Yup, Ivelisse is out for a big chunk of the season. So is Angelico.
So her challenging Catrina was taped after her injury happened and is now used to cover for it, I guess.

It also reminds me how Ivelisse is having rotten luck with her injuries.

Finally, the panel was Vampiro, Taya, Marty Elias, Fenix, Reps from AAA, and a handful of creative from Lucha. Melissa Santos and Famous B were also around. It was a fine panel that basically hyped up season 3 and discussed how everything came together. Nothing ground shaking, but it was just nice to see the program get exposure like that.
Marty Elias is an interesting choice. Why put him on such a panel? Does he have a role in production or is he just a referee?

I still can't believe his appearance happened. It's actually a top 10 holy poo poo moment of 2016 in wrestling for me.

I didn't really buy into that false finish. Once they showed Chavo Sr., I knew he was going to get involved and get Junior DQed only for Dario to overturn it. It was predictable, but as usual, the cool thing is not the finish, but how we get there.

It's that it wasn't even Striker doing it. It was Vampiro.
I actually liked that Vampiro said that and not Striker. It reinforces the impression that Vampiro does know more about the magical side of LU than usually lets on as commentator.

If Striker had said it, it would have been a groundworthy fourth wall break, though.

I'm sort of torn. I don't know about Sexy being champ to begin with, but by god, if you're gonna do it, loving do it and commit.
I agree. If you want to make a statement about strong women, give Sexy Star one or two title defenses to actually look strong. The way they booked it, it merely looks like a publicity stunt.

You know, with dragons and ghost witches and whatnot running around, I would not be surprised to find out at some point that scepter is magic.

Charles Gnarwin posted:

There's a point in every Sexy Star match where I complain about how limited she is in the ring and within a minute I am audibly cheering for her in my living room. She's certainly great at winning support.
Yeah, she's good at that and her matches are usually laid out/edited in a way that maximizes the effect.

I laughed my rear end off when I heard that. Definitely an instant Top 5 wrestling hometown right there.

This was a very good episodes. A lot of stories started moving or moved along and we had some exciting wrestling. I hope we get some sort of update on some other things (Mantanza, the police storyline) soon, too.

Predictable heel finish.
Yeah, sorta. But that means it will even more surprising if the unpredicatable happens and the Mack does not win against all odds. :v:

Cueto Cup feels likes a way to fill time and ostensibly advance feuds without telling different stories.
It really feels like they're spinning wheels a lot right now. Maybe it gets better as the tournament goes on and less people are directly involved in it.

exploded mummy posted:

Good news, Taya quit AAA because of a horrible screw job that got the Reina de Reinas title off of her and back to the now unreturned Sexy Star


Oh and they got Johnny Mundo involved in it and use him as a tool, so it'll be interesting to see if he remains with his fiancee out.

They have no desire to book in response to people who get over because a) it's impossible because they tape entire seasons at once, and b) it would interfere with their grand, epic wrestling narrative or something.
This excuse worked for season 1 when Pentagon got over unexpectedly. It doesn't work for seasons 2 or 3.

Well, that match reminded me why Catrina washed out of NXT. Ivelisse was basically wrestling herself.
Considering how much wrestling Catrina has done since, that came as no surprise.

Very disappointed that they didn't take the interesting route of Ivelisse running away with the rock.

And saddling the Mack with two badly-injured wrestlers that hate each other as his tag partners against a fresh team who currently hold the title is the kind of dick move Dario Cueto is famous for.
That's really all there is to it and anything else is overthinking this.

The montage at the end of the first season. It's such a perfect look at where things have come to and where things will go if there was to be a second season.
It's definitely a great summary and Drago flying away is a wonderful :wtc: moment. My favorite is not a specific moment, but the whole Ivelisse/Son of Havoc/Angelico storyline. If I have to be specific, I'd say the first Grave Consequences.

I would assume the guy who shot him takes over the Temple. Didn't he say something about "new leadership" anyway? It would be interesting to see what an uncontrolled Mantanza looks like, too.
