Contracted wrestlers to Lucha Underground have not heard about the next set of television tapings, according to reports. Because Lucha Underground gets first priority for anyone under contract, many talents are hanging around and not able to officially book indie dated in August and September. Lucha Underground also tapes on weekends, which is when the majority of Indie shows tape.

Also, Lucha Underground officials have discussed bringing indie star AR Fox in. Lucha officials wanted both Fox and Rich Swann at first but they were under contract to EVOLVE. Fox is no longer under contract and is a free agent.

EVOLVE did not want to let Lucha to pick up any of their talents without paying a hefty price. They did this to get Ricochet to come in as Prince Puma.

However, they made the decision not to do that with anymore with other talents as they wanted Ricochet as a franchise star.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
