00:00What's this?
00:03Some guy outside asks if I give it to you.
00:05We may not recognize him, but Killshot does.
00:11I hope you put this all behind us.
00:14Brother.
00:18I'm concerned about you, man.
00:20Becoming too close with Vampiro.
00:22He's not your friend.
00:24He's not your master.
00:26And neither are you.
00:29I have devised a concept.
00:3132 of the best lussadores in the world
00:34will compete in a single elimination tournament
00:37that I call...
00:38The Cueto Cup!
00:40The match-ups, the potential for violence.
00:43So who will I be facing?
00:45Son of Havok versus...
00:47What do you say your name is again?
00:49Madness.
00:50Son of Madness.
00:59Subtype up.
01:00Don't worry, Maya.
01:02LMAO.
01:04They all be revived.
01:06The D ัะฐะบะธะผ theo ะตั.
01:08That's me.
01:09I'll quit working.
01:11I'll uses Fr0500M.
01:13We'll puterk Capitol down a slide.
01:15Of those doors on Havok never came down.
01:18Help! Help!
01:42Help!
01:43Help!

02:29ูุจู...
02:34Oh, my God.
03:04Oh, my God.
03:34It's hot.
03:43I'm uncomfortable, and that's a good thing.
03:45Why?
03:45Because I'm in the temple in Boyle Heights.
03:47Lucha Undervant, I'm losing my mind already.
03:50We haven't started yet.
03:50I am Vampiro.
03:52That is Matt Stryker, my brother, my partner in crime.
03:55Sergio Arrua, thank you for rocking the house.
03:57Matty, what's shaking?
03:58Well, before your head explodes, we have more first-round matches in the Cueto Cup.
04:03So let's not waste any time with us.
04:05Melissa, let's Lucha.
04:07The following Lucha is a first-round match in the Cueto Cup tournament and is scheduled for one fall.
04:13Introducing first, representing the worldwide underground, the darewolf, PJ Black.
04:20While he is athletically gifted, he knows it.
04:26He is cocky, brash, and arrogant, but take nothing away from this competitor's abilities inside the ring.
04:33PJ Black.
04:34Vamp, your thoughts?
04:35I think he's awesome, man.
04:36I told you, anybody who jumps out of an airplane in the middle of the night, the shark confested waters without a parachute and laughs at it, takes a bunch of funny vegetables and lays on the beach at night and looks at the stars and sees things.
04:49I'm a fan, dude.
04:50I actually want to hang out with him, but he won't answer my calls, so, you know, I'm trying.
04:53Let's meet PJ's opponent.
04:55And his opponent, from Monterrey, Nuevo Leรณn, Mexico, she is Sexy Star.
05:05Well, I reacted like that because Sexy Star has had a long rivalry with the worldwide underground.
05:12Now, Ben, this is the second time that Sexy and PJ have met.
05:16You remember that Sexy beat PJ, and that earned Sexy Star a Lucha Underground title rematch with Johnny Mundo.
05:23So, what does Sexy Star need to do here to continue on in this tournament?
05:28Sexy needs to control her anger.
05:30If her ego takes control and she tries to outsmart him right in the beginning, it ain't gonna happen.
05:35She's just gotta grit her teeth, bear it, put her head down, and swing for the fences.
05:38She'll come on a road.
05:40Sexy Star, a former Lucha Underground champion, albeit she only held that title for one week before losing it to Johnny Mundo.
05:48So, a main event spot in Ultima Lucha, which the winner of the Cueto Cup will earn.
05:53Would feel great for that young lady right there.
05:57Girl, I have been screaming so much.
06:00I am losing my voice and my mind, and that's a good thing.
06:03Not only in that order, but hey, I'm happy to be here.
06:06I could care less.
06:07This is my home, man, and I'm loving it.
06:10Thanks for letting me be by your side one more time, Matt Stryker.
06:13All right, joining me on the couch, Vampiro, and we are set for first round action.
06:18Obviously, PJ will have a height advantage, but I think Sexy Star has a speed advantage.
06:22Although, PJ is deceptively quick.
06:26Okay, but Sexy has that other thing.
06:30She's got the believers on her side, so that's gonna come into play in a big way.
06:33Of course, Sexy Star.
06:38But, hey, man, Sexy Star has been in some battles here, too, so she's kind of comfortable.
06:42This isn't her first picnic, as we like to say.
06:44Shades of gym breaks.
