- As noted, Dave Meltzer noted in the last issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the company in just two seasons has lost a little less than half of what TNA lost after 10 years in business. Lucha Underground producer Eric Van Wagenen responded to the report on Twitter, stating that the show has stayed on budget:

The rumors of @LuchaElRey's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Perhaps check with a real source instead of the same old disgruntled one?

The network gives us a seasonal production budget and we produce the show for exactly that, not a penny more.Thats how TV works @LuchaElRey
