Wrestling fans are still just discovering Lucha Underground! Here are 5 things you should know about the series.

1. Lucha Underground is a TV Drama about wrestling, not a “wrestling promotion”. They are not a touring company, the matches filmed in front of the live audience are part of the show’s focus on an underground wrestling fight club, and the stories of its participants. This is done with writers and media professionals who have not only a wrestling background but coming from all facets of TV and cinema,

2. The character development and storylines are what make Lucha Underground Special. The stories, mythical and mystical, as well as the interpersonal character relations, are well crafted. The way the show is presented and shot with professional movie camera’s give it a wholly unique feel, unlike any other wrestling product that has been presented in the past.

3. Women are equal to men in Lucha Underground and get the same opportunities. The Lucha Underground Championship has even been held by a woman! There are more than half a dozen bad ass women on the roster, that can hold their own and go toe to toe with the guys! We have seen women hold titles, and there is no women’s division, they fight for the same championships the men do.

4. Lucha Underground has become a family. Because of the way Lucha Underground is filmed, the fans, the cast, and the crew have spent at least a month together during the filming of the product. Because of the way it is set up, Lucha Underground has given fans a very respectable level of access to meet the wrestlers who want to be social. Not only are the wrestlers available to the fans, but the rest of the crew is extremely accommodating and friendly, and makes the whole vibe of the experience fun and relaxing. Combine that with 4 years of filming you have some serious friendships sprouting up, and many refer to themselves as members of the #LuchaKliq

5. Lucha Underground Season 4 just wrapped it’s filming, and as someone who personally attended, I can attest, this is the HOTTEST season yet! I can’t give you any spoilers as I signed an NDA, & we don’t have an exact release date yet but if you follow @LuchaElRey on twitter you will stay up to date with the release! Currently, Season 3 is being replayed on the El Rey Network and will be released on Netflix where you can already get seasons 1 & 2. Rumor has it Lucha Underground will also be coming to Sling TV for those of you who have elected against cable tv.

So if you are one of those who have been holding out, stop missing out and check out Lucha Underground for some of the best wrestling you will find anywhere on TV!
