1,000TH BLOG POST: Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for March 9, 2016

2x07: "Death Comes in Threes"

The Mack meets with Sexy Star in the locker room. He has a match with Marty "The Moth" Martinez and wants her at ringside, but she initially refuses due to what "The Moth" put her through. The Mack says this isn't like her, and says the Sexy Star he knows is a fearless ass-kicker. Sexy Star changes her mind, and she and The Mack fist bump.

During The Mack vs. Marty "The Moth" Martinez, we meet a woman in an elaborate moth costume as a strange music box melody plays. She distracts not only Sexy Star, but also The Mack, and Marty "The Moth" Martinez is able to beat The Mack. We find out that this woman is Marty's sister, Mariposa. Sexy Star, hiding and afraid behind the post, easily falls victim to an attack from Mariposa.

We get a closer look at Fenix, who grew up and prepared for competition in Lucha Underground despite all the naysayers and has now made a name for himself.

Jack "The Dragonslayer" Evans is confronted by Drago backstage. Drago makes quick work of a light fixture, then dares Evans to slay him now...but "The Darewolf" PJ Black, still sore from last week, joins in on the fun. After all three men pull out their nunchaku, Drago almost makes quick work of them, but Evans and Black get the upper hand. All of a sudden, Aerostar shows up and saves Drago with some light-up nunchaku action of his own, and Aerostar and Drago join forces.

Before the next match, Taya shows up in place of Johnny Mundo, and says that since Johnny kicked Cage's ass, it's time for her to do the same. After she introduces herself, she asks Cage if he has to balls to go face-to-face with her.

Despite much interference, weaponry and double-teaming from Johnny Mundo, Cage stills beats Taya in a no-disqualification match.

We see another commercial from Famous B, who now calls himself "a recently retired underground fighter" and gives a woman on the commercial his "magic touch."

Ivelisse tells Angelico and Son of Havoc they have their tag match next week against The Disciples of Death (Barrio Negro, El Siniestro de la Muerte and Terce)...but she had to agree to an ultimatum. If they don't win, they're out of Lucha Underground for good.

Mil Muertes retains the Lucha Underground Championship against Prince Puma and Pentagon Jr. in a triple threat match. After the match, however, Fenix shows up and says he's cutting the celebration short, as he will turn in the Gift of the Gods Championship and get his shot at Mil Muertes to win the Lucha Underground Championship

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for February 24, 2016

We look back on the history between Pentagon, Jr. and his master, El Vampiro from last season. Vampiro tells Pentagon not to let anything get in his way...not even "her."

"The Dragonslayer" Jack Evans takes the microphone from ring announcer Melissa Santos and announces his own ring entrance, much to the displeasure of the people in the temple. He also says that he'll make Drago "his little bitch" if he shows up again.

"The Dragonslayer" Jack Evans beats "The Darewolf" PJ Black after Drago, who shows up to distract Evans with some nunchaku, accidentally spits green mist into PJ Black's face. Black picks up the nunchaku as Drago slinks away, looks at them, then throws them down in digust.

Famous B is on a TV commercial, telling people to call the number on the screen so he can make them famous.

King Cuerno beats Killshot, the continues to attack him after the match. Fenix shows up and stops him from hitting Killshot with the same package piledriver that he took Gift of the Gods Championship from him with.

Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and The Crew (Cortez Castro and Mr. Cisco) beat Texano in a gauntlet match after Castro holds down Texano's feet with the latter's bullrope as Chavo gets the pinfall. After the match, they run off with the bullrope when Texano chases after them.

As Matanza destroys more victims, Black Lotus and Dario Cueto talk. Cueto talks about how his brother Matanza saved his life when their mother physically abused them. Cueto carries a figurine of a red bull, which Matanza used to hit their mother in the back of the head repeatedly, putting an end to the beatings. It was on that day that Cueto learned to love violence.

Pentagon Jr. confronts Catrina, saying Prince Puma humiliated him and must be taught a lesson. Catrina tells him to go and teach him on. Pentagon Jr. wants Prince Puma in the ring again, but Catrina is reluctant after Pentagon Jr. broke Mil Muertes' arm. The two fight, and Pentagon Jr. is close to breaking Catrina's arm when the lights go on and off and Catrina teleports away. She gives him the match for next week, but tells him that putting his hands on her was the biggest mistake he ever made.

