00:00I want this trio status to be a very important part of my temple.
00:05The man that Puma will be facing tonight in the main event is part of a trio's team that
00:09I have personally assembled.
00:10I found the perfect partner, Hernandez.
00:14All we gotta do is find one more vato loco.
00:16Actually, Puma already found another vato.
00:18Me.
00:19Are you kidding me?
00:21You can't trust that gabacho.
00:22The following lucha is for the Lucha Underground Championship.
00:23The champion, Prince Puma, inquired on the challenger.
00:24Puma just got schooled.
00:25Hernandez assisted, but Puma didn't want the assistance.
00:26Still the champion.
00:27Wow.
00:28Aerostar, one win away.
00:29Unique opportunity that Guero has brought us.
00:30Oh!
00:31What's Drago have in mind for Aerostar?
00:32Destruction.
00:33Total aggression starting to come out.
00:34Wow.
00:35Big, big, big win.
00:36The series is tied.
00:37Whoever wins the next match will get a unique opportunity.
00:38The Lucha Underground Championship.
00:39The champion, Prince Puma, inquired on the challenger.
00:40Puma just got schooled.
00:41Hernandez assisted, but Puma didn't want the assistance.
00:42Still the champion.
00:43Wow.
00:44Aerostar, one win away.
00:45Unique opportunity that Guero has brought us.
00:46Oh!
00:47What's Drago have in mind for Aerostar?
00:49Wow.
00:50Big, big, big win.
00:51The series is tied.
00:52Whoever wins the next match will get a unique opportunity.
01:19Aerostar.
01:34Gazing up to the cosmos.
01:37Let me ask.
01:39Is that where you find your inspiration?
01:42Up there in the heavens?
01:45Well, no, Drago.
01:49His inspiration comes from down below.
01:52The fires of hell are what drive him.
01:56And I promise, he will stop at nothing to win tonight.
02:02If you see a shooting star, make a wish.
02:06But be careful what you wish for.
02:08Everything in my temple has a price.
02:11Good luck.

03:10It's time for the championship tournament final match.
03:13We find all this out tonight.
03:14This is Lucha Underground.
03:15The following lucha is scheduled for one fall and is a trios tag team championship tournament
03:25match.
03:26Introducing first, the team of King Cuerno, Tejano, and they call him Cage.
03:38Vav, you feel that this team here presents themselves the best opportunity to go on to
03:44the finals.
03:45Why?
03:46Because we got the calm, cool attitude of Cuerno and just look at his backup man.
03:52We got the machine called Cage and we got the former AAA mega champion, Tejano.
03:58Yeah, this may very well be perhaps the most balanced trio here in this tournament.
04:04We talked about Cuerno, the hunter.
04:06Look at the style and the power of the man called Cage, and then there is Tejano who
04:10has shown a very vicious streak in a short time here in Lucha Underground.
04:14He's new here to Lucha Underground, but he's definitely earned his chops worldwide.
04:19He's a force to be reckoned with and he likes to hurt people, so he fits right in.
04:22And their opponents, the team of Johnny Mundo, Hernandez, and the Lucha Underground champion,
04:36Prince Puma!
04:39Vav, this team here poses a very interesting quandary in Lucha Underground, because if
04:44Prince Puma's team advances to the finals, if they win the Triple Threat Trios final
04:49championship match, Prince Puma will be a dual title holder here in Lucha Underground.
04:53He can't think of two better partners to have by his side.
04:56There's the champ with Aztec Gold!
04:58And you know very well that Conan would like to have that limelight without doing anything
05:03as usual.
05:05But brother, how cool is it to see these guys coming down the stairs with the fans just
05:09going nuts?
05:10Once again, we've got a full house.
05:11Oh, there you get a good look at a young fan with a Prince Puma mask.
05:14And ladies and gentlemen, there are so many subplots here.
05:17Of course, Johnny Mundo and King Cuerno recently had a steel Cage match.
05:22Prince Puma and King Cuerno recently had a championship match.
05:25Cage and Puma have issues.
05:27And then there is the 6'4", 290-pound, world-renowned Hernandez.
05:32Trained by Rudy Boy Gonzalez, he's held nearly 30 championships in this industry.
05:36Hernandez, for me, is the guy to watch in this match.
05:39The biggest match in our Trios tournament happens when we come back.
05:43You don't want to miss this.
05:49Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
05:50And the winners of this match will compete next week for our brand-new Trios Tag Team Titles.
05:57Is Puma overconfident?
06:00I wouldn't trust Hernandez or Johnny Mundo, but you see what's going on.
06:04Puma's confidence is at an all-time high.
06:06Puma owns victories over Cuerno.
06:09Puma has been able to hold his own against Cage.
06:11So Puma certainly should be confident.
06:13He's a Lucha Underground champion, which means he's the best in this company currently.
06:17Here we go.
06:18And we are in his hometown.
06:19What's the only thing against Puma?
06:21It's Conan.
06:22Excuse me.
06:23You and I disagree week in and week out.
06:26Conan deserves the respect for the fact that he has done so much for Lucha Libre,
06:31both in Mexico and here in the States.
06:33And now he has done so much for the future of our business
06:35by helping Prince Puma become as great as Puma is.
