Transcript
00:00The news of this temple and what's happening here is spreading.
00:05I am the best. My turn is now.
00:07Prince Puma was brutally attacked by Cage.
00:10Puma puts his title on the line for the second time and...
00:13Oh!
00:14Very smart on the part of the machine.
00:16The roadblow from behind. Cage has been disqualified.
00:20Oh! Spit on the legacy of Conan.
00:22Spit on the championship. Utter disrespect.
00:25I know we had some issues in the past.
00:27Let's let bygones be bygones.
00:29I am ready for some action.
00:31You will be in the main event tonight against Cage.
00:34Lucha Underground title.
00:35And now Johnny fighting with everything he has left.
00:37Cuerno watching.
00:38What interest would Cuerno have in this match?
00:41Oh!
00:42Cuerno is brooding.
00:44He is the king!
00:47And the match continues.
00:49Cage may very well be the most dangerous man in Lucha Underground.
00:53It's time you declare me Lucha Underground champion.
00:56Technically, Puma is still champion.
00:59Next week, you get Puma.
01:00If you beat him, then you will be next in line for a title match.
01:04Johnny Mundo has definitely got a bit of a limp.
01:06End of the world!
01:07Crazy!
01:08Johnny's just too good.
01:09Cuerno.
01:10Oh!
01:11Thrill of the hunt.
01:12There is no mystery now.
01:13Cuerno is hunting Johnny Mundo.
01:16I wanted to let you know that she came looking for you.
01:18I couldn't even have this key.
01:20I let her come for revenge.
01:22But I'm not a fool.
01:24So this is where he keeps you.

06:05Oh!
06:06Oh!
06:07Oh, oh, oh!
06:08I wouldn't want to wake with my teeth inside
06:09my belly like that!
06:101500
06:11Really let
06:12me
06:13ask
06:14you
06:15The action here, Arrowstar trying to build momentum,
06:18trying to tilt the ring in his favor.
06:19Wow.
06:21Drop to hold, sets Drago up.
06:23Drago spying.
06:24Oh!
06:25But do you see how much punishment they take
06:27and how fast they get up?
06:29There's a lot of spirit here.
06:30You just got to respect these dudes.
06:31Great point. The machismo, the fighting spirit,
06:34pride, ego, call it what you will.
06:36Do you think this machismo cover?
06:40No.
06:41Or is it honor?
06:43Okay, fine.
06:44Interchangeable, no? Maybe.
06:46You know, remember, you have to see your peers.
06:47You have to go back to the locker room.
06:49You have to walk down the streets in your hometown.
06:50You have to hold your head high.
06:52Drago now on the move.
06:54Arrowstar gives the base.
06:55Drago lands on his feet.
06:57Kick sends Arrowstar out to the floor.
06:59Drago now on the move.
07:00The Serpentine One will fly!
07:03Wow. No doubt.
07:07And the faithful here at the temple
07:08showing their approval for both of these luchadores.
07:11They understand the sacrifices
07:13that these men and women make night in and night out,
07:16no matter where you are around the world.
07:19And I just love it. The fans get into it.
07:21But when there are moments of silence,
07:23it's so awesome to see that the fans are just hanging
07:26with their mouths open,
07:27paying attention to everything that's going on.
07:30Both men hanging on the ring apron there.
07:32Wow. Again, the ring comes into play.
07:34Man, this kid is so creative.
07:35And his sock is on the move.
07:37Wow. Whoa! Satellite suicide dive!
07:41Insane, the distance.
07:43Man, this kid is creative on the spot.
07:46A lot of talent to be able to take a beating and still slay.
07:49Well, based on the name and the legend and the lore,
07:50Arrowstar derives his powers from the heavens,
07:53from the celestial bodies,
07:54whereas Drago pulls from the inner earth,
07:58from the darkness, perhaps.
08:02Great catch there by Drago.
08:06Drago is on the offensive,
08:07looking for the top rope, Andre.
08:09And Arrowstar landed on Drago's foot, part of the peril.
08:12That is so brutally dangerous.
08:16You could rip out your Achilles tendon.
08:18Achilles tendon that ended careers,
08:20but these men are worrying about their legacy right now.
08:22Breakthrough, dragon's lair, roll through.
08:24Is this enough? Drago has used it before.
08:26No, and Arrowstar, great counter.
08:28Wow. Is it enough?
08:29Two. No!
08:31Great sequence of action.
08:33That was so well scouted, brother.
08:36Not enough there.
08:38Ooh.
08:40Ooh.
08:41Yeah!
08:43Yeah!
