00:01What does this young man have?
00:03Oh, flat liner!
00:05Phoenix may be laid to rest.
00:12Come with me.
00:21The Challengers, Aerostar, Drago, and Phoenix, Aerostar on the moon.
00:27What?
00:27Dude, he went into the coffin and he came on a darker man.
00:31The Bird of War, the ultimate fan's favorite, returns to the temple as a new man, a changed man,
00:38and one who has seemingly turned his back on his friends and even Melissa Santos.
00:44Reverse.
00:45Oh, nice thing done!
00:46Victory roll at the top rope!
00:48We have a Gift of the Gods champion!
00:50Press hold.
00:51He got her!
00:52The Dragon Azteca Jr. retains his Gift of the Gods championship as the ultimate Lucha Quatro dream stays alive.
01:01The breaker of bones, Pentagon Dark, breaking the arm of Marty the Moth Martinez.
01:07This week, he will be Marty the Moth, versus the Dragon Azteca Jr. for the Gift of the Gods championship.
01:18There's something else I want.
01:27The Dragon Azteca Jr.
01:29The Dragon Azteca Jr.
01:37Wait, wait, wait, wait, we're going to build.
02:07Contact your local cable provider and put down $49.95 to be a part of a great show.
02:13But this is Lucha Underground, and we're going to give you this great show for free.
02:19And what a show it is going to be tonight.
02:22The Gift of the Gods title on the line.
02:24The champion, El Dragon Azteca Jr.
02:27Defends against a luchador that we have not seen since he had his arm broken at Aztec Warfare.
02:33I'm talking about the return of Marty the Moth Martinez.
02:38Will El Dragon Azteca Jr. be able to defend his Gift of the Gods title?
02:42Or will the portrait of Marty the Moth Martinez's return be painted in gold?
02:48Oh, wow, man.
02:49Dude, that is just the appetizer.
02:52Because in tonight's main event, now check this out.
02:55Both Inquerno in Mil Muertes will be challenging our champion, Pentagon Dark,
03:00for the Lucha Underground Championship in a three-way dance of destruction.
03:05And my friend, Matthew, that is your cue to get this thing kicking and popping and, you know.
03:10With that said, Melissa, let's Lucha!
03:14The Falling Luchas set before one fall.
03:17Introducing first, from Mexico City, Mexico, Phoenix.
03:21We saw the return of Phoenix.
03:23What we thought was a dream come true for the Believers turned into a nightmare for Phoenix's partners,
03:30Aerostar and Drago.
03:32Phoenix attacked his trio's partners and then, in a horrifying move,
03:37turned on his girlfriend, our ring announcer, Melissa Santos.
03:40If not for El Dragon Azteca Jr., who we'll see later on tonight, coming to Melissa's aid,
03:44who knows how far Phoenix may have gone.
03:47Vampiro, how far gone is Phoenix?
03:51I don't even know how to answer you.
03:54His demeanor has changed.
03:56The energy is certainly very different.
03:59The color black, as you well know, what that would mean.
04:02Just the way he's looking, the gaze and the color of his skin and his eyes, everything.
04:07And just the way that he's not even acknowledging the fans like he used to be,
04:11that right there says something's different.
04:12Well, hang on, this is the first time that Phoenix and Melissa have been in the same room since last
04:17week.
04:25Guys tell a great story.
04:29Yeah, Phoenix is just turning away.
04:32And his opponent, from the cosmos, Aerostar.
04:39And in our great sport, once in a great while, an athlete comes along that captures our imagination.
04:46And that, for me, that's Aerostar.
04:48He has been able to capture the imagination and the hearts of believers around the world.
04:58Last week, Phoenix turned his back on his former trio's partners, Drago and Aerostar.
05:03Tonight, the man from the cosmos tries to even the score.
05:07It's Phoenix, one-on-one with Aerostar.
05:10And it's next.
05:22Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
05:24This is our opening contest on a huge night.
05:28Phoenix on the left in black.
05:30Aerostar on the right.
05:31These two former trio's partners, now rivals, all because of Phoenix's change in attitude.
05:39Now, Vampiro, both of these Luchadores, known for their high-flying, known for their in-ring ability, where does the
05:44advantage lie?
05:45I don't even know.
05:46I probably would have to go with Phoenix because I think that Aerostar is confused.
05:50Maybe he's looking for retribution.
05:52But Phoenix is playing the game.
05:54And I think Aerostar wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt in this one.
05:57On a second, quick roll-up and a two-count.
05:59I mean, all is fair at Love and War, right?
06:02Yeah!
06:03Yeah!
06:04Yeah!
06:04Yeah!
06:04Yeah!
06:07Yeah!
