00:00I want to make sure that you really are the rabid dogs that will destroy anybody that gets in my way.
00:09Forgive me father, I'm going to destroy three Judas's who betrayed me.
00:15Rick has a good fight with them and with the crew.
00:18So the one who wins between you and Big Rick will be the one who takes the fight against the crew.
00:22Rick places Sexy down.
00:24Rick gets a three on one match. It doesn't happen tonight.
00:27Watch out behind!
00:29And now Sexy Star getting into the fight.
00:31We've mentioned Exodus before and eye for an eye.
00:35Let's not forget the crew took out her friends and she wants revenge.
00:39Congratulations. As much as I've enjoyed this little fight, I'm left wanting more.
00:45Two! We got him!
00:47Arrowstar requested this rematch.
00:49I'm going to let you match each other until one of you wins two more times.
00:54The winner will earn unique opportunities.
00:58You may be a man of a thousand lives, but Mill will not stop until he has taken all of them.
01:05The common denominator here is mortality.
01:08Flatliner, Mill Wardish is victorious.
01:11Wow!
01:12All things must come to an end.
01:15Pasquale Mendoza, I will have Phoenix send you back to the darkness that you came from
01:21in a match that will have grave consequences.
01:25Death is coming for you, Mill Wardish.
01:52We are here in the temple in Boyle Heights once again.
01:56What a crazy night!
01:58And I would like to say thank you to Amanda D-D-D-D-Dita one more time.
02:03Let's lucha!
02:07The following lucha is the title match.
02:10And the winner of this match is...
02:12The winner of this match is...
02:15The winner of this match is...
02:19The following lucha is the third match in a best of five series.
02:27Introducing first, currently with one victory, from the Cosmos, Arrowstar!
02:35Well, we've come to know and respect the skills of this luchador here.
02:39And after an incredible singles match against Drongo,
02:42it impressed Dario Cueto so much that Dario had a plan.
02:45It took a second incredible contest between these two
02:48for Dario Cueto to implement a best of five series
02:51in which Dario promised the winner a unique opportunity.
02:55And Vamp, as we've come to learn from our owner, Dario Cueto,
02:58these unique opportunities change careers here in Lucha Underground.
03:02Everybody's here to make a name for themselves,
03:04and Arrowstar definitely has done that real quick.
03:07And his opponent, also currently with one victory,
03:11from El Inframundo, Drago!
03:17Every time that I hear the word Inframundo, I get excited
03:20because that means the dark side.
03:22That means from underbelly of the smut that is on the streets
03:26of Los Angeles, California, here in Boyle Heights.
03:29I'm a huge fan of this guy, Matt.
03:31We're only going to see bigger and better things as time goes on.
03:34Do you agree or do you not agree?
03:35Absolutely. I've gone on record to say that Drago is one of my favorite luchadores
03:39here in Lucha Underground.
03:41And like I told you at the beginning of this,
03:43it was almost like a clasico, like in football or baseball,
03:46you know, when two teams play each other and time goes on.
03:49This is a series that has definitely won over the fans,
03:51won over me and you in the TV audience.
03:53Don't doubt about that.
03:54The third match in the best of five series, a pivotal match.
03:57Referee Rick Knox with the arm held high, ringing the bell.
04:00Here we go.
04:02Yeah!
04:20When you think of best of series, you can't help but remember
04:22Magnum T.A. and Nikita Kolov.
04:24And after that series, neither wrestler was the same.
04:27You have to start to ask what happens to these two luchadores
04:30at the end of this series.
04:33Well, that's really cool that you said that, Matt,
04:35because these guys have got a history.
04:37They've wrestled many, many times in the depths of the underbelly in Mexico.
04:41So this is nothing new to them,
04:43although it is new to them here in Lucha Underground,
04:45different circumstances.
04:48You see Drago with his unique offense,
04:50and as we've come to know here in Lucha Underground,
04:53Dario Cueto's unique opportunities in the past have involved money,
04:57championship opportunities.
04:59So you can only imagine what Dario has in his sick, twisted mind,
05:02and I say that with the utmost respect.
05:04Well, I don't. He likes to blackmail everybody.
05:06He hasn't gotten to me yet. I don't know what your deal is,
05:08but, hey, everybody's got a price.
05:12Ha ha ha. Drago now with the modified Indian Death Lock.
05:14You see Aerostar trying to creep to the ropes.
05:16Drago rolling over.
05:17Aerostar realizes where he is.
05:19The ropes just out of reach.
05:20There's the reprieve there.
05:21Once Aerostar can capture the ropes,
05:23the referee's forced to make the break.
05:25Man, this reminds me when I was working security
05:27for Marco Antonio Barrera when he was fighting.
05:29You know, he'd fight two or three times,
05:31you know, Tapia, Morales.
05:34You know, those were wars.
05:35I think that we're on the same path here.
05:37Well, eso que ni que.
05:39This is certainly going to be classic.
