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 March 2, 2016

Mil Muertes isn't happy with Catrina's recent actions concering King Cuerno and Fenix. Catrina reminds him that if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be alive right now. Mil Muertes then tells Catrina to give him Pentagon Jr. and Prince Puma, saying he'll bury them instead. Catrina says no. She disappears. Mil Muertes is angry.

El Vampiro notices that Mil Muertes is not sitting on his throne above ringside.

Kobra Moon beats Sexy Star with a Dragon Sleeper combined with a body scissors after Sexy Star is distracted by Marty "The Moth" Martinez. During the match, The Mack shows up at ringside to cheer Sexy Star on.

We see another commercial from Famous B, who hopes to make someone a famous fighter. We seen then see a television, and Rey Mysterio Jr. turns it off. We then see Rey Mysterio Jr. and El Dragon Azteca train.

King Cuerno says he will no longer be a hunter, but a god when he wins tonight's ladder match against Fenix.

Prince Puma vs. Pentagon Jr. ends when Mil Muertes, now with a leather sling around his arm, shows up and breaks the sling, then enters the ring as Pentagon Jr. tries to finish Prince Puma off and attacks Pentagon. Prince Puma tries to fight off Mil Muertes, but Mil Muertes also makes quick work of him. He then hits both Puma and Pentagon Jr. with a Double Flatliner. Mil Muertes, now fully healed, is back with a vengeance.

Mil Muertes and Catrina go backstage. Mil Muertes says this week was nothing. Next week, he will defend the Lucha Underground Championship against Prince Puma and Pentagon, Jr. He says this is his temple, and that nothing will stop Mil Muertes.

In three weeks, twenty luchadors will converge for Aztec Warfare. Two luchadors start, with a new participant every 90 second. Eliminations happen through pinfall or submission. The winner becomes #1 contender for the Lucha Underground Championship.

Mil Muertes sits back on the throne overseeing the ring before the next match.

Fenix beats King Cuerno in a ladder match to become the first-ever two-time Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Champion! Both Fenix and Mil Muertes lift up their respective championships and stare each other down at a distance to end the show.

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.

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.

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.

The number one contender shows up and has a deathly staredown with the champion before he and Catrina vanish.

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.

He then give her the ultimatum - if she beats him, she can leave.

Reluctantly enough, she blows out her candle and stays.

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.

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.

Outside of the temple, a mysterious black car drives through the lot. When the car stops, someone opens the trunk to the mysterious woman who has been searching for "Matanza". The person is revealed to be Blue Demon, Jr., who wants to question her about her knowings of "Matanza".

**From now on, I will be posting the recap and review to Lucha Underground on separate posts!**

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 + 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.

Underground Sound: Lucha Underground Results for December 10th, 2014

Danny Trejo from Machete is on hand tonight at the Temple!

King Cuerno defeats the debuting Super Fly. During the match, Drago watches from the top of the balcony.

We look at the background of Pentagon, Jr., in which shows how the mixture of his lucha libre and various martial arts styles makes him have… zero fear!

Chavo Guerrero defeats Fenix. After the match, Sexy Star grabs the mic and says that Blue Demon, Jr. is coming back… for Pentagon, Jr.

 Cage (Brian Cage) is coming to Lucha Underground!

$100,000 Ladder Match: Johnny Mundo defeats Big Ryck & Prince Puma to win the $100,000 briefcase, despite the fact Dario Cueto henchmen Cisco and Cortez Castro being heavily involved during the match (along with a strange guy emerging from the audience attacking Mundo). 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!
