The Man Known as Dan Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Honestly, I think that was the beauty of this gimmick. Muertes can keep coming back. You say he can be Lucha Undergrounds Taker. I say he can be Lucha Undergrounds Jason. No matter what you do to him, just have him keep coming back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 In that case, screw it, have him come back in two episodes and wreck Fenix again! I'll watch. Have them bring the coffin back in with the "druids" carrying it and he breaks through it like Jason would through a door or a wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 We've seen Mesias survive being thrown in a volcano in AAA. Mil Muertes isn't going to go down that easily 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Belly to Belly suplex into the Casket was nasty as hell! I will for sure record the match and save it on my DVR when it replays Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin877 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Loved last night's show and I'm really digging watching it in HD via Sling TV. How are you liking Sling TV? I tried out the beta but it was kind of clunky on the Roku Otherwise: Wow , that match was AMAZING!!! What is everyone's consensus snowflake/star rating? MOTY Candidate?

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I've watched two episodes of Lucha Underground in full. I watched their version of the Royal Rumble and I watched last night's show because everyone I spoke to was raving about it. Basically, I need to start watching Lucha Underground every week because what I've seen so far is fucking great. Last night's show was so awesome and that's coming from someone who didn't even see the build to it. These video packages they do are pretty cool also. The casket match was CRAZY. I really liked Vampiro explaining to the audience about Día de Muertos. He's been great on color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidGoldBomb Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The Belly to Belly suplex into the Casket was nasty as hell! I will for sure record the match and save it on my DVR when it replays Wednesday. Yeah there were a few insane spots in that. The tope into the coffin, and whatever that DDT was that Muertes did off the top rope. The double stomp into the coffin. And everything in between, just banging his head into the railing. What a fuckin match! Definitely MOTYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Couldn't watch this yesterday due to Rey De Reyes (AAA competeing with itself!) but holy fuck... what a main event. Seriously. That's the kind of thing that really stands out to new viewers since you'll never see something like that in WWE. Fenix's selling was awesome and both guys tearing apart the entire arena was insane. Also loved the Aero Star/Drago opener but as Alberto would say... you already knew that. Aero Star is just the funnest guy to watch. He may not be the smoothest but nobody can top his creativity. I'll take an average match where I have no idea what to expect next any day over a great match that is entirely predictable and full of the same shit. I'm going to need actual psychological help if this show ever gets cancelled. It's gonna crush me. I am so addicted to watching this every week. Hope they don't take the summer off as originally planned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Speaking of shows being cancelled, what ever came of all the Vince Russo rumors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecubsfan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Did I reveal here that, when I went to Lucha Underground, they were kind enough to put my name on the VIP ticket list? They did this on the basis of me being a (goofball) person who was talking about Lucha Underground on the internet very loudly. Vince Russo was (is?) a (goofball) person who was talking about Lucha Underground on the internet very loudly. So they gave him VIP tickets. I think they were just being nice without really thinking about the reaction to that gesture. I think Vince Russo came as close to being a writer on the show as I did. (I did not come close.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Shit. I've been doing the same thing a lot lately. I think I need to start blogging on the show more instead of just talking about it on twitter a lot. But I did get Dario Cueto to retweet me. I was so happy. And Rob, they're saying the tapings this weekend will air in June so maybe the summer will be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I got Chris Dejoseph and Tejano to favorite/RT one of my tweets praising the show. It's amazing how something simple like that makes you feel like a happy motherfucka. That Grave Consequences match is something that anybody can get into. The Day of the Dead vibe instantly draws you in, and it leads to this wild brawl with great action. Top it off with the idea the loser is taken off to meet their maker and it just led to a ridiculously fun time. I love this show, I love the match, I love the people in it, I love Dejoseph for booking it. Aw, shit, I love everything about this. I'm going to show that match to some non-wrestling fans fairly soon and I hope they like it. Need to find the entrance as well with the DotD vibe to show first.

Tromatagon Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If anyone sees me at the tapings,say hello. My photo is in this thread, I'm 6'4", and hard to miss I'll be the one marking out for Bengala until Cuerno comes out to kill him (which seems like a natural storyline) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Holy shit you're right. How did I not put that together? The vignettes are going to be out of this world!

Tromatagon Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I tweeted to Cuerno about how good Bengala would look in his trophy room. He responded saying he agrees. I'm becoming twitterbros with the rudos so much you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I haven't seen the show before (no El Rey here). I liked Muertes/Fenix a lot, but the This Is Awesome chants were awful here. I don't mind it in spotfests or competitive technical matches, but in a nasty lucha blood feud blowoff where the technico appears to be being murdered in the ring, it doesn't belong. They deserved a crowd more like the one from Spud/ECIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecubsfan Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 No full list, Bengala (and Blue Demon Jr.) were just mentioned on Twitter as coming among people who haven't been regularly around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Aero Star, Fenix, Pentagon Jr., Super Fly & Jack Evans are all gonna be around too. Angelico too I think. Hope with everyone around they do another wacky multi-man match like the Aztec Warfare match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Otto Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 That main event was outstanding, not just in terms of wrestling, but more importantly, the whole presentation. It was a legit spectacle. I wasn't so high on Fenix and Mil Muertes in LU up until this match, which disappointed me since I have particularly always appreciated Mesias. But damn, I'm sold on both from here on out. Almost perfect from a high flyer working with a catcher standpoint. Mil Muertes is the man of a thousand deaths, and now they have actually established a premise where his character makes sense. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistah Na1m4rk Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Am I a good parent? Well I happened to walk by my 5 year-old daughter's bedroom yesterday while she was playing with her toys, and she had one of her dolls beating up another one while she growled, "Cero miedo!" So obviously the answer is yes. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
