So the long running rumor, that I heard anyway, was that the ? at the end was meant as a notice that Rey was coming in but after seeing it, I don't get that feeling. Seemed more like "To be continued?".
I really hope El Rey runs a marathon some weekend so I can get caught up from episode one onward.

The "?" being for Rey makes sense but I also to took it as a "what happens now?" kind of thing since Dario ran off with his new hoochie , brother and red bull.
Just to echo what others have said if this for some reason does not get a season 2 and we are stuck with hospice TNA it will be a moneumental travesty.

On another note, Lucha Underground is what WWE ought to be with the money they have behind them.
Impeccable production, characters that are larger than life, and stories that have payoffs.
I mean, let's stop and think about the great things in Lucha Underground (other than Catrina)
1. Your champion is a total white meat babyface who has never uttered a word. And got over.
2. Your number one heel is actually protected, and treated like he's literal death coming for you.
3. An authority figure that doesn't trample all over the talent while still getting the job done and drawing heat.
4. Wins and losses matter, but pains are made to make sure that every wrestler is treated as seriously as possible. Even Marty the Moth.
5. OK, fine... Catrina. Damn.

My 9 year old son was watching tonight, and said that it was better than wwe & wrestlemania. I later asked him to elaborate, he told me because the matches are more entertaining. I agree. I also love that there's not 20,000 people screaming and sign holding. The focus is on the matches. Not a fan of Rey coming though.

It's obvious whoever took up Dragon Azteca's mask at the end will be the new Dragon Azteca, and they may do an angle where he tries to recruit Rey. Either way, it was another perfect tease. Goddamnit, it's going to eat away at me something fierce until this is picked up, and starts airing again. Grrrrrrrrr...

I have to assume, also, that this Mike guy is probably going to be brought in as the announcer for season 2, with Vampiro moving into the role of Master to Pentagon. It's going to be really interesting to see if they do anything with Vampiro and Striker, as Striker never had much good to say about Pentagon.

If we get a season 2 I assume he will try and break Strikers arm in the premier only to have someone prevent it thus keeping Striker on commentary while Pentagon and Vampiro focus on whoever stopped them either that or maybe have Striker always weary of them as they threaten to harm him...but do nothing untill the finale.

Went looking for images in the Lucha Underground hashtag on Twitter only to facepalm at certain trolls saying that every match was like 1996 ECW. Some people just aren't happy with anything.
Also, this.

Big Ryck now has more face/heel turns per capita than Kane and Big Show.

Also, this. ...goddamnit, I really hope that's not Abyss. Well, watching the Muertes/Puma match for a third time. It's that good. And I love that one guy in the audience loudly went "FIGHT, GODDAMNIT!" at Puma during the match. That was glorious. I kinda hope they don't move now, and if they do, I hope the crowd is as good wherever they land as they were in Boyle Heights.

Am I the only one who's kinda hoping that Marty's sister is Shelly Martinez? That would be awesome.

Loved it. Especially the segment at the end. I really hope we see a second season.

There was a 100,000 dollar battle royal that was suppose to air last night featuring those who weren't on the card, but I guess they decided not to air it.

Love how they are setting up the next season, you got The Dysfunctional Trio vowing to get the Trios titles back with them taking off on their motorcycles. Fenix the inaugural GOTG champion and being stalked by King Cuerno who has selected him as his next prey. Drago and Aerostar forming a pact before departing, our first glimpse of Matanza, as well as someone taking up the mantle and donning the mask of Dragon Azteca and a possible allusion to Rey Mysterio coming in as well as the war between Alberto and Mundo far from over.
