There's currently no word on how serious the hamstring tear suffered by Luchasaurus prior to Jurassic Express' 16 October match with the Lucha Brothers is or how long the prehistoric pop machine will be out for, though AEW fans will be praying for good news until clarity arrives.

This unlikely hero started catching the eye on Double Or Nothing's Buy In pre-show. He was one of the few highlights in that cluttered Casino Battle Royale, though a true glimpse of what to expect from Luchasaurus didn't come until Fight For The Fallen. A three-way tag bout pitting A Boy And His Dinosaur against The Hybrid 2 and Dark Order was built almost entirely around the big man's hot tag, and what a hot tag it was, with the former Judas Devlin kicking, slamming, and Moonsaulting his way into even the most cynical wrestling fans' hearts.

A month-and-a-half later, All Out yielded Luchsaurus' most electric performance yet. The man has mastered his style. He layers pops upon pops upon pops with every flurry of offense and after not quite breaking out on the indies, AEW is his perfect stage.
