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...

Wrestler of the Day - 10/5: Pentagon Jr.!

Today's Wrestler of the Day is "Cero Miedo" himself, Pentagon Jr.!

I first got a glimpse of how freakishly BADASS Pentagon, Jr is when I first saw him on Lucha Underground. You guys see the lucha libre pattern that I have been posting for the last couple of weeks? Anyways, in Lucha Underground, Pentagon is depicted as a anti-hero who cares less about anyone's approval.... except for his "master", who was revealed to be Vampiro at Ultima Lucha, Pt. 2. He snapped arms first and questions his master later. He's also known for his work as a rudo (heel) down in AAA, where he is a member of La Sociedad and a current AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion with Sexy Star (his arch nemesis in LU, ironically enough). What gets me about Pentagon is how great of a worker he is. He can pull off a spot, and it could change the entire complexion of a match. and it doesn't hurt to be under the tutelage of another badass, Vampiro. Lucha Underground highly-anticipated season 2 is rapidly approaching, and we can only wonder what's up Pentagon sleeve...

One of his earliest Lucha Underground matches, against Fenix and Drago in a three-way!

Match of the Day - 9/23/2015: Pentagon, Jr. vs. Vampiro!

In a match that was built from sinister motives and arm-wrenching sacrifices, today’s Match of the Day goes to Pentagon, Jr. vs. Vampiro! Taking place at Ultima Lucha, Pt.2 on August 5th, and this match proved to be the most brutal out of the two-week event. It all started when Pentagon wanted to sacrifice ring announcer Melissa Santos to his “master”. Vampiro was looking to go for the save, but Sexy Star – Pentagon’s rival at the time, beat him to the punch. As the season went on, Pentagon continuously taunted Vampiro, which only provoked the demons that lurked in Ian Hodkingson for so many years. He even went as far as to drench gas on Vampiro, and nearly set him on fire! Finally, Vampiro had enough, and challenged him to this match, which was billed as a “Cero Miedo” match. Let me tell ya, this match had me on end from start to finish. Light tubes and flaming tables also added the extra intensity into the match. What happened after the match is what shocked the Believers the most: Vampiro was Pentagon’s master all this time. He quotes, “You are now ready, my son.” Now that a Season 2 is confirmed, it just makes me wonder if Vampiro will be on commentary with Matt Striker, or will he be doing the dirty deeds with Pentagon, Jr.?

Just a synopsis that built up to this incredible match. Enjoy!

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.

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!

Review

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

Cuerno Targeting Mundo!

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

Continued "Conquest for Matanza"

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

Catrina's Motivation

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

Arrival of Alberto El Patron!

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

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

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground Recap 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!
