Closest to Perfect

In my opinion, this show is the closest that you'll get to having a professional wrestling program in America that gets almost everything right. With a roster where almost everyone is important, production values that go above and beyond to immerse you into the world of LU, and athletes that are all unique, talented, and even diverse (Ivelisse/Sexy Star fight men for gods sake), this is the cream of the crop right now. Angelico's dive from the top of Dario Cueto's office is basically their most iconic moment, along with the Grave Consequences match and the aforementioned Trios finals match. The cast of characters (almost everyone has their own character, unlike Raw where people only get character when they feel like it) is great and you really care about all of them, aside for Dario, who you probably want dead.

The only problems that I have with it as of now (May 14, 2015) are the music and the season format. The music is often generic, they don't have a Jim Johnston, or even a Dale Oliver working for them, but it's honestly fine. Sexy Star has her own custom theme and Dario's trumpet heavy theme song are great. The season format honestly isn't even that bad, wrestlers need time off badly from what I can see with the injuries in the business, but some fear that it could ruin the flow.

Whatever the case, this is a must watch for anyone tired of WWE, and even for those who like it. What's wrong with more wrestling?
