Lucha Underground is a really evil company that has hosed over numerous wrestlers on their lovely contracts, and in this case it looks like they had legal keep him off these shows.

Lucha is basically stringing out any decision about the long term aspects of the show and making it seem like they're in this for the long haul in order to gently caress the wrestlers.

But I'm torn because everyone on earth knew those contracts were poo poo when those guys signed them.

In regards to ricochet, I believe he has an out after three seasons but that out only kicks in after the season is done airing in the states.

Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
Kenny currently has a new title and three feuds simmering simultaneously. Okada is still the ace, but it increasingly feels like Omega is the centre of the promotion.

If they hadn't done the mid season break his contract would have been up now or hereabouts. They also didn't give him any notice that they were going to do the break.

The AAA wrestlers had the contracts worked out by AAA and agreed to, so they were completely hosed over by the owners of LU. A few of the American guys who weren't forced into the deals were able to negotiate less lovely deals and even then they got hosed. Being torn because workers got hosed over is pretty lovely of you. Especially when it was guys who worked out what should have been a 3 year deal and became a 5 year deal.

There's about 4 months left in this LU season


Guess what show kind of randomly took an unplanned 5 month hiatus and hosed over him being able to appear.

Seriously though, I wonder if his few appearances weren't supposed to be more, and he hosed it up like he did when he was NWA champ by making big demands. Apparently he asked for all kinds of star treatment when he went there as NWA champion and NJPW was none too pleased.

Catching up on Night 1 of G1 USA, I wonder if the AXS TV showing messed with their technical people. I know they probably have a different setup than they're used to as well (and may be down a few people) but there have been a bunch of uncharacteristic technical issues throughout the show.

I still also love how dissonant the image of LIJ and current character of Naito is versus his entrance music.

That was with Zero One. I assume he was there as part of the deal to do the PPV and when NJPW didn't go forward with that arrangement they didn't need Jeffrey.

It's a small venue that only took up one of the major halls in the convention center and all the seats were filled from what I could tell on Saturday until people starting standing up at the walls for better views. I can't imagine it was any different for Sunday.

The one thing that my friend noted when he tried to get food was that they were out of hot dog buns and were supposedly not able to sell the cooked hot dogs they already had? :confused:
