Lucha Underground spoiler - this is the worst night in the history of our sport

[Vinny Lupton]

Observer/f4w:

Sexy Star is the new Lucha Underground champion, winning Aztec Warfare 3 Saturday during the company's tapings in Boyle Heights, California.

Matanza Cueto, who had been undefeated up until this point, was pinned by Rey Mysterio halfway through the match after a Canadian destroyer. Pentagon was taken out by four Asian women (possibly Angela Fong and Io Shirai, Mayu Iwatani and Kaiji Hojo from the Stardom promotion.)

It came down to Sexy Star and Mil Muertes. Muertes kept missing table spots and finally went for a top rope Flatliner, but Sexy shoved him off and through a table, hitting the top rope stomp for the pin and title victory.

The show will air sometime in early-2017 as part of the promotion's third season. There will be more tapings Sunday featuring Stardom's Shirai, Iwatani and Hojo, three of the best female wrestlers in the world who are also in town for Monday's Vendetta Pro show in Las Vegas, NV.

I hate that they're filming this shyt a whole year in advance, way too much can happen between now and then

I'd rather watch Reigns vs. Abyss in a 6 sided PG first blood match that could never end than let this type of gay shyt rock on TV in my home

I'd rather have Ivelisse win the title.


Worst night in the history of our sport? Please.

Apparently they already lost the belt.

A woman beat a man for this company's main title. You're cool with that?

 

[StatUS]

Everyone on that show has super powers and mystical backgrounds

This is more like Wonder Woman beating Darkseid than Trish Stratus beating The Undertaker.

On LU, they frequently have women compete with the men and do a pretty good job of booking it. I trust that they'll handle this pretty well. Besides are we really going to talk about believability on a show where people teleport and have magical stones and medallions?

at the "Pentagon was taken out by 4 asian women" part

Always pay for your happy endings

I agree with you here. The entire existence of LU is an insult to the sport of kings

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Let movie/tv people run a wrestling show and you're gonna have broads beating zombies for the title and it won't air for 9 months. The LU champ could literally get knocked up and bring a human life into the world before this bullshyt airs

SEE THIS shyt RIGHT HERE IS WHY LUCHA UNDERGROUND IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS TO HAPPEN TO WRESTLING IN YEARS!!!! WHAT'S NEXT, A MECHANICAL BULL WINS THE fukkING TITLE!!????! GARBAGE!!! MAKES ECW LOOK LIKE GRECO ROMAN WRESTLING FOR fukk'S SAKE!!!!!!

 

[Box Cutta]

Haven't people been applauding the promotion for their intergender fights?

I only really watch the occasional match here and there, don't really follow it per se, but as long as it's within the standard already set in their universe I'm cool with it....