06:47You know what I'm saying, man?
06:48She's been slugged.
06:49She's slugged it out many, many times in the ring.
06:51It's no big deal for her.
06:52Of course not.
06:53I mean, look, you don't stop dreaming just because you had a nightmare, do you?
06:56No, Sexy Star's dream of becoming Lucha Underground champion is alive and well.
07:03Here comes Sexy.
07:04Boot to the mush now.
07:05Sexy Star on the move.
07:06PJ with a misdirection, forcing Sexy to change her direction.
07:09Ducks the clothesline now.
07:10Sexy with the tilt-a-whirl head scissor.
07:14Nicely done.
07:19Onto the apron.
07:20Sexy landed hard, but was able to get back up onto her feet.
07:23Locks PJ's strike.
07:24Sexy answers with one of her own.
07:26Sexy now, very comfortable on the top rope.
07:28Lucha Underground.
07:30Check that out, man.
07:31A flick of the wrist and PJ went flying.
07:35Here we are now, Sexy Star.
07:38Uh-oh.
07:39Turns it into a choke, but that's the strength of PJ that we talked about.
07:42That core strength allowed PJ Black to turn Sexy Star from the choke into the suplex.
07:49And now Black on the attack.
07:50Well, PJ's really coming into his own here.
07:55I know, he's world famous.
07:56Yeah, okay.
07:57But he's certainly adopted and adopted the style of Lucha Underground, no?
08:01Absolutely.
08:01And Sexy Star now adopting a style all-her-owned.
08:08Hard strikes after an unfortunate landing.
08:12And now Sexy Star.
08:14And Vamp, you alluded to it.
08:15Sexy definitely thrives off of the Believers.
08:18Oh, and Steiner puts PJ Black flat on his back.
08:23Cover two.
08:24No.
08:28Now Sexy Star.
08:31As the fans come alive, Sexy clutches at her left shoulder once again, but still continues the offense.
08:38Brings PJ back up to his feet, but PJ's still too strong to be whipped across the ring.
08:42PJ sends Sexy in now.
08:45Sexy out of the way.
08:47Man, I don't know if he's too strong.
08:49I think it's just too ring-savvy.
08:51Okay.
08:52Well, now he's floor-savvy.
08:54Talking about PJ Black.
08:57And Sexy Star.
08:58We talked about what she needs to do.
09:00You mentioned put her ego aside.
09:02Right now, Sexy Star fighting with everything she has.
09:06Wow.
09:06And the Believers enjoying it.
09:08Welcome to the temple.
09:18As PJ tries to distance himself, Sexy Star will look to make up the distance through the air.
09:24Cross body.
09:24Shoulders are down.
09:25Leg is hooked.
09:26Not enough.
09:29Vamp, you're watching intently.
09:31What are you looking for?
09:31Yeah, dude.
09:32I'm sorry, man.
09:32This is...
09:33Oh, maybe that's what you were watching intently.
09:35Wow.
09:36That is Taya.
09:39She has already advanced in the Cueto Cup.
09:43Publicly aligned with the World Wide Underground.
09:45And now...
09:47Man.
09:48Everything changes.
09:49Dude, I was just getting captivated.
09:51Every now and then, I drift off and I become a fan all over again.
09:54I wasn't even expecting this.
09:56With Aloka, Taya, she just came in.
09:57What is she doing?
09:58What she did was she just outsmarted our official Justin Borden.
10:02Borden's doing his job keeping Taya out of the ring.
10:04But she handed through Brass Knuckles and PJ.
10:08But Sexy Star was able to evade them.
10:10The Brass Knuckles have fallen off.
10:12And now Sexy sees the weapon that Taya introduced.
10:17And why not?
10:18Wow, that's some set of knuckle dusters right there.
10:21William Riegel would be proud.
10:23Oh, wait.
10:24Ring the bell, ring the bell, ring the bell, dude.
10:26Here's your winner, as a result of a disqualification, the Darewolf, PJ Blatt.
10:33Now, I know that normally DQs and countouts are forbidden or frowned upon here in a temple.
10:39But Dario Cueto has ordered our officials in this Cueto Cup to really enforce the rules.
10:44That disqualification right there, while it is the correct decision, it came off of Taya's interference.
10:52And now Sexy Star.
10:56Talk about the correct decision, not the ref out.
10:59I'm good with that.
11:00Hell yeah.
