Lucha Underground: Episode 19


Episode 19

aired: 2015/3/18


 A great feud-reminding video package making us ready for the episode.

Aerostar/Drago was awesome. They got enough time and damn sure they used it to the maximum. They even did some submission work the beginning. The match did have a flaw or two, but no biggie there really.

KONNAN~ is playing chess with Puma. Konnan talks strategies. Konnan is smacking some wannabe thugs with his brand new cane. Konnan! Best video ever. Cage is fucked.

Cuerno is cruisin'.

Ryck/Crew was an amazing conclusion to their heated feud, just a perfectly booked piece of storytelling. Vampiro described it as a prison fight, and he's spot on. Shit was brutal, man. Mr. Cisco was bleeding and some very rough smacks were thrown around. Ryck looked glorious. Sexy Star interfered near the end, she was another puzzle of the story. Can't stress enough how much I enjoyed this, the best handicap match ever.

Main event was simply fucking amazing, it was a gnarly and surly lucha tussle. Hard-hitting blasts, mask ripping, Fenix bleeding buckets, brawling all over the place... Just perfect. Mesias was a vicious predator on a mission of ending Fenix's life, and Fenix was an excellent underdog in peril. He was bumping and selling like a motherfucker. What a tremendous piece of storytelling this was, easily the best match in company history. The taping reports were raving about this one, and I did expect a great match, but man oh man, they just blew my mind.

  1. Aerostar vs. Drago ***3/4
  2. 3-on-1 HANDICAP NO DQ ELIMINATION MATCH: The Crew (Cortez Castro, Mr. Cisco, Bael) vs. Big Ryck ****1/4
  3. GRAVE CONSUEQUENCES MATCH: Mil Muertes vs. Fenix *****
