EMLL - Lucha Underground for CornellVerse

[Tag01]

<p>A ton has changed for EMLL since 2016. What was a vague hardcore-theme lucha promotion is now an absolutely bonkers comic book/fighting promotion with storylines that make Lucha Underground seem normal. I've compiled all the lore from the game and ran through what makes this promotion tick. It's far more interesting than it was previously, despite some weird mechanics. </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>The Product</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;">

</span></p><p>

EMLL uses Dark Fantasy Lucha, which is a type of Grindhouse Lucha Libre. It is rated on a 60-40 split between match quality and popularity, depending on what is rated highest. </p><p> </p><p>

So as to not bury the lede, the most important factor is that they only run singles matches. There are no trios and no tag teams. In fact, they only run one multi-man match each year. It is a four corners match where the winner obtains one of the three mystical rings the promotion uses for secondary titles. More on those later. </p><p> </p><p>

This product is heavy on hardcore matches but isn't a deathmatch product. It's hard to get TV, but you get a rabid fanbase that will accept all types of matches. Mask and hair matches are also huge, so it's a fun product. </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>The EMLL Multiverse</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p>

The central theme behind EMLL's stories is the Multiverse. It's the idea that there are countless other timelines just like our own, and for some reason they have become intertwined in a Mexican wrestling promotion. </p><p> </p><p>

Most of the workers come from their own timeline, where Earth is very different. Dolphin Master comes from a version of the planet that is completely covered in water. Snake King comes from a timeline where earth is controlled by the powerful Snake God. </p><p> </p><p>

It remains unclear what timeline many of the workers come from. However, there are a few timelines that are big parts of the EMLL story. The Dark Universe is arguably the largest; at least five members of the roster hail from this mysterious, evil place. </p><p> </p><p>

Another shard of the multiverse central to these stories is the Hellmouth, a land of undead that is the source power for multiple wrestlers. </p><p> </p><p>

The rest of the story has not been fleshed out, although there are some hints in the wrestler bios. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="font-size:12px;">The Roster</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">

</span></strong></p><p>

The roster is large, with more than 30 regular workers for a promotion that runs once a month. If you stick the only singles match thing, you've got more people than you need. That said, your roster is very strong given the size of the promotion. </p><p> </p><p>

The top of the card is heavily tilted to the Rudos however, with 5 out of the 7 top stars and stars being heels. However, top technico Captain Lucha is the centerpoint of the company. Formerly Angel de Mexico, he was unmasked only to re-mask as the cartoon superhero version of himself. </p><p> </p><p>

You have quite a few good workers, with 7 or 8 guys that are rated 70 or above with their best style. The mic work isn't as strong, but you have a few guys that could probably improve quickly. You also have a fairly young roster, with your oldest star at 37 and most of them under 35.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Roster Moves</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">

</span></strong></p><p>

There is no one that is a huge drag, skill-wise. You do have several green rookies that aren't great, but they all are cheap. If you are sticking with all singles matches, you have more guys than you can use already. While I wouldn't make any roster moves, adding a top face would be your best option. Chess Master is a good fit both for his popularity, his work, and his wacky gimmick. El Orgulloso is a strong option if you need a new face. He is popular enough to jump into midcard and would be arguably your best worker from day one. Unless you open tag teams or fire a bunch of people, you're pretty set with the workers you have. </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Titles</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

In 2017, Guerrero Muerto unified all three of the EMLL singles titles at Mortal Combat VI. Since then, Campeonato del Mundo EMLL has been the triple crown world title, and by far the top prize in the company. It is currently held by your top Technico, Captain Lucha. </p><p> </p><p>

For secondary titles, there are now three achievements known as the Rings of Power. Each of these rings is earned at annual events, and they are all a little different. In canon, these rings are immensely powerful objects taken from other parts of the multiverse. </p><p> </p><p>

