00:00This, my friend, is a temple for combat.
00:04This man captured the AAA Heavyweight Championship.
00:09Tonight, the revolution begins.
00:12El Patron, baby.
00:13The party interrupted by a Dallas Tejano,
00:16Alberto Patron's biggest nightmare.
00:18Me pertenece, Alberto.
00:21Keep this between us.
00:24Chavo Guerrero denied Mil Muertes
00:27the prize of the Legend Blue Demon.
00:29The power of a thousand lives is valuable.
00:33Disqualification.
00:37And it is that power that was too much for you.
00:41Defiance.
00:42That is Phoenix, who owns a victory
00:44over the previously undefeated Mil Muertes.
00:47Oh, and lick of death in the mouth.
00:49I want to make sure that you really are the rabid dogs
00:52that will destroy anybody that gets in my way.
00:55Hurt them so bad that they never come back.
01:00Oh, boy, that's Big Rick.
01:03This is the first time we've seen Big Rick
01:05since the burning paper.
01:06Hang on.
01:07Yeah, she gets the victory.
01:09They'd rather take the loss than deal with Big Rick.
01:25♪♪
01:34♪♪
01:43Tonight is a historic night.
01:46Tonight is Alberto Patron's first match
01:49in Lucha Underground,
01:50but most importantly,
01:51his first match in my sacred temple.
01:55Against who?
01:56Well, I was thinking Alberto Patron
02:00versus Ricky Mandel.
02:02Oh.
02:04I want Tejano.
02:07Yeah, and you will get it eventually,
02:09but you need some warming up.
02:10How about Alberto Patron tonight
02:15versus Famous P?
02:19Tejano.
02:20Tejano.
02:24A match like that,
02:26maybe give me a week or two to promote.
02:31I got it.
02:32How about Alberto Patron
02:36versus El Hijo del Havoc?
02:39Oh.
02:41-♪♪
02:46Am I not being clear?
02:49Tonight, Alberto Patron
02:53versus Tejano.
02:58Come to think of it,
03:01it does sound like the making of a great main event.
03:05And like I said,
03:07tonight is a historic night.
03:11Thank you.
03:13-♪♪
03:22-♪♪
03:32A huge night.
03:33The place, Boyle Heights,
03:34Lucha Underground temple.
03:36With Max Draker, I am Vampiro,
03:38welcoming everybody once again
03:40and saying a big hello to the band.
03:42Amanda D-D-D-Dita.
03:45She is digging it, brother.
03:46Oh, yeah.
03:47She is hyped for our huge main event tonight.
03:50For the first time in a Lucha Underground ring,
03:52Alberto El Patron will be in action.
03:55And for the first time on U.S. soil,
03:58Alberto El Patron competes
04:00against his most bitter rival, Tejano.
04:03Alberto El Patron versus Tejano
04:06in just one of the hottest rivalries going right now.
04:09Lucha Underground, but another score
04:11may be settled tonight, right now.
04:13And this one, brother, has gotten personal.
04:18The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
04:21Making his way to the ring from beyond the grave...
04:27Mil Muertes!
04:33There you get a look at Mil Muertes,
04:35the man of a thousand deaths
04:37and notably absent, the lovely Katrina.
04:41Mil Muertes! Mil Muertes! Mil Muertes!
04:45I just feel violence walking down the stairs.
04:48An unforgiving presence about to get in the ring, man.
04:51Striker.
04:52Mil Muertes, arguably the most powerful luchador
04:56here in Lucha Underground.
04:58A very different style.
04:59Smash him out, if you will.
05:01Definitely a different style.
05:02It's called beat him till he can't get up anymore.
05:05Deal with the fist on the seal.
05:07That's something we've come to know
05:09and expect from Mil Muertes.
05:10Perhaps some divine supernatural power.
05:13And his opponent, from Mexico City, Mexico, Phoenix!
05:20Well, the last time Mil Muertes
05:22laid cold, dark eyes of hate on this man,
05:25Phoenix was kissing Katrina.
05:27Any jealous mind out there knows the fuel,
05:30the rage that must be going through Mil Muertes.
05:33I would not want to be Phoenix.
05:35That is a bold statement.
05:36That's a big step in about the wrong direction, man.
05:41These two becoming very familiar with each other.
05:43Each of them own a victory over the other.
05:46So this, of course, the proverbial rubber match.
05:49Let's hang on a second.
05:51Oh! Here we go!
05:53Let the match begin this way!
05:54Rick Knox rings the bell. We're underway!
05:57Damn!
05:59Phoenix was baiting Mil Muertes.
06:01Phoenix understands that in order to defeat Mil tonight
06:04or enjoy any modicum of success,
06:06it has to be at Phoenix's pace.
