00:01This is a temple.
00:03No matter the talent, the reputation, or the flash,
00:07no one is safe here.
00:11Oh, big rig.
00:12I had a hard time seeing how valuable we could have been to one another.
00:18You watch my back, and I'll dig deeper.
00:20Yes, sir.
00:22You took something that doesn't belong to you.
00:26Just know that he never forgets.
00:29Mil Muertes is only gonna come here and do one thing,
00:31and that's destroy, bro.
00:33Dang!
00:34Phoenix is that spirit.
00:35He does not die.
00:38Mio looking to end the match.
00:40And a plate!
00:41And your winner, Phoenix!
00:45What could possibly scare a man that cannot die?
00:52Keep this between us.
00:55I know we had some issues in the past.
00:57Let's let bygones be bygones.
00:59I am ready for some action.
01:01You will be in the main event tonight against Cage.
01:05The blood of Conan is on Cage's hands,
01:09as well as the desecration of the Lucha Underground title.
01:12And now Johnny fighting with everything he has left.
01:15Cuerno watching.
01:16What interest would Cuerno have in this match?
01:20King Cuerno is brooding.
01:22The hunt begins again!
01:26And the match continues!
01:28Cage may very well be the most dangerous man in Lucha Underground.
01:32I'm gonna have to call you back.
01:34My name is Alberto.
01:36El Patron.
01:38Well, you already knew that.
01:56Alberto, thank you for coming to my temple.
02:10You really surprised me last week.
02:12You know, I've always admired you.
02:15Your suits, your cars. I like it.
02:18And I like your key.
02:20What does it unlock?
02:23So, you're here. Now what?
02:27I love your temple and what it represents.
02:30But before I plant my flag in this place,
02:33there's something I need to get off my chest.
02:36Patron, as much as I'd like to hear you out,
02:39this, my friend, is a temple for combat.
02:44Oh, I know that.
02:46But grant me this request, and I promise you,
02:50this place will never be the same.
02:53And the next time I come to your office to ask you for anything,
02:59it will be for blood.
03:10Why is it...?
03:20Why is it...?
03:28Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
03:30This is Lucha Underground,
03:32and the whole world is watching.
03:34The news broke last week.
03:36Alberto El Patron is here.
03:38Tonight, he will have an open mic.
03:40You can only imagine the things this man will talk about.
03:43It's crazy, and I'm just...
03:45Out of my mind, it's controversial.
03:47We're dying... I'm dying to know.
03:49This is the first time since it broke
03:51he's going to speak his piece, Matt.
03:53There are few surprises left in our industry,
03:55but tonight, we bring you one. Let's go to the ring.
03:59The Fall Wee Lucha is scheduled for one fall.
04:03Introducing first, from Mexico City, Mexico,
04:08Argenis!
04:12There you see the high-flying luchador, Argenis.
04:15There's a great bloodline here.
04:17The son of the legendary Dr. Corrante,
04:19brother of formerly known as Mistico,
04:21now known as Mr. Feats in AAA Mexico.
04:24And his opponent, also from Mexico City, Mexico,
04:31Phoenix!
04:34Earlier today, you and I were talking about
04:36how much you enjoy the high-flying style of this man, Phoenix.
04:40Please elaborate.
04:41Yeah, it's crazy, and you know what?
04:43He's coming out in the freshest, dopest pink outfit.
04:46I'm feeling that. You know a man's got to have confidence
04:48when he's dressing pink in a fighting spirit style
04:51like we have here in Lucha Underground.
04:53He is a superstar, dude. No doubt about it.
04:55It's an exciting time to be a fan, of course, here,
04:58as Phoenix shows his agility,
05:00as well as a little sense of humor there.
05:02It's going to be Phoenix and Argenis
05:04and a lot of history here.
05:06As soon as the bell rings, we will break it down.
05:09Phoenix's momentum at an all-time high,
05:11coming off a huge win over the previously undefeated
05:14Mil Muertes, so Phoenix is on the ascension, if you will.
05:18No doubt about it.
05:19The two tie up here at Lucha Underground.
05:22Let's go, Phoenix!
05:25Let's go, Phoenix!
05:28Let's go, Phoenix!
05:29Ooh, wow. Great knee there.
05:31That was crazy.
05:32Of course, the entire Argenis family,
05:34his two other brothers, as well.
05:36They're all watching and loving that.
05:38Back in Mexico City.
05:41Oh, man.
05:42Again, the huracanana.
05:44You know, there was a time, Matt,
05:46when Misty Cole was the talk of the town,
05:48but many have said that his younger brother
05:50definitely was the one to watch,
05:52and he is sure showing his true colors here tonight.
