Lucha Talk returns as always with the hombres talking a light week of news, but a great week of action with CMLL's Three Kings Day show living up to the hype as well as a true blue match of the year candidate in Tijuana that gets broken down in depth between Hechicero & Caifan. Lucha Underground returns as well with more goofy storylines and we still have no clue where Pentagón is and why Sexy Star keeps getting singles matches on the show and why the Técnicos seem to shoot themselves in the...

Lucha Talk returns with an episode for the ages.
