I seen the first 2 episodes of the new Lucha Libre show Lucha Underground on the El Rey Network and I found it to be a different kind of show from what you get with WWE or TNA. Lucha Underground features luchadores/wrestlers such as Blue Demon Jr., Mil Muertes (former TNA Star Judas Mesias), female luchadore Sexy Star, former WCW & TNA star Konnan who is mentoring Prince Puma, former WWE Star John Morrison (Johnny Mundo), former WWE star Ezekiel Jackson (Big Ryck), former WWE, WCW & TNA star Chavo Guerrero Jr. & commentators former WWE star Matt Striker & former WCW star Vampiro.
Lucha Underground lets the women compete against the men. In the first episode Son of Havoc ( Matt Cross) faced female luchadore Sexy Star. Son of Havoc got the win but it wasn’t easy, Sexy Star put up good fight. In the second episode Sexy Star teamed up with Chavo to defeat Son of Havoc & female luchadore Ivelisse. Son of Havoc ( Matt Cross) was on WWE’s Tough Enough. Ivelisse also was on WWE’s Tough Enough and appeared in WWE’s development promotion Florida Championship Wrestling and on WWE’s NXT and she also appeared on TNA Impact Wrestling in a Gut Check match. Later that night on episode 2 Blue Demon Jr. was being assaulted by Mil Muertes and Chavo came down & it appeared was to help Blue Demon Jr. but instead attacked him with a steel chair. Chavo then took out the refs & a few other luchadores. Sexy Star came down & pleaded for Chavo to stop but Chavo flattened her with a chair shot to her face. You just don’t see that in WWE or TNA.
So if your looking for something different than WWE or TNA then you might want to give Lucha Underground a try. Lucha Underground airs on the El Rey Network Wednesday nights at 8PM ET. If you don’t get El Rey you might find it On Demand that’s where I was able to watch it.
