I love LU, but I think that might be because it's something that you can watch as "a TV show" rather than "a wrestling show."

The focus from LU is much more on the story behind the wrestling, which allows for the more over-the-top style.

It's funny you mention Rocky because those movies have the most unrealistic boxing I have seen in a movie

I don't like boxing, so that might be why I like Rocky.

I love the concept of LU tbh.

I think you can sell the idea of LU better to a main stream crowd if you present it as a TV show more then a wrestling show.

They'd probably be flipping channels and laugh at the goofy fake wrestling.

i said lucha underground not roh

Bull

I agree with the vast majority of things on this page of replies, especially Mink's explanation of what Lucha Underground is. That is exactly what it is.

I'm going to let Bull's anti-ROH tirade go... but to say Jay Lethal is boring on the mic is just blasphemy. He's top 10 on the planet right now. His promo to AJ Styles before Final Battle was one of the best post-Punk promos in wrestling.

I don't watch RoH much, but I think Bull is just hating on it cause RoH fans hate what he likes.