Johnny Mundo beats Cage after using a lead pipe to hit Cage in the head behind the ref's back, thanks to AAA women's wrestler Taya Valkyrie, who supplies Mundo with the weapon and distracts the ref. They both attack Cage after the match

King Cuerno enters Catrina's office. He wants a shot at Mil Muertes and the Lucha Underground Championship next week, saying that he is tired of being hunted. Catrina tells him they had a deal, however, and says that he's already booked for a match next week against Fenix. This time, not only will the Gift of the Gods Championship be on the line, but it will also be a ladder match, after telling him that Fenix can fly and that she hopes King Cuerno can, too.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for February 3, 2016

As Prince Puma is training backstage, he reminisces about his title match against Mil Muertes at Ultima Lucha. Pentagon Jr appears and thanks him for last week and volunteers Puma to be his partners and continue to break bones with him and destroy The Disciple of Death. Pentagon laughs invidiously, before he and Puma exchange blows...with Puma gaining the upper hand and walking away.

Johnny Mundo beats Killshot. After the match, he says that the earthquake that Mil Muertes (who sits on his throne atop the entrance) felt as a little boy, is nothing compared to the end of the world. Cage appears on the rafters and he's clearly not impressed with Mundo, and hr actually is siding with Mil Muertes. Cage wants a fight, and when faces Mundo in the ring, the latter back down. Mundo sneak attacks Cage...only for Cage to gain the upper hand, and Mundo retreats.

We see a room where Sexy Star was kidnapped by Marty "The Moth" Martinez, who puts a moth in her face as he sickly says that "she has nothing to be afraid of". He says that he's going to bring his sister with him to the temple, but he will be with her as she arrives...

"The Darewolf" PJ Black debuts tonight!

The Mack beats PJ Black with a jumping stunner in the latter's debut match.

Prince Puma and Pentagon Jr beats The Disciples of Death. Pentagon attacks Puma. When it seemed as if Pentagon was going to break his arm, Puma escaped just in the nick of time.

The mysterious man from season one is sitting across the table from someone talking, who convinces him that's time for him to shine. That man Dragon Azteca, Jr is convinced by nine other than Rey Mysterio himself.

Wrestler of the Day - 9/25: "Mr. GMSI" Brian Cage!

Today’s Wrestler of the Day is one of the top agile big men on the scene today, “The F’n Machine” Brian Cage.

Seriously, 2015 has been the year of Cage. He has been making waves in the Mexican promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), and has quickly become one of the top rudos in Mexico today. His “Pro-Trump” persona was one that has shocked many, and has caused major heat among the Mexican fans. Cage is also known for performing in Lucha Underground as the “epiphysis of Lucha Libre”, and is known for having little regard for the Lucha Libre culture. Cage is also an accomplished bodybuilder, but wrestling has always been his first love. He began bodybuilding to increase his body mass for the wrestling business (he has repeatedly said that he graduate high school at 154 lbs!), and as you can see today’s – this dude is jacked!! Cage continues to grow in the pro wrestling business, and it is only a matter of time that he reaches the top of the mountain, because he’s not a man… HE’S A MACHINE!!!

Here’s Cage at his very best, against Alberto El Patron in a Street Fight for AAA.

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!

Ultima Lucha, Pt. 1 recap for July 29, 2015

Black Lotus is training in the cage that she has been held prisoner for several weeks. Dario Cueto offers her a drink for tonight's big event, but she flips him off. Dario brushes it off and recalls how his "brother" hurt many people throughout the years - but he's never touched Black Lotus' parents, and goes on to call her trainer Dragon Azteca a snake. Flustered by the news, she continuously punches the wall, while rewinding what Dario just said.

Cage beats The Mack in a Falls Count Anywhere match after smashing the latter's face into a cinder block.

With the help of Catrina, The Disciples of Death (Trece, El Sinestro de la Muerte, and Barrio Negro) beats Son of Havoc, Ivelisse, and Angelico to become the new Trios Tag Team Champions!

