AlfredoE Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) I really like Angelico, I think he would be a star in WWE or TNA. I love LU and ROH on Sinclair, so its going to be interesting to see how both companies book Del Rio. He probably have better matches in ROH since they will be giving more time. I haven't watched this week yet, and thought he looked OK in the 4-way, but Angelico in IWRG was one of the worse wrestlers I have ever seen. He may have gotten better, but it could be smoke and mirrors Remember when he was in IWRG, even when all of us thought he sucked, a lot of us agreed that with his look and his style that we thought he'd get at least a look from WWE or TNA. I think he does well in tag team/trios matches doing his big dive and knee strikes & kicks. They found the right tag team partner for him in Jack Evans. EDIT: I think Angelico will do well in LU since most of their matches are kept short or they'll be some type of multi-person matches, so he won't be over-exposed. Edited February 6, 2015 by AlfredoE
Robert Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 It has to be Goro! I really have no idea who they could have for that gig. Cage would have been the obvious choice but they went in a different direction. Maybe Hernandez but I would consider that a huge letdown.
AlfredoE Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I think its Hernandez. Unless they're building him up as the "King of The Dark Matches" with all those dark matches he's wrestled. I think Famous B's next gimmick is going to be him wrestling with one-arm as an homage to the one-armed samurai/swordsman movies that the El Rey Network keeps showing....then it will end when Pentagon Jr. breaks his other arm.
thecubsfan Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Trying to sidestep thru spoilers, but Hernandez did make TV by the end of the last set of tapings. Seemed like he had a role that would preclude him from being the monster in the basement, though you never know for sure with this show. Maybe a better thing to guess is: when are we actually going to SEE the monster? My hunch was he wouldn't show up until the end of this season (first week of August), but it'd be a shame to put all that build into him and not have him be a major participant. And there's no guarantee they'll be picked up for season 2 and no sense in holding anything back. Maybe it's not that far away?
Tromatagon Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Yuck. Murder Clown would work so great but then he wouldn't be Murder Clown. Maybe Uro Rocker?
HumanChessgame Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 So I figure it's high time I got around to watching this show. Where's a good starting point? Are there any episodes in particular I should check out?
Mistah Na1m4rk Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I'd suggest starting from the beginning and just working your way through, there aren't that many episodes and you'll get a feel for the overall product. 1
Tromatagon Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 If youre going to the tapings today say hello. I'll be the giant man with the shaved head and black button up that looks like my avatar
MGFanJay Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Dug this week's show quite a bit - http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/101-mexico/41080-lucha-underground-tv-report-mundo-vs-cage Went on a marathon since they removed the first 9 eps from on demand, so I recorded them all and got some great shots. 1
Tromatagon Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 you guys realllly gotta fix the mobile version of this site so we can post photos. Fuck.
Tromatagon Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I've never felt so much at home in my life. We got some pretty sweet fucking seats. If you're going to leave King Cuerno's hat around, I'm going to take a selfie with it. 6
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 The main thing I got from that last show was how much they got accomplished. It, by my count, got over like 9 things.
Tromatagon Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 In an hour of TV. Raw is three hours and gets like two things really over most weeks
Robert Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Because on RAW only one guy (Cena) & one angle (whatever HHH/Stephanie are involved in) matter. Everything else is interchangeable. 1
thecubsfan Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I was hiding in the section to your right, I think. In an hour of TV. Raw is three hours and gets like two things really over most weeksRaw touches on a lot of things, but most of them don't change much from show to show because the PPV or the raw after are the only times they feel like advancing anything. People want Lucha Underground to have PPVs for reasons, but right now it's great they do not. There's no pressure to wait for a certain date to advance a story, every match moves something forward. Sometimes it's very obvious, sometimes it doesn't leap out until later, but the matches all have a point and are never just there to fill time. Maybe that's the one hour thing, but it's also a bit of a focus thing.Speaking of things that don't make sense until later: is Angelico actually a rudo on this show? Watching him last night, it seemed that his arrogance wasn't an accidental vibe but something he was doing on purpose. I assumed he was playing the same role as in AAA but that may have been a bad assumption.
Tromatagon Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Man all I noticed last night about him is the guy was playing with his junk constantly. I think he has a problem
Mistah Na1m4rk Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Aw man, I want a selfie with King Cuerno's ceremonial headpiece.
Mistah Na1m4rk Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Man all I noticed last night about him is the guy was playing with his junk constantly. I think he has a problem Aztec temples were notorious for ringworm. Some anthropologists believe many Aztec priests were more fungus than man.
Tromatagon Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Well that's nicer than my Mexican ring rat theory
Curt McGirt Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Great, now the Pandora's Box of CMLL vs. AAA ring rats just opened up in my head, thanks a lot.
Mistah Na1m4rk Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Shouldn't they be called Lucha Lizards?
Tromatagon Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Meltzer was talking about Chyna wanting to come in. Totally Matanza, you guys.
Ryan Faulconer Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Edit: Ooops - this should probably go in the other folder...unless Myzteziz is coming to Lucha Underground. I haven't seen Myzteziz since he was in WWE so I have a question to ask. Did he take all the steroids in the lockerroom back with him to AAA or was he that jacked in WWE and he just didn't stand out in the land of the freaks? It has been ten years already since his great year in 2005 CMLL. Yikes.
Hail Sabin Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 This week's episode was another good episode and I look forward to things that will develop from this episode.
