00:00My Trios tournament begins and I want you to be a part of it.
00:05Your next partner has been literally breaking his opponents in two.
00:09Busted his arm.
00:10This could be your big break.
00:14For the cover, does the Vamp have it?
00:16Yes!
00:17The team of Big Rick have moved on for the new Trios Tag Team Championship.
00:21Hang on.
00:22Pentagon is in the ring and he doesn't seem all too pleased.
00:24Yeah, Sexy Star saves Superfly but now it begs the question Vamp,
00:29can Sexy Star save herself?
00:33I know why I've been losing.
00:35I don't think losers.
00:36I think it's best if I handle your battles for you.
00:39You are holding me back.
00:42Nobody needs a peen in the ass in a life like that.
00:44You are dumped.
00:46Wow!
00:48Sexy Star has been dumped.
00:50Son of heaven!
00:52None of you have great singles careers,
00:54which is why you will be in a tournament match for the Trios titles.
01:00Hernandez.
01:01I used to run with this big dog back in the day with that LAX clique.
01:05And he's a killer, just like you.
01:07This is the main event for the Lucha Underground title.
01:10Cage poised.
01:11Calling out Hernandez.
01:12He's calling out Conan.
01:13He's calling out Boyle Heights.
01:15Oh, there it is!
01:17Lucha Underground title within reach.
01:20Oh!
01:21Three is the only number that matters, baby!
01:24Boomer!
01:29MUSIC
01:59I want these Trios titles to be a very important part of my temple.
02:02Almost as important as the title you're wearing, Prince Puma.
02:05Which is why I want my biggest stars vying for these belts.
02:11So, Puma, you must find two partners to join you.
02:17Because next week you will be facing a Trios team that I have personally assembled.
02:22Cuerto.
02:24Quit beating around the bush.
02:26Who's on this team you've assembled?
02:28Well, I can tell you that the man that Puma will be facing tonight in the main event is part of it.
02:36King Cuerto.
02:40And he has assured me that his other two team members will be joining him ringside tonight.
02:46So, you better find some partners before then.
02:51Let's go, man.
02:56Oh, and one more thing.
02:59The Lucha Underground Championship will be on the line tonight.
03:06Let's go, champ.
03:08MUSIC
03:27MUSIC
03:30Hey, everybody, we're at the coolest place to be in the planet.
03:33The temple in Boyle Heights.
03:35This is the Lucha Underground.
03:37I am Vampiro with my partner in crime, my brother, my good friend, Matt Stryker.
03:41And I would like to say thank you to Sergio Arua, rock star in Mexico, for schooling me here tonight.
03:46And everybody for riding with El Rey.
03:49That's right. Last week we saw Big Rick, Killshot and The Mack advance in the Trios Championship Tournament.
03:55They await two more teams, one of which will be decided, why not, right now.
04:00Insane and crazy.
04:03The following Lucha is scheduled for one fall and is a Trios Tag Team Championship Tournament match.
04:14Introducing first, the team of Son of Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico.
04:24Well, circumstances yield strange bedfellows, and that statement is personified with this trio.
04:32A love triangle, if you will.
04:34Son of Havoc and Ivelisse, estranged lovers, if you will, and Angelico somehow in the mix.
04:43Dude, don't forget the Son of Havoc, don't Ivelisse.
04:46And they hate each other, all three of them, Matt.
04:48But listen to the fans chanting for everybody.
04:51This is a mess that can only be described as part of the phenomenon that is Lucha Underground.
04:56That's right. Individually, all three of these luchadores and luchadoras have earned the respect of the believers here in the temple.
05:02How they will work together as a unit remains to be seen.
05:05And their opponents, the team of Drago, Aerostar and Phoenix.
05:17Oh, the trio of Havoc, Angelico and Ivelisse was perplexing.
05:22This one perhaps even more.
05:24There you see Drago, who is mired in a classic best of five series, tied at two matches apiece with Aerostar right behind him in the gold.
05:33And incorporate Phoenix, who's arguably the most unique high flyer in Lucha Underground.
05:38And now, maybe this trio is the favorite.
05:42The last time that we saw Phoenix, he put Mil Muertes in a casket.
05:47And you said that this is the eye-opening trio here, not only in Lucha Underground, but let me say, it's not the world, it is the universe.
05:55You are going to see some things tonight that are just going to leave you spellbound, dude.
05:59This is rock and roll at its finest.
06:01Referee Rick Knox holds his hand high. We wait for the bell.
06:05The winner of this match will advance into the finals for the trio's championship.
06:10It will be a three-way trio's elimination match.
06:14So, a lot on the line here.
06:18The trio style, very fast-paced.
06:20Phoenix and Angelico start.
06:22Oh, nice. Nice there.
06:24Here we go.
06:26This will be the striking ability of Angelico.
06:28The long legs against the speed of Phoenix.
06:33The leapfrog back roll.
06:36Phoenix waited and double-stopped.
06:38Oh, my God.
06:39Here we go. Cover quick.
06:40Shows you the urgency in this match.
06:42Phoenix right on top of his taller and longer opponent.
06:44Dude, that was so awesome.
06:47Phoenix now closes the distance.
06:49Looks where he is in the ring.
06:51Whip in.
06:52Ivelisse with the tag.
