10 Lessons WWE Could Learn From Lucha Underground

1. Wrestling's Great When A Fresh & Inspired Ensemble Works Together To Make The Product Draw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIPkT7aAhsE Even though Lucha Underground employed renowned wrestlers like John Morrison, Alberto Del Rio, Vampiro, Konnan, Chavo Guerrero, Ezekiel Jackson, Hernandez and more, the true star of the promotion was the idea of what Lucha Underground represented as a crew of talented professionals getting the product over. Compare that to WWE, where instead of looking long and deep into their roster and maybe pushing that the whole company is getting refreshed, they instead re-signed Brock Lesnar and Undertaker to get them through a rough patch. While re-signing Brock makes sense to use him as a fulcrum point for the top drawing storyline, maybe bringing back Undertaker was one step over the line. WWE could've instead done what they're doing now, and flip the card upside down with John Cena being a midcarder, Seth Rollins being on top, and a group of heels chasing this hyper-athletic chickenshit bad guy until Brock Lesnar came back for retribution. WWE's a very different place now than ever before, and the company should be presenting itself as the fresh, funky, DIY-inspired brand where madness is occurring on a weekly basis instead of that place where you occasionally see those old guys you used to watch when you were a kid, and the young guys aren't too bad either. Similar to Lucha Underground, WWE's sitting on a very charismatic and creative crew of entertaining young wrestlers who would do everything short of killing themselves to get over. Just like Lucha Underground, that, likely more than the very entertaining Lesnar/Undertaker brawl, is likely more than enough to keep eyes on the screen.
