Chavo Guerrero Claims Lucha Underground is An Alternative Brand to WWE

Finally, the much anticipated second season of Lucha Underground debuts tonight on the El Rey Network. Fans of the promotion have been waiting anxiously and wondering what the next season the brand will look like with such acquisitions like Rey Mysterio to the show.

Chavo Guerrero recently did an interview with Wrestlinginc.com to promote tonight’s premiere of Lucha Underground’s second season. You can read the full interview right here. Below is what Chavo had to say about Lucha Underground’s position in the industry:

“I say that WWE is the Coca-Cola of wrestling. They’re the brand. Everyone tries to compare themselves to WWE. If you make another brand like WWE, you’re a knockoff, you’re RC Cola. If you make a completely new beverage, you’re making your own thing. That’s what Red Bull did. They made themselves an energy drink. Then Monster and Rockstar came out. I’m glad we redefined wrestling, and I really feel we did that.

People will watch other wrestling shows, and if you’re not a wrestling fan, it’s hard to get immersed in that product. If you’re a wrestling fan, it’s a great TV show. If you’re not a wrestling fan, you don’t have to be, but you’ll be a fan of our show because it’s that compelling. We make every character mean something. There’s no throwaway characters or job characters. If they can’t do that, they just won’t be on the show. We have great writers in Chris DeJoseph and our writers. They’re just so good at what they do.”