05:55Listen to the fans, man.
05:56Talk about the AAA promotion
05:58that now has the eyes of the world upon it.
06:00It was a liberation movement started in 1992
06:03by the legendary Antonio Pena.
06:05Names like Conan, El Hijo del Santo,
06:07Negro Casas, Heavy Metal, on and on.
06:10These great names have certainly brought us
06:13to where we are right now with these great superstars,
06:16Phoenix and Argenis.
06:17No doubt about it.
06:18You know, back in the day, you know,
06:20Conan, I will give him his props.
06:22Not only was he a legend out of El Paso, Texas,
06:25but back in the day, let me tell you something.
06:27He was the first heavyweight champion
06:29in the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre,
06:31and he started AAA.
06:32Definitely a force to be reckoned with
06:34in all aspects of the world legend
06:36applied to that man, Conan.
06:37I hate to say it, but it's true.
06:40And of course, with the great Lucha Libre style,
06:43it starts at such an early age.
06:46The legend, the Phoenix, said he had his first match
06:49at the tender age of 14 years old.
06:52Oh!
06:53Wow, brother, that was such a stiff kick
06:55that he even knocked himself out.
06:57No, still not enough.
06:58Of course, talking more about the AAA promotion,
07:00many wrestling fans will remember back in 1994
07:03when worlds collided,
07:04the great pay-per-view that brought AAA
07:06to the eyes of the states,
07:07and now Lucha Underground
07:08doing the same for all of Lucha Libre.
07:10What you're seeing here move-wise,
07:12agility-wise, athletic-wise, Matt,
07:14this is suicidal.
07:15There's nobody else in the world
07:16who can even touch Lucha Underground.
07:18It's movement, it's color,
07:19it's passion, it's fight.
07:21Wow.
07:22Keptos up to the ropes,
07:24rolled back through,
07:25Rojanes on his feet,
07:26ducked to the line.
07:27Phoenix on the move now,
07:28went for the belly-to-belly,
07:29rolls around, nice!
07:30Oh, my God.
07:31Brother, he hurt himself.
07:32You see that?
07:33He took that full on the wrist,
07:34all that weight.
07:36You got to check, watch his left hand.
07:38He's hurt.
07:39And Phoenix, Phoenix, no doubt about it.
07:41He took a bad bump.
07:42But we've seen it time and time again
07:44how Phoenix, pardon the pun,
07:46rises from the ashes,
07:48always finds a way to win,
07:50finds a way to fight back.
07:51That's where Phoenix is right now.
07:53Remember in Aztec Warfare,
07:54Phoenix came in number one.
07:56He had to fight his way through.
07:5819 luchadores,
07:59and he just came up short.
08:02Phoenix now using the ropes.
08:05Go for the pin, baby, go for the pin.
08:08Dude, there we see...
08:11My fantasy.
08:12...Katrina,
08:13who's normally associated with Mil Muertes,
08:16but there is no Mil to be seen.
08:19The Black Widow,
08:20when she is walking like that,
08:22death!
08:23Mil Muertes cannot be far behind.
08:25Let's not forget,
08:26the Black Widow,
08:27she's got a lot of experience.
08:30Let's not forget,
08:31Phoenix owns a victory over Mil Muertes.
08:34Perhaps this is a little bit of revenge.
08:37This is a message being sent from the dark side.
08:41Do not trust that woman in any way, shape, or form.
08:44She is evil on heels.
08:47Now our Henness and Phoenix perched high.
08:50If I was in the match and she walked out like that,
08:53I would definitely lose my mind.
08:56Hang on, jockeying for position here.
08:58Beautifully done!
09:00Wow.
09:01Oh, my God.
09:02Over!
09:03Two!
09:04Not enough!
09:05Oh, my God.
09:13Katrina just,
09:14with a watchful eye.
09:17I wish I could really tell you how I felt.
09:24Match continues here.
09:25Ooh.
09:29Phoenix now uses the ring.
09:31Beautifully done!
09:32Rightly so.
09:33The fans are on their feet.
09:35They were waiting for that.
09:36And at the risk of sounding like a pervert, dare I,
09:39Katrina almost looks turned on by this action.
09:42Well, in risk of admitting that I'm a pervert,
09:45I am turned on by this action.
09:55A slap to the neck, last time.
09:57A slap to the neck like that
09:59will certainly tell you quite a bit also, Matt.
10:03Crazy.
10:06I mean, Phoenix is waking up.
