the old temple is dead

Ultima Lucha Tres left Dario Cueto, Cueto’s Temple in Boyle Heights and the show’s entire universe in turmoil. The first bit of news I can tell you is that ticket reservations for season 4 tapings go up tomorrow, so go follow @LuchaElReyfor the official announcement and instructions. If you live within … let’s say an entire country of Los Angeles, you should try to get to a Lucha taping. I’ve never had more fun at a wrestling show, and how many times can you say you attended a live, supernatural telenovela about lucha libre?
If you’ve been to the Saturday/Sunday tapings for past seasons, here’s another bit of info: for the first time, the show will be taping on Fridays as well as Saturdays and Sundays. So now you’ve got an extra shot at seeing the show live, and it’s probably a safer, healthier and happier setup for the talent. You know, especially when you talent leaves pieces of their body lying around after matches.
And here’s the most fun news: The Temple is dead. Long live The Temple.
The new Temple is part of Union Central Cold Storage on Industrial in downtown Los Angeles, and I was lucky enough to be invited in as the first non-crew member to see what they’ve put together so far. You could even call it a “unique opportunity.” Below are some exclusive photos from the official Lucha Underground photographer, Louis, to give you a look at the new set in its infancy.
