Paid Members gadge Posted May 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2017 I've been to York Hall for it in previous years. The Saturday evening shows have been quite busy. The shows are more of an artistic spectacle than built around high work rate matches. It's interesting to go to but not must see wrestling.

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted May 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2017 A good description (that I think came from Linus) of Lucha Libre World shows is that they are basically "the latest attempt to market lucha to hipsters as art", rather than being a traditional 'wrestling' show. It's more about soaking in the culture etc. I've enjoyed similar events that were held at the Roundhouse in Camden in about 2008 or so. On this show you'll get a few 'genuine' Mexican luchadors, some with big names like El Hijo Del Santo and Silver King, and some independent dudes, as well as a few matches involving the Lucha Britannia crew underneath (probably a women's match and a multiway men's bout). I'm at least planning on attending the one at Albert Hall in Manchester on the Thursday of the tour (which then takes in York Hall, Bethnal Green on the Friday and Saturday) before heading to the 'Lucha Forever' show in Liverpool the next day (which isn't really lucha at all, but is a good laugh).

Thanks for that It's the Albert Hall one I'm going too just wanted to gauge what there shows were like as there doesn't seem to be much wrote about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted May 31, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2017 Remember, folk: Lucha Underground is back tonight, starting to show the rest of the Season 3 episodes.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 1, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 1, 2017 I just watched it. It was, of course, fucking brilliant. Incredibly creative, full of crazy shit, brilliant dramatic booking and just fun. Lucha Underground is basically the perfect wrestling show when it's on point (and it regularly is). So happy this is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Exactly what LaGoosh just said. What a fun episode, so glad it's back! One spot in particular made me say "holy fucking shit!" out loud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Got to agree, great way for the show to return, going to the indies has done wonders for Johnny Mundo/Morrison's career and that may be one of the best matches Da Mack has had in LU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 1, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 1, 2017 It's been such a long break, I tried to remember all the outstanding stories to catch up on. Please add any that I've forgotten: - Pentagon Dark is out of action with broken arms. - Jeremiah is in love with Ivelisse. - Dante Fox and Killshot have a feud going on...not sure where this was left off. - Matanza chokeslammed El Dragon Azteca through the stands, then Rey backdropped him through the roof. - Drago is under the control of Ember Moon and the Lizard Twins. - Someone is sending Sexy Star dead spiders. - Vampiro has taken on Prince Puma as his protege in his feud with Mil Muertes, not sure where this was left off. - Joey Ryan has offered his services as an undercover cop to Dario Cuerto. - Cage is in possession of some kind of ancient gauntlet that gives him super strength. No idea what Marty The Moth, his sister, Famous B and The White Rabbit are up to. Bloody hell look at all that mad shit, LU is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Sexy Star battered Marty's sister in a match thinking she was the one sending the spiders, not sure if that was the end of a mini-feud or she was a red herring for that story. Then after the match Marty came out and chokeslammed his sister. So that's where they are right now. And last I remember, Mil Muertes attacked Vampiro and did his finisher in the ring as Puma watched on. Vampiro instructed him not to help him.

Philjax Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 If I were ever going to show a non-fan an episode of wrestling tv this would be as good an example as I could offer up. Just a great story the whole way through with some ludicrous spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
