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

PREMIERE: Lucha Underground recap for January 27, 2016

We begin Season Two with Vampiro in the Youssef Clinic. He is being evaluated, and he is asked about the happenings in his life over the past six months. Vampiro says that all his nightmares and treasons are gone, although the flashbacks remain. His therapist prescribes him with treatment, and tells him to avoid the triggers. With this, Vampiro dreams of unleashing an attack on the employees.

In the desert, Matt Striker and Vampiro meet up. Vampiro reveals a shiny new car. When asked about his job, Striker says that they still have their jobs, but the temple is now a much darker place.

Catrina, who is seemingly taking on the proprietary role, is in Dario Cueto's office. Fenix walks in, and says that he wants another shot at Mil Muertes. Catrina's says that he will have to wait until next week, that's IF he still holds the Gift if the Gods title.

King Cuerno beats Fenix to win the Gift if the Gods Championship.

Son of Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico arrive at the temple!

As Team Havoc enter the temple, they are met by Catrina. Ivelisse wants another shot at the title, but Catrina objects. Instead, Mil Muertes wants the trio in a match...against each other, where the winner will face Mil Muertes for the title. Ivelisse boasts about winning the title, and vows to come for her.

Catrina walks to ringside and whispers instructions in Melissa Santos's ear before the next match.

Catrina congratulates Cuerno on his title win, and tells him to not forget about their deal. Cuerno says no worries, and vows to stick by his promise.

Ivelisse beats Son of Havoc and Angelico to become #1 contender for the Lucha Underground Championship!

Three dudes (saying this in spite) are on a road trip, assuming to the temple. Unsure of themselves, Black Lotus appears out of the blue to help them with directions, but the three me n turned her down.

Mil Muertes beats Ivelisse to retain the Lucha Underground Championship. Afterwards, Catrina does the "Lick if Death" and motions for Mil to finish her off. Suddenly, Prince Puma runs in for the save on Ivelisse. Pentagon Jr emerges from on the back and hits a backbreaker on Mil Muertes and his trademark armbar.

Black Lotus and the three men show up to a building. Dario Cueto emerges and welcome them in...with pay first. They men pay $20 each, and enter into the building, only to get mimed and destroyed by who sounds like...Matanza (Cueto's brother)!

Match of the Day - 10/22/2015: Mil Muertes vs. Fenix!

Short Wrestler and Matches of the Day posts for the rest of this week. I'm sorry.

Sports analyst and writer Michael Schiavello takes Vampiro's place on commentary for the night.

Johnny Mundo beats Alberto el Patron with a surprise assistance from his longtime partner Melina Perez, who has not been in a ring in nearly five years. After the match, the two lip lock in the ring. Alberto comes from behind and throws Mundo outside the ring and attacks him, and slams his head into a window (much like what Mundo did to him). Melina throws a drink at El Patron and fights back, before he turns her around and spanks her. Alberto winks at her and stands tall.

Dragon Azteca finds Black Lotus in the cell. Once she asks him whether he was coming for her, Dario Cueto shows up with the key to Black Lotus' cell. Suddenly, Black Lotus chokes out her trainer, putting him out. Pleased with what he sees, Dario finally releases her from the cell. She refuses to leave with him, since she "got what she wanted". Black Ltous asks Dario what is he going to do about his "brother". He uses the key to unlock Matanza's cell...

Pentagon, Jr. beats Vampiro in a Cero Miedo match. As Pentagon grabs the mic, Vampiro calls for Pentagon to break his arm, which he happily obliges. Afterwards, he tells his master that he has finished what he promised. Vampiro grabs a mic, and says that Pentagon is ready, thus revealing that he has been his master the entire time, and says, "You are ready, my son."

Fenix, beats Big Ryck, Bengala, Jack Evans, King Cuerno, Aerostar and Sexy Star to become the inaugural Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Champion! During the match, Marty "The Moth" Martinez gives Sexy Star a hard time, and Delavar Daivari turns on Big Ryck.

Before Blue Demon, Jr. takes on Texano, Blue Demon Jr. hands announcer Melissa Santos a card. In it is a message from Dario Cueto, stating that due to Blue Demon, Jr.'s status, this match is officially no-disqualification.

Blue Demon, Jr. beats Texano in a no-disqualification match thanks to Cortez Castro, Mr. Cisco and...Chavo Guerrero, who blasts Texano with a chair and lets Blue Demon, Jr. get the last shot on Texano.

