Lucha Underground: Episode 24


Episode 24

aired: 2015/4/22


 Black Lotus video! She's writing a diary and thinks she's ready to fight Matanza after 8 weeks of intense training. It's test time, she handles some scrubs pretty easily, but Dragon Azteca puts her back in her place. The anger is her weakness. This was awesome.

Sexy/Pentagon was good. Melissa was enthusiastic at announcing Sexy Star, not so much for Pentagon. Really nice, rough match, Pentagon did not spare her, he was toying with her but then paid the big price and lost clean. Although there is a feeling Pentagon would've won if he took her more seriously, this is still a big win for SS, especially after the mask match victory, and especially considering LU is being serious about the "everyone's equal" thing.

Mundo is flexing backstage, here comes Alberto and mocks him for all the big match losses. Mundo bring the slap incident, lel. They're laying some strong foundations for this feud.

I didn't really like the 3-way trio match, it was just decent. Ivelisse's injury really hurt the flow and many ideas had to be dropped instantly, I reckon. It's hard to improvise properly with a bunch of guys in the ring at the same time. The highlight was Daivari beating the shit out of Texano.

The disfunctional trio surprisingly wins, but wait, there's more! Dario pulls The Crew trio out of his sleeve and books a REAL final match of the tournament. Dario is a dick.

Main event was much better and The Crew boys laid a proper beatdown on the babyfaces. Ivelisse's injury was worked around much better this time. Mr. Cisco was the MVP of the first half, dude's just awesome in brawling, love him. And Jesus Fuck at Angelico's dive, that's the greatest stunt in LU history. The climax of the match was awesome, great finish and fantastic storytelling.
  1. Sexy Star vs. Pentagon Jr. ***
