Lucha Underground: Episode 30


Episode 30
aired: 2015/6/3


 Previously on LU, with a video package focusing on Sexy Star vs. Pentagon saga and the Trios Champs.

Dario and Chavo are having a sitdown in the office. Chavo is a sneaky fuck, a true Guerrero. Dario's acting was insanely spot on.

Evans/Argenis was good, Jack was good once again at putting over his cocky character. Argenis got to display his skills in a manner I've never seen before, about damn time someone gave him some spotlight. Neat opener.

Daivari and Ryck are in the locker room and Daivari informs him they got a shot at the Trios Title, all they gotta do is find the third guy. Obviously The Mack is the option, but Cage storms in and disagrees, and he beats the shit out of Mack in front of Daivari and Ryck. That was sooo well filmed.


Fuck me, we got another locker room tussle, this time it was Black Lotus taking on the turncoat Chavo and The Crew minus Bael (RIP), this was another extremely well filmed angle. Kung-fu, motherfuckers!

The Trios Title match was good enough, Angelico was the undisputed MVP with all the awesome knees and innovative positioning, as well as that crazy tope in the end. Ivelisse still can't wrestle due to injury, but I'm happy they're finding the ways to keep her involved somehow.

Chavo, Castro and Cisco bring Black Lotus into Dario's office and Dario's very pleased. Black Lotus is in big trouble. El Dragon Azteca's rescue mission is inevitable now, right?

Main event, unfortunately, wasn't any good. Matter fact, it was totally mediocre. It did have some nice sequences and transitions, but overall it was awkward to watch Sexy Star taking the most out of the match and dominating Pentagon on quite a few occasions, it felt so weird because she already beat him before and Pentagon was dominating that one. Logic dictates that Pentagon's fury will lead to him going batshit crazy and tossing Sexy here like a rag doll. Instead, all he got was few holds and superkicks, he didn't even hit the dive. On top of all that, he was about to tap out when Super Fly interfered and turned on Sexy. I don't know if I'd call it weak booking, but it's awkward and head-scratching at least. Eh, at least he won and started the feud with Vampiro, which is something I'm looking forward to.

Somewhere backstage, Vampiro is having a meltdown.

  1. Jack Evans vs. Argenis ***1/2
  2. Lucha Underground Trios Championship: Delavar Daivari, Big Ryck, Cage vs. Ivelisse, Son of Havoc, Angelico (c) ***
  3. SUBMISSION MATCH: Pentagon Jr. vs. Sexy Star **1/4
