10 Reasons You Should Watch Lucha Underground

2. The Former John Morrison Has Found A Home As Johnny Mundo

http://youtu.be/YdrTdUhl48c John Morrison is a former WWE performer that was very good in the ring and he had the ability to be a top guy. While he came close to getting to that level a few times, WWE didn't pull the trigger on him. Even though he started in the company from their own Tough Enough show, they didn't feel comfortable making him a top guy. Maybe his promos were lacking a bit, but in the ring he definitely belonged. The situation in Lucha Underground is perfect for him. The shows are taped in Los Angeles where he lives and he's been positioned as the top American star in the company. As the weeks and months go by we're going to see a lot of masked lucha wrestlers, but Mundo is a recognizable face that they can really build around. During the first episode, Mundo had a very good match with Prince Puma that was on par with the top television main events that you might see on WWE programming. It was the perfect showcase of technical wrestling, athleticism and a willingness to put their bodies on the line to entertain the fans. It's going to be very interesting to see the development of Johnny Mundo on the show. He's definitely one of their most important performers. The bigger the role he has, the better the show will be.
