00:01Death is defined as the permanent end of something.
00:05Bury it.
00:07But for you,
00:08This is grave consequences.
00:10Death is the beginning of a new life.
00:13The death of Mil Muertes, a birth of Phoenix.
00:16The time for sleep is over.
00:19There is nothing dead or alive that can stop you.
00:22Rise again as Mil Muertes.
00:26Is he coming back?
00:28More powerful than ever.
00:32Let him end the man who cannot die.
00:37What do you have in mind?
00:39Deathmatch.
00:42Hernandez, I don't think it was cool
00:44the way you got involved in Puma's match.
00:46If I won the title, I'm gonna make sure it's his ass I beat him for.
00:49That, I would love to watch.
00:51I hope you two can put differences aside
00:53because I have booked you two in a tag team
00:55against Cates and Guerno.
00:57Booyah!
00:59What is Hernandez doing?
01:01Hernandez!
01:03I think I deserve to face Prince Puma
01:05for the Lucha Underground Championship.
01:07Hernandez earned the match.
01:09He never beat either one of us.
01:11I look forward to finding out which one of you is the best.
01:14Stop! He got him!
01:17Alberto Alpacito!
01:20Alberto Alpatron is one step away
01:23from becoming number one contender.
01:25What the hell is Johnny Mundo doing?
01:27Oh!
01:29Ah!
01:31One, two, three.
01:34Hernandez has just become number one contender
01:38with a huge assist by Johnny Mundo.
01:50Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Hold on.
01:53The Dragon Azteca wants your protection.
01:55I don't need protection.
01:57Maybe not, but if you really want revenge,
02:00do it the right way.
02:02In the ring, the whole world watching.
02:05Now, you and I have a lot in common.
02:08My grandfather was there the day he killed your parents.
02:12I was there.
02:14You were there.
02:16My grandfather was there the day he killed your parents.
02:20Los Guerreros, we hate the puertos as much as you do.
02:25What's up, everybody? This is Lucha Underground.
02:28Thank you so much for joining us and riding with El Rey.
02:31A big thanks to Los Rayobas, our musical guests for tonight,
02:34and Vamp, a huge double main event on this evening's show.
02:38We'll see you next time.
02:40We'll see you next time.
02:42We'll see you next time.
02:55First, Prince Puma puts the Lucha Underground championship
02:58on the line against the number one contender Hernandez.
03:01Big Hernandez thinks he's the only reason
03:04that Prince Puma is still the champion,
03:06so Big Boy better put up or shut up
03:08because tonight he gets that shot at the title
03:10that he's been craving since day one.
03:12And if that weren't enough,
03:14Mil Muertes is here tonight in the temple.
03:17We haven't seen Mil since he suffered grave consequences
03:20at the hands of Phoenix.
03:22Mil Muertes is out for revenge.
03:25For Phoenix to survive, he's going to need
03:27a lot more than 1,000 lucky lies.
03:29If it's anything like last time,
03:31this is going to be brutal, brutal, brutal!
03:35The time for talk is over.
03:37Tonight, we give you what you want.
03:39Tonight, we lucha!
03:43The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
03:46Currently in the ring,
03:48from the cosmos,
03:51Aerostar!
03:53Aerostar, although, suffered the loss
03:55to the best of five series against Drago.
03:58In hindsight, Aerostar is better off
04:00because Aerostar still has a job here at the temple,
04:03whereas Drago has been banished.
04:06Of course, Drago failed to capture the Lucha Underground title,
04:09and that led to Drago's demise.
04:11And his opponent,
04:13from Los Angeles, California,
04:17Johnny Mundo!
04:21Well, Matt, this is going to be the first time
04:23we see Johnny Mundo back here in the temple
04:26since Mundo shattered Dario Cueto's office window
04:29with Alberto El Patron's face.
04:32How the faithful will treat Johnny here
04:35is a very interesting subplot.
04:37Matt, you seem a different kind of arrogant, Johnny Mundo.
04:41Well, we've talked about how you sometimes need a hard side
04:45to succeed in this world of lucha libre.
04:48Johnny Mundo trying to show us and the believers
04:51that there are two sides to this superstar.
04:56The believers in the temple
04:58appreciate all the efforts of the luchadores,
05:00but perhaps none more than what Aerostar has shown us
05:03over the past few months.
05:05Here we go, the opening contest
05:07on this week's edition of Lucha Underground.
05:09On the left, Aerostar on the right.
05:11Vamp, we've seen Aerostar enjoy a speed and tactical advantage,
05:15but Johnny Mundo is one of the best wrestlers,
05:18best luchadores in the world.
05:20Who do you give the early advantage to?
05:22Well, I definitely give the early and only advantage to Johnny.
05:25I'm sorry to say, but he's converting into a fan,
05:27and I think he's going to whoop his ass, but good.