06:08Well, the pace just got slowed down a hell of a bit.
06:12Phoenix uses the fire driver,
06:15whereas Mil Muertes uses the flat liner.
06:18We'll have to see how this comes into play.
06:20Phoenix's agility and luchoness coming into play.
06:23Man, they're getting schooled left, right, and center,
06:26and they're not even in the ring yet.
06:27They might as well take the ring out of the way
06:29so they can use the building.
06:31Mil Muertes flat on his back.
06:33Phoenix now senses the opportunity.
06:35Huge leg drop from the top.
06:37Referee is down. No!
06:39Phoenix fell from the sky from about 15 feet.
06:41Man, that's got to take its toll on both of them.
06:44This, of course, the match between the man that never says die
06:48versus the man of 1,000 deaths,
06:49and the common denominator here is mortality.
06:52But I'm almost feeling a little bit of arrogance
06:54on Phoenix's part, almost confidence.
06:56If I had a kiss of death like that from a venomous chick,
06:59I'd be pretty confident, too.
07:00Wow!
07:01Last time, Phoenix struggled to earn a victory against Mil,
07:04but pulled it out, and now Mil's frustration.
07:07That's hatred, ain't it? Frustration, dude.
07:10You go kiss this girl and see what happens.
07:17Wow. That's put in there snug.
07:20Oh, my God.
07:22Of course, Phoenix came in at number one at Aztec Warfare.
07:26Mil Muertes came in at number 20.
07:29Phoenix was very valiant in his efforts.
07:31Mil, though, failed to capture the Lucha Underground Championship.
07:35That can't sit well with Mil Muertes.
07:37Definitely not, but let me tell you something, man.
07:39Let's not forget that Phoenix is the only man alive
07:42to have a one-on-one victory against his monster, Mil Muertes.
07:49Mil's power on display here.
07:51Fireman's carry.
07:52Oh!
07:53Oh, boy!
07:57Cover. Two.
07:58No.
07:59Last Lucha.
08:00Can I be honest with you?
08:01Please do.
08:02I don't think...
08:03No one else is in this business.
08:04I don't think...
08:05The fans are going nuts for Phoenix.
08:07I think Mil wants to make a statement and kill, not beat,
08:12kill Phoenix.
08:13The rear chin locked now, the fingers clasped,
08:16pulling on Phoenix's neck.
08:17Phoenix needs to get to a vertical base
08:19to alleviate the pressure on the neck.
08:24Matt, this is classic.
08:26Two dudes fighting it out.
08:28Tooth and nail.
08:30And there is the missing piece.
08:32Katrina at the top of the steps here at the temple.
08:36I was just about to say,
08:37these guys are fighting it out over nobody,
08:40but here she is.
08:41Troublemaker.
08:42And Katrina carries down that stone,
08:45which we've learned is from the rubble
08:47from which Mil once emerged.
08:50She is as evil as she is hot.
08:53Look at her.
08:54She's just the devil in disguise.
08:57What was it Hemingway said?
08:59Elvis said that.
09:01Back to the action now.
09:02Mil Muertes has Phoenix up.
09:04Bang.
09:05Big right hand from Mil.
09:06Mil notices Katrina's presence as well.
09:15I'm sorry, man.
09:16I'm confused here because
09:17I don't know who she's here to support.
09:19I mean, it should be Phoenix,
09:20but she's got this long, long history with Mil Muertes.
09:23I mean...
09:24Oh, nice.
09:25Sooner or later, because of her,
09:26somebody's going to make a mistake,
09:28and it could be over.
09:29We're talking about the sultry siren Katrina.
09:31But back to the action now.
09:32Mil Muertes on the floor.
09:33Phoenix in the mask, the blue mask.
09:38Phoenix!
09:41The bird of war will fly here in the temple.
09:45And let's just confirm another thing.
09:47As soon as Phoenix starts to hear the applause of the crowd
09:50and the fans get behind him,
09:51he starts to come to life more and more, man.
09:53He turns it up.
09:54Well, it's the human element that Phoenix has
09:56that Mil seems to be void of.
10:03I don't think Phoenix needs her, but, man,
10:05I wish she would wake up out of this spell she's casting.
10:08Ooh!
10:11Ooh.
10:12Many people feel that Mil's
10:14failure to win the Lucha Underground title
10:16may have turned Katrina's eyes away from Mil Muertes.
10:19That went right there with a little bit of payback
10:22for kissing my girl on TV.
10:23Did you see him rattle his head off the ring
10:25like a basketball?
10:28Mil on the move. Phoenix back in.
10:30Oh!
10:31Catches him with a cutter.
10:32Wow.
10:33Is this enough to know?
10:36Ooh.
