Lucha Libre Thread - AAA, CMLL, & the rest of the masked lads

[I Bent My Wookie]

I don't know if its time to get Dom not wearing the bodysuit, because in regular tights he would look too much like hes cos playing Eddie, but I actually wouldn't mind him with the belt. It'd add a sense of arrogance to his persona if he is lauding over RAW as the best in all of Mexico and the truest Intercontinental champion they've had.

Pedantry Corner: nope, because whilst Mexico is Latin America, it's still part of North America.

I mean from a storyline perspective is Dom dumb enough to get it incorrect though?

Yes, zombie thread bump, but AAA has not had a bad episode yet and Rey de Reyes is shaping up to be a belter.

Undertaker for booker of the year.

Let's not go overboard but, yes, AAA is a very enjoyable watch.

A few WWE tropes have started creeping in which is understandable but annoying, however the fact it is an hour makes it a nice easy watch.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, and for linking to the Twitter cesspit but...

 

[DavidB6937]

Is the old stuff streaming anywhere? Who owns the library?

If it does come back I hope Tony doesnt own it. He cant cope with another one to juggle surely.

[NeverYield]

Interesting. Lucha Underground was the bollocks.

[RIDDUM_N_STYLE]

If it’s a comeback, I wonder how it’ll effect MLW since they tried to resurrect the gimmick with Azteca Underground even down to having El Jefe himself Dario Cueto running things under a different name

[Arch Stanton]

I'm buzzing for this announcement. Even if it's just the original stuff coming to streaming.

Not gonna lie lads, genuinely punched the air with delight when I saw that clip. Currently doing a re watch thanks to the fact that I downloaded all the seasons from archive website, about to start season 2. It's still as refreshingly brilliant as it was 11 years ago.

Would be interesting how it works if it is being brought back what with the original cast all moved on but still very, very exciting news....... And King Cuerno is on the hunt for work as of last night so that's a start🤔🤔.

I think it'd be better with a new cast and a fresh start. As long as they have Dario it doesn't matter.

I think a return is unlikely but if so I'll be there for it. Seasons 1-3 were incredible. Season 4 was the drizzling shits though. They never recovered from the budget cuts and losing that brilliant Boyle Heights location.

Who isn't linked to a top company that could be used? I'm guessing there's zero work with AAA this time around, I'd personally mark out like a kid if they got Killshot in somehow...

Karrion Kross and Scarlett would be lock ins.

I wouldn’t be shocked if he did - I could see Tony Khan being absolutely fine with some of his wrestlers appearing to help establish new faces, especially if it’s in the form of what only really amounts to cameo appearances. 

Having said that, I’d love to see Hechicero play a significant role in a revived LU, he’d have fit perfectly in the original. Mortos is another. He’s not doing much in AEW, but he could be a real asset for LU.