06:09Yeah!
06:11It's hard to say because Phoenix, you saw at the beginning right there before the lock-up and all that,
06:16he was snapping his monster.
06:18He was kind of copying everything Aerostar was doing.
06:21So I think maybe he might be quicker, but Phoenix?
06:24Stop!
06:25Phoenix is possessed.
06:27It's a different type of energy.
06:30The hanging head of Phoenix.
06:32Normally, he would go for a cover there.
06:34It's almost like Phoenix drifts in and out of reality.
06:37It's almost like he doesn't really understand yet where he's at or why he's here.
06:43But it's almost instinctual.
06:45There's the cover.
06:45Unique.
06:48Referee stopped counting, but the shoulders are down there.
06:52Oh, that's right.
06:56Wow.
06:59Well, we want to talk about a band of pirates not showing any mercy.
07:03The fans here in the Leech Underground Temple are definitely into the violence, regardless
07:07of who you are.
07:08Would you agree?
07:09Absolutely.
07:11Phoenix pulls Aerostar up by the mask.
07:14Aerostar blocks it.
07:15Sunset flip.
07:16Shoulders are down.
07:17Just a two count.
07:18Aerostar creates some space now.
07:20Going to use his speed off the looks.
07:22Momentum tilt the world, headscissors, spin back around.
07:25Phoenix tries to shift his weight.
07:27Wow.
07:27But it's not enough.
07:30And now Aerostar from the Cosmos.
07:37Have you noticed the way he dies and he just puts his arms back?
07:41Like most people, when they throw a toffee or something like that, they stick up there.
07:44Just in case to break the fall, he's got no care.
07:47No, no, no, no regard for his own body.
07:50We have speculated exactly where Aerostar comes from.
07:55Some people on social media even take to the supernatural, subscribing to, what is it,
07:59the David Ick conspiracy of shape-shifting aliens taking human form to gain power.
08:04Yeah, nowhere in California.
08:05You've got to stop that.
08:06Yeah, there's underground bases.
08:13Not only did he smack his lungs out of his ears, hitting a high intact move on the gate there,
08:20he fell and banged his head right on the stairs.
08:22Great point.
08:23Aerostar writhing in pain now is Phoenix.
08:27He's over here by our desk.
08:28He's choosing to approach Aerostar from the back.
08:33And that tells you a lot.
08:35Phoenix used to be a guy that would face-to-face with you.
08:38Watch out.
08:38Goes past Melissa.
08:43Wow.
08:44His looks could kill.
08:46Let me ask, is there a distraction?
08:48I was going to say is Phoenix distracted, but you just answered my question.
08:52Yeah, I don't think so.
08:57I'm sorry, but I actually like this.
09:00Don't apologize for who you are.
09:02We know you by now.
09:03I love the violence.
09:05Phoenix in.
09:06Moon Salt rolls through, keeps his momentum.
09:08Using the ropes.
09:09Take nothing away from Phoenix.
09:11He's out of the back.
09:12The beauty of his lucha.
09:14That is that.
09:15Coming across the top portion of the body.
09:18Balls going over the bridge.
09:19Coming over and keep his shoulders up.
09:21Now, when most guys make that type of cover and they don't hit the leg and it kicks out,
09:25you don't see Phoenix showing anything from his frustration.
09:28It's almost like he's not even concerned about the win.
09:30He just wants to hurt first.
09:33Are you seeing that?
09:34Yeah, I'm seeing that.
09:35I'm also seeing Phoenix's face.
09:37Even though he has a mask on, it really tells a lot.
09:45Oh, my God.
09:47Look at that reaction.
09:48I have just got a new favorite wrestler.
09:51He just field goal his mind.
09:53Seriously.
09:54Just kicked Nibiru right out of Aerostar.
09:57Wow.
09:58Brother.
09:58Brother.
09:59Brother.
09:59You got a drink?
10:01I need one.
10:01Because that was just, like, devastating.
10:03Now Phoenix control his opponent's right arm.
10:06What does the Bird of War have in mind here?
10:09On Aerostar.
10:10Flipping pile driver.
10:12Phoenix is rocked.
10:14Aerostar creating space now.
10:16Wow.
10:16Aerostar on the apron.
10:17Using the ring almost as a tag team partner for himself.
10:21Another DDT.
10:23Right down on the head.
10:24One, two.
10:25No.
10:26Aerostar has to be hurt because he didn't hook a leg there.
10:28Both of them look dazed.
10:30This is not like Aerostar.
10:31He doesn't really usually appeal to the crowd to give him a little bit of extra juice,
10:36but I think he needs it here.
10:37Aerostar, of course, is a luchador that drives on energy.
