Lucha Underground, Season 4 (2018)

Starring: Matt Striker, Vampiro, Melissa Santos, Dario Cueto, Johnny Mundo, Mil Muertes, Pentagon Jr., Fenix, Cage, Ivelisse, Jake Strong, Marty Matinez, Willie Mack, King Guerno, Taya, Matanza Cueto, Famous B, Areo Star, Dragon Azteca Jr, Paul London, Joey Ryan,


Premise:
Wrestlers compete for a championship belt.

My Take:
Each season of this show is fantastic with it's fast pace ring action, over the top characters, and outrageous stories features human sacrifices to the Gods, a supernatural robotic hand, black magic returning wrestlers from the dead, and so much more. Every wrestler has a story. As I have said before this isn't like most wrestling shows out there which is what sets it apart and makes it so much damn fun. They had better get a season 5.

Lucha Underground, Season 3 (2017)

Starring: Prince Puma, Brian Cage, Rey Misterio, Jeff Cobb, John Morrison, Kira Foster, Paul Black, Vampiro, Matt Stryker, Melissa Santos, Pentigon Dark, Sexy Star, Dr. Wagner, Ricky Banderas, Karlee Perez, Texano, Paul London, William Mack, Shane Strickland, Dante Fox, Fenix, Martin Casuas, Melissa Anderson, Ivelisse Velez, Matt Cross, Sami Callihan


Premise:
Season Three of the show has warriors continuing to battle for wins and for the pleasure of owner Dario Cueto. And there's a mysterious glove that has super powers and has the owner being the vessel for the second coming.

My Take:
My favorite aspect about Lucha Underground is the attention to details when it comes to the story lines. Every character has a reason and things that happened in season one still matter in season three (and often built upon). It's face paced action and pure fun! Not to mention lots of macabre and supernatural elements. The series builds up to the final Ultima Lucha Tres which features some of the most violent and bloody wrestling matches I have ever seen on regular television. I really hope the promotion gets backers for more seasons.

Lucha Underground, Season 2 (2016)

Starring: Dario Cuento, Vampiro, Matt Stryker, Chavo Guerrero, Rey Misterio, Sexy Star, Pentagon Jr,, Brian Cage, Angelico, Ivelisse Velez, Son of Havoc, Mil Muertes, Willie Mack, Prince Puma, Joey Ryan, Texano, Jack Evans, PJ Black, John Morrison, Taya Valkyrie, Matanza Cueto,


Premise:
The continuing story of warriors battling each other in the Temple.

My Take:
Much its first season, Lucha Underground continues with its supernatural themes in the storytelling and with its characters. Plus there's always fun ring action to watch. It's often described as "lucha grindhouse" and after the first few episodes you can see why.

Lucha Underground, Season 1 (2015)

Starring: Matt Stryker, Vampiro, Dario Cueto, Konan, John Morrison, Karlee Perez, Brian Cage, Sexy Star, Pentagon Jr, Ivelisse Velez, Son of Havoc, Prince Puma, Mil Muertes, Alberto El Patron, Fenix, King Cuerno, Chavo Guerrero, Blue Demon Jr



Premise:
Warriors from across the world battle in the squared circle.

My Take:
Described as "grindhouse wrestling" the show incorporates a lot of mystical and supernatural elements into their characters and vignettes. It's quite different than the other wrestling shows out there as it focuses on long term stories and character development.
