This is nearly a month old but I just happened upon it myself. Less than 3 weeks until the premier of season two!





I'm not crazy about the use of guns but it appears to only be involved in a back/side story. If it never enters the new temple, it'll probably be fine. Otherwise, if I had no idea what Lucha Underground was, I'd probably still be hyped to check it out based on this video.

Edit: Holy shit, I somehow missed the last few seconds of the trailer. I don't think we'll be missing Alberto.

Nah, guns and wrestling is fine. RIP Pillman.

Me thinks when Dusty saw wrestling more like a movie/tv drama and less like old school "wrasslin" this is what he had in mind, as this looks more like a trailer to Avengers than a wrestling program. I'm surprised a certain multi-millionaire and his son in law haven't started ripping off the directorial and narrative progression of this show yet.

Unless Del Rio's re-hiring was the warning shot?



Cole: "Yeah, thanks to Kane. You should buy Kane a Rolex watch for what he did for you."
Rollins: "Oh don't be silly, Kane doesn't wear watches."

While the WWE certain has the technical ability to pull off a similar production, I'm not sure they could even come close to Lucha Underground from a creative standpoint.

And if Del Rio's re-hiring was a warning shot, it was the sort that knocks down the lighting fixture for comedic effect. Lucha Underground didn't get over or become great because of Del Rio, Del Rio joined Lucha Underground because it was so great. While his time there was interesting, he lost his final match and they're not really out anything by his absence. The only bummer is that we never got an Alberto/Puma match.

If anything, stealing Alberto highlights one of Lucha Underground's superior traits over the WWE. WWE rehired Alberto because they were desperate for big names, meanwhile well over half of Lucha Underground's roster is over with the fans, even the ones like Drago & Son of Havoc who were jobbed out more often than not but still allowed to look strong in the process. If WWE was going to steal anything from Lucha Underground, that mindset would be the most useful.

Del Rio joined Lucha Underground because Lucha Underground was offering him big money to a well known in Latin America who could be attached to the promotion. Del Rio left Lucha Underground because he found some way they broke their contract and he wasn't happy there. It's possible, WWE may have informally offered him a deal to return and that inspired Alberto to find some way out of his contract. It's hard to believe Alberto would've given up his LU deal (and switch to a show by show deal with AAA) if he didn't have a WWE deal in hand.

(WWE's definitely not above looking at Lucha Underground as a potential source of talent. WWE talked to Prince Puma, Angelico, Jack Evans and probably others, but they were still under contract and/or uninterested in leaving.)

Mysterio fills the role better than Alberto does and is the guy Lucha Underground actually wanted from day 1, so everyone' probably fine with the way it turned out.

If you're in Canada, the show will start airing on TLN/Telelatino on Sunday nights this seasons. Episodes will be a few days behind the US but it's probably easier than hunting thru YouTube. Still crossing my fingers there's more announcements along those lines in the next few days.

Did I read correctly that they're filming Season 3 in conjunction with Season 2? I'm trying my best to avoid all spoilers, so I didn't look at the article too closely.

The story is Season 2&3 were given the OK at the same time, but the guy in charge of production (and probably a fair amount of people who work on the show) have another show to do in between. For maximum comedy, it goes

Lucha Underground Season 2
The Apprentice with Arnold Schwarzenegger
Lucha Underground Season 3

One can only dream of a crossover event.

Anyway, the episodes they're taping for "season 2" should last into the first week of August. They should be taping season 3 well before then, so there may not be much (or any) break between season and it'll just come off as a lot of episodes in a row.

Is there any other big names they are trying to bring in for season 2 or 3? I would think they would try to bring in R.V.D. at some point. They don't need to over due it with American bases wrestlers though. So a Waltman or Jerry Lynn might be too much.

There are other additions, but no big names.

Last summer, RVD mentioned that while he was between WWE contracts, his merchandise deal forbid him from appearing in TNA or ROH, so I suspect that applies to Lucha Underground as well. He also noted that he expected to make another WWE run and that he wants to do a retirement tour.

I saw that Cheerleader Melissa was listed as being on the roster. Not sure if she's going to be on TV or not but that would be an great addition to face off against Ivalisse and Sexy Star. (I'm torn between wanting NXT to increase the size of their women's roster and wanting every woman worth being on TV to go to NXT.)

So cannot wait for Season 2! WWE has had more than enough time to try and convince me they're the ones to watch, and all they've done is continue squandering one of the most talented rosters I've ever seen. I've had enough of Vince's 20-year-old meatloaf, time to get back to the prime rib.
