Lucha Underground recap for June 10, 2015: "The Desolation of Drago"

The show begins with Drago standing atop of the Temple. He spreads his wings, then descends to the grounds...

In the temple, Dario Cueto is in the ring. He announces a Fatal Four Way #1 Contenders Match for Prince Puma's Lucha Underground Championship. The competitors? Hernandez. King Cuerno. Cage... and Fenix would have been the fourth, but he was destroyed in a Death Match with Mil Muertes. With that, he calls out one of the men who wrestled in Lucha Underground's first-ever match: Blue Demon, Jr., who comes out to a standing ovation. Dario says that to make sure that he doesn't have any ring rust, he sets up a match between Blue Demon and his arch-nemesis, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (who is now accompanied by remaining members of The Crew, Mr. Cisco and Cortez Castro), and Dario says that "anything goes".

Chavo Guerrero, Jr. quickly beats Blue Demon, Jr. when The Crew (Mr. Cisco & Cortez Castro) aids him in hitting his signature Frog Splash.

Drago makes his glorious entrance into the temple.

The debuting Disciples of Death beats Bengala, Pimpinela Escalarta and Mascarita Sagrada.

Dario Cueto makes a deal with Drago: either win the #1 contender's match, or continue to be banished, but this time without his mask. He makes it a deal.

Johnny Mundo is in Dario Cueto's office, and he is pissed that he is not in the number one contender's match for the title. Dario says that if he wants to prove that he is the top wrestler in Lucha Underground, he signs him up for match against Prince Puma... All. Night. Long. The two shake on it and make it official.

Drago beats Cage, Hernandez and King Cuerno to become #1 contender for the Lucha Underground Championship, and he earns the right to keep his mask. Prince Puma steps into the ring and the champion and challenger have a stare down.

Meanwhile, Dario Cueto is peeking out the window when suddenly a finger taps him. When he sees no one, he continues to look out the window. He then turns around again to find Catrina sitting behind his desk. She is upset with the fact that Cueto did not put Mil Muertes in the number one contender's match tonight. When he doesn't give her a clear answer, she proceeds to nearly choking the life out of him, until he makes a deal to have Drago defend his number one contendership against Mil Muertes. Satisfied, she lets him go and disappears.

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

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.

Lucha Underground Results for November 5th, 2014

Dario Cueto’s crew: Big Ryck, Cisco and Ricky Reyes, the three men who decimated Johnny Mundo and Prince Puma last week, showed up and trash the crowd and the latter duo. However, this did not last long, as Johnny Mundo goes on a warpath! Big Ryck manages to escape, but Cisco and Reyes stayed on the attack and out comes Prince Puma. Lucha Underground owner Dario Cueto comes out and sets up an impromptu tag team match: Mundo & Puma vs. Cisco & Reyes.

Prince Puma & Johnny Mundo defeated Cisco & Ricky Reyes with simultaneous 450 splashes in a great starting match!

Back from commercial, Konnan pep talks Prince Puma. He warns him to stay away from Johnny Mundo saying that Mundo’s fights are not his.

A cryptic promo of Mil Muertes is being shown. “The 1,000 deaths are coming.” And he debuts tonight! 

Mixed Tag Team Match: Chavo Guerrero & Sexy Star defeated Son of Havoc & Ivelisse when Sexy Star pins Son of Havoc with a roll-up. This was a highly unconventional mixed tag, with the ladies dancing with the men almost the entire match.

We’re baack! We see Blue Demon Jr. preparing for his match against Mil Muertes, when Catrina, Mil Muertes’ “representative”, sends Blue Demon and message by licking him, depicting “a taste of 1,000 deaths”.

Konnan tells us more about the future star known as Prince Puma. Konnan first found out about Puma when a friend of his brought him from the barrio, but Konnan sees true potential in him, since Puma is a fighter.

Mil Muertes (w/ Catrina) defeated Blue Demon, Jr. in his debut match. After the match, Mil Muertes looks to inflict more pain until Chavo Guerrero comes to his aid.

Suddenly, Chavo strikes Blue Demon with the chair and continues to beat down Blue Demon, making a definite heel turn. Chavo also decimates referees and other lucha stars until Sexy Star comes and tries to calm Chavo. Chavo ultimately destroys Sexy Star with a chair, too. One question that lies in all this: What are Chavo’s motives?

After the brutal attack (and several attempts by Chavo to drag him back in the ring), Blue Demon, Jr. is sent out on a stretcher.

Here are some highlights from tonight's show!

Lucha Underground Results for October 29th, 2014:Welcome To The Temple!

We start the show with a brief background of how Lucha Underground came about, with the owner and promoter of Lucha Underground, Dario Cueto making an excursion from Mexico to America, much to the dismal of the fans. He chugs around this suitcase of $100,000… CASH! After this background is shown, we move on to the show.

With my investigations, the scene is pretty cool! There is a band performing on the stage of the arena and the audience is pretty into it.

Melissa Santos is the ring announcer who welcomes Dario Cueto to the ring as he welcome everyone to “his temple”. The briefcase with $100,000 makes an appearance as well, and Dario will award the briefcase to the wrestler who impresses him the most.

Blue Demon, Jr. defeated Chavo Guerrero, Jr. via Submission, setting the standard in order for him to win the $100,000.

A segment between company owner Dario Cueto and Konnan is shown. Konnan is looking to make a deal with the owner by bringing in what he considers to be “the best wrestler in the world”. Cueto seemingly accepts this, but only under one condition: this wrestler had better respect his temple.

Back from commercial break, Johnny Mundo is seemingly stretching for a match.

Taking place in what looks to be a training facility, Konnan, the three-decade veteran, is promoting his newest protégé Prince Puma. Konnan already labels Puma as a Lucha Libre legend, declaring this because it is in his blood. 

Inter-Gender Match: Sexy Star vs. Son of Havoc next!

A promo by Sexy Star is shown. She cuts an female-empowerment style promo, and looks to prove that women are sexy and can kick ass just as good as the men.

Son of Havoc, who is apparently not intent on wrestling Sexy Star disses her and warns her to leave the match whole she can.

Inter Gender Match: Son of Havoc defeated Sexy Starr. He’s gotten a lot of heat during this match.

Chavo Guerrero, Jr., who is obviously upset about his loss to Blue Demon, Jr. in the opening match, sits in distain. Dario Cueto shows up and warns him about this, and says that if he can’t get the job done, then he will have to find some other lucha who will.

Johnny Mundo defeated Prince Puma with The End of the World (formerly Starship Pain) in Lucha Underground’s first live main event. As Mundo and Puma raise hands in respect, Dario Cueto comes to the ring to present the $100,000 grand prize, reluctantly. As Mundo and Cueto struggle with the briefcase, two strange guys mob Mundo and Dario retreats with the case. Big Ryck comes and decimates Puma before delivering the same fate to Johnny Mundo. Dario Cueto then marks himself as the devious owner of the company and welcomes everyone to Lucha Undergroudn to end the show.
