7 Things Lucha Underground Got Wrong In Season 2

7. New Characters Introduced Were Weak

Unfortunately for Lucha Underground, this was somewhat inevitable.

Season one was all about introducing the entire cast of the show, from Dario Cueto all the way down to The Crew. Even performers that we were familiar with, men like Brian Cage and Ricochet, they found themselves in new skin as Cage and Prince Puma. In season one, everything was new.

Season two was always going to fall short in the new characters department as a result, but the problem is that the show fell dramatically short. Famous B. and El Dragon Azteca Jr. aside, the new names on the Lucha Underground horizon have been underwhelming to say the least.

Kobra Moon, Daga, Mariposa and even Taya all fell short of the new faces from season one. Now, I'm not saying every debut needs to be a thing of wonder, but the collective new faces from season two left a lot to be desired.