05:41These two luchadores will certainly vault their status
05:44and title contention with victories here.
05:46Greatly done there by Aerostar into a pinning combination.
05:49Is it an up-note?
05:50You know what freaks me out about Aerostar,
05:52and I say this with respect, according to Matt Stryker,
05:55every time this kid comes in the ring,
05:57he brings one or two things new.
05:59Every single time, he's got a new move.
06:01Aerostar in the gold, Drago in the blue.
06:03Drago on the move, Aerostar up and over,
06:05creating space, leg trip there.
06:09You see Aerostar holding his left quad, perhaps his knee.
06:12We'll keep an eye on that as the match rolls on.
06:14Of course, speed certainly a great asset
06:17to both of these fighters.
06:19Strength, determination.
06:22Slam down to the mat, hard by Drago.
06:25Shoulders are down.
06:27More lucha.
06:30And it's great to see that the fans here are on the edge.
06:34They're getting into it.
06:35This is one of those matches that deserves respect,
06:38and the fans are certainly demonstrating that.
06:41Only here in lucha underground do the fans support the product.
06:44You know what I mean? It's awesome.
06:46Not only do the fans have the respect,
06:47but these two luchadores respect one another as well,
06:49and that's why it's going to come down to counter-wrestling
06:52and opportunity, as Aerostar takes advantage
06:54of circumstance right there.
06:56Vamp, you've had storied wars against opponents
06:59that you've had multiple matches with.
07:01After two, three times, what starts to happen?
07:03It's almost like a calm before the storm, you know,
07:05because you know what you're going to get into.
07:07You know the pain.
07:09You know the pain.
07:10You know the excruciating mental process
07:12you've got to go through before you get in there.
07:14It scars you in a way.
07:15Now, did you watch footage of your opponents
07:17before you got in the ring with them?
07:19You know what? Interesting question.
07:20I've never done that.
07:21I've just kind of tried to go off the energy of the fans,
07:24but everybody's different, bro.
07:25Hang on here.
07:26Oh!
07:27That was crazy.
07:28We've talked about it many times here on lucha underground.
07:30As the ring begins to tilt, momentum begins to favor
07:33whichever luchador can rise to their feet first.
07:36You can feel the tension.
07:37I said it before, man, it's like a multi-match.
07:40You know, those kicks, they're all going to the ribs,
07:42but it's who can take the hardest punch and get back.
07:44Drago up first.
07:45Aerostar with the counter.
07:46Drop toe hold into the robes.
07:47Drago has his eyes on Aerostar.
07:49Aerostar realizes that,
07:50goes into what seems to be a defensive position,
07:53creates offense from it.
07:55Aerostar now using the ring as a weapon.
07:57Nice basement drop kick there.
07:59Sends Drago out to the floor,
08:00and as we've come to learn,
08:01the floor is no sanctuary here in the temple.
08:04It's almost like you've got to take the ring out
08:06so they've got more room to play.
08:07Oh!
08:08Springboard trucks dive in.
08:10Aerostar hits it.
08:12You know, he's something else.
08:14He's hurt, no doubt about it.
08:17Wow.
08:19This match, so important.
08:21The winner takes the lead in the series
08:23and has the momentum going forward.
08:25They're pulling all stops out
08:27to get that psychological advantage
08:29to win that unique opportunity, it looks like, Matt.
08:31Aerostar calls that move la bombita.
08:34And, of course, a count-out victory
08:37would serve just as well,
08:38but Aerostar, Drago, way too much pride.
08:41Both men make their way back into the ring.
08:44Aerostar on the move.
08:45Aerostar now on the floor.
08:46Drago has position and takes advantage.
08:49Man, you've got to...
08:50These guys tomorrow are going to be hurting.
08:52Is it really worth that opportunity?
08:54Oh, yeah.
08:55We've seen what Dario presents to his luchadors,
08:57so, of course, it's worth it.
08:58Oh!
08:59Ropung DDT!
09:00Yeah, dude.
09:01Cover!
09:02Shoulders are down.
09:03That's not a deep cover there.
09:04Sometimes Dario, you know,
09:06his opportunities comes with a twist, Matt.
09:09Aerostar!
09:13Aerostar on the move now.
09:14Drago has Aerostar up.
09:15Notice the position and placement of the hands.
09:17This usually results in some type of spin-out.
09:20Oh, my God!
09:23Two!
09:24Not enough!
09:25Wow.
09:26You know, sometimes you get lost in the action,
09:27but the way these luchadors pivot their hips
09:29and their shoulders,
09:30it just takes an instant for the offense to change.
09:35Bates Drago in.
09:36Drago now onto the apron.
09:37Block.
09:38Slap.
09:39Now Aerostar.
09:40Checks his position.
09:41Tries to find a better position,
09:42but Drago takes advantage.
09:44Dip in.
09:45Dip out.
09:46And it comes that these two are learning each other so well.