10:40And right now, the energy of the Believers is pulsing through Aerostar.
10:44Some kicks to the face.
10:46Some kicks into Phoenix.
10:47He's enjoying it.
10:47Let's go, Phoenix!
10:53Yes.
10:54It's gone to a knee.
10:55But just as I say that, the Bird of War back up.
10:58Wow.
10:59He's got six, seven kicks.
11:01We want to talk about being resurrected.
11:03One, two, three, two, one.
11:07The beating that Phoenix is taking right now, aside from the changes in his whole presence,
11:16he's almost like not really feeling it.
11:20He's enjoying it.
11:21As you said, it's great.
11:23Who knows what transformation Phoenix went through when he was placed inside of a coffin,
11:29a three-way to the grave.
11:31And it's become a dark Phoenix now.
11:33And I think here in the temple, maybe that is a good thing.
11:38Jeez.
11:38It's a modified drop top there.
11:41Kick to the chest and slap to the chest.
11:44Now a muscle buster.
11:45No, spin out through into a driver.
11:49Got him.
11:51Incredible.
11:52Incredible.
11:55Yeah.
11:56Let's see, this is it right here.
11:58Here's your winner.
11:59What's wrong with that?
12:00Phoenix!
12:01Oh, man.
12:03He has to stop.
12:05Phoenix!
12:07Phoenix is victorious, albeit a changed man.
12:12What does that mean for the rest of Lucha Underground?
12:17I think he's doing exactly what he needs to be.
12:20Phoenix!
12:23Wait a minute.
12:24Phoenix!
12:25Stop!
12:26Phoenix drools.
12:27Here's Melissa.
12:29Phoenix, I don't know what's happened to you, but what I do know is that this isn't you.
12:35Okay, so, if you want me once in your life, put my attention, listen.
12:40Leave this ring.
12:42Go get help.
12:44I'm going to be waiting for you.
12:46Because I want my Phoenix to return.
12:49My Phoenix.
12:53Let's go.
12:55Please.
12:57Maybe she's got to be like this.
13:02Don't hit her!
13:04Phoenix!
13:10Phoenix!
13:14Phoenix!
13:16Phoenix!
13:17Phoenix!
13:17There we see L Dragon as Teca as Melissa's friend.
13:22It's a friend.
13:24No, no, no, no.
13:27You're welcome.
13:27You're welcome.
13:29You're welcome.
13:30Dragon came to Melissa's aid last week.
13:32And we've been in a bit of wine tonight.
13:36I'm not good, I'm not good, I'm not good.
13:49Phoenix!
13:51Oh, yes!
13:53I mean, Dragon has to defend the Gift of the Gods title later tonight.
13:58What are you doing?
14:02On to the floor, this new Blackfire Driver.
14:10Ladies and gentlemen, as Melissa's please, fall on deaf ears.
14:14This changed and cruel Phoenix takes out his aggression,
14:18first on Aerostar, and now on El Dragon Azteca Jr.
14:23But here's the rub.
14:25El Dragon Azteca is supposed to defend
14:27his Gift of the Gods title next.
14:33We need a medic!
14:45Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
14:48If you're just joining us, Phoenix was victorious over Aerostar.
14:52Phoenix then encroached, confronted, Melissa Santos.
14:56El Dragon Azteca Jr., Melissa's friend, came to Melissa's aid.
15:00Phoenix attacked Dragon.
15:01And now our medics are here, talking to Dragon,
15:05who is scheduled to defend the Gift of the Gods title.
15:08This is so unfortunate.
15:12Don't you think?
15:14El Dragon Azteca Jr.,
15:17recently,
15:19you have made me a believer.
15:21I thought you were going to successfully defend your Gift of the Gods all the way to Ultima Lucha.
15:33However, you are clearly in no condition to defend the title tonight.
15:44So, I'm going to have to call this a forfeit.
15:48No, don't do that to them.
15:51These kids work so hard.
15:53And, I'm going to hand over the Gift of the Gods,
15:58to marry the Mars Martinez.
16:02Can we get a shot at Dragon?
16:04Look at him.
16:05He's trying to pull himself up, shaking his head.
16:08No, and look!
16:10To the Mars.
16:11Great.
16:12Great.
16:13I mean...
16:15I don't believe this.
16:18I'll fight!
16:19You really do have the heart of a champion.
16:25I'll fight!
16:27Okay.
16:29Well,
16:30if you are willing to fight,
16:33let's have the match right now.
16:39Melissa,
16:40take it away.
16:44How's he going to do this?
16:47Now, Melissa!
16:54The Falling Lucha is scheduled for one fall, and it's for the Gift of the Gods championship.
