9. Sexy Star
Pros: - Regularly wrestles and defeats men - Won Super Fly's mask - Broke Pentagón Jr.'s monster undefeated streak Cons: - Has been booked inconsistently throughout the season - Moves could be a bit crisper - Chest chops are especially lame Sexy Star is the most prominent female character on Lucha Underground, a promotion much lauded for its positive representations of marginalized groups in general and women in particular. LU takes its cues from martial arts films and video games as much as it does traditional pro wrestling, and she's its Chun-Li. She ultimately defeated every opponent who's underestimated her because of her sex. Her secret origin involves embracing lucha libre to give herself the strength to rise above a history of abuse, and inspiring others to do the same. Unfortunately, Lucha Underground is apparently unsure of what story they're trying to tell with her. I mean, she's been beating men clean since last October, so at some point shouldn't that stop being an issue? Sexy should be allowed to win and lose on her own, without constant fretting about her being a woman. She'll be fine, he's a star; its in her name and everything. Final Rating: ****1/2