06:39Swindled his way into the limelight once again by doing nothing.
06:42Atta boy.
06:43Alright, here we go to the action.
06:53There you go.
06:54Wow.
06:56He's just so patient, man.
06:57That's so cool to see.
07:02Young generations take note.
07:03Pay attention to this kid, but
07:06he's going to pay the piper sometime.
07:10Hernandez now.
07:12Shining it up.
07:13Blessing it.
07:14And laying it down.
07:17Hernandez sends Cuerno into the ropes now.
07:19Cuerno off-ducks the clothesline.
07:20Cuerno should have a speed advantage.
07:22Hernandez obviously will have a power advantage.
07:25He's not even blinking, brother.
07:28Rock-a-bye baby on the treetops.
07:30Wait a second here.
07:31Into...
07:32Whoa, went for the powerbomb.
07:33But Cuerno flipped through for the sunset flip.
07:35And Hernandez's face tells the entire story.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Too much ego.
07:41Too much attitude, bro.
07:44That was dope.
07:46Watch out, brother.
07:49Oh, man.
07:50How strong is...
07:51He's just so strong, bro.
07:52Whereas we originally thought that Cage and Tejano
07:54would give the power advantage to their team.
07:56Hernandez may negate that single-handedly.
08:01Attitude.
08:02Here comes Tejano.
08:03Hernandez had his back turned.
08:04Wow.
08:06The well-decorated Tejano we've discussed in the past weeks.
08:09Tejano's great accolades.
08:11He was the youngest and longest-reigning
08:13AAA Mega Champion in history.
08:18Tejano goes about, what, 6'3"?
08:21Okay.
08:226'3", 250, 260.
08:24Hernandez sets up Tejano in the tree of woe.
08:27Johnny Mundo tagged in.
08:322, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
08:40Uh-oh.
08:41Fooled him on the Diaz.
08:43Oh!
08:44What we've come to know and love from Johnny Mundo.
08:47Well, it's confirmed that we do have
08:49one of the smartest fans in the world.
08:50They did count to 10.
08:51Oh, look at that.
08:52You notice on the cover, Johnny shifted his weight
08:54to get Tejano off and away from the ropes.
08:56That is very smart.
08:57Shows you that Mundo's head is where it should be
08:59right now in the early going.
09:00Yeah, but where's his ego?
09:02I've said it a million times,
09:03and I'll say it a million more.
09:05He might be in a team,
09:06but he's always looking out for number one.
09:08That's what I feel.
09:09Maybe I'm wrong, Matt,
09:10but, hey, I just call it like I see it, right?
09:12Individually, they are talented.
09:13Perhaps the sum of the parts may be greater
09:15as the Lucha Underground champion
09:16has been tagged in now.
09:17Prince Puma, one of the most exciting
09:19and electrifying luchadors
09:20you will see anywhere in the world.
09:23Puma's first taste of Tejano and vice versa.
09:28Tejano gouges the eye.
09:30And speaking of eyes,
09:31we seem to have a guest here tonight
09:33with a great interest in this match.
09:39I saw Cuerno had a handful of the mask there.
09:43Oof.
09:44We discuss every week
09:45how important the masks are to the Lucha Libre culture.
09:52You see how these guys are working as a team,
09:54pulling Puma over to the corner?
09:56Smart.
09:57Isolate the smallest guy,
09:59and that's not a negative term,
10:00but isolate the smallest guy on the team.
10:02That is the mantra of tag team wrestling.
10:05He's not the smallest guy
10:06in the Lucha Underground universe, though.
10:08Don't forget he's got the heart of a warrior,
10:10and he's our champion.
10:11Champion on the move now,
10:12ducking the double clothesline.
10:14Wow, you see that?
10:15Great offense there.
10:16Bang.
10:18Puma, nicely done.
10:20Small guy, my ass,
10:21he just kicked the vocal
10:22of putting his foot on the ground.
10:24Second-tended.
10:25Talent, hustle, that's what Puma has.
10:28And now Johnny Mundo.
10:30And, you know, the team of Puma, Mundo and Hernandez,
10:32they have the experience.
10:34Oh, my God!
10:37Sorry, man, he just knocked on the helm the next week.
10:40One second.
10:42Mano in.
10:43Hernandez flies.
10:46Mundo.
10:47A little bit of a vault there from Hernandez.
10:50Wow, two more.
10:52Double clothesline.
10:53I didn't expect that from him.
10:56I'm sorry, man, I just got so excited.
10:58I became a fan once again.
10:59I apologize, we all are.
11:04Oh!
11:06I'm sorry, man.
11:08This is disaction.
11:09Are you surprised from Hernandez's abilities
11:11because of Hernandez's friendship with Conan?
11:14I...
11:15Yes.
11:16You know, that's two negative things
11:18out of three on that team.
11:20Anybody who's got any affiliations with Conan
11:23pays the price in the long run.
11:25Back to the action here.
11:26Mundo up and over.
11:27Tejano legal.
11:28Mundo legal.
11:29Bang!
11:30Big spine on the pine.
11:31Tejano floats over.
11:32Referee is down.
11:33Can this team move on?
11:34No.
11:38Very violent action.
