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