06:53Referee acknowledges.
06:54That was a weird tag.
06:56A little slap on the back of the neck.
06:58Ivelisse still feels she has a lot to prove.
07:00Dude, she slapped him on the back of the neck.
07:03Uh-oh.
07:05Whip reversal now.
07:06Phoenix sends Ivelisse into her own corner.
07:08Ivelisse using momentum.
07:10Phoenix's strength way too much there.
07:12Ivelisse down on her feet.
07:13Phoenix sees Angelico coming in and stops that.
07:15But turn around.
07:16And there's Ivelisse and...
07:20Oh, wow, brother.
07:22Talk about a field goal, man.
07:24Referee acknowledges that Angelico has made the tag.
07:27Angelico with an interesting tag back in now.
07:29Phoenix caught him with the thrust kick.
07:31Made the tag here.
07:34Reminiscence of Bill Superfoot Wallace, dude.
07:37He's a schoolin' it.
07:38I make antiquated references.
07:40Excuse me.
07:41Drago now with the springboard.
07:43Went for the tag.
07:45Drago was able to switch momentum.
07:47They are covered.
07:48Not enough.
07:49Dude, I got a smile on my face.
07:51I'm freaking out.
07:52I should be in the front row watching this
07:53and leave you by yourself, man.
07:54I'm a fan.
07:55Not a seat to be had here in the Temple, my friend.
07:58Thrust kick again.
08:00Oh, no, he just got clocked.
08:02Tag into Phoenix now.
08:03You'll notice that Drago hasn't tagged Aerostar.
08:05I wonder if that is any consequence.
08:07Oh, God.
08:08Dude, put your hands up, man.
08:10Here comes Aerostar now.
08:12That's using Phoenix.
08:14Drago brings Angelico out so he's in a better position.
08:17The elbow keeps Angelico down.
08:19Look at this.
08:20Look at this.
08:21Only here on Mucha Angelico.
08:24Oh, my God.
08:25Cover.
08:26Referee is down.
08:28No.
08:29Drago wants the accolade.
08:31The referee will not make the count
08:33because Drago's not legal.
08:34The animosity between these two,
08:36born of their best-of-five series,
08:38seems to be spilling over,
08:39and the series isn't done yet.
08:41But back to the action here and now.
08:43Man, Phoenix is kind of like trying to calm him down, dude.
08:46Aerostar on the move.
08:48It was a kick to the back by Ivelisse
08:50in the sure knee of Angelico,
08:52and now Havoc tags himself in.
08:54There doesn't seem to be any voluntary tags here
08:57with this team of Havoc, Angelico, and Ivelisse.
08:59Smack to the neck, smack to the face,
09:01and Phoenix is, like, caught in a roll of Peacemaker, dude.
09:05Son of Havoc becoming a cult hero
09:08after his victory a couple of weeks ago.
09:10Standing shooting start.
09:12Referee is down.
09:13Match rolls on.
09:14Have you felt like the crowd has been waiting
09:16all night long to scream,
09:18Son of Havoc exploded for him tonight, brother.
09:23That is a slap as well as a tag.
09:26Anytime you touch your partner,
09:28you come in.
09:29And Ivelisse almost picturing Havoc's face
09:32on Aerostar's body, perhaps.
09:34Oh, I mean, any jilted lover knows
09:36that, you know, there's always gonna be animosity and jealousy.
09:39Nice wheelbarrow, body scissors, Ivelisse into the DDT.
09:44Dude, she is...
09:46MMA trained.
09:47Referee's down.
09:48Ooh.
09:49She's got a three-piece set that's quite large.
09:51She is not backing down from anybody.
09:53That's what I'm referring to.
09:55Aerostar!
09:56Aerostar!
09:57Uh-oh.
09:58It looks like it hurt his ankle.
09:59And back and forth, Ivelisse and Son of Havoc arguing.
10:02Angelico realizes what's at stake and takes advantage.
10:05Tag in now.
10:06Angelico has Aerostar on the move now.
10:08Aerostar ducks the clothesline.
10:09Dude, you see this, the look of Tilted World.
10:11Anger on his face.
10:12Tilted World, Tilted World again.
10:13And Angelico is down.
10:18Oh, wow.
10:19Aerostar went to tag Phoenix, but Drago stole the tag.
10:22Drago in the move now.
10:25Back and forth this goes.
10:26Drago switching his hips.
10:28Into the DDT again.
10:33Drago tags in Phoenix.
10:36Oh, there they go.
10:37Brother, brother, brother.
10:38What's up, what's up?
10:39Drago, Phoenix with an assailant.
10:42Almost like an alley-oop.
10:44And it's become tradition here.
10:48Aerostar tags himself into the match.
10:51No.
10:52Aerostar has something to prove
10:54as Drago keeps Angelico in place.
10:56And it was Angelico moving out of the way
10:58and Drago suffered the brunt of the fall.
11:00That's not good.
11:01Back to the in-ring action.
11:03Ibelis and Phoenix now.
11:04I'm almost feeling like something bad's gonna happen
11:06because of the animosity that Ibelis had.
11:08That was an interesting move by Ibelis.
11:10That was the coolest bicycle kicker from behind I've ever seen.
11:16Ibelis on the move.
