    Thanks to Bobdunga for reading some lines:

    Was also on a podcast yesterday talking about Yu-Gi-Oh:
    czcams.com/video/YiV3wRxwOqk/video.html
    I chose to make a Mucha Lucha video since I thought it be a short video. Found out a lot of info on it surprisingly. Please draw some #MuchaLuchaSona's I kinda hope it helps get the show attention from WB for a revival.

      It was during the time aol merged with time warner in 2000 the only reason they owned wcw was because Ted Turner had wrestling on Tbs since it became the superstation in the late 70s. Turner actually bought the promotion in 1987. When the merger happened Turner was outsed of most of his power and the aol people saw wcw was losing over 45 million dollars per year and wanting to change Tbs and tnt demographics from a general interest cable networks to a comdey network and a drama network .
      aol time Warner cannclled it's time slots in 2001 and was bought buy wwe for 2 million dollars.

      Though, you have to wonder if TNT is starting to swing back into being a general interest channel, again (since they're going to give All Elite Wrestling a slot on their network, this coming October). By the way, AT&T has bought WB / Time Warner now and its parent company has since been renamed WarnerMedia (who also owns other companies... like Rooster Teeth, for instance).

    In Mexico it's very well said that foreign productions portrait our culture much better than local productions that attempt to teach about our traditions (You have Guacamelee as another example of it) but truth is that there is so much more in our traditions than Lucha Libre and Mariachi. There are ancient civilizations, warriors, mythology with lots of cool tales and science progression that went forgotten after Spanish conquerors destroyed most of it for thinking it might go against their religion, and that is what Mexican productions aim for (though we haven't found the way to do it properly).
    I am satisfied as a Mexican with these productions, I think Mucha Lucha is great and we as well grew watching it (I loved that you showed the Latin American Dub)

    Mucha Lucha: The secret debut of WWE superstar Ricochet. If you watch his matches his 630 Splash is basically The Pulverizing Pinball. I joke but what isn't a joke is when Samoa Joe took the Muscle Buster from Ultimate Muscle. I love wrestling...