11:40Very violent action.
11:41Look at this smart strategy here by Tejano
11:43with the single-leg crab.
11:44If you compromise Johnny Mundo's lower extremities,
11:46you take away a great deal of Johnny's offense.
11:49No doubt about it.
11:50And they are attacking.
11:51Is that the leg that's been injured
11:52over the past couple weeks, months?
11:53Yep, Johnny Mundo's left leg injured
11:55at the hands of King Cuerno
11:56over the past few weeks.
11:57I'm sure Cuerno smartened his partners up to that.
11:59No doubt about it.
12:00You know that Tejano's very capable
12:02of ripping them ligaments right off the bone.
12:06Now Tejano backs in.
12:08Cuerno makes the tag.
12:14Whoa.
12:16No need to hit the ref.
12:20Forcing Johnny to run on the bad leg.
12:24Cover.
12:26You'll notice Cuerno peered over his left shoulder
12:28to see where Pumon Hernandez was,
12:30and now the man called cage.
12:32Brother, what are you going to learn?
12:33He's not a man, dude.
12:34He's a machine.
12:36Mundo quick.
12:38Kip up.
12:39Hang on a second.
12:40And again, Mundo baits Cuerno,
12:42but Tejano right there.
12:44Turn around, brother.
12:45Forget about him.
12:47Cuerno went for the cover.
12:48Mundo out of the way.
12:49Here comes the champ.
12:52Puma now with a misdirection.
12:54Tejano has Puma.
12:56Puma kicks off Cuerno, moves around.
12:58Tejano into Cuerno.
13:00Beautifully done.
13:01Forces Cuerno to DDT his own opponent
13:03with the neckbreaker.
13:08What the hell was that?
13:10Hernandez in now.
13:11Sends cage over.
13:12That's a heavyweight battle I'd like to see more of here.
13:15The tsunami is coming.
13:16Like a surfer, the wave is coming.
13:18And...
13:19Booyah!
13:20Big man can fly!
13:23Welcome to Lucha Underground.
13:27The arrow of hell.
13:29Watch Cuerno.
13:31Oh, Mundo and Puma had it well scouted there.
13:34Both these men know Cuerno well.
13:37Oh, yeah.
13:38Watch out, watch out, watch out.
13:40Who goes where?
13:42Here we go, here we go, here we go.
13:44Stereo!
13:50Stereo, stereo, stereo.
13:52Let's go.
13:54Stereo, stereo, stereo.
13:55Like you called it, Matt, but remember,
13:57don't get too confident.
14:02Mundo and Puma, the stereo MCs,
14:04flying over the top rope in unison.
14:06But remember that the pinfall happens in the ring.
14:09A count-out can advance.
14:10But then again, the momentum really comes
14:12with a pinfall or a submission.
14:14No doubt about it.
14:15But here we go once again, Matt.
14:16It's like the lottery.
14:17It happens every weekend.
14:18The fans are on their feet.
14:19This is awesome, and I agree.
14:23And Vamp, say what you want
14:24about the legendary Kona.
14:26Seems to have a very well-oiled machine
14:28out here with this Trios team.
14:29No, I thought I had food poisoning
14:31and my stomach hurt.
14:32No, I thought I was the food,
14:33but now I'm actually Kona.
14:34I understand.
14:36Back to the action in the ring.
14:37It's hot, it's heavy, it's fast.
14:39It's Lucha Underground.
14:41What the hell's going on?
14:43Oh, my God.
14:44Wow, nicely done.
14:47Well, this is the style that is gonna be needed
14:50for teams to win.
14:52One, two, three.
14:54Oh!
14:57When you think of the Trio style,
14:59you think of the speed, the relay race,
15:01the rapid fire, if you will.
15:03This is just totally off the hook
15:05here, there, and everywhere.
15:07Bodies are flying, crashing, bones are breaking.
15:09This is Lucha Underground.
15:11Now, Puma showing great strength,
15:14getting Cage up on his shoulders.
15:16Blind tag now by Cuerno.
15:17Whoa.
15:18Oh, Jesus.
15:19Oh, my God.
15:21Cage.
15:22Oh, wow.
15:23Great throw-up catch power slam.
15:29Like a train hitting a machine.
15:31Tejano.
15:32Wow, brother.
15:33That's one of the first times we've seen Hernandez
15:35off the speed.
15:36Mundo with a great springboard spear.
15:38You don't see this in New York City
15:40when it's snowing all too much.
15:41A 140,000 million car crash happening here live.
15:45Quite a lot of cars there.
15:46Yeah, well, New York's got a lot of people.
15:48Whoa.
15:52That shot tells it all.
15:54Both men flat on their back.
15:56Shoulders down.
15:57Whomever arrives first will give their team
16:00a great advantage.
16:01Insane.
16:02Sorry, brother, I had to give these guys an ovation
16:04because they do deserve it.
16:05That was like last time.
16:06That was like turning a blender on of action, right?
16:10Cuerno firing up.
16:12You see Tejano with his best friend
16:14wrapped around his right hand.
16:16Whoa.
16:17Cuerno, the most recent challenger
16:19to Puma's championship.
16:20And you have to believe that amidst the trio's championship,
16:23guys are watching Puma for their opportunity.