10:08We promise not to beat you over the head with social media,
10:10but you can join the conversation on hashtag Lucha Underground.
10:13Tonight is a special night,
10:14and we thank you so much for joining us.
10:17This is not good.
10:18Oh!
10:19Nicely done!
10:20Into the cover!
10:21Is it enough?
10:22No!
10:23Lucha rolls on.
10:24Matt, you get credited worldwide for calling the moves,
10:26but even you were stunned by that.
10:27That was just pure rock and roll.
10:29Now, Argenis looking to put Phoenix away.
10:32Is this the victory that Argenis needs?
10:34Tombstone coming up, perhaps.
10:36Phoenix kicks his feet, shifts his weight.
10:39The match is lit.
10:40And boom!
10:41Fire driver!
10:42Crazy!
10:44One, two.
10:45Phoenix is victorious.
10:47And your winner, Phoenix!
10:52Right over to Katrina and Vamp.
10:54You posed a great question.
10:56Does he even know what he's getting into?
10:58What is she doing there?
10:59Dude, this is not good, man.
11:01And now you see Katrina approaching the bird of war,
11:05never breaking eye contact with Phoenix.
11:11Now the lick of death.
11:13Phoenix is just, like, bewildered, dude.
11:15She's only done this before for Mil Muertes.
11:18She looks possessed.
11:19This is alluring, seductive, and disturbing all at once.
11:23Some of you may dig that,
11:24but I'm not sure how well it bodes
11:26for Argenis, Phoenix, and Mil Muertes.
11:29I dig it.
11:33Reaction is what this sport is all about,
11:36and I can promise you that the reaction tonight
11:39in our main event will be huge.
11:41We will see the debut of Alberto El Patron
11:45here on Lucha Underground,
11:46and the word is that Alberto has something
11:48that he wants to get off of his chest here in the temple.
11:52This is Lucha Underground.
11:54Don't you dare go away.
12:11The power of 1,000 lives is valuable.
12:16And it is that power that was too much for you.
12:23You need to...
12:31I...
12:34need...
12:37not death!
12:52I...
12:56need...
13:00not death!
13:23No!
13:32Next week, you'll pay your debt.
13:53Forgive me, Father, for I'm about to sin.
13:57I'm going to destroy three Judas's who betrayed me.
14:02My child of God, thou shalt not kill.
14:06Father, if you saw what I saw,
14:10you wouldn't want to stop me.
14:12Oh!
14:13Wow, what was that?
14:14Oh, man.
14:15Big Rick made it clear
14:17that anyone that stood in his way would suffer.
14:21No!
14:24I promise you...
14:27these hands won't shed innocent blood.
14:34Bill is a leech
14:35who only came around when the getting got good.
14:39Oh!
14:40And Cortez Castro, he done screwed up.
14:46Mr. Sisko's a worthless little rat.
14:49I couldn't hold him to the same fire.
14:52He held me to.
14:54I led them.
14:56I fed them.
14:58I protected them.
15:01And now, it's time for Big Rick to go Old Testament.
15:10God bless you, my child.
15:12I pray for you to go in peace.
15:17Thank you, Father.
15:18Even God said...
15:27Vengeance is mine.
15:48Here we go!
16:03Well, we want to thank Maria, GL Bronx.
16:05Their sounds have everyone grooving here in the temple.
16:07But the movements of King Cuerno the Hunter
16:10and his attack on Johnny Mundo...
16:12Listen, man.
16:13I hate to cut you off, man,
16:15but the Hunter has got new prey.
16:17But I think we all know Johnny Mundo
16:20is in no way just gonna be another victim.
16:22Well, no, but Mundo and Cuerno will collide.
16:25But before that, Mundo has to go through a bit of havoc.
16:31The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
16:34In the ring, accompanied by Ivelisse
16:39from the open road, Son of Havoc.
16:46Havoc and his girlfriend, Ivelisse.
16:50Kind of crazy that she stormed off
16:53last time we saw these two together.
17:02Finally, Dario Cueto has given me some real competition.
17:11So I'm dedicating tonight's victory
17:15to the baddest bitch in this building
17:19and the love of my life,
17:22the beautiful Ivelisse.
17:24And his opponents,
17:27from Los Angeles, California,
17:31Johnny Mundo!
17:34Trainers were with Johnny Mundo all day long.
17:36You remember last week, Mundo and Cage
17:38had a hellacious battle until King Cuerno
17:40decided to interject himself into the match.
17:43Focuses an attack on Johnny Mundo's left leg.
17:47I'm sure that Havoc is aware of it.
17:49We're gonna have to see if it plays a part in this match.
