Lack of interest in LU here makes me sad, really enjoying their shows right now. Agreed. I'm actually enjoying it more than RAW. For sure. They're doing really cool things with the ex WWE guys they have too, can't wait to see what they do with ADR. Plus, drago. Drago is the shit. |

Drago is great. So is Puma. I really think LU has found the right balance between gimmicks, compelling storylines, and great wrestling. It's cool to see the filmed cut-aways that have a cinematic vibe to them. I also love the fact that female wrestlers like Sexy Start and mini's like Mascarita Sacrada are taken seriously. |

I'm liking Lucha Underground. I like the production style they use. It's like I'm watching a cross between a TV novela on Univision and a wrestling show. My two favorites that I enjoy watching every time they're on are Drago and Sexy Star. The only thing I still dislike is that they changed El Hijo del Fantasma into King Cuerno and El Mesias into Mil Muertes. I feel in Mil Muertes's case, they could have still done that backstory they did with being a little kid and losing everything to an earthquake and not change his name. BTW, Catrina/Maxine, holy crap she's gorgeous! I don't mind that Ezekiel Jackson is in the show anymore, but I hate those shorts he wears. He should change his attire to jeans or pants. To me he doesn't look right with those shorts up. Johnny Mundo is great. I'm shocked that he wasn't injured when he did that spot last week jumping to the ring. Prince Puma is another guy that's great. I like that he has Konnan as a mentor, but Prince Puma doesn't seem much as a heel like Konnan. It's a great show to watch, it's sad that I don't have El Rey but luckily I have UniMas, so I get to watch it. One thing that still annoys me, which it's being nitpicky, but oh well, is whenever someone fights on the outside near Striker and Vampiro, they show Striker and Vampiro in the UniMas version. I think they should either switch Vampiro with someone like Artuto Rivera or change a different camera shot so whenever they go toward Striker and Vampiro, they don't show.

I've been enjoying Lucha Underground. I was really sad when AAA stopped being on Galavision. This is not the same, but it's still pretty cool. It's good to see some of the old faces/masks I hadn't seen in a few years.
With ROH now on TV near me, there are four different pro wrestling companies I'm watching shows from these days. Pretty good times!

i'm still enjoying Lucha Underground and someone who is standing out for me is Fenix and Drago because of his gimmick. I can't wait to see Fenix face Prince Puma since that will be an epic spot fest

I've been a fan of Drago ever since his days as El Gato Eveready. |

It's probably because I haven't been watching regularly. But after all the good comments on the show, I watched the three way ladder match and Fenix/Pentagon/Drago and was hugely disappointed. Looked really amateur(not the set up just everything else), wrestlers were waiting for spots, punches never connected and the booking in the ladder match was a huge WTF.

I didn't like Pent/fenix/drago either, too spotty and dance like for me. Loved the ladder match though, what didn't you like about the booking? |

Lucha Underground is a fantastic alternative. Hope it gets renewed but apparently the numbers aren't what El Rey were hoping for... would be a real shame to lose the show.
Big fan of Drago and Pentagon Jr. Unbelievable attire.

Show was great again this week. LU isn't getting nearly enough love. The important thing is that you enjoy the show. That's all that should matter to you. Heck I enjoy the hell out of the show. I enjoy that it doesn't feel like I'm watching another WSX or ROH. At first I was criticizing how the show was basically a California indy promotion with lucha libre in it because despite AAA being involved with this, I was seeing more non-AAA guys than AAA guys. Now, I don't care that there's barely any AAA feel in it cause the show's that good to me. It's something I can look forward to watching on Saturdays when I'm done from work. The only thing I still can't get behind is them changing El Mesias and El Hijo del Fantasma. I mean IMO they could have still done their character backgrounds under those names, especially with El Mesias. Other than that, everything about the promotion is great to me. |

I hear the ratings are not that good on El Rey, but are better on UniMas, which is where I watch Lucha Underground since I don't get El Rey. |

Love lucha underground so much, everyone is compelling and the matches are excellent, no silly comedy bits.

el Ray was randomly added to my cable so I'm finally checking out LU. I was really intrigued by the production quality of the non-wrestling segments. I'm surprised no one has done this before. What up with that weird raspy thing Matt Striker is doing with his voice? The commentating I'd my only complaint and it really isn't that bad.
I'm a lucha fan, it's unfortunate that it isn't more popular in this country. Literally anything would be better than WWE dominating wrestling, but that's what the people seem to want. The comment