16:25Oh, great roll through.
16:26Is this enough?
16:28No.
16:29Johnny Mundo very quick to help out his partner.
16:31Oh, my God.
16:32He got knocked the F out with a bull rope.
16:36He just squirt.
16:37Oh, man.
16:39Puma was felt through the ropes.
16:41Tejano duffed Puma.
16:42Bang.
16:43There's the thrill of the hunt.
16:44Shoulders are down.
16:45The champion has been pinned.
16:46And your winners,
16:49Tejano
16:52and Gene Cuerno.
16:56With a huge pinfall on the champion,
16:58the team of Cuerno, Tejano, and Cage
17:01advance to the trio's championship triple threat match.
17:05And, Vamp, can anyone stop this team?
17:08Brother, Tejano just Mike Tyson Puma.
17:11Good God.
17:12I don't think so, man.
17:13You said about momentum and motivation.
17:15You got a hunter, a monster, and a machine.
17:18Forget about it.
17:20There's our owner, Dario Cuerno.
17:25Congratulations.
17:29I knew you three would be a monster team.
17:34But as excited as I am to crown my first,
17:38my new trio champions next week,
17:42I would love a sneak preview of that match right now.
17:46So, we're gonna have a three-way match
17:51with one member from each team that have qualified.
17:56Yes.
17:57So, King Cuerno, Tejano, Cage,
18:01time to decide who you are sending to battle
18:06because that match will be next.
18:12Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
18:14Thank you for riding with El Rey.
18:16And the finals of the trio's tag team championship tournament
18:20has been decided.
18:21This three-way will tell us a lot about what we should see
18:25next week.
18:26When tonight?
18:27Set the tone.
18:28Let's go to the ring.
18:29The following lucha is scheduled for one fall
18:32and is a three-way match.
18:35The following lucha is scheduled for one fall
18:38and is a three-way match.
18:41Currently in the ring, from the 559,
18:46they call him Cage.
18:49Cage's team was victorious before we went to commercial break
18:52and now Cage chose to compete in this three-way match.
18:56He chose it and he said,
18:57I'll go first, brother.
18:58But him just standing there, he just scares people, dude.
19:02And his opponent, from South Central Los Angeles,
19:07The Mac.
19:09The Mac represents the team of Killshot, Big Rick, and The Mac.
19:13Net's team was victorious.
19:14They move on to the finals.
19:16You get a good look as this man emerges.
19:19Why is Dario Cueto doing this, man?
19:21What's his fetish with this kind of weirdness?
19:23Dario Cueto likes dysfunction.
19:25We've come to learn this from Dario.
19:27And from the open road,
19:31Son of Havoc!
19:37There comes a man that has become a sentimental favorite
19:40amongst the congregation here at the temple.
19:42Son of Havoc, high-flying,
19:44death-defying, never-say-die attitude.
19:47It brings a unique dynamic to this three-way match.
19:50It certainly does, man,
19:51and he has more than won the hearts of the fans here.
19:54You know, real quickly, he became a fan favorite worldwide.
19:57That's right.
20:00The three luchadores in the ring
20:02represent their respective teams
20:04that will move on to the trio's championship final match.
20:08Son of Havoc, his partners Ivelisse and Angelico.
20:12The Mac, his partners Big Rick and Killshot,
20:15and Cage, his partners King Cuerno and Tejano.
20:18Vamp, who did he give the advantage to in this match
20:20as well as in the finals for the title?
20:22Well, for one reason, I'm giving it to the machine, Cage,
20:25because of his strength, but on the other hand,
20:27you gotta give it to Havoc because he's a fan favorite.
20:29I mean, you know, you get that vibe, you get that energy,
20:31and it's only gonna help you.
20:33Sunset flip, Cage way too strong here.
20:36Can I point something out, Matt?
20:38Go right ahead.
20:39How cool is it that in...
20:40Ooh!
20:41Wow, awkward landing.
20:43In 2015, we got lucha libre in the United States.
20:46We got a hell of a match going on.
20:48Nice!
20:49Everybody's adapted to the best style in the world.
20:52Only you'll find that here in the lucha underground.
20:56That lucha libre style is universal.
20:59And now the Mac tries to send Cage in.
21:02Mac showing his power, being able to whip the big man.
21:04Ooh, big boot there, staggers Mac.
21:06Havoc makes his way back into the ring now.
21:09Havoc's gonna have the speed and high flying advantage
21:11in this match.
21:13Oh!
21:15Jesus.
21:17Oh, man.
21:18Oh!
21:19Hey, look at Mac.
21:20Just like a subway car derailed and crashing in.
21:22You know, given the opportunity,
21:23Mac is starting to impress.
21:25Oh!
21:28I think Son of Havoc still has the fans in his hands,
21:30though, bro.
21:31There's the reversal, the weight difference there.
21:33Havoc sensed it.
21:34Standing, beautifully done.
21:36With enough time to clap his hands.
21:38Ooh.
21:41Uh-oh.
21:42Uh-oh.
21:48Oh!
21:55Cage now in Mac.
21:58Cage sending Mac in.
22:00Oh!
22:01Big flying knee from the Mac.
