FFS did they really give Swagger the championship? Season 4 was so bad, largely thanks to him, that I stopping watching. He prove to me that the WWE were right but to push him fully. By far the worst LU wrestler ever and that includes Sexy Star and Tommy Dreamer. You exaggeratting with those comparisons though now come on Swagger is nowhere as bad as sexy star...if u wanna compare personality though that is different debate. Swaggers match with Mundo alone is better than anything sexy star did as far as in ring ability goes. I really don't get all the Swagger hate. He had the tools and ability in WWE, reminded me of a young Angle, but they bungled his booking out of the gate, even when he was World Champion. And you have to admit, that gold singlet he has now looks damn cool. Sexy Star was at least heavily implied to have been killed by Reklusa. When Marty formally introduced Reklusa, she pulled Sexy's mask out of a box, and made it sound like it was all that was left of her.

Ive is like Aries or Ki without the talent to make putting up with their shit worth it.
And yeah, Swagger being the big bad, I have no desire to watch. That is Dixie level bad booking.

I can't say I have any desire to see them live after the King Cuerno situation.

I haven't yet seen his match with Mundo but the rest of his matches were trash. While Sexy Star, while worse in ring had lots of character and was part of some fantastic matches and segments including one of the very best matches ever in LU.

If it means Matt Striker and Vampiro are no longer commentating then I can only welcome the news it might close. vampiro is fantastic in my book. Striker even he gives the jokes and bible a rest is great.

[and who on the roster has died off screen? outside of Big Ryck which was in the comic and addressed on the show and Rey Mysterio who is not dead because everyone else that has died has died in some or fashion on screen.

AH HA...but there is a way to circumvent that one. Remember the guy Matanza was beating like a heavy bag?...we never saw who that was.

I remember that being pretty heavily implied to have been Mysterio, but yeah, if they wanted to go that route, they could have it be quite a few different people. Night Claw's still out there, after all...

Striker even he gives the jokes and bible a rest is great. It's a very subjective thing, commentary and wrestling fandom. I've tried LU several times in an effort to see what so many others do but II personally think it's terrible and the commentary is one of the worst aspects. But then I like Michael Cole, so what do I know?

5 more to add to the dreaded off camera gods:
Though I guess it is easy to say The White Rabbit killed Joey.

Ouch. Moon and Cuerno were established as big parts of the narrative, so replacing them for a hypothetical Season 5 is gonna hurt.
Ive and Joey had bit parts and Texano didn't appear at all last Season, so writing them off won't be so bad, I think.

They pretty much got no choice now they have to do the Elseworld moment from the crossover if season 5 is a go right at the start.
The gods standing victorious over the fallen/released....have stand ins laying on the ground in Kobra Moons mask , Cuernos mask etc and then Aerostar goes back in time but it is an alternate timeline , certain events are still in play.
The gauntlet the gods there are some old faces amongst the majority of new ones though

With season 4 ending with the Temple being directly taken over by the Order of second-rate WWE midcarder washouts malevolent reawakened gods, I think they could make it work having S5 open with many of the core competitors already dead or driven off.
The budget impasse still sounds a lot more likely (and pretty likely, for better or worse) to keep the series buried than these roster departures, IMO.

Alright, if they let all those people out of their contracts, even if their arm was twisted to do it, I have less malice towards the company's continued existence.
Also, wonder Tejano Jr's a Mexican wrestling lifer, or if he's headed to the states, too, like Fantasma certainly is in some capacity.

Really hoping to see Thunder Rosa in NXT soon. I know that’s her goal, and she’s certainly talented enough to make it. I’d love for them to keep her in a mask too. It’s past time WWE has a masked female superstar (besides La Luchadora).
Fantasma could still be big in the states too. Whether that be in NXT, ROH, or whatever. He’s big enough and has a great look.

They could also pull a freebird rule and have a new member of the reptile tribe come in to defend for Kobra Moon instead.

An awesome thing could be...have Drago kill her and have him take up leadership of the reptile tribe. And I would not doubt that is/was the plan....because in story they need the tribes to unite and having Drago take the throne from her and turn then into a force for the babyfaces plays perfectly.
