00:00No matter the talent, the reputation, or the flash,
00:05no one is safe.
00:07I'm the boss. Sooner or later,
00:10I'm coming after the gold,
00:12and whoever is carrying it.
00:17Oh!
00:18Big Rick had a hard time seeing
00:20how valuable we could have been to one another.
00:23Now, it'll be hard for him to see anything.
00:28You watch my back, and I'll dig deeper.
00:30Yes, sir.
00:32For the first time ever,
00:33the Lucha Underground Championship belt
00:35is on the line.
00:37When you're the champion,
00:38there is a huge bullseye on your chest.
00:43Prince Puma.
00:44Puma is still your champion!
00:46What a hard-fought victory.
00:48That's Cage running out from the back.
00:50Oh!
00:51Cage has just thrown down the key
00:54and unlocked his fate.
00:55I'm not gonna wait my turn.
00:56My turn is now.
00:57I am the best.
01:01I'm not a man!
01:02I'm a machine!
01:26I like a man who takes the bull by the horns,
01:29but you, my friend,
01:30you take the bull by the huevos.
01:36You sent Puma to the hospital on your debut
01:38and then told the world
01:39that Cage doesn't wait in line for a title match.
01:46I'm not a man.
01:47I'm a machine.
01:49I'm a machine.
01:52I'm a machine.
01:55Wow.
01:57You know what?
01:59You're right.
02:01Tonight, Prince Puma is here,
02:02and he has been informed
02:03that he will defend his championship against Cage.
02:13No.
02:14Tonight he loses his title against Cage
02:18because I'm a machine.
02:22What's this?
02:28Yeah.
02:29Yeah.
02:42Hello, everybody.
02:43Welcome to Lucha Underground.
02:44We thank you for riding with El Rey tonight.
02:47A heated, fiery main event takes place,
02:50and Vampiro, you had an opportunity
02:52to sit down with Conan and Prince Puma.
02:55Yes, I did, and Matt asked me.
02:57It was intense.
02:58Conan and Puma, you got to watch,
02:59but check it out and feel it.
03:01Give what?
03:02Oh!
03:03The Conan and Prince Puma interview is coming up,
03:05but right now, a huge, huge match.
03:08Let's go to the ring.
03:12The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
03:15Coming to the ring,
03:17accompanied by Katrina.
03:20From beyond the grave,
03:23Mil Muertes!
03:28Mil Muertes, who drew number 20 in Aztec Warfare.
03:32If you missed that show, find it online
03:34or go to lreynetwork.com just to bring you up to speed.
03:38And still, Mil Muertes was unable to become
03:41the Lucha Underground Heavyweight Champion.
03:44I have a feeling we're going to see
03:46a different, darker, more aggressive,
03:48if that's possible, Mil Muertes.
03:50I totally agree with you,
03:52but I can only confirm the suspicion
03:54of all the fans worldwide.
03:55I think she is controlling him.
03:57I said it. I called it.
03:58Nobody believes me, but pay attention.
04:00Oh, my God.
04:02She is ferociously sexy.
04:06Mil Muertes, I know he has a chip on his shoulder,
04:09and he's only going to come here and do one thing,
04:11and that's destroy, bro.
04:12Well, you would think coming in at number 20,
04:15of 20 competitors, Mil was fresh.
04:18Everyone else was beaten and battered,
04:20and yet still, as Mil kneels upon the seal,
04:23look at the hand over the eyes.
04:25There's shame there.
04:26Well, what that's going to do is very, very scary.
04:29Mil Muertes! Mil Muertes! Mil Muertes!
04:32Mil Muertes! Mil Muertes! Mil Muertes!
04:35Mil Muertes! Mil Muertes!
04:37And his opponent,
04:39from Mexico City, Mexico,
04:44Phoenix!
04:46Here comes a guy that's quickly becoming
04:48one of my favorites, high-flying, daredevil,
04:51never-say-die attitude.
04:53Phoenix truly embodies the spirit
04:56of New Age Lucha, in my opinion.
04:58Man, New Age Lucha, what a come, man.
05:01Lucha Underground is changing the face of our sport,
05:04not only in this planet, but in the universe,
05:06and you are right. Phoenix is the guy.
05:08Put your money on him. Pay attention.
05:10Do not blink because this kid is on fire.
05:12Phoenix worldwide, from AAA Mexico,
05:15or Pro Wrestling Doha in Japan,
05:17all the way right now to Lucha Underground
05:19is exactly where Phoenix belongs,
05:22at the top of the wrestling world.
05:24No doubt about it, brother. It's going to be...
05:26Well, it's a contrast of styles.
05:28Man, right off the bat.
05:29Whoa! Quick roll-up.
05:31Now, Vamp, the last time these two met,
05:32they had already competed in a match
05:34and were both fighting for seating
05:36in Aztec Warfare. Cover here.
05:38How do you think the familiarity
05:40is going to lend itself to this match?
05:41Well, I don't know. Wow.
05:43Wow, look at...
05:46I mean, is that ill-advised,
05:48to try to go blow-for-blow with Mil Muertes?
05:50Obviously, Phoenix should use his speed.
05:52Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!
05:55Uh-oh.
05:56Still not off his feet, though.
05:58Wow.
06:00Phoenix has no choice but to pull out all his styles,
06:03but that's only going to provoke the beef, dog.
06:05Phoenix is keeping it moving as Katrina pounds the apron.
