Thing with Russo is, he wouldn't know the names you mentioned. He would bring in eye candy and WWE castoffs, and put them through angles that would have us begging for all Bella Twins all the time. A lot of the roster are former WWE workers or have spent time in developmental so it shouldn't be a strike against any females they bring in as long as they're trained wrestlers.

Potential spoiler: {Spoiler}{Spoiler} With his exit from WWE, Rey Mysterio is expected to join LU as the guy who brought Prince Puma to Konnan. They don't have a deal yet but that has been the plan since the start of LU.

Thankfully there's enough other stuff going on that I don't have to pay attention to it if I really don't want to.

Puma's top rope ssp onto cage on the outside was amazing and I love that Mundo is incorporating more parkour type moves into his aresenal. he did some kind of side roll dive that was really cool.

OH SHIT. IT'S VINCE RUSSO!!!
I'm only on episode 4 but I'm loving this show. A breath of fresh air compared to how stale mainstream wrestling has gotten. It's like someone remembered that wrestling, at the end of the day, is supposed to be...fun. Not by just saying fun a million times but by actually having the product be fun.
I do have one complaint. Matt Striker is freaking terrible. He sucked in WWE and he sucks here. He's got that Mike Tenay cornball factor where he's good at explaining moves but it's impossible to take anything he says as genuine.

is there a way to (legally) watch this online? Get Sling TV - it's only $20 a month, and you get El Rey, ESPN, AMC and other such cable channels in an over-the-top WWE Network style service. I believe Lucha Underground is available on demand on that service.

Sexy Star is Lucha Underground's Mary Sue. Alberto didn't bring the Wheel of Aggression from WWE with him. I thought Alberto's biggest foe was the ring bell. Mil Muertes is getting wider. Rosita ring announcer is hot. That hurracarana by Fenix was more like a piledriver. Mil beating the brakes off Fenix's ass like dude is Trey Songz. Vampiro wants Mil to kill Fenix. Alrighty then. Both dudes got the fever for the flavor of Catrina. Mil needed a big win and got it tonight. Catrina is smitten by Fenix. Yikes moment by Mil when he was choking her. Catrina came close to giving Mil head. And Fenix just tasted Mil. Guess he's into that. Serg sold Lucha Underground one of his songs. Please don't let Konnan wrestle. Angelico is so chill and Son of Havok is pussy whipped. Alberto trying to teach Puma about aggression. So meta. Slyk Ryck doesn't get an entrance but Maria Susana does. "She's so sexy."? Ugh. Why does Sexy Star wants revenge vs the Crew? She already beat them. Slyk Ryck said she ain't worth it and pinned her like child throwing a tantrum. For a title that is only couple of years old, the Mega title is old looking. I see the gag order is in effect because Alberto didn't make claim of racism this time. Burn on TNA. Alberto killed someone with his scarf. LOL El Stripper Texano is ready for bachelorette parties. Alberto wrestling with a t-shirt on? Wait a minute? Is Striker trying to say Alberto going back to AAA is going down the ladder? Da f***, man?! Very solid match between Patron and Texano. Alberto busting out the babyface offense. Alberto beat him like he stole his pesos. Cuerno looks pimping wearing that hat.

Serg sold Lucha Underground one of his songs. Yeah, that was a real "what the f***" moment for me.

I've managed to catch up over the past few weeks from the start. I really love the way they do their backstage promos, far and away it's the most refreshing thing about the company.
I will say some of the recent booking decisions have left me a little cold though. I'm not exactly sure why I'm supposed to care about the AAA Title feud between El Patron and Texan. It probably would have helped if trhey debuted Texan before El Patron, so at least we would have had that familiarity with him before the feud started. There have also been a lot of shmozz finishers recently that I'm not really digging.
I still enjoy the show more than I have problems with it. But I pray the Russo thing doesn't come to surface. It's the last thing they needs.

They need to get some more female competitors, I'm tired of Sexy Star. If they are doing Intergender and women can compete for titles along with men, they need more than Star and Ivelisse.

Rey Rey just signed with AAA and looks like he may debuting with Lucha Underground sometime soon. Hopefully they don't go too over the top with Rey Mysterio as THE guy, because I enjoy dudes like Puma, Cage and newer faces being at the top.

I don't mind Rey being used on special occasions for big matches (preferably tag matches so the other guys can carry the load) and a non-wrestling, managerial role. But yeah, don't make him THE guy in the company. Otherwise you risk the TNA mistake of pinning everything on WWE guys.

Rey is too old to carry the show. Puma, Fenix, Drago, Aerostar, Pentagon Jr, Cuerno, and many others are not only fresher characters, but also younger performers.

But Sexy Star is the bestest, sexiest, smartest, strongest, womaniest woman who ever womaned. How can anybody get tired of the great and wonderful Sexy Star who is the bestest, sexiest, smartest, strongest, womaniest woman who ever womaned? That's just insane to not like Sexy Star who is the bestest, sexiest, smartest, strongest, womaniest woman who ever womaned.

Nah, I'm just joking around. I actually kind of like her, but also see the need for more female talent who can go.
