Yes!
As someone who watched wrestling as a kid, but not for almost 30 years, I started watching it simply because I watched most of El Rey's other stuff.
But it got me hooked, going from just watching it because it's on, to looking forward to it every week. It's a really good show with lots of acrobatic, crazy wrestling.

El Rey is a super cool channel. I haven't watched much of this show, but what I saw was great.

Lucha Underground is the New ECW for this era
They have that "it factor". The Luchadors are putting on incredible matches folks haven't seen anything close to on TV before and they also got that chanting rapid fan factor and the insane ECW style arena thing where folks can just dive off of the set constantly. Just nuts. This is the best we got on TV in english.

Hopes for this year:
1. Create a standard tag team title. Having a trios title is fine as well as whatever the fuck the Gift of the Gods championship is, but standard 2-on-2 tag matches are a standard of every promotion and LU deserves one too.
2. Please, DO NOT bring in Rey Mysterio or Myzteziizzizz. Which probably will happen. I guarantee one of the conditions of another season was to bring in those two.
3. Bring in some more ladies. Sexy Star and Ivalisse are fine and all, but you've got Taya, Mari Apache, and Jennifer Blake sitting around, and they could really add a lot to the promotion. I'm not saying you have to create a ladies' championship, but a bigger female presence could help out, definitely.

I wanna watch it legit so I hope they put it on netflix or hulu or something
I really hope that they're able to get wider distribution of this show on something like Netflix, in addition to El Rey. I feel like so many lapsed wrestling fans, especially those who were fans of the cruiserweight division in WCW, would really enjoy Lucha Underground if they were able to more easily access it.

My cousin is probably the most filmed fan on that show.
Saw the show live with him one time and was blown away by the matches.
Can't wait for next season.

Wow, I thought it was dead and buried from all those production cost info. Amazing news.
The legitimate only wrestling show since Nitro in 97 that I looked forward to every week and watched every episode as soon as I could. Probably the 'coolest' wrestling has been since then as well.
My only worry are the rumors about season 2 from a few months ago. Talks of Mysterio and Del Rio being key players in the second season. While I think they'd be stupid not to bring Rey in, they need to keep him on brief appearances for the odd feud here and there. Not as a title contender. Knowing his schedule and payrate, I imagine this will be the case while he works AAA shows. I'd love to see him come in and put over Fenix, for example or get taken out by Pentagon since they were supposed to feud in AAA until Myzteziziz went heel.
Texano Jr is great but he works much better in AAA. He doesn't really fit in a promotion of Day of the Dead Ghoul Ninja Cultists, Dragons, Zombie Warriors, etc. Psycho Clown could definitely work though and I wouldn't mind seeing him show up. I'd LOVE LA Park to get a deal with AAA and show up for a match or two in Lucha Underground. LA Park(OG La Parka) could have an amazing match with Pentagon in a way to get him over as a top guy in LU.
They also need to stick to having very few title changes in season 2. They did a great job of this in season 1 and it made the ending of season 2 feel very special. I'd love Fenix to take the title off Mil since he's the only one who's beaten him and then possibly Drago or Pentagon take it off Fenix.
And just do more story vignettes. The show does an amazing job of sticking to its own ridiculous rules and making you buy it the entire time it does.

Season one should be put up somewhere for streaming, I ended up only seeing a couple episodes.
Netflix could probably get it cheap.

They could really benefit some sort of stream service.
A lot of people don't get El Rey or don't have cable. Hell, even if it's a deal with Hulu like WWE where Hulu gets the episode the day after would be great. Also, they need to push Season 1 out everywhere they can before S2. Netflix, DVD/Blu-ray.

It's only worth it if we get another Konan.jiff out of it.

Cant wait.
Fantastic news. I was getting worried they haven't officially announced season 2 because of the costs. Ultima Lucha was one of the best events I've seen, and the ending felt something like Tekken where we saw a short clips/cliffhangers of various wrestlers. It definitely has its charm.
Last month or so, I saw a couple of these days wrestle across the border for like $10 - Jack Evans, Sexy Star, etc. Good stuff, and you can easily meet them before their match. There's not much security actually.

I actually thought the same.
This is important, I need that season on Blu ray.

Do they chant that whenever something awesome happens that is too good to happen in mainstream wrestling? lol, sounds like the new ECW.

Nope, they never do actually, which is great
Oh please let it happen. I haven't seen an episode of it yet but I'm dying to.