05:29Johnny well-versed in many different styles
05:32and mixed martial arts,
05:34traditional American pro wrestling, lucha libre,
05:36Johnny is really going to be very interesting
05:39to watch in this match.
05:41Great wrestling right there.
05:43A little bit rough.
05:45You get a shot at Johnny's face,
05:47looks like he's sporting a shine or a black eye.
05:49Johnny's been taking a lot more fights,
05:51different than wrestling matches, fights.
05:53That's what I like to see,
05:55stomping a guy's head when he's got it on the mat.
05:58It's always a good thing.
06:01But do you think that Johnny having a bad attitude
06:04that might affect his focus?
06:06Well, throughout Johnny's career,
06:08the one knock on him has been that he's too nice of a guy,
06:11and that's been the glass ceiling for a guy like Johnny Mundo.
06:14But now, no pun intended,
06:16shattering the window of Dario's office
06:18may have shattered the glass ceiling for Johnny Mundo.
06:20Very well put, man.
06:22Nicely done there by Aristar to escape the headlock now.
06:24Aristar's height coming into play there.
06:26Tilt the wall, head scissor.
06:28Wow.
06:30Back again, Aristar.
06:36You got to be careful, man.
06:38Johnny Mundo's been around a lot longer than Arrow.
06:42Nicely done there, great modification.
06:45And now Aristar has Johnny placed.
06:47Arrow uses his environment very well.
06:49Cover here, is it enough?
06:51No, still very early in this match.
06:53Matt, a guy who can adapt and use his environment
06:55to his advantage during a fight
06:57is always going to come out on top.
06:59Aristar has not let up since he has gained the offense here.
07:03Johnny trying to quell Aristar's momentum.
07:06Interesting there, nice trip.
07:08And back to what you alluded to earlier,
07:11just that stomping.
07:13Yeah, hey, man, takes the fight.
07:15Anytime you want to stomp a guy's head into the ground,
07:17that changes things.
07:23Wow.
07:25Well, he certainly knocked the weight
07:27the hell out of the ring with that, Matt.
07:32But you know what, the fans appreciate Johnny.
07:34Any way you can take him, man, he is what he is.
07:36Nicely done there by Aristar.
07:38Awesome.
07:40And now an opportunity for the man from the cosmos.
07:43Aristar will fly!
07:47Throwing fate into the wind.
07:49Caution into the wind, as they would say, Matt.
07:51Mundo! Mundo! Mundo!
07:54Mundo! Mundo! Mundo!
07:56Rebegins his count.
07:58Luchadores have till 10 to get into the ring.
08:00Mundo in.
08:02Aristar still on the outside.
08:04Johnny's kind of rocked.
08:06I think he took this one for granted, maybe.
08:08Ooh!
08:12Kicked him in the knee.
08:15Whoo!
08:17And it seems that this ground-and-pound strategy
08:20for Mundo has been effective in this match.
08:22No doubt.
08:24It looks like he's taking a grounding and pounding himself
08:26with that black eye.
08:28Where that came from, no clue.
08:30Johnny's changed.
08:32Well, Lucha Underground title hunt will do that to you.
08:34After being a nice guy for so long.
08:36Wow.
08:38Boyle Heights and this temple will do that to you, Matt.
08:41Ooh!
08:43Johnny pleased with himself.
08:45Go for the pin, brother.
08:47You know, Johnny's style hasn't changed,
08:49just his attitude has changed.
08:51Cover here, referee is down 2 and 3 quarters.
08:53Hey, man, but attitude is everything.
08:55Now Mundo hooks both legs. No.
08:59Johnny staying on top of Aristar.
09:01Two covers not enough, going right back to the pounding.
09:04Aristar's, like, on dum-dum street right now
09:06by the looks of things.
09:08Keeping the left wrist captured, Johnny Mundo.
09:10Ooh!
09:12Johnny now trying to manipulate.
09:14Nice takedown there by Mundo.
09:16And again, back to this MMA ground-and-pound style.
09:19Do you know he's not...
09:21You see that he's not hitting him with his fist?
09:23He's using a lot of forearm and elbow there.
09:25That hurts.
09:27The point of the elbow can split the skin.
09:29Cover here with the arms compromise.
09:31That's unique.
09:33Wow.
09:35Looks like he's going for a modified submission there.
09:37Very snug.
09:39An anaconda vice of sorts.
09:41The way he's laying his body across like that,
09:43we do that in judo all the time.
09:45He's choking him out.
09:47As you can see, he's got all this pressure,
09:49his body weight on his neck.
09:51Johnny forced to break the hold.
09:53There is a drinking game for every time I say,
09:55brother, did you know that?
09:57People just hit shots.
09:59So brother, brother, brother, brother, brother.
10:01So I'm told.
10:03Aristar needs to try to incorporate more lucha libre
10:05into his style of the ground
10:07and pound is very effective.
10:09But you have to remember that we're here in the temple.
