119.04.2024Rassle Fan9.0For the time this show was on it was my favorite wrestling show. I thought it was good or better than what any other company was doing at the time. It was different and very groundbreaking by featuring intergender matches. So many stars came out of this promotion it's crazy! I'm sad it's gone but they also didn't treat their workers very well and was destined to fail.

329.03.2024jjcharg77 watched a couple matches and got really sad when I noticed it was based in Los Angeles. I could have went to some shows and now im sad lol for what ive seen, incredible promotion. no clue why it went under

612.03.2024mtorrealba999.0When I started watching Lucha Underground, it seemed like a very interesting product at first, because it had great production and some great former WWE wrestlers, like Rey Mysterio, Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patrón. And after watching the first two seasons, I loved it. The storylines were great, the vignettes and promos were fun, and I really liked the pace of the matches, taking some elements from american wrestling and some from lucha libre. Some pretty good wrestlers like Pentagón Jr, Rey Fénix, Mil Muertes, Prince Puma and King Cuerno really benefited from their exposure in this company, and I think it's a shame that Lucha Underground was mismanaged and eventually died, but we can still value them for the great breath of fresh air they were for a couple of years.
725.02.2024eltetechori10.0Lucha Underground surprised me quite a bit the first time I saw it, I was quite amused that it was like a TV series with episodes and so on, but the truth is that it's a great product and I think it deserves a high rating because it's like a fresh air for wrestling.

2106.10.2023bigfanbigfan0.0Awful stuff. First it's not wrestling it's a TV show. It's a lot closer Los Luchadores, Learning the Ropes, or Nikki than an actual pro wrestling promotion. It is presented overly phoney, filmed in a studio full of extras, wrestlers known on an international level playing characters unique to Lucha Underground. Basically WSX but with less emphasis on death matches and more on magical artifacts existing. It laid the groundwork for other embarrassments like the Broken Universe and the cinematic matches that plagued 2020 and 2021. They did build an impressive roster, but you'd think for a show so focused on being fake it would try to tell more blatant and obvious stories in the ring, and I'm grateful they didn't. Instead you just end up with a series of spotfests that were substandard to the indie offerings of the time. If you like the matches, watch dragon gate, if you like the presentation and story, watch any other show on television.

3410.04.2023Vanstyler8.0The matches were awesome, but the telenovela style storylines were boring and the overly loud slaps when they kicked were ridiculous, but other than that some great talent were involved in that show

3619.02.2023Brutish Dandy7.0Yeeouch how the mighty have fallen. Still a great show, but they may have irreparably lost the plot at Ultima Lucha Dos. You could actually pinpoint the exact moment where the magic was broken. The Matanza and Pentagon match. When you go from having an entire audience eating out of the palm of your hand for two years to chanting BULLSHIT~! at the top of their lungs with one booking decision, you've done messed things over big time.
3720.01.2023KrandonM Super underrated company. What really set them apart was the presentation. Just wish it lasted longer than what it did.
3805.01.2023CMFunk0078.0This promotion tried an original path in their storytelling, which I appreciated. While it was airing, it may have been the best promotion on TV, but when they didn't get renewed and just let their talent rot with no source of income due to a non-compete clause, they proved how unprofessional they were. They made me appreciate John Morrison more than WWE ever did and Ricochet has never been better than he was in this show as Prince Puma. Pentagon and Fenix got their first exposure to wrestling audiences. Rey Mysterio was a later season regular, bringing some legitimacy to the promotion with his presence.

4019.11.2022crs2857.0Show was normally really good to great. Introduced the US audience to some of the best Luchadors in the world along with great talents from the US indies which created a lot of breakout moments. Did not treat their talent right towards then end and the quality definitely dropped for the last season. Enjoyable soap opera meets pro wrestling show with a lot of unique ideas.

5016.07.2022Klauwis9.0I have nothing but fond memories of Lucha Underground and as far as I'm concerned, its probably among one of the best promotion in recent years. The presentation of the show was phenomenal with the temple and Dario Cueto being perfect set pieces for the action. Everything had a great atmosphere to it and made the matches much more exciting as a result. The camera work, the commentators, Melissa Santos as the announcer and all the small details (the bands, Dario's office, the entrances) added immensely to the atmosphere. The roster was also incredible with a mix of established stars and a lot of younger wrestlers who eventually became famous as a result of the show. While not every matches were stellar, each episodes were so much fun in general that it's really worth for one to go out of its way and binge watch them.