11:01Well, Taya just screwed Sexy Star out of the Cueto Cup.
11:05And as a result, her fellow Worldwide Underground member, the Darewolf, PJ Blatt, has advanced into the second round.
11:13The Cueto Cup continues to roll on tonight.
11:16Son of Havoc and Prince Puma will both be in action in separate matches,
11:20as well as the return to the temple of El Dragon Azteca Jr.
11:24Folks, we'll be right back.
11:35As big fights approach, the training becomes ever so important.
11:45The last-minute preparations are crucial, and a luchador's mindset needs to be in proper order,
11:51as the fights that captivate the audience oftentimes become the matches that define one's career.
12:00Johnny Mundo needs to be lucha underground champion,
12:02because he's let too many labels define him his entire career.
12:07I want to be champion.
12:08I want to represent the greatest collection of talent there is in the world,
12:12and bring a little honor back to a belt that my friend, Prince Puma, gave to it as its first champion.
12:20Johnny is out for surviving, and that's not how you stay a champion.
12:28This is why I can win.
12:30Because of all the love and support the people from Boyle Heights have given me,
12:35and all the people around the world,
12:37they fill me up with energy and support.
12:43I know now that I'm never alone in that ring.
12:46Well, yeah, Ray's resume is ridiculous,
12:53but you don't win matches based on what you've already done.
12:57You win matches based on who you are right here, right now,
12:59and right now, I've got the title.
13:02So I'm the best.
13:04Easy as that.
13:05Suck it, Ray.
13:06Get that tricep.
13:07The workout never stops.
13:14Stay still.
13:16It never gets easier.
13:19You're not born with rock-hard abs.
13:22You're not born with the ability to jump off the top rope.
13:26You have to earn everything with hard work.
13:30And sweat.
13:31There's a right way and a wrong way to conduct yourself.
13:42Lucha Libre is a people's sport.
13:45It's for the people, and that's who I identify with.
13:49I'm not the biggest dog in any fight I'm in,
13:51and neither are the fans that support me
13:53who deal with their problems and their lives every day.
13:57They're not the biggest dog in the daily fight to survive.
14:00So if I can do it for them,
14:02if I can give a little hope to not give up,
14:06that's what makes it worth it.
14:09And that's why I fight.
14:13Talk is cheap.
14:14Chicks dig scars and abs.
14:16I'm not afraid of anyone or anything coming my way.
14:18I'm the champion.
14:20Nobody can take it away from me.
14:21And, Ray, I'll say this one last time.
14:24This is Lucha Underground.
14:25You're in my world.
14:27And just like everybody before you,
14:29you're going to leave the ring
14:30with a first-class ticket to Slamtown.
14:33Tensions are high in Boyle Heights.
14:36The finishing touches from each competitor's camp
14:38have yet to be implemented.
14:40But both seem to be in the shape of their lives,
14:44for what might amount to the fight of their lives.
14:47Join us at Lucha Underground
14:48for Rey Mysterio Jr.
14:51versus Johnny Mundo.
14:52The Fallen Lucha's a first-round match
15:03in the Cueto Cup Tournament
15:04and is scheduled for one fall.
15:07Introducing first,
15:08from the open road,
15:10Son of Havoc!
15:12All right, that's the first round
15:15of the Cueto Cup continues.
15:17Son of Havoc,
15:19the beloved fan's favorite,
15:21makes his way to the ring.
15:22Now, we haven't been informed
15:23who his opponent is tonight.
15:25Even Melissa looks confused,
15:27but when we come back,
15:28we will get to the bottom of this.
15:30Lucha Underground is coming right back.
15:31Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
15:46This is a first-round match-up
15:47in the Cueto Cup.
15:49And there you see Son of Havoc,
15:51the man who has been hell-bent
15:52on becoming Lucha Underground champion
15:54and is facing an unknown opponent tonight.
15:57And his opponent,
15:58from the open road,
16:02Son of Madness.
16:06What?
16:09Isn't Havoc from the open road?
16:11I mean, I'm sure more than one person
16:12could be from the open road, but...
16:15It's almost as if he's a Son of Havoc doppelganger.
16:20Son of Madness.
16:22A brand-new luchador.
16:25Dude.
16:27Wow, could you imagine?
16:28On his first night,
16:30if Son of Madness could conceivably
16:32be in the main event at Ultima Lucha?
16:34Here we go!
16:35Let me tell you something right now, man.