Mil Muertes beats Prince Puma to win the Lucha Underground Championship!

Marty "The Moth" Martinez has kidnapped Sexy Star, and has plans to have her meet his sister...

Son of Havoc tells Angelico they're getting the Trios titles back, and that he'll see him on the open road. He then leaves the temple along with Ivelisse.

Best-of-five series rivals Aerostar and Drago see each other off. Drago goes back to the underworld, while Aerostar heads back into space.

Vampiro tells Pentagon Jr. that they are going to a darker place...

A man in a hoodie spraypaints a question mark on the Lucha Underground billboard.

The last thing we see is Dario Cueto himself, with all the lights going out, followed by "To be continued..."

Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for July 13, 2015

Dario Cueto has the four remaining Aztec Medallions in his office, and he would like for Pentagon, Jr. to be a holder of one of the four. Pentagon says that he and his master do not care for the Aztec Medallions, he has one goal in mind - destroying Vampiro.

Bengala beats Delvar Daivari to win the fourth Aztec Medallion.

A rather distracted Vampiro leaves his commentary partner Matt Striker and heads for the ring to confront Pentagon, Jr., who's been on Vampiro's case for the past several weeks.

Vampiro is in the ring. He is tired of Pentagon's constant threats and wants to confront him tonight. He says that Pentagon remind him of himself when he first started in the wrestling business. Pentagon, Jr. interrupts. Pentagon still is looking for a fight with Vampiro at Ultima Lucha. Vampiro refuses once again, saying that his time is up in this business and that he loves his job as a commentator in Lucha Underground. In the end, Ian Hodgkinson says that the man that is going to kick Pentagon's ass is Vampiro, and he attacks the former hits his signature move, Vampiro's Bite.

Sexy Star is backstage lacing up. As she digs through her bag, she pulls out Super Fly's mask and faint memories of their Mask vs. Mask match from a couple of weeks ago are shown. She walks away, upset.

King Cuerno beats Kill Shot with the bow and arrow submission to win the fifth Aztec Medallion.

Sexy Star quickly beats Super Fly to win the sixth Aztec Medallion. Shortly afterwards, Marty "The Moth" Martinez comes to the ring and challenges Sexy Star to match... for her newly won medallion. She gladly accepts by attacking him to start the match.

Sexy Star beats Marty "The Moth" Martinez to keep the sixth Aztec Medallion.

Matt Striker and Vampiro hype Ultima Lucha, a two-hour event that will take place August 5th, 2015 on the El Rey Network!

Dario Cueto is in the ring. He hypes Prince Puma vs. Mil Muertes, billing as the "biggest match in Lucha Underground history". Since he is a busy man, he has called for a confrontation between the two.  He introduces the two men who will face each other for the Lucha Underground Championship at Ultima Lucha. Before the two can confront each other, Cueto steps in between them, only provoking them to fight. Catrina and the Disciples of Death (Barrio Negro, El Siniestro de la Muerte and Trece) come out with a casket in hand, and Mil Muertes gets a cheap shot in on Puma. Konnan comes in to try and even the score, but the numbers games are just too much. After the quintet lays Konnan and Puma out, Catrina orders the Disciples of Death to put Konnan in the casket, with Prince Puma being forced to watch. Konnan is carried away in the casket to end the show.

Here are the highlights from 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.

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 24, 2015

Alberto El Patron vs. Johnny Mundo is set for Ultima Lucha.

Aerostar beats Drago in the third match of their Best of Five Series, bringing his score up to 2-1. The two men shake hands in respect.

Konnan believes that every move and every action is all in the art of combat, and that it is his duty to protect "El Rey" (or in this case, Prince Puma). Konnan's revenge is coming...

Big Ryck beats The Crew (Bael, Cisco and Cortez Castro) in a 3-on-1 No Disqualification Elimination match. Ryck eliminates all three, but he eliminates that last remaining member Cisco with the help of Sexy Star, who gets revenge for her friends, Pimpinela Escalarta and Mascarita Sagrada and for attacking her on multiple occasions.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground Recap for March 4, 2015

Mil Muertes beats Fenix. Afterwards, Mil Muertes signals for Catrina to do her signature "Lick of Death" on Fenix, but defies him, only to be grabbed up in a chokehold. She drops the rock (which possesses some kind of power), and is rammed to corner of the ring. Fenix grabs the rock and makes the save, laying Mil Muertes out with the Enziguri. Catrina does the "Lick of Death" on Mil Muertes and then kisses Fenix once again.

