Agree on this. It's also something WWE needs to learn. Cena would probably get a lot less hate, and maybe even more positivity, if he weren't on TV every week.
Really the only expendable guys right now are Famous B and Vinny Massaro. I'd add Ricky Mandel, but he's also pulling double duty as one of the Disciples, so we can't exactly axe him. I'm hoping when they do bring in Jeff Cobb, he gets a nice run; don't just have him be one of Pentagon Jr.'s arm-breaking victims.

I see AAA doing more synergy with Lucha Underground next season meaning the people on the roster either are folks who are currently or will be in AAA or people used in enhancement roles from the area. I expect Matanza to be Cibernetico since he has the look to pull off the monster look. If Gronda aka Groon X was still active, he would be perfect. Plus more angles will be connected to AAA. Triplemania got a really big boost in interest from LU which got shitted away by a dismal ppv effort.

www.youtube.com/watch?t=8&v=9BRMdED6hf4So Trina Michaels wants in on Lucha Underground season 2. I am not real familiar with her wrestling work so idk what peoples feelings are about her and there are other females I want more but she could be a decent fit. And Dario really cleaned out the temple didn't he lol.

Not someone I see them hiring for the show.

Beyond happy that we've got Season 2. I'm a relative latecomer to LU but it's very quickly become my favourite thing in wrestling. Look forward to seeing how Vampiro/Pentagon develops (I loved that swerve), and hopefully Muertes/Fenix III. Going to be interesting to see how they explain staying in the temple though. Perhaps someone keeps it running in Cueto's absence, leading to his eventual return with Lotus and Matanza? I'd like to see Cuerno pushed more this season, but I'm nitpicking. I have faith in everything they do. Imagine that, faith in a wrestling promotion. I'd really be up for a Pentagon/Puma feud, working on the previously utilised tension between Konnan/Vampiro. I've been critical of him before, but I love Striker on commentary in LU. Adds so much to the action and the characters. Thought he worked really well with Schiavello at Ultima Lucha. I've heard a few people say they want Fenix/Mill III, but they've met four times already so you want a 5th! 1) In the match to see who enters Aztec Warefare at #20- Mill won. 2) The match Mill lost which set up the angle where Catrina thought Mill wasn't strong enough- Fenix won 3) Grave Consequences- Fenix won 4) Death Match- Mill won I was wrong they've actually met five times and Mill is up 3-2 as there was a match after their 2nd one but before the casket match where Mill won but Catrina refused to lick Fenix. It does seem like they are going to go back to Fenix/Mill one last time however, but Cuerno will possibly challenge for the Gift of the Gods championship first going by that last montage. Also I think Marty's sister will be Cheeleader Melissa judging by the fact she was wrestling dark matches. I don't know if she has the charisma but with pre-taped well-written segments she could do well. I've thought that they needed at least one more wrestler who isn't a high flier and it would be really cool if one of them was a woman so Melissa would be a great addition.

Could be Melissa but it could also be Victoria/Tara as well as there was reports of her expressing interest and talking with them. Tara is a lovely woman and when I went to visit her pizza place in Chicago I got a photo of me and her (with Melissa too) and rather than act annoyed that I was taking up her time she insisted we take another one as the flash wasn't on. That being said while she does do the psycho gimmick well I don't know if she's good enough to hang with the rest of the roster these days? Bare in mind that I haven't seen her since 2009, but even then she was clearly not as good as some of the other Knockouts like Hamada, Kong, Sarita, Taylor and Melissa herself. Also I don't want any more ex-WWE people to come in. Davari was the last straw to me.

Cheerleader Melissa being added to the LU roster would be the icing on an already beautiful and extravagant cake. Hopefully that is the case.

Cheerleader Melissa and Tessa Blanchard are the 2 females I want LU to sign the most , I would add Candice LeRae but it has been said she turned them down because she did not want to sign a 7yr contract.

Tessa's dating Prince Puma isn't she? Could happen then. You would have thought with her surname that the WWE would be signing her up straight away. An angle where Tessa targets Bayley, Becky and Sasha and says that she should be a horsewoman given how her Dad was one could be awesome. Kay Lee Ray would be a great high fligher that would fit right in and even better would be the masked Ray who is possibly the best female high fligher going... but sadly seeing as how they are Scottish and Japanese they aren't likely!

That has surprised me that WWE hasn't went after her but with her boyfriend being in LU I would think they have a much better chance at signing her so I am hoping they have gotten to her before WWE does. Also helps she is pretty as hell lol.

What's Hamada up to these days? Haven't been paying attention since the peak of the Knockouts in TNA but she'd be an interesting addition too if she's free.

She's an amazing high flying wrestler. I haven't heard much from Hamada these days though I don't follow Wave. The last I heard of Hamada was when she couldn't make it last minute to the October 2013 Shimmer tapings that I attended.

The "It's still real to me, dammit!!" part of my brain wants Davari to be fed to Mil Muertes in another death match.

I'm going to Australia next month and need to find a way to watch the show online. The problem is that Lucha Underground is too good and it's ruined wrestling for me. How can I watch the WWE ever again now I've seen Lucha Underground? Anyone else think Pentagon Jr should become a tweener? He's most people's favourite LU wrestler and he's just too damn cool to hate.

I would say Pentagon is already bordering on being a tweener but it will become more defined as he goes for the world title which many myself included expect.
But I have so many fantasy matches and feuds I wanna see play out and I know majority wont be able to happen this season but I hope the ground work is laid for some in future seasons.
Pentagon Vs Puma Mill Muertes Vs King Cuerno King Cuerno Vs Pentagon Aerostar Vs Mill Muertes Cage Vs Mill Muertes Mil Mutertes Vs Matanza Black Lotus Vs Iveleese Son Of Havoc Vs Jack Evans

Pentagon Vs Puma Mill Muertes Vs King Cuerno King Cuerno Vs Pentagon Aerostar Vs Mill Muertes Cage Vs Mill Muertes Mil Mutertes Vs Matanza Black Lotus Vs Iveleese Son Of Havoc Vs Jack Evans Pentagon Vs Puma is a big match I want to see! Aerostar vs Mill sounds like it'd be an awesome match. Not sure about Cuerno vs Mill yet. I know it'd be awesome but I'm not sure I want heel vs heel or a Cuerno face turn yet. Cage turning face and taking on Mill however is something I really want. Evans and Angelico need to do some kind of storyline and I hope it's Evans trying to reform their team from AAA in LU but Angelico stays loyal to Team Havok. I think King Cuerno vs Fenix is going to happen looking at the epilogue of season 1 and I'm well up for that! Then I guess we will get Fenix vs Mill Muertes VI and I am not even close to being bored by them two yet! I wouldn't blame Fenix if he holds onto his belt until Mill loses his however! Sexy Star needs to escape from her cocoon at some point too and fight Marty and his sister (Melissa?) I'll add: Fenix vs Johnny Mundo Alberto El Patron vs Prince Puma Jack Evans vs Angelico Alberto El Patron vs Pentagon Jr Aerostar vs Pentagon Jr The Mack vs Pentagon Jr The Mack vs Mill Muertes Sexy Star vs Mill Muertes

So pumped for the next 2-3 weeks. Once that notice is posted about getting tickets, I'm gonna make sure I go to the first 2 shows. I'm worried it'll be PWG levels of difficulty/anxiety in getting tickets though
And my personal dream match? Cage vs Mil Muertes. I don't believe they've ever crossed paths during Season 1
