Okay I guess tonight isn't the night for wrestling. Network is running like trash for some reason. Can't even get through this Raw without it pausing to buffer every few minutes

It kinda works since the other guy is able to bounce off the ropes with his legs but if that misses by a few inches it could be real, real bad.

I love wrestling but 8 hours of Lucha Underground might be a bit much.

Cheap Heat was good this week. Too bad Chris Hero got cut.
He also had an interesting tidbit about Cena.

Cena wanted to turn heel in 2011, and bought trunks and Ric Flair robes for his new heel persona.

You guys were not joking about the Konnan hype video on Lucha Underground, it was great, WWE needs to hire those guys and give them total freedom, and maybe they can make fans care about Roman.

Don't kid yourself, the WWE would find a million ways to fucking ruin any momentum these guys have

Sling TV is pretty much the only legal way to watch it if you don't have cable. It's El Rey and 15 other channels for $20/month.

I can see Brock doing that to Rome with easeT M F
I haven't watched Lucha Undeground yet to see this Konnan video, but the WWE generally does put together amazing video packages that make a crappy feud appear amazing. My standouts for this is The Miz's video package for that Mania main event and the Hornswaggle vs Torito WeeLC match. The problem is that they just don't rely on their video much at all in the feud build-up. That episode of Raw where the arena was snowed out showed how much those types of segments adds to the feud and wrestlers' personas. Kinda ironic they shy away from that when they still push the word sports entertainment over wrestling.

Yeah, they can make a nothing match feel special with a hype video if they want, but they rarely make a video that makes you believe that said wrestler is ready, is the #1. It also helps that LU backs it with good booking unlike WWE.
Wow!, The main event cage match was great, one of my favorite if not my favorite cage match in a long time. First, no stupid door ruining the match; the cage was a bit short but I liked that both Mundo and Cuerno rarely tried to escape (only when it made sense to try); both used the cage as a weapon in an interesting ways, specially Cuerno; I also liked that they were there to fight and not to run, how many times do we see the face finally get the heel in a cage match and the first thing they try to do is escape when the logic of the match is that the heel cannot run so the face can punish him?; finally, the crazy ending.
MOTYC so far.
Plenty. Especially before you had guys like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan on the main roster. A lot of those fans in the mid to later '00's gravitated to the indies because of the better work rate of the talent. Many of them did not watch WWE either. Indies don't feel as popular as they were then....and I'm talking true indies, not Ring of Honor and Lucha Underground.

Your cable provider may have Unimas which carries LU in Spanish. Thats what I use since all the random commercials on daily motion drive me crazy.

I'm sure she'd be down to give some becky. Ha, I like how people automatically record things even when they don't care about what's going on. The future everybody.

Apparently Ishii finds it amusing that he's become so popular at the tail end of his career, especially in the US & UK, where it seems crazy to him that he'd be front & centre on a poster ahead of Nakamura & Styles.
Basically, it's awesome, he had a hell of a time and put over the crowd huge, he says PWG could be much bigger but they're content to stay at this level, as moving venues would risk losing the atmosphere and with a fluctuating talent roster it's hard to guarantee they'll always have the star power to sell out a bigger place. He also put over how hard everyone works, big mention for Mike Bailey in that regard, and said that the wrestler's know they can make an instant name for themselves with a PWG booking.

It's like they're trying to make up for last year's actually interesting build by making this year as frustratingly bad as possible.
Damn, Alexa's new music is much better,
Overall, she's been doing some work while she's been away. I liked that snap of aggression when she caught Carmellas leg and the sparkle splash is a nice finish, especially for a diva.

It'll be amazing to see how they manage to make the Reigns/Lesnar feud look anywhere near as compelling considering Reigns has been in or near the main event ever since his singles run started and how he's had little to no interaction with Paul Heyman, let alone Brock.
No idea, holy shit at that promo though. I didn't think he had it in him. Shows what a guy can do with some good material.
Shit production though. They've already advertised Owens V Riley next week and they're talking like Rileys not been granted the match yet.
On PPV in 3D as well! Wish there was some way to get that outside of Mexico. I've always thought that wrestling was something that would look cool on a 3D TV. Anyone ever seen anything in 3D? I know PCW had a Blu Ray out for a bit but I ordered a copy and they were out of stock and haven't re-stocked since
