Since it's now on Netflix (in the US), I decided to watch the first episode, and I dug it overall. I appreciate the different presentation they're going for and the show was well booked for the most part. The things that interested me the most were Konnan's angle and the owner guy, as well as Prince Puma and how his character was introduced. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the woman vs man match. They hyped Sexy Star as someone who could kick a man's ass, but then she proceeded to get her ass kicked, so that was kinda underwhelming. I'll watch more.

I've seen the first 10 episodes since it was added on Netflix, overall I think the new way to present pro wrestling is interesting. The biggest thing holding it back is that for the most part there's very little character development and differential on the majority of the roster. Outside of the main story you don't get much on who one masked guy is compared to another and really why they are fighting (biggest example is Drago vs Pentagon Jr). Also, I'm not a fan of the woman vs man matches and really not a fan of the miniature wrestlers vs others. They need divisions.

This. The first few episodes are a bit slow and lack direction but everythin after Aztec Warfarfare is pretty great. I havnt checked out seasons 2 or 3 yet but im looking foward to it.