16:36What are you noticing?
16:37I'm noticing a lot, bro.
16:39You know, usually motorcycle gangs...
16:41You heard what he said, a club, you know?
16:43Oh, shit!
16:44Oh, man.
16:46They usually send somebody looking for you.
16:48Usually they're a sergeant of arms
16:50that would be called.
16:51That's kind of like the muscle.
16:52You broke the rules,
16:54somebody comes collecting.
16:56Internal policing, so to speak.
16:58Judging by the look in Son of Havoc's eyes,
17:01Son of Havoc definitely recognizes this guy.
17:03I'm really bad for you.
17:04You're not familiar.
17:06Up close and personal with the Son of Madness.
17:08Dude, of course it's personal, man.
17:10They're from the same club.
17:12You know what it takes
17:13to get that kind of patching done?
17:15Yeah, educate me on this whole biker culture.
17:17You've been to Sturgis.
17:18Son of Madness has the same symbol
17:21on the back of his vest
17:22that Son of Havoc has.
17:23Part of the same motorcycle club, MC.
17:26That's what I told you, man.
17:27No doubt about it.
17:28The sergeant of arms.
17:29That's their job in the club.
17:31The muscle, the internal police.
17:33If Son of Havoc is skipped out, so to speak,
17:36they will send somebody internally
17:38to find you,
17:39only to beat you down,
17:40make you pay.
17:41They will peel that patch off your back
17:44with a blow charge if they have to.
17:46And I think Son of Havoc
17:47has some prices to pay here.
17:49Son of Madness will need to go
17:50one step beyond
17:51if he wants to defeat Son of Havoc here.
17:54And now, Madness with a forearm.
17:57Well, it's going to be a two-tone,
17:59two-stepping affair,
18:00I would think, Matthew.
18:01I think you and I are on an island
18:03on this one, buddy.
18:04Back to the action here.
18:05Wait a second.
18:06Son of Havoc.
18:07Oh, it looks like Son of Madness.
18:09You've never noticed that
18:09a ghost town here in the temple.
18:10Oh!
18:13Oh!
18:13Oh!
18:18These two know each other inside out,
18:21I can tell you right now, man.
18:24There it is.
18:25Right there to your point.
18:28This Son of Madness now
18:29will have to tell us
18:31or show us
18:32what he's made of
18:33as he takes off his colors now,
18:35perhaps symbolically throwing it
18:36at Son of Havoc.
18:38Yeah, that's a little much, man.
18:40I can tell you.
18:40That's why you know it's personal
18:42because anybody from...
18:43Oh!
18:45Who's worth his salt
18:46or spit, so they say,
18:48in a club,
18:48will die
18:49before he lets his colors
18:50hit the ground.
18:52He's collecting a debt.
18:53Maybe he's got something to prove.
18:55Maybe he's trying to climb
18:56in the upper echelons.
19:02Now, Son of Madness
19:03is collecting a debt
19:04for himself
19:04or for someone else?
19:06Has someone else
19:07sent Son of Madness here?
19:08Yeah.
19:09All of that aside, let's not lose sight of what this is about.
19:30The Cueto Cup, an opportunity to go on to Ultima Lucha 3, an opportunity to become Lucha Underground
19:37champion. And that is what every single fighter in our locker room competes for. Son of Havoc
19:43now gets caught on the signature handspring back elbow. Son of Madness now. Havoc onto his
19:49feet now creates space. Madness in, Havoc evades. Havoc in, Madness evades. A lot of ducking
19:59clotheslines. Yeah. Waist lock, back elbow. And notice how Son of Madness, that's by design,
20:05he was cornered, and Havoc knew it. Madness had nowhere to go, and now Son of Havoc will
20:11inflict his damage.
20:21And also, if you know your Lucha Underground history, you'll remember that Son of Havoc had
20:25a championship match at Ultima Lucha 3, and then had it ripped away from him. So there
20:29is some more motivation here for Son of Havoc. Oh! Son of Madness showing that he may fit
20:36in very well here in the temple. Look at that. Driving his shin into the throat of Son of Havoc.
20:43Wow. Dude, he was just like a rocket. While they may look alike, the skin tone is different,
20:53the height and body composition is different as well. Oh, he's a big boy, man, Son of Madness.
20:59Come on, man. I don't think I'd want to, you know, have an unfriendly conversation with
21:04him at any time soon. Picking Son of Havoc up by the beard. Sends Havoc in. Madness follows.
