Pliny Petes Luchastravaganza Thread

[Count Zero]

I do have a complaint with this season that the camera work during the matches is actually taking away from the experience.

In wrestling the cameras should be used to enhance the sense of movement, not detract from it. I don't know how else to explain it, really ... but the shots are too tight a lot of the time, from the wrong angles, and they cut between cameras just at the wrong times.

Beyond that, I think they're doing amazing things in actually creating an entire fictionalized world / universe. It's almost like someone decided they wanted to create like a backdrop for a tv / movie / whatever series and figured they'd use the world of pro wrestling / lucha libre and its built-in fanbase and their standards/conventions/norms/etc to springboard from.

Like, it could be a situation where like in 20 years we're watching some movie set in this universe, long after they've stopped holding live events and aren't even a "wrestling" company anymore. (just as an example to illustrate my point)

I wish they'd show replays
I always seem to be looking away whenever someone pulls off some spectacular dive or some other amazing move that has everyone going wild

I couldn't believe there was a main event after the Taya Cage match.. That match could headline Wrestlemania. I fucking loved it. The beer bottles to the face, insane table spot, Cage not giving a fuck Taya is a chick, it was perfect. Mundo has been awesome this season. It was great when he easily could have prevented the pin but thought 'fuck it, I'm getting out of here'.

She's the kind of butterface that makes me think she's a total freak in the sack

Wow, he pretty much just splats on the floor.

 

[Pittie Petey]

Still not as bad as being named after a minivan

 

[Pittie Petey]

Just noticed they dont have a house band anymore like they did in season 1

 

[Pittie Petey]

lol at little giraffe tights

 

[Burning Hammer]

I actually liked Texano vs Chavo. Solid brawl.

As for Aerostar I lol'd. I thought he did it in the ring, so I was like "well that's the best place to botch in this case." Now I see the video, they did break his fall but nobody dispersed for him. Hope he's alright.

Anyone just catch that poster with Perro Aguayo on it?

Shit, Mil is wrecking the disciples of death.

Also was anyone surprised that Catrina/Fenix had history together? If they showed that previously, it must ahve been during season one.