Before tonight's main event - a Believer's Backlash match, fans from the faithful surround the ring with belts to use on Drago and Hernandez.

Drago beats Hernandez in a Believer's Backlash match.

Dragon Azteca walks up the streets and meets up with a man in a mask. After exchanging a few jabs, Dragon says that Black Lotus is a prisoner, because he failed her. The man says that Prince Puma bought her to him, and that he could do it again. With this, the man lets Azteca continue to the insidde of the building.

Next week: Lucha Underground culminates in a 2-hour Ultima Lucha finale!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for July 22, 2015

Dario Cueto talks with Big Ryck in his office, and tells him he had big plans in the temple until he lost focus. Dario now wants him back in the spotlight, and he wants him to get back in there with one of the Aztec Medallions, which he offers him. Cueto asks him if he wants money or power. Big Ryck tells him "Why choose when I can have both?" Not surprisingly, he gets both.

Texano beats Johnny Mundo by disqualification after interference by The Crew (Mr. Cisco and Cortex Castro). Alberto El Patron shows up and destroys everyone, then Texano hits whoever is laying with the bullwhip. Alberto and Texano almost confront one another due to their past feud, but Alberto El Patron walks away.

Hernandez is in Dario Cueto's office. Cueto is making Ultima Lucha two weeks long and Hernandez vs. Drago will be a Believer's Backlash match, where the strap is held by one of the fan and whoever finds the person who has it gets to use it.

The Mack quickly beats Cage. After the match, Cage and Mack brawl, and security officials also get beat up and tossed around as the fight almost spills into the back. Dario Cueto shows up and makes a Falls Count Anywhere between them with weapons around the ring as he announces that Ultima Lucha starts a week early. He also prepares to announce what the Aztec Medallions are for.

Dario Cueto tells everyone that the seven Aztec Medallions make up The Gift of the Gods: a championship belt that grants the holder a shot at the Lucha Underground Championship whenever they want, with a catch: you have to give one week's notice in order for the match to be promoted. Once the title is cashed in, the Aztec Medallions are removed and re-distributed, and the fight for power begins again. Cueto sets up a seven-way match between all those who have earned Aztec Medallions, whom he calls to the ring. Jack Evans, Aerostar, King Cuerno, Sexy Star, Bengala and Big Ryck (who was given an Aztec Medallion by Cueto) show up. They place their medallions into the belt to secure their spot in the match for the title, but there is one problem: Mil Muertes destroyed Fenix. Cueto puts Fenix's medallion back up for grabs, when Fenix suddenly shows up. He puts Fenix in a battle royal for the Aztec Medallion he earned...and that battle royal is next

Fenix wins a battle royal to regain the Aztec Medallion he initially earned before being taken down by Mil Muertes.

Prince Puma, now in a black mask, shows up to speak, but before he can do that, Mil Muertes and Catrina appear. Puma drops the microphone and lays down the belt, and tells Mil Muertes to come and get it. As he does, The Disciples of Death (Barrio Negro, El Siniestro de la Muerte and Terce) show up to attack Puma, but Puma strikes back and lays them all out to send a message to Mil Muertes. Mil Muertes then gets in the ring and the two of them brawl, but Prince Puma easily overpowers Mil Muertes.

Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for July 8, 2015

Pentagon, Jr. is talking  with a mysterious figure, who seems to be his master. He says that Vampiro is not the man that he once was, and he vows to destroy him at Ultima Lucha.

The Mack gets an upset victory over Cage with a quick roll-up.

Son of Havoc is in the locker room as a finger reaches out and touches him. It is revealed to be Catrina's, as she says that not only are the Disciples of Death are coming for the Trios titles, but 1,000 deaths will be coming for him at the expense of Mil Muertes. Ivelisse tells her to back off, and as she grabs for Catrina, the lights suddenly go out and Angelico walks in to his partners (and former couple) being in a rather uncompromising position, which makes Angelico think that they are getting back together... which they deny.

Vampiro interviews Pentagon, Jr. He apologizes for attacking him several weeks ago. He compares Pentagon's dangerous ways to his early days as a wrestler. However, Vampiro says that he's a changed man and that his demeaning days have passed. Pentagon, who has refuted questions the entire interviews, nearly gets physical with Vampiro (who, shockingly enough kept his cool) before storming off.

