On its last show before premiering on Vice TV, Major League Wrestling dropped a major surprise, reintroducing Lucha Underground’s Dario Cueto (played by actor Luis Fernandez-Gil) as an on-air presence. MLW has introduced Azteca Underground as a new component of its show, bringing elements of lucha libre to MLW Fusion.
Seeking to add a unique element to the company’s content, MLW CEO Court Bauer has introduced Azteca Underground as a new concept that shares connective tissue with Lucha Underground, an innovative wrestling show that ran from 2014–18 and still possessed plenty of potential when it went off the air.