11:18And again, the theme of the night seems to be DDTs.
11:21People are getting their skull crushed in.
11:23And it shows the evolution of the Lucha doors
11:25because 30 years ago, the DDT would end a match.
11:28But not here, not now, not anymore.
11:30We're moving forward, folks.
11:32This is Lucha Underground.
11:36I'm telling you, man, the roof is coming off in this place.
11:40Ibelis doesn't take too kindly to Son of Havoc.
11:43Ibelis has a lot to prove.
11:46Ibelis on the move.
11:48And no.
11:49Phoenix steals Ibelis's Thunder.
11:53She is like, all right.
11:56MF'ers.
11:59Wow, look at that gaze, the fury.
12:03Oh, yeah.
12:06I feel bad for the next guy that dates Ibelis.
12:11Phoenix, who stole Ibelis's glory,
12:13and Ibelis baits Phoenix back into the ring.
12:15Referee's back was turned, so the match continues.
12:19Wait a minute, Ibelis using Phoenix's back
12:21for a little bit of an assistance here.
12:23And Ibelis showing she can hang as well
12:25here in the Underground.
12:30Phoenix is fired up, dude.
12:32Uh-oh.
12:36Man, I swear to God, brother,
12:38if that was a field goal,
12:39somebody else would have won the Super Bowl.
12:41Angelico hung out to dry,
12:43and Phoenix rope walk into Big Elbow.
12:48That was insane.
12:52If you're just joining us,
12:54one of these two teams will advance to the finals
12:57of the Trios Championship Tournament
12:59in a couple of weeks,
13:00which we can only speculate is gonna be
13:02probably some of the greatest wrestling
13:04that you will ever see in your life.
13:06The powerful team of Big Rick, The Mac,
13:08and Killshot are already in the finals,
13:10so the dynamic of the finals
13:12has yet to be defined.
13:13I agree with the fans, as I always do, Matt.
13:16This is awesome.
13:18Son of Havoc and Drago now,
13:19the illegal participants.
13:21Arrowstar interjecting himself.
13:23Now Arrowstar and Drago seem to be working together.
13:27Son of Havoc with a unique counter there.
13:29Wow.
13:34Oh, yeah.
13:35Dude, the fans are going nuts for this guy.
13:43Son of Havoc goes to make the tag,
13:45but Arrowstar and Drago keep Havoc where they want him.
13:49Havoc rolls through.
13:50No!
13:51He's off the apron.
13:53Yeah.
13:55Brother, that has been happening to me so many times
13:57when I get girls home, and I'm almost there,
13:59and they say, wait a second.
14:01Look at Drago and Arrowstar.
14:03Back to the in-ring action over the shoulder of Havoc.
14:05Remember what these two have been through
14:07over the course of the last few weeks.
14:09Now tempers begin to flare.
14:13Havoc rids himself of Arrowstar,
14:15moves out of the way.
14:16Drago now.
14:18As Ivelisse seems to be taking a walk,
14:20but Son of Havoc has an opportunity here
14:22perhaps to put his team into the finals
14:24if Havoc can hit this move.
14:26Oh!
14:27One, two, three.
14:30Wow.
14:31Here's your winners,
14:34Ivelisse,
14:37Angelico,
14:40and Son of Havoc!
14:44The unlikely trio of Son of Havoc, Ivelisse,
14:47and Angelico in Vans,
14:48but the look on Edie's face tells the story.
14:50Any scorned lover knows you hate to see your ex happy,
14:54and that's exactly what happened right there.
14:56Matt, that was so awesome.
14:58Did you see that buffet and big slaps
15:01that those guys were giving each other?
15:03Whether Ivelisse likes it or not,
15:06she needs to join her ex-boyfriend,
15:08Son of Havoc, and Angelico
15:10at least one more time as they advance to the finals.
15:14Ladies and gentlemen, the action is hot and heavy.
15:17Tonight, the hunter, King Cuerno,
15:19will get his first shot at Lucha Underground gold
15:22as he takes on the champion, Prince Puma,
15:24tonight in the main event.
15:26Last week's team of Pentagon Jr., Sexy Star,
15:29and Superfly lost their match,
15:31but it was what happened after the match
15:33that has people talking.
15:34Sexy Star rescued her partner, Superfly,
15:37from becoming another one of Pentagon's victims.
15:40But tonight, they aren't partners.
15:42They are opponents.
15:43Sexy Star vs. Superfly is next on Lucha Underground.
15:58Buenas noticias. I got good news, carnal.
16:01I found the perfect partner for your trio's team.
16:05Hernandez.
16:09With him, we're gonna be unstoppable.
16:11All we gotta do is find one more vato loco and we're set.
16:15Actually, Conan, Puma already found another vato.
16:20Me.
16:21Hey, Cuerno's a sneaky bastard.
16:24I got your back tonight.
16:27Are you kidding me?
16:29I already told you, you can't trust that gabacho.
16:33But don't trip.
16:34That vato gets out of line,
16:36Hernandez is gonna split his wig.
16:39And if he doesn't, I will.
16:43Keep training.
16:44Órale.
16:56Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
17:03The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
17:07Currently in the ring, from Puebla, Mexico,
17:11Superfly!
17:14There you see the man that narrowly escaped having his arm broken
17:18is here to fight again the very next week.
