Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for June 24, 2015

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

Vampiro interviews an unmasked Super Fly. When asked about his betrayal to Sexy Star, he says that he wanted her feel the same pain he was feeling when he lost his mask, and says that if she would have walked away from their Mask vs. Mask match, none of this would have happened. He claims that he made a mistake in his last encounter with Sexy Star, since "she's a woman", but he plans to put her in her place tonight.

Super Fly beats Sexy Star with a powerbomb combo... then attacks her afterwards.

Drago is prepared for battle... tonight!

Before the match, Pentagon Jr. vows to destroy the man who took away "his greatest sacrifice".... VAMPIRO! Vampiro leaves the commentary table looking for a fight, but the former looks to fight another day.

Aerostar beast Marty "The Moth" Martinez, Cage and The Mack to earn the third of the seven Aztec Medallions.

Drago will face off against Mil Muertes in a number one contender's match to face Prince Puma for the Lucha Underground Championship at Ultima Lucha in the main event.

Ivelisse, Son of Havoc and Angelico are training. After a sudden miscommunication, Ivelisse and Son of Havoc argue... again.  Catrina shows up, and sensually tocuhes Ivelisse, saying that God can't even save them from death. Suddenly, her three Disciples of Death electrically appear and dismantle the Trios Tag Team Champions. Catrina reaches for the hand of Mil Muertes, and they head for his match tonight.

Before the main event can even start, Hernandez attacks Drago with a belt, and chokes him out with it momentarily. After the commercial break, Drago decides to compete in the match.

Mil Muertes beats Drago to become the new number one contender for the Lucha Underground Championship and will face Prince Puma at Ultima Lucha. Afterwards, Catrina does her signature "lick of death" on Drago and has a steamy embrace with the winner. Champion Prince Puma and Konnan comes out and stares Mil Muertes down from the top of the stairs.

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

With this, Konnan plans to orchestrate an unstoppable force in Lucha Underground. Suddenly, Johnny Mundo comes out of the wood works and accepts the invitation of being the third man of the trio. Konnan is enraged, and he still does not trust Mundo, and says that Puma shouldn’t either.

Sexy Star is scheduled to face Super Fly tonight. Dario Cueto acknowledges Sexy Star for saving Super fly from getting his arm broke by Pentagon, Jr., but Cueto wants no mercy. “El Jefe” takes the match up a notch by setting up the first Mask vs. Mask match in Lucha Underground history.

Sexy Star runs back in for the save as Pentagon flees.

Before the match, Prince Puma brings out his backup: Johnny Mundo and Shawn Hernandez. Shockingly, King Cuerno brings out backup of his own as well: Texano and Cage!

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.

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?

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.

Underground Sound: Lucha Underground Recap + Review for January 28, 2015

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!
