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!

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.

A recap of what has transpired over the past several weeks involving Johnny Mundo, Prince Puma, Konnan, and Dario Cueto and Los Demonios is shown.

Sexy Star, who is already in the ring for a match, looks to get revenge against Chavo Guerrero for he has done to her, Blue Demon, and Mascarita Sagrada over the past several weeks and vows to destroy the Guerrero dynasty. Her opponent, Ivelisse, comes out and taunts Sexy Star, saying that she cannot get down with the boys and that she is the “baddest luchadora (and bitch) in the building.

Sexy Star defeated Ivelisse with a surprise roll-up.

Dario Cueto has a talk with Drago, and he seemingly has something up his sleeve…

Pentagon, Jr. is in the ring. He says that he was disrespected in Mexico and he thanks Mr. Cueto for finally giving him the respect he deserves. He looks to decimate anyone who gets in his way and that everyone will respect him.

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!