5930.03.2022elvikingo299.0They created their own world that rejected reality, and everything they presented in service of that atmosphere made sense. I'm not even a big spot person, but those matches fit their world, unlike promotions with a supposed authentic appeal, doing things that make no sense to anyone with an authentic brain. It's a scripted wrestling TV show that didn't pretend to do traditional live wrestling at the same time. Other promotions on tv try to have it both ways by appealing to the network masters and also the live gate, which has always come across to me as a phony in-between thing. But they straight up made an f'n crazy fictional tv show with wild characters that settled their differences by pro-wrestling in a ring, and it was awesome. Hopefully this is the future of TV wrestling for the younger audiences that don't buy into the weird mix that everyone else is doing.

6101.03.2022AE-Dub6179.0Great show that I wish was still around and we got a proper pay off. Thankfully we have Penta, Fenix and a lot of the best wrestlers from Lucha now in AEW getting their deserved national exposure.
6228.01.2022GriffinX5.0The in ring action was fine for the most part but I think they went to far in trying to be a "TV show" I could never get into the magic and ancient tribes stuff they did. Didn't help a lot of the special effects looked so bad

6626.09.2021Brando Calrissian I was a massive fan of this promotion and I really wish it could've stayed around longer, but I understand the issues it had with talent which were pretty extreme. The production was the best of any promotion ever and the matches were exciting, but it was backstage stuff that screwed the promotion over. I got introduced to Prince Puma/Ricochet, Fenix, Pentagon, Aerostar, Drago, Brian Cage, AR Fox, Killshot/Shane Strickland/Isiah Scott, and Angelico because of this promotion and I'm forever grateful for it.

6815.09.2021No One10.02010's cult phenomenon of a wrestling show that reminded me of how ECW was the ultimate cult phenomenon of 1990's North American wrestling. Season 1-3 were incredible, just plain dope. Season 4 on the other hand, was kinda TRASH, ex-WWE wrestlers took over the scene (Jake Hager becomes the World Champion), new setting location that did not fit the theme of Lucha Underground at all, lost too many key wrestlers (such as the ACE of Lucha Underground, Prince Puma (Ricochet). The magic was completely gone by Season 4. But Seasons 1-3 were too special to ignore, and left super strong memories.
6907.09.2021Eggi13041.0Man muss diese Art von Wrestling mögen, um dem Ganzen was abzugewinnen. Anfangs fand ich es auch erfrischend, mal anders als bei WWE oder TNA. Allerdings war das schnell verflogen. Diese Sendung/Liga war einfach zu spotlastig, woran man sich schnell satt gesehen hat. Hinzu kamen diese absolut blödsinnigen Fantasystories und die übertriebenen Cuts. Zusätzlich noch die übertriebenen eingespielten Crowd Reactions, die das ganze zu einer Art Sitcom verkommen ließen. Um es mal anders zu sagen: Genau solche Shows sind der Grund weshalb man als Wrestling Fan oftmals so belächelt wird. Übertriebenes und albernes Format, worüber Außenstehende ohne Wrestling Bezug nur noch den Kopf schütteln können, wie man sich so einen Quatsch geben kann.

7311.08.2021ShooterMcShoot8.0Incredible stuff. I really do hope they get a second season because the storylines have been really fascinating, some interesting characters and great matches. It's really a tremendous promotion. EDIT: Updating my review to reflect how things ended up. The first couple of seasons of Lucha Underground were tremendously creative and fun. After that, the show started to go downhill hard. The storylines stopped making sense, Sexy Star, who had very little talent, was pushed. Storylines stopped making sense. Wrestler's "died"... I would describe Lucha Underground as being akin to a rock star that has a great start but flames out quickly because they couldn't control themselves. Lucha Underground had that same problem. It was a mismanaged company that ended with a whimper after a start that had so much promise.

7518.07.2021Suzukigun9.0I still reminisce about the first couple seasons of LU. I didn't watch the final season but the first two were amazing and the third was really good for the most part. I miss it so much.
7611.07.2021Chaotic6610.0Lucha Underground was one of the most unique wrestling promotions we've ever seen with some genuinely fantastic matches. I highly recommend people to check this promotion out.