17:52No doubt about it.
17:53Johnny Mundo's definitely got a bit of a limp, man.
17:55I think his heart's in the right place.
17:57He wants to be the best.
17:58He wants to be the champ.
17:59But maybe he's pushing it, man.
18:00Is it really worth it to put your health on the line like this?
18:03If Johnny were to take a week, two weeks, three weeks off,
18:06Johnny knows with the level of talent in this locker room,
18:09someone would take his place.
18:11That's why Johnny Mundo's competing.
18:13Good call, brother.
18:14A lot of people don't know how tough it is.
18:16This is a hard business, man.
18:17It's a hard business.
18:18It's an even harder sport.
18:20And those are two entirely different things.
18:22We separate them here at Lucha Underground.
18:25Marty Elias, the senior official here at Lucha Underground.
18:28Ring the bell. Here we go.
18:30Havoc on the left in the mask and the beard.
18:32Mundo on the right.
18:33Man, you know what?
18:34I kind of got the feeling that the fans are obviously behind Johnny Mundo
18:38for his spirit.
18:39But Cuerno, you know he collects trophies.
18:42Maybe he's after the head of Johnny Mundo.
18:45You never know.
18:47Go behind now into the headlock.
18:49Johnny's mobility will be compromised.
18:51Havoc will be wise to get Johnny moving early.
18:53And here we go.
18:54Mundo off the ropes.
18:59Rolls over Havoc.
19:00And Johnny sweeps the leg.
19:01Sweep the leg, Johnny.
19:04Oh, nice.
19:05Well, the career trajectory of these two luchadores.
19:07Hang on, Johnny, over for the cover.
19:09Have gone in entirely different directions.
19:11Johnny Mundo consistently on the winning side,
19:14whereas Havoc just can't seem to get out of the box.
19:17Perhaps the ultimate upset here for Havoc will change everything.
19:23I agree with you, but I'm going to have to point out again,
19:27he's not doing too bad, brother.
19:29Look at his girlfriend.
19:30Into the schoolboy.
19:31Not enough.
19:33But every time Mundo kicks out,
19:34every time Mundo pulls himself up off the mat,
19:37strain on the knee.
19:38I hope that that doesn't give out on him.
19:40If that gives out on him, Matt,
19:41if Havoc goes after that knee,
19:43that could damage the career of Johnny Mundo.
19:48Havoc now.
19:51Brother, he is motivated.
19:57Did you see the height on that?
20:00A little more.
20:01James ain't got nothing on Havoc tonight.
20:05Forcing Johnny to move,
20:06and yet Johnny's parkour training and long body
20:11allows Johnny Mundo to cut off the ring.
20:17That was insane.
20:18No regard for his body.
20:20Never has.
20:21He is a warrior.
20:22I've called it.
20:23You've called it.
20:24At least close enough to lend assistance,
20:26Havoc to push Mundo right into the ring post.
20:29There's something about a fiery Latina
20:31that just kind of...
20:32And Ivelisse looks pleased with her man,
20:35and anyone that's been in a contentious relationship
20:37knows happy life, happy life.
20:42Oh, look at that.
20:43Look at the core strength.
20:45That was so crazy.
20:47I'm sure he had to go home
20:49and beg and plead for forgiveness
20:51from giving her that shot that he did last week.
20:53She's obviously forgiving him.
20:55Look at that. She's applauding.
20:56Ivelisse knows if Havoc wins this match,
20:59the checks are bigger,
21:00the bank account is bigger.
21:01It's a better lifestyle for Ivelisse and Havoc.
21:03I cannot believe you just said that.
21:05You're making it sound like she's just ripping for the money.
21:11Havoc winning over the believers
21:13with his resiliency, with his moveset.
21:17Huge dropkick by Mundo.
21:19That was so crazy.
21:22Cover here.
21:23He blew his knee out.
21:24No doubt about it.
21:25You saw him grab it.
21:26But, hey, imagine how much they'd like him
21:29if he actually won a match.
21:35Brother, she is so hot.
21:36Come on, man.
21:37Back to the action now,
21:38and they say that I'm a misogynist.
21:40Oh, brother, that was a bad move.
21:41Got a second here.
21:42Mundo.
21:43There it is.
21:44Oh, not good for his knee.
21:46Oh, as well as the back of the head.
21:48Havoc taking the opportunity.
21:50No.
21:56Johnny's still holding the back of his head.
21:58Brother, you know when you get a shot like that
22:00to the back of the head, back of the neck,
22:01any time a kick or punch or a clothesline,
22:04imagine falling with all your weight with that velocity.