Konnan will seek revenge!

Ivelisse is in Dario Cueto's office, and she thinks she deserves a shot at the title. Cueto disagrees, saying that she's only won one singles match against Angelico, and she would have to prove herself worthy of a title shot.

Prince Puma is training backstage. Alberto El Patron interrupts and makes it simple: he's coming for the Lucha Underground Championship.

Big Ryck beats Sexy Star after Ryck simply sets her down and pins her, thus earning a three-on-one match with The Crew in the near future. The Crew (Bael, Cisco, Cortez Castro) attack Big Ryck.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground Recap for February 18, 2015

Mariachi El Bronx perform to start the show!

Mil Muertes defeated Chavo Guerrero. After the match, Mil Muertes continues to harm Catrina (like he did last week) until Fenix makes the save. In retaliation, Catrina kisses Fenix again, but it seems that Fenix is more accepting of this kiss.

The mysterious woman in black is walking secretly backstage and opens the door to walk up a flight of stairs. Where is she going?

Dario Cueto holds a meeting with The Crew (Bael, Cisco and Cortez Castro) in his office, with Cueto awarding his henchmen with a six-man tag main event. Their opponents? Pimpinela Escarlata, Mascarita Sagrada and Sexy Star. He wants them to hurt the technicos so bad, that they will never come back into the Lucha Underground Temple.

Ivelisse and Son of Havoc are in the ring. She says that even though Son of Havoc is scheduled to face Angelico in a rematch, she says that after seeing him lose for the past couple of weeks, the she will challenge his manhood by Angelico facing HER in a match.

Ivelisse defeated Angelico, thanks to the help of her boyfriend, Son of Havoc. Angelico grabs the mic afterwards and says if she wants to wrestle him again, but without her boyfriend around, he'll be glad to do so. He says this with wink, hinting that he may have a thing for Ivelisse.

Vampiro has a Spanish with the newcomer El Texano, Jr. Texano claims that Alberto El Patron stole the AAA World Heavyweight Championship from him, and says that he will reclaim what is his.

Texano Jr. quickly defeated Super Fly. Alberto El Patron comes out and he and Texano brawl around ringside. El Patron grabs Texano's signature bullrope and whips him with it, before El Texano scurries away.

Cage is in Dario Cueto's office, who says that he should already be champion. Cueto says that despite Cage having what he wants in a champion, Puma is still the champion. He sets up a non-title match between Cage and Puma. Cage tells him to get him a real title belt when he becomes champion. Chavo Guerrero barges in a says that he quits. Cueto, who is not enthusiastic about the news, says that "he wishes Chavo good luck on his future endeavors."

The mysterious woman in black makes her way upstairs into a dark room. She seems to be talking to the "Matanza" she's been searching for. She says that when she was a little girl, she's always pictured herself killing the person wuith her bare hands when she grew up.

Pimpinela Escarlata, Mascarita Sagrada & Sexy Star defeated Cisco, Beal & Castro (The Crew), thanks to the distraction by the returning Big Ryck, who has a patch on his eye, in which Sexy Star steals the pin.

Since this has been a jam packed episode of Lucha Underground, I will post my review on a separate post. Stay tuned!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground Recap for February 11, 2015

Dario Cueto chats with Alberto El Patron, who has some things to get off his chest tonight.

Fenix defeated Argenis with the piledriver. Catrina crawls into the ring in a possessed sensual style on top of a beaten Argenis, staring at Fenix as she does it. Fenix makes a run for it, while Catrina sadistically looks on.

Alberto El Patron arrives as he makes his Lucha Underground debut tonight!

Catrina is walking backstage when she runs into Mil Muertes. She tells him that he needs to - before she finished her sentence, Mil Muertes grabs her up in a chokehold and yells at her in Spanish before putting her down. Moments later, Mil Muertes is walking down the halls and Chavo Guerrero happens to pop up. Muertes grabs Chavo by his neck and slams him against the walls.

A mysterious man is asking God to forgive him, for he is going to sin. Throughout the promo, there are vignettes of The Crew (Bael, Cisco and Cortez Castro) attacking Johnny Mundo and Big Ryck. At the end of the promo, Big Ryck appears, smoking his cigar and saying that he is going back to the Old Testament and he makes it simple: "Vengeance shall be his."

Mariachi El Bronx performs for the crowd!

