Lucha Underground: Episode 34


Episode 34
aired: 2015/7/1


 Previously on LU, focusing on Mexico being after Chavo, Chavo turning on Black Lotus, Drago and Hernandez beef, and Mil Muertes winning the title shot at Puma.

Chavo visits Dario at his office and gets a No DQ title shot against Puma tonight. Dario loves Chavo for giving him Black Lotus. Konnan must not interfere.

Daivari/Texano was really good, it felt like a proper conclusion to the feud, as Texano overcame Daivari's heel tactics and Ryck's interferences, it felt like a feudender. Look, their story wasn't much, but if this was a blow-off, they finished on a high note, I thought this was a well done brawl.

Konnan and Puma are discussing Dario stacking the deck against them, but Konnan says not to worry because Chavo is everything but champion. Here come Catrina and Mil Muertes to scare the shit out of Puma. Konnan is still relaxed, he doesn't buy into all the supernatural shit, he says it's all mind games.

Konnan has a plan, though, he's seen talking to a mysterious figure backstage in a locker room, he says it's finally time to take out Chavo for all the shit he did in LU.

Shaun/Drago was also good, but what totally made it work for me was Hernandez scaring the shit out of that fan, stealing his belt and whipping Drago with it, then choking him for a DQ, then cutting a promo about dragons not being real. Awesome shit.

Chavo is preparing himself for the title match, but here come Catrina and MM, the same way they did with Puma. But Chavo is way cooler than Puma and just brushes them off. LOL. And then MM screamd funny. Such a lovely camp, love it!

Marty/Alberto was a squash, but fuck, it was a GREAT squash, Alberto was super aggressive, The Moth tried to fight him back but it was no good, he taped to the cross armbreaker quick. Al berto is a man on a mission. He cut a highly energetic and passionate post-match promo on Mundo. The evil side of el Patron is now awaken, perro!

Main event never really had a chance due to Chavo pulling a hamstring just when things were picking up. Shame. They improvized with The Crew doing a prolonged interference while Chavo was in visible pain. Konnan's mysterious helper turned out to be Texano, who screwed Chavo and helped Puma keep the strap.

Chavo sits in a changing room, nursing his injury. Demon comes but tells Chavo not to worry because he doesn't attack injured men. Demon mocks Chavo's failure but Chavo gets inside his head by telling him how the crowd never cheered Demon the way they cheered Texano just moments earlier. Chavo implies Demon is just a washed up hasbeen who lives in Miami, while Texano is true Mexican. Chavo's plan to stir some pot seemed to work as Demon lost his cool and slammed him into locker room doors few times. Cue Chavo's sinister laughter.

  1. Delavar Daivari vs. Texano Jr. ***1/2
  2. Hernandez vs. Drago ***1/4
  3. Marty Martinez vs. Alberto el Patron N/A (squash!)
  4. NO DQ for Lucha Underground Championship: Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Prince Puma (c) **
