Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for May 13, 2015

Dario Cueto is in his cell with a mysterious piece of red cloth, which signifies a great deal of power... just as much power as the Aztec gods. He may even just give it to that one warrior that he seems fit.

Aerostar beats the debuting Jack Evans in an impressive match with a Canadian Destroyer-like piledriver from the top rope.

The Mack and Big Ryck are in the locker room. Mack becomes curious about Ryck's stacks of cash and asks him, "where'd he get he get that green at?". Big Ryck says its his business, and advises his cousin that if he wants to make it big in the business, he has to keep his eye on the money.

Fenix, King Cuerno, Sexy Star, The Mack, Cage, Kill Shot and Pentagon, Jr. are in the ring. Dario Cueto emerges from his office and says that the reason for this match is that the prize - Aztec Medallions, but only of them holds a key to immortality. With this, he states that the winner of this match will be the holder of one of the medallions.

Fenix beats Sexy Star, Pentagon Jr., Cage, King Cuerno, Kill Shot and The Mack to win one of the Aztec Medallions!

Dario Cueto has Son of Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico in his office. He admits to having a little admiration for the dysfunctional trio. since The Crew (Mr. Cisco, Bael and Cortez Castro) beat Son of Havo and Angelico last week, they are now the number one contenders for their Trios Tag Team Titles. Angelico addresses Ivelisse's broken leg, but Ivelisse says that she doesn't need her legs to fight. With this, Ivelisse and company accepts the title defense, and Ivelisse is (reluctantly) helped out of the office.

Meanwhile, in the locker room, Fenix is deep in thought when Catrina appears from the darkness. She tells Fenix that he made a mistake burying Mil Muertes, and that the latter needed Fenix's 1,000 lives in order to live. Now, that Mil Muertes has been resurrected, she says that he is out to get him. As Fenix reaches for her, she disappears back into the darkness and suddenly, masked banshees lurk on the top of the lockers...

Hernandez vs. Alberto El Patron comes to an abrupt halt when Johnny Mundo shows up and attacks Alberto El Patron, and smashes his head into the window of  Dario Cueto's office! Despite this, the match continues with Hernandez simply pinning a busted open El Patron for the win, thus staying number one contender. El Patron had to be carried out by the paramedics to end the show.

Here are highlights from tonight's show!

He whispers to ring announcer Melissa Santos to announce that tonight's sacrifice was dedicated to "his master"... which happens to be Melissa herself. While struggling against Pentagon, color commentator Vampiro won't stand for this, and goes to the ring for the save... not before Sexy Star swoops in and saves Melissa.

Since Melissa Santos is too shaken to announce the main event, Dario Cueto decides to take on the task, and remind everyone that the winner will earn one of his "famous and unique opportunities".

Dario Cueto is at ringside for the main event match.

Review

Sup, everyone and welcome to the February 4th, 2015 edition of the Lucha Underground review! As always, Lucha Underground continues to deliver and they continue to get better with each passing episode. Tonight's main topics I'm going to be covering are: Cuerno targeting Mundo, continued "Conquest for Matanza", Catrina's motivations, and the arrival. This hsoule be a relatively short one, but I'll make the best of it. Without further ado, let's get started!

Cuerno Targeting Mundo!

Tonight during the main event of Cage vs. Johnny Mundo, King Cuerno was watching the match from the rafters of the Lucha Underground Temple. Why? Well, we will find out nearing what seemed to be the end of the match, but Cuerno sets his target on Mundo, attacking him ruthlessly with a chair, injuring his knee in the process. This not only shows that Cuerno is on the hunt more than ever, but he may have a bone to pick with Mundo. Whatever the case, this was an interesting scenario, and now I want to see Mundo's reaction to the attack.

Continued "Conquest for Matanza"

Last week, the mysterious lady appeared in Cueto's office looking for Matanza. However, it seems that Cueto is on the hunt for Matanza. I have many scenarios for how this Matanza mystery will pan out. One: the mysterious lady is posing a trap. Two: "Matanza" may be someone on the roster. Three: Dario Cueto may know about Matanza. To sum it all up, the possibilities are endless...

Catrina's Motivation

As Fenix was training with the punching bag, Catrina appears out of nowhere and seduces him with her beauty and sadistic desires. She shares a kiss with him, but tells him not to tell anyone about it. So, my thing about this is what is the story behind Catrina kissing him? I think that this is all a set up, because of Fenix defeating her main squeeze, Mil Muertes last week. However, maybe there is something that Catrina feels about Fenix, and she may use her seduction tactics to take him under her wing.

Arrival of Alberto El Patron!

He's heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere! Finally. Alberto El Patron makes his Lucha Underground debut, but where does he go from here? Now, lets not make the assumption that Alberto's going to be the huge star of Lucha Underground. Is he a viable candidate? Yes! Should he be pushed into it? No! To be honest, having someone in the caliber of Alberto El Patron can only make things better for the company, especially since Alberto is already familiar to American wrestling fans (WWE, anybody?). Also, Luch Underground has helped Alberto a great deal behind the scenes with problems with his former employer, WWE so what better to pay back for all the help? I am very excited to see Alberto El Patron in a company that is clearly his comfort zone. and I know he is looking to tear the house down!

Well, that's it for me, folks. Until next week, keep on flyin'! LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!

Underground Sound: Lucha Underground Recap + Review for January 28, 2015

The show starts with Cage pumping up weights in the back area. Dario Cueto shows up during his training session and wishes him luck against Prince Puma. Cage says that he will win it... because he's a machine.

