I was today’s years old when I found out it’s pronounced “triple-uh.”

Thank God Conrad is back

DJ KO, since you’ve come aboard recently, you’ve had a negative slant with just about every comment. This ain’t the place for that. If you don’t enjoy what we’re doing/delivering, there’s plenty of other options out there for you.

DJ KO don’t you have something better to do than troll people on a site you yourself pay for access to? If you’re gonna do it, at least do it well. Try speaking English and articulating something coherent instead of using the eye roll emoji.

It’s actually pronounced “treeplay ah”, not “triple uh”

Man, Conrad’s description of the difference between American Wrestling and Lucha was awesome. I’ve never understood the difference. I remember watching an episode of Lucha Underground and thinking it was cringe in the way I look back at some of the 90s vocation inspired characters. But now, I’m gonna go watch me some Lucha and apply this mind set. This was a really cool episode

I personally feel the problem isn’t the pace of the matches or style clashes when a wrestler faces a lucha styled guy , we would all accept these matches if we truly had a reason these two are fighting each other . Please just give me a reason to watch your match and I will . I don’t care if you fly or you grapple but why do you hate your opponent?

It’s funny I live in Pasco Washington and Eric makes you think it’s some old hick town with nothing but Hispanic people who don’t speak English far from the truth maybe 25-30 years ago that was somewhat true but not really Pasco and the Tri cities (Richland and Kennewick) make up the 3rd or 4th most populated area in Washington state behind Seattle and Tacoma so don’t believe everything you hear.

I have two main things that came to mind while listening to this: 1. Why didn't the luchadores get more of a major title push? I think this has to do with the wrestling style and who can and can't wrestle with them. I feeel like I saw a lot of luchadores against other luchadores and only selective matches of luchadores against american or Canadian wrestlers. I think a lot of people in the cruiserweight division couldn't work a match against them. At least not well. I'll add to that the complete lack of a promo from all of them and that lessens the odds of it further. Rey did a couple. That's a couple more than psychosis. Promos really should always be a factor in title matches and feuds. 2. Conrad wanted to know if there was ever a chance for the luchadores to do their own NWO type of takeover. Would Ted Turner allow something like that? Too much like the foregn heel menace to me. I don't think he would. Remember the international object? For god's sake, the west texas rednecks vs the no limits soldiers feud was nixed because of the perceived racial undertones that would or could have been involved. I shake my head at that one. There was a large part of Nitro where the luchadores were my favorite part of it. I don't think an invasion angle with them would've worked or been allowed.

Great show. Thanks for asking my question again :-) just wanted to clarify that the criticisms on WCW's Lucha stuff aren't mine, ditto with the jibes at the influence in today's product - I love the Lucha fingerprints over everything now. And Connie's break-down on US style comparison is spot-on 👌🔥

DJ KO, since you’ve come onboard you’ve done nothing but troll other members’ comments and be negative. We’ve given you several warnings but you continue to do so. This serves as a final warning to stop or you’re gone. Plenty of other places to do that stuff.
