That’s the one thing I’m really thankful about Lucha Underground, they made me really rethink how I look at wrestling.
Matches where “one guy who’s supposed to be the top pushed guy who squashed and dominates EVERYONE” are no longer entertaining to me. And you can’t build your ROSTER up like that and shouldn’t sacrifice all the talent for the sake of 1-5 guys.
Johnny Mundo, Ricochet, Mil Muertes, Fenix, Pentagon, Matanza were ALL able the be established as top stars without having to destroy their roster and make them look like jokes.
Okada who is a dominate world champ can have a match against the equivalent of a 205 guy and both can come out looking great.
I know a lot of people kinda have this “well AEW needs to conform to THIS to make their product more digestible to the mainstream audience” but I think maybe the mainstream maybe needs to open up a bit and maybe change their diet for this.
Just like I’m fine with mixed men vs women matches. Pentagon vs the Black Lotus Clan goes down as one of my alltime favs