17:03Introducing first, in the ring, he is the Gift of the Gods champion from Tijuana, Mexico, El Bravo Azteca Jr.
17:12A valiant champion.
17:14He's been defending his title all this time, trying to build momentum to Ultima Lucha Quatro.
17:23And his opponent, from La Jolla, California, Marty the Moth Martinez.
17:34The last time we saw Marty the Moth Martinez, he was one of the last two left in Aztec Warfare.
17:41He stood face to face with our champion, Pentagon Dark, and Marty suffered a broken arm.
17:47Marty, we know him to be unhinged, but Vampiro, what lengths will Marty go to?
17:53Did you just see what I saw?
17:56What's that?
17:57Different color t-shirt, different look on his face, his chin is down, his eyes are rolled up into the
18:02back of his head.
18:05The intensity is different, the mindset has definitely changed, Matt.
18:13Marty the Moth Martinez will have the size, power, and, dare I say, mean streak advantage.
18:20Well, Dragon Azteca Jr. will have the Lucha Libre speed, high-flying advantage, and that X Factor, the Believer's behind
18:28it.
18:30I'm just excited to see the insanity versus somebody who's insanely wanting to retain the title.
19:01He's such a huge disadvantage here, Pharrell Dragon Azteca. If you were in Dragon's corner, if you were in Eddie
19:07Cook, so to speak, what type of...
19:07He's such a huge disadvantage here, Pharrell Dragon Azteca. If you were in Dragon's corner, if you were in Eddie
19:08Cook, so to speak, what type of...
19:10I would just say, kid, this is one of them days that's going to put your chin down, close your
19:15eyes and swing for the fences.
19:16There's no other way. You're going to get a beating, but you get back up and give it just as
19:19hard.
19:20Now, I'm noticing here, this is the first time seeing El Dragon Azteca versus, in my opinion, a true heavyweight.
19:26Anything about that strategy here?
19:28Well, I just think that something has happened, and yes, it's eventually going to happen.
19:33I mean, everybody is vying for that spot for the Lucha Underground Championship.
19:37Size does not come into play when you're in the big leagues, man.
19:41But let me tell you something that does, if you don't mind.
19:44What's up?
19:44Crazy is almost...
19:46Crazy does work in the big leagues, yes.
19:48Yeah, well, okay, being crazy is like an off-the-wall thing.
19:51You know, something out of character if you're having an off day.
19:54Psychotic.
19:55Check this out.
19:56It's a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior with a lack of conscience.
20:05I think that is my good friend, Marty the Moth.
20:08Great description there.
20:10The definition of psychotic.
20:12It's not like I've been told that before and I know it off my heart, but I'm just saying.
20:15Now, is there anything to the fact that El Dragon Azteca successfully defended the Gift of the Gods title versus
20:20the Mariposa, Marty's sister?
20:22Is Marty simply trying to break his neck?
20:24To look like this today.
20:26But, man, do you think there's anything to that?
20:27That Dragon wrestled Marty's sister?
20:29I don't think so.
20:31I think that it's just something's going on.
20:33And, you know, you can only push or bend a piece of wood until it's eventually going to snap.
20:38Right?
20:39I think that's where we're at with this guy.
20:43As Vampiro bends wood, Marty the Moth Martinez goes in for the cover and only gets a two.
20:50I'm definitely noticing a more focused and concentrated Marty.
20:55Yes.
20:55With just a look on his face like he's almost here.
20:59How dare he be present in the moment?
21:01You know what I'm saying?
21:01No, I get what you're saying.
21:02Normally Marty's distant, but Dragon has been exponentially slowed down here and I think that has to work into Marty's
21:09favor.
21:10Oh, my God. He just hit bad.
21:14And this is going to be what El Dragon Aztec is going to need to do now.
21:17He needs to formulate a new game plan because most of his assets here are going to be negated.
21:21So now, what does El Dragon Aztec have?
21:23How's the evolution? Oh, man.
21:26Got his foot caught on the top rope but still took Marty over.
21:29Wow, dude. So what about Mr. Nice Guy?
21:31He's got to stop being Mr. Nice Guy.
21:33Agreed.
21:33And he's got to fight.
21:34This is the one where you just pull out everything from the dirty book.
21:37Watch. And fight.
21:39Now Dragon gets going here. Adrenaline. It's a great drug.
21:47Of course, this is for the Gift of the Gods title.
21:50And holding that title puts you one step away from a Lucha Underground title shot.
21:55And that's all Dragon has ever wanted.
21:57So you actually think that they're defending this belt or they're defending the opportunity to not have that shot?
22:05You know what I mean?
22:06The belt gets in play.