10:37You know, Phoenix knows how to beat Mil Muertes.
10:40Phoenix understands what it takes
10:42to pin a man with such stature that Mil has.
10:48Aah!
10:54That's a hell of a call on your part.
10:56You know what I mean?
10:57Not many people can say they walked away, you know,
11:00with a victory,
11:01let alone with their life, from this guy, Mil Muertes.
11:04Each week, new contenders are born here in Lucha Underground.
11:09Oh, God!
11:10Jesus!
11:11Oh-ho-ho-ho!
11:13Matt!
11:14And then...
11:15I think that Phoenix has been grounded.
11:18Here lies Phoenix.
11:20Oh, ow!
11:22What was that?
11:23Still not enough, though.
11:24Mil could have easily went for the cover
11:26and perhaps the win there.
11:27Wow.
11:28But the guzzle brings Phoenix back up to his feet now.
11:30Mil finds Katrina.
11:31They lock eyes.
11:32Brother, when you guzzle somebody like that,
11:34you know it means one thing, brother.
11:36Oh!
11:37Hatred.
11:38Flat liner.
11:39Mil's signature maneuver.
11:41Mil Muertes is victorious.
11:43Is he doing that for Katrina, or what's going on?
11:46Mil Muertes!
11:48And all the while, Mil and Katrina
11:51have not broken their gaze.
11:54Uh-oh.
11:55Katrina's loyalty seems to be towards success,
11:57and now Mil summoning.
11:59Was this the plan all along, Matt?
12:04Wow.
12:06Man, I don't know what's going on here.
12:12She's got that rock, dude.
12:14That's customary after a Mil Muertes victory,
12:17the hashtag lick of death.
12:19Whoa!
12:20And Katrina is denying Mil's request.
12:23Whoa!
12:24She's...
12:25Not good, not good.
12:27No, no, no!
12:29Whoa!
12:30Whoa!
12:34Oh, my God.
12:38Now Phoenix seems to hold the power with the stone.
12:42Boom!
12:46Oh!
12:49And Phoenix best be leery of affairs of the heart,
12:53because they will distract you from your goal,
12:56but a chivalrous Phoenix comes to Katrina's aid.
13:00Cancel! Cancel! Cancel! Cancel!
13:03Mil just got whacked by the stone.
13:06The stone from the rubble from which Mil has once emerged
13:09now may be the ashes...
13:10No, no.
13:11...from which Phoenix flies.
13:13Mil is... Ouch!
13:15What is she doing?
13:17Uh-oh.
13:18No, no, no.
13:19Whoa!
13:28Oh!
13:33No Lazarus Pit can save Mil Muertes now.
13:39I think that Phoenix is just signing a song to the devil, man.
13:43Phoenix is at the crossroads right now.
13:46Just like... Oh!
13:49That is... could be the kiss of death.
13:54A unique lick of death from Katrina onto Mil Muertes,
13:58and then a kiss that may seal Phoenix's fate.
14:05Katrina stands over a fallen Mil Muertes.
14:09Phoenix ascends the temple stairs.
14:11What's next for these two luchadores?
14:13We'll find out in the coming weeks.
14:15But tonight, Sexy Star faces off against Big Rick
14:19in a match that Dario Cueto has promised the winner
14:22an opportunity to face the crew.
14:24Vamp, this is a huge mismatch.
14:26Does Sexy Star stand any chance?
14:29We'll all find out together tonight on Lucha Underground.
14:33And in the main event,
14:34in what could be the most anticipated match
14:36in Lucha Underground history,
14:38this war started in Mexico
14:39and then crossed the border into the United States
14:42and into the temple.
14:43And tonight, the AAA mega champion,
14:45Alberto El Patron, takes his rival,
14:47the former AAA champion, Tejano.
14:49This one is personal!
14:51AVAILABLE NOW
15:21Pull down and get him, Rick!
15:52LUCHA UNDERGROUND
16:00I should be number one contender.
16:02I beat Angelico two weeks ago.
16:05I am the baddest bitch in this...
16:07I know, I know, I've got your text, email, voice.
16:10But the thing is, no offense to Angelico,
16:13but one victory over him
16:14does not make you a number one contender for anything.
16:18You only won because Son of Havok got involved.
16:23So, if you really want to prove to me
16:26that you're a worthy competitor in my temple,
16:29next week, you will have a rematch with Angelico.
16:33And to make sure that there's no outside interference
16:37from Son of Havok,
16:38I'm gonna put him inside the ring...
16:42as a guest referee.
16:44Havok, I hope you can control yourself.
16:47I hope you can control your woman inside the ring
16:49as well as she controls you out of it.
16:53Let's go.
16:54Move!
17:05The door!