10:11This is lucha underground,
10:13and Aristar embodies the style.
10:15So let's see what Aristar has left in the tank.
10:17Arrow on the move.
10:19Now ducks the clothesline using the roots of momentum
10:21to pass by Aristar.
10:23Now showing some of the luchaness.
10:25Did you just say luchaness?
10:27Nicely done by Aristar.
10:29Floats over.
10:31Cover here.
10:33The first arm of Johnny Mundo was left alone,
10:35and that's the arm Johnny used to kick out with.
10:37Johnny's been getting cut down lately.
10:39You know, with the eye, the knee, the arm.
10:41Do you think it's starting to take its toll
10:43and it's gonna cost him more to get these victories
10:45that he's looking for?
10:47Wow.
10:49Johnny's power.
10:51Uh-oh, he called it.
10:53Matt, we've seen this how many times?
10:55The rapture has come,
10:57and now the end of the world is ending.
10:59Hell yeah, hell yeah.
11:01Johnny Mundo now.
11:03Arrowstar wise to block that.
11:05Ooh, big right hand there.
11:07Not too wise. He's got to eat knuckle sandwiches.
11:09You know what I like about Johnny when he does that?
11:11He doesn't just focus on the head.
11:13The punches in the stomach, the ribs, the kidneys.
11:15He kind of knows how to work it.
11:17Punches to the body, bring your opponent's hands down
11:19and open up the head.
11:21Johnny went for the kick. Arrowstar out of the way.
11:23Hang on a second there.
11:25Looks like he was going for a DDT or a choke,
11:27but Johnny blocked it with a northern light suplex.
11:29That was a northern light fling.
11:31We haven't seen that before from Johnny.
11:33This guy threw him.
11:35Perfect placement once again.
11:37End of the world by Johnny Mundo.
11:39He nails it.
11:41Arrowstar's shoulders are down.
11:43Referee is down.
11:45Johnny Mundo, your winner.
11:47Here's your winner,
11:49Johnny Mundo!
11:53A great effort by Arrowstar,
11:55but Johnny Mundo has incorporated
11:57a new style into his in-ring strategy.
12:01This ground-and-pound style of Johnny Mundo
12:03makes Johnny extremely dangerous
12:05here at Lucha Underground.
12:07Hell yeah, man.
12:09I so love it when I hit it on the head like that.
12:11Tonight's Lucha Underground title match
12:13pits Conan's old friend Hernandez
12:15versus his new protege,
12:17the champion Prince Puma.
12:19Can Hernandez finally be the one
12:21to unseat Prince Puma's champion?
12:23The Lucha Underground championship
12:25is on the line tonight!
12:55Being a junior is very abusive.
12:57I don't care who he is.
12:59I'm not afraid of him,
13:01and I take the consequences.
13:03But aren't you afraid of what Pentagon can do to you?
13:05I mean, Vampiro, if I were a man,
13:07would you ask me the same question?
13:09I'm worried about that this guy's a psychopath
13:11and he's crazy.
13:13And he's running around trying to snap people's arms.
13:15Go, let it go!
13:17Come on!
13:19Tell me about Superfly.
13:21Has the mask match
13:23affected your friendship?
13:25Disco!
13:27Disco!
13:29Disco!
13:39The guy's getting better of the arm
13:41that you let Pentagon break.
13:53Pentagon Junior,
13:55you two finally duke it out.
13:57What happens?
14:01And how did you feel?
14:23Well, sexy,
14:25the job's not done yet
14:27because Dario Cueto
14:29has given permission for a rematch
14:31between Pentagon Junior and yourself
14:33in a submission-style match.
14:35How are you feeling?
14:37How are you going to prepare yourself physically and mentally
14:39for something that's geared specifically
14:41to be in the advantage
14:43of Pentagon Junior?
14:53Sexy, you are a hero
14:55to so many people,
14:57and this woman has changed
14:59the face of females
15:01in professional wrestling.
15:03I'm telling you, you're a pioneer
15:05and you're an idol
15:07for multitudes of people worldwide.
15:09Thank you so much.
15:11Gracias a ti. Gracias.
15:13The following lucha
15:15is scheduled for one fall.
15:17And it's for the lucha
15:19of the year.
15:21The following lucha
15:23is scheduled for one fall.
15:25And it's for the lucha
15:27underground championship.
15:29Introducing first,
15:31the challenger
15:33from Houston,
15:35Tejas,
15:37Hernandez!
15:41Standing nearly 6'5",
15:43weighing close to
15:45315 pounds,
15:47nearly 20-year
15:49Hernandez walks into what may
15:51very well be the biggest match
15:53of his career for the lucha
15:55underground championship.
15:57We've talked about Hernandez's friendship
15:59with Conan. You have to believe that
16:01that goes out the window tonight
16:03as Hernandez takes on Conan's
16:05protege.
