00:00What's your deal?
00:01Are you only gonna face guys you've already beaten?
00:03Don't forget, I'm the face of Lucha Underground.
00:06Oh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
00:08Exactly.
00:10♪♪
00:13I wonder why you put me in a three-way match tonight.
00:15Cage and Cuerno feels you cost them the chance to be champion.
00:18So you're gonna let him jump me two-on-one?
00:20You have a claim for the title, too.
00:22Let's make your three-way a lucha
00:24to determine the number-one contender.
00:26Cage and Cuerno working together.
00:28Hernandez and Conan are good friends.
00:31Hernandez pulls this off.
00:32What kind of position does that leave Conan in?
00:34Floats over, two, three!
00:36Hernandez is the number-one contender!
00:39I want this trio of stars to be a very important part of it.
00:42The unlikely trio of the advance to the finals.
00:45There's one more team in the tournament,
00:48and will be no disqualification.
00:55How was that?
00:56How was that?
00:57This team has not worked together in three months,
01:00but tonight it is over!
01:02Here's your first lucha underground trio champion!
01:07I handed you the trio's title on a silver platter,
01:10but you couldn't even beat two losers
01:12and one girl with one leg.
01:14Disappoint me again,
01:16and you can apologize in there
01:18to my brother.
01:21LUCHA UNDERGROUND
01:37Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron.
01:40To what do I owe this honor?
01:42Virgil and I can't agree on something.
01:44You see, I think I deserve to face Prince Puma
01:47for the lucha underground championship.
01:49Johnny, hey, with all due respect,
01:51you had your opportunity already.
01:53Now it's time for El Patron to have a shot for the title.
01:56You guys are probably the best in the business,
01:59and in due time, of course,
02:01we'll each be given the opportunity.
02:03Well, you see,
02:05there is something we do agree on,
02:07and that's that either one of us
02:09is more deserving of that opportunity than Fernandez.
02:12Well, Hernandez,
02:14he did beat Cage and King Cuerno
02:16to earn the match against Puma.
02:18Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:19But he never beat either one of us,
02:21and you said it yourself.
02:23We are the best in the business.
02:29You know, you guys are right.
02:31Hernandez should have to beat one of you
02:34if he wants to face Prince Puma.
02:36So tonight...
02:38it will be...
02:43you, Alberto...
02:45versus...
02:48Johnny Mundo.
02:50The winner gets Hernandez next week
02:53in a new number-one contenders match.
02:56That is something we can all agree on.
03:04I look forward to truly finding out
03:07which one of you is the best.
03:19♪
03:41What's up, everybody? Welcome inside the temple.
03:43This is Lucha Underground.
03:45I'm Matt Stryker,
03:46your host for the evening, Vampiro.
03:48We thank you for riding with El Rey.
03:50I'd like to give a big hug
03:52to Sergio Mendoza,
03:53the orchestra for popping the house.
03:55Tonight, freshness.
03:57The crew looking for some revenge
03:59against those dysfunctional underdogs
04:02who did defeat them
04:03to become Lucha Underground's first trio champions.
04:06Will they get that revenge?
04:07I don't know, dude.
04:08But we should go to the ring right now
04:10and find out.
04:12Over there, you see Ivelisse on crutches.
04:15Of course, Ivelisse injured by the crew
04:17in the trio's title finals.
04:19It goes to show you
04:20how just quickly the tide can change.
04:22But this is a tag team match.
04:24Havoc and Cortez Castro, here we go.
04:27Go, go, Havoc!
04:29Go, go, Havoc!
04:30Power and elbow tie up now.
04:32Both of these guys are deft
04:34and well-adapted to mat wrestling.
04:37Of course, Havoc will have a strength advantage,
04:39but many people feel that Cortez
04:40is arguably pound for pound
04:41the best luchador in the locker room.
04:43Yeah, but come on, man.
04:44This is like a tag team match, dude.
04:46I know what it says on paper, brother,
04:48but Ivelisse, you know, she's hurt, brother.
04:51Back to the action in the ring now.
04:53Japanese arm drag there by Son of Havoc.
04:55Another.
04:56Havoc with the kip-up.
04:57Havoc's feeling it.
05:03It's like an energy bunny with that belt on.
05:05Cover here.
05:10And the front chantry,
05:11the front face lock backing into the corner.
05:13A little bit of dysfunction, and here it is.
05:17These two do not like each other at all,
05:19but they will work together.
05:20Did he just smack him on the back?
05:21That's the way Angelico tagged into this match.
05:30Come to know that Angelico likes to use his long legs,
05:33knee strikes, kicks, as seen right there.
05:39Now Mr. Sisko on the move there.
05:42Leapfrog, nothing doing.