17:17Move!
17:22That's right, brother. That's right.
17:27I don't know what Conan told you to motivate you,
17:30but what I do know
17:32is that if you want to survive,
17:35you're gonna need to man up.
17:39Because next time you see Cage,
17:41you have to make sure you let all that aggression
17:45out, amigo,
17:46because you... you are going to need it.
17:49Y una cosa más,
17:50if I were you,
17:52I would pay close attention to my mastermind.
17:55Because...
17:58if you keep that title...
18:04you know I'm coming for it after.
18:17SON OF HAVOK
18:33The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
18:36And the winner earns a future three-on-one match
18:40against The Crew.
18:42Currently in the ring,
18:44from the City of Angels,
18:47Big Rick.
18:51You can see Big Rick wearing the eye patch,
18:53and that is the dirty work of The Crew.
18:55They singed Rick's right eye with a lit cigar.
18:59Revenge on the mind of Big Rick.
19:01And his opponent,
19:03from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico,
19:06she is Sexy Star.
19:11Folks, we can beat you over the head
19:13with all the women's lib and equality stuff,
19:15or you can just watch the wrestling
19:17and see for yourself.
19:18Sexy Star has revolutionized the genre
19:21and the industry.
19:24She came here to make a statement.
19:26Since day one, man,
19:27she has wanted to say,
19:28I want to be a hero for all the women worldwide.
19:31And Sexy wants revenge against The Crew
19:33for their actions against Masquerita Sagrada
19:36and Pimpanela.
19:37Now, Pippi has Snapchatted me,
19:38told me that he's doing okay,
19:39but Sexy has revenge on her mind as well.
19:42You know what's crazy?
19:43You and Pippi are Snapchatting.
19:45I didn't know you spoke Spanish.
19:47Well, the pictures disappear after a while.
19:49There you go.
19:51She has won the hearts of fans worldwide.
19:53She has stepped up to bat.
19:55She's in home runs every time, man.
19:57Looks good in that combat gear, too.
20:00This is her biggest challenge, Matt,
20:02in more ways than one.
20:03The size of Big Rick.
20:04I don't know, man.
20:05She looks like a...
20:06I don't know, an appetizer.
20:07She's so sexy!
20:09Sexy! Sexy! Sexy!
20:13Sexy! Sexy! Sexy!
20:16Big Rick is saying to her,
20:18What?
20:19Just lay down, baby.
20:21Ooh.
20:23And the fact that both of these luchadoras and luchadoras
20:26want The Crew so badly,
20:28it's a testament to The Crew's viciousness.
20:31Big Rick is just saying,
20:33Come on, man.
20:34Oh, there she goes.
20:36And, Vamp, the ocular assault
20:38has rendered Big Rick with a covered right eye.
20:41A lot of lucha libre moves come from the right side.
20:44Cannot benefit Sexy at all in this match.
20:46Dude, she's fighting a goliath, man.
20:49Come on.
20:50Lookit, she can't even move him.
20:52Aah!
20:56Oh!
20:59Uh-oh.
21:01Sexy Star has more heart than anyone in the locker room.
21:04But how far is that gonna take her?
21:08Aah!
21:10Whoa!
21:12Oh, my God.
21:14Talking about throwing him in the trash.
21:16Revenge means more than chivalry,
21:18but you can tell by Rick's face,
21:20he's saying to Lefty Borden,
21:21Count her out.
21:22Let this thing end.
21:23Oh, wow.
21:26Did you hear that?
21:28What would you do?
21:29I'd stay out.
21:30I wouldn't get back.
21:31Why don't you get back in?
21:32I mean, Rick doesn't want to hurt Sexy,
21:34telling Sexy to stay out,
21:35but the believers are willing Sexy.
21:37Sexy understands that redemption is on the line here.
21:40What's she gonna do?
21:42She came here to make a statement.
21:44Since day one, man,
21:45she has wanted to say,
21:46I want to be a hero for all the women worldwide.
21:51Oh!
21:57And now Big Rick has a hold of Sexy Star.
22:00Uh-oh.
22:01Oh!
22:02No, no, don't do it, Rick.
22:03We've seen this.
22:04The urinagi.
22:05Uh-oh.
22:06Wow.
22:07And Rick places Sexy down,
22:08holds her shoulders down.
22:10You know what?
22:11I got to give credit to Rick there.
22:13I agree with you 100%.
22:14He could have destroyed...
22:15Uh-oh.
22:16Hang on.
22:17This is what the match was all about.
22:19Big Rick down the line,
22:20gets a three-on-one match.
22:22It doesn't happen tonight,
22:23but Rick looks like he's ready to fight.
22:25What's up behind?
22:26Oh!
