The Day Lucha Underground Died

Lucha Underground in its time offered a TRUE alternative, it was so unique in its wrestling, storylines, cinematography and presentation. With how good it was, it's surprising to know that the company no longer exists. But what I think really caused Lucha Underground to die was first off all the lawsuits against them, that goes without saying, but it can also come down to the drop in quality in season 4 specifically the final episodes because after watching those, why the hell would anybody want to tune in again? Today we’re going to be reviewing Lucha Underground Última Lucha Cuatro, the final Lucha Underground episodes.

My fiance tolerates wrestling for me. She loved LU. Still calls Ricochet Puma. She said it was because it was so different and kinda silly but everyone being in on it makes it work even the crowd. The ending was bad. Bad bad. First 2 seasons were golden televison. I still think a model like this could work. Seasonal, highly scripted characters but not overly scripted promos.

I can give a few reasons why Swagger could've worked as a heel world champion. An easy one is that he's the antithesis of Lucha Underground. The amount of heat he could've generated would've helped not just his profile but also the guy who would beat him for the title. His ring skills ate adequate enough that while he wouldn't be pleasing the people who think the in ring component is all that matters, he could put on a decent enough match. It's by no means an insult.

@BainesMkII 2 жыл бұрын

I would assume the plan was to bring fans back for season 5 to see Swagger destroyed. It wouldn't be any different from a regular TV drama ending the season with a seemingly status-quo changing shake-up event. (Mind, those kinds of season finales also tend to disappointingly get largely reversed or swept under the rug by the end of the first episode of the next season, but TV series still love to do them.)

Years ago, there was once a man named Dario Cueto, a devious businessman who once led a company called Lucha Underground, based in Boyle Heights. But one day, Dario disappeared, having been overthrown by his own father, Antonio, who inadvertently burned the company to the ground. Because of this, an anonymous promoter from Britain purchased all of the company's assets and sold them to mainstream companies (WWE, NJPW, IMPACT, etc). Suddenly, Dario resurfaced, and at the same time, Antonio disappeared, leading to the creation of a rumor stating that he killed his father out of revenge, having learned of what happened to Lucha Underground. With a target still glued on him, and with the rumor going around, Dario decided to go on the run, adopting the alias of "El Jefe" Cesar Duran. Eventually, he became the new leader of a group known as Promociones Dorado and the founder of Azteca Underground, the spiritual successor to Lucha Underground. He and his new venture are currently working with Major League Wrestling.

I always thought that for a hypothetical Season 5, there would a Civil War-style storyline. Remember, at the end of Season 4, Antonio, Swagger, Vampiro, his new student (played by a wrestler named Australian Suicide) and the debuting Wade Barrett said that the Aztec gods were preparing for an upcoming war or something like that. At the same time, Aerostar took both medallion necklaces from Captain Vasquez and used them to go back in time and resurrect Dario Cueto. My fantasy booking would have the Aztec gods/Antonio Cueto VS. all the LU babyfaces/Dario Cueto for control of the company, with Aerostar finally becoming LU Champion after he foresaw the war coming and saved everyone.

It was after all that 15yr old me noticed the predictably of the show was just starting to make it boring and I didn't have that love of it anymore and I thought I would never be able to look at wrestling the same way ever. I was surfing KZfaq and saw a recommendation for the puma vs El dragon match...🤔🤔😲😲😮😯🤯🤯🤯 I was in awe wtf is this that wasn't that bad at all so I'm like I'll watch another match and if they can surprise me & show me something that I never seen before!!! WOW DAMN never failed to do just that!! I had that feeling I had back then, you know loved wrestling again it was so different from what WWE was doing and that was bada$$ on the edge of my seat and couldn't wait for the next episode!!!!

It’s a shame it only lasted 4 seasons..
