Lucha Underground Executive Producer Van Wagenen recently spoke to The Richest about what to expect from season 2 and more. During the interview he was asked if there’s a possibility that Lucha Underground might crossover with TNA or GFW in the future and you can see what he had to say below.
“A lot of our guys are working with the independents, they work in Triple A and they pop up in PWG, but as far as a mainstream cross over it’s a little tricky because it begs the question, whose world are we living in? Are we living in Dario Cueto’s world or are we living in Dixie Carter’s world? I kind of like Dario’s world a little better.
I’m not a wrestling guy per se I’m more of a TV guy, but the people that drive this show are not really looking to be too aligned with the old school club of a wrestling promoters and wrestling events. We kind of don’t really see the need for it. One of the lessons we’ve learned is that we can create our own stars. We don’t have to rely on established names giving us validity.
No one knew who Pentagon Jr was a year ago, nobody knew who Fenix was a year ago. Guys like Matt Cross and Angelico and Ivelisse were only known by the most hard-core of wrestling fandom. So we’ve discovered that through our presentation and booking and our live events and the editing of the show that we do that we can really do an effective job of creating or own organic original stars.”