22:07But what happens if you win?
22:08You get a shot automatically at the big prize.
22:12Cross body cover.
22:13Leg hooked.
22:15Ooh.
22:17I mean, Dragon wants that shot so badly at Ultima Lucha 4.
22:21He knows that we are in Ultima Lucha's season and Dragon is inching ever closer to his dream.
22:27I don't buy it, dude.
22:27What don't you buy, dude?
22:29I don't buy it at all, dude.
22:31Thank you very much.
22:32DDTJ!
22:33Signature Maneuver!
22:34Leg is up!
22:35El Dragon has Tekka!
22:36Wow!
22:37Each and every one of us is in the sport for one thing and one thing only.
22:41And that's to be the champion, the top, the king.
22:43If he was sincere with you and everybody else in here who believes in him, he would pull that charade
22:49back and just go for the title.
22:51Or he's gonna end up facing bigger, stronger, crazier opponents who's gonna put him in his place.
22:56Listen, we rarely see anyone kick out of that DDTJ and to me it's almost as if El Dragon Azteca
23:02has thrown his best pitch or his best punch.
23:04Now!
23:05Yes, you're right.
23:07Dragon needs to be desperate here.
23:08Dragon needs to be dark and dirty.
23:10Dragon also needs to be put right side up.
23:14Marty uses his power.
23:15Dragon back onto his feet.
23:17Marty kick to the gut.
23:18Changes the level here.
23:19Hook up.
23:20Ooh!
23:21Modification on the Kobashi DDT!
23:24Ah!
23:25Oh yeah!
23:26You gotta be kidding me!
23:28As the Moth flies across the moonlit night, the dream is over for the dragon.
23:34And the nightmare for Marty Martinez is just beginning.
23:39Here's your winner and new Gixx of the Gods champion, Marty the Moth Martinez.
23:52Well, as the rules of the Gift of the Gods title goes, Marty must give our promoter one week's notice
23:58before he exchanges the title for a Lucha Underground championship opportunity.
24:11Here we go.
24:13He's the champion.
24:13The new coronation.
24:15The Gift of the Gods champion is now Marty the Moth Martinez.
24:21Credit El Dragon Azteca who defended that title every single opportunity.
24:26Marty chose to defend it tonight even after being dumped on the floor by Phoenix.
24:32And we have to call Marty the Moth Martinez the new Gift of the Gods champion.
24:38And perhaps the greatest irony of all is that Marty has to give the assist to his bitter enemy Phoenix.
24:45We have one new champion tonight, but will we have another?
24:50Because up next, King Cuerno and Mil Muertes both challenge Pentagon Dark.
24:55The Aztec gold, the Lucha Underground title is on the line.
24:59Don't you dare go away.
25:13It's time.
25:15You may enter.
25:23I've been waiting up there for a month.
25:33Mr. London, time is but a flat circle.
25:39You should know this by now.
25:42Please reassure me that this is not the only reason you have come here to speak with me.
25:49But I did good.
25:51Mala Suerte in Saltador failed our tribe.
25:57So I sacrificed them.
25:59But I did it as a glorious display of my undying loyalty to you.
26:12Pardon me, were you saying something?
26:14Yes, I said...
26:16It appears as though you have two rabbit tribe members missing.
26:22Where are they?
26:24Well, I was...
26:24Eureka!
26:26I have an idea.
26:30El Bunny and I have been getting a little...
26:37...stir-crazy.
26:41Down here...
26:43Perhaps it's time, if you could be so kind, as to show us the way to the temple.
26:54What say you?
26:56Friend-o?
26:58Yeah!
27:00Outstanding.
27:04Mr. London, lead the way.
27:10With pleasure.
27:22The following lucha is a three-way match, and it's for the Lucha Underground Championship!
27:29Introducing the challengers, first, from the highlands of Guerrero, Mexico, King Cuerno!
27:39It was two weeks ago that this luchador made his intentions known, and then last week, King Cuerno and Milne
27:46Muertes went to war with no clear-cut winner.
27:49Antonio Cuerno, then decreed this a three-way dance, no disqualifications, no count-outs. There must be a winner. Lucha
27:59Underground title hangs in the balance.
28:01Milne Muertes, Milne Muertes, Milne Muertes!
28:05And the next challenger, from beyond the grave, Milne Muertes!
28:15A former Lucha Underground champion in his own right, Milne Muertes, who now stands alone in the temple.
28:24And many experts say that this Milne Muertes is a far more dangerous Milne Muertes.
28:31Now that he's on his own, untethered, unchained, if you will, the man of a thousand deaths creeps towards the
28:39ring.
28:40He just looks lean.
