They went to the ring where the crew that attacked Johnny Mundo and Prince Puma were in the middle of cutting a promo. Cortes Castro (Ricky Reyes) ripped on the crowd telling them to shut up and that the only name they need to remember is his. Cisco (Lil’ Cholo) then introduced himself. The former Ezekiel Jackson told the audience to shut up and listen and said his name is Big Rick. He already showed more charisma here then his entire WWE ECW run. He said that last week, Johnny Mundo found out exactly who he is.
Mundo (John Morrison) hit the ring and caught Cisco with a double leg takedown. Castro attacked him and they brawled in the corner. Mundo drilled Cisco with a big boot and then went for a lariat but Castro avoided it and slid to the outside. Castro grabbed a chair at ringside, as did Cisco. Rick watched from the stands. Just as they were about to attack Mundo, Prince Puma hit the ring to even up both sides. Lucha Underground promoter and owner Dario Cueto told them to stop and said that if they were going to beat the hell out of each other, they might as well do it officially and ordered a referee sent to the ring.
Johnny Mundo & Prince Puma vs. Cortes Castro & Cisco
Castro and Puma started out. Puma ducked a clothesline and used a series of flips to take him out. He took out Cisco as well. Castro tried to nail him but was drilled with a kick. Puma worked him over with right hands. He tagged out to Mundo and the two double teamed him with kicks and a pair of enziguiris for a two count. Mundo began stomping the hell out of Castro. There was some good back and forth action as Mundo worked over Castro.
Mundo went for a springboard move but the ropes were shaken and he crashed and burned. Cisco nailed a back senton splash for a two count. Castro nailed a big clothesline and aggressively went after Mundo’s face, raking at his nose and eyes. Mundo and Cisco double-teamed Mundo as Big Rick sat on the stairs smoking a cigar.
Puma tried to rally the audience as Castro continued to work over Mundo. Mundo finally avoided his opponents and made the hot tag to Puma. Puma hit some hot offense that popped the crowd and scored a two count on Cisco after a combination clothesline and neckbreaker. Puma hit a standing shooting star on Cisco but Castro broke it out. Mundo nailed a rana on Castro. He went for a spinning dive to the outside but missed.
Cortes and Cisco worked over Puma with a pair of kicks but Puma kicked out at the last minute. Mundo nailed a cutter on Cisco and Mundo nailed Moonlight Drive but Cisco kicked out at the last minute. Puma nailed an awesome drive on Castro to the outside.
Puma and Mundo nailed dropkicks on their opponents and went to the top rope in stereo. They nailed stereo 450 splashes and scored synchronized pinfall.
Your winner, Johnny Mundo & Prince Puma!
Fun tag team match that was a mixture of hot highspots, stiff kicks and some fast paced wrestling. This was designed to make the audience lose their breath and did a nice job of it.
Prince Puma and Mundo embraced after the match.
Somewhere backstage, Konnan tells Prince Puma that he was right and was everything people were talking about. He tells Puma that he is Lucha Underground. Konnan tells Puma that he needs to stay away from Johnny Mundo. He said that Mundo’s fight isn’t his fight and that Mundo isn’t his friend. He said that in this business, Puma’s only friend is Konnan. He asks Puma if he understands and Puma sadly shakes his head. They leave the building.
Matt Striker and Vampiro noted that Dario Cueto has brought in a new Luchadore to take out Blue Demon Jr. Striker said that his name is Mil Muertes, which translates into “A Thousand Deaths.” Vampiro said that he is a scary dude and they are going to look into his backstory right now.
They went to a vignette voiced over by the former Maxine in NXT. She warned that 1000 Deaths are coming. It was shot to look like a horror movie trailer.
Son of Havok & Ivelisse vs. Chavo Guerrero & Sexy Star
Vampiro noted that other promotions won’t let the women mix it up with the men, but this is 2014 and it’s “equal opportunity, brother.”
Guerrero and Havok started out. Guerrero took him to the mat and cinched in a side headlock. Havok slipped out and sent him into the rope but was kicked down. He grabbed at Havok’s beard. Havok caught him with a kick as they were about to lock up. Guerrero rebounded off the ropes but Ivelisse kicked him in the back. This allowed Havok to work him over. Ivelisse tagged in and stomped the hell out of him in the corner.
Ivelisse kicked a series of stiff shots but was shoved down. From the mat, she kicked up at Guerrero, nailing him in the head and covered him for a two count. Havok tagged in and drilled Chavo with a series of shoulderblocks. Guerrero finally escaped, dispatched Havok and tagged in Sexy Star.