09:48This does not bode well for Drago.
09:51Oh!
09:52Doma!
09:53Damn, brother.
09:54That was brutal.
09:56You talked about the price that these luchadors will pay.
09:59It's evident right there.
10:01He may never be a fighter again, Matt.
10:03He just got stumped.
10:06He's calling for it.
10:10Drago rolling out of the way, as you can see.
10:12And once again, both luchadors are down.
10:23Aerostar now shoves Drago.
10:25Tries to create space.
10:26Drago hung out there like a spider in a web,
10:28and Aerostar fell for the bait.
10:30Uh-oh.
10:32He's feeling it.
10:36Cuts through.
10:37Oh!
10:38The fire-breathing phenom, Drago,
10:41now has momentum on his side.
10:45How cool is that?
10:46The fans are just saying it like it is.
10:48Lucha, lucha, lucha.
10:50No matter where you go now in the world,
10:53not just North America,
10:54pump your fist in the air and say it along with everybody.
10:57Drago has definitely turned this crowd around onto his favor.
11:00Punk'd, of course, the believers here in the temple,
11:03some of the most educated fans in all of wrestling.
11:05They respect the athletes.
11:07They respect the luchadors.
11:08It's got to be taking its toll, man.
11:10These guys are falling on their heads, their backs,
11:12getting their knees blown out.
11:13This is nuts.
11:15Speaking of nuts there, Aerostar taking advantage.
11:18Lower abdomen, lower abdomen.
11:20Upper thigh.
11:21Hang on now.
11:22Drago's setting up for what looks like it may be
11:24a piledriver or a powerbomb,
11:26but then again, with Drago, we never know.
11:28Oh!
11:29Running sit-out powerbomb there,
11:31but Drago doesn't have enough to go for the cover just yet.
11:35Because you know very well
11:37that he's not going to disappoint the fans, dude.
11:41Drago climbing high here.
11:44Oh, man.
11:45Aerostar's resiliency to be able to come up from that powerbomb
11:48tells you a lot about the man that's under the mask.
11:50What the hell is he doing?
11:51He's very far away here,
11:52but we've seen that that doesn't matter.
11:54It's Aerostar's unique offense there.
11:57That was beautifully done.
12:00Oh, my God.
12:01Why go around the corner?
12:02We can simply go across the street.
12:04And now Aerostar poised to take perhaps the lead
12:07in this best-of-five series.
12:09Is it enough?
12:10Yes!
12:11And your winner, Aerostar!
12:16And now with that victory,
12:18Aerostar needs one more win in this best-of-five series
12:22to earn Dario Cueto's new unique opportunity.
12:28These two have earned the respect of one another.
12:30They've earned the respect and attention of our owner,
12:32Dario Cueto,
12:33and now what's been customary in the last two matches
12:36with these two is this nice show of respect,
12:38this handshake.
12:39Will we see it again?
12:42Wow.
12:43A little snub there in that handshake.
12:45Mutual respect, but both these luchadores
12:47know what is at stake.
12:48Drago now has a huge task ahead of him,
12:51whereas Aerostar needs only one more win.
12:55We're not done.
12:56Not at all.
12:57There is still a massive main event to come.
13:00Grave consequences is tonight.
13:02And the only way to win
13:03is to put your opponent in the coffin
13:07and close the lid maybe forever.
13:09That's right.
13:10It'll be Phoenix vs. Mil Muertes.
13:11Grave consequences tonight!
13:20Chess is like...
13:26war.
13:31Each move.
13:38Each counter.
13:43Each attack.
13:55They're all just different chapters
13:58in the play of combat.
14:02See, life's battles
14:05don't always go to the stronger
14:09or faster person.
14:13The key to victory in this fight,
14:18in this lucha,
14:22is to put oneself in the perfect position
14:27to protect el rey, the king.
14:33Because sooner or later,
14:37the one who wins...
14:52The one who wins is the one that believes he can.
14:56¿Me entiendes?
14:58You understand?
15:05What Cage has just done is absolutely disgraceful.
15:09It will be hell to pay.
15:12CASE CLOSED
15:20Still to come, Big Rick gets what he wants.
15:23The crew in the ring.
15:25Three-on-one elimination match is next.
15:42The following lucha is a no-disqualification
15:46three-on-one elimination match.
15:49Currently in the ring,
15:52from the streets,
15:54the crew.
15:56The crew made up of Bale, Cortez Castro, and Mr. Sisko
16:00have left a wake of destruction here,
16:03taking out Pimpinela Escalante, Masquerita Sagrada,
16:06as well as Big Rick's right eye.
16:08Tonight, Big Rick gets revenge, and Big Rick earned this match.
16:12Some would say a very different type of victory over Sexy Star,
16:16but we'll get into that as this match rolls on.
16:19And their opponents,
16:21from the City of Angels,
16:24Big Rick!