16:07And his opponent, accompanied
16:09by Conan,
16:11he is the lucha underground
16:13champion,
16:15Brent
16:17Puma!
16:23For months upon months,
16:25this young, bright star
16:27has been a fighting champion
16:29here in the temple.
16:35Brent Puma will once again defend
16:37his lucha underground championship belt
16:39tonight, this time against
16:41possibly his toughest test,
16:43Hernandez. The first match
16:45of our double main event
16:47is next.
16:53Welcome back to lucha
16:55underground. This is our first main
16:57event. The fighting champion,
16:59Brent Puma, taking on what many
17:01feel is his toughest test to date,
17:03Hernandez. A lot of
17:05experts have said that while
17:07Puma is a fighting champion, that maybe
17:09he's impetuous because he's so young,
17:11constantly putting the title on the line.
17:13Other people feel that Puma
17:15is honing his craft and raising the
17:17prestige of the title by defending it against all
17:19comers. Here we go!
17:21Yeah, but how awesome is that? He's not
17:23hiding behind anything, you know what I mean?
17:25That's great. Puma using his speed,
17:27Hernandez's power.
17:29Oh, geez.
17:31On a scale of 1 to 10,
17:33I'm going to give Hernandez a look up
17:35about an 8.5.
17:37Hernandez will certainly look to slow
17:39the pace of this match down, whereas
17:41Puma, I can only assume, is going to
17:43try to speed things up.
17:45Wow. Basement dropkick takes
17:47Hernandez off of his feet now. Puma
17:49trying to negate the height advantage.
17:55Puma now on the move.
17:59Ooh.
18:01That's
18:03awesome mockery! That is
18:05what's going to be his downfall.
18:07If he spends all that gas in the
18:09time too early, it's going to cost him.
18:11But let's not forget that
18:13Conan is a part of Puma's psyche,
18:15and if Puma can get a psychological
18:17advantage on Hernandez,
18:19Puma may have this match.
18:21Matt, you have been in the ring just as
18:23much as I have, and Conan's out there
18:25shooting his mouth off. If you're starting
18:27to focus and you're trying to win a match
18:29and you got that voice in your ear, that could be
18:31counterproductive, I'm sorry to say.
18:33For some, still others may excel
18:35from constant coaching.
18:37Puma, finish him off, finish him off, right there.
18:39Finish him off, Puma.
18:43Puma now
18:45using space as his advantage
18:47here. Distance certainly
18:49works well into Puma's move
18:51now. Crossbody there. Shoulders are
18:53down. Referee Rick Knox, only a two.
18:55He tried to get it. Hernandez is so
18:57big that Puma couldn't hook him quick enough. I don't know if you
18:59saw that. Puma's quick, he's just like...
19:01Puma will be
19:03wise to stay on top of Hernandez, not
19:05let Hernandez get back to a vertical base.
19:11Series of uppercuts there by Puma. Now the champ
19:13on the move, using the ropes for momentum.
19:15Yep, sorry to say it, Matt, if you're trying to cut
19:17down a big tree, where do you gotta go?
19:19For the legs. Exactly, not the head.
19:21Puma made a mistake there, I think.
19:23I mean, trees don't have legs, but I get what you're trying
19:25to say. I know.
19:27I like that thing
19:29that we have, you know, that telepathy thing.
19:31Forget about the fans
19:33and Puma is for a belt.
19:35Puma, let him blow up. He's got no conditioning.
19:37It goes back to Hernandez slowing
19:39the pace of this match down.
19:41This is what Hernandez wants.
19:43Now, do you think that he's sending a message to Conan?
19:45I think Hernandez
19:47is trying to become Lucha Underground
19:49champion. Whatever message is sent by that,
19:51so be it. Fight back, Puma,
19:53fight back.
19:59Hernandez stretching Puma,
20:01breaking the ropes. Referee Rick Knox begins the count.
20:03Hernandez has him for five to break the hold.
20:05Matt,
20:07there's Conan up there shooting his mouth off,
20:09talking smack. That's about the only thing
20:11that he's good for. But Conan...
20:13Hang on, cover here. Very close to the ropes,
20:15but you'll notice that Conan stays close to Puma
20:17and Puma stays close to Conan.
20:19He stays close to him on payday, that's about it.
20:21A good player always sits near his coach,
20:23always tries to get better.
20:25Prince Puma is the Lucha Underground champion,
20:27let's not forget. Yeah, well, I'll make you
20:29a bet right now, if Hernandez walks away with that
20:31gold tonight, that Conan will be on his doorstep
20:33tomorrow looking for a job.
20:35Ooh, that'll take the wind out of you.
20:37Puma, let's go.
20:43Hang on here.
20:45Puma going for a sunset flip. Hernandez
20:47way too big and strong at this point in the match
20:49for that.
20:51Oh, yeah. Go to school.
20:53Ooh!
20:57Puma counters and rises to his feet.
