Season 2 opener was my first time watching Lucha Underground and I'm loving it. Ivelisse main eventing in a title match against a monster was just so refreshing to see. The whole setup of the episode is everything I want from a ryona point of view (and just generally, it was a good show)
The thing that really struck me with the show is:
a) every minute matters. Over the course of 6 hours of WWE programming (3 RAW, 2 Smackdown, 1 NXT) is there ever any more than 1 hour worth of content that actually is significant in terms of story/character development?
b) despite being over-the-top fake, LU is so much more believable than WWE. I can actually suspend disbelief if the show doesn't constantly remind me of how fake it is
I don't think we'll get another episode as loaded with ryona, but I'm just hooked to the show in general