22:03Brother, he is so explosive.
22:05Did you see how he just...
22:06Speaking of explosive, great suplex there.
22:08Wow.
22:10He's just so unorthodox in his body style and his look,
22:13but he's just a bomb.
22:17Yeah, and Mac's holding his own with Cage.
22:19Ooh, nice palm strike there from the Son of Havoc.
22:21El Hijo del Havoc, if you will.
22:24Oh, special guest wants to get in the action.
22:26Tweet the underground Luchador.
22:27Look for at Lucha El Rey.
22:30So many celebrities in all walks of life
22:32come here to the temple
22:34to watch perhaps the greatest athletic action
22:37on the face of the planet.
22:39It's definitely the hottest wrestling promomenade
22:41in the universe.
22:42Oh!
22:43Inadvertent or not, it took the toll.
22:46Cover here.
22:47No.
22:48Oh!
22:49Going for the arm bar.
22:50Going for a cross arm breaker here.
22:52Cage's arms could be hyperextended.
22:53This could be a submission.
22:54Those of you that watch MMA have seen this move before.
22:57Mac does and knows it.
22:58Ooh, big senton, Dick Togo style.
23:01That shows agility.
23:02Oh!
23:04Oh, yeah, keep your eyes wide open, brother.
23:06Ooh.
23:07Mine are.
23:09Look at that.
23:10The PCP eyes of the Mac tell the story.
23:12You said PCP.
23:16It was so cool.
23:17You were MMA-ing it all out,
23:18and all of a sudden a card came crashing through the window.
23:22Look at that.
23:23Power of Cage muscling Mac.
23:25Cage is being put to the test here, no doubt about it.
23:30Now young sweet daddy Siki is set up on the top rope.
23:34Cage could be going for a superplex there.
23:36Havoc realizes the jeopardy that he's in,
23:38and now perhaps here.
23:41Tower of Doom, sit out.
23:43Who took the brunt, though?
23:45Tower of Doom in the temple.
23:47Craziness, right?
23:50Fans, Matt, doing our job, calling like they see it.
23:52Lucha, lucha, lucha, no doubt about it.
23:55Mac showing a wherewithal, rolling out of the ring.
24:00Havoc situates himself on the apron.
24:03Cage, face down in the middle of the ring.
24:07Havoc's a pretty well-built guy, you know what I mean?
24:09And he's got the fans on his side.
24:12Havoc really is showing us so much.
24:15After his personal issues with Ivelisse and Angelico,
24:17Havoc realizes that there's just something about rage and anger
24:22that can fuel a fighter.
24:25Look at Cage.
24:27Oh!
24:31I'm going to say it with the fans.
24:33Holy...
24:35It's not me. Can't edit that out.
24:38Cover here.
24:39Wild little arrogant cover.
24:41Referee Rick Knox came close there,
24:43but Lucha rolls off.
24:44Have you noticed when Cage is a machine,
24:46he just presses people into the mat?
24:48He usually gets a win a lot quicker
24:49than instead of hooking the leg.
24:51Cage now maybe going for weapon X here.
24:53Mac, oh boy.
24:55Oh, my God.
24:57That was right in front of us,
24:58and he did connect in the teeth.
25:01Mac, though, carrying that extra weight
25:04may be a negative for Mac.
25:07Remember the fast-paced style here in Lucha Underground.
25:10If Mac can slow things down, Mac will be successful.
25:15Man, those are size 15 boots.
25:17He just knocked the machine's bolts out of place.
25:19Team of Mac, Big Rick, and Killshot
25:22certainly have a strength and high-flying dynamic to them.
25:26Uh-oh.
25:28Do you hear Timber, Mac?
25:30The hands are down.
25:32Down goes Mac.
25:33We've seen this before from Son of Havoc.
25:35If Havoc can hit the shooting star press,
25:37you have to believe that victory is within the sight
25:39of the bearded biker.
25:41Brother...
25:43Cage pulled Mac right out of the way.
25:46One pinfall will end this match,
25:48and Cage realizes that.
25:50Now the opportunist Cage
25:52stuffed Son of Havoc.
25:54Weapon X coming.
25:55Could he hit it here?
25:57That was so crazy, it was too good to be true.
25:59Almost three wins for Havoc,
26:00but no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
26:02One, two, Cage's team victorious.
26:05And your winner,
26:07they call him Cage!
26:10In the sports world, momentum means so much.
26:13The team of Cage, Tejano, and Cuerno
26:15have the momentum going into the finals.
26:18If you're a betting man,
26:20lay your dollars down, lay your pesos down
26:22on Cage, Cuerno, and Tejano.
26:25Our main event is coming up.
26:27Aerostar and Drago,
26:29they've gone from friends to rivals
26:31once Dario Cueto has promised them a unique opportunity.
26:33And in this sport, opportunity means everything.
26:36Drago and Aerostar will do battle
26:38one last time tonight.
26:49Drago.
26:51I remember the first time we spoke.
26:54It was in this very bathroom.
26:57I told you I wanted you to impress me,
26:59and you went out there and you won the fight.
27:01You impressed me that night.
27:03But tonight,
27:06it's a whole different story.