08:44Yeah!
08:47This is awesome!
08:49The crowd is enjoying it.
08:50These two leaving everything on the line.
08:53And just remember, again, it's about being champion here.
08:56It's about earning the right to have a title shot.
08:58Cage has done that, as some would argue.
09:01Oh!
09:03Oh, my God.
09:05Go, Cage! Go, Cage!
09:07Oh, my God.
09:08And look how quickly Arrowstar picks up Drago
09:10to get Drago back in the ring.
09:11Arrowstar wants this victory, knows how important it is.
09:14Dude, this guy is so smart,
09:15because he just busted him open.
09:17What's next?
09:18Oh!
09:20Reminiscent of El Brazo.
09:22He got him!
09:23And your winner, Arrowstar!
09:28Arrowstar gets redemption in a hard-fought battle,
09:32and now let's see if the respect is returned
09:35from Arrowstar to Drago.
09:37Drago's still flattered.
09:38Matt, this is taking its toll on both of them.
09:40They are both spent.
09:44Look at this, the return of respect,
09:45and I like that, man.
09:46We need more of this in wrestling.
09:48This is so incredible.
09:54Hey, if you ever laced up a pair of boots, man,
09:56this one's for you.
09:57Wow. Thank you, boys.
09:58That is a true professional right there.
10:01Sportsmanship.
10:03Hey.
10:04There's our owner, Dario Cueto.
10:09Arrowstar.
10:12Congratulations.
10:14But as much as I've enjoyed this little fight,
10:18I'm left wanting more.
10:21Don't worry.
10:22It's a compliment.
10:25Now, it's obvious you two love each other,
10:29so I've got a plan,
10:31and you can spend more time together with it.
10:35You had two fights, one victory for each.
10:39I'm gonna let you match each other
10:41until one of you wins two more times.
10:45The winner will earn
10:47one of my famous unique opportunities.
10:53Good luck.
10:56Wow.
10:57Our boss man, Mr. Cueto,
10:59makes a best of five
11:01and perhaps a playoff series
11:02that could yield a championship.
11:04Dario did reference
11:05one of his famous unique opportunities.
11:07Crazy.

12:28Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
12:29We thank you for riding with El Rey.
12:31We're only one match in, and I'm already spent,
12:33and still we have the bloodletting
12:35of King Cuerno and Johnny Mundo to come.
12:37Hey, man, Cuerno has been hunting Johnny
12:39for some time now,
12:40but if I know Johnny Mundo,
12:42definitely I can guarantee you
12:43tonight he's coming for blood.
12:44All right, let's give you more wrestling
12:46right now here on Lucha Underground.
12:48♪
12:50The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
12:53I'm a machine!
12:55Introducing first,
12:57from the 559,
13:00they call him Cage.
13:03Over the past few weeks,
13:05the machine known as Cage
13:06has absolutely turned
13:08Lucha Underground upside down.
13:10Matt, you remember from my interview with him,
13:12he said, I am not waiting in line.
13:14I do not care.
13:15I ain't got nothing in my family.
13:17No bloodlines here.
13:18I want what's mine.
13:19I don't give nothing but two S's
13:22about this belt, man,
13:23and I'm gonna go through what I gotta go through.
13:26And his opponent,
13:28from Boyle Heights,
13:30and the current champion
13:33of Lucha Underground,
13:35Prince Puma!
13:38For the first time in over a month,
13:40we've seen the brand-new Lucha Underground champion,
13:43Prince Puma,
13:44finally returns to the temple
13:46amongst the believers.
13:48Wow.
13:49Electricity is flowing through the building.
13:53Notice one main thing missing
13:55from the vision that is Prince Puma,
13:57the Lucha Underground championship belt.
14:00Cage, with his power,
14:01tore the title apart.
14:03More of a symbolism than anything else.
14:06Wow, here we go.
14:08Matt, they are...
14:09Wow, this is gonna be a collision of forces
14:12from another universe.
14:13But let me tell you something.
14:14You said that he is not with his belt,
14:17but there is something else.
14:18And you said at the beginning,
14:19Conan is still injured.
14:21He is nowhere to be seen.
14:22For right now.
14:25Man, nice.
14:26Nice, but not enough, man.
14:27Come on, if you think that's gonna knock down that monster,
14:30forget about it.
14:31Lucha Underground, the temple,
14:33the hottest place to be.
14:34All the stars are here.
14:35Three-time NBA champion,
14:36AC Green is in attendance.
14:38UFC fighter, Goyito Perez.
14:40Actor, Matt McCarthy.
14:41Everyone here.