05:43Kick to the gut.
05:44Ooh!
05:45Sisko dicing up some sashi on Angelico's chest.
05:52Angelico is so quick.
05:54Ooh!
05:57He's got to be 6'5", man.
05:58Cover.
05:59And to be moving like that, like lightning.
06:04And even while Ivelisse is hurt,
06:06she's still barking orders,
06:07still an integral part of this trio's team.
06:12Angelico went for the tag,
06:13and the Son of Havoc returned the favor.
06:15But everybody else paid for their seats,
06:16and she's just being a bitch and telling everybody to move.
06:19If the baddest bitch in the building told me to move,
06:21I'd move.
06:22Ooh!
06:23Ooh!
06:25Oh, my God.
06:26Do I have to do everything around here?
06:29Feeling a little bit of, uh...
06:32I'm not sure.
06:33The attitude is different.
06:34The aggression is there,
06:35but it's just like...
06:37they want this win very much
06:41and just feel that aggressive look in their eye.
06:43You know what I'm saying?
06:44Well, we talk about it all the time,
06:46how wins actually matter.
06:47You move up the rankings.
06:49Son of Havoc now making the tag.
06:51Here comes Angelico.
06:52Here comes Cortez Castro.
06:54The momentum is about to pick up here.
06:59Wow.
07:00Angelico, the tallest luchador in this fight.
07:07Angelico now trying to send Sisko in.
07:10Wow.
07:11It was reversed,
07:12but only for Cortez's chin to pay the price.
07:15Ooh!
07:16Did you see that spinning knee?
07:18Oh, my God.
07:21No doubt, man.
07:23Angelico likes to use the knees,
07:24both in close quarters and long-distance fighting.
07:27Very unique luchador here.
07:29Now going for the fall of the angels.
07:31Crucifix here.
07:32Noa Cortez able to get out.
07:34Kick to the gut doubles over Angelico.
07:38Sunset flip.
07:39No.
07:40Slap, break, double stomp.
07:45Cover here.
07:46Referee's down.
07:47No.
07:49Matt, are you feeling the oddness?
07:52It's like they can't seem to figure it out yet.
07:56Havoc and Angelico, you know what I mean?
07:58They were enemies,
08:00and they're kind of forced to be brothers.
08:02You know what I'm saying?
08:03Angelico now creates distance.
08:04Son of Havoc, though,
08:05takes advantage of the opportunity.
08:09Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
08:12That's what you get!
08:13That's what you get!
08:16Son of Havoc still down,
08:17but back to the action in the ring.
08:19Angelico now.
08:20Whoa!
08:22This is lucha underground.
08:24Those moves were suicidal.
08:26Son of Havoc!
08:29Son of Havoc!
08:31Son of Havoc!
08:33The believers appreciate the sacrifices
08:35that Son of Havoc has made week in and week out.
08:38Angelico now the legal man in the ring
08:40with Cortez Castro.
08:42Cover here.
08:43Referee Rick Knox is down, too.
08:45No, brother.
08:46You're like a gazelle.
08:47Just three steps,
08:48and you cross the building
08:49and jump in the ring.
08:51Listen, some would say
08:52that Ivelisse is motivating this team.
08:54Others say that she's chastising the team,
08:55but either way, Angelico and Son of Havoc,
08:57in my opinion,
08:58are doing quite well for themselves.
08:59They're doing awesome,
09:00and they have certainly matured a million percent
09:03since they got those belts,
09:04no doubt about it.
09:05Maybe a sense of responsibility
09:06is blind tag made by Mr. Sisko.
09:09We want Havoc!
09:11We want Havoc!
09:13What a great double team.
09:15Calling for it.
09:16We want Havoc!
09:18We want Havoc!
09:19Matt, you said it.
09:20They're hanging in there.
09:21They're doing great, but...
09:22Angelico needs to realize where he is.
09:24Havoc realizes where he is.
09:25Out goes Angelico.
09:27Havoc definitely did that on purpose.
09:29Shows his sense of humor
09:31as well as his fighting spirit.
09:33Here comes the Son of Havoc.
09:36Bail up.
09:38And that's what he gets for getting involved.
09:40Wow.
09:41Ooh, little thumb to the eye there
09:42by Cortez Castro.
09:43Now Mr. Sisko into the psycho realm.
09:46Flapjack into the codebreaker.
09:48Is this enough?
09:49Two.
09:50He got him.
09:51And your winners,
09:53Cortez Castro and Mr. Sisko.
09:58And Angelico and Havoc
10:00are gonna have hell to pay
10:01when they return to the locker room.
10:03Ivelisse is hurt,
10:04but this relationship is fractured even more
10:07amongst the trio's champions.
10:09On the flip side,
10:10the crew has new motivation now.