21:03Puma sent into the turnbuckle now.
21:05Hernandez overhead throw
21:07from the number
21:09one contender.
21:11Just like a bag of garbage on the window.
21:13He ain't gonna take
21:15the bet away from you that easy. Come on.
21:17Somebody better shut Conan up.
21:19Oh, a pinfall victory
21:21here. Hernandez may very well do
21:23just that. Look at the potential submission hold
21:25here now. He's got all the pressure
21:27on his neck. He's pulling his head off.
21:31The hometown fans are finally waking up
21:33for their boy. The neck and the back
21:35compromised here. We've seen that happen
21:37many times. Puma keeps up the energy.
21:41Cover here.
21:43You know, one thing I like
21:45about the challenger, although he's been
21:47in many wars and has a great length
21:49of experience in the sport, constantly
21:51going for covers, constantly trying to
21:53win the match. A very mature
21:55competitor, no doubt about it.
21:59But don't count out the heart.
22:01The tenacity of Prince Puma.
22:03He's shown it week in and week out.
22:05He could definitely take a whooping.
22:07Rock him like a baby.
22:09That's what it's like, Conan.
22:11Powerbomb!
22:13Shoulders down! No!
22:15Good God. That's
22:17200-plus pounds slamming your back,
22:19your neck, your head into the mat.
22:21You got rocked. Not a lot of people
22:23can kick out of that mat.
22:25All the people that he's beaten in the past
22:27and his mouth agape with astonishment
22:29at the fight
22:31of our champion.
22:33He's got a hell of a heart.
22:35Puma's got more heart than experience,
22:37would be safe to say, at this point in the game.
22:39They say ego and pride
22:41collide with judgment. There's no
22:43mistaking talent, no substitution
22:45for Prince Puma.
22:47Boom!
22:49Yeah, well, you get a boot
22:51that's size 15 and a mush.
22:53Wow!
22:55Yeah, I knew it. I knew it.
22:57I knew it, man. I knew it.
22:59You can say what you want,
23:01but in his day, Conan was one of the toughest
23:03sons of bitches to ever enter the ring.
23:05And here we go.
23:09See?
23:11Puma's got a chair. You see, Conan's a dirty bastard.
23:13He hasn't changed at all.
23:15Thanks to him, Puma's crossed the line.
23:17Referee is with Conan.
23:19Oh!
23:21Conan was, is, and always
23:23will be a cheater.
23:25Referee did not see it.
23:27He was with Conan, and whether that's by design
23:29or circumstance, that's regardless.
23:31The point is, is that Prince Puma
23:33has the advantage. The challenger, Hernandez,
23:35is on the floor. Referee Rick Dock
23:37starts the count. Come on, Puma.
23:39Let's end this, baby. Let's go.
23:43Puma, you don't need that guy.
23:45Puma does not need him.
23:47Prince Puma,
23:49the Lucha Underground
23:51champion!
23:53Yeah!
23:59Come on, Puma. Go for it.
24:01And I credit Prince Puma for not leaving
24:03Hernandez out there for the count-out.
24:05Prince Puma took the fight to Hernandez
24:07after Puma took advantage.
24:09No doubt about it, but Puma's got to start
24:11thinking. He's got the tree wobbling.
24:13You know what I mean? It's time to go for the victory.
24:17Ooh!
24:19Hernandez still strong.
24:21It's like a straw hitting
24:23a brick wall.
24:25Well, this is a rookie champion
24:27against an experienced challenger.
24:35Ooh!
24:37Hernandez with the border toss
24:39into the edge of the ring.
24:49Notice that Hernandez wisely
24:51broke the referee's count. He's a smart guy.
24:55What am I doing wrong?
24:57I'm not even touching him.
25:03Oh, no.
25:05Forget about it.
25:07Oh! Smart, smart, smart, smart move.
25:09Puma with desperation,
25:11running on instinct here.
25:15Whoa!
25:17Whoa!
25:19Whoa!
25:21It shows you how important
25:23the Lucha Underground championship is.
25:25It shows you how important
25:27it is each and every week
25:29to show up and turn up
25:31and give it your best.
25:33That was insane.
25:35Was that Lucha Underground,
25:37or was that a video game?
25:39Oh, my God.
25:47He's done, baby. He's done.
25:49That was insane.
25:51That was insane.
25:53And we're not done yet.
25:55Yeah.
25:57Matt, the fans are calling it like they see it.
25:59They're doing their job.
26:01This is awesome.
26:03Prince Puma, cover, referee down.
26:05No!
26:07Wow!
26:09Crazy.
26:11And now you have to start to ask yourself,
26:13what does Hernandez have?
26:15What does Puma have to do
26:17to beat this guy, or is Hernandez
26:19inches, seconds away
26:21from defeating Puma?
26:23Puma's going up. Matt, we've been in this position
26:25many, many times, and when you cross that
26:278, 9-minute mark, it's all fumes.
