Lucha Underground: Episode 33


Episode 33
aired: 2015/6/24


 Previously on LU, focusing on Aztec Medallions storyline, Drago's victorious return and Catrina choking a match with Drago out of Cueto.

Vamp interviews Super Fly, who wants to get even with Sexy Star for taking his mask. He blames Vamp for saving her from Pentagon breaking her arm. Loved Vamp's facial reactions.

I wasn't a big fan of Sexy Star vs. Super Fly, because I think SF should've kicked her ass way more, and she should've made valiant comebacks, that would've made the match work super effectively, but here she basically got like 50% of offense, which is silly booking. Decent, but nothing more, and at least SF got some revenge on her.

Drago's on the roof, doing Drago things!

Pentagon's in the ring first, scheduled for a match for a medallion. He cuts a promo, saying he doesn't give a shit about gold medallions, he just wants to hurt Vampiro who screwed him over sacrificing Sexy Star's arm. He confronts Vamp, shit got intense and the crowd went NUTS for Vamp. I smell a future match, fuck yes! Penty just walks away from Vamp and the match, lol. He doesn't give a shit.

The 4-way was mostly good, but it did have some dead parts, nothing too bad, though. Cage and Mack did the PWG apron spot. The Mack owned the match. Marty was good enough, his persona fits in LU. Fun spotfest. Vampiro was awesome on commentary, he sold the Pentagon confrontation super well, he was visibly shaken and distracted.

The Trios Champions are somewhere in the gym training hard, however they're still beefing with each other obviously, Ivelisse is still a bitch to Havoc, etc. But here comes Catrina and outbitches Ivelisse, apparently she can make Disciples of Death appear out of thin air using her almighty stone, damn! Mil Muertes comes out of nowhere too. She's like some weird combo of Melissandre and Night King. Goddamn it, Catrina is so hot, wearing those yoga tights, uh oh... She's so sexy with her porn levels of bad acting, I'm in love.

Drago enters the ring for our main event, but Hernandez ambushes and beats the shit out of him. It looked brutal.

Main event was great, MM dominating and dismantling poor Drago during middle portions is what made it awesome, they made the power vs. speed plot work. Drago did bust out some nice hope moves and combos, but not enough to tame the un-dead beast, as Mil would just punch his way out of problems. Needless to say, Catrina was a humungous distraction for me as a viewer.

Puma and Konnan come post-match to confront Mil and Catrina, but from a far distance.

  1. Sexy Star vs. Super Fly **
  2. 4-WAY for the Aztec Medallion No. 3:  Marty Martinez vs. The Mack vs. Aerostar vs. Cage ***1/2
  3. Drago's Ultima Lucha LU Title Shot on the Line: Drago vs. Mil Muertes ****
