The Story of Festival de Lucha: WCW's Lucha Show Pilot

In January 1999, the continuous battle between the WWF and WCW would expand into lucha libre as Eric Bischoff looked to have a program to compete with the Federation's "Super Astros". Allowing Konnan the chance to put it all together, WCW had a chance to showcase their incredible cruiserweights and latin talent for a new weekly show. This is the story of what led to the tapings taking place, with behind-the-scenes details and plans as to what the look and feel of Festival De Lucha would have been, as well as the reason why the show itself never got greenlit and how long it took for WWE to finally put the footage out onto their own network service. 0:00 - Intro and WCW's Latin Influence 2:02 - The Creation of Super Astros 4:31 - How Festival de Lucha came to be 6:42 - The FDL Tapings 9:35 - Cancellation and Resurfacing 10:27 - Final Thoughts #prowrestling #wcw #festivaldelucha #luchalibre #worldchampionshipwrestling