14:42This is the place to be.
14:43The temple.
14:44And you know who else is here, who's important?
14:47Matt Stryker.
14:48Oh!
14:49Jesus!
14:50Brother, he landed right on his head.
14:51He got knocked out.
14:53Oh, my God.
14:56That's what Cage brings,
14:57this absolute destruction,
14:59almost cyborg-like.
15:01Matt, he got...
15:02He looks like a car crash.
15:03We've seen Puma's resiliency.
15:05Puma had to endure Aztec warfare.
15:0820 of our top luchadores at the time
15:11competed in that match.
15:12The doors have been revolving since.
15:14Some guys haven't been seen since that match.
15:16Still new faces come.
15:18No doubt, man, but 20 men,
15:20this ain't nothing like getting hit by a machine.
15:23Great point.
15:24But look at our champion crawling, fighting.
15:27This is what Puma has done.
15:29He's pretty much turned the sport on its ear,
15:32and Cage is seeking that glory.
15:34Cover here from the high vertical.
15:36Is it enough? No.
15:38That was a suplex.
15:39Did you see the power?
15:40Picked him up from the floor
15:41while standing on the second rope.
15:43A lot of people talking about,
15:45did Puma return too early?
15:46Are there internal injuries?
15:48And after that fall that we just saw,
15:50now we have to watch how Puma's movements
15:52start to advance or regress.
15:54No doubt.
15:55And you know, Puma is a kid
15:56who is turning the sport upside down worldwide,
15:58but I think without Conan,
16:00he's not ready yet, man.
16:01I hate to say it,
16:02but Conan is a big part of this puzzle.
16:04Now here's the go-behind.
16:06Puma rolling through, using his agility.
16:08It'll be Cage's power against Puma's speed.
16:10Cross-body catch.
16:11There's Cage's power right there,
16:13as well as a cocky, cocky look.
16:15Bench pressing, curling.
16:17Ooh, tossing out the trash.
16:25Ooh.
16:26Man, talking about internal injuries,
16:28he just kicked him right in the ribs.
16:30Not good.
16:31And since the fall on the outside,
16:33Puma has not been back to a vertical base.
16:35Cage has been firmly in control.
16:38I think it's safe to say he got knocked out.
16:40He's got to be seeing stars.
16:41You can't even joke about that.
16:43You see the way he hit the floor.
16:45We'll have to watch the gaze of referee Marty Elias
16:48as he checks on the well-being
16:49of our Lucho Underground champion.
16:51Ooh.
16:52Brother, he's twisting that off
16:53like a twist off of a beer bottle.
16:56Not that I drink my beer, but still.
17:01Ooh.
17:03There you go.
17:05There you go.
17:07Desperation move.
17:09Seemed to have worked for a second.
17:11I don't know, man.
17:12Puma looks like he got the steam taken out of him
17:14in a big way.
17:16Ooh, nice.
17:19I've never seen somebody get tossed around
17:22like a ragdoll like that.
17:23I've never seen anybody get tossed around
17:25like a ragdoll like that.
17:27I've never seen somebody get tossed around
17:29like a ragdoll like that before.
17:30But week in and week out,
17:31we're watching the maturation of Cage.
17:33Several weeks ago, Cage would have been
17:34right on top of Puma
17:35and maybe wasting valuable energy.
17:37Right now, Cage is letting the energy build.
17:40Do you think, or do you think?
17:44I know.
17:45Puma was waiting.
17:46The Lucho Underground champion,
17:48known for his resiliency and athleticism.
17:51Ooh, that was brutal.
17:53Dude, look at Cage's athleticism.
17:56Puma's quickness.
17:57Well, the cockiness, you said it,
17:59but listen, man, I think that Cage
18:01has definitely gotten to Puma's head.
18:03I hate to say it, Matt,
18:04I can't believe I'm going to admit it,
18:06without Conan,
18:07I don't think that Puma is the puzzle complete.
18:09Well, speaking of puzzles,
18:10you know, normally when you do a puzzle
18:11two or three times, you get the hang of it.
18:13Remember, the last time,
18:14the only time these two met,
18:15it was by disqualification,
18:16so Puma has never really figured out Cage.
18:19Now may be the time.
18:20And you got to know something else,
18:22that without this victory,
18:24Cage is not going to get
18:25an official match for the title.
18:30Puma thrives with this type of scenario here.
18:33Puma seems to be lining up Cage.
18:35No doubt.
18:36What are we going to see here?
18:37And you got to admit something, Matt.
18:39Oh, my gosh!
18:40Triangle shooting star!