22:27Cortez, Mr. Sisko, and Bale
22:29collectively known as The Crew,
22:31the men that burned Big Rick's eye
22:33and got Sexy's arm getting into a fight.
22:36Oh!
22:37Oh, brother, she got kneed right in the face.
22:44Let's not forget,
22:45The Crew took out her friends,
22:47and she wants revenge.
22:48Pimpy and Masquerita,
22:49they're not here tonight because of that,
22:51but she is...
22:52Oh, man.
22:53In the past couple weeks,
22:54The Crew have been associated or aligned
22:57somewhat with Dario Cueto.
22:59You have to believe the boss watching
23:01with a sick smile on his face.
23:03Brother, here it comes.
23:04Watch out, watch out.
23:05Sexy entering the psycho realm!
23:11They are back on the attack on Rick.
23:14Again, not to beat Dead Horse.
23:16Bro, they called it.
23:17Did you hear that?
23:18The eye patches,
23:19because of what these men did with a cigar,
23:21now it looks like Cortez Castro
23:23is gonna stick the stink into the eye.
23:26Rick realizes what was about to happen.
23:29Rick has exploded!
23:31Boom!
23:32Damn!
23:33It's about time someone lit a fire under Big Rick.
23:37Oh, my God.
23:39In the belly of the beast,
23:41the monster has woken.
23:42Oh, he's pissed.
23:43We've mentioned Exodus before,
23:45an eye for an eye.
23:46Big Rick now about to take Mr. Sisko to church.
23:50No.
23:51Oh, my God, dude.
23:53Ooh!
23:55Big Rick got what he wanted.
23:58Big Rick will get a three-on-one match with the crew,
24:02and you can only imagine what the fallout may be.
24:13The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
24:18Introducing first, from San Luis Potosi,
24:22he is the AAA Mega Champion,
24:26Alberto El Patron!
24:32Here comes an international superstar
24:34that has held almost every major championship
24:37in North America,
24:38but it's the lucha underground title
24:40that means so much.
24:42It bridges cultures.
24:43It does what Napster could not do.
24:45Alberto El Patron is here in the temple.
24:50Alberto El Patron wearing the prestigious
24:53AAA Mega Campeón,
24:55the Mega Championship title
24:56that Alberto defeated Tejano for several months ago.
25:01This has to feel good for the man himself,
25:04Alberto El Patron!
25:07Tell her that luck just sees it, baby.
25:10Check, baby.
25:13And there is the man that has set the temple ablaze,
25:17Alberto El Patron.
25:18For those of you that don't know,
25:20let's find out more about the AAA Mega Champion.
25:27My name is Alberto...
25:30El Patron.
25:32But of course, you already knew that.
25:34Lucha libre is something I was born into.
25:39It was my birthright.
25:41My father was a famous luchador, Dos Caras.
25:45He was an icon.
25:46He was a man that millions idolized,
25:50but no one more than me.
25:53I wanted to honor him,
25:55so I took his famous mask,
25:57and I became Dos Caras Jr.
26:00The mask brought me global success,
26:03but there was one place that I have yet to conquer.
26:08In America, I had the chance to create a new legend
26:14by redefining myself.
26:19And I became a household name,
26:21a hero to millions.
26:23But as one hand patted me on the back,
26:25the other one slapped me in the face.
26:28And after years of success,
26:31they disrespected me,
26:33so I had to leave.
26:38I returned home,
26:40because one dream still eluded me.
26:45Alberto...
26:46El Patron!
26:48And on December 7, 2014,
26:50that dream was realized.
26:54As I became the first luchador ever
26:57to hold every major title in North America
27:01by defeating Tejano for the Mega Campeonato in AAA.
27:08So you ask me, why come to Lucha Underground?
27:12Because I want to conquer America,
27:15but in my own terms.
27:17There are few moments left in our industry
27:21that send shivers up your spine.
27:23This is one of them!
27:25Alberto El Patron!
27:28And what are my terms?
27:30It's to dominate in the ring.
27:33Now our first taste of El Patron
27:36Lucha Underground!
27:37I've been a star in my home country, Mexico.
27:39I've been a star here in United States.
27:43And I have come to Lucha Underground
27:45not just to be a star.
27:48I have come here to be what I am.
27:53The best luchador...
27:58on the planet.
28:01And I dare anyone...
28:05anyone to try to hold that...
28:08Alberto...
28:11El Patron.
28:13But of course you already knew that.
28:25That man, Alberto El Patron,
28:27for the first time ever,
28:29will compete in a Lucha Underground ring
28:31and his greatest rival, Tejano, is not far behind.
28:36And his opponent,
28:38from Mexicali, Baja California,
28:42Tejano!
28:46Bam, everyone is asking me about Tejano.
