla 08-07-2018 12:19 AM

Also hyped to see my homie Dez getting some shine. Surreal.

DaveWadding 08-09-2018 05:11 AM

Loved this episode. Loved the classic WWF reference at the end.

Mariposa's breasteses are very nice.

Anybody Thrilla 08-11-2018 03:17 AM

Ya, Mariposa was hot in that episode. Never noticed that before.

Also, Ricky Mundo is delightfully creepy.

DaveWadding 08-11-2018 03:24 AM

Mariposa has a really fucking great match later in the season. I hope they don't kill it with editing

Anybody Thrilla 08-11-2018 03:35 AM

I could use some more Marty the Moth.

DaveWadding 08-17-2018 03:07 AM

Really great episode this week. Great matches, epic vignettes, setting up matches for next week that should (and do) burn the house down. Also, I will be making my debut in the crowd next week. :cool:

Simple Fan 08-22-2018 09:38 PM

Best episode this season. Good to see a real cage match with none of the escape to win bullshit. Main event was just crazy.

DaveWadding 08-24-2018 06:01 AM

I'm pissed that we weren't at the Pentagon/Cage taping. That match was everything I ever wanted.

Anybody Thrilla 08-27-2018 02:50 AM

Damn, that main event was insane. Ricky Mundo is insane. I liked whatever that was happening with Catrina and Melissa Santos. Famous B is hilarious to me, for some reason.

Lucha Underground is the best.

DaveWadding 08-30-2018 04:03 PM

Ricky Mundo is the biggest heel in LU right now.

A.J.K 08-30-2018 05:47 PM

i'm only watching for XO Licious / Sonny Kiss, and Jack Swagger

Emperor Smeat 08-31-2018 02:25 AM

:lol: at Famous B during the ending of the Mundo wedding.

DaveWadding 09-06-2018 01:46 PM

That cutscene at the beginning was the main event of the whole episode. Probably the best one they've EVER done.

I don't think that I put together at the tapings who Joey Wrestling was. I just figured he was some jobber.

Big Bad Steve :'(

Pentagon has a hell of a rogue's gallery this year. Matanza, Cage, the latest challengers... and there's way more to come. I marked out so fucking hard at the end of this one.

Also, this episode is the first one where RoXer and I are in the crowd the whole time (and we ended up being there for the rest of the season), so my thoughts and recaps will probably start getting longer every week.

DaveWadding 09-06-2018 01:55 PM

a thought I forgot to bring up a couple weeks ago:

SPOILER: show
I thought the Haunted House match came off way better on TV than it did live. Part of it could be where we were sitting (we happened to be near Melissa, you can see us in the background of the whole Melissa/Catrina thing). I just feel like I missed a lot of things because of the vantage point, or it could have been that Catrina was walking around in front of me the whole time and I was really distracted. One of the tables was blocking our side of the ring, I think. Also, Muertes is a sick fuck. Using the knife was insane, and then of course the TOP ROPE FLATLINER THROUGH A TABLE and The Mack landed on his goddamn head! The reaction for that was so loud.

Corporate CockSnogger 09-07-2018 06:37 PM

Jack Swagger seems really bad in Lucha Underground. Def seems a lot slower than he was when I last saw him. Maybe it's just in comparison to the speed of everyone else, but he seems like a lumbering idiot.

Everything else is pretty much the best

Emperor Smeat 09-07-2018 06:49 PM

Yeah, he's probably the only guy where I felt he doesn't really fit on the show. Something about his booking and matches comes more off as WWE style than LU or lucha style.

Even in terms of big or bulky guys, Brian Cage and Vibora are more entertaining to watch in LU than Swaggie.

Corporate CockSnogger 09-07-2018 07:14 PM

Yeah def, they're trying to sell him as kinda a "monster" but all the other monsters are 10x better than he is e.g Cage, Mil Muertes, Matanza

Feel like half the smaller guys are more intimidating due to style too.

He just seems like a tall, once in shape but lost a lot of muscle mass but still got some size, kinda guy. Which I guess is exactly what he is

Corporate CockSnogger 09-07-2018 07:15 PM

@RoXer and @DaveWadding at ringside is the highlight of season 4 tho

DaveWadding 09-08-2018 07:04 PM

the filter they use make me look like I have a farmer's tan. it's hideous.

Yeah, seriously. And I was a Swagger fan in WWE.

Anybody Thrilla 09-10-2018 03:31 PM

Still haven't noticed Wadding and RoXer, but I was looking.

XL 09-12-2018 11:43 AM

Fell away from LU at the end of Season 2, just watched Ultima Lucha Tres Part IV to set me up for S4.

Love Johnny Mundo’s character/presentation. It’s very similar to something I wanted to do as part of the last attempt at Armchair Warfare.

Gonna start S4 soon.

Front row on this weeks episode. Noticed them a lot during the trios match at the end.

So many intertwined feuds going on with the Lucha Super Friends.

Vs reptile tribe
Vs mil muertes/Catrina/Melissa santos
Vs Swagger (terrible promo btw)
Vs eachother

DaveWadding 09-19-2018 04:11 PM

This week's episode is gonna be crazy.

sup guys?

Anybody Thrilla 10-02-2018 02:26 AM

I was searching something about something and ended up coming across a spoiler for Ultima Lucha on the Wikipedia page. Steer clear of there to avoid my fate.

DaveWadding 10-02-2018 02:53 AM

That doesn't really apply to me, but I'm sure the NDA I signed does until the show actually airs.

DaveWadding 10-02-2018 02:54 AM

that really sucks balls though.

Simple Fan 10-02-2018 02:56 AM

My problem is I usually watch as I'm going to bed and I'm usually drunk and pass out before it ends. I'm all caught up, didn't see that coming tough.

Anybody Thrilla 10-02-2018 03:24 AM

I DVR it and watch when I remember it's been a Thursday. I'm all caught up, but I really wish I didn't know what I found out.

DaveWadding 10-04-2018 03:15 PM

feel like this week's show was great. Aerostar makes me laugh a lot in his out of ring segments.

Feel like some of the matches really benefit from being edited (like the Trios and Killshot/Havoc both did). Cut the matches down to just the really good parts and speeds everything up.

Killshot's
SPOILER: show
HANGING KILLSTOMP
was super fucking brutal. Definitely one of the loudest reactions of the night.

Longer thoughts on Marty in spoilers.

SPOILER: show
Thought the Marty/Mariposa match suffered from the editing process. I kept coming back to that match as one of my favorites from the tapings and it seemed like it lost some of the impact on TV. It seems like this happens a lot to Mariposa specifically, which sucks, because she's incredible.

They beat the SHIT out of each other all over the Temple. EVERYONE was going nuts. Just a hell of a ride being there first hand. It wasn't clear at the taping whether the match was for the belt or not. Also, they cut a part at the end where Penta came out. After he threatened to fuck Marty's whore mother, he broke Mariposa's other arm and left :lol:

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2018 07:18 PM

Just finished watching this week's episode and ouch at Marty during the chair massacre.

DaveWadding 10-04-2018 10:34 PM

I was very at risk of being chair massacred also. That shit's terrifying when you're that close.

DaveWadding 10-11-2018 03:03 PM

RIP to RoXer's Mil Muertes artwork that Pentagon bent over that poor girl's dome.