27:09Aerostar wants to ascend to the next level here,
27:12and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
27:15So, the question remains.
27:19Will Aerostar slay the dragon
27:22and earn my unique opportunity,
27:25or will it be Drago?
27:30We'll find out.
27:33We'll find out.
27:47Well, Pentagon's in the ring,
27:49but he's not scheduled to have a match tonight.
27:55Pentagon Jr. would like me to announce
27:58that he dedicates his next sacrifice
28:00to his master.
28:19Matt.
28:22There's no way I'm gonna take this, dude.
28:31Let's go.
28:51We're still on? We are still on?
28:53Okay.
28:55Ladies and gentlemen,
28:58the final chapter in the best-of-five series
29:00for Aerostar and Drago is next.
29:03Whomever will win the unique opportunity
29:05and what exactly does that entail,
29:07we're gonna find out.
29:09Don't go away.
29:17Well, it seems like Melissa
29:20has been a little bit shaken.
29:23So I'll do the honors.
29:27The winner of this lucha
29:30will earn one of my famous,
29:33unique opportunities.
29:36Introducing first,
29:39from the cosmos,
29:41Aerostar!
29:43Well, as we've come to know
29:45these two luchadores,
29:47we've seen everything they have.
29:49Aerostar and Drago started
29:51with the mutual respect.
29:53Then the tensions began to boil over.
29:55There you see Aerostar in the pure white.
29:58Perhaps that means something.
30:00This unique opportunity
30:02that Dario Cueto speaks about
30:04is something that is very important
30:06to every luchador here.
30:07You said that we've seen everything they have,
30:09but every time that this kid steps in the ring,
30:11he always has one new move.
30:13So maybe tonight might be something special.
30:15As I said, you gotta dig into that bag of tricks.
30:17Yeah, Lucha Underground, the evolution
30:19of wrestling and lucha libre
30:21all around the world.
30:23And his opponent,
30:26from the inframundo,
30:28Drago!
30:32I've made no bones about the fact
30:34that this young man is my favorite luchador
30:37here in Lucha Underground.
30:39I will try to stay impartial,
30:41but there is a part of me that is pulling
30:43for that man, Drago.
30:45I would say that he's my favorite for this match.
30:48He's darker.
30:50He's dirtier.
30:52Dig down into that black bag of it,
30:55as we call it in his soul.
30:57Maybe there's something there that we haven't seen yet.
31:03Ring the bell!
31:06These two well-matched.
31:08We've seen it now.
31:09This is the fifth match in an epic series.
31:12Drago on the move.
31:13Arrowstar stops him with a kick to the gut.
31:15Arrowstar now looks like he's looking for a suplex.
31:17Drago blocks it.
31:18Still very early in the match.
31:19Punches to the kidney now,
31:20trying to soften Drago up.
31:22Drago in the blue.
31:23Arrowstar in the silver or white,
31:24call it what you will.
31:25Oh!
31:26Drago shows that he has the strength advantage there.
31:28That was a brain buster.
31:29Cover.
31:30Referee's down.
31:31No, a two-count early on.
31:32And notice how Drago stays very close
31:34and tries to hook in a submission.
31:36He's got almost like a chokehold on him there.
31:38But that suplex was made pretty famous in Mexico
31:40when Eddie Guerrero was down there.
31:42He used to knock people out with that left, right, and center.
31:44Dario Cueta, our owner.
31:51This is the biggest match
31:52in both of these luchadores' careers
31:54because this unique opportunity that Dario keeps alluding to
31:57is very intriguing.
31:58You know, Matt,
31:59it is the biggest match in their careers.
32:01I think I'm almost more excited
32:02because I want to know what...
32:03Dario's kind of freaky,
32:04so I want to see what he promises.
32:05Wow!
32:06The unique style we've come to know and love
32:08from Arrowstar.
32:10Billed as he's from the cosmos,
32:12perhaps some divine intervention
32:14will be in Arrowstar's future.
32:16Maybe, but you know what?
32:17I hope they don't make the mistake
32:20of trying to showboat
32:21and not go for the win, man.
32:23Arrowstar now hung up in the tree of woe.
32:27Oh!
32:28Basement dropkick by Drago.
32:29That'll take your head right out of alignment
32:31with your back, bro.
32:32You know it's gonna swell up the traps quick enough.
32:35The positioning of Arrowstar.
32:36Notice how Drago brings Arrowstar
32:37back to the middle of the ring.
32:38That's where you want to go for your pinfalls
32:40or your submissions, away from the ropes.
32:42Oh!
32:43Oh, my God.
32:44Drago now senses it.
32:45No.
32:46This is the first time since we have been here
32:48that I have seen our owner, ringside,
32:50paying so much attention.
32:52Oh!
32:54Uh-oh. Here we go.
32:55Both men on the move now.
32:57Oh!
32:58Double clothesline.
32:59Send both luchadores down.
33:00Notice Drago fell first.
33:02Now both men, shoulders flat on the mat.
33:05Talk about it all the time.
33:06Whoever stirs, whoever gets up first,
33:08enjoys the advantage.
33:10Arrowstar's knocked out, but he rolled over.
33:12Rolled over with his face down
33:14so his back wouldn't be planted.
