It was quite a season. The highs, the lows, the other two episodes. I am going to miss this show for being a somewhat moderate point between AAA’s constant seriousness and CMLL’s indifference, finding a sweet spot of goofiness. Lucha Libre USA did their best to get personallities over; I wasn’t always a fan of which personalities they chose and what directions they took them, but they tried hard and they tried hard with pretty much everyone. There needs to be more people wrapped in their own capes and carried away in lucha libre.
Petey Williams vs Charly Malice: Decent Petey Williams match, though it sure is weird for the anti-luchador to be using all those headscissors. Charile can do some fun things on the mat times.
Jon Rekon vs Magno: Magno got far more than I thought he would, but this was really a Strong Man showcase. He was definitely strong man. The Magno/Incognito reunion tour, coming to you in summer 2012, should be a fun time for all.
Oriental & Tinieblas Jr. vs PR Flyer & San Juan Kid and Rellik & Sydistiko for the Lucha Libre USA Tag Team Championship: entreatingly wacky match until the Masked Man heavy finish, and even then it was wacky in other ways. Tinieblas and Oriental are actually a really fun tag team, I would never have guessed such a thing. I am completely happy with them wining, and would not have guessed that much.

from statements on LLUSA FB PAGE the show is not over just a short hiates trying to get a new time slot maybe a new network crossing fingers. Hearing and reading complaints from fans and blogs like Lucha blogs LLUSA decided on this change well good for them MTV2 sucks.
MTV2 DOES suck!
As for the show, this season, there seems to be more crazy-ness that my girlfriend laughs at, I will say the action is STILL better than anything else on nationwide American tv. ROH is too regional under their deal.
LLUSA can say it’s their choice but this is typical of the ADD programming style of MTV/Viacom owned channels. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it stealthy back on the schedule at any time.
