let’s break down the Lucha Underground S3 trailer by frame like a bunch of dorks

I’ve done scene by scene breakdowns below because it seemed a useful waste of time. (This may also work as a check list as the season goes on.)

#NDA rules apply. Maybe Calvinball rules too. Everything’s after the jump so people who to know nothing are preserved, and you should probably watch the trailer yourself first.

Another running man. He’s masked, but we don’t get a good look at him. It’s a green mask, so maybe Dragon Azteca?
We DO get a good look at these two: Fenix and Melissa seem friendly.

  2. Amazing work (by both you writing this and Lucha Underground in general), loved it.

    – The guy you thought was Famous B with the logo on the suit looks like Paul London, from behind. Notice that the logo as the same one that the rabbit guy is wearing in the picture with London and Chessman (not THE Chessman!)

    – I think the crimson cowl guy is Chavo, we see him attacking Dragon Azteca again on the trailer.

    – The logo above Kobra Moon’s throne looks like one of the Aztec Medallions, as does the rabbit logo. Could be two of the tribes?

    – Sami is standing over Mil right? He’s also with Mil in the shot that you thought might be Catrina I think

  3. Is El Rey planning to televise a Season 2 Marathon prior to the start of Season 3 (like they did in January for Season 1 prior to the start of Season 2)?