21:12Literally, and figuratively, here in the temple. I was going to put you over there,
21:18but you know, I just died. What if I make a Jake the Milkman Milliman reference?
21:23No. No? Okay. The fans are coming alive. It doesn't matter who you are. This is what's
21:29in the favor of a homegrown boy. And I said, man, Son of Havoc is born and bred in the temple.
21:34It just is what it is. Yeah, but you often mention how when athletes get caught up in the crowd,
21:39it takes them out of their game plan. This Son of Madness here really doesn't care about
21:44the believers, whereas Son of Havoc is woven into the fabric of the underground.
21:48And you live on the fringes of a lot, and you're a bad boy, and that's what you do for a living
21:52is collect debts. You're not really worried about applause, you know what I'm saying?
21:56Here we go now. Son of Havoc showing fight. Short whip now. Sends Son of Madness in. Back elbow.
22:03Madness back up onto his feet. Havoc closes the distance with a clothesline. Son of Havoc now starting
22:07to build steam. Starting to rev his engines here. Now he nails the handspring. Back elbow.
22:12Shades of the Great. Wow. Springboard crossbody. Leg is hooked. Referee down. No. Rick Notch just a two.
22:20A lot of steam there behind Son of Havoc. This is where, now, to answer your question more clearly,
22:26this is where this can be beneficial. Son of Havoc is putting fuel in the tank. Octane boost.
22:31If he was to get caught up and ask for applause, that would probably distract him, causing him to lose.
22:36Hang on. Throttling the gears here now. Son of Havoc able to create some more space here.
22:41Son of Madness ducks. Catches Son of Havoc on the way in. We talked about the height advantage,
22:46and Son of Madness used it right there. Now, Son of Havoc. Oh, I don't like the spine and the neck.
22:52Both exposed here. Ow! Ouch. Notice Madness doesn't go for a cover, though.
22:57No, he just went. He's here to collect the debt. Now the cover. One, two, three.
23:02No! Not enough, brother. Not enough, man. Yeah, I'm not so sure that when Son of Madness was sent to
23:10collect this debt, he knew exactly what he was getting into. But you're in it now, Madness,
23:16so let's see what you've got. Son of Havoc. Oh! Able to change the momentum. Cover. Two.
23:24No! And Son of Havoc got cocky there, and you saw it. So close, man. Did you hear the fans?
23:30They were saying three. It was awesome. Dude, the Temple, man. If you ever get a chance,
23:36fans watching this at home, come down. Boyle Heights, I'm telling you, there's nothing like it.
23:41Check it out live. Lucha Underground, only here in the Temple. And Son of Havoc now,
23:47and how fitting it is that the colors sit right there in the bottom of the turnbuckle.
23:51Son of Madness was able to quell Son of Havoc's offensive desires. Son of Madness now looking
23:58for a superplex right above us here. Them liver slaps are not fun. We're going to headbutt.
24:05Sends Madness down to the middle of the ring. Madness back up. Captures Havoc.
24:11Hey, man. Did you know that Madness, if you notice, it's not really easy to get knocked off his feet.
24:17He's getting rocked, but he's got a hell of a sense of balance.
24:21All right, now those choppers will do that for you. Son of Havoc now with the hangman's noose on the top rope.
24:28Son of Havoc needs to find something here. Son of Havoc needs to remember what it was like when he first
24:36put on his colors, when he first started to grow out his beard. Find yourself, Son of Havoc.
24:42Wow. Mother, Son of Havoc has to kick this guy's ass. What are you talking about? He's got to give
24:47him a beating and knock him out. You always say it so much better than I do. You think?
24:52As the believers begin to stir, Son of Havoc, about to go hog wild here. High above. Shooting star
25:05pressing, landing on his feet. Madness moved out of the way. Schoolboy, roll up. Handful of tights,
25:10that's not enough. A schoolboy there. Here's your winner, Son of Havoc. Son of Havoc did what he
25:24had to do, and he is victorious. But this fight isn't over.
25:31Now, Vamp, you can speak to this better than I can. The message has been sent that we are
25:45looking for you. I'm coming for you. There's no way. Oh. Rich, rich vestment. Vamp, significance in the biker
25:56culture. Taking a guy's vest, anything? You are no longer part of that family.