06:09Bang! Holds out! Wow!
06:11Ooh! Ooh!
06:14Yes!
06:15You can know all the names of all the moves.
06:17That is called a right hand to the face.
06:23And now Mil Muertes stalks a vulnerable...
06:25No! Dude, what is...
06:27Phoenix, Phoenix just keeps coming.
06:30Brother, he keeps coming.
06:31He is a mystical being that will not go down,
06:35and when he does, he gets back up,
06:37and, holy God, Mil erupted.
06:46Big right hand, overhead, belly-to-belly suplex,
06:49and then a spike DDT.
06:51Ooh!
06:52Got the right hand.
06:53Gosh, I could call Mil Muertes's move set all day.
06:57Drop, Phoenix holds on.
06:58Oh, my God, brother.
06:59That did nothing but get the beast riled up.
07:03Phoenix, handspring, Mil catches.
07:05Ooh!
07:06Yes!
07:07Nice German suplex, Mil for the cover.
07:10Referee Justin Borden down, only a count of two.
07:13Brother, it doesn't matter what he's hitting him with.
07:16Something's provoking Phoenix to keep coming back.
07:22You get a shot of the heaving gut of Mil Muertes.
07:25That's all that rage and all that anger
07:28just boiling from Mil's insides.
07:31Mil Muertes!
07:32Mil Muertes!
07:33Mil Muertes!
07:36Long whip, Phoenix taking advantage of the space,
07:39Mil using his strength.
07:42Wow.
07:43And now Mil creating distance as he usually sets up.
07:47Oh!
07:48Dagger in the heart!
07:50Wow, what a spear.
07:52Cover, that's it.
07:56I have not seen too many people anywhere in the world
07:59kick out of that.
08:00I only see Phoenix.
08:01I mean, obviously, the name implies the bird
08:03that rose from the ashes.
08:04Go and Google that.
08:05But Phoenix is that spirit.
08:07He does not die.
08:09And listen to the fans.
08:10He's almost feeding off that energy.
08:12He's calling, give it to me.
08:15Mil Muertes now sets Phoenix up.
08:18Oh, man.
08:20Ouch.
08:21And now Mil looking to end the match, but no leg hook.
08:25And, Van, how is that significant?
08:27No hook of the leg.
08:28You don't hook the leg.
08:29That's universal, brother.
08:30That doesn't matter if 1940, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or the 2000s.
08:34If you don't hook that, you ain't going nowhere.
08:37Mil now has Phoenix just by the throat,
08:40just steady, heavy, thumping right hand.
08:42If Phoenix could get his hands up,
08:44he would defend himself, but he cannot.
08:48Damn, brother.
08:49That's like getting hit in the face with a sledgehammer.
08:52As if one punch wasn't enough.
08:54From this barrel-chested beast, Mil Muertes.
08:58Firmly on Phoenix's side.
09:00Wow.
09:01We don't see Mil go up to the top too often.
09:06Oh, my God, brother.
09:07The dark cloud is about to open up.
09:10Oh!
09:11Oh!
09:12Oh!
09:13Nice!
09:14Whoa!
09:15Nice!
09:16And your winner, Phoenix!
09:21Off of the superplex, Phoenix took advantage of the bounce.
09:24Look, Mil Muertes.
09:26Nicely done.
09:27You called it.
09:28You saw it.
09:29Awesome.
09:30That's good stuff.
09:31Wow.
09:32And Mil is pissed.
09:35Phoenix can't even believe it.
09:37Nobody can believe it.
09:38Hey, man, it goes to show you it's like a last-second shot
09:41or anything can happen.
09:43Mil didn't hook the leg when he had the chance,
09:45and Phoenix took advantage of it.
09:47It was quick, bro.
09:49Welcome back to Lucha Underground,
09:51and coming up tonight, we have a championship match.
09:54As many say, the champion, Prince Puma,
09:56has been baited into a defense against the Machine Cage.
10:01Now let's learn a little more about what fuels the Machine.
10:05I'm not immortal.
10:07I will leave this world the same way I entered.
10:12So I'm determined to blow through every challenge
10:16like it's my last day.
10:20I'm not immortal.
10:22I will leave this world the same way I entered.
10:27So I'm determined to blow through every challenge
10:31like it's my last day.
10:36Any wasted day
10:40is a wasted opportunity.
10:44I have to work for every inch
10:46because nobody's giving me anything.
10:54Nobody's handing me a mask.
10:56Nobody's handing me a cape.
11:03So every day, I'm right here,
11:07where I get my powers.
11:13With blood and sweat.
11:21I'm not a man.
11:23I'm a machine.
11:27They call me Cage.
11:44The following match is scheduled for one fall.
11:48And it's a six-man tag team match.
11:53Currently in the ring,
11:55the team of Arcanist, Superfly,
11:59and Arrowstar.
12:05And their opponents,
12:09the team of Cortez Castro, Mr. Cisco, and Bale.
12:16So as the crew make their way to the ring
12:19for this traditional six-man match,
12:22we've talked about this quite a bit.
12:24The six-man tag team match is such a tradition in Lucha Libre.
12:28Why?
12:29I've been asking that question for almost 30 years.
12:31You know, when I first got to Mexico,
12:33I was expecting something different.
12:35But it just seems like it's been part of the system
12:38for over 80 years.
12:39And every time I ask one of the old-timers,
12:41they say, you know what?
12:42We don't know either.
12:43That's just the way it's always been.