17:22And his opponent, from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico,
17:28Sexy Star!
17:32And if you missed last week, Sexy Star came to Superfly's aid
17:36and as no good deed goes unpunished here in the temple,
17:39our owner, Dario Cueto, has now put these two in a match
17:43against one another.
17:46So I guess the honor that Sexy showed last week
17:50perhaps goes out the window here.
17:52Remember, competition is paramount here.
17:55Every win puts you one step closer
17:57to the prestigious lucha underground title.
18:08Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
18:12Wait.
18:14I know Sexy Star and Superfly, they're friends.
18:18In fact, Sexy, you even saved Superfly
18:22from having his arm snapped by Pentagon Jr.
18:26That was an act of mercy.
18:28But tonight, I want you both to have no mercy with each other.
18:35And in order to guarantee that that happens,
18:39I'm gonna have to give you something to fight for.
18:42So I've decided, since this is lucha underground...
18:52This match is gonna be mask versus mask!
18:57Did Cueto just say mask versus mask?
19:01Van, for those that are unfamiliar,
19:03it's highly unusual and non-traditional
19:05to have a surprise mask versus mask match
19:08with no personal issue, right?
19:09Cueto doesn't care about lucha libre tradition.
19:11He only cares about conflict and violence,
19:13and you can only imagine what the fallout may be.
19:16For the first time ever in lucha underground,
19:19it's going to be mask versus mask.
19:22We'll be right back!
19:31Welcome back to lucha underground.
19:32Our owner, Dario Cueto, has just made this match
19:35mask versus mask,
19:36but this is not the typical path.
19:37This is outside of what traditional lucha rules.
19:40So, if you don't want to lose your mask,
19:45I suggest that you forget that you were ever friends.
19:52Ring the bell!
19:53Van, please, talk about the severity of this stipulation.
19:57Losing your mask is losing your honor, man.
20:00Dario is throwing centuries of tradition out the window.
20:03This would take months and years and decades
20:05to happen in Mexico.
20:06This is very bad luck, dude.
20:08Dario better be careful.
20:09He's playing a very, very dangerous game.
20:13Losing your identity,
20:14losing what you worked your entire life for,
20:17that's what's on the line right here.
20:19It's not only working all your life.
20:20It's defending your family's honor from way back when.
20:23We're talking the early 19th century
20:25when lucha libre started in Mexico.
20:28There you see the standing side headlock.
20:30Now, this match, the pace shows you
20:34how important what is at stake
20:36really is to both these luchadores.
20:38They understand the magnitude.
20:40No doubt about it.
20:41Sexy Star's mask, in fact, saved her from suicide.
20:45So she said.
20:48Contract there.
20:49Create some space now.
20:50Superfly with the leg trip.
20:52Push off there by Sexy.
20:53Sexy went for the leg sweep as well.
20:55Superfly throws her off.
20:56Stand off.
21:03Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
21:07Whoa!
21:08That wasn't cool, man.
21:10I think this just goes to show you
21:11that Superfly may be willing to do anything
21:15in order to not lose his mask.
21:17One mistake can lead to an end of a career here.
21:21And then you see the viciousness,
21:23the brutality of Superfly.
21:25Gender out the window now.
21:26It's about my mask, and it's about my livelihood.
21:29Seeing those mafia kicks,
21:30Superfly has definitely forgotten about that friendship.
21:33He does not care that it's Sexy Star.
21:35He does not want to lose that mask, period, Matt.
21:38Let's not lose sight of the ways you can lose a match.
21:40Obviously, pinfall, submission,
21:41but disqualification, count out, referee stoppage,
21:44all those things now have a much more heightened sense,
21:47so to speak.
21:48Whoa!
21:49Matrix there by Sexy.
21:50Crazy.
21:51Sexy now with a thrust kick.
21:52On the move is Sexy Star.
21:53Sexy Star.
21:54Oh!
21:55Wow.
21:56Brother, he banged his face,
21:57but he almost got that mask torn right off there.
21:59Sexy Star!
22:00Sexy Star!
22:01Sexy Star!
22:02Sexy Star!
22:03Sexy Star!
22:04Sexy Star!
22:05Kicks Superfly up, and now using the mask,
22:07and then here is an advantage.
22:09Nice little snap there.
22:10I'm not sure who to favor in this matchup.
22:12Sexy Star, yeah, she is a fighter,
22:14but so is Superfly.
22:15There may be a winner tonight,
22:17but this is all about the loser
22:18and what it does to their career and to their life.
22:21Back and forth, these two go now.
22:23Oh!
22:24Ooh!
22:25Wow.
22:26That might not be a good thing, brother.
22:28You know, she had a hard upbringing,
22:30and she's taken beatings in her life,
22:31and she's certainly lit the fire in her heart,
22:34and she's came back.
22:35You smack her like that,
22:36that's nothing but bad news for you later on.
22:39I mean, Dario Cueto's getting what he wants here.
22:41Oh, yeah!
22:42How do you get two masked luchadores
22:44who are friends to fight
22:45making for their masks?
22:46Brilliant.
22:47I just love it.
22:49Ooh.
22:50Ooh!
22:51Ooh!
22:52Ooh!
22:53Ooh!
22:54Ooh!
