A few thoughts -
Weapon X looks absolutely brutal. Someone needs to cop that in the 'E, stat.
Son of Havoc is now the biggest babyface in all of LU.
It was nice seeing Texano and Alberto, but that match needed time. The finish almost seemed like it was rushed.
The inevitable turn Konnan is going to have on Puma is probably the best slow-burn I've seen in forever. WWE should take note.
Good job by the bookers/writers/producers/whatever in making the monsters look like monsters. Big Ryck is so much better than Zeke ever could have been, Mil Muertes wrestles and acts like the most brutal man on earth, and Cage looks like a sadistic, unstoppable bully. Simply put, the faces know how to sell, and always look like they're in peril, and the heels look like straight up murderers.

I hear people keep saying how it is a real alternative to the wwe or how it's a breath of fresh air. For me, I see it as finally getting a good wrestling show on my tv screen.
It may not be perfect(I am sick of no rules street fights for plot convenience) but in totality it is a very good show. It's a lot of things i like in wrestling.

I like the show ,but the gimmick matches every week are getting ridiculous. I guess not seeing this as a wrestling show but a TV show centered around wrestling (sounds strange I know) that the constant gimmick matches doesn't bother me much. They aren't going for the typical build for the most part so going straight for the gimmicks makes more sense to me. I got no real problem with them using gimmick matches since they add some new layers to them. My beef is that they gone from doing shows with straight up wrestling matches to 2 to 3 gimmick matches a show. Now I get they are being used to advance and/or end feuds but I would like to see some change up. Otherwise we just wait for a blinged ladder and an exploding steel cage piranha deathmatch to go down.

Hey I liked the exploding steel cage piranha deathmatch, and the Tables, Ladders, and Cerveza plus the exploding casket match was interesting

I just want LU to move pass being the lucha version of them.

Ah yes! So dope to see the Mack in LU. really looking forward to the trios tounament too.
Mundo vs Angelico should be a very interesting match. Both dudes are agile as heck so I'm expecting something fun.

They should've saved that for this week and let it go a little longer. Ya they did a great faceturn with Son of Havoc, he's really become a crowd fave.

I know we have called Big Ryck Slick Ryck but that look reminds me of Dr. Dre from California Love

If the Mack doesn't come out to this song, I will be severely disappoint.

To me, the double main event had more of a big-show feel to it, which is important to do now since they probably can't do a successful ppv at this early stage. That's a really random team (not Ryck's).

I want Sexy Star and Ivelisse on my Trios Team. We won't win any matches, but I will enjoy the after match abuse by Ivelisse.

Recap of everything so far. Slyck Ryck got a new crew. Killshot sounds like a 90's Image anti-hero. Daddy Mack? LOL, Dario got jokes. Mexican Lemmy loves lucha. Mundo vs Angelico was fun and flippy. Angelico going toe to toe with Johnny is needed after his lost to SOH. El Drago Azteca? Kill Bill starring Ninja Detective Angelica Fong. She was going to kill the monster in the basement but got stopped so she can train to kill him. Huh? Mundo vs Alberto in the horizon. Alberto awfully cocky. Drago vs Aerostar was a fun lucha spotfest. Birth of the Odd Couple Trio. Willie Mack, bitches. No mention of Pentagon and Sexy Star's history with each other. And the crowd would cheer Pentagon if he broke a blind and crippled kid's arm. Keeping naming off every black wrestler to describe Mack, Striker. The main event was basically Mack vs Pentagon for the first half. Solid match.

Loved the Pentagon and Mack interaction during the main event, though I felt Vamp and Striker undersold Mack's POUNCE.

She stated during the promo and montage that if she had tried to kill the monster then, she would have been slaugtered by him. El Drago Azteca kidnapped her before it was too late so he could train her so that she could actually have a chance to slay the beast.
