I think Cuerno is playing Muertes and Catrina. Once he gets the opportunity to strike against them, he will, but he'll string them along first.
Notice that Vampiro wasn't entirely thrilled at Penty Jr.'s actions? Could be more Master/Student confrontations at hand.
Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio didn't seem bullish about LU's fortunes beyond this season. He thinks Season 3 will probably be made, but he doubts they'll be able to hang on to the top stars due to a lack of funds and WWE sniffing around for talent for NXT.

Given the layout of the show, part of me wonders if they will ever end a match via cliffhanger as the show ends and next week's show will pick up right where it left off

Yeah, I hope they find a way to become fiscally sustainable down the line. 3 seasons is actually a good run, not every wrestling show is gonna run forever like RAW does - which is probably a good thing. But the cool thing about LU is even if NXT/WWE does get the top 4-5 guys in LU, the way its set up allows for that kind of turnover. They seem to have plenty of people they can fit in those spots if they get raided.

My question is why is it so expensive to produce?

My question is why is it so expensive to produce? I think about that too. I mean, I'm sure it has all the normal costs of a regular TV show, plus paying higher insurance costs due to the nature of the show. But also, its on a network with minimal reach which means the ad revenue it brings in isn't exactly dolla-dolla-bills y'all. I mean, most of the commercial on LU aren't exactly top tier advertisers so they're probably not getting a lot of money from advertising right now. Which is why El Rey will play mainly old movies and stuff as they're cheaper to get than original content.

I grabbed the talk from around the premier and moved to this new thread for the new season.

So that was pretty amazing.
I didn't expect Ivelisse to win,mostly because i didn't remember she winning many matches by herself ,and spent her whole successful phase injured. And there is still major players to appear,pretty awesome first episode

I presume that Vamp was on the meds given to him by that psychiatrist, hence why he didn't get triggered by Pentagon showing up to wreck Mil's shit.

Seriously though. The lack of Pentagon Jr merch available at the LU shop is criminal. Especially after last night, they'd be making some bank right now if they had some up for sale. Maskedrepublic.com has a deal with AAA to sell Pentagon Jr/Perros del Mal merch if you're in the market. Seems to be a good business going by Twitter reactions.

Yeah, I saw those. the Cero Mideo stacked one is pretty cool, but he's worn some other ones that are really dope Pentagon Jr shirts out there before and I think he sells them at shows too.

That's a bit of a bummer, hoped it would be higher. Hopefully as the season goes on more and more tune in to it.

I assume that rating is of the original airing on El-Rey and not taking into account the westcoast airing.
And we still have the TLN debut this weekend.

Problem is not a lot of people can still get the channel Figured as much which is really not bad considering how much the ratings fluxuated last season one week is 44k next it is 60k and then 100k etc. Genuinely intrigued to see what it comes out to when taking into account TLN.