22:07He's got to be knocked out, or at least seeing stars.
22:09It's the only thing that can take the pain away
22:11at this moment for Johnny Mundo.
22:14The left leg is obviously in pain.
22:17The more that this match goes on,
22:19the more it is against Johnny Mundo's chances
22:22of coming out of here with a victory,
22:23I would have to say.
22:24Tick-toe-go-like senton, cover here,
22:26hooking the leg.
22:27Not enough.
22:46Hey, Vam, the choice of the potential submission here,
22:48the knee to the center of the back,
22:49is this wise by Havoc?
22:51Well, you know, he got hit in the neck.
22:53He's seeing stars.
22:54You can see he's grabbing his head.
22:56I don't know if it's dirty pool
22:57to go after an injured leg,
22:58but, hey, it is lucha underground.
23:00It is what it is, man, right?
23:01He needs a victory.
23:03At this stage in his career,
23:04he's got to do what he's got to do,
23:05don't you think?
23:06Nice drop top.
23:07Sends Havoc back and gives Mundo
23:09the opportunity that Mundo needs.
23:11Brother.
23:12Adrenaline is the only thing
23:13that can take the pain away
23:14at this moment for Johnny Mundo.
23:15I loved when Great Mudis
23:16did that back kick, donkey style.
23:18I tried it one time and knocked myself out.
23:22This may not bode well for Havoc.
23:24Wow.
23:25Great agility that is winning the fans over from Havoc.
23:28And now the ugly side of Johnny Mundo comes out.
23:35Man.
23:38He's limping.
23:39He's been pissed off.
23:40Johnny Mundo is a dangerous Johnny Mundo.
23:42Havoc out of desperation now.
23:44Ascends to the top rope.
23:46What does Havoc have in mind?
23:48He frames his picture.
23:49Wow.
23:50Cartwheel off.
23:51Havoc on the move now.
23:53Big clothesline.
23:54Brother, that was like a 450,000 degrees.
23:57Cover, two.
23:58Knocked it off.
24:03You can feel the momentum starting to shift here.
24:07It's even right now.
24:09Whoever hits the next big move
24:10is probably in the best position
24:13to win this match.
24:14Could this be it?
24:15No.
24:16Man, I've said it a million times.
24:18It's like getting hit with a baseball bat.
24:20That's a home run.
24:22Even the fans are feeling it.
24:24Are they saying is Havoc going to actually pull it off?
24:27Here we go.
24:28That's not good for the knee.
24:32Not good for the neck.
24:34Go, man.
24:35What are you doing?
24:38Springboard double stop.
24:39Into the moonsault.
24:40Does he got it?
24:41One, two.
24:42Could this be a miracle?
24:47Wow.
24:48You know what?
24:49I almost feel the fans want him to pull this off
24:51as much as they are behind Johnny Mundo.
24:54Ivelisse is definitely showing her tense
24:57state of affairs right now.
24:59You can say what you want,
25:00but in wrestling, in lucha libre,
25:02stars are built inside the ring
25:05based on what they do,
25:07what they overcome.
25:08Right now, Havoc and Mundo
25:11are stars here at Lucha Underground.
25:15Back elbow there.
25:16Speaking of hard hits, Mundo on the move.
25:18Wow.
25:19Off the distance, jumping pump kick,
25:20but Mundo uses the rope for leverage.
25:25Oh, my God.
25:26How crazy was that?
25:28Nice.
25:29He's got him, brother.
25:30He's got him.
25:31Standing shooting star.
25:32Two.
25:33No.
25:34And he even hooked that damaged knee.
25:36This is crazy.
25:37Seeing the standing shooting star,
25:38I'm reminded of the great lucha revolution
25:40that occurred in the Northeast,
25:41in New York, in Brooklyn.
25:43Guys like The Amazing Red and Brian XL,
25:45and now it is worldwide here on Lucha Underground.
25:48Let's not forget about the original Flying Phoenix,
25:51which would be Hayabusa,
25:53back in his day,
25:54before his God-forsaken injury
25:56that ended his career too short.
25:58That was a classic move.
25:59Speaking of injuries ending careers,
26:01that, of course, was a neck injury,
26:02as you see Johnny Mundo grasping at his neck.
26:05Not good, man.
26:06Not good.
26:08Havoc is going up slow.
26:10Van, at what point do you have to start to wonder
26:12what you have to do to beat your opponent?
26:14What's going through Havoc's mind here?
26:16You know what?
26:17We've talked about this many times, Matt,
26:18and at this stage in the game,
26:19I think you're going on fumes, on adrenaline,
26:21pride, maybe.