12:44And I'm gonna have to give the hand up
12:46to the guys from Mexico City
12:47because they are more accustomed to this style of match.
12:50Okay, good point out there.
12:51And you'll notice there that Señor Cisco
12:53came into the ring on the side of the Lucha doors.
12:56I mean, that's tough.
12:58That's a tough guy right there.
12:59All right, the rules of a six-man,
13:01the same rules one-on-one.
13:02Pinfall, submission, disqualification, or countout.
13:05Tag in, tag out.
13:07Now the only question is who will start for both teams.
13:10Looks like Superfly stands in the middle of the ring there
13:13in the gold and black boots.
13:16That's Arrowstar, his partner, in the red and blue.
13:19And, of course, the exciting Argenes in the white
13:21and what is that, neon green?
13:23Uh, lime green.
13:25And now Señor Cisco will step out.
13:28It looks like Cortez, the killer,
13:30And you know, Vampiro,
13:32the Lucha Underground title and all the money that comes with it,
13:35that's everyone's goal.
13:36Now, the crew had their shot.
13:38Big Rick had his shot.
13:40But last week, a determined Big Rick
13:42warned the crew to stay out of his way.
13:44And you know this.
13:45You can't sun a guy in front of others
13:47and not expect a receipt.
13:48The crew attacked Big Rick.
13:50Señor Cisco singed Rick's right eye with a lit cigar.
13:54Yeah, you're right, brother.
13:55You can't sun a guy in front of others
13:57and not expect a receipt.
13:59You're right, brother.
14:00You can't call somebody out on their home turf.
14:02It's a longer, it's a deeper story than that.
14:04But here we go.
14:05The match is on fire.
14:06And not avoiding your question,
14:08but I think the crew definitely has something to prove,
14:11and they are not going to back down.
14:12Oh!
14:13Wow!
14:14That is sucker punch.
14:17He was, he faked the solo.
14:20Moonsault from the heavens.
14:21Superfly covers Cortez.
14:23Referee down.
14:24Count of two.
14:25You know, you bring up this Big Rick thing.
14:27If you're a spiritual person,
14:29the old book of Matthew says
14:30if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out.
14:33There's some type of symbolic thing here
14:36about Big Rick and having his eye burnt.
14:38What kind of Big Rick are we going to see
14:40when Rick gets out of the hospital?
14:41Let me tell you about the spirituality of that.
14:43You stick a cigar in my eye, brother,
14:44I'm going to beat the living out of you
14:46and your whole family and your neighborhood.
14:48Not too much spirit.
14:49What are you talking about in the book of Matthew?
14:51In the book of Ampiro, it's called eye for an eye, brother.
14:54It's better for thee that one of your members should perish,
14:57not thy whole body be cast into damnation.
15:00Bible study is over.
15:01We're back to the lucha.
15:02Tag in now to Bale.
15:04Bale, the newest member of the crew.
15:06Get up.
15:07Bam.
15:08Wow.
15:09You fired up.
15:10That's right.
15:12Crazy.
15:13And Bale came out from the crowd.
15:15And while we don't condone that,
15:17of course, the doors are open.
15:18Good.
15:19With a cover here.
15:20Belly to back suplex.
15:21Not enough.
15:23Argenis now, who impressed us greatly over the past couple of weeks.
15:29Tag out now.
15:30And here comes Senor Cisco,
15:31who's all of a sudden kind of assumed the, I don't know,
15:34the hitman role of the crew.
15:36I mean, this is the guy that used the cigar.
15:38This is the guy that also just got kicked in his brown eye.
15:40So there we go.
15:43Argenis.
15:44Beautifully done.
15:46Tag in.
15:47And here comes Arrowstar.
15:49Exciting.
15:50Different.
15:51Arrowstar, come on.
15:54Arrowstar using the rope to momentum now.
15:56Senor Cisco.
15:57Wow.
15:58Great, great springboard.
15:59Tilt-the-whirl heads in.
16:00Cover here.
16:01One, two.
16:02No.
16:03Not enough, brother.
16:04Credit our referee Rick Knox.
16:05Sliding into a count with a busted left arm.
16:11Standing switch, whip, Arrowstar into Argenis.
16:13And this is where the experience is going to come from the Mexico City team
16:16who is used to this kind of action.
16:18Great point.
16:19Argenis now helping out Arrowstar.
16:22Shades of Superfly, Snooker, and Andre the Giant.
16:24Look at this.
16:25No way.
16:26No way.
16:27From way up high.
16:28This is a first.
16:29This is a first.
16:30Oh.
16:32Two.
16:34Wow.
16:35Brother, talk about death defying, man.
16:38Man, that's crazy.
16:42And that deserves the applause of Vampiro kicked in the face.
16:46That's right.
16:47Yes, sir.
16:48Mr. Sisko.
16:51And being impetuous like that, the referee is going to have to get Superfly out.
16:54That's going to occupy the referee.
16:56But it looks like Rick Knox is allowing this to go down.
16:58I like it, man.
17:00Duck, duck, goose perhaps.
17:03Oh.
17:04What the?
17:05What is going on?
17:06Whoa.
17:09Man, this is just like back to the action now.
17:12Bail.
17:13You know what's coming.
17:14You know what's coming.
17:15Sisko.
17:16These guys work so well together.
17:18Man.
17:19All for one.
17:20One for all.
17:21The crew.
17:22Crazy.
