Brian Fowler Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Luchasaurus is big and athletic and looks good in short bursts. He should be a really fun hot tag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I think something to consider also is for Luchasaurus it's essentially a fresh start for him. So he may have shit the bed in LU (I liked what I saw on TV) but that might not be something that people will know about him. Pairing him with Jungle Boy should work to hide his limitations as he's not somebody I would have in a singles run anyway (see his ROH matches as an example) Plus he's so damn wacky looking that he can get by with that for a good while. Or, you can run with what Brian said said as I got ninja'd while posting this. Edited June 28, 2019 by NikoBaltimore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I’m going in with an open mind with that team. I haven’t seen enough of either. But one thing I’ve seen enough of, and enjoyed have been big man & little man teams. So I’m going in with prior expectations.

AxB Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 They uploaded the show opening to YouTube. I don't know why, but they did. Seems a bit odd to be watching it more than 24 hours before the show starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Impact does the same thing. "Their passion will create an energy that will infuse your soul, an energy that declares 'Let's live forever.'" Fuck me. Are they promoting a wrestling show or BlueChew or religion or what? Talk about a hard sell. For shits and gigs, here's Impact's. If you stick around till the end, you can hear Josh Matthews slip an extra syllable into Slammiversary.

tbarrie Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Somewhat off-topic, but am I the only who can't hear a reference to Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy without thinking of Bigfoot and Wild Boy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flair’s Shadow Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I think we are going to see MJF/Jericho vs Jungle Boy/Luchasaurus at Fight for the Fallen. Jericho is going to try to cost Hangman Page the match in the 4-way tomorrow night but Luchasaurus will get in the way of Jericho’s plan with MJF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) From the same school I got mine from, no less.

tbarrie Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It was admittedly pretty obscure. I think. I was young enough when it was on that I didn't really have my finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist. The only thing I actually remember about the show is one scene where some evil scientist or hunter or something has Wild Boy in a cage, and he monologues something like "Never in my wildest dream did I think there could be such a thing a Wild Boy". Which even as a kid struck me as an odd line, because, I mean - he's a Boy that's Wild. It's not that mindblowing a concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Well if what WNBB quoted is actually part of that video, then it's the same overly dramatic bullshit everyone shits on WWE for producing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Everyone shits on WWE's dramatic hype videos? I don't even think anyone here comments on them much less shits on them. Hell, I can't even think of a video WWE does that similar to that AEW opening. EDIT: If anything, WWE has been missing cool videos to open PPVs. When was the last time they even did a "showcase of the immortals" type of video? Edited June 29, 2019 by Craig H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a transcript? I love the WWE’s opening videos. You know the “Then, Now, Forever”(At least the Disney-like previous one, the new one is ehhhh), even though the “Forever” thing gets under my skin knowing how much they have a strangle hold on this genre.