26:22The fans have a lot to do with it.
26:24When you're at this stage,
26:25it doesn't hurt anymore,
26:26and it hurts the next day.
26:29Mundo perched high.
26:30The torch is lit.
26:32The dab is taken.
26:33Wow.
26:34Havoc stays put.
26:35Could this be it?
26:37Go, baby, go.
26:38Call it.
26:39He feels it.
26:40Look at him.
26:41Look at the look in his eyes.
26:43Unexcited.
26:44Come on, man.
26:45Havoc trying to show his woman that he's not a loser.
26:48What are you doing?
26:49Go for it now.
26:51No.
26:52Come on.
26:53Come on.
26:56It's yours to take.
26:59Oh, he took too long.
27:01Well...
27:03I'm almost disappointed, dare I say,
27:05and now, and Ivelisse knows it as well.
27:07You can't give Johnny another opportunity like that.
27:10Johnny's just too good.
27:12End of the world.
27:13Here we go to...
27:15What a man.
27:16And your winner,
27:18Johnny Mundo!
27:23Vamp, you said it.
27:24You felt that Havoc took too long
27:26trying to plead with his woman,
27:27but it looks as if...
27:29I'll tell you why.
27:31Come on.
27:32Love can blind a man,
27:33especially if love is a piece of A.S. blank
27:37dressed in a halter top with a body like that.
27:41Hey, man.
27:42Hang on, hang on.
27:43We saw this last week.
27:44Uh-oh.
27:45Cuerno.
27:46Boom!
27:47There you go.
27:48There is no mystery now.
27:49Cuerno is hunting Johnny Mundo.
27:54Cuerno knows Mundo's friendship
27:56with our Lucha Underground champion, Prince Puma.
27:59Perhaps Cuerno knows this is the way
28:01to get to Puma.
28:02To get to the Lucha Underground title.
28:04But Mundo still has some fight.
28:09Ooh.
28:10Wow.
28:11Cuerno has definitely made it known
28:13that he wants that head on his trophy case.
28:17Hang on here.
28:18You've coined the name for this move.
28:20Would you like to call it or should I?
28:23Thrill of the hunt.
28:25And Cuerno slithers away.
28:28Oh, my God, that was so weak,
28:30but he just treated Johnny Mundo like a wounded animal.
28:33Going for the kill.
28:34Left him like a carcass,
28:36hung up to dry in a smoke shed.
28:38The blood-stained planes tell the story.
28:42Cuerno, the hunter, is out for blood.
29:01You live like a slave
29:04With no holiday
29:07How many ways
29:11You can predict
29:14That it feels so good to be gone
29:19But my old guy
29:23Yeah, it feels so good to be gone
29:27Well, we say it down south.
29:29Echo in Mexico, but made right here locally
29:32with the spirit of anything Latino.
29:34Meliachi, El Bronx.
29:36Matt, you're kind of freaking me out.
29:38You're cutting a rug.
29:39I like those guys, man.
29:40Put a little atmosphere of some Sage Francis over it.
29:42It's good.
29:43And Alberto El Patron is here.
29:44How can you not be excited?
29:45Dude, I do not want to rain on your parade,
29:47but Pentagon Jr. is one man who is not happy.
29:51He ain't cutting any rugs.
29:52Kempentagon is often alluded to his master.
29:55We're going to have to find out what that means,
29:56but right now, let's go to the ring.
29:58The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
30:01Introducing first, from Venice Beach, California,
30:05Ricky Mandel!
30:10Yo, man, he reeks of arrogance.
30:13He was 15 years old when he won the first heavyweight championship
30:16of his career down in Puerto Rico.
30:17French-Canadian, my first boss in pro wrestling back in 1984.
30:21Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
30:22Ricky Mandel, not Ricky Martel.
30:24That's what I said, man.
30:25Former AWA champion.
30:26No, no, no. No Jumbo Shruta.
30:27No blinding Jake the Snake.
30:29That's Ricky Mandel.
30:30But, dude, he does reek of arrogance.
30:32And his opponent, from Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico,
30:38Pentagon Jr.
30:43Last time we saw Pentagon Jr.,
30:45he broke Famous B's arm.
30:48This was after the match.
30:50There seems to be a darker side to Pentagon Jr.
30:54It was brutal what he did.
30:56He hurt somebody on purpose.
30:58His attitude is changing.
31:00And he said, Master, animal, I am ready.
31:05There is something dark and sinister going on
31:07in this young man's mind.
31:08Like almost a hero worship for a dark figure.