16:28Listen, they say revenge is a dish best served cold,
16:32but here comes a heated and angry man,
16:35and the symbolism of the Dutch in the mouth,
16:38the cigar in the mouth, shows you that Big Rick,
16:41he's quoted the Book of Exodus.
16:43He's a very pious man. He said,
16:45an eye for an eye, and tonight, Big Rick has revenge
16:48in this three-on-one elimination match.
16:51Now, real quick, the ways to eliminate your opponent.
16:54Pinfall, submission, referee stoppage, or countout.
16:58There's no disqualifications here.
17:00Whose hand does that play into? Who has a favorite?
17:02He's a very pious man.
17:04Brother, he's a monster who's here to kick everybody's ass.
17:11These four men all know each other very well.
17:13They used to run together.
17:15Big Rick was once the leader of the crew,
17:17the de facto leader, if you will, but Big Rick told the crew
17:20when Big Rick was going to pursue the Lucha Underground title,
17:23stay out of my way. The crew felt disrespected.
17:25They felt dissed in public, and thus the turn, and now this.
17:28Hey, man, it's a prison fight, brother.
17:33This three-on-one is not going to bode well for Big Rick,
17:36and it's wise to get the big man down.
17:38Did you see how they did that? They went straight for the ankles,
17:40just like in Wigan, England, brother.
17:42Why not? Took the tree down. It is what it is.
17:46And you know when Big Rick is powerful, it is on his back.
17:49It's not in his favor, Matt.
17:51Although when he explodes like a volcano, as we saw two weeks ago,
17:54he threw those boys across the ring.
17:57And each member of the crew bring a significant aspect.
18:01There you see Cortez Castro, many say pound for pound
18:03the best wrestler from the crew.
18:09Uh-oh. Wow.
18:11They like to call this the treatment.
18:13They're giving Big Rick the treatment.
18:15There was Mr. Sisko. Here comes Bale right there.
18:18Some say Bale is the most aggressive,
18:20yet it was Mr. Sisko that burned Rick's eyes.
18:23So pick your poison here.
18:25Pure speculation that Mr. Sisko had to earn the stripes by doing that.
18:28You know how it is.
18:31I told you. What did I tell you?
18:33Get him mad. Pay the price.
18:35Big Rick back on his feet.
18:37The crew definitely wants to bring Big Rick down.
18:39We're all the same size and we're on our back as Mr. Sisko now.
18:42Double stomp into the DDT, creative there.
18:45Cover here. Lefty boarding down. No.
18:48Wow. Man, that's bravery right there.
18:52Mr. Sisko.
18:54Little ginger.
18:56But I don't know, man. I don't know if I'd be brave or I'd be scared.
18:59I'd be fighting for my life.
19:01And, you know, the last time we saw Big Rick,
19:03he was in a match against Sexy Star that our owner, Dario Cueto,
19:06forced these two in because Sexy wanted a piece of the crew as well.
19:09Big Rick did the honorable thing.
19:11He gained the victory without actually, let's say, hurting Sexy Star.
19:15So there's some respect there.
19:17But the crew came out. They attacked Sexy Star.
19:20They attacked Big Rick.
19:21Equal opportunity ass kickers are the crew.
19:24And the no disqualification comes into play here
19:26as Bale has himself a chair.
19:30Bale strategically placing the metal chair in the corner.
19:37We've talked about this before, but the right side of Big Rick is blind.
19:41And that seems to be the side that the crew is attacking from.
19:45Yeah.
19:46Oh.
19:47Not doing much good right there.
19:49Oh!
19:52Oh!
19:54The no disqualification comes into play.
19:56You have to wonder if Dario made this no DQ to play to the crew's strength,
19:59but it seems to be playing to Big Rick's strength.
20:02Big Rick is tense.
20:03Oh, boy.
20:05And now retribution for Big Rick.
20:08You don't need two eyes to whoop somebody's ass, man.
20:10Oh, he broke the stick over Mr. Sisko.
20:15The Book of Deuteronomy says,
20:17Oh, the Lord shall smite thee with madness and blindness
20:21and astonishment of the heart.
20:23I can't even get it out because the brutality is way too much
20:26to be quoting scripture during.
20:28Crazy.
20:29Unforgiving is the rap.
20:32Elimination.
20:34Bale has been eliminated.
20:37Goodbye, Bale.
20:38Thanks for playing.
20:41Cortez now back in.
20:43Big Rick.
20:44He's got him.
20:45He's goozled him.
20:47It's still two on one, though.
20:49You see the remnants of this destruction of the ring.
20:53Look at the smile on Rick's face.
20:56They were about to get schooled.
20:59Cortez and Mr. Sisko now going for the double suplex.
21:02And if you've ever watched wrestling before,
21:04I'm sure you can tell how this is going to turn out.
21:06Not good for somebody like him.
21:09Big Rick is brutally strong, dude.
21:12The believers are enjoying it.
21:14I guess we put smiles on people's faces here at Lucha Underground.