Son of Havoc says that Dario Cueto has finally gave him some real competition, and he will dedicate his win to "the baddest bitch in the building", his girlfriend Ivelisse. His opponent? Johnny Mundo!

Johnny Mundo defeated Son of Havoc, much to the dislike of Havoc's girlfriend Ivelisse. Out of nowhere, King Cuerno dropkicks Johnny Mundo from behind, attacks him to hit "The Thrill of the Hunt".

Pentagon, Jr. defeated Ricky Mantel via Submission and nearly broke his arm much like he did to Famous B last week. he grabs the mic and says that he dedicates himself to his "master."

Alberto El Patron comes out to a thunderous ovation from the fans in the Temple, with the AAA World Heavyweight Championship in hand. Alberto calls the audience his family and that he is finally here in Lucha Underground. He talks about his legendary wrestling family including Mil Mascaras and Dos Caras and how they taught him about the passions about the wrestling business, and how he became a wrestling icon in the country he had to conquer, the United States. He says in Spanish, "Back there, they embraced me, but when I turn around they stabbed me in the back." and that he is the first Luchador to hold every major title in North America. He refuses to be held back because of the color of his skin or getting the job (but he boldly says that he gets the job done), and that the Revolution of Alberto El Patron has begun, but out of nowhere, Alberto's  rival El Texano, Jr. makes his debut and attacks him from behind.

REVIEW

Sup, everyone and welcome to the February 11, 2015 edition of the Lucha Underground recap. Things are heating up tonight, especially with highly-anticipated debut of Alberto El Patron and various feuds throughout company. Topics that I will be focusing on tonight are Big Ryck's vengeance, Catrina's sadistic desires, and Alberto El Patron's debut. Without further ado, lets get started.

Big Ryck's Vengeance

One of the highlights of tonight's episode, in my opinion is the backstage promo with Big Ryck. A couple of weeks prior to this, The Crew (Bael, Cisco, and Cortez Castro) turned their back on Big Ryck, much to the satisfaction of Dario Cueto. Throughout the promo, there were vignettes shown of The Crew doing their dirty work. All I have to say is, The Crew had better have eyes in the back of their heads, because now Big Ryck is going OLD TESTAMENT on them, and as he said in his promo: "Vengeance shall be mine." Oh, I cannot wait for him to return. I feel that something memorable is going to happen, and I'm glad that he said his prayers, because he's going to be doing some major sinning!

Catrina's Sadistic Desires

So, we've seen a good amount of Catrina on the big screen more than usual tonight. First, she peered up at ringside during Fenix's match against Argenis, and she sexually and creepily crawled on top of Argenis after the match. Also, she got into some sort of an "altercation" with Mil Muertes, who grabbed her up in a chokehold, but she seemed to enjoy it. To be honest, I do not know what is going to happen and who is going after who, but I know that someone's going to left broken and battered afterwards. Maybe Catrina has some sadistic Fenix fetish or something (haha). Another thing that I learned is that never mess Mil Muertes when he is angry (and Chavo Guerrero found that out tonight)!

Alberto El Patron's debut

Alberto El Patron's debut tonight was nothing sort of awesome! He came out to a thunderous ovation from the crowd in the Temple and he was able to get some things off his chest that's been on his mind for quite some time. In his promo (which is much better than his promo work I've heard in the past), there was one thing he said that stood out to me, which he said in Spanish, "Back there, they embraced me, but when I turn around they stabbed me in the back." When he said this, I knew exactly who he was talking about... his situations with the WWE. Since being released, he has had some critical things to say about the WWE - from the pay to the underutilized talent (to who he says that they should go to the Indies if they had the talent, because money has to be made). I can tell that he is happy where he is, and if ya ask me, I think that this a great move by Lucha Underground to sign El Patron. Another thing that stood out to me was the blindside attack by El Texano, Jr., whom Alberto beat for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship. This debut was not acknowledged, which makes things a bit more interesting. I can come up with a good number of scenarios: such as El Texano, Jr. and Alberto El Patron going at it for the AAA title in Lucha Underground, which can be huge for both promotions, or the two having a deep storyline to continue their feud from AAA, which is also good for both companies. Whatever the case, El Texano, Jr.'s attack changed the complexion of things, and things will only get more intesne in the coming weeks.

That's a good load for you guys this week. Tune in next week for another Lucha Undeground review. 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 December 17th, 2014

Ring announcer Melissa Santos introduces the owner of Lucha Underground Dario Cueto, who announces two ten man matches, where the two winners will not receive a briefcase full of money this time, but something more special… The first ten competitors are already in the ring for the ten man match!