31:11It's kind of diabolical.
31:13Like a Sith Lord, maybe?
31:15Maybe. Maybe. Could be.
31:20Ricardo! Ricardo! Ricardo!
31:29Again, the sacrifices here at the temple are many,
31:32but none in the form of the aggression of Pentagon.
31:36And now Ricky Mandel will try to do his best
31:39to earn a position here in the title rankings.
31:42Brother, his attitude has changed.
31:45He's almost like wanting to show everybody watching
31:49that he wants to hurt somebody.
31:51Of course, referring to Pentagon
31:53is just his newfound aggression in the ring.
31:57And not for nothing,
31:59but you don't come into this sport to make friends.
32:01You come into the sport to win championships
32:03and make money.
32:04And perhaps the aggression of Pentagon can yield that.
32:07Did you see the viciousness in that kick?
32:10Man, there is an intent to win and do damage,
32:12but there's also an intent to hurt somebody.
32:14You called it, Matt.
32:16He's got an attitude, brother.
32:19Nothing wrong with that now.
32:29Man, his attitude has changed.
32:30You remember at the beginning here in Lucha Underground
32:32in his first few matches, he was struggling,
32:34almost getting caught up in the hype,
32:36looking for guidance from the wrong people.
32:38But now he is changing,
32:39and he's got to turn that attitude up.
32:41He's almost there, man,
32:42but I think the more he loses his mind,
32:44it's going to be to his benefit.
32:46Yeah, but the question is,
32:47who's guiding this newfound attitude?
32:49Who is in the mind of the man known as Pentagon?
32:54Now, Ricky Mandel showing some fire,
32:56and that's good, man.
32:57Every match you're in,
32:58you should fight like it's your last match.
33:00Every match you're in,
33:01you should fight like you hate your opponent.
33:03It is insane that the crowd is supporting
33:06his aggressive style.
33:08We have a unique fan base here at Lucha Underground.
33:11Oh, great. Head scissors there.
33:13Now, Ricky Mandel is chest red
33:15with the welts of Pentagon.
33:17Ricky Mandel, great drop kick now.
33:19Creates some space here.
33:20Mandel needs to pick up the offense here.
33:23You know, he is a warrior.
33:24There's no doubt about it,
33:25but Pentagon is on a mission,
33:27and it's a lot different
33:28when you're trying to win a match
33:29and when you're trying to hurt somebody.
33:31It looked like the kick in the leg earlier
33:32may have slowed down.
33:33Oh!
33:34The space and the timing was way off,
33:36and Pentagon took advantage.
33:38Listen, man, that's experience from Mexico, Japan.
33:41No, no, no.
33:42Oh!
33:43Yes!
33:44Oh, my God.
33:45You like this, don't you?
33:46I love that, but that is, that's not dirty.
33:50That's evil.
33:51He is here sending a message to everybody.
33:54There's a methodical, almost sadistic pleasure
33:58in every movement that Pentagon does.
34:01Great swing blade there.
34:03I often refer to it as the Tanahashi,
34:05but either way, Pentagon well in control.
34:08Ooh!
34:10Come on!
34:18I hate to say it, I've used it before,
34:20but you know when a shark goes in for the kill?
34:23They never kill you.
34:24They bite you.
34:25They watch you suffer,
34:26and they circle, and they come back.
34:28Pentagon is taking little pieces out of this kid's spirit.
34:31The black shark, Pentagon, on the move,
34:33great shot there.
34:34Wow. Jeez.
34:37That is so dangerous to kick somebody
34:39in the back of the net like that.
34:42Uh-oh.
34:43And we saw this last week with Famous B.
34:46And now the crowd being conditioned
34:48to understand what we're about to see here.
34:50This submission hold that Pentagon used
34:53to win the match last week.
34:55Referee Rick Knox right there.
34:57He's toughed out.
34:58Ringing the bell.
34:59Ricky Mandela's giving up.
35:00He's toughed out.
35:01But now here the story continues.
35:03It's not enough.
35:05Let it go, let it go!
35:08Ah!
35:09Look, the kid makes his living in this business.
35:17The fans.
35:19This is the most sadistic crowd.
35:23He put the pressure almost in a Kimura,
35:27dislocated, broke, right at the elbow.
35:30Matt.
35:31Yeah, no doubt about it, man.
35:33He did break that arm right at the elbow.
35:35This is not good.
35:38Yeah!
35:40Hoy...
35:43he conseguido un sacrificio mas
35:47para ti, mi amo.
35:51♪♪
35:56Matt, some insight, please.