Mil Muertes beats Son of Havoc. During the match, the Disciples of Death attack Ivelisse and Angelico at ringside following a distraction by Catrina.

Texano is in the ring. He says that he has always been Mexico, despite not being trusted by the ones that are closest to him, and that the last thing he will do is turn his back on his people. He says that he doesn't care about them, but he hates Chavo for being a traitor against his country. Suddenly, The Crew (Mr. Cisco & Cortez Castro) attacks Texano until Blue Demon rushes to his aid, only for him to turn his back on Texano and joins forces with The Crew. He grabs mic and says that he, not Texano is Mexico, and he is going to have to fight him to prove his worth.

Drago will take on Hernandez at Ultima Lucha!

Team Mundo (Johnny Mundo, Super Fly, Hernandez and Jack Evans) beats Team Alberto (Alberto El Patron, Sexy Star, Aerostar and Drago) in an Atomicos match.

Prince Puma will meet Mil Muertes face-to-face next week!

Pentagon attacks Vampiro from behind and hits him with a chair. Pentagon says that Vampiro is afraid of him, and then reaches for some gasoline. After douching the gasoline on Vampiro, Pentagon lights a lighter and says that he has one week to decide on whether he wants to fight him at Ultima Lucha, so he can deemed as a sacrifice to his master. The show fades right when Pentagon looks to drop the lighter on Vampiro.

Here are highlights from tonight's show!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for June 3rd, 2015

In Dario Cueto's office, Chavo Guerrero sits across Dario Cueto's desk. Despite quitting Lucha Underground several months ago, Chavo tells Dario that Black Lotus is ready to kill him. To ensure his survival, he wants HER head on a silver platter. He then retrieves a large amount of money for his drawer to pay for protection. Chavo proposes the idea of giving Dario protection around the Mexican border. With that business being done, Dario is curious to find out what Chavo really wants...

Before Argenis vs. Jack Evans starts, Dario Cueto shows up and says that nobody cares about either of them, and that he is going to make the match interesting. How? By having the two fight for one of the six remaining Aztec Medallions.

Jack Evans smoothly counters Argenis' offense into an unique roll-up for the win and the second Aztec Medallion.

Daivari informs Big Ryck that Dario Cueto was gracious enough to give them a Trios title match tonight, but they need a third partner. Big Ryck volunteers his cousin, The Mack, who gladly obliges. Daivari, who is not fully convinced asks Mack why he is good for the team before Cage suddenly shows up. Cage does not see The Mack as a suitable team member and he attacks The Mack in front of Daivari and his OWN cousin Big Ryck and lays him. Daivari automatically welcomes him to the team.

Meanwhile, in the locker room, Chavo Guerrero informs Black Lotus that Dario Cueto is letting her make her in-ring debut on Lucha Underground. Black Lotus, who sees something icky with the situation, goes in on the attack on Chavo. She had the fight won, until Chavo unleashes the equalizer -- a baseball bat, which lays her out with just one strike. He then handcuffs her...

Thanks to the distraction by Texano, Angelico, Ivelisse and Son of Havoc retain the Lucha Underground Trios Tag Team Championships against Daivari, Big Ryck and Cage.

The Crew (Bael, Mr. Cisco and Cortez Castro) brings a tied Black Lotus into Dario Cueto's office. A pleased Dario Cueto has a spot for her --- in the cell across from his brother.

Before the main event, Pentagon, Jr. promises Sexy Star that he is going to break her and give her off as a sacrifice to his master, before she attacks him from behind to begin the match.

In the first Submission Match in Lucha Underground history, Pentagon, Jr. beats Sexy Star when an unmasked Super Fly returns and turn his back on Sexy Star and slaps her. Pentagon forces her to tapped with a different variation of the surfboard. As Pentagon, Jr. sets Sexy Star up for his signature armbreaker, Vampiro rushes the ring and pushes Pentagon off of Sexy. Before he makes another move, Vampiro changes his mind and leaves the ring. Backstage, past thoughts and troubles rushes through Vampiro's head as he repeatedly smashes his head into the mirror. Old Vampiro is back...