26:29It's all heart. It's all adrenaline.
26:31Puma going to pull it off.
26:33Oh!
26:35Hernandez all the way. He had the move scouted.
26:37This right here may be
26:39Hernandez's moment.
26:41He's got to take advantage.
26:45Everything Hernandez has overcome.
26:47Everything Puma has overcome.
26:49It comes down right now. Oh!
26:51Go, go, go!
26:53It's flat! Hernandez over!
26:55Two! Oh! No!
26:57Crazy.
26:59Close!
27:01Like everybody
27:03watching this program at home,
27:05there's a gap just like Hernandez.
27:07He cannot believe that Puma kicked out of that.
27:09Puma! Puma!
27:11The kid is a champion.
27:13Even in his final stages
27:15of consciousness, his shoulders
27:17are off of the mat.
27:19Prince Puma is still very much in this fight,
27:21but for how long?
27:23Puma,
27:25he's done that too many times for you not to get out of it.
27:27Go through!
27:29Very close to the ropes!
27:31Too close, too close. Good call by the referee.
27:33Good call by the referee.
27:35Oh, wow. Kick him right in the mush.
27:37Nice direction there.
27:39Puma went for a flying bulldog.
27:41Was able to switch his hips,
27:43but Hernandez is still too powerful.
27:45That's just like a bear when a salmon's
27:47jumping through the waterfall.
27:49Puma was squirming and squirming and squirming.
27:51Hernandez had him, and he planted him.
27:53He's calling for it. This could be it right here, Matt.
27:55First chains of champions
27:57for a guy this size to go to the top rope.
27:59It tells you everything you need to know.
28:01At the last second,
28:03Prince Puma got his knees up.
28:05Wow!
28:07Hernandez took the brunt of it in the chest.
28:09Hernandez sucking wind now,
28:11and Puma up on his feet.
28:13Oh!
28:19As long as that head is up, it is a target.
28:21Oh!
28:23Nice kick to the back of the head.
28:252-0!
28:29I swear to God.
28:31I straight-up swear to God I have never seen that before
28:33in my whole life.
28:35But you'll notice that's the first time
28:37in a long time where a near fall
28:39came in the middle of the ring,
28:41and it came under Puma's offense.
28:43That shows you that Puma has the ring awareness.
28:45He still has his scruples.
28:47No doubt about it,
28:49but I know I'm gonna go to bed tonight
28:51after hearing Kone's voice
28:53coming through my headphones one more time.
28:57Prince Puma.
28:59Oh, smart move, smart move.
29:01Hey, man, it was the only way to go.
29:03It is what it is. This is war.
29:05See, both luchadores with their heads down.
29:07It shows you how exhausted these two guys must be.
29:09Oh, yeah, well, he just chopped him
29:11like a mother-effer.
29:13Push him off. There you go.
29:15Push him off. Push him off.
29:17Puma using his head
29:19as a weapon.
29:23Ooh.
29:31Every time Hernandez rushes in,
29:33it doesn't allow Puma to set his feet
29:35for whatever offense Puma is looking for.
29:37Here we go. Here we go.
29:39Here we go.
29:41Puma's calling it.
29:43Everybody here in Royal Knights or at World Wide News...
29:45Oh!
29:47Does Puma have enough
29:49for the cover?
29:51Still the champion!
29:53Here's your winner
29:55and still Lucha Underground
29:57champion,
29:59Prince Puma!
30:03You can say what you want about Prince Puma,
30:05but the kid has heart,
30:07and with Kone in his corner,
30:09I think it's safe to say that Prince Puma
30:11has a tight grip on the
30:13Lucha Underground championship.
30:17I will agree with everything
30:19you said except Kone
30:21in his corner. Sorry to say, brother,
30:23he did this by himself.
30:25Still your champion
30:27after a grueling,
30:29exciting, captivating
30:31title defense, Prince Puma!
30:33The following Lucha
30:35is a death match
30:37and is scheduled for one fall.
30:39Introducing first,
30:41from Mexico City,
30:43Mexico,
30:45Phoenix!
30:47Phoenix!
30:49Phoenix!
30:51Phoenix!
30:53Phoenix!
30:55Phoenix!
30:57Phoenix!
30:59Phoenix!
31:01Phoenix!
31:03Phoenix!
31:05Phoenix!
31:07Phoenix!
31:09Phoenix!
31:11Phoenix!
31:13Here comes the man of a thousand lives!
31:15Phoenix thought he had rigged
31:17the temple of his archenemy,
31:19Mil Muertes, but Neil has
31:21returned from beyond the grave
31:23and the forces of life and death
31:25continue their eternal conflict
31:27tonight!
31:31Cheering.
31:33Cheering.
31:35Cheering.
31:37Cheering.
31:39Cheering.
31:41And his opponent
31:43from beyond the grave
31:45Mil
31:47Muertes!
