Lucha Underground Review 2/18/25 - "Eye for an Eye"


REVIEW!!!

Sup, everyone and welcome to the February 18, 2015 edition of Lucha Underground! Tonight's episode was a jam-packed one. So jam-packed that I had to make this week's review a separate post. Not like I'm complaining, though. :) There is a lot for me to talk about tonight, including: End of the search for Matanza?,  El Texano, Jr. vs. Alberto El Patron, Catrina's new love?, Chavo quitting and the return of Big Ryck. That's a mouthful! So, without further ado, let's get started!

End of the Search for Matanza?

Here we are with another part to the "Quest for Matanza". The mystery woman is still on the hunt for tis "Matanza, but it seems like she finally found him/her tonight in a dark room backstage. She says that she has been waiting to kill them wiht her bare hands every since she was a little girl. But who? Who is this Matanza? I recall predicting that it was someone on the roster, but apparently, it may be someone else... but who? What is she after them for? What have they done to her? So many questions, but no answers, as of yet. With her confronting the mysterious figure tonight may be a sign of "Matanza" making his/her debut in the coming weeks. 

El Texano, Jr. vs. Alberto El Patron

Things came to a head tonight when Alberto El Patron gained a little retribution against El Texano for his brutal sneak attack last week. Prior to Texano's debut match tonight, he stated in an interview with Vampiro that Alberto "stole" the AAA World Heavyweight Championship from him, and that he will reclaim what's his. This is very interesting to me, because what if Lucha Underground makes that big move and book an AAA World title match between the two on an episode of Lucha Underground. I mean, that would be a big step for Lucha Underground as a company, and it can help AAA gain some Amercan exposure with interporomotional matches on Lucha Underground. Of course, I am going to have to do some research as to why El Texano, Jr . calims that Alberto stole the title from him. I am excited to see what happens in this rivalry. El Texano just has this badass look to him, along with great agility and speed for his size. This guy's the real deal. Oh, and it doesn't hurt to have El Texano as a father, either. To close this part of the review: Lucha Underground, book El Texano, Jr. vs. Alberto El Patron. NOW!

Catrina's New Love?

Oh, how this storyline gets freakier and weirder with each passing week, This week, Mil Muertes started off the show in a match against Chavo Guerrero (who I will discuss later in this review), but Catrina did not accompany him as usual. She came out later on in the match. Things really started to get well... creepy after the match when Mil Muertes precedes to choking Catrina and taking advantage of her. Fenix, who Catrin has been feasting her eyes on for the past several weeks storms the ring and takes out Mil Muertes. Catrina kisses Fenix yet again, but now it seems that Fenix is more accepting of it. What is going on with this picture? It seems that Catrina is really leaving Mil Muertes for Fenix, but then again, something inside me tells me that this is all a hoax and that this a way to to gain psychological control over Fenix in order for Mil Muertes to get revenge on Fenix for defeating him a couple of weeks ago. Either way, to be continued....

Chavo QUITS!

Chavo Guerrero dropped the bomb on Dario Cueto (right after Cueto' meeting with Cage. may I add) that he quits and that everyone in Mexico was right and he was going to be with his family. However, Cueto shrugs this off, and gives him that lame "I wish you good luck on your future endeavors." mesh. Of course, this may be kayfabe, but I feel that he's going to come back with some backup. Remember when he was ranting about being the top guy in Lucha Underground? Well, I feel that every since Aztec Warfare, Chavo's top heel status took a quick downfall, especially with the debuts of Cage and newest Crew member, Bael. I think that this is not a good move, because first off, it was definittely out of nowhere and two : they set him up to be this top bad guy and to step out of the Guerrero shadow, and now it seems that it has all gone downhill. Hmm, maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions too quickly...

Return of Big Ryck - Vengeance shall be his!

During the trios main event match, Big Ryck, who is wearing an eye patch due to his eye being burning by a cigar that he smoked by a Crew member. The Crew (Bael, Cisco and Cortez Castro) make a run for it, livign to fight another day. Wuth this return, I definitely see a big match of some sorts in the works. Maybe a handicap, trios or a series of singles matches where Big Ryck takes them all down one by one. I don't care, to be honest. I just want to see how he goes to the Old Testament on their asses!

That's it for this week! Until next week, keep on flyin'! LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!