35:57He said,
36:00Master, I have found and given you
36:03one more sacrifice tonight.
36:06And he is almost praying,
36:08asking for acceptance on the dark side.
36:12This isn't even about winning anymore.
36:15Wow, Pentagon Jr. talks about no fear.
36:19From fear is born pride,
36:20and a very proud man has finally arrived
36:23here at Lucha Underground.
36:24Alberto El Patron is here.
36:27He will have an open mic.
36:29The waiting is over.
36:31Alberto El Patron will be on your TV screen
36:34next on Lucha Underground.
36:51As you can tell, it's party time.
36:53The waiting is over.
36:54Alberto El Patron is here at Lucha Underground.
36:57The excitement is crazy.
36:59World Heavyweight Champion, ready to go.
37:02Please welcome,
37:03El Campeon del Triple-A,
37:09Alberto El Patron!
37:18There are few moments left in our industry
37:21that send shivers up your spine.
37:24This is one of them.
37:26Alberto El Patron is here in Lucha Underground!
37:43A little over two months ago,
37:44this man captured the Triple-A Heavyweight Championship.
37:49You can see it as he brings it down the steps of the temple.
37:52This is history in the making.
37:54This is Lucha Underground!
37:59I am out of my mind, Matt. I cannot wait.
38:02I have been waiting like you, like the world of wrestling,
38:05to hear what he has to say tonight.
38:08This man and I have shared locker rooms around the world.
38:11He is respected. He is honored.
38:14He is a man of the people,
38:15and it's safe to say that everything now changes.
38:19No doubt about it. There is no looking back.
38:22The fans have opened their arms and hearts to him in an instant.
38:26This is insane.
38:28Lucha royalty in the ring here at Lucha Underground.
38:53Lucha Underground! El Patron! El Patron! El Patron!
38:58El Patron! El Patron! El Patron! El Patron! El Patron!
39:03I knew it. I knew it, baby.
39:05There's only friends here tonight.
39:11And just because of that, I'm going to get rid of all of this.
39:16That's right. You're free now, my friend.
39:19Do whatever you want.
39:21I don't have to impress anybody because all of you are my family.
39:24Mis amigos, chingao!
39:34And this is the best part.
39:35I'm finally here with all my friends in Lucha Underground.
39:43Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
39:47Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
39:50Exactly. That's what I'm talking about.
39:52Lucha! Lucha!
39:55Because as you all know, I come from a Lucha Libre family.
39:59My legendary uncle, Mil Mascaras.
40:03El Psicodélico.
40:06And my father, my inspiration, the great luchador, Dos Caras.
40:16And amigos, they taught me.
40:17They taught me everything I know about this business.
40:20They taught me everything.
40:22The love, the respect, the passion.
40:26Como decimos los latinos, la pura familia, chingao.
40:34And of course, I love that name, Dos Caras Jr., every single day.
40:39But there was a place where I needed to go.
40:42A place that I needed to conquer.
40:45United States.
40:49And it was here, amigos, where I became a household name.
40:54I became an idol, an icon for my people, La Rasta.
41:06Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
41:09Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
41:12Lucha! Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
41:15But then, you don't know what happened.
41:18En el otro lugar, me abrazaban, pero cuando volteaba, me apuñalaban en la espalda.
41:26They disrespected me, my family, and what I represent.
41:31And that's why I'm here.
41:33That's why I left.
41:34Last year in December, I became the first luchador ever
41:38to hold every single major title in North America.
41:50And now you want to know why, why I'm here on the ground?
41:55Why on the ground, I'm going to tell you why, amigos.
41:58I'm going to tell you why, because I'm going to tell you why I'm here on the ground.
42:03I'm here because I wanted to work in a place where the word equal means something.
42:09A place where they don't held you back by the color of your skin.
42:15A place where they only held you back if you don't get the job done.
42:25And baby Alberto, El Patron always get the job done.
42:33El Patron!
42:34El Patron!
42:35El Patron!

44:00El Patron!
44:01El Patron!
44:02The champion that treated everybody like a material.
44:07Big words!
44:09Big, big words, man!
44:12Emerson, the greatest accolade in Mexico is to be the AAA Mega Champion.
44:15Tejano held that title longer than anyone in AAA history until the emergence of Alberto
44:21El Patron.
44:22Yeah he came and stole that belt, in my opinion.
44:25But this goes way back.
44:26This goes way, way, way, way beyond being a champion.
44:28Well, many people feel that Alberto El Patron
44:31is the future of lucha underground,
44:33but it seems that Alberto's past
44:36may be catching up with him.