The Ring of Life is considered the most powerful. It is won in EMLL's only non-singles match, a four way match that cocurs at the Battle for the Ring. It is not defended, but many stories revolve around workers trying to take it. Dolphin Master currently holds the ring. In canon, Charron is obsessed with the Ring of Life and believes he can destroy the multiverse entirely with it. It appears vacant ingame since it is not defended. Its origin is unknown. </p><p> </p><p>

The Ring of Chaos is earned each February by winning a battle royal. The winner becomes the Avatar of Chaos, although there is no mention of what that means. The Ring of Chaos has been used to control other wrestlers, however. It is currently held by Anarchist but is vacant ingame since its not defended. The Ring of Chaos comes from the Dark Universe, brought here by Trickster. </p><p> </p><p>

The Ring of Destiny has the most tangible benefits and is most like a secondary title. It allows the holder to cash in the ring for a title shot, and it can be defended in matches. It is also defended each December in a tournament. It is currently held by Deaths' Head. It was forged by Cyclops in the Dark Universe.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Stables</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Incredibly, there are none. Despite much talk of factions like the Kingdom of Blood, they are up to this point entirely made up of single members. Even the wrestler from the same part of the multiverse are not aligned. For example, Cyclops is a tecnico fugitive from the Dark Universe that does not get along with others from that shard of the multiverse. </p><p> </p><p>

There are hints of stables forming, however. Demon King is currently feuding over the title with Captain Lucha, and has vowed to build an army. Anarchist previously used the Ring of Chaos to control La Bestia Morada, but his former lackey is now his rival. Death's Head also seems primed to introduce more member of the Kingdom of Blood. </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Wrapping up</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>

</strong></span></p><p>

You have a ways to go before you can get TV or PPV, and your options are limited. However, getting popularity into the 20s in one other region gets you onto PPV, and two other regions gets you a TV deal. It's possible. </p><p> </p><p>

You are the only promotion based on Noreste, but you have potential regional battles with CILL and OLLIE depending on where they run. You also have a friendly relationship and talent trade agreement with CZCW, but you can't steal their guys. </p><p> </p><p>

This is about as wacky as it gets, but once you're on TV and making some money it's a perfect fed for making heavy use of cinematic matches. You also have a 100 percent backstage rating with no one proving to be too problematic. You could become a national player if you survive the poaching that is bound to happen along the way.</p>

This is SUCH a great thread, thanks Tag! Super into the lore of EMLL which looks phenomenal.

[Matt_Black]

I haven't checked yet, so I'll ask- does EMLL still have a ridiculous amount of money for a company their size?

[PuroJoshi]

this was a really interesting read, never been able to get into the cverse but I was a huge Lucha Underground fan. Definitely going to have to give them a look. Thanks for sharing!

[Irish Wolf]

I am in love with EMLL now. Except for the no multiman match thing. That seems really off. But I'm gonna give it a whirl and honestly it is all thanks to this thread

[Irish Wolf]

OK I have a question. Death's Head's bio mentions the Kingdom of Blood but no one else's bio does. Has anyone else seen anything about KoB anywhere?

[FlippantFox]

OK I have a question. Death's Head's bio mentions the Kingdom of Blood but no one else's bio does. Has anyone else seen anything about KoB anywhere?

 

It seems like it's an off-screen faction Death's Head is a representative of. The game seems to have a few hooks for stables, but none actually set up, with Demon King saying he's going to bring an army to fight Captain Lucha, Death Head and the Kingdom of Blood, and one I haven't seen people mention which might be my favorite, Rey Soldado is the leader of the Time Corps, which sounds absolutely incredible.

[Irish Wolf]

Yeah there are a few I haven't figured out yet. Some that just say "from elsewhere in the multiverse." So far i've got them separated into mostly Prime, Dark, and Hellmouth with a few outliers

 

Prime

 

Anarchist

Aprendiz Jr.

Blue Wolf

Boriken Love Machine

Captain Lucha

El Bandito Jr.

