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!