17:24That was just a sequence that you're going to have to watch over and over and over again
17:28and understand it because it was so action-packed.
17:31Pause, rewind, frame advance, slow.
17:35Back to the action of the ring.
17:36And of course, the goal is to win.
17:37Cover.
17:38Not enough.
17:39Notice how there, as Sister Sisko dug his forearm into Arrowstar's throat on the cover.
17:43I like that.
17:44I do too, but he should have hooked the leg, brother.
17:47I know what's coming.
17:49This is something that I don't know if it's going to be allowed or banned.
17:53This is so dangerous.
17:54Curve stop.
17:55Oh.
17:56And notice the placement of the foot.
17:57It's kind of like underneath the back of the lung, maybe where the kidneys or the liver reside.
18:01It's not on the back of the head, whereas most people would do that move.
18:04How are Cortez and Sisko working together?
18:06Well, if you want it to work, that's where you should do it.
18:09So I've heard.
18:10Body slam sets Arrowstar into position.
18:14Cortez on the move.
18:15Bang!
18:16Cortez, arguably the fastest.
18:18Cover.
18:24Cortez, arguably the quickest and perhaps the most tenacious member of the crew.
18:29Each one of these three, Bale, Cortez, and Sisko, bring something different, yet something so similar.
18:34It's not that they're interchangeable.
18:36They just have different levels of aggression.
18:44Oh, man.
18:45Not since a Dynamite Kid and Phil LaFleur from Canada have I seen somebody snap him over like that.
18:51Surprised you were there, didn't I, Mr. Scholar?
18:53Hey, man.
18:54I'm with you, bro.
18:55Quick tags in and out, isolating the smallest member of the team, Arrowstar.
19:00Wise tag team strategy.
19:04I was going to say yes if you would have stopped paying attention to the fans.
19:07You're talking to him now.
19:09Oh, I'm answering and talking to him.
19:12Don't turn your back, brother, because Arrowstar will surprise you quick.
19:18Very nice.
19:19These double underhook suplex.
19:21Man, have you noticed in this match, and this is something different,
19:24the Mexico City team is doing all the high flying and the aerial stuff,
19:28but these guys here, more traditional suplexes, strong moves, a lot more violence.
19:34I don't think you learn to tilt the world head scissors when you're fighting someone in the street.
19:38And now this, although is a standard wrestling hold,
19:41it could slip into a choke designed to wear down your opponent.
19:45Wow.
19:48Arrowstar back to his feet.
19:49Yeah, the fans are, you know what, it's the adrenaline of the fans, brother.
19:53Arrowstar was facing his corner.
19:55Arrowstar needs to realize where his partners are and make a tag.
20:00Hey, now the opportunity for Arrowstar.
20:03I don't think Arrow realizes where he is, though.
20:05Bale seems out as well.
20:07All Arrow needs to do is climb about three feet and put his hand out,
20:10and either Superfly or Arrhenes will tag.
20:12Bale tags Mr. Sisko.
20:14Arrhenes is tagged.
20:15Here we go.
20:18Springboard Rana.
20:19Arrhenes now uses the ring to his advantage.
20:22Sets Sisko up.
20:24Headlock, push off.
20:25Here we go.
20:26Drop down.
20:27Arrhenes holds on.
20:28Nice kick to the chest.
20:32Cortez jumps in.
20:34Yeah, that's right.
20:35Chopped the lungs out of his ears.
20:38Clothesline.
20:39Duck again.
20:40Different variation of the head scissors.
20:42Nicely done.
20:44But Arrhenes seems to be rocked a little bit.
20:47Not able to get back up to his feet.
20:49Perhaps a dislocated hip, judging by where he's clutching.
20:53Oh, maybe not.
20:54And if the hip is dislocated, that allowed the leg to kick Bale in the face.
21:01Wow, beautifully done.
21:03Sunset flip power bounce.
21:04Yes.
21:05Super.
21:06Watch out, brother.
21:07These guys got their brothers back in a big way.
21:11Oh, yeah.
21:12I feel that.
21:13I don't care what the fans are doing, Boone.
21:14I really like that.
21:15Can I ask you something, though?
21:16The crew have been, you know, kind of coming in and out at their own will,
21:19and yet Aerostar and Superfly seem to be a little more reserved.
21:23Is it a language barrier, not understanding the rules,
21:26or just respect for authority?
21:27I think just different country, different styles.
21:32Oh!
21:33Double stomp.
21:34You know when you...
21:35Double to home.
21:37You know, it's like a visiting sports team.
21:39When you're in somebody else's arena, you're not as aggressive.
21:46Man, the fans are going back and forth on this one.
21:48They're enjoying this match.
21:49Hot six-man tag team action right here on Lucha Underground.
21:52Back drop.
21:53Margenes makes the tag, and now Aerostar,
21:55who has a legitimate beef with all three members of the crew.
21:58Nicely done.
21:59Nicely done.
22:00Cover.
22:01Leg hooked.
22:02No.
22:03Bale kicked out strong.
22:04And notice Bale rolls right to the ropes.
22:06And now Superfly, who's the freshest of the Luchadores.
22:09And Bale doesn't want any part of Superfly.
22:13Cortez pulling the foot.
22:14Bale in now.
22:16Keep your eye on Bale.
22:21Bale took the dive away from the fans,
22:24and Superfly gave the fans what they wanted.
22:27Action all over the dirty, grimy temple.
