Speaking through his official Facebook page, former WCW wrestler and Lucha Underground commentator Vampiro posted a lengthy rant regarding the status of the second season of Lucha Underground on the El Rey Network.
“I need to vent and I hope that the people involved in deciding what’s next for Lucha Underground read this. I have said many times in my career, that without fans, you ain’t s***. Yes, there are big names attached to Lucha Underground, there are a lot of very very cool people behind the scenes, many of who I consider friends for life, some, I owe so much to for letting Vampiro live again and there are some people, talent, who f****** suck as human beings, maybe they are important for this business, I don’t know, but as human beings, I can’t name names, because it won’t do nothing but cause a rift…but I will say it, you suck and I am sure there are people who are sick of me and just don’t like me, I get that and I don’t give a f***, but together, we are Lucha Underground.
Now, the major players who are deciding if we go in or not, you got billions of dollars between you, but you can’t buy fans, who have become family, are like brothers and sisters worldwide who are part of Lucha Underground. Notice I did not say support, I said part of, because really, with the Lucha Underground fans, this is just another wrestling show. Yeah, we bust our a** and there are cool a** stories and all that, but who made us legit are the people who watch the show, who look for the show, who are on social media 24/7 pumping the show hardcore, pimping it out at every turn. I mean, there are f****** ninjas and ninjettes in Brazil, Italy, England, Russia, Canada, etc, yeah, everywhere who read everything, look all over Youtube, s***, I even see insidious promotions copying us outta respect and love.
I say it all day, this was made for the people by legit cool motherf****** and now, the people are saying wtf, where are you at, we are waiting. Look, people change. We asked for love, we got mad mad mad love. Now, we are leaving too many people hanging for too long. We are hot, Lucha Underground is the s***, but you f*** around too much and sooner or later, people forget about you. Look at Justin Biber, hey, he was the man, f***** around, yeah, he is back, but it’s not the same. Make the deal, let’s get this s*** going, the world wants us. I keep hearing Lucha Underground is looking for another network etc, s***, we might be hot and great, but this is TV land, who’s got the biggest d***, no one is going to come to us, you got to go and let these people know we are here. Sorry, it’s just hard to put so much heart and soul into something and not fight for it, I really hope that we come back soon, because I can’t front. Lucha Underground has made me feel like living again, like I have a family, a home and I miss my brothers and sisters.
To the powers that be, we will go to war for you, give us what we need to succeed for you, let us fight this fight we will win and at the end of the day, that means you win, brother.
It is what it is,
One love,
Vamp.”