22:55Ooh!
22:56Ooh!
22:58Superfly taking the walk.
22:59Sexy may take advantage of that opportunity there.
23:01Beautifully done.
23:02Wow.
23:05Space created.
23:06This usually benefits Sexy Star.
23:08Juan Andres onto the apron now.
23:10Sexy lands on her feet,
23:12shoulder into the gut creates the space
23:13that we talk about so much here at Lucha Underground.
23:15Sexy Star.
23:16Beautifully done.
23:17Nice arm drag there.
23:18Superfly rolls out of the ring,
23:19but as we've come to know,
23:20you're not safe there as well.
23:22Sexy is doing classic moves, brother.
23:24She is schooling it.
23:26This is the encyclopedia of Newfoundland.
23:28Oh!
23:29Remember, count-outs are in effect here as our referee starts his count.
23:37You know what's so cool about this?
23:39The fans are applauding the valiant effort.
23:43Effort, I'm sorry.
23:44They're not applauding the wrestler.
23:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
23:46I mean, this is a warrior's battle.
23:48Don't doubt about it.
23:50Referee's count continues.
23:51The referee understands what's at stake here,
23:53so perhaps it'll be a little lenient with the count
23:56as these two luchadores and luchadoras fight on the outside.
23:59It can't be a count-out, bro.
24:02That'd be the weakest weight in the world to lose your mask on a count-out.
24:05Sexy again with that codebreaker.
24:07I would say...
24:09Cover.
24:10No.
24:11Jawbreaker, dude.
24:12Oh, she's pissed now.
24:14Sexy with the primal scream.
24:16That's it, Sexy.
24:18She is in shape, no doubt about it.
24:20She came prepared, don't you think?
24:22It was Dario that said that you have to forget your friendship
24:25and show us no mercy,
24:27and that seems to be what's being shown here.
24:29That's DMF, brother.
24:32Strength, determination, merciless forever.
24:35It's from the book of Vampiro, by the way.
24:38Back elbow, sends Sexy Star down.
24:40Leg drop by Superfly.
24:42Wow.
24:44Notice that Fly doesn't go for a cover here, though, Vamp.
24:47Explain.
24:48Well, like I said, man,
24:49this is a lot more than just your normal lucha libre match, brother.
24:52This is taking somebody's mask.
24:54This is a life changer.
24:56If you're going to go that far to beat me, I'm going to hurt you.
24:59That's the kind of match this is.
25:01It's kind of like my marriage.
25:05Again, the theme of the night, the DDT.
25:09How bad is that a shock to the spine?
25:12And if my notes are correct,
25:13your Sexy has gone for two near falls in this match,
25:16and I don't think Superfly has gone for one,
25:17at least not in the past few minutes.
25:18Yeah, I don't know what's up with him, man.
25:20I think he...
25:21Perhaps Superfly knows the resiliency,
25:23the tenacity of Sexy Star,
25:24knows he really needs to beat that ass in order to win.
25:27Uh-oh.
25:28Back of the Sexy's head bounced off of the canvas,
25:30and now Superfly perhaps going for something big.
25:33If he doesn't go for it soon enough, he deserves to lose this match.
25:36Uh-oh, here we go, brother.
25:37From the moonsault.
25:39Like a Zeta, like a Zeta, like a Zeta.
25:40Is this enough?
25:41Whoa, like a Zeta.
25:43And your winner,
25:46Sexy Star!
25:50As much as it's our job to commentate,
25:52you can't help the human element to feel for Superfly,
25:55to feel for his family, for his kids watching at home
25:58that know that he must unmask now.
26:00No doubt about it, and I can tell,
26:02I almost feel like Sexy's crying on the inside, dude.
26:05She didn't want this, man.
26:07I'm sure she didn't want to take this kid's mask,
26:09and I'm sure she didn't want to lose hers.
26:13Brother, he made a big mistake,
26:14and when we come back from this break,
26:16we are going to see who is under the mask of Superfly.
26:19History is about to be made.
26:21Don't go away.
26:22Superfly will unmask.
26:23We'll be right back.
26:32Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Lucha Underground.
26:34If you're just joining us, our owner, Dario Cueto,
26:36made this match between Sexy Star and Superfly a mask-versus-mask match.
26:39Superfly lost the match, and now the honor.
26:42Vamp, walk us through what's happening here.
26:44This is something that comes from the soul, Matt.
26:47He is on his knees, and he is saying,
26:48you beat me, you're the warrior, this is yours, take it, please.
26:51She is saying no, but he is like a gentleman on his knees.
26:57Now, I'm sure a traditionalist will feel that Dario Cueto
27:00is insulting the legacy of Lucha Libre.
27:02Normally, there needs to be a storied rivalry,
27:05a long-tenured hatred between two luchadores
27:08to finally yield a mask-versus-mask match.
27:11It's absolutely huge in the lucha culture.
27:15The tradition in Lucha Libre, when you lose a mask-versus-mask match,
27:18your opponent takes the mask off, and look at Sexy's face.
27:21Even behind the mask, you can see the emotion.
27:23And ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever,
27:25we see the face of the man who was once known as Superfly.
27:30And look at the way she pulled him in.
27:31What a sign of respect.
27:33You have to give it to Superfly.
