Match of the Day - 9/19/2015: The Crew vs. Son of Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico!

We're taking it to Lucha Underground for our Match of the Day, which goes to The Crew (Bael, Mr. Cisco, and Cortez Castro) vs. Son of Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico. In all my years of being a wrestling fan, I have never stood on end for a match like I have for this one. After already becoming the inaugural LU Trios Tag Team Champions, Dario Cueto issues an impromptu No Disqualfication Match. The outcome is simply incredible. Oh, and you can't forget the death-defying leap by Angelico into the ring. Seriously!? This is a great one. If you have not watched this match (or any Lucha Underground match for that matter)... WATCH IT NOW!
