Dario Cueto chats with Alberto El Patron, who has some things to get off his chest tonight.
Fenix defeated Argenis with the piledriver. Catrina crawls into the ring in a possessed sensual style on top of a beaten Argenis, staring at Fenix as she does it. Fenix makes a run for it, while Catrina sadistically looks on.
Alberto El Patron arrives as he makes his
Lucha Underground debut tonight!
Catrina is walking backstage when she runs into Mil Muertes. She tells him that he needs to - before she finished her sentence, Mil Muertes grabs her up in a chokehold and yells at her in Spanish before putting her down. Moments later, Mil Muertes is walking down the halls and Chavo Guerrero happens to pop up. Muertes grabs Chavo by his neck and slams him against the walls.
A mysterious man is asking God to forgive him, for he is going to sin. Throughout the promo, there are vignettes of The Crew (Bael, Cisco and Cortez Castro) attacking Johnny Mundo and Big Ryck. At the end of the promo, Big Ryck appears, smoking his cigar and saying that he is going back to the Old Testament and he makes it simple: "Vengeance shall be his."
Mariachi El Bronx performs for the crowd!
Son of Havoc says that Dario Cueto has finally gave him some real competition, and he will dedicate his win to "the baddest bitch in the building", his girlfriend Ivelisse. His opponent? Johnny Mundo!
Johnny Mundo defeated Son of Havoc, much to the dislike of Havoc's girlfriend Ivelisse. Out of nowhere, King Cuerno dropkicks Johnny Mundo from behind, attacks him to hit "The Thrill of the Hunt".
Pentagon, Jr. defeated Ricky Mantel via Submission and nearly broke his arm much like he did to Famous B last week. he grabs the mic and says that he dedicates himself to his "master."
Alberto El Patron comes out to a thunderous ovation from the fans in the Temple, with the AAA World Heavyweight Championship in hand. Alberto calls the audience his family and that he is finally here in Lucha Underground. He talks about his legendary wrestling family including Mil Mascaras and Dos Caras and how they taught him about the passions about the wrestling business, and how he became a wrestling icon in the country he had to conquer, the United States. He says in Spanish, "Back there, they embraced me, but when I turn around they stabbed me in the back." and that he is the first Luchador to hold every major title in North America. He refuses to be held back because of the color of his skin or getting the job (but he boldly says that he gets the job done), and that the Revolution of Alberto El Patron has begun, but out of nowhere, Alberto's rival El Texano, Jr. makes his debut and attacks him from behind.
REVIEW
Sup, everyone and welcome to the February 11, 2015 edition of the Lucha Underground recap. Things are heating up tonight, especially with highly-anticipated debut of Alberto El Patron and various feuds throughout company. Topics that I will be focusing on tonight are Big Ryck's vengeance, Catrina's sadistic desires, and Alberto El Patron's debut. Without further ado, lets get started.
Big Ryck's Vengeance
One of the highlights of tonight's episode, in my opinion is the backstage promo with Big Ryck. A couple of weeks prior to this, The Crew (Bael, Cisco, and Cortez Castro) turned their back on Big Ryck, much to the satisfaction of Dario Cueto. Throughout the promo, there were vignettes shown of The Crew doing their dirty work. All I have to say is, The Crew had better have eyes in the back of their heads, because now Big Ryck is going OLD TESTAMENT on them, and as he said in his promo: "Vengeance shall be mine." Oh, I cannot wait for him to return. I feel that something memorable is going to happen, and I'm glad that he said his prayers, because he's going to be doing some major sinning!
Catrina's Sadistic Desires
So, we've seen a good amount of Catrina on the big screen more than usual tonight. First, she peered up at ringside during Fenix's match against Argenis, and she sexually and creepily crawled on top of Argenis after the match. Also, she got into some sort of an "altercation" with Mil Muertes, who grabbed her up in a chokehold, but she seemed to enjoy it. To be honest, I do not know what is going to happen and who is going after who, but I know that someone's going to left broken and battered afterwards. Maybe Catrina has some sadistic Fenix fetish or something (haha). Another thing that I learned is that never mess Mil Muertes when he is angry (and Chavo Guerrero found that out tonight)!
Alberto El Patron's debut
Alberto El Patron's debut tonight was nothing sort of awesome! He came out to a thunderous ovation from the crowd in the Temple and he was able to get some things off his chest that's been on his mind for quite some time. In his promo (which is much better than his promo work I've heard in the past), there was one thing he said that stood out to me, which he said in Spanish, "Back there, they embraced me, but when I turn around they stabbed me in the back." When he said this, I knew exactly who he was talking about... his situations with the WWE. Since being released, he has had some critical things to say about the WWE - from the pay to the underutilized talent (to who he says that they should go to the Indies if they had the talent, because money has to be made). I can tell that he is happy where he is, and if ya ask me, I think that this a great move by Lucha Underground to sign El Patron. Another thing that stood out to me was the blindside attack by El Texano, Jr., whom Alberto beat for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship. This debut was not acknowledged, which makes things a bit more interesting. I can come up with a good number of scenarios: such as El Texano, Jr. and Alberto El Patron going at it for the AAA title in Lucha Underground, which can be huge for both promotions, or the two having a deep storyline to continue their feud from AAA, which is also good for both companies. Whatever the case, El Texano, Jr.'s attack changed the complexion of things, and things will only get more intesne in the coming weeks.
That's a good load for you guys this week. Tune in next week for another Lucha Undeground review. LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!
