Viva La Lucha Libre
Lucha Underground 3/11/15
Written by Mark Adam Haggerty

I was walking down the street in Beverly Hills just yesterday morning when what should I see, but a group of teenagers wearing gray and black "Lucha Underground shirts." Viva la Lucha Revolucion! Ladies and gentlemen my name is Mark Adam Haggerty coming at you from the sunny and sandy beaches of Southern California where I am literally sitting on the edge of the Pacific Ocean with my feet in the water. I'm here with you as always to break down the comings and goings of Lucha Underground on the El Rey Network, so without further ado, let's talk about the good and bad from this week's episode.

The show begins with a series of flashbacks to previous weeks involving several luchadors and their already established programs. Pentagon Jr. is still praying to an unknown leader; Ivelisse and Angelico prepare for intergender competition with Son of Havoc as referee; and King Cuerno is still on the hunt for his most sought after prize—Johnny Mundo. The crowd inside the Temple is just as electric as always, ready for some of the highest impact wrestling action in America. Amandititita is performing once again, getting the �Faithful psyched for the opening contest as Vampiro and Matt Striker introduce ring announcer Melissa Santos.

Pentagon Jr. enters the arena amidst a sea of fog and strobe lights. The crowd chants "Zero Fear" in Spanish, referencing Pentagon's own mantra. Argenis makes his way down toward the ringside area—we haven't seen much of Argenis since his initial debut with Lucha Underground, but he'll prove to be Pentagon's greatest challenge in over a month. Pentagon's highly impressive skill set gets the best of him when he immediately rolls into a kick by Argenis, allowing the smaller luchador the opportunity to send him spinning with an airplane head scissors. As is the name of the game in Lucha Underground, both men spill to the outside of the ring where Argenis capitalizes with a high-risk aerial assault. Argenis brings his opponent back into the squared-circle, where Pentagon Jr. jumps up to meet his attack. Back in action again, Pentagon turns the tables, only for Argenis to reverse into a hurricanrana from the top rope. The camera leaves the ring for a moment to show the most recent celebrities in attendance, including wrestler, MMA-fighter, and NJPW broadcaster Josh Barnett. Argenis fights valiantly but is bested by the ruthless Pentagon Jr. who achieves victory after employing a litany of offensive maneuvers, sealing the deal with his dreaded arm-hook submission. Following the bell, Pentagon reminded us who he is—he is "ZERO FEAR!"

Back from the break and Catrina is tip-toing around the locker room where Fenix is contemplating the current love-triangle threatening to end his career. She emerges from the shadows and warns Fenix what he's up against in a warrior like Mil Muertes. She claims the only way to defeat him—is to bury him. The backstage segments continue with another vignette highlighting the ongoing feud involving Konnan, Prince Puma and Cage. Konnan is working toward forging a solid steel cane that he then displays by breaking cinder blocks with a single swing.

Melissa Santos introduces the South African sensation Angelico who waits patiently for his opponent, the "baddest bitch in the building," Ivelisse. She enters the arena dressed like a boss, with a scarf stretched across her face, playing to the cameras and fans inside the Temple. Finally, Santos introduces the special guest referee Son of Havoc. Matt Striker and Vampiro both act as if this wasn't already announced, but I'll chock that up to bad broadcasting, not poor producing. Havoc enters the ring and right away tells Ivelisse that he's prepared to call this down the middle. The same as last time, Angelico is unprepared to deal with wrestling a woman, instead opting to duck her kicks and reverse the rest of her offense. Eventually they're both forced to engage in a meaningful way which leads both luchadors to an advantage. Ivelisse twists and turns from the top rope to the outside where Angelico is thrust into the front row of the audience. Ivelisse enters the ring, waiting for Angelico, and gives Son of Havoc—the referee—a high five. The fans grow angry with the heelish tendencies of both Ivelisse and the official, backing Angelico as he gains the offensive in whatever way he can. Angelico lifted Ivelisse into a suplex lasting a 5-count from the crowd until the former developmental Diva turned the momentum in her favor by applying a full body submission hold. Angelico gets out of the hold and signals for his finishing maneuver, a variation of the razor's edge, but Havoc drags Ivelisse out and to safety. Angelico kicked Ivelisse in the head, knocking her out and proceeded to make the pin in a very provocative way, forcing Havoc to make the count.

Mil Muertes is alone in the locker room staring into a mirror. He lifts his head and pulls his mask on. Catrina's voice is all that becomes audible, reminding Mil of his troubled past and promising a match with "grave consequences." Next week Fenix will go one-on-one with Mil Muertes in a "Coffin Match."

