iPumaPants Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Â For what it's worth I agree with Paltaper that LU isn't Lucha and I don't like it.It's isn't Lucha. Which is why it's watchable.I agree with Rick. I have tried to watch CMLL and AAA, but I enjoy LU so much more, because it's less...clusterfucky. I suppose knowledge of the Spanish language would probably help in understanding exactly what is going on, but to me (and I do try to get it) it's just random. Everything feels so random.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 12, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2016 Loads of Lucha isn't cluserfucky. There's fnatastic mat wrestling exhibitions, some of the greatest brawls anywhere - It's not just dives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be the first to admit that I don't completely understand the rules of (true) Lucha Libre, as opposed to 'Westernised' wrestling that I'm used to, but for me, a lack of tagging, during the insane amount of multiman matches, I feel, leads to matches that are somewhat hard to follow. Perhaps that is why I prefer LU, being the wrestling presentation that I'm used to with the excitement of 'lucha' style wrestling. Â My first real venture into AAA was TripleMania, last year. I want to say that it was enjoyable, but it wasn't. The singles matches were good, and watchable, but the 6 man tags are just tough to follow. Â Or perhaps I'm too simple?

Paid Members Linus Posted April 12, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2016 The rules of tagging in lucha are simple. You can tag, like in traditional tag-team matches, or you can leave the ring and be replaced. Whether or not it's your choice to leave the ring is another matter...

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted April 12, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2016 Gents, I'm sorry to be that prick, but I have never watched an episode of Lucha Underground as I really thought it was going to be like that Wrestling Society X gig, but am very, very curious now. Do I have to start at the start, or are there any matches anyone would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start from Aztec Warfare in season 1 onwards. As for matches go with:  Mil Muertes vs Fenix - Grave Consequences Prince Puma vs Johnny Mundo - All Night Long Son of Havoc, Ivelisse & Angelico vs The Crew Mil Muertes vs Prince Puma Pentagon Jnr vs Vampiro Mil Muertes vs Prince Puma Vs Pentagon Jnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I insist you watch it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPumaPants Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I insist you watch it all. Agreed. It starts slow, and some of it seems a little thrown together but my friend started on it the week after AW1, and I feel that I know more about the characters and such than he does. If you want to give it a proper go, watch from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 12, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2016 Here's a blast from a couple of years ago. From IWRG.  Black Terry and Negro Navarro vs Trauma I and II  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrdg0pJ_Ac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2016 Good LU episode this week. Daga/Texano and Killshort/Argenis were forgettable but that six man tag was ace! I'm hoping the Super Friends team of Rey/Dragon/Puma make it to the finals. They are great together. And Cage was a complete beast and almost true to his word came close to winning the match all on his own in the ending stretch. Â For next week there's the bad news that the Disciples Of Death are back but that is very much drowned out by MATANZA VS MIL FUCKING MUERTES!!!! They're going to destroy the entire building. I'm more excited for this than I was the entire Wrestlemania card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
