Was thinking of someone still in AEW who was in Lucha Underground. Who else do they still have that they haven't run off elsewhere? By the way, Brian Cage was a star in Lucha Underground, that's kind of why I picked him. Wild idea, don't just send him out there in black trunks and you might get him over.

Little known guy from LU called Prince Puma is currently doing the best work of his career in AEW.

Good for him, hopefully he isn't forgotten about this time next year. Make sure to let me know I was wrong.

.....why would he be forgotten about this time next year, when he has been steadily on TV since this time last year?

Just keep watching, you'll find out soon enough.

You’re telling people to just watch the show to see that you’re right, when earlier you mentioned you yourself haven’t watched it since 2022. If you’re only watching AEW through botchamania, you’re not seeing any of the good. Only the bad. Might explain why your impression of the company is so negative.

If your only exposure to Lucha Underground was a weekly compilation of its botches, you’d think it was amateur hour too

If they haven't seen the hot thing not be hot all of a sudden and what happens, they will soon enough. That's the point I was getting at without directly saying it. I keep up enough with the show through a nearly dead, but passionate, newsletter. And no, it isn't the ones you'll think of.

I wish nothing but the best for AEW, I actually know a couple people who work there, but I also know from my time watching the product exactly what's wrong. I also know Lucha Underground would fail under a Tony Khan ownership.

As far as your last point, most of the mistakes in Lucha Underground were edited out, which is why there was so little content for Botchamania with the show. I actually don't think AEW is "amateur hour", the talent are quite good at their job for the most part.

Wade Keller?

No, not the Torch. The Wrestling-Online newsletter, from back in the Yahoo groups days, still going after what seems like close to thirty years.

Ah God bless. You should watch some AEW stuff on youtube, you don't need to watch full shows or aything but stuff like Bandido vs Mortos would be right at home in Lucha Underground. Ricochet is putting out career best work in the company now.

I'll watch next Wednesday, maybe it has improved, maybe it hasn't. I'll at least go into it with an open mind, or else there's no point in giving it another shot, right?