26:01You are out. And that means, sooner or later, they are coming to extinguish you. There is no doubt
26:08about it. Once they take your colors back, you're done, homie. Son of Havoc may have stolen a victory,
26:14but Son of Madness has stolen Havoc's colors. Havoc moves on in the Cueto Cup, but now,
26:19El Dragon Azteca returns to the temple, and El Dragon Azteca goes one-on-one with the accurate and deadly
26:26Dante Fox. But coming up next, the first ever Lucha Underground champion, Prince Puma is in
26:32action. Next.
26:41The Fall of Lucha is a first-round match in the Cueto Cup tournament and is scheduled for one fall.
26:53Introducing first, from Royal Heights, Los Angeles, California, Prince Puma!
27:04As the believers erupt for the hometown hero, Vamp, Puma's coming off an impressive victory against
27:10Mil Muerte. Question to you is, the physical beating that Puma endured in that match, will that affect
27:16his performance tonight? Not at all. You get scar tissue and your knuckles toughen up. Your soul,
27:22your mental state is also tougher. Once you've taken a beating and you know that it doesn't hurt and
27:27it's not the end of the world, you will come back being able to hit harder and get hit harder and
27:32continue to fight. It's going to do nothing but elevate Puma in the ring tonight. Let's beat his
27:38opponent. And his opponents, from Venice Beach, California, currently interning with the Worldwide
27:45Underground, Ricky Mandel!
27:52Vamp, I see you shaking your head back and forth. Melissa said that Ricky Mandel is currently interning
27:58with the Worldwide Underground. I've done my journalistic research, go ahead and chuckle at that,
28:03but a win here, and Mandel says he will graduate to assistant. Have you ever interned anywhere?
28:10Brother, what the hell are you talking about? No, man. It would be like Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway if you
28:15had interned anywhere. Uh, yeah. Okay, sure. But I mean, what a kind of dude would want to intern for a
28:23Johnny Mundo? This is a guy that wants to be Johnny Mundo. Look, there's a little running joke amongst the
28:28uh, the athletes in the locker room. Oh, is there? Well, hang on a second. Mandel's going to talk. Hey, Puma!
28:39I hope you're ready for an early exit in the Cueto Cup.
28:45Because Ricky Mandel is about to take you to slam town.
28:52Dude. Ah, there you go. Yeah, that's exactly what I was hoping to happen. I mean, we all know
29:01wannabes. We all know people that like to put their fingerprints on everything. Hey, look what I
29:05did. Oh, look at me. Mandel seems to be like one of these guys. I'm liking Prince Puma kicking the
29:11living cheeses out of him. Look at that. Hasn't even taken off his hoodie yet, Prince Puma. Cover.
29:17No, look at that. And while the, uh, sunglasses and bandanas stay on. Yeah, dude, they're kind of like
29:24stapled to his melon. He's getting an ass kicking from Puma. And I like that about Puma. I mean,
29:28come on, give him another beating. But you know what? If Mandel is such a Johnny Mundo fan, then you have
29:33to know that Mandel has studied all the matches that Mundo and Puma have had. And right here,
29:38it looks like Mandel's having some offense. Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt.
29:41Oh, are you even seriously trying to tell me that Ricky Mantel or whatever his name is,
29:48is in the same league as Johnny Mundo? Are you crazy? Come on, come on, come on, come on.
29:52It's my job to establish credibility. And you know something? Glasses are still on.
29:58Okay. So what else has that for credibility?
29:59Yeah, that's pretty cool. Probably glued to his ears. Puma is awesome dressed in black, dude.
30:05What does Puma have here? Violence. Oh, yeah.
30:09Two, three. What? Wow.
30:12Here's your winner, Prince Puma.
30:16You know, the shock in my voice came from the fact that Puma normally finishes off his opponents
30:20with a 630 from the top rope. But here, a different finishing maneuver,
30:24a different Prince Puma advances into the Cueto Cup.
30:29Fifteen luchadors have moved on in the quest for the Cueto Cup, and only one remains.
30:34El Dragon Azteca Jr. returns to the temple to take on the precise and lethal Dante Fox.
30:41Azteca and Fox will do battle next.
31:04What's going on, Ray? What are you doing here?
31:07You shouldn't be training.
31:09What did you think? I wasn't going to miss your big comeback.
31:12You fought way too hard to make it to this point.
31:14You fought very hard.
31:16I came to see you win tonight.
31:19And I'm going to see you win tonight.
