Sup, everyone and welcome to the April 15, 2015 edition of my Lucha Underground review. This isn't going to be a long one, but I do want to get a few thoughts off my chest. The main topics I want to cover are: Pentagon Jr.'s sacrificial conquests taken a little too far and the finals for the LU Trios Tag Team Championships is set!
Pentagon Jr.'s sacrificial conquests taken too far(?)
For the past several months, the masterly, dangerous Pentagon, Jr. has been on a vicious acquisition of annihilating various members of the Lucha Underground roster and ultimately making them sacrificial lambs for his "master", who has no identity whatsoever. His latest acquisition? Ring announcer Melissa Santos, who is usually told to announce when another sacrifice is bound to happen. Thankfully enough, Sexy Star swooped in for the save, while Vampiro was going for it momentarily. Did his "master" really tell him to prey on the innocent? What is really Pentagon's motivation for these severe beatings he deems "sacrifices"? Let me tell ya, I do have some theories about this whole "master" ordeal. Remember when Pentagon had the brief blink-and-you'll-miss alliance with Chavo Guerrero, Jr.? When the two fell apart after the culmination of Aztec Warfare, Chavo "quits", and Pentagon started his rampage not long after. I feel that the two have either re-aligned, or they may have never ended their alliance in the first place. However, this is just my theory on this storyline. Hey, you never know. I may have scratched the surface on this one...
LU Trios Tag Team Championship Tournament Final is set!!!
Take a look at these three trios that will square off to become the first-ever Lucha Underground Trios Tag Team Champions!
Ivelisse, Angelico and Son of Havoc
Big Ryck, Kill Shot and The Mack
King Cuerno, Cage and Texano
First off, let me say that the team of Ivelisse, Angelico and Son of Havoc make for a rather interesting and dysfunctional team. I mean, you have two members who have recently broken up, and a third wheel who may have wanted to taste Ivelisse's goodies, if ya catch my drift. Following his return to Lucha Underground to get revenge on his former stablemates The Crew (Bael, Mr. Cisco and Cortez Castro), Big Ryck brought in his good friend, Kill Shot and his on-screen cousin, The Mack as his backup. The three killed it in their semi-finals match, and The Mack continue to impress in the preview Triple Threat Match against Cage and Son of Havoc. The most recent and final team to enter the finals: King Cuerno, Cage and Texano. You have a cool, but cold demeanor Luchador, a F-ing machine and the ruthless rudo of AAA... ... just full of badassery. They used their crafty heel tactics to their advantage to get the win (however, as Vampiro pointed out throughout the match, Puma and Hernandez being on a team together was not a good idea in the first place). I am very excited for this one, Expect all night of these competitors to be putting their bodies on the line all over the temple!
That's it for this one, folks! Until next week, keep on flyin'! LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!