18:42Springboard from our champion!
18:44The crowd is on its feet.
18:45They have been waiting for Puma to wake up.
18:50Puma is back.
18:52You can never count out
18:53the Lucha Underground champion, Prince Puma.
18:56That was suicidal.
19:02Puma knows the temple so well,
19:04knows the boundaries as well as the abilities.
19:08Beautifully done.
19:09Could this be it?
19:10No!
19:12Crazy.
19:13Wow, we've seen Puma win so many matches with that,
19:16but Cage knows a title shot is on the line,
19:19and listen to the believers.
19:21This is something
19:22that has always worked in Puma's favor.
19:24Once he gets the crowd behind him,
19:26he turns on the switch.
19:27Look at the gaze in his eyes.
19:29He is determined.
19:30Wow, this fuels Puma.
19:31It also fuels Cage,
19:32because Cage hates this.
19:33He hates the temple, hates the believers,
19:35hates all that Lucha stands for.
19:38Cage blocking Puma now.
19:40Elbows to the back of the head here.
19:42Discus clothesline.
19:43There's Puma showing strength of his own.
19:49Cage onto his feet.
19:51Oh, my God.
19:52Sweep there.
19:53Huge power into the gut wrench.
19:56What does Cage have in mind?
19:58Whoa, quick powerbomb taken through.
20:00Or a piranha.
20:01Is it enough?
20:02No!
20:03Crazy, crazy.
20:05The machine is...
20:07Oh!
20:09Here's Cage fueling.
20:10Oh, nice!
20:13And again, the perfect position.
20:18He is calling for it.
20:19We have seen time and time again,
20:20when he signals, it lights out,
20:22and we are taking it home.
20:24That's right, we've seen it before.
20:25This is how Puma earned
20:26the Lucha Underground Championship
20:28with the heart, with the spirit,
20:30with the fight, and with the ability.
20:32Prince Puma pressing on the temple, baby.
20:36Oh!
20:37Perhaps too long, perhaps too much,
20:40perhaps here comes Cage.
20:42Wow.
20:45The machine is cranking the piston,
20:47and it is...
20:48Oh, my God!
20:50Here it is for the number one contendership!
20:53No!
20:54Wow!
20:56If this match is for the number one contendership,
20:58imagine what a championship match would be like
21:01between these two.
21:02Brother, that was a Mike Tyson,
21:03discus-like clothesline, Stan Hansen style.
21:06Pump handle here.
21:08Oh!
21:09Bang, inside-out!
21:11Wow.
21:13One, two, three!
21:15No!
21:16The crowd is insane.
21:18Everybody is waiting for the finish here.
21:20Puma has the 630 on the top rope.
21:23Cage has a move called Weapon X,
21:25where he turns his opponent inside-out
21:27before slamming them down on the mat.
21:29Safe to say, whomever hits that could win,
21:31but the submission Cage has used as well,
21:34this torturous submission here,
21:36on the knee.
21:37Oh!
21:38Oh, my God.
21:40Cage used this against Johnny Mundo,
21:43now using it against Puma.
21:45Matt.
21:46What?
21:48It's Conan.
21:49Conan has returned,
21:51and once Puma realizes
21:53the strength and energy of Puma will rise.
21:56Wow.
21:57Puma! Puma!
21:58The ropes forced the break,
22:00and now Puma has the opportunity.
22:02Incredible.
22:03Conan was out.
22:04He wasn't hiding,
22:05or he was waiting for his moment.
22:07This young champion, Puma, has been through so much.
22:11He's been beaten down by this machine,
22:13and now Conan has resurfaced,
22:15and now Puma needs to get going.
22:18Conan senses the title's in jeopardy.
22:20The Believer senses the title's in jeopardy.
22:25There it is. This is Weapon X.
22:27This is the setup here.
22:28If Cage can get it...
22:29Oh!
22:30Broke him in half!
22:31Broke him in half!
22:34Puma!
22:36Puma!
22:37Puma, cover up!
22:38Cover up!
22:40Look at the concern in Conan's eyes.
22:43Conan knows the pain.
22:45Whoa, what's...
22:46Oh!
22:48Oh!
22:50Conan just threw in the towel.
22:52Wait a minute.
22:53Hang on, I'll be here.
22:54It's a winner, Cage!
22:58The white towel signifies surrender.
23:01surrender. Hang on, did Conan just hand cage a Lucha
23:08Underground Championship match? We do have a new challenger
23:13officially, but I don't know what to say here.
23:16Conan has never backed away or given up ever.
23:20But for Conan's wise, Conan has a reason.
