Lucha Maybe

A Re-thinking of my refusal to watch Lucha Underground.

A few months ago I wrote a scathing piece on Lucha Underground after the incident where Chavo Geurro hit Sexy Star in the head with a chair, a deliberate act of violence against a woman. At that time I said I wouldn’t watch Lucha Underground anymore.

This past Friday’s Impact had an incident that upset me. Bram grabbed Mickie James and put her into a headlock. A deliberate physical act against a female, even if it was a storyline moment and the woman in question is Mickie James.

There was also an intergender match.

Of course, some months ago, the Bully Ray/Dixie Carter feud ended with Bully putting Dixie through a table . . . from the TOP rope. A debilitate act of violence against a woman, and a non-professional.

I am not backing off my original comments or thoughts on the Chavo/SexyStar incident. However, considering the two above listed TNA incidents – specifically Dixie through a table – I cannot reconcile continuing to watch TNA and refusing to watch Lucha Underground.

This is/would be high hypocritical of me, especially considering my praise of TNA recently.

My original comments still stand, those involved and who thought the Chavo/SexyStar incident was a good idea, should be ashamed. I also believe that the Dixie incident should also be a moment of shame.

I hate violence against woman. I understand it in an entertainment sense, but certain things cross the line, especially in pro wrestling.

All this said, I am lifting my ban on watching Lucha Underground. I may even start covering it for Wrestlementary, as I did briefly before. First, though, I want to search out and find the broadcasts that I didn’t watch.
