This was a good show and it's great. However, it's being completely overated

Did Cody go on so early so that he could produce the second half of the PPV while the Bucks warmed up? I'm at the part where one of the Bucks woke Hangman Page up and that gave me the idea.

Watching through it..at the Tessa match now...of course shes great but what is this Hot Mess comedy? Lol

She was left on altar in a TNA storyline, so she went crazy. She left TNA around the time they started letting people keep their gimmicks and names after leaving so she's been going around the indies using that gimmick while waiting for a call from the E.

It was better than this last takeover
No, it was not. I will say a lot of the matches were good, but the only truly noteworthy match was Omega vs Pentagon. Main event would have been great too if they could have had the time they needed. Seems like Okada's sleep walking and Tiger Hattori not being able to take backstage directions fukked them up.

Purely of impact Cody winning the NWA Championship was the moment of the night though, even if the match itself was lackluster.

Listening to Bryan & Dave recap the show was hilarious when it came to the real indie people, knowing full well they don't follow the indies like that past Dave jumping in to PWG years after everyone else did :pachaha:

Neither one of them knew who Penelope Ford was before this show (Dave even mentioned never seeing her because she doesn't come to PWG with Janela) but they both agreed she was really talented based of her hitting her 2-3 spots cleaner than she's probably ever hit those spots in her life.

I liked ALLIN overall better

I mean there are 3 matches off gate I didnt really care for.

Ricochet the only one on the show that I'm really a big fan of.

VD vs EC3 was decent

I like TUE but dont give a shyt about MM so that match was meh

Ciampa vs JG.... good match but gotdamn isnt this like their 3 time doing this?

I noticed that too and I was gonna ask does anyone know about how the industry feels about or views LU.

I been people how no one ever acknowledges that no matter what place.

NXT never acknowledges Ricochett from there (thow I kinda understand that)

But Matt Cross (Son of Havoc)
Cage, Fenix, Pentagon.... this is REALLY how they hit the main stream and got a bigger name over the last 2 years. Cuz no one was really talking about them at the level we are now till LU and its crazy how they never get the proper shine or credit.

Just kinda weird

The impact of Lucha Underground in the pro wrestling world is incredibly underrated and ignored way too much. Look at this list of achievements:

Pushed Ricochet as its top face and developed his non-existent character work.
Revitalized the career of John Morrison.
Revived the career of Rey Mysterio Jr.
Turned Judas Mesias from TNA into one of the most legit monsters in wrestling today.
Popularized the likes of Fenix, Pentagon, Drago and Aerostar in the US (with Pentagon now being one of the top stars in the world).
Popularized tons of indie talent such as Willie Mack, Bryan Cage and Matt Cross.
Made inter-gender matches work.
Made Vampiro and Konnan relevant again (maybe too relevant since they'll be facing each other in the ring once more).
Gave Chavo Guerrero (arguably) the best match of his career.

And almost all the above was achieved by only two things: Great booking, and great wrestling!

And thats just a quarter of the contributions.

Not even talking about giving so called "rejects" like Catrina, Sami Callahan, Ivilesse a shot after they were shytted on elsewhere.... would at Jake Strong but would like to see where he goes from here

But yes, they've done so much for so many cats in so little time.

I mean hell, you go to LU your stock rises because they showcase you in the BEST light possible.