The main event is already set to take place with the first-ever cage match in Lucha Underground history. Melissa Santos explains the rules and three ways to win—pin, submission, or climbing out. King Cuerno enters the Lucha Underground Temple to a regal reception from the Temple Believers. He carries the buck head crown per usual, placing it on the corner turn post. His opponent is the former ECW champion Johnny Mundo, who can't seem to break away from his dumb "Shaman of Sexy" pose and fur coat, no matter how ridiculous they look. The cage is similar to the cages of old, used in the NWA and WCW, where the top only reaches 8-10 feet in height. Senior official Marty Elias is inside the steel cage as the action starts kicking up right from the bell. This match is quite different from the majority of bouts we've seen in LU since its inception; most Lucha Underground competition involves a number of high spots to-and-from the outside of the ring. Mundo is the first to leap from an elevated position, hitting the steel cage in its corner and spring boarding back onto King Cuerno. Johnny Mundo is far more experienced in this sort of match, but it doesn't take long for King Cuerno to find his bearings and gain the upper hand. Cuerno climbed the cage and stepped to the center, off of which he leapt onto Mundo with a vicious splash. Neither man is keen to escape the ring just yet as their feud is based on pure hatred, rather than competition. Johnny Mundo proceeds to take a header directly into the bottom of the cage, and Cuerno rakes his face across its grating. Cuerno is the first to try and escape, pointing toward the top of the cage and started his ascent toward victory. Johnny Mundo sprung back into action, stopping the "King" and struggling to keep the offense. Johnny tries for a series of pins—because why would a good guy escape the cage—but to no avail.

This show is phenomenal with booking these kinds of matches sans commercial breaks, and that's because the owner of the network—Robert Rodriguez—is heavily involved with the production of Lucha Underground. Cuerno continues trying to escape the ring while Johnny tends to rely more on pin falls or submissions to attain victory. When Johnny does try and escape, Cuerno comes back with a powerbomb off the cage and down to the floor. The crowd begins chanting "this is awesome," standing on their feet and competing with alternating rounds of "Johnny Mundo" and "Let's Go Cuerno." King Cuerno goes for the win, but Johnny stops him by attempting to pull off his mask. Cuerno starts to lose his mind, as King Cuerno's face has legitimately NEVER been seen—that's a shoot. They both fall from the top of the cage and Marty Elias begins the double count, reaching seven before they can get to their knees and begin to rise to meet the other's punches. Johnny switches from punches to forearms and sends Cuerno into the steel cage. They trade shots on one another, each using the steel as an inanimate tag team partner. A huge European uppercut by Cuerno and Mundo is on the ground, but not for long. Mundo hits Cuerno with a big Spear, leveling both individuals until Elias is forced to make his count again. Johnny hits his feet after the count of six, and starts to climb the cage in the same corner as the buck head mask. Vampiro points out the danger of the buck's antlers in such close proximity to the action; Johnny slams Cuerno's face into the cage, sending Cuerno down onto the mat below. Johnny is inches from victory by jumping to the outside but instead decides to jump INTO the ring, hitting King Cuerno with a variation on Jeff Hardy's "Whisper in the Wind" for the 1-2-3. Johnny Mundo closes out Lucha Underground by climbing the cage and raising his fist with the rhythm of the crowd's roar: "Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!"

Another excellent edition of a television series that appears to be growing by the week. After listening to several interviews with producers and talent alike, courtesy of "The Wrestling Compadre Slamcast" on the Afterbuzz Network, I'm more excited than ever to see what's in store in the coming weeks, months, and even YEARS ! Until next time this has been Mark Adam Haggerty, reminding you to keep checking out Cheap-Heat and to follow me on Facebook by LIKING "Mark Haggerty's Pro Wrestling."

It's another down-and-dirty week for the stars of Lucha Underground, who left no shortage of blood and tears inside the squared circle. In fact I'm positive Sexy Star finished the main event with fewer teeth than before. The developing controversy involving "Black Lotus" is further explored over the course of the broadcast, but the real story inside the Boyle Heights Temple is the championship title hunt. What will become of the Lucha Underground championship, and how will the AAA heavyweight rivalry between Patron and Texano affect the legitimacy of the homegrown belt? This week was action packed from start to finish, "book-ended" by duel main events, featuring the surprise return of Big Ryck. So let's take a few moments and celebrate this week in Mexican wrestling excitement—it's "Viva La Lucha Libre!"