Hijo Del Vigilante

La Estrella

Powerful Man

Pyromaniac

Scorpion

Snake King - It says that he is a follower of the Snake God who broke the universe into the multiverse but not that he is from another realm

Tarantula - It says he worships the Spider god but not that he's from a different realm

 

Hell Mouth

 

Calavera

El Hijo Del Fantasma

Guerrero Muerto

Hellfire

 

Dark

 

Charron

Cyclops

La Bestia Morada

Malefic

Samael the Accuser

Trickster

 

Future Prime

 

Rey Soldado

 

Time Stream

 

Screamer

 

 

Water World

 

Dolphin Master

 

???

 

Death's Head

Decipher

Delirium

Demon King

Goblin Prince

Noxious

 

I'm thinking about making Goblin King from a Fey universe and giving him a bunch of Fey followers like Redcap and stuff. Death's Head is part of the KoB but not sure if the KoB is from the Dark Dimension or not.

 

I also like the Zebra Man is the only sane one among the field of Chaos.

 

If anyone has a different take or I missed something I'm all ears. I love this stuff but I'd like to get at least the given canon stuff right.

[TEWFan]

<p>I started a save and have some ideas.</p><p> </p><p>

Since Guerrero Muerto and Demon King are supposed to be the same person but from a different part of the multi-verse, I am assuming both are Hellsmouth or Dark World or whatever.</p><p> </p><p>

I brought in Mustang Blanco Jr to work a storyline with Zebra Man. Both are from the Equine Universe, but Zebra Man denies it because he does not remember. Mustang is trying to undo his amnesia and bring him into this world of chaos and comic books.</p><p> </p><p>

I also brought in Chess Maniac as a "one-step ahead" kind of Genius...tecnico? Well, the way I figured, he and Samael are rivals from another dimension as Chess Maniac foiled Samael's plan in one realm, so Samael has immediately targeted him to avoid a repeat of previous events. </p><p> </p><p>

Also, **** it, I am using Mortal Kombat's scorpion as the basis for this Scorpion. I am building up Hellfire as his rival, with Hellfire eventually beating him and unmasking him/absorbing him to create a new being: Hellfire Scorpion. Yes, he will have a skull mask and say Get Over Here!</p>

[Irish Wolf]

So EMLL seems ripe for factions and faction wars. Does anyone else see the only singles matches thing as a hindrance to good stroytelling?

[FlippantFox]

Yeah, I gotta agree with you. I get what they're going for with the fighting game thing, but even a lot of modern fighting games have tag team like mechanics, and with the full on comic-book/horror movie style, it feels weird keeping every match to just one on one.

[MightyDavidson]

Definitely liking what I'm seeing in EMLL. I can already see somebody trying to unite the Dark and Hellmouth factions, Death's Head, Charron and Hellfire immediately come to mind for that. Death's Head wants them for the Kingdom of Blood of course but who knows the aims of Charron or Hellfire? Cyclops of course is not down with that idea.

 

Anarchist and Trickster I could see teaming up to spread chaos throughout EMLL. Only nominally working together of course since chaos is their reason for everything which doesn't lend itself to teamwork.

 

Captain Lucha is naturally trying to form some sort of Lucha Justice League.

[Tag01]

So EMLL seems ripe for factions and faction wars. Does anyone else see the only singles matches thing as a hindrance to good stroytelling?

 

I am for sure doing away with the no tag thing. It's a hindrance for storytelling and making use of your roster, IMO.

 

My general plan is to eventually have three rudos with unclear backgrounds join the Kingdom of Blood. They'll kidnap Cyclops, and Death's Head will force him to melt down the ring he created into three. They'll serve as the trios title. I'll probably make the Avatar of Chaos the new title-shot cash in option.

 

Also, they don't allow managers. This seems like a perfect place to have them. Gonna swap that out too.

Nice. As far as Death's Head, I don't know what you would call it but I read it as the KoB emanating from its own universe.