22:31Brother, this has definitely turned into a rivalry.
22:33Back to the ring.
22:34Cisco on the move.
22:36Argenis moves out of the way.
22:39Argenis and Cisco are the legal men.
22:42Watch out.
22:43Beautiful cross body.
22:44Crazy.
22:45Crazy.
22:46Crazy.
22:47Argenis reminds me a little bit of El Hijo del Santo.
22:51Except it is about 2 meters taller.
22:54And now Senor Cisco climbs.
22:56Aerostar takes care of him.
22:58Nope, not enough.
23:03Oh, no!
23:04That's awesome!
23:05Jesus.
23:09If you're a first-time viewer or a long-time fan,
23:12you have to admit you don't see action like that anywhere else.
23:15Matt, I'm going to have to join in with the fans.
23:18Holy sh...
23:20Holy sh...
23:22Hey, now.
23:24That was just forest as hell.
23:27Yeah, even the little kids are chanting the dirty words.
23:31Wow!
23:33That right there is so dangerous.
23:37Hey, right now, if you had to pick an MVP of this match,
23:39who would it be?
23:40Probably the announcing team.
23:41But if I didn't have to go there...
23:43Yeah.
23:44You know what?
23:45You can't ask me that,
23:46because all six guys putting their life on the line like that,
23:48I'm sorry.
23:49I'm going to have to give it to them all.
23:52Although I am very in favor of the guys
23:55who are doing the suplexes, no doubt about it.
23:57Okay.
24:01Power moves certainly have a place here at Lucha Underground.
24:04The strikes, the chops, the kicks.
24:06But have you noticed this is the first time
24:08these guys have been together,
24:09and this has turned into a mega-heated rivalry?
24:12Shows you the depth of talent we have here at Lucha Underground.
24:15Wow!
24:163D into the Codebreaker. Is it enough?
24:18Yes!
24:19Yes!
24:20And here are your winners,
24:22Bell, Cortez Castro, and Mr. Sisko.
24:28Bampi made a great point that all six of these men
24:31have proven themselves to you.
24:33Mr. Sisko wearing the wounds of war on his face.
24:37All six of these luchadores have bright futures here
24:41at Lucha Underground.
24:43No doubt about it, man.
24:45No doubt about it.
24:46And coming up next, an exclusive interview.
24:50Vampiro sits down with Prince Puma and Conan,
24:54and no punches are pulled.
24:56You don't want to miss this.
24:57We'll be right back next on Lucha Underground.
24:59All right, what's up, everybody?
25:17Welcome back to Lucha Underground
25:18on the LRA Network.
25:19And two weeks ago, we saw a brand-new champion,
25:21Prince Puma, viciously attacked by a newcomer,
25:24the man they call Cage.
25:25Vampiro, you sat down and had a very controversial interview
25:28with Cage.
25:29You had another interview this week
25:31with Conan and Prince Puma.
25:32Can you tell me about it?
25:33Yeah, man, it was exciting.
25:34So I got to talk to the champ for the first time
25:36in his first public appearance, and it drove me insane.
25:39You could have cut the knife with the intensity.
25:41I'm telling you, Conan is not good.
25:43Conan wouldn't shut his mouth.
25:44But instead of going on and on and on and on,
25:46why don't we just check it out ourselves?
25:48Hey, everybody.
25:49Vampiro again, ringside here in Boyle Heights.
25:54Puma, I want to shake your hand.
25:57It's good to meet you, brother, in person.
26:01Congratulations.
26:02First champion ever here in Lucha Underground.
26:05How are you feeling with all of this, brother?
26:10I'll tell you exactly how he's feeling.
26:12Holmes, pissed off.
26:17You know, he outlasted 19 other guys
26:19to become the Lucha Underground champion.
26:23Prince Puma!
26:24Wow!
26:26Then he went toe-to-toe with Fenix.
26:30And he showed that he deserves to be the champion.
26:34Then all of a sudden, some punk-ass wannabe,
26:38try-to-be, never-gonna-be jumps in from behind.
26:41Oh, man.
26:42You saw Cage early tonight.
26:44What you're saying to me is, if Puma was ready,
26:48if you were in the moment, you would have been pumped, primed.
26:52It would have been a different outcome with Cage.
26:54Is that what you're trying to say?
26:55That's exactly what I said.
26:57Cage would be the one in the hospital.
27:00And I promise you, that's exactly where he's headed.
27:03A lot of critics are saying that you're just flash, brother.
27:05And watching you live, I will give you your props.
27:08But the opinion is, somebody like Cage,
27:10who's a monster who just hits people and they don't get up,
27:13that you ain't gonna be able to handle it, dog.
27:15But what's your opinion on all that?
27:17I don't ever remember checking for your opinion
27:21or the critics' opinion.
27:23But I will tell you this.
27:25Cage lacks this.
27:27And right here, what you see right here,
27:30unstoppable, brother.
27:32And it's gonna be all over Cage.
27:34Boom.
27:35Strong words, Conan.
27:37But I'm telling you now, I'm getting sick and tired
27:39of you just jumping in and shooting your mouth off.
27:41That is unless you, champ, you don't got your own opinion.
27:47You got something you want to tell me, man?
27:49Yeah, brother, this is his moment, brother.
27:51He's the champion.
27:52This is his time in the world.
27:54But you always gotta stick your mug there.
27:56When he was getting the belt and he had it in the air
27:58and the fans were going crazy, there's Conan.