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!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for May 6, 2015

Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron are in Dario Cueto's office. They both feel that they deserve a shot at Prince Puma's Lucha Underground Championship. El Patron goes as far as to say that he deserves a shot more than the actual number one contender, Hernandez, who sleazed his way into changing the standard triple threat match into a #1 contender's match last week. With this, Dario Cueto holds up slips of paper with both their names on them, setting up the main event match for tonight, in which the winner will face Hernandez next week to determine the true number one contender for the Lucha Underground Championship.

Ivelisse, who is on crutches due to a leg injury, sits in the audience and torts out orders to her partners.

The Crew (Cortez Castro & Mr. Cisco) beats Son of Havoc & Angelico.

Dario Cueto now has DelAvar Daivari, the man who took out Texano a couple of weeks ago. Cueto acknowledges him for his bravery, and sets up a match between the latter and Texano tonight. Meanwhile, in the locker room, Konnan blasts Hernandez for what he did in Prince Puma's title match against Drago last week. Hernandez felt that he saved his title match, but Puma isn't trying to hear any of it. Dario Cueto overhears the fuss, pleased with what he hears, and sets up Hernandez and Puma to tag against Cage and King Cuerno later tonight.

Black Lotus is still determined to leave and fend for herself, but El Dragon Azteca refuses to see her suffer the same fate as her parents. He then give her the ultimatum - if she beats him, she can leave. After a short series of blocks from both sides, Dragon Azteca gains the upper hand, and says that she has a better chance of survival than her parents if she stays with him. Reluctantly enough, she blows out her candle and stays.

Alberto El Patron beats Johnny Mundo in a fast-paced, chaotic match to earn the right to face Hernandez to determine the true number one contender to Prince Puma's Lucha Underground Championship!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for April 29, 2015

Dario Cueto is highly disappointed in his goon squad, The Crew (Bael, Mr. Cisco, Cortez Castro) for not getting the job done in their impromptu Trios Tag Team Title match last week, but in typical "El Jefe" style, he has a surprise for the boys, and leads them out of the room into another.

Unfortunately, we only get a silhouette of Cueto's brother, to be revealed later.

As Cueto walks away, Hernandez walks up on him and talks about his triple threat match tonight, stating that he wants a shot at Puma's Lucha Underground title. What he doesn't know is that Puma is listening from the other side of the locker room. Knowing that Puma is there, however, Cueto stirs up trouble once again by making the triple threat match a number one contender's match.

Famous B vs. Vinny Massaro vs. El Mariachi Loco vs. Ricky Mandel ends when Texano comes in and cleans house (even giving the referee the run for his money). In Espanol, Texano says that he doesn't care who the hell that guy was that attacked him, but says that if he wants to fight him one-on-one, he'll give him the fight of his life.

Outside the temple, Dario Cueto's phone call is interrupted by a crazy fan who has been camping out at the temple for week. He reveals his name to be Marty the Moth and he wants to meet Prince Puma, and possibly step foot in the ring. Dario says that the temple is not open to everybody, and doesn't want him to step foot into the ring either. Cueto proceeds back into the temple, and has to end his phone call just to get away from this crazy fan.

Pentagon, Jr., who is not scheduled to be in the ring tonight, is in the ring. 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.

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 for January 21, 2015

Cisco & (Mr.) Cortez Castro defeated Pimpinela Escalarta & Mascarita Sagrada. During the match, Big Ryck watched the match from the steps.

After the match, Big Ryck grabs the mic says that no matter the friends or the enemies, that he will make it to the top. Los Demonios (Cisco, Bael, and Cortez Castro) did not take this too well, and they dropped the bomb by attacking Big Ryck. Castro capitalized on the attack by smashing Big Ryck with a kendo stick. The trio left the temple an headed straight for Dario Cueto's office.

Dario Cueto is amazed by the scheme work of Los Demonios (Bael, Cortez Castro, and Cisco) and hands each of them a chunk of money and Dario says that he has much more plans for taking out Big Ryck, and the trio replies with a resounding, "Yes, sir."

