akashchadz What this show has done is just amazing.In a world where the fantasy elements of wrestling are dying, Lucha Underground has weaved one of the best fictional settings in television as east LA becomes more or less an urbanized Middle Earth, filled with ancient warriors, undead demons, witches, time travelers and even a man with the soul of a dragon(literally).The best part of it is, it's presented in a smooth and sleek cinematic style and doesn't come across as campy or ridiculous (looking at you Wrestling Society X).The unique style, combined with some of the best and brightest modern Wrestling has to offer,intriguing narratives,great commentary provided by Matt Striker and Ian "Vampiro"Hodgkinson and not to forget the masterpiece of a performance from Luis Fernandez-Gil (aka Dario Cueto) and you have yourself a recipe for excellence.This is sports entertainment done right.

Hamdoon Ibrahim When i think of pro wrestling i consider it an art form, its an art in the sense that the squared circle is the canvas and the performers are the artists. Although i have been watching WWE since 2002, its gotten to a point that i can't care less who is the champion and who is the challenger as it seems that the emphasis is on making more and more money instead of entertaining the fans, not that they shouldn't be making money but when NXT is doing so good, the situation seems all the more frustrating. With that in mind, i decided to give a shot to El Rey networks Lucha Underground and boy am i loving the show.Its completely different to any other wrestling show, the characters, the story-lines, everything is so fleshed out and full of intrigue.There are many unique concepts that are very fresh to say the least and to top it all of the roster is simply amazing with each performer equally credible and important to the narrative being told. What truly stood out for me were the many different and never before seen moves performed by the talented men and women in Lucha Underground. All things considered, this is wrestling how its supposed to be in my opinion, entertaining and engrossing throughout without ever letting up.

Lewis Arnold Lucha Underground is a weekly wrestling show, ran by the famed Mexican promotion AAA, is their first attempt to appeal to an English speaking audience. The show is a hybrid of the Mexican and American wrestling cultures, with a large emphasis on high flying action, and high production values. It is unlike any other wrestling program on television today with its biggest upside in my opinion, being the long term story lines, with extremely well done backstage segments. You often feel like you are watching a high quality Spanish drama, rather than a straight wrestling show. This combined with one of the most talented rosters in the world, featuring the most interesting and diverse group of characters I have ever seen on any wrestling program, truly makes me believe that Lucha Underground is the future of professional wrestling.

Phillip Almeida Since WWE Main Roster has not stepped their game up for years now, and providing stale, predictable and mediocre programming at best, many pro-wrestling fans started looking for other promotions to watch. When I first found out about Lucha Underground I have to admit I was not excited to watch it. I thought it would be just like a Mexican promotion being showcased in the US, but when I heard Chavo Guerrero and Johnny Morrison (Johnny Mundo on Lucha Underground) were going to be in it I decided to give it a try just to see what it was about.The show is very well scripted, instead of just having promos, they have actual movie like series for the main story lines. The stories have meaning and depth, it's not just about two guys going at it for no reason.The wrestling is very good, although they do have their fair share of botches and timing issues. But their headliners really can put on great matches.They need to work on their timing, sometimes a guy will just stand there and wait for the next spot to happen, instead of it being a natural flow. They also do way too many "fly out of the ring" spots, which just take away from the spectacle that they should be. I saw about 6 fly out of the ring spots in a single match, it was just way too much. Their workers tend to botch here and there but other than that I have enjoyed the episodes and will be on the lookout for it. I can see a bright future for Lucha Underground if they can actually keep on improving the product and plugging the minor nuisances
