10 Things WWE Could Learn From Lucha Underground

7. Deliver Consistency In Storytelling Devices

In Lucha Underground, the announcers see everything that happens in front of them. That’s it. We actually know more than they do, because they don’t see the backstage segments of the show. Those segments are filmed like a movie or TV show, but not aired in front of the audience in The Temple, so Striker and Vampiro don’t know get to see it either. It's consistent.

In WWE, sometimes wrestlers know there is a camera directly in front of them backstage. Sometimes they don't. You'll see them talk right into it on occasion, and we see them watching TV backstage at a 90 degree angle, because they know they’re being filmed.

They see everything we see, and see fellow wrestlers on TV in the backstage segments...they just don't know when they're on TV...sometimes. It hurts to explain, because there is no way for it to make sense.

We've seen see WWE wrestlers plotting, and yet ignoring the camera right in front of them. They look around to see if anyone is watching, but not the person holding a giant camera, the person next to them holding a boom pole, and the director behind them calling calling the action.

But somehow, the announcers see this happen and talk about it, because the camera broadcasts the signal. It's a maddening, inconsistent way of storytelling.

WWE doesn't even need to watch Lucha Underground to fix this problem, they could just want any other show on TV.
