Everything has been great imo. The very beginning (pre-Aztec Warfare 1) is the worst part. You could honestly start there (I think it's episode 9 or so) and not miss too much.

For me, season one was like a really good introduction into the LU universe, and as the season went on and characters got developed it got even better. Season two was really good and had one of the most entertaining matches I have ever seen. I do think that as a whole season goes, 3 is the best, although there are some things about it I'm not a big fan of.

With all of that said, I recommend watching it from the beginning, but advise you that if you start give it a few episodes of you don't like it right away

"I went to Supplex City and not only survived it... I burnt it DOWN!!"

LU is so good it made John Morrison the best heel in wrestling

Eh, think I'd still go with:
1. Miz
2. Mundo

but I could understand flipping the order.

What's amazing is that they've almost switched characters from when they were a tag team together.

Elias no where near their level but is pretty underrated as a heel imo. Guy gets a massive reaction whenever he's on screen. Not sure he can reach main event level but I think he's a pretty good mid card heel so far.

Elias is fantastic and really examplifies the difference between being a good heel on NXT and being a good heel on the MR.

Another guy who is showing some insane promise is The Velveteen Dream on NXT, that dude can be a legit main eventer for years to come because of his age.

I work with Santino's uncle.

Wonderful nice people they are, Like people who have kids at work the uncle went and got them all signed stuff by Santino.

Honestly any bad stuff when he was in wwe as you guys have said and probably know was crappy writing stuff that he had to do.

Pretty sure he was universally loved here for what he was. He played his role great. I miss him tbh.

They also made it semi-believable for a moment that he might overcome Daniel Bryan in Elimination Chamber that one year. Sometimes Santino was great, sometimes he was grating, but when it was the latter it was always very obviously due to the material. Dude was a very talented performer.

He was also a legit martial artist. His original gimmick that Heyman gave him had potential.

That was such a missed opportunity. The pop from the crown would have been HUGE and would have made Santino a legit star. There is precedent for a wrestler putting his WM main event on the the line and losing it, so they wouldn't have had to follow through with the stipulation. And it would have made every subsequent RR your dramatic since you would have a feeling that literally anybody could win it instead of now when it only two or maybe three people have any chance.

Ya miss Santino but he's happy doing his thing now, Wade Barrett and Sandow are the other ones I miss.

Santino is on a WWE Aftershow in Canada with Jimmy Korderas (former WWE referee). Not sure if this link works for people in the US or not but here you go

This is the show Renee Young used to host before WWE hired her.

Looks like it's blocked in the US, or at least where I am in the US.

Speaking of Santino, him and Cornette got into a pretty heated argument at a convention

Raw needs to be shaved back to 2 hours once WWE has opportunity to renegotiate TV deal. 3 hours killing all action. Would be 5 min bits turn into 20 mins, 15 of which is a total waste.
