Rotten Tomatoes recently published a new article on El Rey’s Lucha Underground, which was written by Sarah Ricard. The full article is available at the above link. Below is an excerpt.
“For some, finding out that pro wrestling is fake can be just as shocking as the news that the Easter Bunny is really your parents (sorry, kids). For Lucha Underground, the winner is foretold, but how he or she gets there is up to the wrestlers. And while they try not to break character, Johnny Mundo (familiar to WWE fans as Johnny Nitro, the Prince of Parkour) said that attitude has changed. “Back in the ’80s, when people believed that wrestling was real… even talking about all this stuff would be like, ‘Let’s get Johnny Mundo in the locker room and beat the f— out of him.’” The awareness in the culture has allowed the wrestlers to entertain their fans in the way they want to be entertained. “I learned a long time ago that the fans are the ones who make us or break us,” said Ezekiel Jackson, aka Big Ryck, whose imposing 6’4″-290 lbs. stature is offset by a huge grin offscreen. “So when I’m not in the ring, I’ll smile for your picture if you want, but I’ll be honest — most people want me to act like I’m choking them.”