23:23Brother, he has an agenda. Coming up tonight, Pentagon Jr. has been
23:29on a tear in Lucha Underground as of late. Over the past month, Pentagon has
23:33severely injured two Luchadores, all in the name of his master. The man
23:37whose motto is zero fear looks to continue to strike that fear in
23:41the hearts of his opponents. Pentagon is back in action. Three up, three
23:46down. It comes to you next.
23:59Whether you know it or not, or even like it or not, I just did you a favor.
24:09Remember what I've taught you. The art of war.
24:13War is based on deception. Let's execute our plan to fruition.
24:29I'm tired of men getting in my fights to help me.
24:40I have the ability and the strength to do it myself.
24:45It looks like you have a problem with Big Rick.
24:47Not him, with the crew. They sent my friends, Mascarita and Pimpinela to the hospital.
24:53You want the crew?
24:55I swear I'll do exactly the same to them.
25:03What if I give you Big Rick?
25:05As a couple, I don't want anyone. I can do it alone, understand?
25:11No, not as a couple, as an opponent.
25:15Look, Big Rick has a good fight with them too, with the crew.
25:19So the one who wins between you and Big Rick next week
25:23will be the one to take the fight against the crew.
25:25And I promise, this time, no man will come to your rescue.
25:53Vinny Massaro!
25:57A well-known brawler from the NorCal area with an MMA background.
26:01I guess the doors to Lucha Underground are open to anyone.
26:04Let's see what Vinny Massaro can bring.
26:06And his opponent, from Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, Pentagon Jr.
26:14Over the past few weeks, the submission hold that Pentagon has been using has garnered worldwide attention.
26:19We mentioned A.C. Green here, we mentioned Matt McCarthy,
26:21podcaster Marty DeRozan, but UFC's own Goyito Perez is here watching.
26:26It'll be very interesting to see if perhaps this move maybe presents itself to the UFC.
26:32You know what? Maybe a little bit of tweak on that.
26:35I don't think that's a submission hold when you bust somebody's arm, man.
26:39And he is definitely coming into his own here.
26:42Every time we see him come up, he's more confident, more evil, more sadistic.
26:46You think he's got mental problems?
26:49I hope so. If he harnesses that, it's a fury unleashed,
26:52and I think that's what this guy needs to make it to the top.
26:58Pentagon Jr. would like me to announce that this match is dedicated to his master.
27:04Van, you're involved in martial arts.
27:06How important is the master causing so much controversy?
27:09Well, this sounds a lot darker to me.
27:11There's something sinister going on.
27:13Breaking somebody's arm has got nothing to do with respect and honor.
27:16Pentagon did it to the high-flying Ricky Mandel,
27:19and now looks to do it to the brawler Vinny Massaro.
27:23Famous B also got a whoopin'.
27:25That's right. Famous B, a different type of opponent.
27:30And that slap takes its toll.
27:33There's Lucy Green.
27:35All 6'9", enjoys that.
27:40Will Vinny Massaro make a name for himself tonight?
27:42Or is he gonna be Pentagon's next victim, but with that kick to the face?
27:46I don't know, man, how much he's got in his favor.
27:48Pentagon is motivated to hurt people.
27:52Brother, he just wants...
27:54He's built on hurting someone, man.
27:56We've seen that it's aggression that gets results here.
27:59We saw it from Cage. We see it from King Cuerno.
28:01So Pentagon is fitting right into the mold.
28:04And now it looks like Pentagon may be setting up for the 3-up, 3-down.
28:07There it is. It's the driver.
28:10Oh, my God.
28:13One, two, three.
28:16Here's your winner, Pentagon Jr.
28:22I don't know what's worse, to be beaten by that move or the submission.
28:26So at least there's some...
28:28He pinned him. Maybe he's calmed down.
28:30Wait a second.
28:32But we give thanks to the Pioneer.
28:34He has not done yet, man.
28:36Helped us with the extreme style.
28:38And now, anytime a table is revealed, people rise to their feet.
28:41The aggression of Pentagon comes to a different level.
28:46And now, Pentagon...
28:48This is going crazy. Pentagon is gonna drive him through a table.
28:52Uh-oh.
28:56Oh!
29:00Where is Pentagon trying to get away?
29:03Oh!
29:07That defense telling Lucha...
29:10He's not done. Here we go. Uh-oh.
29:13We've seen this before.
29:15And then the pop. It's coming.
29:17No, no. Listen.
29:19Oh!
29:23Look at the way his arm is bent.
29:27Wow. Get somebody in there to help him.
