Lucha Underground: Episode 26


Episode 26

aired: 2015/5/6


 Previously on LU. Damn, I could watch that Angelico dive all day long. It's made for highlight reels. Dario's office, both Alberto and Mundo complain about Hernandez having the title shot and they both want a match, so Dario books them for main event, winner faces Shaun next week in a NEW No. 1 contender's match. Great, highly cinematic segment.

The opener was good, I loved Ivelisse (hot legs, fuck!) yelling ringside all the time, it was fun annoying. Also, very consistent within her character traits. Angelico uses his knees in very creative ways, like no one else in wrestling today. Cisco was awesome too. Really neat tag action that set up the Trios Title rematch.

Dario's office, there sits Daivari and he's being a total 101 douche. Probably hanging on Twitter, that douche. Dario books him against Texano tonight.


Locker room, Konnan is konnaning and trying to bury the hatchet between Puma and Shaun, it felt like separating two rabid dogs. Here comes Dario and books Puma and Shaun in a tag team match, against Cage and Cuerno. Awesome segment.

Daivari/Texano didn't even last for 10 seconds as Texano got himself DQed. Melissa dropping the SHIT bomb as Texano was storming to the ring furiously was hilarious.

CuernoCage/PumaShaun was really good, I'd like to see Cuerno and Cage teaming together more frequently, if possible of course. They look like a great duo. Puma and Shaun were on and off when it comes to be on the same page, mostly because Shaun was a total shitcunt, and it was only a matter of time before turning on Puma. Good storytelling.

BLACK LOTUS TIME! Hell yeah! She thinks she's ready but quickly changes her mind after not being able to hit El Dragon Azteca even once. His voice is mesmerizing. I love this angle, such an amazing presentation. They're hyping up MATANZA~ like a motherfucker.


Alberto/Mundo was fantastic, they really hit each other hard on multiple occasions and went balls-to-walls in telling a story about competition and bragging rights. I loved, loved, LOVED the closing stretch, it was highly dramatic and exciting, not to mention the amazing finish. Excellent finish.

We get one last segment to cap off this great episode. And holy shit, Catrina is BACK! And it seems she's bringing Mil "Pasqual Mendoza" Muertes with her. That's so groovy. Apparently she's the Melissandre of Lucha Underground, that's so awesome. Amazing ending.

  1. Cortez Castro & Mr. Cisco vs. Son of Havoc & Angelico ***1/2
  2. Delavar Daivari vs. Texano Jr. N/A
  3. King Cuerno & Cage vs. Prince Puma & Hernandez ***1/2
  4. Alberto el Patron vs. Johnny Mundo ****1/4