Matt Striker is the first face we see this week, as he and Vampiro sit ringside per usual, preparing for an epic night of international athleticism. The opening contest is the first of the "book-ended" double main event, featuring Chavo Guerrero in his quest to defeat the sinister Mil Muertes. This rivalry stems from their initial interaction during Lucha Underground's debut, where a then-babyface Chavo Guerrero came to aid Blue Demon against the monstrous Mil. Muertes is without his usual valet Catrina, which makes no difference as he sets to square off against Chavo. Mil gains the upper hand from the early going, using his size-advantage and knowledge of the ringside area to dissect the former world champion. Before long, Catrina appears on the staircase and descends down into the Temple, where Mil soon becomes distracted by her venomous allure. Chavo attempts a Dragon-steiner out of the corner but is caught by Muertes, who commands respect out of the life-long "cruiserweight." Mil becomes enamored with Catrina once more, allowing Chavo the chance to reach a steel chair at ringside. He wallops the giant, but doesn't cause any damage—Mil Muertes stood his ground. Senior referee Marty Elias called for the bell, awarding the match to Mil on account of disqualification. But the battle was far from over. Muertes took Chavo in one arm and delivered a flooring Flatliner onto the chair. Catrina attempted to leave, but Mil forced her into the ring and guided her face alongside that of Chavo's. He commanded her to lick Guerrero's face, the same as she has done to Mil's previous victims. When she refused, Mil decided to give her a Flatliner as well. The crowd screamed as Muertes prepared to break her neck, but the carnage came to a screeching halt thanks to Fenix. The high-flying luchador sprinted to the squared-circle, retrieved Catrina, and retreated from whence he came. As they escaped, Catrina looked back at Mil and punctuated the predicament with a deep kiss to her hero, Fenix.

Just before the commercial break, we see Black Lotus, the mysterious Asian woman from weeks past, picking her way into the dark hallway leading to Matanza's cell. Back from the break and Dario Cueto is in his office speaking with the Crew. The trio is now official, sporting identical jerseys with their names embroidered on the back. This is especially helpful for those of us having trouble remembering which one is Cisco and which one is Castro—we all know who Bael is! Dario tells the group that he is rewarding them for their hard work with a main event match tonight. But "El Jefe" requires proof that the way they dismantled Big Ryck was more than just a fluke, he wants them to take out whomever may oppose the Dario Cueto regime. Tonight the Crew will need to defeat "three unlikely heroes"—Sexy Star, Mascarita Sagrada and Pimpenela Escarlata. Dario calls them freaks, saying that he's sick of how popular they've become, and wants the Crew to "hurt them so bad, that they never come back."

Back inside the Temple and we get to see my favorite Mariachi band on American television, Mariachi El Bronx! The group plays to an enthused number of fans, as Ivelisse and Son of Havok take the stage. Ivelisse takes the microphone, and tells the Faithful that since Havok can't seem to win a match, she'll take his place tonight against Angelico. This doesn't seem to sit well with Havok, but he does as he's told and vacates the ring, allowing the "baddest bitch in the building" the chance to shine. Angelico enters and is at first unaware of how to mix-it-up with a female competitor. He keeps her at a safe distance and thwarts her offense all he can before tying up and treating her just the same as any luchador. Angelico is an incredible talent who has the total package necessary to succeed. He's talented, he's good looking, he's tall, and he can speak despite having a thick South African accent. I think Angelico is perhaps one to watch in regards to NXT poaching Lucha Underground wrestlers come the tail-end of their contracts. Ivelisse walked away with a hard-fought win over Angelico, proving that she has what it takes, while Son of Havok might not. Following the bell, Angelico asked for the mic and said, "Ivelisse—if you ever want to go one-on-one with me without your boyfriend around, it’d be my pleasure.” The couple staggered out in disbelief while the defeated Angelico winked and stood tall as though winning the bout.

Up next is the highly-anticipated in-ring debut of former AAA world heavyweight champion Texano Jr. In addition to holding the belt longer than anyone in history, over two years, Texano was also the youngest AAA champion in history. That is, until Alberto El Patron reemerged on the Mexican wrestling scene and took it– stole it, as Texano might say. The young former-champion is set to engage with Lucha legend Super Fly, but before the match can get underway, Vampiro presents a pre-recorded interview with Texano en Español! The interview began on a positive note, with Vampiro introducing him as a world renowned wrestler known in Japan and Mexico. But when Vamp' referred to Texano Jr. as an ex -AAA champion, the 30-year old cowboy took exception. "You are in the presence of a top star," he began, "And I will be the next superstar in the Lucha underground.” Vampiro begrudgingly disagreed, saying Patron is the man because he is the one in possession of the title. Texano became enraged, saying that Patron stole the belt, and that the only reason he's in Lucha Underground is to destroy Alberto El Patron and take what's his. The match is finally able to begin where Texano Jr. and Super Fly start with a seesaw of chain wrestling until Texano gains the edge through a series of well-placed knife-edge chops. Super Fly, the veteran, is not to be outdone by a punk kid such as Texano, and leaps from the top rope, catching the former-champion with a flying cross-body. Texano, now groggy, managed to return the favor in the form of a beautiful can-opener leg drop followed by a rolling neck breaker for the 1-2-3. When the bell sounded, Alberto El Patron appeared at the top of the stairs, ready for vengeance following last week's blindside assault. Texano ran for cover, but was cut-off by Patron, who dragged him back into the ring and proceeded to beat him with his own bull rope.