28:42And he just looks like there's nothing in his way, and he's just there to do violence.
28:49How can you not like that?
28:51Now, we await the champion.
28:55And finally, he is the Lucha Underground champion, from Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, Pentagon Dark!
29:06Say what you want about Pentagon Dark, but this man has stepped up to every challenge and has turned away
29:12every challenger in order to keep the Aztec gold around his shoulder.
29:16Vampiro, there is no one I know that knows the champion any better than you.
29:21This is exactly what he wanted.
29:23He wanted just like baiting them to come to the dark side.
29:26Now they're in his element.
29:27And the most dangerous thing for King Muertes and Milne Muertes is because now the fans, the temple, the believers,
29:35are behind Pentagon Dark more than ever.
29:38This is just something out of this world, my friend.
29:40So many elements here.
29:41Milne Muertes, a former Lucha Underground champion.
29:44King Cuerno, a former Gift of the Gods champion.
29:46And of course, our current champion, Pentagon Dark.
29:48They are all ready for battle.
29:50These three men have a long history of hatred.
29:53But up next, only one has a future as champion.
29:58Who's gonna walk away with the gold?
30:00Don't go away.
30:01We find out.
30:02Lucha Underground is coming right back.
30:16Welcome back to Lucha Underground.
30:18This, a three-way dance for the Lucha Underground title.
30:22The champion, Pentagon Dark.
30:24Of course, the challengers, Milne Muertes and King Cuerno.
30:27Now, Vampiro, in a three-way dance.
30:30There are no disqualifications, no count outs.
30:32To me, the intrigue in a three-way is that the champ doesn't need to be pinned.
30:37So, where does the advantage lie?
30:40I think the smartest strategy here, man, correct me if I'm wrong,
30:44is you gotta take somebody out.
30:45Looking at this right here, we would go for Milne Muertes,
30:48take him out, and focus on the smaller guy.
30:50Here we go.
30:51Muertes is gonna have the strength advantage.
30:53I think Cuerno is gonna have the high-flying advantage.
30:56But Pentagon Dark is a submission specialist.
30:58There's really something for everyone in this match.
31:00No doubt, but I think Pentagon's a little bit more than that.
31:03He's a dark specialist.
31:04He can kick, he can punch, he can fly, he can do it all.
31:08Plus, being the champion at this stage in the game,
31:10he has taken many, many, many distinct beatings.
31:13This is nothing new to him, so I don't even think he's scared.
31:15Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
31:20Looks like Pentagon is shielded by King Cuerno.
31:24But perhaps that reprieve is short-lived as Milne Muertes delivers a headbutt.
31:29And now Muertes keeps both of his opponents close.
31:33Sends Cuerno across, sets his sights on Pentagon.
31:36Wow.
31:37Jeez.
31:38Wow.
31:38Dude.
31:43And Vamp, of course, I illustrated how the Temple, Lucha Underground,
31:48built on the sweat and blood of these three men.
31:50You could call them originals.
31:52Is there anything to that?
31:53That they've been here so long?
31:56Yes, we got their DNA embedded in the Temple.
31:59And the Temple is embedded in them.
32:00They've been all over the world, they've earned their stripes.
32:02Some of them have gone to darker sides than others.
32:04But at the same time, the fans, the believers, do just that.
32:10They believe.
32:11And to further the point, a lot of times when guys are in a place for a long time,
32:16they become complacent.
32:18They almost feel like they're owed something.
32:20But to me, Pentadon Dark has managed to stay hungry.
32:23He's managed to stay with that desire of want.
32:26That, to me, goes a long way.
32:30Oof.
32:34Starting attack by King Cuerno as the action now completely spills to the floor.
32:40And Mil Muertes loves it.
32:41It's where he thrives.
32:44Muertes!
32:45Modifying spear caught Cuerno up high in the armpits.
32:48Upper chest area.
32:50Hard to breathe for Cuerno.
32:52But Muertes sucks in the breath of life,
32:55or perhaps the breath of death,
32:57as he takes someone's head off.
33:01Look at that.
33:02Almost literally.
33:04Oh, boy.
33:05You can see there.
33:06We get a look at Pentagon's face.
33:08We've discussed the importance of the mask and lucha libre.
33:12The honor and the pride.
33:14And now what Mil Muertes is doing is the ultimate disrespect.
33:18It's also your battle armor.
33:20It's kind of like your security blanket for those less initiated to understand
33:24how important it is to go out there wearing your home team's colors, right?
33:29Oh, my God.
33:33Front row.
33:33Dude.
33:34He just did like a windshield wiper.
33:37Of that top rail.
33:38He went in there face first, dude.
33:40Remember, the champ doesn't need to be pinned.
