LU started getting really bad early in the 2nd season. Everything I've read and seen from it looks like they've completely lost the plot and phased out a lot of the dope lucha dudes for shytty indie Cali guys like Joey fukking Ryan.

Joey Ryan is basically a jobber. The season has still been great and character development has still been stellar. I'm not sure what other indie Cali guys are on the show who you think are terrible.

Pretty much all of this is false. Joey Ryan is basically a footnote right now. Other than being washed by Mil Muertes after handcuffing himself to a barrier, he's hardly been seen.

We hate but this was a great year for wwe

The bolded things weren't great. No one gives a fukk bout the cruiserweights, Balor is shyt aside from a cool entrance, Owens/Zayn is overkill, they built Rusev up just to knock him down again, Sasha/Charlotte fighting 300 times got stale, two shyt Brock matches? fukk more cruiserweights. That 10, 10, 10 shyt is lame, fukk Bayley how are there grown men cheering her? And Reigns is still booked like the strongest guy in the roster, constantly main eventing, beating world champ clean and now is back in main event scene despite holding a mid card title... yeah wouldn't say he's in the mid card.


Other than that I agree with your list. Also Smackdown becoming so much better and kicking Raw's pasty ass every week :blessed:

I hate to put wwe over but that's my pick. Lucha is still good but has lost some steam in my opinion. I think that matanza burial run hurt them a bit. Kind of how that Brock run did, except he actually defended the belt. There's still time left in the season tho. I gotta catch up from the last few tho.

If your answer aint Lucha Underground
1. you aint watching it
2. you are missing out.

Brehs, get on it.

To be fair, people brought up some good points about WWE having a strong year but in terms of consistency and overall product I give LU the advantage.
