Holy shit, what a season premiere of Lucha Underground! It was awesome and I loved every second of it.
- That intro to the episode, though! Vamp is back on commentary, but is on meds. Love it!
- Catrina and Mil Muertes are the new rulers of the temple and are doing everything they can to screw possible threats to their authority.
Oh, and Mil Muertes looked badass on that throne.
- King Cuerno vs Fenix was a great show opener. Both guys worked hard, the match had a great flow and the crowd was invested.
Everything these two did seemed effortless. Ultimately, King Cuerno defeated Fenix with this sumbitch and became the new Gift of the Gods champion.
- Ivelisse vs Angelico vs Son of Havoc was a fun 6 minute bout. This was really well done. Ivelisse's booking was believable, both here and later in the ME.
- Catrina and Cuerno have made a deal. Conspiracy!
- Mil Muertes vs Ivelisse was a solid ME. Seeing violence brought upon women makes me uncomfortable, but the booking was done well. They gave Ivelisse some hope spots and kept the crowd invested throughout the match. Mil Muertes retained, of course, and tried to inflict some more pain to Ivelisse post-match, but Prince Puma made the save! As those two had a stare down, Pentagon returned and attacked Mil Muertes. He hit him with a Backstabber and then would proceed to break his arm. HOLY SHIT. Mil Muertes vs Pentagon is gonna be awesome! Also, Vampiro's reaction to Pentagon's actions is interesting and feels like there's more to the story, so I'm looking forward to that.
- Oh, and... 3 random dudes paid 20 bucks to Dario Cueto only to get murdered by Matanza. God, I love this show and Dario Cueto.
What a glorious return by Lucha Underground! I'm so glad it's back! Looking forward to next week's episode!