31:21And after winning this tournament, I want to face you for that Lucha Underground
31:27in Ultima Lucha 3.
31:30Hey, Ray.
31:37You better beat that cabron Johnny Mundo.
31:41Because after I win this tournament, I won my Ultima Lucha rematch.
31:45And this time, I promise, I won't lose.
32:04One match at a time.
32:07What's up, everybody? Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
32:10As the first round of the Cueto Cup comes to an end, we can now tell you that next week,
32:15the second round begins.
32:17And the leader of the rabbit tribe, Paul London, will take a trip to the dark side.
32:24He's going to be facing Mil Muertes, the man of a thousand deaths.
32:28We are also going to see the Lucha Death Machine, Jeremiah Crane, take on La Huera Loca, Taya.
32:35And if that is not enough, Phoenix, the bird of war, goes one-on-one with the demented and despicable
32:43Marty Lamont Martinez. That all happens next week.
32:47But right now, let's get to our final match of round one.
32:52The Fallen Luchas, a first-round match in the Cueto Cup Tournament and is scheduled for one fall.
32:58Introducing first, in the ring, from Ansonia, Connecticut, Dante Fox.
33:06Every year, I put my money on a guy.
33:08I'm going to lay my money on this man right here, Dante Fox.
33:12There's just something so tactical and precise about this fighter, and it intrigues me.
33:18Well, he's been through some heavy things mentally, psychologically, and spiritually.
33:22He's not an all-right guy, Matt.
33:24He can flip the switch and turn violent at the drop of a dime.
33:28And his opponent, making his return to the temple, accompanied by his mentor, Ray Mysterio Jr.,
33:35from Tijuana, Mexico, El Dragon Azteca Jr.
33:40Yeah!
33:43In a match of this magnitude, how much does it help El Dragon Azteca to have his mentor,
33:48the King of Lucha Libre, Ray Mysterio, by his side?
33:52Yes, I respect Ray Mysterio, but come on, man. He's going two against one here.
33:57If he could... Wait a second, wait a second.
34:00If Dante came out with somebody who was just a little darker, it would be all poor Dragon Azteca.
34:05I mean, hey, I hope the kid earns this price tonight. He plays fair. That's all I gotta say.
34:10To the first time, viewer here, Ray Mysterio is not in this match.
34:13He's just out here to lend support to his protege, El Dragon Azteca.
34:18Ray Ray can lend support from the back. That's why these guys share a dressing room.
34:22But then again, you know what? Maybe I'll just be quiet and let the match unfold.
34:25Let's hopefully I'm wrong, but Ray will just stay put.
34:29And you know what? Dario Cueto has announced that it'll be Ray Mysterio versus Johnny Mundo
34:34at the Cueto Cup finals. Now, if El Dragon Azteca wins the Cueto Cup,
34:39El Dragon Azteca becomes the number one contender for the Lucha Underground title.
34:42What if Ray Mysterio is champion at that time?
34:45You will see how quick that mentorship gets thrown out the window.
34:49At the end of the day, all said and done, this is business, and it's about fighting and winning,
34:52and that's that.
34:53Here we go. Of course, last week, Dante prevented Killshot from advancing in this tournament.
34:59Now Dante Fox looks to create his legacy, but El Dragon Azteca has something to say.
35:04Hey man, this kid Dragon Azteca is really sharp, but look at his lower back, man.
35:08I think he's still suffering some injuries there.
35:10Physical therapy tape on the lower lumbar region of El Dragon Azteca.
35:14This, our main event, the final first round matchup in the Cueto Cup.
35:22Both of these guys match up well athletically.
35:26I do believe that El Dragon Azteca may have a little more, pardon the expression, Lucha Libre-ness.
35:33Dante Fox has life experience, man, and you can't mimic that.
35:38No, you can. You cannot.
35:41This is what the fans live for.
35:44This is what you love about Lucha Underground, man.
35:46It is what it is. Human video game.
35:49Bing, bang, boom. Only here, bro.
35:51Dante in. Dragon looked like he was going for a dive. Dante cut him off.
35:55Now, Dragon onto the floor, and Dante.
35:57Oh, yes.
35:58Like a heat-seeking missile, and it was very impressive.
36:02There was no way he could move it.
36:04Here we go.
36:05And now, will the fox fly?
36:07Oh!
36:07Yeah.
36:09Nice over-the-top rope sent out onto the floor.
36:13Very awesome.