Backstage in Dario Cueto's office once more and the "Machine" known as Cage walks through the door, wearing the tattered and torn title belt around his neck. He demands a championship match, an opportunity Dario would love to give him, but the truth is that Prince Puma is still the Lucha Underground champion. And the last time Cage wrestled Puma, he lost. Dario says that he's going to give Cage another chance—next week the "Machine" will have a non-title bout with Prince Puma, and if he wins, will receive a championship match in the very near future. Cage reluctantly agrees, but warns Cueto he'd better get a "real" title belt and not some "Aztec piece of crap." Cage exits, and passes an infuriated Chavo Guerrero on his way out. Chavo has his gear packed and his bag draped over his shoulder and tells Cueto that he's had enough. He's going home to be with his family—Chavo quits! Dario completely no-sold Guerrero's resignation by simply saying, "Whatever Chavo. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors." Chavo was even angrier, but Cueto assured him that the doors to his Temple are always open.

Black Lotus is sneaking through the darkened depths of the Temple, down in the bowels of Boyle Heights. She's managed to locate Matanza and infiltrate the secret passage without needing to steal Cueto's key. As she drew closer to the caged beast, she spoke soft but definitively: "So this is where he keeps you locked up? When I was a little girl all I wanted to be when I grew up was the woman who killed you with my bare hands."

The final break has come and gone and we're locked in for the main event six-person tag contest. The Crew is already in the ring awaiting the "Freaks," as Dario referred to them. The festive music soon begins to play and Sexy Star leads the mini sensation Mascarita Sagrada and the eccentric exotico Pimpenela Escarlata to the ring. Dario says that he's sick of how popular these characters have been, which begs the question as to why he brought them to his Temple in the first place? The Crew dominates through most of the match with the mismatched trio of Star, Sagrada and Escarlata gaining individual advantages but never as a whole. The Crew is a long-time team and used proper ring psychology to single out each Luchador until they were effectively eliminated. By the midway point, both Mascarita Sagrada and Pimpenela Escarlata were nowhere to be seen, allowing the Crew to capitalize on a 3-on-1 advantage over Sexy Star. The three Mexican gangsters put her through her paces, kicking her face so hard that blood gushed from between her lips as she struggled to regain composure. Sexy is finally able to even the odds by administering an abundance of arm-drags and high-flying offense, as well as a low-blow which pops the crowd like nothing else. While I'm still not one to walk the "Bael Trail," I'm starting to come around to Mr. Cisco and Castro Cortez, a journeyman duo dating back to the dark days of Wrestling Society X. Sexy Star still appears to be the only active member of her team with Sagrada and Escarlata recuperating on the outside mats. The Crew attacked Sexy with a fury of kicks, and simultaneously signaled that the end was near. As the Crew prepared the finish the job assigned to them by Dario Cueto, their arch enemy Big Ryck arrived on the scene. Ryck was now clean shaven and sporting an eye-patch thanks to the attack he suffered at the hands of the Crew. The Distraction played well for Sexy Star as she was able to take advantage of Bael and secure a pinfall in the process. Ryck entered the ring alongside a bloody-mouthed, yet-victorious �Star. The Crew cursed both Big Ryck and the Lucha Underground fans as they retreated into Dario's office, humiliated after having been defeated by Sexy Star.

Big Ryck's return might spell certain doom for the Crew, but what does it mean in terms of his presence in the locker room? For months, Ryck ran roughshod over Lucha Underground, making a number of enemies in the wake of his destruction. Who, if anyone, can Ryck rely on to even the odds against Dario Cueto and the Crew? Next week's episode will feature the long-awaited rematch between Cage and Prince Puma, whereby if Cage is victorious, he will earn a championship title match in the near future. Until then, this has been Mark Adam Haggerty with "Viva La Lucha Libre."

Only one month into an electrifying calendar, and the stars inside the Boyle Heights Temple are already delivering "Match of the Year" caliber contests. Welcome back to the most analytical examination of what is quickly becoming the most exciting hour in professional wrestling in America—Lucha Underground! We're here with another in-depth breakdown of everything going on courtesy of AAA, Mark Burnett, and the El Rey Network. Last week's show was one of the more slower-paced episodes since �Underground debuted in the autumn of 2014, but that's not to say it didn't create buzz over events still yet to unfold. This week continued building toward a larger story but introduced various elements formerly unknown to the television viewers, so let's get right into it with the opening contest—this is "Viva La Lucha Libre!"