Fenix defeated Mil Muertes with a surprise roll-up, handing Mil Muertes he second pinfall loss since debuting in Lucha Underground.

Cage will take on Prince Puma later tonight!

Bael, Cisco and Cortez Castro defeated Aerostar, Superfly, and Argenis in six man tag team action!

It's time for the Ringside View with color commentator Vampiro, who is with Prince Puma and , Konnan. He asks Prince Puma how he feels after the blindside attack from Cage last week. Konnan interrupts, saying the Puma is pissed. He believes that Puma is going to put Cage in the hospital. Vampiro gets tired of Konnan intervening for Puma and stealing Prince Puma's shine. Konnan does not take a liking to this, and says that if Vampiro gets in his business again, he's gonna get some, too which provoked Vampiro and Konnan to go face-to-face.

Prince Puma vs. Cage for the Lucha Underground Championship ends when Cage pushes the referee. After the match, Cage destroys Puma. Konnan comes in and hits Cage with his cane, but wounds up getting demolished, too (and has a busted skull... blood everywhere!).

Dario Cueto is peaking at the main event from his office when the mysterious chick that has been sitting in the audience for the past couple of weeks appears out of nowhere. Cueto has no idea who she is, but she is looking for a man... who goes by "Matanza". Cueto, who is confused about her motives, still does not know who she is talking about, and she disappears quickly from the office.

 

Here are highlights from tonight's show!

Review

Sup, everyone and welcome to the January 28, 2015 edition of the Lucha Underground Recap! Tonight's was very refreshing, since all that crazy riff raft with WWE earlier this week, it was a pleasure to just sit back and enjoy an hour of great wrestling and storytelling. Tonight's topics I'll be covering are: Cage's destruction, feud re-ignition(?), and the Conquest for "Matanza". Without further ado, lets get started.

Cage's Destruction!

Man, in just three weeks of being in Lucha Underground, Cage has proved himself to be one of the most dominant forces in the company. Just think about it: won an impressive debut in a Fatal Four-Way match, blindsided Puma after his first title defense against Fenix, and now tonight he challenged the champ for his title. However, if you paid attention to the match, you could tell that it was not Cage's intentions to win the title... but to destroy Puma. Of course, being the top dog in a company, you're going to have a tremendous target on your back, but Puma's been the main target long before he even won the Lucha Underground title - which means that Cueto's looking to do anything in his power to rid himself of Puma (and any other Luchador(a)s that he chooses as well). Lets not forget about that brutal attack the Konnan as well. Earlier tonight, Konnan said in an heated interview with Vampiro that Cage was gonna wound up in the hospital. Ain't it funny how things turn around? Now, HE'S the one who is being sent to the hospital!

Feud Re-Ignition?

With the ending of "Cage's Destruction" bring me to my next topic for tonight's show. I looked up Vampiro's career and found out that he and Konnan actually had a real-life feud back in 2005, when the two were big wrestling stars in Mexico. Apparently, Konnan did not like how Vampiro came and "took his spotlight" and how he was granted a part in a Mexican novela (soap opera). Vampiro did not receive the part, due to his lack of fluency in Spanish. To be honest, I think it is cool how things are coming full circle after ten years. I personally would like to see these two go at it, but after all the things that their bodies have endured over the years (both have nearly 30 years of experience), I do not think that an actual physical will take place, unfortunately. But, that doesn't mean that we can't see a face-to-face confrontation, right?

The "Conquest for Matanza"

The word Matanza means "slaughtering" or "killing", so when Angela Fong (the mysterious chick who's been checking out numerous matches in the audience for a few weeks) mentioned this "Matanza" to Dario Cueto, of course he was going to say "I don't know." I feel that there is someone behind this, and we will only get more clues in the coming weeks. Also, I wonder what Angela Fong's roles will be in Lucha Underground. Will she be in action? Will she be a valet? Whatever the case, I'm excited to see her on TV again. Back to Matanza, she described him as a man, which was the only description that she gave, which means that the Matanza can be any Luchador (or Luchadora) on the roster! We do not know who she's talking about, but let me tell ya, I'm cooking up a few suspects right now.

That's it for this week's review folks and as I say keep on flyin'! LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!

Underground Sound: Lucha Underground Recap + Review - January 14, 2015

We recap the journey to crowning the first-ever Lucha Underground Champion, Prince Puma.

Fenix is in Dario Cueto’s office, who has been really impressed with him as of late. Cueto has great plans for Fenix, and says that it is his destiny to be in Lucha Underground. However, he has a task at hand for Fenix – destroying Prince Puma!

Cage defeated Angelico, Aerostar and Argenis in a four-way elimination in his debut match. After the match, he grabs the mic and says that they call him Cage and that he’s a machine! Cage is here to dominate, folks.

Chavo Guerrero is in the ring. He clearly has some unfinished business with Blue Demon, Jr., as he calls him out to the ring. He “apologizes” to Blue Demon, saying that he’s sorry for not exposing him for the fraud that he really is, and how he’s sorry for not ripping the mask off of his face. Chavo stands up and slips brass knuckles from his pocket to hit Blue Demon with them, but he swings – and misses! Blue Demon goes in on the attack and gains the upperhand. He grabs the steel chair and hits Chavo with it, and stands tall.

Drago vs. King Cuerno ends in a draw due to a double count-out – and Drago diving off top of the balcony putting King Cuerno through a table!

We take a look at a background of the awe-inspiring Fenix. He takes flight tonight!

Lucha Underground Championship: Prince Puma (c) defeated Fenix to retain the title. After the match, Cage attacks Puma from behind and hits him with three consecutive powerbombs. Cage stands over Puma to end the show.
