Commenting on the acquisition, Karan Bajaj, Sr. Vice-President and General Manager, South Asia, Discovery Communications India, said, “We are working towards creating a bouquet of wrestling properties on DSport. Lucha Underground is a significant addition to ‘Ring of Honour’ and helps us offer a wholesome experience to the wrestling fans in India.

Lucha Underground is based on the lucha libre style of wrestling popular in Mexico. Each week, a new episode contains multiple acrobatic fights with many famous luchadors whose “mythic” beginnings are told in cinematic vignettes throughout.
