    We stray from our lore keeping journey on Following Lucha this week by watching and analyzing that first episode of The CW's “Arrow” that Cody Rhodes was on! It's from 2016, starring Stephen Amell, and kinda sucked. We also talk wrestling in the week of October 19, 2016 as Lucha Underground's Black Lotus announces she is pregnant with a Habeger, Hideo Itami gets injured AGAIN, Billy Corgan files for a restraining order against Dixie Carter, and Paige proposes to Alberto Del Rio. Also, AEW's Double or Nothing 2022 event happened, some VTuber plays WWE2k22, and John Cena was harassed by Mo Deen again. Is TK a MARK?! WHY does Arrow sound like that?!!
