Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2016 I love when Vampiro loses his shit on commentary and jumps out of his chair and runs around in excitement. It's so cool to see something so genuine from a commentator. He did it after that close two count on the roll up by Ivelisse. What a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryko Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well that could not have been any better. Katarina looks better than she did last season. Everything about that episode was perfect...until the end. PENTAGON F****N JR!!!! He made it better than perfect. CERO MIEDO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I never thought that in 2015/16 that Vampiro would be one of my fav onscreen characters, I already had a soft spot for him and his bullshit but didn't think he'd ever be a major player on a TV show. Everything about this episode was great, I felt like a kid getting all excited at every little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2016 Another thought, they're clearly building up to Catrina vs Ivelisse at some point. That'll be mental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yay!! It's back and what a fucking opener . Was just wow from the Vampiro start to the Mantanza end. Lu has authority figures that you give a shit about, commentators get fucking epic promos and despite the crazy its all logical and progressive storylines. Lost my shit when Ivelisse got two! women and men always are equal in Lu with both main women's wrestlers having high profile matches. Best wrestling show, possibly ever if this keeps up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2016 Right. Clearly, I need to get in on this. I haven't watched much wrestling in a few years now, and this sounds like the perfect way to get back to it. I take it it's available in all the usual places for people without access to the TV channel they're on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I just re-watched the opening 5 minutes. That must be the most well produced bit of "pro wrestling footage" I've ever scene. The quality of cameras and camera-work, the sets, the direction, colour-grade, everything! If you replaced the flashbacks shots of Vampiro with streetfighting scenes instead of wrestling clips, it would look just like the start of some action or martial arts movie. It's such a brilliant contrast to the overbearing amount of reality TV style crap you get in WWE and TNA. There's no-one getting the piss ripped out of them for laughs, no-one breaking character to be cool, virtually everyone has a purpose for being there and most of the roster are cool as fuck. That opening bit made Vampiro look like a fucking badass killer and made Striker look like his cool, handsome buddy. Just to be clear, that's fat, bullshitting Vampiro and creepy Matt Striker for crying out loud! Looking badass and cool!? This show can make anyone great!

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2016 Also I loved Mil Muertes in his throne. I hope he's there all the time. He's like Shao Khan. And Cuernos fucking swish white suit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2016 There's not a lot to add at this point! That Vampiro scene to open was fucking incredible. Funny how much he looks like Kane these days. As mentioned, it could have been the opening to any top TV show. It looked incredible and the acting was superb. The rest was much more the traditional wrestling show. They continue to beautifully bridge a gap between Lucha and US wrestling. Some of the lucha aspect are my least favourite bits of the show. the blatant co-operation and the setting up of moves before they happen. That's a very small complaint though for a show that is well booked, well shot, has relentless action interspresed with tremendous vignettes that never feel like a waste of time. I lost track half way through the last series but through the vignettes and the commentary I felt like I'd caught up on everything before it happened to the point where nothing was confusing. They have plenty of side angles running but the title is always the focus. Mil Muertes sitting and surveying his territory. Fenix and Cuerno scrapping for a shot. Havoc, Angelico and Ivelisse immediately putting friendship aside because a title shot is bigger. Puma making it his business to be involved and then Pentagon Jr. arriving to stake a claim. It's how it should be. We all want a shot, you sort out the order in which we get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhennessey Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 And Cuernos fucking swish white suit too. Its a small touch but I love that fact he dresses like a Mexican Rancher, adds to the outdoors man/hunter gimmick so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Finally getting on Lucha Underground, up to episode 4. How I've not got on to this sooner I don't know, it's freaking awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