The �Faithful' inside the Temple are on fire, rocking to the rhythm of the house band now-known as Mariachi El Bronx. Sitting ringside as usual are Matt Striker and Vampiro who is wearing the coolest jacket—well, the coolest jacket Vampiro's ever worn. The action inside the ring is immediately underway with the introduction of Son of Havok and Ivelisse. Both individuals competed in the Aztec Warfare battle royal for the Lucha Underground title, but neither has been seen on El Rey since. The crowd isn't shy when it comes to telling Havok how they feel about him, chanting "loser" over and over until Ivelisse had enough. "I am tired of reading all the tweets on social media about Son of Havok saying that he sucks," she began, "Let me tell you something: I don't date losers. A'ight? If you have a problem with him, then you have a problem with me too—the baddest bitch in the building!" Havok's opponent in this opening contest is the exhilarating sensation from South Africa known as Angelico. He makes his way to ring side with a spring in his step, representing Lucha Underground to the fullest with his black Lucha t-shirt. The match was off and running and within a few moments of back and forth interaction, Havok gained the lead and even the support of the fans. Through a varied course of high adrenaline offense including a sit-down face buster and a litany of aerial maneuvers, Havok turned the tide and had no problem going hold-for-hold with the fan-favorite Angelico. The end came however, when a series of precarious close-calls involving Ivelisse ended with Son of Havok inadvertently spearing his girlfriend off of the apron. It was just a matter of rolling the masked rudo into a pinning predicament before Angelico walked away with the 1-2-3.

Back from the commercial and the number one non-wrestling personality in sports entertainment, Dario Cueto, is on hand offering an olive branch to a once despised rival. "Welcome back, I haven't seen you since Aztec Warfare." Across from Cueto was Johnny Mundo, inside the Temple again and ready for battle. "I know we've had our issues in the past," Cueto continued, "But since you've been gone, we've both had time to cool off." Dario is a business man who can recognize a good opportunity when it's sitting in front of him, and therefore requests another "5-star match" from Mundo, this time against Cage. "You mean that �ham-bone' that tore apart your title belt," questioned Johnny? "You better get a new one." Matt Striker and Vampiro are still sizzling from the first match-up, and are preparing to introduce Famous B—a Southern California local who is fixing to square off against one of the most fearsome competitors in Lucha Underground, Pentagon Jr. Before the match can get started, a vignette rolls once again highlighting the intricacies of Pentagon as well as his dedication to martial arts: "Look into my eyes! I am Pentagon Jr. No fear!" The match lasts only moments before B succumbs to the incredibly tactile technique of Pentagon, who sets his opponent up for defeat with a vicious spike package pile driver. Once B's skull hit the canvas he was completely knocked out, awakened only by the excruciating agony inflicted by Pentagon, who ended the encounter by ignoring the official and snapping the arm of Famous B.

Deep in the darkened �dungeons' beneath the Temple, Cueto sits solemnly staring into a cell. "The news of this temple and what we are doing here is spreading." Cueto toyed with the mysterious key dangling around his neck, "Such a shame you can't enjoy it with me." The question as to what lock the key might open has been answered, but to whom is Cueto speaking? Another mysterious reveal suggests that the unnamed Asian woman who accosted Dario last week is looking for whoever—or whatever is trapped in the bowels of the Boyle Heights building. The allure of Lucha Libre continues as two babyface competitors take to the ring in a true test of "good" versus "evil." Aerostar is dressed in white, and according to Matt Striker represents the "Heavens" in this metaphorical battle against Drago—a supernatural superstar said to be from the Depths of Hell. Drago's hard-hitting ground game and Aerostar's high-flying airborne assault prove to be complimentary components as this contest roars on with very few moments to rest. The formidable Drago walks away with a win after outwitting the younger tecnico , but neither man leaves the ringside area until they shake hands and hold their arms high in a sign of mutual respect. Backstage before the main event can begin, Fenix is hard at work applying his strongest strikes to the dusty old Everlast bag, perhaps in an effort to hone his greater assets in preparation for his next world title battle. Catrina comes out of the shadows, with Mil Muertes nowhere in sight. She touched the tattoo on Fenix's chest, an artistic rendering of a dream-catcher. "Does this protect you from nightmares," Catrina asked? Before Fenix could respond, she kissed him, deeply and passionately with a final warning, not to let Mil find out: "He'll bury us both alive."

