Lucha Underground Season 2 Journal (possible spoilers for season one)

[CorporalClegg]

Hi,
I've gotten kind of bored with my own default data with the game I've been working on, so I took a few hours and put together a season 2 version of Lucha Underground for my own use/testing. It picks up after Season 1/Ultima Lucha for the most part - so if you haven't watched it yet (and you should) there may be spoilers here and there.

For the most part, I'm letting the game do its own thing at this point. There are some notes and exposition included and there's also a character that I use during the game but this is mostly the game as it books cards, simulates matches and plays. Other than that, this won't be about the game - this will be the results and how the federation plays out.

January, Week 1, 2016

LU House Show January Week 1

(Catrina emerges alongside the Disciples of Death and announces that although this may appear to be the restored Temple, it isn't - it is a mortuary and with the Disciples of Death holding the Lucha Underground Duos Title and Mil Muertes return imminent - the Era of Death will be forever
Alberto El Patron then interrupts and advises Catrina that Mil Muertes has returned and that he and the Man of 1,000 Deaths will be teaming up later that night
(Note: I forgot to change the title holder from Prince Puma to Mil Muertes and there isn't going to be a trios title (setting up tag team matches is complicated enough right now) so some editorial adjustments were made)

-Hernandez defeated Ricky Mandel with the Running Powerbomb at 7:27 (78)
-King Cuerno defeated Disciple of Death I at 13:41 using the Thrill Of The Hunt! (30)
Vignette: Backstage, Sexy Star used the microphone and a promo to make Son of Havoc look foolish!
-Black Lotus defeated Mr. Cisco with the Lotus Bomb at 10:48 (71)
-After a back and forth match, Son of Havoc defeated Aerostar at 7:20 with the Shooting Star Press (54)
-Argenis managed to defeat Marty Martinez with the sudden pinfall at 11:14 after interference by Prince Puma (50)
-LU World Championship: Interference by Angelico allowed Prince Puma to claim a victory over Sexy Star after the sudden pinfall at 9:43 (56)
(Cool coincidence Angelico apparently gets annoyed with Sexy Star over her argument with Son of Havoc - then interferes in her title match)
Vignette: In an isolated area of the building, Bengala absolutely destroyed Cortez Castro with a brutal attack!
-LU Gift Of The Gods: Johnny Mundo defeated Chavo Guerrero with the End Of The World at 9:25 (61)
-LU Team Championship: Disciple of Death II and Disciple of Death I defeated Angelico and Johnny Mundo by disqualification at 7:22 (7)
-Willie Mack defeated Jayson Garner with the Running Powerbomb at 8:27 (72)

(Jayson Garner is actually a character I created to test the game. He has decent stats but, as a former NCAA wrestler and nationally ranked pro kitesurfer, he has no background in professional wrestling so he will probably struggle to some degree. I intend to include the play by play for Jayson's matches and talk about the activities between shows)

Jayson Garner vs Willie Mack

Jayson Garner's will have a slight boost to the Brawling attribute for this match!
1:13-Willie Mack kicks Jayson Garner in the gut! (5: Hardcore)

Willie Mack defeated Jayson Garner with the Running Powerbomb at 8:27 ( 24: Player 2- Final Match Score: 72 )

(This happened right after the match so I included it in the play by play. It looks like Dario Cueto has an obnoxious assistant that got after Willie Mack)

Getting into an argument, Willie Mack actually goes after the owner's obnoxious assistant in a rage!
Willie Mack is definitely an impression here with this attack!
Willie Mack actually lands the Sitout Powerbomb on the owner's obnoxious assistant!

Willie Mack confronted and delivered an attack on the owner's obnoxious assistant!
-Aerostar and Drago defeated Mil Muertes and Alberto El Patron with the Imploding 450 Splash on Mil Muertes at 16:42 (4)

January, Week 2, 2016
In an off week, Jayson Garner trains in aerial and increases it by 2 up to 55 (which is still not very good particularly for a Lucha fed)


January, Week 3, 2016

LU House Show January Week 3

(Jayson Garner trains lightly in aerial and increases it by 1 - now at 56 - During show weeks, there are two training options - either a light training session or using some illegal boosts which has some serious risks to both reputation and the attributes themselves)

-LU Team Championship: Disciple of Death I and Disciple of Death II defeated Cortez Castro and Chavo Guerrero with the Simple DDT on Cortez Castro at 10:55 (22)

Major Show coming up in March

[CorporalClegg]

March Week 1, 2016

This is the first 'very important' show of the year for Lucha Underground; both shows this month should have more high level and grudge matches; The first half is Truth - the second half is Consequences

LU Lucha Truth!

In what probably isn't a great sign of his impact in Lucha Underground so far, Jayson Garner isn't actually on this show, which is the first half of a double super show that finishes later this month. He had several options to get himself onto the show, but none of them really seemed like a good plan - they involved going after people who would probably get the better of him at this point. Basically, Jayson trained in Aerial this week but didn't actually make any gains