36:15Now, look, man.
36:17Ray Ray, get the hell to another corner. Get out of there.
36:19Ray Mysterio is allowed to be here at ringside,
36:23is allowed to give advice and help.
36:26Not physically.
36:27Oh!
36:27I'm feeling Dante, man.
36:29You see, you know what I like about him more than anything,
36:31is the way he's breathing.
36:32He's in control.
36:33He is calm.
36:34He's been in battle before.
36:35Fox and Azteca have to be aware of the referee's count.
36:39Back into the ring.
36:41That breaks the count, as Fox looks to administer a little more punishment here.
36:45How about the fans in the temple chanting his name?
36:49Fox.
36:50What does he have in mind here?
36:52Oh!
36:53Oh, my God!
36:58Cover here!
36:59Leg is hooked!
37:00Middle of the ring!
37:01No!
37:02Wow!
37:02Marty Elias, uh, I don't know about that count.
37:05Dante agrees.
37:06One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi.
37:08That was such a dangerous leg drop.
37:11Good God!
37:14And now, to your point, Dante is focusing his attack on the lower back.
37:18Very smart.
37:19Well-trained soldier.
37:20He knows where to go.
37:22Shoot in the dark.
37:23Listen for the blood-curling screams of your enemies and pick them out, man.
37:27It begs the question, has El Dragon Azteca come back too soon since being thrown through our bleachers?
37:35But again, the opportunity of being Lucha Underground champion sometimes will allow ego and pride to collide with judgment.
37:43But right now, Dante Fox seems firmly in control.
37:46He's the watchful eye of Rey Mysterio.
37:49Bro, Fox.
37:51Two.
37:52No!
37:53But damn, this kid is impressive.
37:54And now, the Dragon Azteca holds on.
38:04Bates Fox in.
38:05Fox onto the apron now.
38:06El Dragon.
38:08Punch.
38:08Block.
38:09Duck.
38:09Kick.
38:11Fox to the floor.
38:12You know who he reminds me of?
38:14He reminds me of a Marvin Hagler.
38:16Just a fighter.
38:17Just a hardcore guy who goes into jail to train to fight.
38:21You know what I mean?
38:22I just get that vibe from him when I dig this kid.
38:25Well, Fox is from Connecticut.
38:27Hagler from Massachusetts.
38:28And if Fox moves to Italy and legally changes his name, then we're there.
38:33El Dragon Azteca now.
38:34Looks like he's hooking up with Tornado DDT, but he's facing the wrong way.
38:37Ooh, that wasn't going to be good.
38:39Oh, wow.
38:40Wow, he is just agile and quick for a big guy, man.
38:44He's doing all the white things.
38:47Wow.
38:49Athleticism from Fox.
38:52And the athleticism of El Dragon Azteca puts Fox right onto his head.
39:00But those are the perils that you must endure when you go to war.
39:05Although this war is for the Lucha Underground Championship opportunity.
39:09I thought that guy broke his neck right off his body.
39:11Oh, my God.
39:12That guy is back up and still into the fight until right there.
39:15Down he goes.
39:16Dante Fox landed on his head.
39:18That was probably one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen.
39:21Well, the respect to the believers rain down on both athletes here.
39:25Everyone here understands what the Lucha Underground title means.
39:31Brother, he's my style, man.
39:33I'm that much of a fan.
39:35Dante Fox, Dante Fox, Dante Fox.
39:37Cover.
39:38Two.
39:38No.
39:39Wow.
39:40The endorsement of Vampiro weighs on Dante Fox's shoulders.
39:44Hey, man.
39:45Dante Fox does not need no Vampiro or anybody else.
39:48This kid is holding his own.
39:49What a rock star today.
39:50Oh, my God.
39:51He's doing things like, wow.
39:52Versus the whip.
39:53He uses his height advantage, but El Dragon kicked up, kicked down.
39:56The Dragon Azteca.
40:04Nope.
40:05He hit him so hard with that leg drop right there.
40:07He bounced his body off the mat.
40:09for a little guy he's got internal strength and of course they're the mentor allowing his protege
40:17to have the fight and that's what i like about ray because experience is the greatest teacher
40:24and ray knows that el dragon azteca needs to have a wealth of experience if he's going to become
40:29lucha underground champion no doubt about it he's got to be around quality guys quality fights
40:34i'm sorry to say it but he's got to take a beating he needs to bleed first before he gets