Ten Man Match:
Fenix defeated Prince Puma, Big Ryck, El Mariachi Loco, Mascarita Sagrada, Drago, King Cuerno, Super Fly, Pentagon Jr, and Son of Havoc when he pinned Puma after a modified Tombstone Piledriver.

Konnan is outraged at Prince Puma for “missing an opportunity”. He says that many wrestlers kill to have a manager like him and warns him to not miss any opportunities next time.

Boyle Heights Battle Royal:
Mil Muertes last eliminated Johnny Mundo to win the battle royal. -during this match, there was a mysterious woman in the audience (Angela Fong) who watched the match for a certain luchador(a)...

Mil Muertes and Fenix are the winners of their respective matches. What will Dario Cueto have in store for them?

Mil Muertes and Fenix are having a stand-off in the ring when Dario Cueto comes out. He says earlier tonight that he has a surprise for the two winners of the matches. What’s the surprise? The introduction of the Lucha Underground Heavyweight Championship, in which in his eyes, is the title that will make the wrestler the best in the world. He then announces that the winner of Mil Muertes vs. Fenix will have an advantage in becoming the first Lucha Underground Champion, in what he bills the “Aztec Warfare”, which will take place until January 2015, where the first champion will be crowned.

Mil Muertes defeated Fenix to enter “Aztec Warfare” at #20 to become the first ever Lucha Underground Champion. Fenix will enter at #1.  After the match, he and Catrina stand over a betean Fenix and engage in a sloppy kiss fest.

Dario Cueto is backstage with the Lucha Underground title. The gold comes from the Aztec gold, making it not only priceless, but powerful. There is a person he does not want to see touch it, as he likes to "destroy pretty things..."

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

Lucha Underground Results for November 12th, 2014: Crossing The Border

We start the show with a recap from last week’s episode, including the aftermath of the main event of Blue Demon, Jr. vs. Mil Muertes, in which Chavo brutally attacks Blue Demon.
Konnan has a talk with Lucha Underground owner Dario Cueto. Both men look to bring in some of the best young fighters from Mexico.

Color commentators Matt Striker and Vampiro stated that Blue Demon, Jr. is in stable condition and they wish him a speedy recovery!

Dario Cueto comes out to the ring and confronts the criticism of there not being enough Lucha Libre in Lucha Underground. He then introduces El Mariachi Loco, who is seemingly his example of proving that there is “Lucha Libre in Lucha Underground.”  His opponent? Veteran Mini wrestler of Mexico’s AAA (Asistencia Asesoría y Administración) Mascarita Sagrada!

Mascarita Sagrada defeated El Mariachi Loco with a roll-up. After the match, Mascarita Sagrada is attacked by Chavo Guerrero, Jr.

We look at Chavo Guerrero’s unexplained path of destruction that took place last week.

Vampiro interviews Chavo Guerrero. Chavo says that he’s done it his family’s way out of respect, but now, he’s doing things HIS WAY. He claims that Blue Demon is living off of his dad’s legacy since his dad gave him that mask that he wears today. He looks to dominate Lucha Underground and become a star, and leaving anyone in their way if they dare to get in his way.

Chavo Guerrero runs into Konnan and talk about things that are going down in the future. After his convo with Konnan, he locks eyes with Mil Muertes, who slowly walks away, then he bumps into Mil Muertes’ associate, Catrina who looks to have both Chavo and Mil Muertes in her possession, as she licks Chavo.

The background of Mil Muertes’ life is shown. After his family died in a magnitude 8.1 Earthquake, he knew from that point on, he will always be on the brink of death.

Mil Muertes makes quick work of the debuting Ricky Mantel. After the match, Mantel is licked by Catrina, and then she kisses Mil Muertes’.

Cisco and Cortez Castro are hanging out backstage and they are met by Johnny Mundo, who beats up both of them and meets Dario Cueto, says that he wants to work with him and suggests that he give him a match next week to prove that he can give the violence.

Dario Cueto pays Big Ryck big bucks and wants to make sure that everything goes as planned next week with Johnny Mundo…

A video package of Prince Puma is shown.

Triple Threat Match: Fenix defeated Drago and Pentagon, Jr. 

The show ends with Dario Cueto pacing back and forth in deep thought. Apparently, he’s got something in store for next week…

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!
