Lucha Underground

Has anyone checked out this yet?

Big time spot-fest, but they have built a pretty interesting promotion. Lots of interesting contrasts for a Lucha promotion, and having a North American as the headline act (Prince Puma / Ricochet) was a surprise.

Check out this match, a serious MOTY candidate!

Oi SGLC - where can I find and watch full episodes of Lucha Underground? I kind of want to start from the start.

That's pretty much how I want to die.

Because it was on El Rey in the USA it makes it hard to watch full episodes (as does the Telenovella booking, which makes some of the more stupid WWE and TNA storylines seem normal). Your best bet is trying something like Vimeo or Dailymotion, and El Rey have a YouTube channel that shows 1 full match from that weeks episode.

 

[Misanthrope]

Yeah, given the episodic nature of their content, I really want to watch it in full from the very start.

To underhanded means!

Good match

Listened to a vampiro podcast with stone cold afterwards. Interesting guy

Pentagon Jr. is the greatest goddamn thing.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Definitely my favourite luchador at the moment since the passing of Perro Arguyo Jr.

Speaking of ideal shows...

LU is the ideal alternative to the WWE. It has it's own unique approach to wrestling, isn't afraid to brand established wrestlers differently and it doesn't copy the WWE formula of a special every month.

Season 2 kicked off last week and was about as good as it could have been. They handled the Vampiro storyline well, the opener was a quint-essential LU match while the main event was a well put together segment.

I don't think this show is for everyone, but I think everyone should check it out.

its not a promotion per se it's a tv show!slick production values mind you similar to an mtv wrestling show about 10 years ago called wrestling society X!

LU leaves WSX for dead. Much better wrestling / lucha and names people actually know outside of a handful.

Would love to see Kalisto here. I know he's the US Champ but we all know it hasn't meaned anything since Cena lost it.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Look up some of Kalisto's matches in AAA as Octagon Jr, probably the closest you will get. That feud is also where we got Pentagon Jr from, so it's a double plus.

i agree with you just saying similar set to wsx in that it's in a disused wharehouse!similar format! But Lucha underground has better roster and production values!hope it lasts!