27:35He honored the stipulation.
27:37He lost the match, took his mask off.
27:39You have to believe that perhaps a whole new career
27:41lies ahead of Superfly,
27:43or perhaps his career has ended here at Lucha Underground.
27:47Either way, an ovation for the man that is Superfly.
27:51Tears in his eyes, rightly so.
27:53Enjoy the... Whoa!
27:55It's Pentagon!
27:56It's Pentagon Jr., who tried to break Superfly's arm last week.
28:00Oh!
28:02We've seen this, the package.
28:05Onto the unsheathed face of Superfly.
28:10This is crazy.
28:13As if the dishonor were not enough.
28:15Three up, three down.
28:18Sexy is beside herself.
28:22No!
28:25This is insanity.
28:27Matt, I can't believe what I just saw.
28:30Pentagon took it to another level.
28:32Sexy started giving something right out of Mexico City.
28:34One great kiss, and I swear to God in my life,
28:37I am gonna get you.
28:40All right, ladies and gentlemen,
28:42as our medics attempt to Superfly,
28:45we need to prepare for our huge championship match
28:48that is coming up next.
28:49We need to move forward.
28:51It'll be the challenger, King Cuerno,
28:53against the Lucha Underground champion, Prince Puma,
28:56and that match is next.
29:03Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
29:05It's been a wild night so far,
29:07and it only gets better.
29:09Melissa, take it away.
29:11The following lucha is scheduled for one fall
29:14and is for the Lucha Underground championship.
29:20Accompanied by Hernandez and Johnny Mundo,
29:26he is the Lucha Underground champion.
29:31Lucha Underground champion, Prince Puma.
29:44Well, we know that the trio team of Puma,
29:47Johnny, and Hernandez will be competing next week
29:50against Cuerno and his teammates, but who are they?
29:53Of course, you're referring to the trios championship tournament
29:56that is currently ongoing.
29:58This, of course, a one-on-one match.
30:00The champion, Prince Puma, mocking Cuerno.
30:03Cuerno wears an eight-point buckhead to the ring,
30:06and now Prince Puma seems to have a trophy of his own,
30:09and it looks like it may be a Puma, no?
30:11It certainly does.
30:13Almost like traditional warrior dress, dressed like a king.
30:16And he's got the fans going crazy.
30:19Puma representing his tribe and, of course,
30:21wearing the brand-new Lucha Underground championship.
30:25So a lot of things going on here for Prince Puma,
30:28but a lot of people say that if Puma continues to defend his title
30:31on a weekly or biweekly basis,
30:33that Puma may never get to those, I don't know,
30:36punk, bockwinkle, San Martino-esque-type
30:38long championship reigns.
30:40Do you agree?
30:41I do agree, and that's a hell of a call, bro,
30:43but I also would like to say, maybe it's just my point of view,
30:46but those guys were then historical, yes,
30:50but the kid who's rewriting his story
30:52and the ones who's going to set the tone for the next generation
30:55is none other than Prince Puma.
30:57And the challenger
30:59from the highlands of Guerrero, Mexico,
31:03King Cuerno!
31:06The last time we saw King Cuerno,
31:08he was in a vicious steel cage match with Johnny Mundo.
31:12As you see the buckhead come through the smoke,
31:15and Cuerno seems to be alone.
31:20Whereas Puma has the newly signed Hernandez and Johnny Mundo by his side,
31:24you have to believe that Cuerno
31:26will not enter this savage forest alone.
31:30Man, look at how confident he is, man.
31:33He's got his back turned to Hernandez and Johnny Mundo and Puma.
31:36No respect.
31:38We're going to find out who Cuerno's partners are,
31:40as we have received word that both Puma and Cuerno's teams
31:44will be competing against one another
31:46in the trios tournament next week.
31:49Oh, my God, dude.
31:52Oh, my God, dude.
31:54It's The Machine and Tejano Cage.
31:57Whoa, dude.
31:59Oh, boy.
32:00This clearly answers the question
32:02as to who Cuerno's partners will be next week.
32:05But the new question is,
32:06who will be the champion going into that trios match?
32:09On the left is Cage.
32:11On the right is Tejano.
32:12They joined Cuerno as members of the trio.
32:15But again, it's just Cuerno versus Puma one-on-one right now.
32:23And if you look at the six world-class luchadors
32:27in the ring right now,
32:28I defy you to find a deeper, more talented roster.
32:32This, my friends, is lucha underground,
32:35and it's the place to be.
32:36Year 2015.
32:38This is definitely stepping up in a bomb to Call of Duty.
32:41This is rock and roll right here, brother.
32:43You don't get much more dangerous than this.
32:46I don't know what's going to happen.
32:48Senior official Marty Elias assigned to this match.
32:51Marty will certainly have to assert his authority here.
32:55This probably doesn't have too much to do with it,
32:57but I would like to point out that Hernandez and Johnny Mundo
33:01have the same jeans on.
33:03It's huge.
33:04Here we go.
33:05Our main event here on lucha underground.
33:07King Cuerno on the left, the challenger, the champion.
33:10Prince Puma circles the ring.
33:12Here we go.
33:15Aztec on the line here in the temple.
33:18Did you see what Cuerno just did?
33:21Feeling the territory, making his mark, checking the...
