How Lucha Underground Influenced Pro Wrestling Today The landscape of television is constantly changing, especially amid a global pandemic. Unfortunately, that means there are casualties including filmmaker Robert Rodriguez’s El Rey Network. The channel, known for its unique cultivation of Latin-infused programming, left the airwaves January 1 after Univision’s decision to divest. A major part of its legacy will arguably be Lucha Underground, a promotion-series that ended in 2018 after four seasons. The show brought a fresh coat of paint when it came to the presentation of pro wrestling. The solid hard-hitting action in The Temple was accompanied by captivating vignettes and videos. Ones that at times made it feel like you were watching a film.
