I have never written a commentary on Lucha Unleashed in its nearly two year history. No reason for it, I just haven’t.
Lucha Unleashed debuted toward the beginning of 2015 and the shows are held in the AWF Arena in downtown Glendale, Arizona, and shares a lot of talent with the AWF.
Since its inception there have been four Lucha Unleashed Champions: Exciting Evan Daniels, XXX Lawrence Tyler (LT), Daniel Sanchise and current champ, The King of AZ Chris Evans.
As with the name, Lucha Unleashed tends to lean more toward the Lucha style then its sister promotion. It doesn’t quite have as many hard hitting matches as the AWF, but tends to have more high flying, and speed up action.
The problem is the shows tend to be uneven. They aren’t usually as good as the AWF shows, and tend to be shorter events. While the AWF tends to go from 6 – 9, Lucha tends to end around 8:30.
Lucha does have something that AWF doesn’t have: A General Manager.
Miss June Jackson, who claims to be a mutli-selling singer, started out in Lucha as a manager. Then one show she announced herself as General Manager and took over the show as a heel. As far as I know, no one in power has ever confirmed her as General Manger, but like a good heel she took power anyway.
While she started out as an annoying manager, she’s turn into a very good power-mongering heel General Manager.
Lucha Unleashed is generally a good show, fun time, with great talent and even better ticket prices ($10 at most). Most importantly for many, it’s family friendly.
If you’re a wrestling fan in the Metro Phoenix West Valley, get down to Glendale, AZ and check out Lucha Unleashed. The next show is 11/5/2016.
