paltaper Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Just announce for Dos legends on 03/18/16: -Negro Casas vs Volador Jr. (hair vs hair) -Maximo vs. Rush (hair vs hair) I'm a few weeks behind but Rush/Maximo has come out of nowhere right? i thought we were heading for Rush/Cibernetico. Both Hair matches will be infinitely better than a Thunder singles match. I don't know, did Ciber 'cross over' to a CMLL show yet? Maybe he did a couple of Fridays ago. Defo, these matches be better! The build to big matches is often non existent these days. It's really sad. They usually only give a few weeks, if that, to 'heat up' a match wheras they used to build up stuff pretty well long term. Strangely, they keep doing the old school build with, of all people, Thunder - then he drops out just before the match takes place. Nobody can understand Thunder. Yes, he is married to Satanico's daughter but even with those ties his push is bizarrely strong. I have no idea what else he can do for them unless he's got some scandalous photos of the boss or something. I mean, surely they can get steroids easily enough without importing from Oz? I think Thunder might be the worst Luchador I've ever seen. For example, the way he always looks back at where he's going to fall first says he's in the wrong business. Can't promo. Can't be depended on at all to turn up for a blow off match. Christ he's the shits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimo the great Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I don't know, did Ciber 'cross over' to a CMLL show yet? Maybe he did a couple of Fridays ago. Defo, these matches be better! The build to big matches is often non existent these days. It's really sad. They usually only give a few weeks, if that, to 'heat up' a match wheras they used to build up stuff pretty well long term. I don't know if he's fully crossed over but he's had some fun relevos increibles matches on CMLL shows. Rush really brings the hate to him. Ciber's looked better in CMLL than he's looked in AAA for years, he's never going to be called good but i am strangely looking forward to Rush/Ciber. I didn't know about him being with Satanico's daughter. Do they need help getting roids in mexico? i thought you went to mexico for roids? Edit: i didn't mean to post them as vids. i guess you don't have to use the [media] thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think LU is just in a holding pattern while we wait for Mil to 'recover' from his injury and for Mysterio to debut. There's also no Sexy Star wrestling and a bit too much PJ Black already. Most of season 1 was being introduced to new characters, mainly whom we knew nothing about (save for the few who watch Mexican wrestling regularly). It also had the ongoing highly compelling story of the Trios champs. And of course Dario. It'll pick up. Ladder match next week. That'll be the kickstarter because whoever wins is going to demand their title shot shortly thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I'm enjoying the build up of guys from all sides putting Mil in their crosshairs, he might be an unstoppable monster but the numbers game could easily change that. I'm personally hoping that Pentagon JR ends up being the one to dethrone him in a hellacious hardcore style match, not unlike the one with Vampiro and we've seen that Mil can go in those enviroments.

I think in Puebla vs. Rush he did it a few times. The shits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Ofcourse they're charging. They'll be out of business in weeks if they just give it away. You'll have to change your region to the US store too, the only thing relating to it on the UK store is the LU Afterbuzz Podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philjax Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 A show of two halves this week. The first being a rushed set of angles/non-matches (including a contender for worst LU match ever between Sexy Star and Kobra Moon - good god what a poor addition to the roster) and too many vignettes, none of which added much. The second being a well paced stunt match - the type we all started loving LU because of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPumaPants Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I feel that LU is really missing Dario Cueto. He's a fantastic character, and it just seems a bit empty with him gone. That said, it also feels like everything is moving a lot slower than Season 1, but we are only 6 episodes in. I expect things will pick up at/after Aztec Warfare.I've recently seen a picture of a man named Gronda/Gronda XXX/Groon XXX, and a few other varieties. I've only managed to find one match of his though, competing in a trios match against another Gronda. He looks the business, but I'd like to see if he can do the business in the ring. Anyone know where the best place to look would be? (obviously, I've tried YouTube etc). It's a shame he's retired, I think he'd fit in nicely with LU.

Imagine the worst wrestler you've ever seen, inject him with steroids and put a devil mask on him. That's Gronda. Talking of shit wrestlers, I saw Shane Strickland - aka Lucha Underground's Killshot - 3 times over the weeke3nd. He was ace. What is it about putting on the Killshot mask that makes him so bad???