28:49This is the little bit that I know.
28:51The youngest ever AAA champion.
28:54The longest reigning AAA champion.
28:56Alberto El Patron shows up
28:59and takes the title away from Tejano.
29:01Tejano feels that Alberto needed to earn the title shot.
29:04But fans across the world
29:06believe that Alberto is in the right place
29:08at the right time
29:09and thus Alberto is the AAA champion.
29:11I think that Tejano has earned it.
29:13Tejano fought his way through the ranks
29:15in Mexico and in New Japan,
29:17all over the world.
29:18I agree 100% with Tejano.
29:20Ladies and gentlemen,
29:21this is what you tuned in for.
29:24This is Lucha Underground.
29:26We'll be right back.
29:32Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
29:34This is our main event.
29:37History in the making here.
29:39This is the first time in American soil.
29:42Yes.
29:43When Alberto showed up to a hero's welcome
29:46here in the temple,
29:47it was Tejano that spoiled the party,
29:50attacking Alberto El Patron.
29:52There are no borders that can contain this animosity.
29:56Let me tell you something else.
29:58Tejano's father grew up wrestling
30:00with Dos Canes, Alberto's father.
30:03So this goes back from what you can imagine
30:05when there were kids in the dressing room
30:07eyeing each other up,
30:08knowing one day that they would be in this position.
30:12It's a great point.
30:13You never know who you share a locker room with.
30:16You see the same people going up the ladder
30:18that you do going down.
30:20Standing side headlock now.
30:22He's got it in tight.
30:23Yep, Tejano negating Alberto's size and height advantage.
30:26Alberto now looking to create some space,
30:28sends Tejano off the ropes.
30:29There's Tejano's size.
30:32Size, experience.
30:36Down leapfrog from El Patron.
30:38Hip toss.
30:41Whoa.
30:44He's hot.
30:46Only in Lucha Underground
30:47are you going to see wrestling of this quality.
30:50You know, Alberto has said for so many years
30:52he was confined,
30:53and you cannot confine a true man.
30:55Now Alberto is free to do what he will,
30:58although Tejano stands in the way.
31:00Well, he was confined.
31:01He tried to run in the front door,
31:02and he was met by a boot to the face.
31:11But I am feeling Tejano calm, collected,
31:15in control of his emotions.
31:17Yeah, this is a different kind of style
31:19than we're used to seeing.
31:20We will not see a lot of the high flying
31:22and the big dives over the top rope.
31:24This is going to be a fight.
31:26Big suplex, yes.
31:27Of course it's going to be a fight, dude.
31:29This is personal.
31:39Tejano enjoying the success,
31:42the money that comes with being champion.
31:45Now that belongs to Alberto El Patron.
31:48Damn.
31:50The Lucha roots go deep.
31:54Uh-oh.
31:56No loss, perhaps.
31:58Wow.
31:59That was not nice.
32:00Hang on.
32:01Count along at home.
32:20Definitely a different pace, Matt.
32:22We were caught up in the action,
32:23like two fans watching heavyweights
32:25knocking down the walls.
32:26Alberto's a little bit cocky here,
32:28pie-facing him.
32:29I don't know if I'd be doing that.
32:30Tejano might fire up anytime
32:31and kick him right back in the chops.
32:33Sometimes the natural sounds tell a better story.
32:36Tejano on the move.
32:38Whoa!
32:39That's a lot of weight to fall from that height.
32:41Alberto now.
32:42I guess the Lucha underground has influenced these men.
32:46Man, that looks just like his father
32:48and his famous uncle, Mil Mascaras.
32:50One of my greatest matches with Alberto El Patron
32:52when he was Dos Calas Jr.
32:53One night, he rocked me and knocked me out with that move.
32:56And the believers on their feet here in the temple.
32:59And while Alberto is known by many names,
33:02can you enlighten me as to the significance
33:04of the name El Patron?
33:05El Patron, that's like the boss of bosses, dude.
33:07That's putting it in someone's face,
33:09you know what I mean?
33:10That's almost like the godfather, almost.
33:12You know what I'm saying?
33:13Oh, DDT on the floor.
33:15And El Patron just got schooled.
33:17You know what that means, right, Matt?
33:18Yes, Tejano rolling in to break the count.
33:21And the smile on Tejano's face tells a great story.
33:24Yeah, this kid, he likes to take it to distance.
33:26He's been in wars.
33:27Don't forget, I've said it three times.
33:29I'm going to say it four.
33:30He is the longest, youngest heavyweight champion
33:35in the history of AAA.
33:37That's something to say.
33:38And with all due respect to everything
33:39that's happened in AAA, moving forward,
33:41it matters what these two luchadors here
33:44do in Lucha underground.
