Hernandez is gone from LU because he's working for that All Elite show at Arena Mexico on Sunday, which is affiliated with CMLL. So essentially he's working with AAA's competitors, so he's been cut. I'd be more concerned with Ricochet, aka Prince Puma, going back to Dragon Gate all of a sudden. According to CIMA, Ricochet is only in Dragon Gate for a short run like a couple of weeks. Hernandez is putting much done in Lucha Underground before the All Elite booking. If LU does a season 2, I see them relying more on the AAA Luchadores and local Cali talent with almost no outside fly ins.

The American name wrestlers were really just a hook to get people to keep watching. That said, I would hate to see them lose Mundo, he's such a great talent in the ring who's character is really starting to take shape. But if it means he falls on the sword so we can keep the Dysfunctional 3 together, so be it.

I know it may be unpopular, but they oughta entertain the idea of charging $5-10 to attend a taping. It's astounding that they're able to put all this together with free admission. Hell, I'd easily pay $20 to attend another taping if it helps pay some of the bills for another season

I'm not sure if they sell merchandize there or what but that's something they should consider doing, to make some money off the audience, it'll help somewhat if they did.

Why WWE then LU felt the need to keep him so bland as a face is beyond me. He should be a arrogant, shit-talking pretty-boy no matter what. He'd be a big loss IMO, but if they do cuts I can see him being a casualty.

Add Big Ryck to the list of those who might be around for LU Season 2 if it's still a go. He worked the All Elite show in Mexico on Sunday.

I also heard that the Temple may not be used but that was chalked up to the heat of the building. Still, didn't know that it lost that much money. If the location does get moved, here's how I'd set it up: the opening of the first show is in Cueto's office, when two police officers come in, and start asking some questions about Bael, who, of course, is still presumed missing. Cueto brushes them off and tells them to get a warrant, then, under cover of night, cleans out the Temple and ships everything off to Texas to start again.

I agree with Mocktail, probably be best if they moved it to Texas, be easier for Talent from Mexico to get there and not as much as a hassle. Only real concern would be if guys that live in California like Mundo and Ricochet having to travel there to do the tapings for it.

Really wasn't a fan of tonight's show outside of Mil and Catrina making it known the champ is as good as dead. Chavo just ruins everything and Prince Puma is still the worst booked champ since...um...damn I really cannot think of a worse booked champion.

That was bad but a lot of that was getting destroyed by giants if memory serves so I can excuse part of it, plus Rey could win on his own. Puma struggles with everyone and without Konnan or half the face roster saving his ass he'd be on the losing end it seems. Miz had horrible booking but at least won. Honestly it is a tough one for me to think of someone that had a major title but doesn't seem to belong.

I will be deadly honest with you. If they moved the LU tapings to Austin, I am on the first plane there. That would probably be the final nudge I need to go live there.

Moving out of town on the down-low to avoid the heat totally fits Cueto and the overall storyline. Plus I just can't see spending through the nose for that place. It's not like they're paying extra because the place is nice. It works because it fits well with being an underground operation. I'm sure they can find a place to shoot in Texas that gives the same gritty feel while at a better price.
