Los Luchadores (2000–2002)
4/10
Better than Marvel's Iron Fist
13 September 2019
This children's show previously aired on the now defunct Fox Kids block. It clearly was influenced by the popularity of pro wrestling at that time as well as Sentai/Power Rangers that had been established on this network as one of it's cornerstones.

The acting is quite stiff, with Sarah Carter's Maria having really bad teeth. The pro wrestling action doesn't really fit the popularized rules in that particular era. However, its action is still better executed than Marvel's Iron Fist if only for it's obvious, earnestly poor display rather than packaged under the Marvel brand name and shown on a subscription service that the audience is supposed to take seriously.

Character motivations, while comically shallow, are at least consistent and make sense and fit with the age group of its viewership. That also means it's better written than Marvel's Iron Fist.