28:01Arriba, la raza!
28:03I'm just making an observation right now.
28:05Well, observe this.
28:07Watch as Puma shreds up Cage like ropa vieja.
28:12And if you keep running your mouth,
28:14you're gonna be next.
28:15Yeah?
28:16This interview is over.
28:17Anytime you want to do it, brother.
28:19We've done this a million times.
28:20One more time.
28:21Don't let me know.
28:23Be careful, Puma.
28:32The following lucha is scheduled for one fall
28:35and is for the Lucha Underground Championship.
28:42Coming to the ring, accompanied by Conan,
28:46from Boyle Heights,
28:48the Lucha Underground Champion,
28:51Prince Puma!
29:01Two weeks ago, the pride of Boyle Heights
29:03was brutally attacked by Cage.
29:05Tonight, Prince Puma puts his title on the line
29:08for the second time in just three weeks.
29:11A true fighting champion at Vampiro.
29:13Look, the first appearance at ringside
29:16by the Lucha Libre OG, Conan.
29:22It's doing nothing but provoke me, brother.
29:25I'm telling you, and I've told him,
29:27and I will tell the world,
29:28Puma does not need Conan,
29:32but he's gotta pay attention.
29:35Don't turn your back on him.
29:37The big question, is Puma 100%?
29:39Or has the young champion finally run his course?
29:43We're gonna find out.
29:44Our main event is coming your way next.
29:58His opponent, from the 5'9",
30:02they call him Cage!
30:06The man called Cage represents Fresno, California,
30:10and Cage mauled Puma the last time we saw Cage.
30:13I guess the only thing that can contain a Puma
30:15is a cage, mark my part.
30:26Here we go!
30:28Matt, as you said, the cage door is definitely left open.
30:31You said the only thing that can contain a Puma is a cage.
30:34He came in cocky as usual, and the champ is on fire.
30:37You'd think I was listening to you, kid, but I was.
30:40Prince Puma realizes he's tasted the power of Cage
30:42so perhaps Puma realizes that he has to get to Cage early.
30:45Puma now with intensity, no cage,
30:47with a double leg slamming Puma into the turnbuckle.
30:50And notice Puma sets himself for a position.
30:53Look at that.
30:55Obviously, Puma will have the speed, agility,
30:58and just straight-up wrestling advantage,
31:00but in a fight, strength matters.
31:03Wow.
31:04Anger and hatred matter,
31:05and Cage definitely trumps Puma in that category.
31:07You know what, man?
31:08I would think that, you know, it's a championship match,
31:10and I almost thought that Cage would be
31:11a little bit more methodical and take his time and study,
31:13but he's going after him.
31:14He's trying to cut the tree down right off the bat.
31:16Well, Cage mentioned how he's not gonna wait in line.
31:19He's not gonna go through the proper channels
31:21or be politically correct.
31:22Most people do that in the wrestling business,
31:24and they never get a chance.
31:25It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.
31:27Matt, nobody in this business is politically correct.
31:30Are you crazy saying that?
31:32What's wrong with you?
31:34Cage is doing the right thing.
31:35Hey, man, he wants to make a name for himself.
31:37There's only one way to go, and that's to the top.
31:40Oh-ho-ho!
31:42He spun him around in midair, dog.
31:44The thing to watch for is if Cage's mouth hangs open.
31:47That's the sign of a tired fighter.
31:48Going for a cover here.
31:49Is it enough? No.
31:50Did you see the elbow in the eye?
31:52Yes. Wow.
31:53I'm feeling Cage, man.
31:54He's on a mission.
31:56Again, you notice Conan.
31:58Conan's first appearance at ringside
32:00shows us the weight of this match.
32:02Puma's Lucha Underground title reign is in jeopardy.
32:05Conan has been in the shoes of Cage
32:07decades before this young man
32:09was even thinking about becoming a wrestler,
32:11and Conan knows what it takes
32:13to retain and be a world heavyweight champion,
32:15especially when you're a big man.
32:17That's right.
32:18Conan El Chapo,
32:19known and revered throughout Mexico.
32:21That man right there, Conan.
32:23Back to the action now.
32:25Prince Puma, the champion,
32:27clutching the back of his head.
32:29But if he's going to watch, stay away.
32:31Stop shooting your mouth off.
32:33I knew he was going to get into this.
32:35He's got every right to do it.
32:37No.
32:38Not when the game is being played, brother.
32:40Trying to inspire his charge, you know?
32:42Conan is responsible for training
32:44and bringing Prince Puma to Lucha Underground.
32:46There's a financial and emotional investment there.
32:48Yeah, okay, but Puma's getting rocked right now.
32:50He doesn't need to hear from Conan.
32:52He's just trying to regain his senses.
32:54Blocked and...
32:55Oh, roll through!
32:56Shoulders are down!
32:57Two!
32:58No.
32:59It seems like Puma's been fighting this match
33:01from behind for the majority.
33:03And he just got hit with a baseball bat in the face.
33:05No, that was Cage's arm.
33:09Now, the up and over.
33:11Cage throws Puma down.
33:13Wow, the spring in Puma's step is still there.
33:15Not anymore.
33:17Oh, Alabama sit-out Alabama slam.
33:20Look at that.
33:21Wow, I've never seen that before, dude.
33:23Placement of the hand into the stomach.
33:25Some would say cocky.
33:26Others say pushing on the diaphragm
33:28makes it harder to breathe.