29:32Arm is not moving at all.
29:35Wow. Look at... He is paying homage.
29:37You see the way he's kissing the mat?
29:40To his master, whomever he or she may be,
29:43there is your sacrifice from Pentagon.
29:47Don't go away.
29:49Our main event, Johnny Mundo and King Cuerno,
29:52competing in a match for the first time ever.
29:55This one will be worth the wait.
29:57We'll be right back.
29:59The following Lucha is our main event.
30:02Introducing first, from the highlands of Guerrero, Mexico,
30:07King Cuerno!
30:11For the past few weeks, King Cuerno has been,
30:14for lack of a better word, hunting down the best.
30:17He's been hunting down the best.
30:19He's been hunting down the best.
30:21He's been hunting down the best.
30:23He's been hunting down the best.
30:25He's been hunting down the best.
30:28For lack of a better word, hunting Johnny Mundo.
30:31Now, while it's all on the trajectory to a title shot,
30:34a trophy like Johnny Mundo is something a lot of guys
30:37would love to have on their mantle.
30:39You know very well that King Cuerno is going for that head.
30:42He wants it up there. No doubt about that.
30:44Good call, Matt.
30:48This bloodletting has been going on for quite some time.
30:52Cuerno targeting Johnny Mundo's leg,
30:55and then again targeting Johnny Mundo.
30:57Last time we saw Johnny, he had some fight in him.
30:59And tonight, Johnny will have some venom and some vinegar.
31:02You can be sure.
31:03You better believe that he's going to take full advantage
31:05of this opportunity.
31:07Johnny Mundo brings that parkour ability,
31:09that unique wrestling ability.
31:11And Cuerno understands that anywhere in the temple
31:14can be used as a weapon.
31:16We've seen this many times where he's left that on the corner.
31:19Is it energy? Symbolism?
31:21I don't know.
31:22An altar, maybe?
31:24And his opponent,
31:26from Los Angeles, California,
31:30Johnny Mundo!
31:36Here comes a guy that was done with this sport.
31:38He was ready to move on into Hollywood,
31:40but when he heard about Lucha Underground,
31:42the competitor in this man could not resist.
31:45He busted through the doors here at Lucha Underground
31:47and has been a mainstay ever since.
31:51Look at the intensity of the stare on Mundo's face.
31:58This may take place under the guise of a wrestling match,
32:01but this will be a fight.
32:03No doubt.
32:05Don't forget the injuries.
32:07Don't forget about that knee.
32:09Who do you think has got the psychological advantage here?
32:12Cuerno's attacked him twice, and he's hurt him.
32:14Wow.
32:16Maybe he's gotten to Johnny's head a little bit.
32:18Cuerno's going to have a slight speed advantage,
32:20and Johnny's going to have anger
32:22as well as that unique parkour offense.
32:24And here we go with the anger.
32:26Yeah, I don't see any wrestling there.
32:28I just see a whooping.
32:30Wow.
32:32A quick pin would be nice for Mundo.
32:34Johnny just about took his head off.
32:36The friendship of Johnny Mundo and our champion,
32:38Prince Puma, well-documented.
32:40Right away, like a hunter.
32:42He knows his weakness, and he went after that injured knee.
32:44Did you see that?
32:46Yes.
32:49Oh, there you go.
32:51Hang on.
32:53Whoa!
32:55A double side flip.
32:57I've never seen that before.
32:59One of the best athletes
33:01on the face of God's green earth,
33:03Johnny Mundo,
33:05and he's here only
33:07on Lucha Underground.
33:13And now Mundo bringing Cuerno back into the ring.
33:15One thing you have to love about Johnny Mundo
33:17is that he likes to win fair and square.
33:19Cuerno standing.
33:21That says something.
33:23It says to pray he's becoming the predator, brother.
33:25And you'll notice that Mundo
33:27really hasn't stopped moving
33:29since he's had the advantage here.
33:31Maybe that's the key for Cuerno.
33:33Oh, Cuerno's power.
33:35You see the vascularity
33:37and definition in Cuerno.
33:39Big jumping leg drop.
33:41Say it's a tactic, let you get that confidence up
33:43and then go in for the kill.
33:45Makes it a little more difficult to kick out.
33:47And again, I alluded to the friendship
33:49between Mundo and Puma are champions,
33:51so perhaps an ulterior motive here
33:53for Cuerno is to attack.
33:55Mundo may get Puma's attention,
33:57but right now Prince Puma's attention
33:59lies with Mr. Cage.
34:01Well, maybe Cuerno has a grudge
34:03because Johnny Mundo beat him.
