Thanks to Bobdunga for reading some lines: kzbin.info Was also on a podcast yesterday talking about Yu-Gi-Oh: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5q5ZKqIrdyCp80 I chose to make a Mucha Lucha video since I thought it be a short video. Found out a lot of info on it surprisingly. Please draw some #MuchaLuchaSona's I kinda hope it helps get the show attention from WB for a revival.

When the merger happened Turner was outsed of most of his power and the aol people saw wcw was losing over 45 million dollars per year and wanting to change Tbs and tnt demographics from a general interest cable networks to a comdey network and a drama network . aol time Warner cannclled it's time slots in 2001 and was bought buy wwe for 2 million dollars.

In Mexico it's very well said that foreign productions portrait our culture much better than local productions that attempt to teach about our traditions (You have Guacamelee as another example of it) but truth is that there is so much more in our traditions than Lucha Libre and Mariachi. There are ancient civilizations, warriors, mythology with lots of cool tales and science progression that went forgotten after Spanish conquerors destroyed most of it for thinking it might go against their religion, and that is what Mexican productions aim for (though we haven't found the way to do it properly). I am satisfied as a Mexican with these productions, I think Mucha Lucha is great and we as well grew watching it (I loved that you showed the Latin American Dub)

[@kithano]

Btw, the word "Gringo" is normally used to refer despectively to an American (someone from the US). If someone calls gringo to someone from another nationality, perhaps he/she just assumed they were Americans.

That's because both were animated in flash, though Mucha Lucha was the first ever animated cartoon to be fully animated in it, and it was responsible for a lot of the flash animating techniques used for about the next decade.

Hold it they allowed xialin showdown , x men evolution, and other violent cartoons. Yet they wouldn't allow mucha lucha at first.

[@uknownada]

I think it's because wrestling is a much more physically violet sport, and doesn't use powers and stuff. So its violence would be more "real" or something, which is especially bad when children are involved.
