Lucha Underground: Episode 31


Episode 31
aired: 2015/6/10


 Previously on LU, with a video package focusing on Mexico being after Chavo, Black Lotus' captivity and DRAGO.

Oh hey, Drago's on the top of the Temple... with the wings and all! So, he's like Batman?

Vampiro apologizes for his actions from a week earlier. Vamp is nice.

Dario's in the middle of the ring, announcing a season finale called Ultima Lucha, also announcing a No. 1 Contendership Match for that event. He also announces the return of Blue Demon Jr. who enters the ring in a suit. To make sure he's not ring rust, Dario books him in a match with CHAVO, who's backed by Castro and Cisco, Dario makes it happen right now and it's Anything Goes. Dario's a dick. The match was more of an angle, as it was booked on the fly to humiliate Demon, also The Crew basically made it a 3-on-1 handicap match. It was proper.

Chavo visits the imprisoned Lotus. Something about the whole Mexico being after Chavo is ridiculously amusing.

Dario's in the bathroom and here comes Drago! He wants to be in that contender's match, Dario agrees but Drago must put his mask on the line. Drago has the worst Spanglish ever. Seriously.

The 6-man tag was good, it was nice to see Pimpi and Mascarita back to the Temple, Pimpi did particularly well as he/she/it got plenty of ring time. Bengala showcased his abilities in a lovely manner. But none of it matters, because CATRINA stole the show, she was drop dead gorgeous. Fucking hell, she's just soooo hot!

And here comes what is probably the greatest Dario's office scene ever, his sitdown meeting with Mundo was amazing, what a fantastic writing and acting, all the cliche lines were glorious. Ten star segment. And the best thing is, next week we get Mundo/Puma in a some sort of Ironman Match! Fuck yes!


Main event was really sweet, it was an exciting exhibition of dives and other big moves. Drago's new gear looks sick, especially the fantastic mask. Good match here. Puma confronts him post-match, apparently not knowing he might not even be the champ come Ultima Lucha, as he faces Mundo next week.

Dario's office again, here comes Catrina with her legendary ghost powers to choke a title shot for MM out of Dario. She's quite good at it. In two weeks, MM is going to challenge Drago for his Ultima Lucha title shot. Poor Drago. Catrina mentions Dario's monster, which shocks Dario. Jesus fucking Christ on a spit, she's definitely the hottest chick in pro-graps history.

  1. ANYTHING GOES (not really): Blue Demon Jr. vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. **1/2
  2. Disciples of Death (Barrio Negro, Sinestro de la Muerte, Trece) vs. Mascarita Sagrada, Pimpinela Escarlata, Bengala ***1/4
  3. 4-WAY - No. 1 Cont. for LU Title (at Ultima Lucha); Drago's Mask on the Line: Cage vs. King Cuerno vs. Hernandez vs. Drago ***1/2