10:13Constantly trying to impress Dario Cueto.
10:16Man, they had no choice but to impress Dario Cueto
10:19and put themselves back in line
10:20for a trio's title match.
10:24Still to come tonight,
10:25the huge main event,
10:26Alberto El Patron versus Johnny Mundo
10:29for the first time ever here in Lucha Underground.
10:32The winner will face Hernandez
10:34for the number one contendership.
10:36Don't you dare go away.
10:55I have to admit,
10:56it takes real huevos to come back to my temple
10:58after being called out by a man like Tejano.
11:02Hmm.
11:04So you want to compete in my temple?
11:08That surprises me.
11:10I know who you are.
11:11You're a very wealthy man.
11:13Your family owns half the real estate in Boyle Heights
11:15and many more neighborhoods in L.A.
11:18So why risk your body here?
11:22I don't know.
11:24I don't know.
11:26I don't know.
11:28I don't know.
11:31You like to watch violence.
11:34I like to inflict it.
11:39Well then,
11:41you can have your first match next.
11:44And we'll just see how much violence
11:45you can inflict on Tejano.
12:01Relax.
12:03Hernandez, I don't think it was cool
12:06the way you got involved in Puma's match last week.
12:09You mean the way I saved his title?
12:11Tranquilo.
12:13Actually, it seemed to me
12:15like you were trying to cost him the title.
12:18Since you and me go back a long time,
12:21I better not even think.
12:23You better not think.
12:24Because if I win the title,
12:26I'm sure Tejano will come after me.
12:29If I win the title,
12:30I'm sure Tejano's gonna make sure
12:31it's his ass I beat it for.
12:33Tranquilo, relax. Relax.
12:35Tranquilo, relax.
12:36Now, that,
12:39I would love to watch.
12:41But unfortunately, Hernandez,
12:42there's been a slight change of plans.
12:44And in order for you to become number one contender,
12:47you will have to beat the winner
12:48of Johnny and Alberto's match.
12:50Are you joking?
12:51No, but don't worry.
12:52As far as getting your hands on Puma,
12:55I hope you two can
12:58put differences aside for one night.
13:00Because I have booked you two in a tag team
13:03against Kate and King Cuerno.
13:06If anyone can get you two on the same page,
13:10I know it's you.
13:12Good luck.
13:19The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
13:22Introducing first,
13:24from Beverly Hills, California,
13:28the Golden Warrior,
13:33Delavar Daivari.
13:36Well, many longtime fans
13:37may recognize Delavar Daivari.
13:39And a lot of guys, they leave this business,
13:40they go into other lucrative endeavors.
13:42I mean, it's hard to get rich
13:43selling T-shirts and breaking your body every weekend.
13:46And to the guys that do that,
13:47you're the lifeblood of the industry.
13:48But Daivari went into the private sector,
13:50has a very prominent family here in Los Angeles,
13:52made a ton of money,
13:53but he's back here at Lucha Underground.
13:57And his opponents,
13:59y su contrincante.
14:01Oh, shit.
14:05Oh, man.
14:06There's Tejano.
14:07And if you remember,
14:08it was Daivari that essentially cost Tejano's team
14:12in the trios championship tournament.
14:14This is what you call a whooping.
14:16This is awesome.
14:17I love it, man.
14:19And just like that,
14:20Tejano has been disqualified,
14:22and this match is over
14:23before it ever got going.
14:25It takes a certain mentality
14:26to be so wealthy
14:27and choose to fight with your hands.
14:29Daivari has so much to lose,
14:30and in a blue-collar world,
14:32the need-to-fight mentality
14:34will always win out,
14:35and that's what Tejano has.
14:36Tejano is furious, man.
14:39Oh, no.
14:50Well, Daivari has just made Tejano
14:52even more pissed off.
14:54Not a very smart thing to do.
14:55And speaking of being pissed off,
14:57the Lucha Underground champion, Prince Puma,
14:59is not happy with what Hernandez did last week,
15:02but tonight, they must be partners
15:04to take on the hunter King Cuerno
15:06and the machine called Cage.
15:19♪
15:24♪
15:29♪
15:34♪
15:39♪
15:45The following lucha is scheduled for one fall
15:48and is a tag-team match.
15:51Introducing first,
15:53the team of King Cuerno
15:57and they call him Cage.
16:02The power and speed of this team
16:04will be difficult to beat.
16:07And their opponent,
16:09the team of Prince Puma
16:12and Hernandez.
16:15The reigning Lucha Underground champion
16:18and the number one contender.
16:20Of course, Hernandez' friendship,
16:22longtime association with Conan
16:24is well-documented over the past few weeks.
16:27Hey, man, there's like a little animosity there.
