Seem like fun episodes, cannot wait to watch 'em! Pumped for Willie Mack's and Strickland debut, especially for Mack's.

They'll air in April. LU is taped well into March.

Cool, LUG is getting better and better by the week.

Calling it right now - Shawn Hernandez will be cast as Dario's Matanza.

Calling it right now - Shawn Hernandez will be cast as Dario's Matanza.

He's a big guy, so he may very well be DC's unleashed monster. Really looking forward to finding out who that person is, as well as Black Lotus' backstory.

Hernandez was present on every single taping so far IIRC, and he hasn't moved out of the dark match purgatory yet (Willie Mack and Shane Strickland did), so that's my base for him being Matanza. That is, of course, if he wrestled last night, but the spoilers are not out yet.

That clip's left me wanting more! Can't wait for this week's episode! :yay:

Hey, @Snowman
Here's something for ya. Remember that reminder about LUG you were talking about last week?
Well...

@Bort has already shared it, but I guess it wouldn't hurt watching it one more time.

Just done watching episode #14. It was a good one.

- Liked the intro to the episode featuring Alberto 'El Patrón' and Dario Cueto. I've always liked these intro stuff they've been doing.

- Angelico vs Fenix was so darn good and action-packed. I really liked this match. Oooh, they brought out Catrina during the match, this is getting interesting.

- That backstage segment including Mil Muertes/Catrina/Chavo was kinda chilling.

- Big Ryck's 'vengeance is coming' promo was great!

- Johnny Mundo vs Son of Havoc was good. Son of Havoc's losing streak continues. lol
But anyways, looking forward to Mundo/Cuerno feud.

- Pentagon, Jr. vs Ricky Mandel was good, liked Pentagon's brutality.

- The final segment featuring Alberto 'El Patrón' was good, he delivered that promo with such enthusiasm.
El Texano Jr. attacking Alberto should set up a good feud between the two.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Holy fucking SHIT at that Big Ryck video, he's going Old Testament and shit is on. Jesus Christ, that was probably the best vignette ever done. Anywhere. Ever. "God bless you, my child".

Also, Pentagon is the best.

Probably the best fucking vignette made in a long, long time. Then again LU has been consistent when it comes to hyping up their wrestlers well.
