Lucha Underground is amazing, I'm enjoying this so much. I love how it's a serial TV show and not a wrestling show. These guys understood that WWE is out of their league and they just focussed on making something unique and succeeded. It's something TNA never really got, even when they tried making their promotion unique, their main focus was being "WWE Lite", stupid.
The narrative being explained through those pre-filmed segments is awesome. Blue Demon Jr. and Maxine's in particular this week was excellent. For one, MAXINE~~! With the soundtrack behind it and everything, it was great! GREAT!
Good matches too, that first match of course taking the cake. Loved the double 450 splash ending, perfect sync on that one.
Also, a shout-out to Konnan, I was never a fan of his wrestling and his entire off-screen personality is just terrible, just listening to him on podcasts makes me want to punch the dude. But I have to hand it to him, the guy can act and all the stuff he's in is great. I believe him as the grizzled veteran trying to manipulate Prince Puma by acting as a trainer that has his best interest in mind.
The heavyweight match was fun too, one thing I noticed here is the lack of rest holds, WWE and their fucking rest holds had damn near made me forget that you don't have to have minute long periods in the middle of matches where people just sit in the middle of the ring pretending they're choking eachother.
That Chavo doe. I'm enjoying something Chavo did. In 2014. Well done Lucha Underground.
Oh, and a side note about the Wesker gif's, I appreciate the fuck out of Wesker promoting the greatness that is Lucha Underground, but I would also like to ask if you could please wait a day or so before posting them, or post them as links instead of embedded with a small warning before then, given how people need to catch up. Thank you.
