20 Things We Need To See From Lucha Underground Season 2
10. El Mariachi Loco Returns!
I love me a comedy jobber, and I always have. From the Disco Inferno of my childhood to the Heath Slater of today, if there's some deluded goober who thinks he's the best and all he needs is a chance, baby, I'm all over it. Lucha Underground's second episode featured the debut of the man I assumed would become their signature curtain-jerking doofus, El Mariachi Loco. Unfortunately, Loco had only a few appearances before being repurposed as one of Mil Muertes' henchmen.
Well, I'm here to demand an encore. With season two beginning with the dark cloud of Mil Muertes hanging overhead, we're going to need some levity, and who better to provide it than Dario Cueto's favorite moonlighting food service worker? He's supposed to play the trumpet when he wins, so why not have him make it his mission to do that? Allow him to build Honma-esque sympathy for the entire season, never picking up a single win. Then, at Ultima Lucha II, he finally rolls up Super Fly or whatever, starts playing his trumpet, and he's terrible.
