Been watching season 1 of Lucha Underground, I love it!

Where have you been watching it, I'm interested in seeing what it's like?

I heard it was on Netflix in the States.

I have been thinking of giving it a try. What are you liking about it?

Not legally, there are no avenues for us to see it otherwise. Feel free to PM me for more info.

What I like about it is the quality of the matches themselves and no hang ups with mixed matches (men v women etc).Story-lines & characters are simple but enjoyable and executed well. Hitting the usual tropes of bad guy promoter, shady trainers, up and coming new guy etc. Nothing revolutionary but back to basics, quality over quantity.

Episodes are only 45mins long (3 matches) this is a strength imo, I struggle through the average ep of RAW. It also lacks of budget of WWE, so no flashy entrances or cool theme music.

I'm only up to ep4 so I can't vouch for long term quality. I really hope netflix adds it here.

As far as the quality of Lucha Underground goes, that is down to they film it as a TV show not a sport. They do take after take until they get it right, something the WWE can't do being live and even the pre-recorded indies don't do.

I enjoyed NXT. Haven't watched an episode for quite a whike now & don't know who's what these days. I suppose I should get back in to it.

I watch NXT these days, hardly ever watch Raw and Smackdown. I still watch the PPV too but there is a lot of disappointment these days.

What has taken massive steps forward and what I really enjoy watching is Women's wrestling now. Really looking forward to the Mae Young Classic. I just hope that they don't use it as a stepping stone to bring Ronda Rousey into WWE.

I too enjoyed the women's division, much more than the men's, actually.
Asuka was one of my favourites along with Alexa, Ember and Nia. That Bayley and those massive blow up inflatable wobbly standy up things and her smile though...

bayley and sasha are horrible now. They just don't seem to know how to handle the womens division on the main roster.

I shudder at the thought of Asuka in the main roster...just look at bayley .

Braun Strowman and Aj styles are the only 2 people worth watching on the main roster atm.

I used to like Rollins but they haven't handled his return properly and his new finisher is super lacklustre (He needs to add the bicycle setup like Kenny Omega does).
