Lucha Underground: Episode 22


Episode 22

aired: 2015/4/8


 Dario's office. Dario's with Puma and Konnan and he says he wants the Trio Championship to be just as big as Puma's strap, therefore he needs to find two partners to face off against his tonight's (title match) opponent Cuerno and two other dudes he shall not name.

Ivelisse, Havoc, Angelico/Fenix, Aerostar, Drago was good enough, although the parts of it were somewhat silly in the way they gave too much space to their personal grudges at the match outcome expense. Good match, though, Son of Havoc scooped another win and the surprised looks on the faces of Ivelisse and Douche were worth of silliness.

Puma's training, Konnan arrives and happily declares he's already found the partner No. 1 for next week, it's Shaun Hernandez, hermano. But hey, Puma's already found the partner too, and it's Mundo! Tensions! Konnan's constant push for Spanglish is very amusing.

Super Fly/Sexy Star was good. Of course it didn't touch Fly's previous (!) mask loss, but for this situation, the match was totally okay and the announcers sold Dario's nasty dickness very well. Both competitors worked a rough style that was demanded by the angle. Normally I'd be mad as hell about an impromptu mascara contra mascara match, but here it made sense. Kind of.

Pentagon! Bye-bye, Fly! That's what happens when you don't protect the business!

Cuerno/Puma was good, but still it was the "weakest" Puma title defense so far, probably because the actual match was set as a prelude to the next week trio clash (that looks very groovy), and the match was basically one big angle. Cuerno's teammates are Texano and Cage, btw. Unlike in other Puma defenses, this match had that one good old lucha sequence where his opponent dominated him for awhile before an inevitable comeback. I love good rudo workovers. Eventually Hernandez got too involved and Puma didn't want any help from him, he won and then we got a big brawl to cap off the show.

  1. Trios Title Tournament: Ivelisse, Son of Havoc, Angelico vs. Fenix, Aerostar, Drago ***
  2. Mask vs. Mask: Super Fly vs. Sexy Star ***1/4
  3.  Lucha Underground Championship: King Cuerno vs. Prince Puma (c) ***1/2