Color commentator Vampiro interviews Cage. Cage says that he is not here to make friends, but to be the best. Vampiro points out the attack that Cage did on Lucha Underground Champion Prince Puma, and wonders if Cage is willing to take on Puma one-on-one for the title. Cage dismisses the wonder and says that when you're in the ring with him, you're in the ring with a machine. Vampiro then calls him a future Lucha Underground Champion. Future champ, indeed,

Pentagon, Jr. defeated Super Fly with the packaged piledriver. After the match, Pentagon grabs the mic and says that he thought of Chavo Guerrero as a legend and criticizes him for betraying his at Aztec Warefare, but that he will get his revenge ans that he has... NO FEAR!

Sexy Star defeated El Mariachi Loco with the small package.

King Cuerno defeated Drago in a Last Luchador Standing Match when Drago cannot beat the ten down, due to being tied down to the ringpost by Cuerno.

REVIEW!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the January 21st, 2015 edition of my Lucha Underground Review. Main topics of the show I'm going to be touching on tonight is: Cage's future, Pentagon's ascension, the ultimate betrayal and the end of a saga... or is it? Without further ado, lets get down to it! 

Cage's Future!

Cage appeared on a segment with color commentator Vampiro interviewing him. Since Cage has attacked Prince Puma from behind after his first title defense against Fenix last week, Cage looks to put himself in the title picture... quickly. However, he's only had one match - which was rather impressive, but I do not think that this push should be too quick. I feel that he should continue to dominate in matches and work his way up the food chain, and maybe building up a feud with Prince Puma along the way. Ya see, I'm a fan that likes a build-up, a chronological order of what happens in a storyline before it leads up to the grand finale. In this case, I definitely see Cage being promoted as this destructive machine, but lets not put him in the title picture just yet. Give him some time to get a reaction from the fans, and most definitely give more ring time. These two things can only hep him for his futur in Lucha Underground.

Pentagon's Ascension!

NO FEAR! After being stabbed in the back by Chavo Guerrero with a steel chair, Pentagon, Jr. now realizes that if he wants to get to the top, then he's gonna have to do it alone. I am very high on this guy right now, and for many reasons. He has tremendous in-ring ability, charisma that matches up with his dark and badass persona, and all Spanish aside, this guy has great mic skills. His match against Super Fly tonight was nothing short of impressive, with his mixture of luche libre with the hard-hitting Puroresu style, and on a side not: THOSE CHOPS WERE INSANE. Man, this guy truly has it all in my book, and I would not mind seeing him taking on Chavo Guerrero one-on-one. Hell, he may very well be a top contender for the Lucha Underground Championship. Can't wait to see how far he can go Lucha Underground.

The Ultimate Betrayal!

In the beginning of the show, Los Demonios, which consists of Bael, Cortez Castro and Cisco betray their now-former stablemate Big Ryck by attacking him in the middle of the ring and then headed for Dario Cueto's office, and then Cueto awards the trio with chunks of money. What does Cueto have up his sleeve now? What is the motive behind this attack? What does he have against Big Ryck? Is this just the beginning of a big change to come for Lucha Underground?  So many questions, but very little answers about this new story. Either way, I'm ready to see what Big Ryck has to say about this next week, that's IF he comes back next week...

The End of a Saga... or is it?

Tonight's main event was a Last Luchador Standing Match between arch rivals Drago and King Cuerno. This match was the same in greatness if not better than there encounter last week, which led to a no contest. I am a mark for both of these men, because of the in-ring psychology between the two. You guys may not see it, but I sure do! I mean, how can two guys pull off back-to-back great matches without one knowing what the other's going to do, Cuerno's craftiness gotten the better of Drago tonight, when Drago was tied down to the ringpost, which prevented him from standing. I feel that this rivalry isn't over, and that it is going to continue, especially after the way the main event ended tonight. Oh, for sure, Drago's going to avenge this defeat.

Well, that's it! Until next week, 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.

Dario Cueto comes out and congratulates Mundo and hopes that the two of them can have a good relationship moving forward. Cueto asks Mundo for the “insurance Policy” which is a big key, and orders him to put it around his neck. Mundo refuses, and lays Cueto out to end the show.

Video recaps will be posted later this week!