33:15Maybe he wouldn't get that count.
33:16That's a big sign of experience right there.
33:19You can see Dario Cueto grinding his teeth,
33:21his jaw moving back and forth.
33:23Could it be the tension?
33:24Could it be the anxiety?
33:25Could it be something else?
33:27Ooh.
33:28That was snug.
33:29Very snug.
33:32Uh-oh.
33:33Eye for an eye, brother.
33:35You said it.
33:36Every action has a reaction.
33:42Arrowstar with the trust fall.
33:44Sends Drago down.
33:46Well, I'm sure a countout victory
33:49would mean something to these luchadores.
33:51That's not the way that they want to win this match.
33:53That's not the way our owner wants to see it done.
33:55No doubt about it, brother.
33:56You don't go to war.
33:57And the referee not counting,
33:59just urging the luchadores to get back in the ring
34:01with his boss within earshot.
34:03Lefty Borden doesn't want to lose his job.
34:06Matt, you do not want to fight a battle
34:08that has lasted this long
34:09and has so many casualties in your psyche
34:12to just win by a countout.
34:13And everyone knows that the longer wars go on,
34:16no matter who wins or loses,
34:17there's always going to be ramifications
34:20and detrimental effects of long-term fighting.
34:23Drago now trying to get as far away
34:25from his opponent Arrowstar as possible.
34:27Arrowstar, an absolute lower back injury.
34:30Still on the move, though, there.
34:32They've got weeks of injuries piling up, brother.
34:35They've beat each other up for a long time here, Matt.
34:38Normally, you see these two enjoy a much quicker pace,
34:42but because of the collateral damage
34:44and because of the high stakes,
34:45you can see the pace far more methodical.
34:49Methodical, yes, and a lot more aggressive
34:52with a lot more intent to win like this one.
34:54We got one, two.
34:55Ooh, just that nanosecond there.
34:57That Arrowstar shoulder was not all the way down.
34:59Our referee did a great job there.
35:01That could have been the difference.
35:03Fans are feeling it. Something's coming.
35:05They're starting to go for the kill.
35:07I agree, man. Ooh!
35:10One, two.
35:12These two luchadores have given it their all in this series,
35:16and unfortunately, only one can win.
35:32Ooh!
35:33Watch out, watch out, watch out.
35:34Recoup, recoup.
35:36Oh, jeez.
35:38Oh, wow!
35:39Brother, what was that?
35:41Arrowstar in for the cover.
35:42Referee is down.
35:43Unique opportunity on the line.
35:45No, the match continues.
35:47Come on, brother.
35:48I'm so...
35:50It's gonna hurt to see a loser.
35:53Ooh!
35:55Go for the pin, go for the pin!
35:57Man, I don't know.
35:58Spectrum is upon it.
36:01Ooh!
36:03Cover by Arrowstar.
36:05Two. No.
36:07And, Van, we're seeing that Arrowstar is using the distance
36:10between himself and his opponent to his advantage,
36:12whereas Drago can't seem to make up that distance.
36:15It's a timing issue.
36:16It's a space issue for Drago.
36:18Is it?
36:19Maybe he doesn't want to be too high-risk today.
36:21Maybe he's trying to injure and set up for the kill.
36:24Maybe he's hunting.
36:26Ooh, big clothesline.
36:28And, again, it doesn't take a fancy move.
36:30No, not enough.
36:32You can win a match with a hip toss,
36:33you can win a match with a shooting star press.
36:35In the record books, it just says you won.
36:43And now Drago's frustrations seem to be taking over.
36:47Tugging at the mask.
36:48We've discussed how sacred the masks are here in Lucha Libre.
36:51These guys have definitely found ways to come out,
36:53pull victories out throughout this whole series.
36:55So this is going to go down to something we haven't seen yet.
36:58Well, we've talked about adjustments
36:59and great coaches in all sports.
37:01Adjustments need to be made
37:02as your opponents begin to learn your playbook and vice versa.
37:05Good God, this is like the final battle, man.
37:08This is just physically demanding,
37:11spiritually demanding,
37:13biting a part out of your heart, man.
37:15It's going to be a shame to see it end.
37:18And when this series started,
37:19we saw the friendship and the respect.
37:21Now all of that is out the window.
37:23What did I tell you, man?
37:24He is going to dig down into the darkness.
37:27This is Drago.
37:28It always amazes me,
37:29the things that are underneath the wrestling ring.
37:31Yeah, it's like the closet, right?
37:34You wouldn't know.
37:35Look at Dario Cueto smiling.
37:36He put that under there.
37:38Who's he kidding?
37:39Dario's crazy, man.
37:40He's going to put that under there.
37:42He's going to put that under there.
37:44Put that under there.
37:45Who's he kidding?
37:46Dario's crazy, man.
37:47The more violent it is,
37:48the more happy, the more I see him smile.
37:50Important to point out,
37:51no disqualifications and no count outs
37:52as per our owner, Dario Cueto.
37:57Dario's right there, front row, man.
37:59He's feeling it.
38:01The fans are crazy.
38:03They're calling for blood, dude.
38:08You heard just the cuddlage getting busted open
38:11in his neck there for the forearms.