21:19Hang on a second here.
21:22That broken stick.
21:23Oh, now used as a weapon at the clothesline.
21:25Cover.
21:26Oh, one on one now.
21:29Cortez Castro has been eliminated.
21:32If you were Mr. Sisko, what would you do?
21:36If you were Mr. Sisko, what would be going through your mind right now?
21:39Well, Rick knows that it's Sisko that did the deed.
21:42That Sisko burned Rick's eye.
21:44Sisko knows that Rick knows.
21:46See you later, pal.
21:48Exactly.
21:49Yeah.
21:52And he's telling him, me and you next time, son.
21:55Not today.
21:56Look at this.
21:57Look who's blocking his path.
21:59There is Sexy Star who has a legit beef with the crew as well.
22:03There you go.
22:05Sexy Star kicked him down the step.
22:08Yeah, Sexy is sending Mr. Sisko back into the lion's den.
22:12Sexy! Sexy! Sexy!
22:15This is crazy.
22:16She wanted this fight just as much as Big Rick did.
22:20Sexy Star fighting for the honor of her friends,
22:23Masquerita Sagrada and Pimpanela Escalante.
22:26And now Big Rick.
22:27That was international.
22:29Has the hand held high?
22:31Could this be?
22:32Oh!
22:33Right to the eye!
22:35Big Rick has talked about an eye for an eye.
22:38And it goes to show you that Big Rick doesn't need to burn you with a cigar.
22:41He just burns you with that clubbing right hand.
22:44Brother, that was like a cement block.
22:46Cracking Mr. Sisko on the melon.
22:51Oh, man.
22:52From the looks of it, Mr. Sisko is wearing the wounds of war.
23:02Oh, yeah.
23:04An eye for an eye, dude.
23:06He's going to knock that eye right out the socket.
23:09Break his nose, too.
23:10He's going to break everything.
23:11Uh-oh.
23:12Wait a minute.
23:13The urinage, a signature maneuver of Big Rick.
23:17Sisko is busted straight up right.
23:20Oh!
23:21Oh!
23:22Oh!
23:241, 2, 3!
23:26Redemption belongs to Big Rick!
23:29Well, he could give him for an hour and a half if he wanted to.
23:33Big Rick gets his revenge against the crew,
23:36and that seems to be the theme tonight.
23:38Because Phoenix, the man of 1,000 lives,
23:41takes on Mil Muertes, the man of 1,000 deaths.
23:44It'll be grave consequences, and revenge will be sweet.
23:47It comes your way next, only on Lucha Underground.
24:00Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
24:01We have huge breaking news for you.
24:03Dario Cueto has just signed the check next week
24:06for the first time ever.
24:09The AAA Championship will be defended right here in the temple.
24:13The champion, Alberto El Patron,
24:15against the challenger, Tejano.
24:17And get this, it'll be a bull rope match.
24:19That's not all, though.
24:21That is not all.
24:22The number one contender for the Lucha Championship,
24:25the machine we call Cage, has got his match.
24:28But our champion, Prince Puma, has requested, no,
24:33he has demanded that it will be a Boyle Heights
24:36street fight match, and he has got it.
24:39That's all coming, but right now, it's grave consequences.
24:46The following lucha is grave consequences.
24:51The only way to win is to put your opponent in the coffin
24:56and slam it shut.
25:00There you see the ominous sight of the funerary box,
25:04the coffin, if you will.
25:06One of these luchadores must be stuffed inside
25:08and incapacitated to the point that they cannot push that top open.
25:12This, of course, representative of the Day of the Dead.
25:16Ma'am, I'm sure you have some knowledge about that.
25:18Yes, I definitely do, Matt.
25:19This is nothing to do with the North American version of Halloween.
25:23This happens on the second day of November.
25:25This could be used for two things.
25:27Usually, this is used by families to pay respect
25:30to family members who have departed,
25:31and this is their way if they go and they dress like that
25:34and they go to the cemetery and they have a picnic on the grave
25:37so the family members can come back in their spirit form
25:40and reunite one time a year.
25:41Or if you practice witchcraft, that's a whole different deal.
25:44This is almost a symbol, a sign,
25:46that you are going to be sent to the other side,
25:49and when you cross that line
25:50and you get these guys that are waiting for you,
25:52they're going to take you to some place
25:54where you do not want to be.
25:55Well, either way, this is an eerie sight in the temple.
25:59These symbols of death, perhaps a sign of things to come,
26:03foreshadowing for either Phoenix or Mil Muertes
26:06as one of these men will be put inside the coffin.
26:10We see it ringside.
26:12Introducing first, from beyond the grave,
26:17the man of a thousand deaths,
26:21Mil Muertes!
26:28Mil Muertes, who has been a tortured soul
26:30over the past few weeks, walks with conviction,
26:33a very serious toll on the man of a thousand deaths.
