timster Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I wonder why the UK launch was delayed again. The launch of WWE Network in the U.K. has been delayed until further notice. WWE would like to thank our fans in the United Kingdom for bearing with us. http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork/uk-launch-delayed-26767676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Right, Lucha Underground: I watched the first episode earlier today and it was... different. It's pretty unique in terms of wrestling shows; feels more like an American drama programme than a wrestling show. Also has the look of a grindhouse movie, which fits in with the El Rey Network (going from Wikipedia). I'd say if you head into it with an open mind and forget the style of WWE, TNA, ROH, etc., you'll enjoy it. And LOC, don't worry, there was hardly any spanish in it. Justin LaBar summed it up pretty well in one of his articles... This weekend, I finally saw the debut episode of Lucha Underground from last Wednesday. I got a feeling watching it that I haven't gotten in a long time. It's that feeling when you first discover something new in entertainment. A new band, a movie, podcast or in this case a television show. That feeling of being so entertained, eyes getting bigger with interest knowing how much more you want to see of this entertainment and that you have a lot more you can consume in the future. This was extra special for me because it was a wrestling show. I never got this feeling with TNA or Ring of Honor. Perhaps the last time was during the game-changing times of the Monday Night Wars between WWE and WCW when formats and rules changed. That's what Lucha Underground is doing. Changing the format and rules from how a wrestling show has to be presented. You'll notice immediately a visual change from the wrestling standard. The show is shot on film, not video like WWE is. It has a more intimate and captivating look. If you liked how the wrestling scenes looked in the movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke, then you'll like the look of Lucha Underground. It feels closer to the action and feels bigger or more dramatic. The process of establishing characters and giving backstories might have been the highlight element of the program. I always praise WWE for its video editing and the way it produces storytelling packages. Lucha Underground did a great job of this as well but in a different way. WWE's video packages are like a quick hype video with sound bytes from commentators and wrestlers. Lucha Underground produced them more like a movie in terms of giving the history of a character. The backstage promos or interactions kept with the movie-like theme. Rather than backstage segments, they are more appropriate to be called scenes. No ?my guest at this time? introductions or ?what are your thoughts on your match.? It was deeper routed conversations and script for the storylines with no hokey acting. Part of this is because the main on-screen character with the most storytelling dialogue is an actual actor who plays the owner and evil authority figure, Dario Cueto, who is the on-screen owner of Lucha Underground. It goes on for quite a bit, but I've cut it there to avoid spoilers. The full article's here. It looks like Lucha Underground will be going from strength to strength for the foreseeable future; Alberto Del Rio/El Patron said in his Wrestle Talk TV interview last night he's signing with them, and they're apparently looking to tempt Rey Mysterio over too.

Rappy Veteran Posted November 4, 2014 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2014 The reason is the same reason the original October 1st launch didn?t take place ? WWE is still involved in ongoing negotiations with Sky TV. So ? was this a way for WWE to ?calm down? shareholders last week during their Q3 earnings report? Did they know ahead of time that it wasn?t going to launch today and flat out lied to give themselves more time? Did WWE think that they would be finished with negotiations by today and took a gamble? MightyJordan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
