10 Reasons You Should Watch Lucha Underground

10. The Evil Owner Dario Cueto Set The Table Nicely

http://youtu.be/PcGWToc_zF0 The evil authority figure angle has been played out on wrestling shows, but if you're going to go that route then you might as well set the table right off the bat. That's what Lucha Underground did with the introduction of Dario Cueto. Cueto appeared at the start of the first episode to say that the luchadore that impresses him the most will receive a $100,000 signing bonus. Normally on a wrestling show you might see a title introduced at the start, but not here. There will be titles that are introduced down the line, most likely. The focus for now is on the characters. That's what matters. The Cueto character will likely go a number of different ways in the weeks and months ahead, but as long as he's not on television too much then that's fine. Just don't overdo it. That's the key.