33:30But look at that.
33:32Look at that.
33:33Look what you called.
33:34He's getting tired.
33:35Cage is gasping for air.
33:36Now, let's see if he's human or he really is a machine
33:38like he claims to be, dog.
33:40The methodical pace, the stalk of Cage,
33:43if he begins to slow down,
33:45that's what Puma's looking for.
33:47Reminiscent of a great Terry Gordy.
33:50Now a slam position.
33:52Cage's power is universal.
33:55Not every move's gonna be pretty.
33:57You ever watch a fight?
33:58Fights aren't pretty.
34:01Both men down.
34:02This is Puma's opportunity now
34:04as Puma lays on the center seal here in the temple.
34:07Great shot of the challenger, Cage,
34:09driving, trying to get to his feet
34:11over the shoulder of Konnan.
34:14Puma's shoulder into the gut.
34:15Sets up the enziguri,
34:17which brings Cage out to the middle of the ring.
34:19Springboard.
34:20Closed line.
34:21Crazy. Did you see how high he got?
34:23Oh.
34:24What would you say?
34:25Nine feet in the air?
34:26Sure, why not?
34:29But you'll notice now
34:30that every time Cage has been down,
34:32it's a result of Puma's high-octane,
34:35very different offense.
34:38I think he's definitely showing maturity
34:40as a young champion, adapting.
34:42Lights.
34:43Locked.
34:44Wow.
34:45Double underhook.
34:46Ooh.
34:47Police.
34:48Puma smart there,
34:49rolling all the way out of the ring.
34:50Now that's a veteran maneuver right there,
34:52keeping your shoulders off the mat
34:53and rolling away from the middle of the ring.
34:54That's Konnan, man.
34:55He didn't roll out of the ring.
34:57He got thrown out of the ring with the machine.
35:00Nice reversal.
35:01Slap to the ear.
35:02Kick to the shin.
35:03Top rope catches Cage under the throat.
35:05Puma.
35:06Springboard.
35:07Double knees.
35:08Oh, my God, brother.
35:09He planted his brain through the mat.
35:10Cover.
35:11Two.
35:12Oh.
35:13And listen,
35:14Puma's defending his title
35:15for the second time in three weeks.
35:16He's a fighting champion.
35:18None of this every-30-days stuff
35:19that we have in the wrestling world.
35:21Good call, Matt.
35:22Good call, good call.
35:23But how long is it gonna take him to recuperate?
35:26Because you know, as fresh as he is,
35:28that stuff's gonna hurt, dog.
35:29Well, Puma is young,
35:30and his recuperative powers are at their apex.
35:33Well, getting nibbled in the side of the face.
35:35Cage now looks to go for a belly-to-back.
35:37Puma rolls through, grabs the waist lock,
35:40trying to gain position here.
35:41Oh, man.
35:42Oh, notice how Cage kept Puma's arm.
35:44That allowed Cage to stay close to Puma.
35:46Wow.
35:47Puma has tasted Cage's power
35:48and definitely wants to get out of the way.
35:51Normally up here is Puma's territory.
35:55You don't normally see a bear or a lion up in a tree.
36:00Look at the power, man.
36:02Whoa.
36:03Oh!
36:04The toe of the boot caught Cage right in the jaw.
36:09The fans are behind our champion.
36:13Wow, wow.
36:15Jackhammer!
36:16Is this enough?
36:17Two!
36:18No!
36:19You talk about it all the time,
36:20but a leg hook has given us a new champ.
36:23You know what?
36:24It's hard to say.
36:25I would say yes, but Puma is our champion.
36:27He's not gonna give up so easily.
36:28You know he's...
36:29Plus, unfortunately,
36:30and maybe it's in his favor right now,
36:32this is where the attention is going to go.
36:34He's not gonna give up so easily.
36:36He's not gonna give up so easily.
36:38You know he's...
36:39Plus, unfortunately,
36:40and maybe it's in his favor right now,
36:41this is where the experience
36:42and the fortitude of Kona will come into play.
36:45Cage looks tired.
36:46You mentioned that the longer this match goes on.
36:49It works against Cage,
36:50carrying all that weight and muscle.
36:54Almost trying to play the wrong game, brother.
36:57Puma using the turnbuckle.
36:58Wow.
36:59Push-off high knee.
37:00Yep, doing too much, brother, for a big man.
37:03Use your strength, brother.
37:04But he's wearing him down, Puma, little by little.
37:07He's catching fire.
37:10Wow. Cage is a beast.
37:12A lot of Cage's stuff is counter-wrestling.
37:14He needs to counter a lot of Puma's moves.
37:18Showing a little agility.
37:19Whoa!
37:20Moonsault for the big man.
37:21Is it enough?
37:222-newton!
37:23Oh!
37:29I've never seen a big man with this much agility.
37:32And the frustration.
37:33But it's pretty impressive, man.
37:35I'm telling you.
37:36A lot of frustration creeping into Cage's mind now.
37:39As a competitor, what do you do?
37:40You hit a guy with everything you can.
37:41Beat him.
37:44Cage went for the powerbomb.
37:45Puma slipped out.
37:46I'm sure you can't European uppercut.
37:49Spin kick.
37:50Puma.
37:51Nice jumping axe kick.
37:52Blocks.
37:54Gosh, I can't even keep up.
37:55Oh!
37:56I can rock his world.
37:59Boom!
38:00Gosh, yeah.
