Lucha Underground was one of the greatest wrestling shows of the last decade for me. It lost some of my attention towards the end but there were so many good characters arcs. Pentagon Jr had to be the best
@brianknapp62152 жыл бұрын
I'm glad most of the LU wrestlers have found success elsewhere- mostly in AEW, although Mil Muertes (King Muertes), Son of Havoc (Matt Cross) and Dario Cueto (El Jefe) are in MLW. I just wish Ricochet (Prince Puma) wasn't being buried as a mid-carder in the WWE. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the Pentagon Jr/Dark story arc- especially that _brutal_ match he had with Vampiro (who turned out to be his mysterious "Master"!)

Angelico has always been a mixed bag for me. Hated him and Jack Evans in AAA because they just followed the trend of preferential treatment to non-Mexicans which pissed me off. Then he was great in LU and has done absolutely nothing in AEW. Idk if he's still as disliked as he was in the earlier days but it's a shame to see someone like him get such a negative press. He's not just a high flier, he's pretty good with submissions too. He's oddly charismatic (in a smarmy way) but pretty bogus on the mic.

Son of Havoc is Matt Cross, a guy who wrestled in ROH in the 00s. He was a super high flyer back then, in some ways innovative and in others just pointless and overdone. Like he couldn't throw a punch, he'd have to do a flip first. His character as Son of Havoc was a little weird, but it was a character and he grew on you. It also showed Matt Cross' growth as a wrestler, he could do a lot more than just fly.
