10 Lessons WWE Could Learn From Lucha Underground

9. Wrestling Fans Want To Believe In Wrestling (And Not Wrestling And Reality, Too) Again, So It's Okay To Be A Little Weird

One of Lucha Underground's key plot points of the season is that the wrestler Drago actually became a dragon. Yes, this occurred, it made sense in the storylines in the company, and it actually made him a much more sympathetic babyface performer. After losing what was basically a loser-leaves-town match, Drago heads out of the temple/arena, and as he walks away, transforms into an enormous dragon and flies away. Before you say, "wrestling doesn't need that sort of BS anymore," do note that a walking undead undertaker with supernatural powers is headlining WWE's SummerSlam event. We've reached a point of no return with fans being able to suspend their disbelief in wrestling. Thus, it's advisable to do one of two things. A) present a product where grappling and maneuvers matter more than creating fantastical superheroes or B) as Lucha Underground did, just take this whole thing to another extreme and put the promotion into the realm of live action comic book. Either way, the people just want to believe. If you give them a universe in which to immerse themselves that delivers in accordance to the depth and scope of their level of belief, it's a solid idea.