16:29I can feel it from here.
16:30Puma, can we work together?
16:32Well, it goes back to the last time that we saw Hernandez,
16:35Cuerno, and Cage were involved in a three-way match
16:38for the number one contendership.
16:40And then we saw Prince Puma
16:42in a match for the championship,
16:44and it was Hernandez that, many feel,
16:46inadvertently helped Puma win the match.
16:50Drago lost the championship to Prince Puma
16:52that Hernandez was involved in.
16:54And as a result of that, was banished from the temple.
17:01Standing side, headlock now.
17:06There you go.
17:08While Drago is banished from the temple,
17:10these four luchadores are very well in the mix.
17:13These two guys don't like each other.
17:15You can feel it from here, man.
17:18We're so used to seeing the high-flying,
17:20fast-paced, aerial lucha style
17:22that this brawling style is a nice departure at times.
17:26I love it. I love it.
17:27It's destructive, man.
17:28I like when they hurt each other.
17:30You know, I'm not advocating that,
17:33but I do like, you know, it kind of turns me on.
17:39And, you know, in the back of Hernandez' head,
17:41our main event tonight,
17:42Alberto El Patron and Johnny Mundo,
17:44Hernandez will have to face the winner of that match
17:46for the number-one contendership
17:47that Hernandez was under the assumption
17:49that he had earned already.
17:52Cuerno and Puma now.
17:53These two have had storied wars
17:55over the lucha underground title.
17:56It continues right here in tag-team action.
17:59But what's bubbling behind the scenes, man?
18:02How do you think Conan feels?
18:04I think Conan is happy with Prince Puma's success,
18:08and I think that Conan understands
18:11that each and every night,
18:12each and every match, it's sudden death.
18:16I'm gonna say it for the rest of my life.
18:18Conan is worried about one thing,
18:20and that's getting paid.
18:21While others work hard, he just sits there
18:23and collects the dough.
18:24Well, if you win matches and you win championships,
18:27that's exactly what happens.
18:28You get paid.
18:29Yeah, Puma gets paid.
18:31Conan...
18:32So you're equating the relationship
18:33to almost like Don King and Mike Tyson, right?
18:35Tyson went out, did all the work,
18:37and Don King cashed the checks?
18:38You think?
18:39I'm just saying, dog.
18:40Back to the action in the ring now.
18:42Cage has the champion,
18:43Prince Puma into Cuerno
18:45in the basement dropkick to the knee.
18:48Ooh!
18:49What was that from the machine?
18:51Machine dialing it up.
18:52Wow.
18:54Usually someone else answers from that area, Cody.
18:57You know what, man?
18:58Do you see that Hernandez and Cage
19:00aren't even looking at each other?
19:01You know what that means in this business.
19:03They hate each other, no doubt.
19:05We've seen this before.
19:06The stall suplex with the swat.
19:09Sometimes Cage likes to turn it into a jackhammer.
19:11There it is.
19:12Shoulders are down, chest to chest.
19:14Not enough.
19:15That was insane.
19:18Yeah.
19:19Come on, man.
19:20You got to dig Cage, brother.
19:21You'll notice how Cage drags Puma away from Hernandez.
19:26Tandem whip now.
19:28Puma ducks, kicks, kicks.
19:30Nicely done there.
19:31A little Bruce Lee.
19:36Prince Puma isn't the Lucha Underground champion
19:38for nothing.
19:40Nice, Puma.
19:41Plus, never forget, we always say it,
19:43we are in his home.
19:44He's Boyle Heights.
19:46The boys are here, right?
19:47The champion, Prince Puma, comes from Boyle Heights,
19:50and that, of course, is the location of the temple.
19:52Here comes Hernandez.
19:55Hernandez on the move now.
19:56Big flying shoulder tackle.
19:59Sends Cuerno down as well.
20:01Wow, I heard that.
20:02I felt that.
20:03That was slow.
20:10Puma helping out Hernandez.
20:13That was kind of weird.
20:15The power of Hernandez well on display.
20:18We've seen this how many times, Matt?
20:22Boom!
20:23Oh, man, that's like a jumbo jet.
20:25A military cargo plane taking off.
20:34Now Prince Puma.
20:42Hey.
20:43Hernandez was enjoying the moment.
20:45You can see the dissension.
20:47Whoa, what was that all about?
20:50Get out of the way.
20:52Matt, how crazy was that?
20:54Stranger things have happened in this world.
20:57I got him.
20:58Puma is hurt.
21:01That shows you Hernandez's mind.
21:03Amidst all the controversy, Hernandez still goes for the cover.
21:05Sorry to cut you off.
21:06No, no, no.
21:07I just wanted to point out to you and the fans real quick
21:09that Puma is complaining that Conan is losing focus on the match.
