The Official Lucha Underground(Season 2)on El Rey Discussion

[Bryan Danielson]

WOOOOOOOO

Ok brehs..... I am completely caught up with EVERY ep and also been reading threw this thread (I'd read up on the discussion between each eps at a time so I could stay on track)...... still stand by everything I said.

But man... show is incredible.... I love everything about the show.

I heard some peeps question it not being live or want it to, but I think its better this way for productional reasons. Also, I LOVE how when the backstage shyt, Stryker and Vampiro and the crowd.... no BELIEVERS never so example like when Catrina announced the contenders for that 3 way.... people seem legitimately surprised or in past eps after we saw some deal Dario made that the arena peeps aint seen. When he comes out to announce it its like everyone has a genuine reaction.

I love have everything seems dirty, dangerous, and creepy.

I love the tension that lingers in atmosphere at ALL times.

I love the commentating.... Stryker and Vamp may just be the best in the game. Nothing is being fed, they not doing "forced arguements, forced shooting the dozens, forced I need to shyt on you" shyt that you see in the E. I like that it really feels like they are both "genuinely enjoying the product, calling the matches, and each others friendship", and when they do disagree its just on the level of two friends disagreeing and not trynna be disrespectful and drop the lowest blow. Also, with the occasional "GDammits" and "shyts" aka the cursing, its cool how they really put over talent in a more authentic way. They talk about the match being aired, not putting over the main event later in the night, not putting over the headlining thing, not trynna sale you on some apps, merchandise, other programming, or etc. No they keep 100% focus on whats at hand.

I love the interactions with the fans and the "up close and person" way they do it is a cool touch... reminds me of some old WCW shows where there was no fence and the crowd was right there.

I love the way the temple is used and the design of it

Theres nothing more I can say about the talent than whats already been said.... its cool seeing how EVERYONE practically has something to bring to the table and its not "chore" to get behind them.

Man I regret I wasnt watching this show when I had El Ray and from the beginning but I do feel extremely thankful that a couple of yall put me on and woke me the fukk up with watching this.

Thank you for letting me finally be a part of this "family of BELIEVERS" and I will be here with yall every week this airs. Not missing a beat. Though if I cant watch it live I may have to wait for it to upload but be that as it may... I will be here.

One thing though... reading all through the thread, I'm surprised not one of yall ever commented on Drago and that "tongue" shyt he does backstage and coming to the ring?

Man WTF is that??? And how does he do that? Its cool that they keep the mystery on that... cuz I swear I be looking to see is he spitting something out... or etc but they always cut the camera away after he does it

Oh yea... one more thing.....

I remember early on some of yall was like "I wish they had a secondary title"

I loved the development of the "Gift of the Gods" belt and how low key that is essentially both their secondary title and "money in the bank" type thing at the same time. Its gonna be interesting seeing how peeps will always want the title but those who cant get that will go after the next most important title to achieve their dreams. Or cats that may have had a shot and lost it will not have to fight the champion of this to get it back. This is gonna take them so many places as they can do so much with that. And when the title is "cashed is" all the medallions are distributed again on some DBZ shyt and have to be collected..... this shyt is really some DBZ shyt with the collection of the Dragonballs to grant that one WISH!

I dont think no one even realized the parallels and levels of this shyt

Lowkey the Gift of The Gods belt looks better than the top title. Probably not even lowkey

Dario Cueto is an awesome performer. He has the potential to become a better non-wrestling personality than Vince, Bischoff, Heenan or even Heyman. fukking kills it whenever he's on screen.

He already passed Bischoff and Heenan, would say Vince too cuz all Vince does now is just rely on overly smiling, dumb expressions, and screaming.... I would say he needs an overhaul but since he only comes in now in spurts... its a moot point. Heyman is dope, but his gimmick is getting kinda Though I will admit, he does tell a great story and executes better than anyone in the E doing "that style" but its mainly making big speeches to a large crowd. Dario is killing it on the backstage one one one scenes when its a little bit more tight and condensed. I get more of a story from his interactions with the LU talent than I get from the same ol bland "Paul talking to Steph/Vince only to eventually get bytched" shyt thats been done for years.

It feels good to watch a show where u see new characters literally everyweek and THE BLACK WRESTLERS ACTUALLY WIN MATCHES.

Not only win, but win strongly and convincingly and dont have to do some silly "laugh at them not with them" shyt to entertain

Johnny Mundo and King Cuerno fighting up the steps after their draw and them "running out of time, goodnight everybody".

shyt makes me feel like I'm watching "wrasslin'" again.

Melissa Santos bad than a mutha.

I just did a deal where I prepaid three months of Sling TV and got a Roku 2 for free.

https://www.sling.com/roku

I already get LU crisp on my Xbox One, now I'll be able to kick back and catch it on my bedroom television, as well.

If you don't want it, sell it for 40-50 profit, essentially getting three months of Sling TV and El Rey Network for 10 or so bucks.

need to be sleep. Sun all shining and shyt.... I'm awake watching this stuff.

waiting on that INEVITABLE match between Angelico and Mundo. Styles and personalities mesh too perfectly.

Melissa Santos killing me with these sideways glances at the wrestlers when she's introducing them. These other broads need to take notes.

Sexy Star really reminds me of wrestlers from GLOW in the 80s, but whatever. It's cool what she represents.

Alberto Del- El Patron. Mexican Bruce Wayne. The only wrestler in my personal history that I became an ultra fan of simply because he thoroughly destroyed a wrestler that I hated. Despite his super push, I can really see how underutilized he was/is in WWE and it's only his 2nd or 3rd ep there. Nice match with Texano. Not knowing these wrestlers really goes a lot towards not knowing who will win or lose, but Striker stay dropping history while Vampiro stay dropping in-rnig experiences.

That Konnan montage was krrraaazzzay.

I make a joke about King Cuerno's deer crown, he shows up rocking a cowboy hat. Still looks ridiculous, STILL makes it work!