38:14Chris Adams told me,
38:15you put that elbow around the ear,
38:16you're going to knock some brain cells loose.
38:21Aerostar able to get off of the table
38:23and out of harm's way.
38:28And now the irony,
38:29Drago set up on the table
38:31that Drago introduced into the match.
38:34Uh-oh.
38:35The fans know.
38:37Aerostar will fly.
38:39Holy shit!
38:45Oh!
38:55That's it.
38:57That's it.
38:59Aerostar!
39:02Aerostar!
39:04Aerostar!
39:05The faithful seem firmly behind Aerostar.
39:14Ooh, nice.
39:16Will this be Aerostar's opportunity?
39:18No!
39:19He didn't have it hooked in deep enough, Matt.
39:22He's got the right idea.
39:24He's just not got the right technique at this stage.
39:26You can tell by the way Aerostar's moving,
39:28he's having trouble breathing.
39:30You think he's out of gas?
39:31What I mean by that is,
39:32do you think he's ran out of tricks?
39:34He just can't seem to finish off Draggle.
39:36Oh, but perhaps going through that table
39:37has something to do with it.
39:39Like a soccer game that I've seen in Latin America
39:41many, many times, the fans have taken sides.
39:43Almost like hooligan skinheads in London, England.
39:46The fans are chanting,
39:48let's go Aerostar, let's go Draggle.
39:50And I said that the faithful were firmly behind Aerostar.
39:52I correct myself.
39:53The faithful equally divided here.
39:55Roll through, victory roll.
39:56Is this enough?
39:57Whoa!
39:59Aerostar right back up inside cradle.
40:00Small package.
40:01Can he hook both legs?
40:02No.
40:03You'll notice that Aerostar
40:04constantly going for victories,
40:05constantly going for pinfalls.
40:10Aerostar off the roof now.
40:11Draggle up.
40:12Went for the backdrop.
40:13Sunset flip, but Draggle had the momentum
40:15into the basement dropkick.
40:17Matt, you said it earlier,
40:18you can win with a shooting star press
40:19or you can do a schoolboy.
40:20This is, we're down to the wire here, man.
40:22Who's got the most heart
40:24and who's got the most resiliency left in their bodies?
40:27Whatever sport you're into,
40:28if it's extra time and then soccer, football,
40:31if it's overtime, if it's the bottom of the ninth,
40:33whatever it is that you're into,
40:34you can understand the importance of these two
40:37in their fifth match of a best of five series.
40:40Wow.
40:41Elbows to the jaw.
40:46Ooh.
40:47Wow.
40:48Knocked something right out of Draggle.
40:50Who will have the walk-off hit?
40:52Who will be the hero?
40:55Ooh.
40:56Brother, this is war.
40:59Oh!
41:00Beautifully done.
41:01Signature move by Draggle,
41:02but notice where Aerostar is,
41:04right on the ropes,
41:05not in the middle of the ring.
41:06Exactly, but he is knocked out.
41:08We've seen this in boxing or MMA millions of times.
41:10When you're knocked out, it's almost near the end, bro.
41:14Draggle barely gets to his feet.
41:16We've seen this before.
41:17The dragon's lair, the tale of the dragon 2.
41:20Draggle wins!
41:21Draggle wins!
41:22Draggle wins!
41:28After a huge career-defining series,
41:32Draggle comes back after being down
41:35and finally wins the fifth match
41:37in the best-of-five series,
41:38and now the unique opportunity from our owner
41:41is the prize that we're all waiting for.
41:43Aerostar gave it his all, brother.
41:45He gave it his all.
41:46He gave it his heart and soul,
41:48physically, emotionally, and spiritually,
41:50but it wasn't enough.
41:52I've been waiting for this for months,
41:54like you have, Matt,
41:55and the respect of these two luchadors
41:57has been the subplot,
41:58and after you go through war with someone,
42:00you have to respect what they can give you,
42:03and this is what Draggle is showing.
42:05This is the honor and pride of Lucha Libre,
42:07the honor and pride of Mexico,
42:09and it deserves an ovation.
42:18Back there is some good lucha, folks.
42:24Under those masks, those are men with honor.
42:28A lot of humanity,
42:29a lot of character being shown here.
42:31Kids at home wanting to get into this business,
42:33pay attention to what you're seeing here.
42:35It's not about the victory.
42:36Right now, it's about Dario Cueto's unique opportunity.
42:40And that's not just a buzzword.
42:42Dario Cueto has been a man of his word
42:44since Lucha Underground debuted.
42:46Draggle, you've impressed El Jefe very much,
42:52so for this unique opportunity,
42:55I'm gonna give you the biggest prize I can offer.
43:01A shot against Prince Puma
43:03for the Lucha Underground Championship!
43:12But there is one little catch.
43:17If you don't win the Lucha Underground Championship,
43:20you will be banned from my temple forever!
43:24Well, here in Lucha Underground,
43:26where victories earn you opportunities,
43:29Dario Cueto has put his little spin on it.
43:33You heard it from the owner,
43:35and now Draggle is torn.
43:37The greatest opportunity in his career
43:39to become Lucha Underground Champion,
43:41but Dario said if Draggle fails,
43:44he will never see Draggle again here in the temple.