21:12I've never seen him do that.
21:15Sends Cuerno in now.
21:16Oh.
21:17Keep going.
21:18Hey.
21:19Hernandez teamwork.
21:22I mean, is it one of those things that he just
21:24wants to get his stuff in?
21:25I mean, what is it here?
21:27Now they work together beautifully done.
21:29I'm not sure what's going on here.
21:32When they're on the same page, they are very, very tough.
21:35Talking about Puma and Hernandez.
21:37Cover here.
21:38Referee down.
21:40There's something that's not right, man.
21:43And now you throw the devil into the mix.
21:46What are you doing, big dog?
21:49What are you doing?
21:51Come on, baby.
21:52Come on.
21:53You guys are doing good.
21:56Puma now has Cuerno up on his shoulders.
21:59Went for the kick.
22:00Cuerno dropped.
22:02This is not the first time these guys have been in battle.
22:04They know each other.
22:05They're starting to know each other.
22:06But pain is a factor in this match, no doubt about it.
22:09Speaking of pain, here comes Cage.
22:12Let's go, Puma!
22:14Cage has our champion, Prince Puma, tied up.
22:17Puma flips out of it, catches the arm,
22:19spins through.
22:20Big kick right behind the ear for Cuerno right there
22:24to quell Puma's momentum.
22:26Oh, my God.
22:28Oh!
22:29Hernandez down.
22:30A little bit of attitude at the end of that one.
22:32And right now is the opportunity for the team
22:34of Cage and Cuerno.
22:36They've been beating up Puma for quite some time.
22:38Hernandez has a great distance away from the ring.
22:40Let's see what this team can pull off.
22:42Uh-oh.
22:43We've seen this how many times?
22:44He's calling it.
22:45You know where this comes.
22:46It comes from hell.
22:48Flecha de infierno.
22:49Booyah!
22:50Oh!
22:52Whoa.
22:55Hernandez pulled Puma in front.
22:58And look at Cage.
22:59He's getting it in his face, Conan's face.
23:02Keep messing it, man.
23:03Stick this right up your ass.
23:05Conan is just, like, picking a fight with the wrong dude.
23:08He's in the machine's face.
23:09What the hell is he thinking?
23:14What is Hernandez doing?
23:16Come on, bring it.
23:18God.
23:19Listen, if it's your first time watching wrestling,
23:21if you're watching your entire life,
23:22you kind of knew this was coming.
23:24Hernandez just kicked his partner,
23:26the Lucha Underground champion, mind you.
23:28Hernandez...
23:29Oh!
23:30Jesus.
23:31Oh, my God.
23:32Hernandez is one win away from being the number-one contender,
23:35and Conan realizes that Hernandez
23:38is on the wrong side of the law now.
23:40You have to know what you want.
23:43Wow.
23:49Right now, there's still a match going on.
23:53Hernandez is taking a walk.
23:55That leaves Prince Puma all by his lonesome,
23:58and Cage is there to pick the pieces.
24:01Hernandez is bailed.
24:03Hang on, weapon X here.
24:06If Cage makes this, you have to believe
24:08that our champion is gonna be pinned in tag team action.
24:11That's exactly what has happened.
24:13Here are your winners, King Cuerno,
24:17and they call him...
24:19Cage.
24:26When you look back in the record books,
24:28it'll go down as a victory for Cage and King Cuerno.
24:31Hernandez has made a statement here tonight,
24:33but will he get a shot at Prince Puma,
24:35or will it be either Johnny Mundo or Alberto El Patron?
24:38One of the biggest matches we have ever had
24:40on Lucha Underground.
24:41Their match is next.
24:48You can't stop me.
24:49I will not let you suffer the same fate as your parents.
24:57I won't.
24:58If you can take me down, you can leave.
25:01You can't stop me.
25:03I will not let you suffer the same fate as your parents.
25:10I won't.
25:11If you can take me down, you can leave.
25:32Your parents were defenseless,
25:34but you will never be...
25:36if you stay.
25:38Your parents were defenseless,
25:39but you will never be...
25:41if you stay.
26:08Mario Campion Gomez!
26:14The following lucha is scheduled for one fall,
26:17and the winner will fight Hernandez the following week
26:20to determine who will be the number one contender
26:23for the Lucha Underground Championship.
26:28Introducing first,
26:30from San Luis Potosi,
26:34Alberto El Patron!
26:41Many luchadores have graced the temple,
26:44but perhaps none greater than that man right there,
26:48the AAA Mega Champion,
26:50Alberto El Patron is here,
26:53only on Lucha Underground.
26:56The winner of this match will have the opportunity
26:58to become number one contender
26:59for the Lucha Underground Championship.