Star nailed a flying headscissors, avoided a shot and nailed a superkick. She was cut off with a clothesline. Ivelisse tagged in and beat Star’s head into the mat over and over. Star fought back with chops and Velez nailed her hard with forearms. Velez finally caught her with a superkick and tagged Havok back in. Havok stood over Star and went for a standing moonsault. Star moved and tagged in Chavo.
Guerrero hit some hot offense including the rolling kick Jushin Liger always does. Ivelisse nailed Guerrero, which brought in Star who attacked her. They battled on the mat. Star sent her to the floor and came off the apron with a Thesz Press to the floor.
Back in the ring (and an apparent edit), Havok laid out Guerrero but was caught with a dropkick. Guerrero went to the top for a frog splash, then tagged in Sexy Star who used a forward roll on Havok for the pin. The story was that Guerrero was letting Star gets her revenge after Havok cheated to beat her on the first episode.
Your winner, Sexy Star & Chavo Guerrero!
Good match. Guerrero wrestled with a lot more intensity then he showed last week and far more when compared to his TNA and WWE work. Velez was absolutely awesome. Sexy Star looked good and Lucha Underground has easily made her into a likeable character in just two weeks. Havok looked good as well. As a TV bout, nicely paced and entertaining.
When we returned from commercial, they showed Blue Demon Jr. warming up in the back. A shadowy woman came into the room and tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around, she wasn’t there. She stepped from the shadows before him and introduced herself as Katrina, an associate of Mil Muertes. She said Muertes was sending a message. She licked his lips and said, “A taste before a thousand deaths” and walked off. Demon stared after her intensely as he wiped his face off.
The announcers said we were about to learn more about Prince Puma. They showed Puma working out as Konnan pushed him harder. Konnan said a friend that we would know very well suggested Puma to him, saying he saw Puma in a fight in the Barrio and just when the friend was going to step in and help him, Puma took out his opponents himself in dazzling fashion. Konnan said that as soon as he saw him in the ring, he “knew the kid could fight” and they showed clips of Puma training in the ring and showing off flips. Konnan said he came from a special breed, a direct descendant from the most feared tribe of the Aztecs. Konnan said he’s bringing Prince Puma to Lucha Underground. His past may be dark but his future is very bright. Puma was seen beating on a hanging boxing bag and as Konnan finished, Puma punched it down (think Captain America’s first scene in “The Avengers”). As a way to establish Puma to new viewers, it was fine.
Matt Striker said last week they introduced the world to a brand new Luchadore and this week they would do the same thing.
Blue Demon Jr. vs. Mil Muertes (with Katrina)
Muertes is Ricky Banderas aka Judas Mesias during his run in TNA. Katrina looked smoking in a tight black dress. Muertes wss wearing a black mask with a giant M on it. He held what appeared to be a stone and handed it to Katrina, who then helped him get his ring gear off.
Muertes attacked Demon before the bell and stomped the hell out of Demon on the mat. Demon got back to his feet but was chopped down. He kicked at Demon until Demon rolled out of the ring. Muertes followed and slammed his head into the announcing position.
Back in the ring, Demon reversed an Irish whip and nailed a series of armdrags. Demon chopped Muertes in the corner and avoided a Muetes charge in the corner. Katrina got on the apron, distracting Demon, which allowed Muertes to drill him with a big right hand. Katrina snapped Demon’s neck across the ropes.
Demon used an elbow as Muertes charged him and nailed a bulldog for a two count. Demon was going for the ropes but Muertes nailed him and caught Demon with a backstabber for another two count. Muertes dove off the ropes but was kicked as he came down for a pinfall attempt.
Demon nailed a series of chops in the corner and followed up with some big right hands. He whipped Muertes into the corner and charged but was nailed with a big right hand. Muertes charged and speared Demon. Muertes leapt and brought Demon down with a DDT variation, scoring the pin.
Your winner, Mil Muertes!
Muertes kept working over Demon and took the stone from Katrina. Chavo Guerrero hit the ring with a chair to back off Muertes. Guerrero helped Demon up, then nailed him with the chair. Several referees came out but Guerrero laid them out. The crowd chanted, “Why Chavo Why?” The unidentified Famous B and B-Boy hit the ring and were laid out with the chair. ‘
Sexy Star hit the ring to try and calm Guerrero. The announcers said that she’s known Guerrero since she was a girl growing up in Mexico. Guerrero looked at her and drilled her across the head with the chair, which got a big reaction from the crowd. Guerrero drilled Demon across the back with the chair and posed in the ring.
EMTS brought a stretcher to the ring as the crowd chanted, “You suck.” Demon was placed on a back board with a neck brace as Guerrero sat in a chair in the ring laughing. The crowd began chanting, “Rudo.” Demon was rushed out. Striker bemoaned the actions of Guerrero. They showed the ambulance racing off down the street as the credits rolled.