26:37The thing that I'm freaking out about right now,
26:39is Mil Muertes has come to the ring with that sacred rock.
26:43He was almost holding it like a heart
26:45that he tore into somebody's chest.
26:47Mil Muertes versus Phoenix.
26:49Grave consequences coming our way
26:52next on Lucha Underground.
26:59Lucha! Lucha!
27:01Lucha! Lucha!
27:06Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
27:08His grave consequence is already in the ring,
27:10the man of a thousand deaths, Mil Muertes.
27:13And his opponent, from Mexico City, Mexico,
27:18the man of a thousand lives,
27:21Phoenix!
27:26And now the man of a thousand lives, Phoenix.
27:29And there seems to be this common denominator here.
27:31One thing that unites all of us, rich, poor,
27:34man, woman, or child, it's death.
27:36We are all equal in our mortality.
27:44There you see Katrina. Hang on a second here.
27:46Katrina has come down with Phoenix.
27:48Katrina has long been associated with Mil Muertes,
27:51but now seems to be aligned with Phoenix.
27:53And here we go.
27:54Oh, so...
27:57Ooh!
27:59A spring is upon us.
28:01It always means rebirth and life.
28:03But tonight it may mean death for one of these luchadors.
28:07Mil Muertes means business.
28:09This is his deal.
28:10This is where he wants to be,
28:12as close to death as possible.
28:15Of course, you have to believe that this type of match
28:18plays into Mil Muertes' favor.
28:20You need to be very brutal.
28:25Mil will enjoy a power advantage.
28:27Phoenix needs to use his speed and high-flying ability.
28:29Big right hand from Mil Muertes now.
28:31Mil Muertes has the advantage.
28:32He's beaten Phoenix twice.
28:34But I think the advantage is more so
28:36that Mil is familiar with death.
28:38Well, Mil has always used the psychology of death
28:41against his opponents.
28:42And there you see Phoenix moving the coffin away
28:45to create space here.
28:47Oh, Mil had it well scouted.
28:49Yeah.
28:50Remember, Phoenix owns a victory
28:51over the previously undefeated Mil Muertes.
28:54Let me tell you something, man.
28:55Being involved in vampire cults almost all my life,
28:58this is something that messes with your psyche.
29:00You go on the dark side, and you're not okay.
29:02You get sick mentally.
29:03It's a hard road to get out of.
29:05You know what I mean?
29:06Phoenix on the move.
29:08Oh!
29:10Don't go out of his way.
29:11I mean, Phoenix blew.
29:13Did you see how he went over?
29:14He almost looked like a mummified body
29:16getting thrown off the side of a ship.
29:22Something's different here in Phoenix.
29:24He's dressed in black for the first time.
29:26Maybe he's trying to get a little bit of an advantage
29:29being on the dark side, maybe.
29:31Good point.
29:32Yeah, but he just got that smacked out of him.
29:35Mil seems to be very comfortable
29:37in his surroundings here.
29:39Uh-oh.
29:40You have to keep in mind the position of that box.
29:43You have to stuff your opponent in it.
29:44Now you have to get the box right side up.
29:46A little floral arrangement there for Phoenix.
29:49I don't think either of these guys will be sitting shiver
29:51or going to a wink after this.
29:53And if you get that, good for you.
29:55I got to admit, this is my favorite kind of match.
29:58I'm more of a fan than anything else right now,
30:00but I certainly do not want to be in Phoenix's shoes.
30:03There you go.
30:04Mil Wise to turn the box over.
30:07Dragging it.
30:15Stole his girl.
30:16Oh!
30:18Stole his life.
30:20Talking about Phoenix
30:21and his newfound relationship with Katrina.
30:29Phoenix is calling for it.
30:31Bird of prey, dressed in black,
30:33telling you, I'm coming, baby.
30:35Phoenix now creating the distance.
30:39Oh!
30:41Geez.
30:42Mil using his elements.
30:45Now the man that represents death stands upon the coffin.
30:50You got to remember, he was buried alive.
30:52This is nothing new to him.
30:53He likes this.
30:54You got to remember, this is where he's most familiar.
30:57Referring to Mil Muertes' origin.
31:00Oh, man, he's ripping his head off.
31:02Grabbing Phoenix by the sacred mask.
31:04We've discussed what the masks mean
31:06to the luchadores here in Lucha Underground.
31:08You know what, but he's going to tear Phoenix's head.
31:11Oh, geez.
31:12And, Vamp, there's a lot of dishonor there, no?
31:15It's a huge dishonor, but at the same time,
31:18you know, you're almost tearing his soul out.
31:20You'll notice there is no official in the ring.
31:23The officials are only present
31:25to ensure that the coffin is sealed.
31:28So this definitely gives Mil on a night
31:31that has a theme of brutality.
31:33He's going to...
31:34Mil has that turnbuckle piece there.
31:36He's going to bust his head open.
31:39We want love! We want love!
31:42Oh, no.