Up next is the main event, an impromptu grudge match having nothing to do with the sort of respect we saw a few moments ago, and everything to do with rising to the top of the Lucha Underground roster: Johnny Mundo is set to go one-on-one with Cage. As the Machine walked to the ring, he wore the tattered remains of the Lucha Underground title around his neck, laughing and taunting the Temple Faithful as he sauntered into the squared-circle. The match was rather even, with a slight edge going to Mundo in the early going until a powerbomb on the outside rendered the former Shaman of Sexy motionless. Vampiro picked this close call alongside the stairs to point out the danger in wrestling so close to the steel steps: "Did you know if you fell and hit your head on those steps you could DIE ?" It was at this time that King Cuerno made his presence known, if only to the television audience, when he began watching from within the rafters. Back inside the ring, Cage's domination continued with an enormity of powerful offense as well as unpredictable agility including a springboard moonsault to a downed Johnny Mundo. An Irish whip sends Johnny into the corner, but a leap-frog hoists him up and over the head of Cage, where he's unfortunately caught in a modified Alabama-jam. The back and forth is intensifying as Mundo attempts his patented "Starship Pain" to no avail, but lands on his feet and soars across the turnbuckle to Cage on the outside. The match ended by disqualification when King Cuerno finished stalking and began to hunt; he struck near the ringside area when he tripped Mundo and knocked him off the apron. Cuerno's assault continued after the bell, attacking Johnny's left leg with a steel chair and the merciless metal turnbuckle post. When all was said and done, Dario Cueto exited his office and restarted the match: "Hold on Johnny! Now that we're friends, I can't let your 5-star matches end like that!" Cage re-entered the equation and proceeded to systematically dissect Johnny Mundo, beginning with his already injured leg. "Is Dario Cueto being a dick," asked Vampiro, who couldn't comprehend why this contest was still going on. Cage finalized the destruction with a Gory Special into a flat-liner, earning himself another victory.

The show was over and just like always, Matt Striker and Vampiro wished the viewers a wonderful week and thanked them for their continued patronage of the El Rey Network. But instead of fading to black and a Mark Burnett logo, the cameras went back inside Dario's office, where a knock at the door startled the promotor. "Show's over," he yelled, attempting to scare away whomever may be bothering him. But rather than another knock, a voice echoed through the doorway, "Oh no, we're just getting started." Dario turned and stood face-to-face with a world-renowned heavyweight champion from AAA and WWE: "My name is Alberto El Patron," he said with a smile, "But you already knew that."

The unexpected arrival of Alberto El Patron was a perfectly valid reason to fast forward through the show, but why would you want to miss an entire hour jam-packed with the most consistent professional wrestling on the planet? What might we expect to see inside the Temple as 2015 continues to unravel in new and exciting ways? Who is Pentagon's master now that he's seen Chavo Guerrero for what he truly is? Will a new belt be bestowed upon Prince Puma, or will Cage's torn title be the symbol of Lucha Underground? And who the hell does Dario Cueto have locked away in the Temple? Hopefully we'll get the answers, plus a dozen more questions this time next week with another exciting installment of "Viva La Lucha Libre!"

Viva La Lucha Libre
Lucha Underground 1/7/15
Written by Mark Adam Haggerty

Finally a Lucha Underground Champion has been crowned! Hello everybody and a happy new year to you and yours, my name is Mark Adam Haggerty and I'm back to discuss this week's episode of Lucha Underground. Tonight's show was a one-match card—literally! I'm not blowing smoke, there was one match that began mere moments after the show began and ended as the broadcast faded from the airways. I thought this was an exhilarating way to exhibit the entire roster in a rather unique concept kayfabely concocted by owner and promotor, Dario Cueto. Aztec Warfare is more than just a flashy title fitting with the already-established Mexican theme of Lucha Underground; it is an all-out war designed to narrow the field of champions so that there be no question as to who is most deserving of the coveted gold belt. The rules are simple: two competitors start the match and every 90 seconds another luchador joins the action until all 20 combatants have entered. The only way to eliminate your opponent is by pin fall or submission. So it's basically a battle royal spread across the entire Lucha Underground Temple with no rules other than: there must be a winner.

This contest opened on Aztec Dancers swinging flaming sticks and stepping in unison with one another. The pageantry was unprecedented for such a young promotion but wasn't as campy as one might expect having only read about it. Starting out of course was the wildfire Fenix who was handed the number one spot after failing to defeat Mil Muertes just a few weeks ago. Number two is the incomparable Johnny Mundo who has been but a thorn in the side of Dario Cueto since arriving in Lucha Underground. It's strange seeing Johnny mix it up with so many competitors at once as he's a fair amount larger than most of them. It's like playing with your Hasbro figures and suddenly somebody hands you an LJN. But getting under way with Fenix was a fine way to set both of these babyfaces behind the eight-ball in the early going. Out next is one of Big Ryck's most-trusted associates Mr. Cisco who is eliminated before the number four entrant can even be announced. Poor Mr. Cisco.