27:03That opportunity presents itself for Alberto El Patron.
27:08This match is all about becoming Lucha Underground Champion,
27:12and right now, the winner of this match
27:14will be two steps away.
27:16Hypothetically, he could unify the championships.
27:20This is not about the AAA Mega Championship.
27:23This tonight is about the Lucha Underground Championship.
27:34Come on!
27:44And his opponent,
27:46from Los Angeles, California,
27:50Johnny Mundo!
27:56Since Lucha Underground came on the air,
27:59this man has been in constant pursuit
28:02of the Lucha Underground title,
28:04and tonight is no different.
28:06One of the biggest matches we have ever had here
28:08in Lucha Underground is up next.
28:10Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron!
28:13Don't you dare go away!
28:15Mundo! Mundo! Mundo!
28:26Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
28:28Vamp, you and I talked about this earlier in the day.
28:31When Johnny Mundo arrived here to Lucha Underground,
28:34he was a premier name.
28:36Alberto El Patron shows up,
28:38and few guys have a resume that can shadow Mundo's.
28:41You have to wonder if Johnny's ego
28:43might just be slightly bruised.
28:45No, there's no doubt about it, man.
28:47Just say it like you feel it, man.
28:49Deep end to the pool, let's dive in.
28:50Collar and elbow tie-up.
28:51Patron on the left, Johnny Mundo on the right.
28:53Patron captures Johnny's left arm into the wrist lock.
28:56Johnny rolls to release the pressure,
28:58goes to the standing side headlock.
29:00Right there, switches out, headlock takeover.
29:03Wow.
29:04Very, very authentic judo-looking throw and sit down there.
29:09Johnny gets right back up to his feet
29:11and now sends Alberto in.
29:12On the move, shoulder tackle sends Johnny down.
29:15Alberto creates a little bit of space.
29:18Yeah, Alberto, a little respectful.
29:20He's feeling it, too.
29:21Johnny, I'm surprised he didn't roll out to catch his win,
29:23but, hey, battle of the eagles here.
29:27Of course, Vamp, you know,
29:28if you've been in this industry for any length of time,
29:31you begin to share locker rooms with guys.
29:33You have budding friendships.
29:34You joke around, you rib each other,
29:36you mess around and stuff,
29:37but the competition comes first and the friendship comes second.
29:40No doubt about it.
29:41Just like you and I, we're buddies, we're bros,
29:43we hang out, we do our thing.
29:44These two guys won't even change in the same room.
29:47How about that one?
29:50Come on, get up, get up, come on.
29:52Come on, let's go.
29:53Back it up, back it up.
29:54Referee Marty Elias with the break, and there you go.
29:56We talked about it, and remember what this match is for.
29:59Brother, it's a chance to get one step closer to Puma,
30:02and don't forget that Aztec robe.
30:04Cover here, chest to chest.
30:06Referee is down.
30:07Ooh, quick two count.
30:13Alberto now controlling Mundo's head,
30:15sails Johnny in,
30:16Johnny with the baseball slide, gets position here.
30:18Nice double leg there by Johnny Mundo and returns the favor.
30:21Alberto blocking many of those punches.
30:24Alberto's back turned.
30:26Unlike Alberto, out to the floor.
30:28Johnny taking advantage of slight, small mistakes.
30:32Matt, you've called it a million times,
30:34getting changed before the show,
30:35maybe even riding in the same car,
30:37sharing dopes, going to the movies,
30:38listening to the same music, whatever it is,
30:40having lunch behind scenes,
30:41but when it comes down to it,
30:43those friendships go out the window.
30:45Ooh.
30:46Nicely done there.
30:48Step-up enziguri, and Johnny disappears.
31:02Both of these guys, international superstars.
31:05Victory here will be huge news.
31:08Cover, no.
31:10Right from the cover, right from the pinfall,
31:12Alberto goes to a wearing down hold,
31:15a chin lock here,
31:16as Alberto contemplates his next move.
31:19Alberto's a pro, looks like a pro,
31:21dresses like a pro,
31:22but man, he's brutally choking Johnny right now.
31:25This is the perfect example of why this hold is used
31:27in professional wrestling lucha libre matches.
31:29You try to pin your opponent, you can't, bang,
31:31go right away trying to wear your opponent down.
31:33Man, when he backed up, I think he was choking him, man.
31:36Oh, what was that?
31:37When he backed up, I think he was choking him, man.
31:39Oh, what was that called?
31:40Pulling his hair out of his head.
31:47Matt, can I be honest?
31:49Please?
31:50What do you mean, in wrestling?
31:51No.
31:52I absolutely love that Alberto is fighting dirty.
31:55I don't like him at all, but I just became a fan.
31:59This is awesome.
