Hell, i mean its probably AAA who is stopping luchadors from working there.
So I've been waiting for LU to come to some sort of streaming service all this time, but am I correct in my assumption that something happened near the end of season 2 to drive people away from the product? No one talks about it at all anymore and its ratings are plummeting.

LU still seems to be a generally good product looking at the reactions to the latest episode, the novelty wore off hard though.
The stories have run out of steam. Also a lot of the guys I like on the show aren't being featured enough so that's another reason why I'm losing interest. I mean one of the best performances in Season 2 was Night Claw and it turns out he is a one time only appearance. Would have loved to see more of him. In totally unrelated matters what's Flamita up to now?

Lol, they thought it was a good idea to do the signing in a Mall thats's constantly full, and free for all without a good planning.
Cena is going away for the holidays and I doubt they'll put it on him just to make him drop it at SS, and they already had a lot of fun with Ambrose, so...
Any dates or show names? Ya, know to make the Internet searching that bit easier.
Thanks
Not Season 2 but there is a massive spoiler in Season 3 that soured a lot of fans when it appeared online. Also a couple other big spoilers came out that had us scratching our heads. And as Data mentioned above the new signings coming in being somewhat established US names rather than undiscovered talented luchadors strips away the whole Lucha Libre aesthetic.
Then there was the CWC that absolutely blew it out of the water when they were both on. Kind of hard to go back after that.
Thanks.
I still hope against hope that they get a streaming deal. Or at least DVD release... Really anything that's more reasonable then buying them all on itunes, which is a service I despise.

No lies detected, this is a good list.
Also didn't help that this is a 40 episode season.
I've never watched that much of Lucha Underground, mainly because when I finally decided to give it a real chance I was already living in Spain and it's simply impossible to watch it legally over there, you don't even have access to the matches uploaded on youtube.
So maybe I haven't given it enough of a chance BUT I can definitey say I didn't enjoy what I watched, in ring action is really good of course but all that dumb Telenovela drama surrounding it is so garbage that it gets to the point where it gets distracting and affects your overall enjoyment of the product.
That's me tho, I know some people have shit tastes so they may like garbage like that

Fuck that I want heel usos to keep chasing, none of that defending shit, please.
Then you're in luck as I've near-guaranteed their loss this weekend.
Good.
Keep him away from the title but having some big matches before Triple H kills him again at Mania

Fixed.
Goldberg isn't even 50 yet, you buncha m-words.
He's also in goddamn amazing shape, he's thrice the size of anyone on the roster right now.

Anyone watch the WCPW show? I hear the stream was shit, everyone phoned it in, and they spent an insane amount on flights.

I don't understand where they're getting the money from to book all this talent.
JR casually mentioning his 1st class flight cost $6000. Goooooood shit.

Actual best promo, the legendary ECW Zombie promo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6UaY4idyLww
Some dodgy shit going down.
I gave up on WCPW once their shows became pay-to-view. Just don't have the money right now to keep up to date with a tenner a show.
Ishii vs Okada (G1 Climax 2016, Day 13)
I watched it.
It was fucking incredible. INCREDIBLE.
I'm sat here yelling at my iPad for Ishii to reverse the tombstone, yelling at the top of my lungs for him to reverse it. And he did and fucking killed Okada.
Lyger applauding the match afterwards from commentary was fantastic too.
Cocky Champion vs Gutsy Underdog. It was incredible! I'm really going to have to get NJPW World set up as matches like this are just pure magic and totally thrilling.

WhatCulture makes a lotta Youtube money so I assume that's where the cash is coming from
Yaaasss I watched it live and was an unbelievable, blow away affair. Ishii might be the best dude at fighting from underneath and controlling in the same match. What a wrestler.

Didn't think it'd be that lucrative
Zeus, baby.
Actual answer
Lashley has been good for a while. Just no one watches TNA and he's been off an on with the promotion.

That was a fucking great match, I was really into it. Loved Okada trying to take to take those stiff chops to the chest and just fucking bottling it.

Dang, I don't even remember anyone named Night Claw from S2.
Why
I can confirm that this is an untrue statement. I have instructed my solicitor to consider legal proceedings against Zach, namely for libel and shit artwork.
Also, it's Friday. And work sucks. Well, this place sucks anyway.
Edit: I mean my job, not Wrasslegaf. I <3 you all.

There is only one choice for Rookie of the Year.
Yep, there's some very impressive rookies elsewhere, but none on Riddle's level - I think what sold me on him was seeing him in some of the small no-name indies. He seems to be able to work any sort of crowd and can get a good match out of any sort of opponent, which is pretty remarkable given how long he's been doing this.
I still don't like the way EVOLVE presents him or Catchpoint in general, they always come across as heels to me, but then the crowd's always behind them.

For me personally Charlotte is most improved. One of the best parts of Raw and has improved to insane lengths from how she was a few months ago.

MORE LIKE X-CUCK
fuck mras
Yeah everyone was saying go watch Riddle at obscure American indie A and he just seems like he loves what he is doing and that rubs off on the crowd as well. Obviously he has great physical talents as well, but it's that motivation to perform at 100% for any crowd puts him over the top.
Catchpoint come across as tweeners to me, leaning more on the face side with the whole TNA vs WWN/WWE feud. The title picture is such an unclear mess (what is Thatcher?????) I think with the fluid nature of the indies right now with anybody liable to disappear at any second off to Orlando, it's smart to have top of the card guys that can do anything. The full face Riddle will be gigantically over when it comes around anyway.
Given all the shit X-Pac has been through I'm not as surprised that he'd say this. Still its not something I'd expect.