8510.03.2021Kung9.0For a brief period of time, Lucha Underground wasn't just my favorite promotion on the planet, it was the only one I watched. While you can say that the show ended with a whimper during season 4, the first three years of LU featured some of the most memorable characters and had some of the best moments of the 2010s.
8607.03.2021Makoto9210.0 
8702.03.2021ProWrestlingGuy3161.0LU fand ich am Anfang wirklich erfrischend und unterhaltsam. Mit der Zeit haben die abstrusen Geschichten Überhand genommen und mir dabei das Gefühl vermittelt, als würde ich eine trashige Fantasy- Serie anstatt eine Wrestling- Show sehen. Sehr repetitiv wurde zudem das Wrestling selbst, ich war irgendwann dem dauerhaften Gespotte und laut klatschenden Kicks überdrüssig. Die Idee, cineastische Elemente mit Wrestling zu verbinden, ist grundsätzlich nicht schlecht. Das Wrestling muss aber immer im Mittelpunkt stehen und, was noch wichtiger ist, mit sinnvollen Geschichten verbunden werden. Die Show glich mit der Zeit eher einem abstrusen Fantasy- Film, was ich unter keinen Umständen für gut befinden kann. So gut die Grundidee auch sein mag.

8919.02.2021WrestlingStats14.0Assets: Managed to present lucha libre in a manner to make it more accessible to North American audiences. Was an innovator in improving how wrestling is produced for television. Served as a launching pad for a variety of wrestlers to either become stars or to return to prominence. - - - Flaws: Their absolute refusal to treat the show like a wrestling promotion proved to be their downfall. Was mismanaged and was ultimately sued by their own wrestlers so their moribund contracts could be terminated. The promotion's heat went ice cold by the end of the promotion's lifespan. - - - Promotion Potential: Defunct minor league promotion.

Your crazy storytelling filled with mystical and amazing segments that actually advance the plot, the crazy match stipulations and who can forget the characters, hell even the arena made it feel more genuine. I wish LU would come back to us.

9404.12.2020medouse10.0After I watched the first episode of this tv show, I knew the history is happening on my eyes. Till this day, I have never seen such exciting wrestling on TV like Lucha Underground. Almost every episode had a 5-star match and the storyline was always so interesting I could not wait till the next week. For many amazing wrestlers, Lucha Underground was a turning point in their careers. This is where I saw Drago, Pentagon Jr, Jack Evans, Matt Cross, Brian Cage, AR Fox and many, many more. Dario Cueto is still the best wrestling promoter I've ever seen. To sum up, Lucha Underground was the best wrestling TV show I've ever seen.
9503.12.2020Legend0039.0War seit der ersten Staffel sofort gefangen in diesem Produkt. Man hat eine die Idee von einer Wrestling TV-Show in mehreren Staffeln zu verarbeiten, unglaublich stark umgesetzt. Die Staffeln 1-3 waren absolut sehenswert, die 4 ist dann abgeflacht. Trotzdem, ein Produkt wo man auf jeden Fall mal vorbei schauen sollte.

10001.09.2020CyberVoltes5.0Once the hot new thing, this promotion/TV show derailed pretty quickly. LU has never shunned to market itself as a story-driven TV series just as much as a pro wrestling show and, for a while, it succeeded as both: the two first seasons built a gritty, almost B-movie-like world around some familiar faces and soon-to-be globally famous superstars, which served its purpose as a background to some formidable in-ring action. But then, season 3 came in and LU was already becoming plagued with problems behind the scenes regarding production, contracts and a turmoiled relationship with AAA. All of this reflected into the product: the main storylines were getting more convoluted, side-storylines were getting pointless at best and borderline stupid at worst, wrestlers came and went without (kayfabe) rhyme or reason and the in-ring action was reduced to spotfests that seemed to have little to no planning behind them (considering a good part of the roster had low morale and/or had little time to record their parts by then, it's somewhat justified). By season 4, not only the reduced budget and lawsuits had already made the show unsustainable, but the booking, the storylines and the matches were getting even worse. While many pleaded for a 5th season and the more optimistic even thought there was a way to make LU return to its glory days, the harsh truth is the show was beyond saving by that point. Ironically, what made LU special in the begining was it's curse at its end: hardly any storyline had a satisfying resolution, either feeling rushed or stepping into a cliffhanger. In that regard, LU, nowadays, is actually praised more for what they tried to do than what they actually accomplished: you'll see a lot of people complimenting them for implementing kayfabe-heavy storylines, but not the actual pay-offs to those. And the sad thing is all of that could be mostly forgiven, if they at least had strong booking and matches to make-up for it, but they weren't faring better as a pro wrestling show either. Now, one of their executive producers has expressed his desire of rebooting the entire show if they ever got a season 5 - while there is no possibility of a new season ever happening by this point, I would love to see a spiritual successor for that show in another network, with entirely new wrestlers, new storylines and even a new setting (as long as the team has learned from their mistakes, that is).
