We start the show with a brief background of how Lucha Underground came about, with the owner and promoter of Lucha Underground, Dario Cueto making an excursion from Mexico to America, much to the dismal of the fans. He chugs around this suitcase of $100,000… CASH! After this background is shown, we move on to the show.
With my investigations, the scene is pretty cool! There is a band performing on the stage of the arena and the audience is pretty into it.
Melissa Santos is the ring announcer who welcomes Dario Cueto to the ring as he welcome everyone to “his temple”. The briefcase with $100,000 makes an appearance as well, and Dario will award the briefcase to the wrestler who impresses him the most.
Blue Demon, Jr. defeated Chavo Guerrero, Jr. via Submission, setting the standard in order for him to win the $100,000.
A segment between company owner Dario Cueto and Konnan is shown. Konnan is looking to make a deal with the owner by bringing in what he considers to be “the best wrestler in the world”. Cueto seemingly accepts this, but only under one condition: this wrestler had better respect his temple.
Back from commercial break, Johnny Mundo is seemingly stretching for a match.
Taking place in what looks to be a training facility, Konnan, the three-decade veteran, is promoting his newest protégé Prince Puma. Konnan already labels Puma as a Lucha Libre legend, declaring this because it is in his blood.
Inter-Gender Match: Sexy Star vs. Son of Havoc next!
A promo by Sexy Star is shown. She cuts an female-empowerment style promo, and looks to prove that women are sexy and can kick ass just as good as the men.
Son of Havoc, who is apparently not intent on wrestling Sexy Star disses her and warns her to leave the match whole she can.
Inter Gender Match: Son of Havoc defeated Sexy Starr. He’s gotten a lot of heat during this match.
Chavo Guerrero, Jr., who is obviously upset about his loss to Blue Demon, Jr. in the opening match, sits in distain. Dario Cueto shows up and warns him about this, and says that if he can’t get the job done, then he will have to find some other lucha who will.
Johnny Mundo defeated Prince Puma with The End of the World (formerly Starship Pain) in Lucha Underground’s first live main event. As Mundo and Puma raise hands in respect, Dario Cueto comes to the ring to present the $100,000 grand prize, reluctantly. As Mundo and Cueto struggle with the briefcase, two strange guys mob Mundo and Dario retreats with the case. Big Ryck comes and decimates Puma before delivering the same fate to Johnny Mundo. Dario Cueto then marks himself as the devious owner of the company and welcomes everyone to Lucha Undergroudn to end the show.

I agree with this, Jamie. Two wrestling shows in one night (Lucha and Impact).. EPIC!
DeleteSomething tells me I missed out on something interesting, since I don't get the El Rey network.
ReplyDeleteYou sure did! If I were you, I would hunt for ways to check it out.