32:04Alberto's never had a problem with fighting dirty.
32:06Technical, rudo, whatever it is,
32:08it's all about being champion.
32:10Yeah, well...
32:11I mean, in this temple, of course,
32:13it's a dirty, dirty environment.
32:15Anything goes.
32:16No doubt, you know, and he is a champion.
32:18As Johnny called him out, you know,
32:19he's not gonna just take it sitting down
32:21and being a pretty boy.
32:22Whoa!
32:23Landing on his feet, Alberto El Patron,
32:25and now Johnny Mudo takes advantage of the mistake.
32:31This is my world!
32:32That's why I asked for it.
32:33You deserve it, brother.
32:34You built this.
32:36From day one, Johnny Mudo was rocking it.
32:39And Johnny just may have said,
32:40this is my world, and it goes back
32:42to what we talked about earlier,
32:44about the ego, about the psyche.
32:46Cover here.
32:47Stop!
32:50Dude, he's been here since the first night, man.
32:52This is his world.
32:53Alberto El Patron.
32:54And see there?
32:55Right after not being able to go for the pinfall,
32:57Johnny goes for now, potentially.
32:59Yeah, but he's not fighting as dirty as Alberto.
33:01He doesn't got to hook in and choke him
33:02so he can hurt him and maybe take his life.
33:07Well, that's why you and I are here
33:08and there and there, brother.
33:13Yeah, Johnny!
33:14Pull it off.
33:17If I was Alberto El Patron,
33:18I would stick my thumb in his eye
33:19and try to poke it out just to break that hold.
33:21But that's me.
33:27Head and butts.
33:28Alberto getting a little bit of space here.
33:32How about the fans?
33:33He's tennis-matching it back and forth.
33:35Johnny reverses the whip,
33:36sends Alberto into the corner.
33:38Banderas onto the apron.
33:39Oh!
33:40Johnny miscalculated,
33:41didn't see the ring steps there.
33:43Brother, he broke the...
33:44Oh!
33:45Oh, my God.
33:46The sacrifices that Alberto will make,
33:49the miscalculations of Johnny Mundo.
33:51Those are the stories right now
33:53in this number one contenders match.
33:56Matt, Johnny crashed and broke the stairs.
34:01And Johnny, normally a very calculating wrestler,
34:05he made a miscalculation there.
34:06The ring steps caused Johnny to make the error,
34:09and Alberto took advantage.
34:11No doubt about it, but Alberto,
34:13you got to better look at him.
34:14He's hurting.
34:15Blue as Neo, maybe,
34:17certainly knocked the wind out of himself.
34:19This is awesome!
34:22This is awesome!
34:25The fans here in the temple speak the truth.
34:28This is awesome.
34:29Both of these guys, fan favorites,
34:31and if you're a comic book fan,
34:32I guess this is like Captain America vs. Iron Man.
34:35And if you hate me for that one, I'm sorry.
34:37I just saw the movie. I can't help it.
34:43That was a brutal, brutal fall on the steps.
34:46But now let's see if Alberto can take advantage.
34:48Both luchadores back in the ring now.
34:50Trading blows right there on the sacred seat.
34:55This would knock out a mortal man, no doubt about it.
34:58Those are big boys throwing the big haymakers.
35:02Kick to the gut, doubles over Alberto.
35:05Mundo on the move.
35:07Bang! Big clothesline.
35:09Alberto gets going.
35:16Signature Alberto El Patron.
35:20Look at Johnny's face. He is in agony.
35:23You got to love matches like this.
35:27Wow, Johnny, very smart. I think he saved himself.
35:30Alberto went for the German suplex there.
35:32Now forearms into the kidneys there.
35:34Again going for the German suplex.
35:36Johnny realizes the jeopardy.
35:38Kept the arm and dumped Alberto to the floor.
35:40How crazy was that?
35:47Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
35:49That's what Lucha Underground is all about.
35:53How about that?
35:58It's matches like this, Matt, where I lose control,
36:00I forget where I am, and I become a fan.
36:02I feel like I'm five years old again.
36:04Nothing wrong with it, pal.
36:07Johnny seems to focus his attack on Alberto's back.
36:16Did you see Raging Bull?
36:18Robert De Niro?
36:20Yeah. When he punched that young boxer in the face,
36:22he said he ain't pretty anymore.
36:24So a Jake LaMotta reference from Vampiro, folks.
36:27I'm hoping that Johnny Mundo takes off that Barbie doll look
36:30in a boot or two. I'm just saying.
36:35Ooh, damn. Damn, damn.
36:38That's got to hurt, man.
36:40There'll be very few mistakes in this match,
36:43but one mistake could certainly end it here.
36:47Looks like he's going for some type of...