Interesting idea. Only maybe instead of melting down the Ring of Destiny, which seems like a waist since it'd prevent one of them from winning it and getting a shot at the triple crown, they force Cyclops to give them the location of three artifacts that only work when wielded together thus necessitating groups of three to fight over it? Just a suggestion.

So I found another thing I'm not so hot on for EMLL - and really while I want products to be adjustable - Fans are put off by cheap endings. This promotion has people from Hell, undead, a trickster god. Wouldn't they be expected to cheat to win. It doesn't really seem to match the theme of the promotion.

[TEWFan]

<p>I have restarted my game to try some new things but here are some ideas I am working with.</p><p> </p><p>

- I will slowly introduce tag teams and factions by working the concept of "The Great War" into the stories. Essentially a huge war for power is coming and you don't want to be alone for it.</p><p> </p><p>

- I will introduce a 4th ring that is so powerful that no single man can posses it. If one single man tried to wear it, the ring would consume his soul. Therefore, the ring's gem was split into three rings. That will be the birth of the Trios Title and it's inception will be the catalyst for factions and teams. I will do this slowly over the span of one year or so. The 4th ring concept will be introduced by a new character I will be bringing in as a time traveler of sorts. </p><p> </p><p>

- Another long term story: This one will take place in 1-2 years (or 1-2 months of EILL try to steal either guy LOL) in which Demon King and Guerrero Muerto will eventually fuse into one being by one unmasking/absorbing the other. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

I am eager to get this company to a larger size so I can go crazy with cinematic matches and convoluted scenarios for matches. I mean, I could do that NOW for a diary, but it would not make sense moneywise.</p>

I think by this point I've restarted my EMLL save around four times, and I still haven't even gotten to Clash of the Multiverse!</p><p> </p><p> I think I've finally worked out a pretty good start though. First thing I did was start up a talent trade, no stealing and excursion relationship with ZEN, and then after that I made them sister companies. I'm definitely planning to run a big double-length special where I bring as many ZEN guys as possible and do a Crisis-type crossover with the ZEN and EMLL universes clashing. </p><p> </p><p> I've brought in Chessmaster as an innocent man who's entire timeline was destroyed by some mysterious force I haven't figured out yet, leaving him as the sole survivor, rescued by the Time Corps. I'm also gonna bring in El Serpiente as a younger alternative timeline version of Snake King, and I think those three will make a good start to my Time Corps stable, who Screamer automatically makes for a great feud. </p><p> </p><p> Since managers/on-screen personalities are surprisingly lacking in EMLL, I'm bringing in Julia Alvarez (mostly because I love her render,) Gabriela Ortega to play Minerva, the goddess of war and also act as sort of a babyface authority figure for EMLL. I'm bringing in Shandi as a pop star from 3,000 years in the future and La Estrella's valet. And finally, I'm bringing in Lucia Valencia who I'll probably just pair with Captain Lucha unless I can think of something better for her. </p><p> </p><p> For new storylines, I'm starting up an Avatar of Elements thing in EMLL, with Dolphin Master as the Avatar of Water, Pyromaniac as the Element of Fire, and I'm planning on bringing in Sunburst as the Avatar of Air and Ajax the Skullsplitter as the Avatar of Earth. I thought of doing a sort of Captain Planet thing with them, but also I have no idea how I could actually make that function in terms of a wrestling show, so I scrapped that idea and I think my current plan is to have all four of them needed to stop the Avatar of Void, my next big heel I'm gonna introduce. (Probably Hysteria, unless I think of someone I'd prefer in the role)</p><p> </p><p> El Toro de Oro Jr, Mustang Blanco Jr, and Payaso Jr are all potentially great signings for young, unsigned luchadors that could fit in well to EMLL. Styx is another one who's not quite as good as the others, but his incredible look means I've picked him up every single game, although he's probably mostly just gonna fill out Demon King's stable at this point. </p><p> </p><p> How is everyone else's multiverses doing?</p>

Despite the LU feel, the in game description mentions comic books and fighting games. I think the no cheap finishes thing is a nod to the “must be a winner” aspect of fighting games.