31:49もう
31:51Mil Muertes
31:53erode a wave of momentum
31:55and destruction until he ran
31:57into Phoenix.
31:59What type of Mil Muertes can we expect here tonight?
32:02Man, I'm sorry, man.
32:04I don't want to change subjects on you a little bit,
32:05but look at him.
32:06He looks different.
32:08Look at the intensity.
32:09Look at the darkness.
32:10And who the hell are these guys that are with him?
32:14Wherever Mil Muertes went after grave consequences,
32:17he returned with souls of his own.
32:20And he also returned with Katrina.
32:23He returned dark.
32:24He returned huge.
32:26He returned evil.
32:27It's Katrina with the Earth Stone.
32:30Hang on a second.
32:33Phoenix just bounced off of Mil Muertes.
32:35Even Phoenix doesn't know what to make of it.
32:37This is in a brick wall.
32:40Ooh.
32:42Phoenix back in the ring.
32:43Perhaps he's going to try another aerial assault on Mio.
32:48Oh, yeah!
32:50This match was promoted by our owner,
32:52Dario Cueto, as a death match.
32:55The only rule is that pinfall or submission
32:57must occur in the ring.
32:59Many fans talked about the brutality
33:01of grave consequences.
33:03And now Mil Muertes seems to be picking
33:05up right where he left off.
33:07Let's not forget the personal animosity.
33:09Phoenix, Katrina, there's so many underlying things here
33:13that fuel Mil's rage.
33:14He is stomping the living Jesus out of him.
33:18He is on a mission to destroy this kid.
33:22Katrina looks a little bit more dangerous
33:25with these three dudes here, man.
33:27It's like a very gothic feeling right now, man.
33:30I'm kind of like, I don't know what to do here.
33:32The last time we laid eyes on Katrina,
33:34she was leading the procession with Mil Muertes
33:37enclosed in the casket.
33:39And now Katrina back with Mio.
33:43It begs the question as to what role Katrina truly
33:46plays in this man's career.
33:48I told you she was playing him the whole time.
33:52The slow, cryptic pace of Mil Muertes.
33:55Phoenix needs to speed things up.
34:02He just got power slammed right through the temple floor.
34:06Matt, what the hell is this?
34:08I mean, I'm feeling it.
34:09I dig it.
34:09I get the gothic thing.
34:10But what are they doing here in front of us?
34:12They're just kind of skulking around.
34:14The way that these three men are moving,
34:18it's very slow and has an intent to it.
34:21But back to the action in the ring right now.
34:23Mil Muertes is just manhandling Phoenix.
34:27Phoenix hasn't been able to get out of the gate.
34:29Well, Katrina is manhandling these three guys.
34:32She's learning some kind of trance,
34:33it looks like, with that stone.
34:38Muertes follows Phoenix in.
34:39Now Phoenix using his speed, trying
34:40to get some sort of advantage now.
34:42The kicks to the back, not enough.
34:44Mil too strong here, man.
34:46Man, Mil has just come back.
34:48Oh!
34:49Oh, my god.
34:50Nicely done.
34:52What are you looking at me for?
34:54That's a darker, scarier Mil.
34:59The faces of death look over Katrina's shoulder.
35:03Mil Muertes.
35:05Brother, he just tore a tree out of the ground
35:07and replanted it.
35:09Phoenix has got to be like, what is this guy?
35:11Hang on, Phoenix may have been playing awesome there.
35:14This is the first opportunity for Phoenix now.
35:16Let's see how the bird of war can capitalize.
35:19These guys look like they're kind of like...
35:21There's so much distance here.
35:23Oh!
35:26They're like almost disciples of Katrina.
35:28And the irony is that during grave consequences,
35:31where Mil is laying right now is where the coffin sat.
35:35This has to mean something to Mil Muertes.
35:37Last time Mil was on that floor, in this temple,
35:40he was on that floor.
35:42He was being carried away.
35:43But the last time he was in that position,
35:45he didn't have the troops that he has now.
35:48Whoa!
35:49Oh, the cover goes up.
35:51Whoa!
35:52You welcome us into your living room every night,
35:54so let's get a little more comfy.
35:56Holy shit!
35:57Holy shit!
35:58Holy shit!
35:59Holy shit!
36:00Holy shit!
36:01Holy shit!
36:02And Mil Muertes seemingly rising from the ashes,
36:06which is normally Phoenix's M.O.,
36:09He just got baseball batted.
36:11But Vamp, again,
36:12if there were a power meter above Mil Muertes,
36:15if this were a video game,
36:16it would still be green.
36:17Mil, every time he takes even the smallest amount of punishment,
36:20comes back just like that.
36:21No doubt about it.
36:22It's almost like he's taking that power,
36:24that special life force that Phoenix hasn't absorbed
36:27in a very long time.
36:28Oh!
36:29Oh!