31:43Oh, geez.
31:44Ooh!
31:46And again, Mil Muertes tore Phoenix's mask
31:50to expose Phoenix's head.
31:52Mil knows exactly what he's doing
31:54as now Mil with a bit of a lick of death of his own.
31:58Phoenix is busted wide open.
32:05There's a theme going on tonight.
32:07We've seen it with Big Rick and the crew.
32:09We see it now with Mil Muertes and Phoenix.
32:11Oh, man.
32:12Matt, I hate to say it,
32:14but I really want to see him hit him again.
32:17I'm digging this so much.
32:20Blood throughout his face.
32:22Blood throughout.
32:23He's biting him.
32:24Phoenix's face almost fully exposed.
32:27This is so personal to Mil.
32:29He wants to kill this kid.
32:38Like a shark.
32:39Smells blood.
32:40He's going in for the kill.
32:43Uh-oh.
32:47Unforgiving concrete steps of the temple
32:50as these two rise high above.
32:52Forget about the ring.
32:53This is way beyond the grave.
32:55This is going to another level of violence, Matt.
32:59Another level of brutality here in the temple.
33:03Phoenix is definitely in over his head.
33:06Bitten off way more than he can chew.
33:08Don't knock on death's door.
33:10You never know what's gonna answer.
33:13Uh-oh.
33:15These two are high above the temple.
33:21He's gonna kill him.
33:23He's gonna throw him off.
33:25Perhaps Mil at the altar of the dead.
33:28Telling the believers to move.
33:31Look at the concern on Katrina's face.
33:34No way. No way.
33:36Phoenix struggling.
33:37Phoenix knows what his fate is if Mil can use his power.
33:41Phoenix turns it around, though.
33:44The crowd.
33:45Mil's big right hand may have saved him there.
33:49Uh-oh.
33:50This fight continues high above.
33:53Ooh!
33:56Man.
33:57What's your ring?
34:04As they tumble down the treacherous air
34:08like a bowling ball.
34:10You have to believe that.
34:11That's the better way to get down to the floor
34:13for both of these guys.
34:15Watch out. Watch out.
34:18Over by our announce table.
34:19We'll do our best to stay with you.
34:21If we lose transmission, we apologize.
34:24Mil seems to have Phoenix set for the powerbomb.
34:28You have to believe that.
34:30You have to believe that.
34:32You have to believe that.
34:34You have to believe that.
34:36You have to believe that.
34:38You have to believe that.
34:40One more time.
34:42One more time.
34:44One more time.
34:47This is awesome!
34:50This is awesome!
34:53This is awesome!
34:55This is awesome!
34:58This is awesome!
35:01This is awesome!
35:04Here we go. We are back now.
35:06Matt, we are covered in blood.
35:08The table's busted.
35:09And now back to the whole entire point of this match.
35:13Mil Muertes dragging the coffin into the ring
35:16right onto the Aztec seal.
35:18Blood all over our announce position.
35:21Monitor's busted.
35:23This is crazy!
35:24And for everything Phoenix has earned here in the temple,
35:27for everything Phoenix has done,
35:29is this worth the price?
35:32Well, I don't know.
35:34I think he got brainwashed by the beauty.
35:38Come on, man!
35:42Phoenix now.
35:44He has done so many times.
35:46Rising from the ashes.
35:48Oh, my God!
35:50He busted the coffin!
35:52He busted it!
35:53Look at the dent with his back!
36:00Insane!
36:03The fans are certainly saying it for us.
36:07And now Neil once again with a mouth full of sangria,
36:10if you will.
36:12Some of the faithful turning away.
36:15Matt, our table is covered in blood.
36:18This is insanity.
36:20Yup, Lucha Underground continues to push the envelope
36:22each and every week.
36:23Where else are you going to see this?
36:30Phoenix has tempted death,
36:32and death has come for him full force tonight.
36:35Definitely paying the price for knocking on the wrong door.
36:38And everything Phoenix has withstood,
36:40the guy's still standing!
36:42He's still fighting!
36:44What do they say about the Phoenix?
36:47He will always rise from whatever beating you're going to give
36:50from the Phoenix of the ashes.
36:52The Phoenix will not go down.
36:55Uh-oh.
36:57Jesus!
37:01Oh, my God.
37:04Neither luchador has attempted to open...
37:07He's in convulsions.
37:08That's how he beat him two weeks ago.
37:10Attempted to open the coffin here.
37:13They just want to beat the tar out of one another,
37:15especially Neil.
37:17Those cold, dark eyes shimmering with hate.
37:20Hey, man.
37:21And you can just see Katrina is just enthralled.
37:26Katrina may be what's fueling Neil's brutality here.
37:30Neil is on a miss.
37:32He's just obsessed, possessed with destroying Phoenix.
37:43Forget about it, man.
37:44This is insane.
37:48I've never been sitting in a pool of blood.
37:50Where are they going?
