Backstage Update – Lucha Underground’s Future & Cost

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter At this time, the ratings for the Lucha Underground are not improving as much as the El Rey Network would have hoped. Considering how expensive the show is to produce, this could become a problem for the health of the company. Each taping is said to cost “hundreds of thousands” of dollars, rumored to be anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000. But with the numbers for the show so low, the national TV ads that run during the show are being sold dirt-cheap.