36:32No disqualifications.
36:34Mil Muertes is the champion.
36:37No disqualifications.
36:38No count-outs.
36:39Anything goes,
36:40and that plays right into Mil Muertes' morbid,
36:44wicked wheelhouse.
36:45Wow.
36:47He's gonna...
36:48Vamp, is there something about the route
36:50that Katrina is taking,
36:52these disciples, it seems?
36:54They're constantly going around the ring,
36:56almost creating a circle of energy,
36:58if you will.
37:01The rusty cage now becomes a weapon.
37:04Oh!
37:06They are turning this up.
37:07This is turning into part two.
37:09This is even getting brutal than before.
37:11And to capitalize on what you said,
37:13they are going counterclockwise.
37:15I don't know if you picked that up.
37:17Something is going on with the way they're walking.
37:19But Phoenix is going to the top, Matt.
37:23Oh!
37:27Crazy!
37:28Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
37:30Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
37:32Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
37:34Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
37:36This is awesome!
37:38This is awesome!
37:40This is awesome!
37:42This is awesome!
37:44I say it every week, Matt,
37:46and this is what I love about the temple.
37:48The fans are on their feet,
37:49and they know what's up.
37:51Oh, with the no disqualification,
37:52no count-out rule in place.
37:53Hang on, cover here.
37:54It's up to the referee's discretion
37:57on whether he deems a luchador to be incapacitated.
37:59And from what we understand,
38:00Dario Cueto has instructed,
38:02no, demanded,
38:03that the referees be very liberal
38:05in how they interpret the rule.
38:07Again, this lucha is being promoted
38:09as a death match.
38:11And Cueto may be getting just that,
38:13because these two warriors
38:15are beating the life out of one another tonight.
38:17Oh!
38:21Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
38:23Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
38:26Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
38:28No more face.
38:30Goes to the top rope.
38:32Taking a high risk.
38:33Oh!
38:35Matt, this is looking to be
38:37more brutal, more dangerous
38:39than the last time these guys met.
38:41This is something that they're
38:43digging deeper into the darkness,
38:45and they're pulling out things that we have not seen yet.
38:47No, no, no, no, no!
38:49Boom!
38:56No one is safe here.
38:58Oh!
39:06Oh!
39:08Hang on here.
39:10To the top of the pyramid.
39:14Matt, what you doing?
39:18I got to watch this myself, man.
39:20He has to do something special
39:22to send a message to Phoenix,
39:25to send a message to the entire Lucha Libre world,
39:27and that seems to be
39:29what Muertes is fixing to do,
39:31but Phoenix still has got some fight in him.
39:33Oh, no!
39:35Matt, he's going to throw him off the perch.
39:37Matt, watch out.
39:39They are high
39:41atop the temple here.
39:43Muertes looks like he's going for a powerbomb.
39:45Oh, shit!
39:47Oh, my God, look at that!
39:49Oh!
39:51Oh!
39:53Holy shit! Holy shit!
39:55Holy shit! Holy shit!
39:57Holy shit!
39:59Muertes has returned to the temple!
40:01Muertes just took Phoenix
40:03all the way to hell.
40:07I'm not sure if this match is going to continue,
40:09and that's got to be at least 15 feet up there.
40:15This is highly unusual.
40:17What we're going to do here is we're going to take a break.
40:19Just stay tuned.
40:22Somebody open the damn door!
40:32Ladies and gentlemen,
40:34welcome back to Lucha Underground.
40:36Moments ago, Phoenix was thrown
40:38through the perch directly above
40:40our announced position.
40:42Muertes looks like he's going for a powerbomb.
40:46Holy shit!
40:48Oh!
40:51I've never seen anything like this before.
40:55Wow. Wow.
40:57It seems like Mills' disciples,
40:59these disciples of death,
41:01are going to take matters
41:03into their own cold hands.
41:07I can only imagine
41:09after that fall, Phoenix has suffered
41:11at the very least, at the very least, broken ribs.
41:13This is not good, ladies and gentlemen.
41:15Phoenix is barely moving.
41:17These disciples are
41:19feeding the lifeless Phoenix
41:21to the man of a thousand deaths.
41:23Taking the lamb to the sacrifice here.
41:29With a few blips of life left
41:31on Phoenix's radar,
41:33Mil Muertes is about
41:35to pull the plug.
41:39Flatline!
41:41Good God.
41:43One, two, three!
41:46Here's your winner,
41:48Mil Muertes!
41:54And the smirk on Katrina's face
41:56says it all.
41:58Mil Muertes is back,
42:00and the entire roster
42:02better take notice.
42:04Look at Mills' eyes.
42:06A bigger statement couldn't have been made.
42:08Darkness has set in
42:10on the temple.
42:13Matt, there is no question
42:15where her loyalties
42:17lay now, but
42:19she is also in control
42:21of something new,
42:23something dark, and something sinister.
42:31The salty sting
