Match of the Day - 9/24/2015: Cage vs. The Mack!

The inaugural Ultima Lucha kicked off with a bang when these two collided in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Today’s Match of the Day? “The Machine” Cage vs. The Mack! Lucha Underground proprietor Dario Cueto is infatuated by violence, and I know that he was pleased when these two monsters kicked each other’s asses all around the temple! Crazy spots came at the expense of both competitors, and there was not one time that these two were in the ring. They were everywhere but! They even ascended the match to the top of Dario Cueto’s office. Man, this match may have been under ten minutes, but they definitely told a story of how much they despised each other. But, what more can you expect? These two have been tearing it up on the independent circuit since 2008!

Enjoy this one, everybody. It doesn’t get as intense as this!

Wrestler of the Day - 9/24: Mandy Leon!

Do you remember Adam Rose’s Rosebuds? Well, today’s Wrestler of the Day is a former Rosebud and an up-and-coming women’s wrestler, “The Exotic Goddess” Mandy Leon.

Trained by Delirious in the renowned Ring of Honor Dojo, Mandy made her debut at Future of Honor in April 2014. Just two months after her debut, she captured her first professional wrestling title, the VOW Vixen’s Championship. She would then go on to join the ROH Broadcast team as she does the weekly “Inside ROH” segments. Now, she is currently holding her second title, the Fox’s Vixen’s title, and she has a bright future ahead of her. In just a year’s time, she’s held two women’s titles, worked ROH events and has toured throughout the Northeast region of the American independent circuit. That’s pretty impressive.

Check her out here, where she wrestles Deonna Purrazzo in a Women of Honor match for Ring of Honor.

SmackDown Hotel! - Thursday Night SmackDown recap for September 24, 2015

Kane is in the ring to start the show. He's back from injury, and feels that this is the precise time to come back as Director of Operations. Kevin Owens and Rusev take on Dolph Ziggler and Ryback tonight, while Luke Harper takes on Roman Reigns. The latter match will have no outside interference as Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman are all barred from ringside. As he speaks, Seth Rollins shows up, especially after what happened at Night of Champions. Kane has no recollection of what happened on Raw, which drives Seth crazy. Seth says that Kane has lost it, and is unfit to be Director of Operations. He tells Kane he is not welcome around him or the World Heavyweight Championship, but Kane just shrugs it off and says that Seth Rollins is in a match tonight against Dean Ambrose.

Paige calls Nattie a "crazy cat lady," and Nattie says that she hasn't been this excited to be at work since Paige first won the Divas title.