33:47Definitely, that's so cool he's breaking the count.
33:49You know what that is?
33:50That's experience, dawg.
33:56Now Tejano cinches in the rear chin lock,
33:58trying to wear Alberto down.
34:00Alberto! Alberto!
34:03Alberto! Alberto!
34:05Tejano would like nothing more
34:07than to show American audiences
34:08what he can do and defeat Alberto Patron tonight.
34:11It's about pride.
34:13It's about machismo.
34:15Talk a little bit more about how important
34:17machismo is in the lucha culture.
34:19Dude, in any culture that you want to show
34:21that you got the bigger you-know-what
34:23than any of your opponents.
34:25I've said it before.
34:26These two grew up in the dressing rooms
34:27watching their fathers go at it.
34:29That's it.
34:30Cover here, close to the ropes.
34:31Marty Elias is down.
34:33Alberto Patron, a ring general,
34:35knowing exactly where he is at all times,
34:37gets his shoulders off the mat.
34:38So you don't think that Tejano wants to embarrass
34:40Alberto Patron in his debut tonight
34:43in Lucha underground?
34:44Marty! Marty! Marty!
34:51You don't think Tejano wants to put him in his place?
34:54A win here will vault either one of these luchadores
34:57into a very, very promising position.
35:00Now the arm bar.
35:02Smart here by Tejano?
35:03I don't know, man,
35:04because he's got that amateur background
35:06and he's real close to taking an ankle lock right now.
35:10But of course, as an egomaniac would,
35:13he's got a master of head punches.
35:17And you can just feel the momentum.
35:19You can feel the animosity here.
35:21Tejano is very comfortable with this style,
35:24brawling on the outside mat.
35:26Tejano seems to give us some insight into his strategy.
35:29It seems that the focus is going to be
35:31the left arm of Alberto El Patron.
35:34They could bust his arm like that.
35:36¡Órale!
35:39The fans are feeling it.
35:41Tejano's definitely leaving his fingerprints.
35:44And, you know, the pace of this match is very unnerving.
35:47It's nail-biting,
35:48because you're just waiting for that big, vicious moment.
35:51Could this be it right here?
35:54You know, we can't forget
35:55that there's over 500 pounds in the ring right now
35:58between these two luchadores as well.
36:01Uh-oh. Hang on now.
36:03Superplex looks to be coming here.
36:06Here we go.
36:07Can Alberto get Tejano over?
36:09No!
36:10The ring bounced.
36:11And now we talk about it week in and week out,
36:14how you can feel the ring tilt.
36:15You can feel the momentum start to shift.
36:18Does it shift into Alberto's favor?
36:21Well, definitely with the lucha underground faithful
36:25cheering Alberto.
36:27Uh-oh. We got a double count on me, man.
36:29That was a big bump.
36:31Sure you know the rules by now, but if you don't,
36:33both luchadores have to attend to get to their feet.
36:36Referee stops his count here,
36:37seeing that both guys will fight on.
36:44Wow. Huge paymakers.
36:48Ooh, the need of the gut cut Alberto off.
36:51Tejano on the move now.
36:52Alberto ducking.
36:53In clothesline.
36:55Alberto now building momentum.
36:56Fire in the hole.
36:58El Patron on the move now.
37:00Has Tejano all out of sorts there.
37:03That is so traditional.
37:05And lucha leaving it at spinning backbreaker.
37:08Wow.
37:09That is so hard to do when you're that big.
37:12That's a lot of weight to lift and spin like that, man.
37:15Pride and dignity on the line here.
37:17El Patron and Tejano only on lucha underground.
37:21Hang on.
37:22Stammer beautifully done.
37:24Ooh.
37:25Can Alberto float over for the cover?
37:27Is this enough?
37:29No.
37:30Man, that was devastating.
37:32But I'm telling you, man,
37:33after those wars in Mexico, those wars in Japan,
37:36those wars growing up in that household of his,
37:38that's not enough to beat Tejano.
37:40No way.
37:42A different look here for Alberto El Patron,
37:45perhaps trying to play mind games with Tejano.
37:48Alberto.
37:49Come on, man.
37:50Pick it up, brother.
37:51Pick it up.
37:52Smart.
37:53Very smart.
37:54Super kick.
37:55Boom.
37:56Spinebuster.
37:57Damn.
37:58Cover him, kid.
37:59Forget about the people.
38:00Tejano ducked the super kick into the spinebuster.
38:03Referee down.
38:04No.
38:05And you'll notice that a lot of Tejano's offense
38:07comes from a close proximity.
38:09Alberto seems to enjoy distance.
38:11You know what I'm digging?
38:12I'm digging that Tejano does not have any respect
38:15for Alberto El Patron.