33:24The old Native Americans would feel the ground
33:27and be able to tell if a storm were coming
33:29or perhaps maybe an animal was in that area.
33:31So Cuerno's hunter background certainly coming into play here.
33:34Collar and elbow tie-up.
33:35Both men now jockeying for position.
33:37Wow, that is so tight.
33:38Did you see how the pressure on the elbow was brutal?
33:43Cuerno now with the arm wringer, manipulating the joint.
33:46Puma with a unique way to relieve the pressure.
33:48You know Johnny Muno doesn't like the fact
33:50that Dario Cuero gave Cuerno a title match before him.
33:53He's super pissed, egomaniac all the way.
34:01Nice courting hold there,
34:03trying to manipulate the arm and shoulder.
34:05This is about way more than money, brother.
34:08This is about pride and honor.
34:10Cuerno again with that courting hold.
34:12Puma with the knees.
34:13Cuerno taking advantage of Puma's athleticism.
34:16It's few and far between when Puma is matched on athleticism,
34:19but I believe that Cuerno matches him.
34:21You know what, you're absolutely right.
34:23Same body type, almost the same size, same weight, everything.
34:26I would like to say the same age bracket.
34:29You don't really know because they're wearing masks.
34:31But I would almost say that Cuerno,
34:33the only advantage he has is his methods of madness
34:37where he takes his time.
34:39And of course the stare down in the ring.
34:41That's all about timing there.
34:43But Prince Puma has that unique ability,
34:46that intangible that makes Prince Puma so unique.
34:50He's calling for it.
34:52Oh, look at that.
34:54The power of Tejano and Cage caught Prince Puma.
34:57They feed him to Cuerno for the neck breaker.
35:00Whoa!
35:02Hernandez and Puma coming around the corner.
35:05Tejano has that great equalizer, that sandpaper snake.
35:09But even the machine backed up a little bit from that one.
35:11Tejano kind of fired up there.
35:13Finally, brother, he's making his...
35:15And notice the position of the champion.
35:17He's behind enemy lines.
35:19Don't forget, look at that, the hunter.
35:24So I would like to...
35:26Apparently Mundo and Hernandez has it back,
35:28but where are they at?
35:30You're just joining us.
35:32This is our Lucha Underground championship match,
35:34our main event.
35:36The champion, Prince Puma, down.
35:38The challenger, King Cuerno, stands over him.
35:42Puma just received a devastating neck breaker on the floor,
35:46and now the whole entire dynamic of this match
35:48has come to a screeching halt.
35:50They just called for the cutting off his head, dude.
35:52Did you see that? They gave it a little itty there.
35:54They're gonna hurt him.
35:55And now King Cuerno methodically going to work on the champion.
36:01Vamp, a neck injury in the match early on.
36:04What does that do?
36:06Man, it could be a career ender, brother.
36:08I'm telling you, I broke my neck three times wrestling,
36:10and Puma better watch out.
36:12It makes you think.
36:13It kind of slows down your game a bit.
36:15You look at Cuerno dissecting his opponent,
36:17attacking the leg, attacking the neck,
36:19just piece by piece dissecting the champion.
36:22Don't forget, that neck has nerves.
36:24It goes all the way down through the body,
36:25so whether you hit it up top or hit it down below,
36:27you lose balance, right?
36:29Yes. Nice drop kick there.
36:31Cover, not enough.
36:32You saw Cuerno couldn't even clasp his hands there
36:34before Puma kicked out.
36:35That has to be the training of the great Conan
36:37who tells you when your opponent is on,
36:39you kick out quickly, no?
36:41You know what, man?
36:42How the hell can you even say the great Conan?
36:44What's wrong with you?
36:45He's a legend.
36:46Where?
36:48Conan's sacrifices are internationally known,
36:50but the point of attack here is on Puma.
36:57Wow.
36:58Ankles, knees, back, neck.
37:02We've said it many times with the hunter,
37:04he just likes to hurt people before he takes them out.
37:06You know what I mean?
37:07Like a shark taking a bite, coming back to kill.
37:09Yes, King Cuerno is dissecting Puma,
37:11trying to restrict his high-flying arsenal.
37:16Kick to the back.
37:20Now, Cuerno gets Puma in the corner.
37:22Notice how Cuerno maneuvers his opponent by the neck
37:25as the Buckhead watches over.
37:28And notice here, Cuerno's smart,
37:30taking the referee for a walk
37:31and allowing the bruisers to do their business.
37:34If King Cuerno wins the Lucha Underground title tonight,
37:37he may have to share some of the pay
37:39with Cage and Tejano.
37:43Brother, the referee doesn't even see Tejano.
37:45He's down there on the floor.
37:49I wonder if Dario Cuerno paid these dudes off.
37:54Circumstances are a big thing in sports as well as in life,
37:58and Prince Puma's circumstances
38:00are not boding well for the champion.
38:02Bad move, bad move.
38:03We know what happens when the fans get on his side.
38:06Puma fires up.
38:07He gets that extra-worldly wind,
38:11and he turns into what he is,
38:12almost a god.
38:15Yeah, well, it begs the question,
38:17is the Lucha Underground championship
38:18the ultimate trophy for the Hunter King Cuerno?
