Because one is a literal dragon who wrestles and the other apparently can rocket into space.
AfterUltima Lucha, the shows replacement for aWrestleMania-key in PPV, the future was up in the air.
It wouldve been tragic for the show to be over for many reasons.
There were so many places for it to go.
It was fresh and new in a business that needed it.
Plus it would be a travesty of justice knowing that TNA could outlive it.
Luckily, the second season has been confirmed.Itll film in December and start airing in early 2016.
But now that we know its coming back, what can we expect fromLucha Undergroundseason 2?
Luckily, the finale brought closure many times over while transitioning into new storylines.
The trios title situation writes itself.
While that title change will lead to a rematch arc, Prince Puma wont be so lucky.
Season Two isnt about him regaining the title.
Its time for the new dynamic to shine.
Who can challenge Death himself and survive?
Pentagon Jr. can talk up how hes so lacking in fear that not even Death gives him pause.
Theres a lot of fun to be had with this setup.
Its a cross between the Dragon Balls, the Money in the Bank briefcase, and the X-Division title.
People compete for seven different medallions.
Those seven put them on the line for a chance to win the Gift of the Gods Championship belt.
The great hunter has his eye on the belt and wants that opportunity for himself.
Can even King Cuerno hunt and defeat the man who just wont die?
THE COMING WAR AND THE NEW HERO
Dario Cueto is an interesting man.
Despite being obviously evil and an actual murderer, hes had no obvious ambitions outside of running his promotion.
Like, when you look at it,Lucha UndergroundIS his endgame.
Now there seems to be more to it.
Cueto had her captured quickly and chosenotto kill her when he had no obvious reason to keep her alive.
Instead, he convinced her that Dragon Azteca killed her parents.
Azteca appeared to rescue her and instead, Lotus murdered him.
Somehow, this is playing into Cuetos hands.
The final seconds of the finale made him look like some kind of grinning Devil.
Hes playing Black Lotus and using her, but why?
Meanwhile, theres another new player in this.
Many figured this youngster to be Prince Puma, but that wasnt the case.
Theres a new Dragon Azteca and hes out to set things right.
It was the best.
Matanza remained unseen for the whole season until the ending montage in the finale.
Encased in a trailer, we got to see his face briefly.
Obviously, hell make his first real appearance in Season Two, but in what way?
People have been speculating who could portray such a monster for about a year now.
Lots of jokes about the Great Khali, but like no.
If anyone, Id love to see CHIKARAs Max Smashmaster play the role.
Guys big, agile, and straight-up great in the ring for a man his size.
Hed be wearing a mask already, so they could hide the whole differing nationality thing.
Besides, he started his career as a guy who only spoke in growls and grunts.
Meanwhile, other wrestlers grew over that time.
After sacrificing Vampiros arm, Pentagon Jr. found out that Vampiro was secretly his master all along.
Now proven worthy, Pentagon Jr. follows Vampiros lead and weve yet to see what that entails.
Puma vs. Pentagon is such an easy feud that it has to be on deck.
The two never even crossed paths in any meaningful way.
Nows as good a time as ever.
This story may have hit a bump on its own.
Unless Texano is simply sitting this season out, hes going to need to find a partner and fast.
VENGEANCE FOR BIG RYCK
Big Ryck was an odd duck in the first season.
He started off as the top heel and drifted into being pretty irrelevant while remaining quasi-unbeatable.
Hell beat up his own family if paid to.
Both of those aspects caused Daivari to show up and nail him with a chair atUltima Lucha.
Normally, that would mean Big Ryck would go for revenge, as hes wont to do.
Unfortunately, Big Rycks announced that hes retiring from wrestling.
Thats just fine, though.
Even though their team lost in the finals, the two still kept working together.
They teamed up in a tag match against Prince Puma and Hernandez, which wasnt out of the ordinary.
But then they started working together a lot during multi-man matches.
So whats this about?
Where are they going with this?
I cant help but think that Cuernos going to be one of the top stars in Season Two.
Just like a hunter, unnoticed in the background, biding his time for the strike.
MARTYS SISTER
Marty The Moth Martinez, eh?
Thats a weird late addition to the roster.
Marty ended up being humiliated by Sexy Star several times, each time being his own fault.
So whats that about?
Who is Martys sister and just how crazy is she going to be?
Thats all well and good since the roster needs more female representation.
WHOS THAT JUMPING OUT THE SKY?
The same man who fairly recently left WWE and has been wrestling in AAA.
That is, if his knees hold up.
Or if WWE doesnt yank him away with a bunch of zeroes on a paycheck.
I guess well have to wait a few months to find out.