38:01Spinebuster into not one, but two powerbombs.
38:04Sunset flip.
38:05Puma now.
38:06Back to his feet.
38:07Bang!
38:10This is your main event
38:11for the Lucha Underground Heavyweight Championship.
38:14The champion, Puma, on the right.
38:16Konan's charge.
38:17The challenger, the brand-new Monster Cage.
38:21Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
38:24There you get a look at the Lucha legend, Konan.
38:26That definitely deserved a standing ovation.
38:29The guy, myself included, I got so excited,
38:31I jumped right in.
38:32Talking about not being politically correct.
38:35It's okay to be a fan, man.
38:36We all are.
38:37Cage up to his feet first.
38:39Puma up.
38:40Puma looks to the faithful,
38:41but Puma should be looking to his right,
38:44because Cage is right in front of you.
38:47Oh!
38:48The machine launched him.
38:51Go, Cage!
38:52Oh, man.
38:53Nice.
38:54A lot of power.
38:55Still a lot of power in Cage
38:56this late stage of the match.
38:58Ooh!
38:59Wow.
39:00Modified F5.
39:01Is it enough?
39:02No leg hook,
39:03but the hand is in the stomach.
39:04Ooh.
39:05Ooh.
39:06And look at the disbelief
39:07after that display of arrogance.
39:09That's right, brother.
39:10You're not there yet.
39:15Fam, the champ is resilient tonight.
39:18Puma embodies the phrase,
39:20fighting champion.
39:22Pump handle.
39:23Flip through.
39:24Oh!
39:26Oh.
39:27This guy's still standing.
39:29Chin music.
39:30Boom!
39:32We've seen Cage use that discus clothesline
39:34before to finish up.
39:35Whoa!
39:36Big Northern Lights suplex.
39:37Puma is just a rock.
39:38Puma rolls through.
39:39What's he doing, brother?
39:41You can see that Cage is way too much.
39:43Cage has a choke hooked right in.
39:45Puma was able to avoid it.
39:47Wow.
39:48Big suplex.
39:49Give Puma props, brother.
39:52Cover.
39:54Oh.
39:55Wow.
39:56You can sense the desperation
39:57on the faces of both luchadors.
39:59This match is for the world championship
40:01and all the money and glory that comes with it.
40:04And the fans are calling it for us, brother.
40:07This is awesome.
40:09No doubt about it.
40:10Puma telling everyone that the 630 is about to come.
40:14This is something that you will not see
40:16another human being do on this show
40:19or anywhere else on television.
40:23630-degree revolution by the human body
40:27is about to be seen.
40:28Courtesy of our champ Prince Puma.
40:30Wow.
40:31Very smart.
40:32Very, very smart on the part of the machine.
40:35Pushed around a little.
40:36Picked it up.
40:37Disqualification.
40:38Can't beat him.
40:39What was that, brother?
40:45Cage pushing the referee is one thing.
40:47Marty Elias allowed the match to go on.
40:49But the low blow from behind was enough.
40:52Cage has been disqualified.
40:54Puma is still your champ.
40:55But the story continues here.
40:58Ooh, there's a gory stretch.
41:00Oh!
41:04Nicely done there.
41:05Cage has sent a message.
41:08What?
41:11Wow.
41:12Cage is...
41:14Uh-oh.
41:15It shows you how important the championship is to everyone.
41:18And now, hey, look at this.
41:22Wow.
41:23For the first time in over five years,
41:25Conan is in a ring.
41:27And the prime minister with the hip stick.
41:30Oh, boy.
41:31Wow.
41:32Ooh!
41:33Why are you hitting me?
41:36Why are you hitting me?
41:38Why are you hitting me?
41:40Why are you hitting me?
41:42Why are you hitting me?
41:44Why are you hitting me?
41:46Why are you hitting me?
41:49Man, Conan is not well.
41:53He hasn't wrestled for years.
41:56Conan involved himself.
41:58Oh!
42:01Oh!
42:04Oh!
42:07Oh!
42:10Oh!
42:13Oh!
42:15Reminiscent of superstar Billy Graham tearing the title.
42:20Utter disrespect.
42:22A spit on the championship,
42:24a spit on the legacy of Conan.
42:26Look at that.
42:29He ripped the belt in half.
42:31Ooh!
42:33The blood of a true warrior
42:35stains the canvas here in the temple.
42:38And I know it's cliche,
42:40but this has now become personal.
42:51You talk about Cage not being politically correct.
42:53You talk about Cage not showing any respect.
42:56What Cage has just done to Conan,
42:58what Cage has just done to Prince Bulma,
43:00what Cage has just done
43:02to the Lucha Underground Championship
43:05is absolutely disgraceful.
43:07There will be hell to pay.
43:09Oh!
43:11Oh!
43:13Oh!
43:15Oh!
43:17Oh!
43:19Oh!
43:21Oh!
43:23Oh!
43:25Oh!
43:27Oh!
43:29Oh!
43:31Oh!
43:33Oh!
43:35Oh!
43:37Oh!
43:40What the hell are you doing? Who are you?
43:42I'm looking for a man.
43:44A man that owes me.
43:46Well, what man? Not me. I pay my debts.
43:49I know he's here in your temple.
43:52Well, then feel free to question anyone in my roster.
43:55Oh, I can help you. Do you have a name?
43:57I only have one word.
44:00Matanza.
44:06I'm sorry. The word means nothing to me.
