What this show has done is just amazing.In a world where the fantasy elements of wrestling are dying, Lucha Underground has weaved one of the best fictional settings in television as east LA becomes more or less an urbanized Middle Earth, filled with ancient warriors, undead demons, witches, time travelers and even a man with the soul of a dragon(literally).The best part of it is, it's presented in a smooth and sleek cinematic style and doesn't come across as campy or ridiculous (looking at you Wrestling Society X).The unique style, combined with some of the best and brightest modern Wrestling has to offer,intriguing narratives,great commentary provided by Matt Striker and Ian "Vampiro"Hodgkinson and not to forget the masterpiece of a performance from Luis Fernandez-Gil (aka Dario Cueto) and you have yourself a recipe for excellence.This is sports entertainment done right.