The match rolls along with Fenix and Mundo maintaining focus, until King Cuerno enters the fray at number four. Cuerno is one of the most intriguing wrestlers on the Lucha Roster due to the mystery which surrounds him. The Aztec Warfare match allows athletes the opportunity to take the action outside of the squared circle and that's exactly what Cuerno did. Known as "The Pursuer," Cuero is vilified as a relentless hunter, with perhaps no stronger weapon than his own "Arrow from the Depths of Hell"—a suicide dive after not one but two rotations between ropes to gain speed. Cuerno is a truly impressive talent and a wrestler whom I hope to see challenge for the title—uh should he not win this match, I mean. Listen—if you're hip to the "dirt sheets," then you probably already know who's walking out of Boyle Heights with championship gold. But that shouldn't affect your ability to properly enjoy an hour-long contest featuring twenty of the most outstanding stars from both sides of the border.

Number five is Son of Havoc, who once again is absolutely DWARFED by Johnny Mundo. Havoc looks like a medieval executioner, but the menacing nature of his character is all but lost when the audience is privy to the sheer size difference between he and Mundo. Next is the exotico wrestler from AAA Pimpenela Escarlata! I'm not sure how the whole exotico culture would fly on American television; the WWF attempted it to a degree with Goldust and TNA featured the controversial Orlando Jordan. While Darren Young is the first openly gay professional wrestler, his workrate is far removed from the kissing, poking, and prodding that Escarlata seems to away with. The number seven entry in Aztec Warfare is the highly regarded Prince Puma who quickly reengages his rivalry with Johnny Mundo. Then Lucha Underground surprised me as number eight was the former developmental Diva Ivelisse. I didn't know that the female competitors were going to be involved in this contest. I didn't mind their participation because neither Ivelisse nor Sexy Star ever appear to have any issue keeping in step with their male counterparts. However I didn't like the way in which Matt Striker snickered whenever he said something to the effect of, "Our first champion could be a woman"—which yes, is utterly hilarious. But it's inappropriate for Striker to say, especially on such a progressive program as Lucha Underground.

As more and more luchadors were eliminated including Escarlata, Ivelisse, and Son of Havoc, the number nine entrant was revealed—Drago! Drago has a longstanding disdain for King Cuerno that seems to be based purely in competition. Both wrestlers watched one another from afar as they handled their business separately, but did so as if to warn the other what they could be capable of. Number ten is Bael. All I have to say about Bael is—who the hell is Bael? I know Cisco and Castro but don't nobody know no one named BAEL! For a moment I actually thought maybe Bael was Castro, but then number eleven came out—Castro. So really now, who is this Bael dude and why was he Bronco Busting so damn much? Number twelve is Ricky Mandell who I can't even fake a sentence about. Just after Mandell entered the fight, Prince Puma delivered a wicked Standing Shooting Star Press—to BAEL! The best part of that was when Vampiro said, "I can't believe Bael was eliminated!"

By the time the thirteenth entrant was announced, it appeared as though the rest of the match would carry with it a much higher star quality than what the previous additions of Ricky Mandell and Son of Havoc provided. Unlucky thirteen was Big Ryck, the dominant heel in Lucha Underground complete with axes to grind with both Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo. By the time Ryck entered the equation his entire Crew had been eliminated, along with Castro Cortez who passed Ryck on his way back to the locker room. As soon as the former Ezekiel Jackson hit the ring, there was nowhere to run for less formidable competitors such as Mandell and even the dreaded Drago. After eliminating Mandell, King Cuerno capitalized on Ryck's wrath by pinning his rival Drago, but not without then being eliminated himself by the Shaman of Sexy Johnny Mundo. Is he still the Shaman of Sexy? The Wednesday Night Delight, maybe. Does he still live in the Palace of Wisdom?

Next up we got one of my favorite members of the Lucha Underground roster, Pentagon Jr. Pentagon is a highly skilled Mexican athlete with extensive training in eastern warfare including all types of martial arts and swordsmanship. His affiliation with Chavo Guerrero notwithstanding, Pentagon is a decidedly educated professional wrestler who is unfortunately overshadowed on American TV by the more familiar sports entertainers. Number fifteen is Super Fly, whom I have no opinion on. I don't like that his name is Super Fly even though he appears to be just that—a SUPER FLY, which I guess is kind of cool. The numbers grow closer to twenty and as fans are aware of whom occupies the final spot, tension rises in this proverbial game of "musical chairs." I myself started listing wrestlers I hadn't seen yet and came up with a good dozen or so names left out of this match. I was hoping that we'd see Chavo Guerrero, and I was in luck when number sixteen was introduced.