33:42If Pentagon is over in the first row there,
33:45Cuerno and Mil are in the ring.
33:46The title can change hands right here.
33:48Pentagon's hurt, man.
33:50Muertes sends Cuerno in.
33:52Follows close behind.
33:53Cuerno up and over.
33:54We talked about Cuerno's speed.
33:56He's gonna need to use it here.
33:59Wow.
34:00Backbreaker used Mil's own momentum against him.
34:02Almost like a counterpuncher in boxing.
34:05Taking what your opponent gives you and turning it into offense.
34:08Speaking of which,
34:10this inside-out power slam there.
34:11Leg hooked.
34:12Pentagon back in just in time.
34:15Where did he kick him?
34:16Right underneath the lat, the armpit.
34:18Exactly, for the kidneys, right?
34:20Do some internal damage.
34:21You're not gonna beat Mil Muertes kicking him up in the upper body.
34:24It's too big and too powerful.
34:26And he doesn't even feel that.
34:27You gotta remember, this kid was buried alive with rocks on his chest.
34:31A simple kick ain't gonna do it.
34:33Pentagon backs Mil into the corner.
34:35I'm not so sure Pentagon wants a trade blows with Mil.
34:37And Pentagon realizes that.
34:39But Mil has the weight advantage.
34:40He reverses the whip.
34:41Pentagon quick out.
34:42Mil's shoulder hits the ring post.
34:45Pentagon in.
34:46Enziguri.
34:47No Muertes still on his feet.
34:52Not good.
34:53Not good.
34:54Oh, smart.
34:56I like what Pentagon's doing.
34:58He's keeping the action moving here.
35:00He's picking up the pace.
35:01He knows that eventually the big man may tire.
35:05He's definitely chipping away at the stone.
35:07He's definitely chopping away at the bit.
35:09And he's doing very, very well.
35:10He's gotta go for it.
35:12Forget about the fans.
35:13F the fans.
35:14Go for the victory.
35:16Pentagon.
35:17With his torn mask.
35:19Let's the world know that he has zero fear.
35:22Double stomp.
35:23Right down to the heart of Mil Muertes.
35:26Cover.
35:27Two.
35:27No.
35:28Well, you stomp on somebody who doesn't have a heart.
35:30It really doesn't do you that much good, does it, Matt?
35:32Stomp to the chest cavity.
35:34Okay.
35:40Cuerno ascends high above.
35:42Sunset flip.
35:42Pentagon able to keep his momentum going.
35:44He rolls through.
35:45And Cuerno catches Pentagon with a nice knee strike.
35:48Very strong knee strike.
35:50Anytime you get two or three steps behind that,
35:52you're hitting with ten times the force of just a standing knee strike.
35:54Tension begins to build.
35:57Pressure mounts.
35:58Cuerno hoists Pentagon up onto his shoulders.
36:01Deposits him with a driver.
36:03Referee down too.
36:05But Mil Muertes takes advantage of the exposed throat of King Cuerno.
36:10Muertes up.
36:12Cuerno down.
36:13Onto the ancient Aztec seal.
36:15Ooh.
36:15Ref was in position there.
36:17And there's a bit of a hesitation from Muertes.
36:19And Pentagon, ever the ring general, took full advantage.
36:23Catches Cuerno spinning around.
36:25What does Pentagon have in mind here?
36:27The exposed back of Muertes gets Pentagon's attention one more time.
36:32And now, this.
36:39Package pile driver.
36:41Leg hooked.
36:42He got him.
36:44Here's your winner, and still,
36:47Luchan-A-Round champion, Pentagon John.
36:51Oh!
36:52I love what Pentagon did here.
36:54He was able to dispose of the threat of Mil Muertes long enough to hit a nice big maneuver on
36:59King Cuerno.
37:00It only takes three seconds for victory.
37:02And Pentagon Dark retains the Lucha Underground Championship.
37:09This is Marty Martinez.
37:11We just saw Marty won the Gift of the Gods title, and...
37:15I mean, yeah, this makes sense.
37:18Send that message.
37:22Is this Marty's way of saying that next week he's gonna challenge for the title?
37:26Hell yeah, homie.
37:28Well, that has to come from Marty himself, but...
37:31I mean, I get what Marty's doing here.
37:33Yeah, he's beating his head through the floor.
37:36Anybody can see that.
37:37Look at Marty's gaze.
37:38It's fixed upon the grand prize here in the Temple.
37:41Yeah!
37:49Can you imagine a world where Marty Martinez is the Lucha Underground champion?
37:54Can you imagine the world that Marty has had to live in inside his head his whole life?
37:59We've documented his instability, but dare I say that he's an unstable genius.
