Wrestler of the Day - 9/17: El Texano, Jr.

Greetings to all! We're taking a little trip down to AAA for today's Wrestler of the Day, which is El Texano, Jr!

The son of the late El Texano, the young Texano, Jr. has been one of the top rudos in AAA since his debut for the promotion. He has been affiliated with Los Perros del Mal and Los Hijos del Averno, and now is currently affiliated with La Sociedad, more specifically the subgroup El Consejo with El Hijo del Fantasma. Perhaps one of his biggest credentials is being the longest reigning AAA Mega Champion in AAA history, holding the title for 735 days until being upended by Alberto El Patron. With his bullrope always in tow, Texano will surely make his mark in lucha libre.

Here's Texano defending the Mega Campeonato AAA against Alberto El Patron at Guerra Titanes on December 7, 2014.

Konnan tells Puma to focus and encourages him to win his match.

Before the main event title match, Lucha Underground proprietor Dario Cueto emerges from his office and introduces the brand new Lucha Underground title belt, replacing the first one that was desecrated by Cage.

Prince Puma beats Cage to retain the Lucha Underground Championship, much thanks to the help of his mentor Konnan and the debuting Shawn Hernandez, whom Cage called out during the match. Konnan presents Puma with the new title belt to end the show.

Here are highlights from tonight's show!

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground Recap for March 4, 2015

Dario Cueto is excited about Alberto El Patron's debut match in Lucha Underground... and his sacred temple. He proposes matches against the likes of Famous B, but Alberto angrily disapproves. He wants one man in the ring... El Texano, Jr. Cueto reluctantly accepts El Patron's request.

Mil Muertes beats Fenix. Afterwards, Mil Muertes signals for Catrina to do her signature "Lick of Death" on Fenix, but defies him, only to be grabbed up in a chokehold. She drops the rock (which possesses some kind of power), and is rammed to corner of the ring. Fenix grabs the rock and makes the save, laying Mil Muertes out with the Enziguri. Catrina does the "Lick of Death" on Mil Muertes and then kisses Fenix once again.

Konnan will seek revenge!

Ivelisse is in Dario Cueto's office, and she thinks she deserves a shot at the title. Cueto disagrees, saying that she's only won one singles match against Angelico, and she would have to prove herself worthy of a title shot.

Prince Puma is training backstage. Alberto El Patron interrupts and makes it simple: he's coming for the Lucha Underground Championship.

Big Ryck beats Sexy Star after Ryck simply sets her down and pins her, thus earning a three-on-one match with The Crew in the near future. The Crew (Bael, Cisco, Cortez Castro) attack Big Ryck. Sexy Star briefly joins in before being laid out by Cisco. Big Ryck explodes with a comeback before the trio scurry out of the rin.

We look at the background of Alberto El Patron, who looks to achieve more greatness in America by conquering Lucha Underground, but on his own terms.

El Texano beats Alberto El Patron via disqualification when the referee catches El Patron with Texano's bullrope.

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.

The mysterious woman in black is walking secretly backstage and opens the door to walk up a flight of stairs. Where is she going?

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? Pimpinela Escarlata, Mascarita Sagrada and Sexy Star. He wants them to hurt the technicos so bad, that they will never come back into the Lucha Underground Temple.

Ivelisse and Son of Havoc are in the ring. She says that even though Son of Havoc is scheduled to face Angelico in a rematch, she says that after seeing him lose for the past couple of weeks, the she will challenge his manhood by Angelico facing HER in a match.

Ivelisse defeated Angelico, thanks to the help of her boyfriend, Son of Havoc. Angelico grabs the mic afterwards and says if she wants to wrestle him again, but without her boyfriend around, he'll be glad to do so. He says this with wink, hinting that he may have a thing for Ivelisse.

Vampiro has a Spanish with the newcomer El Texano, Jr. Texano claims that Alberto El Patron stole the AAA World Heavyweight Championship from him, and says that he will reclaim what is his.

Texano Jr. quickly defeated Super Fly. Alberto El Patron comes out and he and Texano brawl around ringside. El Patron grabs Texano's signature bullrope and whips him with it, before El Texano scurries away.

Cage is in Dario Cueto's office, who says that he should already be champion. Cueto says that despite Cage having what he wants in a champion, Puma is still the champion. 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.

Since this has been a jam packed episode of Lucha Underground, I will post my review on a separate post. Stay tuned!