36:49Oh!
36:54No!
36:59I don't even know if I could describe to you how that hurts.
37:03That is a brutal, brutal, brutal bump to take on your head.
37:07Al Patron collecting himself while Mundo writhes in pain.
37:13Alberto perhaps signifying
37:16the submission armbar is coming.
37:26That's crazy, man.
37:28Alberto has Johnny hooked up, but Johnny spins through,
37:31sends Alberto to the ropes.
37:33Banderas onto the apron. Johnny lands, slides through.
37:37Going for the sunset flip.
37:39Going for the sunset flip.
37:41No.
37:43Johnny ducks the kick. Schoolboy.
37:45That was awesome.
37:47No. Mundo still moving.
37:49Constant movement from Johnny Mundo.
37:52Yes!
37:54And as Alberto rolls to the corner,
37:57Johnny hits the end of the rope.
38:00The referee is down two.
38:02No!
38:04You mother...
38:06Alberto's instincts forced Alberto to roll to the corner
38:09away from the middle of the ring.
38:11Johnny saw the opportunity, hit the end of the rope,
38:13but Alberto knew exactly where he was.
38:16That was insane.
38:20And Mundo is beside himself.
38:22Vamp, what do you do when your signature move,
38:25your bread and butter, isn't working?
38:27You better bite your lip and pray to God
38:29and take the gloves off.
38:31There it is!
38:33The hyperextension. Will Johnny Mundo tap out?
38:36Johnny trying to relieve the pressure.
38:38Trying to ride.
38:40The pressure on the elbow. The arm is hyperextended.
38:42Johnny reaching for the ropes.
38:44How much does Mundo have left?
38:46Oh, wow.
38:48Brother, that is hard.
38:50But he's still got it hooked. He didn't want to break.
38:53Alberto has defied the end of the world.
38:55Johnny has defied the submission.
38:57What's left for these two?
38:59That was insane, brother. This is crazy.
39:02Do these guys have anything left?
39:04Well, it shows you how important
39:06the Lucha Underground title is.
39:08I think this is my favorite part of these kind of matches, man.
39:11You gotta take the gloves off and just get dirty.
39:13But this is where the matches get dangerous now.
39:15I've hit you with everything I got.
39:17Think of the things that they're gonna have to pull out
39:19to beat one another.
39:21They're just gonna have to turn the lights off
39:23inside their heart and be dark.
39:26Man, if he's gonna do damage, brother,
39:28break his soul, kick him till he can't move.
39:36That was not good.
39:38That was perfect.
39:40It's like when you're driving down the highway at night
39:42and you can't see the post, and all of a sudden
39:44your car hits it and you just stop dead.
39:50Johnny Mundo now taking advantage
39:52of circumstance.
39:54He's certainly favoring that arm.
39:56What does Johnny have to do?
40:01Big top rope double stomp.
40:03Is this it?
40:05One, two, three.
40:07Oh, that was close.
40:09Matt, Johnny has an injured left knee,
40:12an injured left arm.
40:14There's no gas left in the tank.
40:16These two guys have put it all out on the ring.
40:19Alberto El Patron is just saying,
40:21what the hell do I gotta do here?
40:23You saw Alberto's hands trembling.
40:32The broken stairs, the broken bodies,
40:35the broken bones, and the cheering fans.
40:37Only here in Lucha Underground.
40:41Oh, my God.
40:43Back to the injured arm that we talked about.
40:45Johnny rolled through from the kick,
40:47using the ropes.
40:49Alberto rolls through.
40:51Too much, too much, too much.
41:04We talked about how two of the very best
41:06counter wrestlers in the world
41:08would need to pull out all the stock.
41:10It was going to be a mistake that was going to
41:12bring the end of this match.
41:14Alberto El Patron took advantage,
41:16and now Alberto El Patron is one step away
41:19from becoming number one contender
41:21for the Lucha Underground title.
41:23Totally insane, totally insane.
41:25I don't know if Alberto's going to be able
41:27to recover in time to face the Mount Hernandez
41:29because, you know what?
41:30He might have bitten off more than he can chew.
41:32The old saying is, why worry about tomorrow
41:34when tomorrow will bring enough worry of its own?
41:37While Hernandez will face Alberto El Patron tonight,
41:41we saw a classic for Vampiro on Matt Striker.
41:45We say thank you to these two.
41:47Thank you to all of you watching at home.
41:49This is Lucha Underground.
42:07Death is defined as the permanent end of something.
42:12But for you, death is the beginning of a new life.
42:22The time for sleep is over, Pascual Mendoza.
42:30A thousand deaths are coming for them.
42:33And now, there is nothing dead or alive that can stop you.
42:38Rise again as Mil Muertes.