38:22Not if you're the champion, Prince Puma,
38:24who gets a second wind of life here,
38:26who understands what's at stake.
38:28Here comes Prince Puma.
38:30He's got Cuerno rocking and reeling, bro.
38:32This is not good for Cuerno.
38:35Puma trained by the best,
38:37but it may not be enough in this match.
38:41Onto the apron, Cuerno lands.
38:43Bang, big kick.
38:44Dope, so cool.
38:46Oh!
38:48Awesome, man.
38:51Keep your eyes on the champion.
38:54Oh, my God.
38:57Oh, what the hell?
38:58Puma in the ring and understands
39:00Hernandez has nowhere to go.
39:02Johnny Mundo has a plan,
39:04and there it is!
39:05Holy shit!
39:06What the hell is Johnny Mundo doing?
39:09Arguably the greatest athlete
39:12on the face of the planet.
39:14Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
39:17Hang on, what's happening here?
39:18Two big powerhouses, Hernandez and Cage.
39:21Oh, yeah.
39:22And Cage, my father used to say,
39:24you turn your back on a man you're not afraid of.
39:26Cage has turned his back on Hernandez.
39:28Utter disrespect.
39:29Brother, this is almost like, you know,
39:31that Godzilla movie.
39:32You know, two monsters are about to hit.
39:33You know it's coming.
39:34Notice what Cage did.
39:35He rolled Cuerno back into the ring,
39:37understands the title,
39:38can't change hands on a count-out.
39:41And Hernandez willing Puma back into the ring,
39:44whereas Cage had to literally put Cuerno in the ring.
39:47Hernandez willed Puma.
39:49That may be the difference.
39:50Puma's heart.
39:51Puma's fight.
39:52And that comes from Conan.
39:54No, it does not, man.
39:55I think he had too much to drink tonight.
39:57Conan's got nothing to do with that.
39:58Brother, I don't think Puma...
39:59Oh, Puma right down onto his neck.
40:01Cover here.
40:02Ooh, Cuerno would have taken that.
40:03I think that Puma might still be knocked out.
40:05Maybe it was too soon.
40:06Maybe Hernandez pushed him under Conan's guidance.
40:10Big mistake.
40:12You know, normally the Puma-Cuerno matches
40:14that we see individually are, for lack of a better term,
40:17pretty matches
40:18with a lot of nice moves.
40:19But this is an ugly, ugly fight.
40:22Beautifully done.
40:23Is it enough?
40:24Has the champion retained?
40:25No.
40:26Wow.
40:27Notice Cuerno sits right up.
40:28Shoulders off the mat.
40:29Shows you where Cuerno's head is at.
40:31You think that Hernandez is making his presence felt?
40:33He's scoping out the area.
40:34He's letting Cage know that he's here.
40:37Puma now.
40:38Uh-oh.
40:39Signaling.
40:40No way.
40:41Springboard.
40:42Missed.
40:43Oh, my God.
40:44Cuerno now.
40:45The championship in his sights, perhaps.
40:48Oh, big bridging German suplex.
40:50Holding on and rolling through.
40:52No way, no way.
40:53A second one.
40:54Remember the neck injury from earlier in the match.
40:57Cuerno certainly does.
40:59Two German suplexes into...
41:02Oh, vertical suplex.
41:04Matt, is this the end of our champion?
41:06Leg is hooked.
41:07New champion.
41:08No.
41:09Puma just got schooled, bro.
41:11Shots on the neck, the head like that.
41:13That's gonna leave you in dum-dum land
41:15for a long, long time.
41:16This is awesome!
41:18Of course it's awesome.
41:19This is awesome!
41:21See the arms of Puma hanging.
41:23The neck injury could lead to numbness in the limbs.
41:26Hernandez up.
41:27Cage up.
41:28Man, Marty Elias is earning his money tonight.
41:32Oh!
41:33Oh!
41:34Head cut from a giant man.
41:37Oh!
41:38The toe of the boot caught Cuerno right behind the ear.
41:41And notice the placement of where Cuerno lies.
41:45What is Puma doing?
41:46He's arguing with Hernandez.
41:48Puma is telling Hernandez that he needs to do this himself.
41:51He understands that.
41:52Puma didn't see the assistance from Hernandez
41:55as Puma locks eyes with the trophy.
41:57And now...
41:58Who cares, dude?
41:59We've seen this before.
42:00Who cares, man? Just finish him.
42:02Oh!
42:03I don't know if that was a 630 or a 950,
42:05but it may be enough.
42:07Still the champion.
42:08Wow!
42:09Here's your winner
42:11and still Lucha Underground champion,
42:16Prince Puma!
42:20Crazy, man.
42:21You called it, brother.
42:22I didn't even pick up on that.
42:23Our champion had to do it by himself.
42:25He let everybody know,
42:26not just here in the temple, but worldwide, Matt.
42:28The resiliency of the champion, Prince Puma,
42:31is quickly becoming this young man's calling card.
42:34Hernandez assisted,
42:35but I don't know if Hernandez realized
42:37that Puma didn't ask for the assistance,
42:40Puma didn't want the assistance.
42:41It's just a misunderstanding here.
42:46Man, I hope they can get along next week.
42:48I mean, you know the teams in the tournament, dude.
42:50Dang!
42:54Wow!