34:05And that's tech warfare.
34:07Might be something to think about, man.
34:09Wow.
34:11He's patient, man.
34:13He likes to fight.
34:15You know what I mean? He likes to hunt.
34:17He likes to take his time and inflict pain
34:19and see what you're gonna come back with.
34:21Certainly digging it.
34:23Cuerno cutting the legs off of Mundo.
34:25You see Mundo grabbing at the kneecap there.
34:27Here comes Cuerno.
34:29Cuerno now bringing Mundo
34:31back up to his feet.
34:33Into the sacred corner, if you will.
34:35Mundo forced to run.
34:37Oh!
34:39He is so quick.
34:41But you see how tense
34:43the atmosphere is right now?
34:45The fans just keep calling
34:47for more and more and more violence.
34:49Competition is
34:51certainly contagious.
34:53Cuerno and Mundo.
34:55A lot of times, you know, you get caught up in the crowd
34:57as they try to will you and get behind you.
35:01Cuerno is... Here they come.
35:03Taking a beating.
35:05Oh, a spear!
35:07Close to the ropes, too.
35:09No!
35:11Dash knee.
35:13Deep breath there.
35:15Yeah, I wouldn't even stretch my knee out
35:17and let Cuerno see that I'm hurt. There's no way.
35:19You know, in the back of his mind, he's just waiting
35:21for an opportunity to take a bite.
35:23Welcome to my drive.
35:25Cuerno still strong enough to get out of it there.
35:27Great agility there. Cuerno spin right around.
35:29Nicely done.
35:31Thought he was gonna go for an armbar there,
35:33but now Mundo counters.
35:35Big forearm elbow right to the face.
35:37And you know, look at how well
35:39they know each other, and this is really their first
35:41singles match.
35:43This is revenge?
35:45Familiarity breeds contempt.
35:47Johnny went for the springboard kick.
35:49Cuerno ducked out of the way. Now, what does Cuerno have in mind?
35:51Up onto the shoulders. This is the setup.
35:53Oh, no!
35:55Waist lock go behind. Standing switch.
35:57Cuerno with the squid boy. Referee down. Still not enough.
35:59Good God.
36:01Fans are feeling it, man. Fans are calling it
36:03like they feel it. Mundo now
36:05showing fight.
36:07Fans will notice Cuerno staying near the ropes.
36:09Trying to bait Johnny, perhaps?
36:11Rope a dope? Maybe.
36:13There you go!
36:15And again, the sacred corner. Oh!
36:17Checked his chin in a big way.
36:19And how is this
36:21for rich substance
36:23of content for you? We give you
36:25every minute, every second of great,
36:27pure wrestling.
36:31Onto the apron. Mundo lands on his feet.
36:33Springboard.
36:35Oh! Here we go.
36:37Wow. Brother, this is crazy.
36:41Oh! Man, brother,
36:43these guys are going at it. No doubt.
36:4521st century
36:47athlete. You know what this is.
36:49You know what's next, Matt. Johnny Mundo
36:51has opened the book of revelations. Perhaps
36:53the end of the world is upon us.
36:55Hang on.
36:57Going for the moonlight drive instead.
36:59It was a better position. Johnny
37:01needed to place Cuerno in a better position.
37:03Perhaps because of the injured leg,
37:05Johnny didn't think he could hit the move
37:07so far away.
37:09This is...
37:11Johnny measuring.
37:13No!
37:15Cuerno weighed in. A good hunter
37:17set the bear trap. No doubt.
37:19Good call. Snared him.
37:21Hooked him.
37:27Oh!
37:29Oh!
37:31Did Johnny ever take that shot on his back?
37:33That's right. The arrow of death. The bullet from the elephant gun.
37:35The suicide dive. Cuerno.
37:37So much
37:39power. So much velocity.
37:41Right into that guard rail.
37:43Might even have broken his ribs.
37:45Johnny's knee. He's feeling it, brother.
37:47It's taking its toll. No doubt.
37:49But where's Johnny going?
37:51Just trying to create space. Shake off
37:53the injuries. We know that
37:55Johnny can use any of the areas.
37:57And perhaps Johnny is...
37:59And Cuerno wise, too.
38:01He's very, very far away.
38:03Wait a minute.
38:05Oh!
38:17The small of Johnny Mundo's back
38:19crashes into the announce table.
38:21Couple that with the injured knee,
38:23and you have to wonder what does Mundo have left?
38:25And is Cuerno poised
38:27for the kill?
38:29This is awesome!
38:31This is awesome!
38:33Referee counts.
