Default Official Lucha Underground Thread (El Ray Network)

I noticed there wasn't a thread for this new wrestling promotion that has geared up on the El Ray Network. Granted the channel is not readily available across national programming, it is being picked up and is available in the most major markets and cities. Is anyone else watching this start-up?

While the first episode was a bit jarring....4 weeks in and this new promotion is really gelling. It's fresh, new and gives actual seriousness and real authenticity back to the wrestling world. The characters have some depth, talent and the stories are exciting. The commentating team of Matt Striker and Vampiro is the real surprise. I was never really a fan of Striker before....but he's come into his own and Vampiro has a sense of what a new age heel commentator should be.

So we have Chavo Guerrero who seems to finally feel comfortable in his skin. Johnny Mundo (Morrison) who is killing it...Konnan who has some excellent subtlety of a heel with shades of grey. Amazing new talent on the roster range from Mil Muertes to Prince Puma (Ricochet on the Indies) to Drago to Fenix to Ivelisse (remember her?, yeah she's killing it too....) and Sexy Star....

I'm impressed...and curious to see where everything goes....

The product has great production value. I've not been this interested in wrestling since the attitude era of wrestling launched. I won't clutter up the tv thread with any wrestling threads, there's really only ROH left anyways....