37:51Think we can get cameras to follow them there?
37:53Where'd they go?
37:55We'll do our best to get our camera crew to follow them.
37:57There you go.
37:58Oh, wow.
37:59They are back in the crowd.
38:01They are cleaning house, literally.
38:04Yeah, but this isn't a nice, refined arena.
38:07Wow.
38:08You know, there's a lot of jagged edges
38:10and just dirty areas there.
38:12With Phoenix busted open like that,
38:13you start to wonder about this young man's health,
38:16his safety, and the future of his career.
38:18The people are running for their lives.
38:20Look at the faces.
38:21Oh!
38:23Once again, these two are up high off the floor.
38:26Milt is tearing the arena apart piece by piece.
38:29This is what you get when you come to the temple, baby.
38:32Oh, damn.
38:36This is insanity, brutality.
38:38This fight has been all Mil Muertes.
38:41He just got knocked the hell far right there.
38:46Phoenix is bloodied, beaten, and broken,
38:49but he is still on his feet.
38:50Say what you want about this kid,
38:52whether he wins or loses,
38:54Phoenix has earned the respect of the believers here,
38:57and now perhaps the ultimate sacrifice
39:00for Phoenix, grave consequences!
39:06Covered in blood, broken, beaten,
39:09with the fans on their feet,
39:11Phoenix has risen from the ashes once again.
39:15With every beat of a warrior's heart,
39:18Phoenix wears the wounds of war but will not quit.
39:22Brother, Katrina is just right in the midst.
39:24She was right there.
39:30Oh!
39:32Oh, my God.
39:34That shook the foundations of the temple.
39:36Yeah, and every time Phoenix tries to get going,
39:38it's just Milt continuing this massacre,
39:41this mauling.
39:45Oh, man.
39:46Into the rusty iron gates here.
39:50Oof.
39:51He will not go down.
39:56Now Milt down to a knee.
39:58This is something we've never seen.
39:59This is a different level.
40:00Phoenix needs to do something special here,
40:02and that may be what's running through
40:04the bloody mind of the Phoenix!
40:07Oh, God damn!
40:11Wow!
40:14Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
40:16The fans don't even know what to do!
40:19Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
40:21Mil Muertes' path of rage has been littered with bodies
40:25for months here in Lucha Underground.
40:29Blood, broken bones, beatings,
40:33the roses of sympathy stuck to Mil Muertes' back.
40:38Katrina is just, like, right in the middle of this.
40:42Yeah, Katrina enjoys this, so it seems.
40:45Whoa!
40:46Oh, shit!
40:47Oh, my God!
40:48Oh, man!
40:51Remember the relationship between Mil and Katrina,
40:55and Mil seems to have remorse here.
40:58Phoenix takes advantage.
40:59Mil showed a modicum of emotion,
41:01a touch of humanity, and Phoenix took advantage.
41:04How ironic.
41:05And still, throughout all of this,
41:08the coffin has not been opened yet.
41:13Now Phoenix trying to muster the strength.
41:17Mil does not want Phoenix to get back in the ring.
41:20Mil understands that the ring benefits Phoenix,
41:22whereas the outside benefits Mil.
41:25Mil knows that.
41:26Man, death will find you anywhere, man.
41:29In your dreams, in the dressing room,
41:31in the ring, under the ring.
41:33He's biting his face right off,
41:35gnashing teeth and tearing flesh.
41:40How about Katrina, that tough little girl, standing.
41:44Mil Muertes is sick.
41:48Uh-oh.
41:49No way.
41:50No way.
41:53Phoenix using the ropes to prevent what Mil has in mind.
41:56What is she doing?
41:57And now it's Katrina that opens the coffin.
41:59There you see the inside.
42:01Well, who the hell is she trying to help?
42:03Something you never see during your living years, perhaps.
42:07Slap, slap, kick.
42:09What is she doing?
42:11Who is she?
42:12This builds the tension here.
42:14What is she doing?
42:17Katrina holding open.
42:20Big double stop.
42:22Mil is inside.
42:23Slam it shut.
42:25Slam it shut.
42:26Katrina will not.
42:27Oh, the stone.
42:29The lick of death on the stone from where Mil gets his power.
42:33And that's it.
42:34And your winner, Phoenix.
42:41After everything we've seen, the question now comes to us.
42:46Is this the last of Mil Muertes?
42:48I am shocked Phoenix actually survived.
42:50What a match.
42:51Mil Muertes is locked inside of that coffin.
42:56Katrina waiting by the coffin as the procession of death
43:02reenters the temple.
43:05Katrina has a look of satisfaction on her face.
43:12And now the faces of death take Mil Muertes
43:16to his eternal resting place.
43:19Katrina looks on, cold darkness in her eyes.
43:23The death of Mil Muertes may be the birth of Phoenix
43:27here in Lucha Underground.
43:29And that lady right there, Katrina,
43:32may hold the key to Phoenix's future.