38:35The Luchadores have till 10 to get
38:37in the ring, but I love the fact that Marty's
38:39taking his time. We want to see
38:41this fight.
38:43All right. As I look over to my left,
38:45Vampiro's headset has been knocked off,
38:47so I'm sorry. You'll have to deal with my voice
38:49until we get that situated.
38:51There's the arrow of death.
38:53Look at the shot. Bam!
38:55Right into Johnny's heart.
39:07Oh, this match can get Vamp moving.
39:09It certainly gets your heart pounding.
39:11Busted the monitor at my desk.
39:13Damn!
39:17As both Luchadores
39:19lay flat on their back,
39:21the picture tells you the story
39:23of the fight between these two.
39:25It shows you how much it means
39:27to be considered in the championship
39:29picture, and the winner of this match
39:31has to be in the conversation.
39:33I think it's a little deeper than that,
39:35brother. No contradiction here,
39:37but it seems that there is a double countout
39:39here. Let's get the official word.
39:41Ladies and gentlemen,
39:43due to the double
39:45countout, the match
39:47is a draw. Senior official
39:49Marty Elias gave these two as much
39:51wiggle room as possible, but amidst
39:53the frenzy, amidst the animosity,
39:55these two are showing that the fight
39:57still lives in both of them.
39:59We talk about it all the time.
40:01You have to go back and face your peers,
40:03and neither man wants to wear
40:05the mask of shame.
40:07Matt, these guys want to fight.
40:09Come on, man.
40:11Well, I don't know if either Luchador
40:13heard the bell or care.
40:15They did not care about that.
40:17They want to fight.
40:19Cameraman down.
40:21Nobody's safe.
40:23Watch Mundo.
40:25Angular
40:27dive splits the ring like a
40:29chess move.
40:31Come on, man.
40:33Turn it up. I love this violence.
40:35Oh!
40:37The aggression, the
40:39competition, the passion, the desire.
40:41Throw any descriptor you want.
40:43Oh, yes!
40:45Just bounced off the wall.
40:47Man, I love it.
40:49Dario Cueto got schooled, woke up
40:51from sleeping behind his desk.
40:53They are using every inch of this place
40:55as a weapon. Uh-oh, calling it.
40:57Yes!
40:59Oh!
41:01Oh, don't come back over here.
41:03Oh, that is a huge
41:05martial arts-style twist and kick to the face.
41:09Matt, somebody better
41:11do something because these guys ain't gonna stop.
41:13Someone's gonna get hurt.
41:15Ascending to the top of the pyramid
41:17where all great sacrifices
41:19take place throughout history.
41:21They are fighting tooth and nail
41:23to the top, stomping, kicking,
41:25fighting. And it seems that perhaps the temple
41:27itself cannot contain the hatred
41:29that Johnny Mundo and
41:31King Cuero have for one another.
41:33The ring certainly couldn't hold it.
41:35They're up at the top
41:37of the temple
41:39amongst the believers.
41:41Wow. Elbows, elbows to the face.
41:43Kicks, punches.
41:45You know, normally here you'll see officials and referees.
41:47No one is going near these two guys.
41:49I wouldn't.
41:51This is like a fight, man.
41:53This is like Chris Chalios and Bob Probert.
41:55We'll stay with this
41:57as best as we can.
41:59This is insane.
42:03Oh!
42:05Matt, I don't know if you can see this,
42:07but they're facing to the post on the wall.
42:11They're pretty about this production.
42:13Who got punched? That's Marty Elias.
42:15Down, down.
42:17And you know
42:19very well that Cuero has been perched inside
42:21that cage many times, studying his victims.
42:23This is really getting good.
42:25I'm digging this so much, Matt, you have no idea.
42:27I'm on my feet with the fans here in the temple.
42:29Cuero knows the jungle so well.
42:33Matt, watch out, brother. Matt, watch out.
42:35You'll notice we have armed security here.
42:37Matt.
42:39We are embroiled by heavens.
42:45You'll notice no mats, nothing for safety.
42:47There's wires, there's speakers.
42:51These guys are high above us here.
42:53Brother, I got you back.
42:55Oh!
42:57And I got the fans
42:59on my back watching us on the monitors.
43:01This is insane.
43:03Johnny Mundo, Kim Cuero.
43:05The hatred, the fight.
43:07Feel it here in the temple.
43:09We'll see you all next time.
43:11For Grand Piro, I'm Matt Stryker.
43:13Good night, everybody.
43:15It's the Hot Top Gun.
43:33Hot Top Gun.

43:51about future living?