Chavo has a consummate tag team partner similar to the "third member of DX." If you don't get where I'm going with that, it's in reference to Triple H's sledgehammer. Chavo's partner in crime however is a steel chair nicknamed "Amigo" who helped earn Chavito eliminations over Super Fly and Pentagon Jr. By this point the crowd is clamoring for Chavo's nemesis Sexy Star, but instead they are delivered the microscopic hot topic of Mexican Wrestling, Mascarita Sagrada! Sagrada is famous among American audiences for the work he did with the WWE during The Attitude Era, but AAA fans know him as a mini luchador capable of hanging with his supersized opponents. Just as Chavo is set to continue his systematic dissection of everyone else in the ring, number eighteen is Sexy Star! Sexy explodes into the ring throwing forearms and haymakers at Chavo, overpowering the second generation wrestler and eventually taking the fight to the concrete floor. I personally find Sexy incredibly annoying as she reminds me of any other angry woman who can't leave well enough alone. Months have passed, and she's still all, "Chavo's a jerk!" Get over it lady. Or better yet, how about somebody else takes up the mantle in eliminating Chavo so it's believable?

After Chavo hit Sexy Star with "Amigo," Blue Demon made a surprise entrance in an attempt to settle the score with Chavo. Not even an entrant in the match, Demon returned to action after the heinous assault he suffered months back at the hands of Chavo Guerrero. While the pace picked up around the ring and Mariachi Loco entered at number nineteen, Sexy was able to eliminate Chavo Guerrero with the help of Blue Demon. As the landscape started to clear and Mil Muertes joined the battle at number 20, eliminations appeared to happen at a much faster rate. Big Ryck, Sagrada, Mariachi, and even Fenix were all gone. Before long the match was down to the final four: Sexy Star, Mil Muertes, Prince Puma, and the number two entry Johnny Mundo. The four wasted no time in deciding who would walk away champion. A sensational spear from Mil Muertes virtually launched Sexy Star into the front row, earning Muertes the pin and eliminating Sexy from contention. It appeared obvious to everyone that Puma and Mundo would combine forces to eliminate the hulking Muertes. Anybody who regularly reads my Lucha reviews knows I'm not a big fan of Ricky Banderas but I might be changing my tune. I thought he was impressive in this match, despite having a noticeable erection for most of it. The final straw for Muertes came when Johnny Mundo inadvertently kicked Muertes' valet Catarina in the face. The monster was then caught off guard and hit with two 450 springboards from both Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo.

The scene was now set for the two most popular wrestlers in Lucha Underground to compete one-on-one for the vacant championship title. I almost wish that I wasn't aware of who was going to win because the final few moments between Mundo and Puma were absolutely incredible. I don't want anyone to think I'm down on Mundo because I've been a Johnny Nitro fan since he and Joey Mercury were six-man-tagging with Mark Henry. I've always loved Johnny Mundo, I just don't think a company like Lucha Underground should hang their hat on a previously established star from the WWE. The back and forth between the two was without question the highlight of the night and maybe the best wrestling of the entire week. It would appear that toward the end, Johnny Mundo's hubris got the better of him, which would lead to his eventual downfall. After hitting what was once called "Starship Pain," Mundo assumed the title was his, but instead Puma managed to dig deep and kick out, much to the surprise of the former ECW Champion. Following a series of missteps on Johnny's behalf, Puma took to the sky and delivered the insanely innovative 630 splash. Prince Puma then covered an unconscious Johnny Mundo for the one, the two, and finally the three to become the first ever World Champion in Lucha Underground history.

What a night of nonstop luchador competition designed to speed your heart-rate and suspend your disbelief. The common consensus among industry insiders, is that Lucha Underground is currently poised to unseat TNA and ROH to become the number two most visible promotion in the country. I don't know if we can consider LU a promotion as of yet considering they're basically just a seasonal television series. I've been harping on the title picture for weeks and I'm happy to have Prince Puma as our inaugural champion. I recently released my "Top Fourteen Wrestler of 2014" and named Prince Puma AKA Ricochet the number five wrestler of the year. Now that we've got the strap situated, perhaps it's time for the powers-that-be to consider taking this show on the road? Maybe touring around Southern California the way NXT does in Florida. It's just a thought, and after a night such as this I'm completely comfortable without making any more suggestions. Thank you for joining me for another edition of "Viva La Lucha Libre."
