20 Things We Need To See From Lucha Underground Season 2

6. Vignettes On Vignettes On Vignettes

Even more than film noir cutscenes, 630° sentons and mind-blowing casket matches, the very best thing Lucha Underground did was its character vignettes. Whether it was Pentagón Jr. wrecking dudes on the set of Bloodsport or a creepy child reciting the plot of Dragonheart, LU's grindhouse-style short films are the heart and soul of the promotion.

So, you know, more please. Let's not just have vignettes for the upper card guys, because every single wrestler is someone's favorite wrestler. Let's see Bengala bounding through the jungle a la Hungry Like the Wolf. Tell me how Kill Shot turned around a life of juvenile delinquency by taking up target shooting. I want to see an arm extending up out of a mystical lake to give a young Texano a length of thick-ass rope.
