Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a big wrestling fan. WWE is fine (for a given definition of "fine") but it's the indies that frequently keep my attention these days. They can provide crazier and more intense in-ring action than you'll see on Raw or Smackdown, and depending on the company, can provide better storytelling, too.
No company proves this point better than Lucha Underground, on El Rey Network. The best way to describe LU is "It's not a wrestling show. It's a television show about wrestling." (There is a difference.) LU tells the story of the titular company, run by a shady promoter named Dario Cueto, as he pits people against one another for his love of violence and bloodshed. But as it enters its third season, more and more aspects of quasi-Aztec lore enter the picture, and that's where this idea of mine comes up.
Spoilers for Lucha Underground through Season 3, Episode 8 below the break.