38:16Bad, but hey, it is what it is.
38:19Now the believers start to rumble the stones
38:22here in the temple.
38:23Tejano has been in many, many, many wars.
38:26This is nothing new to him, Matt.
38:28He's not intimidated.
38:30That's right.
38:31Pounding him.
38:32Boom.
38:33Alberto, wise to be holding on to the second rope.
38:36You've watched wrestling at all in your life.
38:38You'll know that it doesn't bode well when a competitor
38:40is seated atop the turnbuckle there.
38:42Oh!
38:43Finally.
38:44Tejano is waking up.
38:45That's right.
38:46I kicked him in the head.
38:53Damn.
38:54You know what?
38:55Oh, this is awesome.
38:57Matt, this is a Tejano I know.
38:58Tejano doing a little redecorating there.
39:00No doubt, man.
39:01Don't do it.
39:02What are you doing?
39:03This is a Tejano I know.
39:06Let's go.
39:07He's got the bull rope here.
39:08Wise strategy.
39:09Referee is occupied, and now Tejano will go to work.
39:13Brother, that was an amazing strategy.
39:15That bull rope is like sandpaper.
39:18Oof.
39:22The ref didn't see it, therefore
39:24cannot disqualify Tejano.
39:44Hang on a second here.
39:48Perhaps the highlight of the match.
39:50Perhaps the turning point.
39:53Damn.
39:56You talk about building to something.
39:58You talk about heading in a direction.
40:00Right now, we are building to whomever is going to be
40:03the next top guy here in Lucha Underground,
40:06and it's all on the eyes of Prince Puma,
40:10our Lucha Underground champion.
40:12Now El Patron is pissed.
40:14He fired up, but I'm going to tell you something, man.
40:17He has gained a little bit of respect for Tejano.
40:20He has had to because he's got his ass kicked tonight.
40:22Alberto signifying for his signature submission hold.
40:27Can Alberto get this arm bar on El Patron?
40:31No!
40:32Tejano spins out.
40:33Kick, pick up, powerbomb.
40:36Sit out.
40:37Marty Elias down.
40:38Two.
40:39Oh!
40:40Whoa!
40:41Maybe Alberto Patron just a little bit too cocky
40:45too soon, brother.
40:46Tejano has Alberto's signature submission move well scouted.
40:50It's going to take more than that for Alberto
40:53to put Tejano away.
40:54Man, Alberto looked like he got knocked the F out.
41:00And now.
41:01Oh!
41:03Crazy.
41:05Brother, that was right on the elbow.
41:07There it is.
41:09No.
41:10Has Alberto done enough?
41:12No, no, no.
41:14Wow.
41:15Now it's starting to heat up.
41:16Now it's starting to heat up.
41:18You can tell these two have been in many wars.
41:21Tejano crawling for that bull rope.
41:24That sandpaper snake.
41:27He's feeding off the energy, no doubt about it.
41:29That helps any athlete in this position.
41:32Notice the ends are taped.
41:36Yeah, I'm digging this so much.
41:39Bang!
41:40Oh!
41:41Blocked by El Patron.
41:43Alberto now setting Tejano up.
41:46But it didn't work the second time.
41:48Alberto knew it was coming.
41:51Uh-oh.
41:55What's going on?
41:57You said all night that this is personal.
41:59It may not be about wins and losses.
42:01It may be about anger and hatred.
42:04Referees saw that.
42:06He's going to throw this match out.
42:08And rightly so.
42:16Boom!
42:20Uno mas, por favor.
42:23Dos mas.
42:25I've never seen Alberto this fired up.
42:27No one is safe now.
42:29There is anger and hatred in this man's eyes.
42:33If this goes to show the true colors of Alberto El Patron,
42:36the people's hero, I don't think so.
42:39Tejano stole Alberto's moment of glory
42:42when Alberto arrived here in the temple
42:44to a modicum of redemption for Alberto El Patron.
42:47But you can bet your ass
42:49this is not the last time we'll see these two fight it out
42:52here at Lucha Underground.
42:54Booyah, Matt Stryker!
42:57For Vampiro, I'm Matt Stryker
42:59from the temple here at Lucha Underground.
43:02This night belongs to Alberto El Patron.
43:07Johnny Mundo says that he's tired of you attacking him from behind.
43:11And he made quite the convincing argument.
43:13I couldn't say no.
43:16Trust me, El Cazador, from my experience,
43:19it's better to lock up someone inside of a cage.
43:22That way they can never get away.
43:27Johnny Mundo should be careful what he wishes for.
43:32Next week, I will defeat him in a cage match.
43:37And then...
43:39I will mount his head...
43:45on your wall.
44:02COMING SOON