38:06Double underhook.
38:09Wow.
38:10And that's how Marty won the Gift of the Gods title.
38:14Perhaps some foreshadowing.
38:16Very, very serious Marty Martinez right now.
38:20He who forgets will be destined to remember.
38:23Pentagon broke Marty's arm at Aztec Warfare.
38:25And now the moth is held bent on revenge.
38:31You know, my son, DarÃo, insisted that in order to use the Gift of the Gods, you had to give
38:45a week's notice.
38:47However, Marty made a very convincing argument to me last week about why that's a stupid rule.
39:04Therefore, in Antonio Cueto's temple, the Gift of the Gods can be exchanged for a Lucha Underground title match anytime
39:20the holder wants.
39:25So, Marty, would you like to exchange the gift of the Gods for a Lucha Underground title match right now?
39:39Like or not, Antonio's one hell of a promoter and a great shit-stirer too.
39:44In that case, ring the bell.
39:50Marty has said yes.
39:52Cover here.
39:57Marty Martinez has officially exchanged the Gift of the Gods title.
40:01This is now a Lucha Underground Championship match.
40:04The challenger, Marty, the Mark Martinez.
40:06The champion, Pentagon Dark.
40:08As the challenger range blows down.
40:10Cover here.
40:13Pentagon just went through a three-way match.
40:16Barely escaped with the title.
40:18Here comes Marty Martinez.
40:20Man, thoughts?
40:21This is really awesome.
40:22Let's see if Pentagon Dark is sincerely deserving of the championship.
40:27This is something that's going to test his internal fortitude.
40:38Pentagon has turned back so many challenges here.
40:42And look at what Marty's doing.
40:43He's tying Pentagon's mask to the middle rope.
40:46We saw Cage tie Pentagon's mask to the steel barricade.
40:49Pentagon was able to overcome Cage.
40:54Of course, there are no disqualifications here, man.
40:57No, but he just got a whooping from two other guys.
41:00Well, two other monsters.
41:01Well, one monster and a hunter.
41:03And now an insane person.
41:06How's Marty going to pin Pentagon if Pentagon's tied to the middle rope?
41:09I think Marty just realized that.
41:12Well...
41:14I'm just...
41:15Cover here.
41:16Leg hooked.
41:18No.
41:18The champ keeps kicking out.
41:20The champ keeps showing fight.
41:23I'm just kind of absorbing the violence, my friend.
41:27And this change to the rules and dumping it on us just like that.
41:31The only good thing that I'm seeing right now is the fans are certainly responding.
41:35I feel like I'm in a football stadium, soccer, European-style hooligans,
41:40singing, chanting, and a good fist fight.
41:42That's awesome.
41:43You know what I'm talking about.
41:45Absolutely.
41:45Uh-huh.
41:45And the arsenal in these two...
41:48Yeah.
41:48Like you've been in a fist fight.
41:49...is something that legends are made of.
41:53This...
41:53Are we...
41:54This is something that we've never...
41:56We've seen just about everything together here in the temple, Matt.
41:58Yes.
41:58This is something that we can finally say we didn't expect.
42:01And it's really peeled their wings back.
42:03I don't know, but I expected Pentagon to show some fight,
42:06and that's exactly what the champ is doing.
42:08Finally, he creates some separation between himself and Marty Martinez.
42:11Good.
42:12Flipping Kyle Driver.
42:13And look what Marty did.
42:15Wow.
42:15For all of Marty's insanity, that's a smart move.
42:18Roll under the bottom rope onto the floor.
42:20Pentagon can't pin you there.
42:24Dude, I don't know what just happened, but are you seeing what I'm seeing in front of me?
42:30Well, whoever that is, she just crawled out from underneath the ring.
42:42Whoever it is, Pentagon has no idea that there is someone else in the ring,
42:46and we don't know this person's intentions.
42:49And now we do?
42:51Dude.
42:52The referee is on the floor with Marty.
42:54Oh, wow.
42:55The same move Pentagon used this stranger.
43:00No, no, no, no.
43:04And it's like Marty Martinez was playing possum on the floor to keep the attention of Marty Elias.
43:10And now, is the inevitable about to happen?
43:14Oh, my God.
43:17Oh, my God.
43:20The package pile driver, the signature maneuver of Pentagon.
43:24One, two, three.
43:26In one night, everything has changed.
43:29Here's your winner and new Lucha Underground champion, Marty the Mock Martinez.
43:36Yay!
43:37Give the assist to this Black Widow, whoever she is.
43:44I never thought I'd say this.
43:47Ladies and gentlemen, Marty the Mock Martinez is your new Lucha Underground champion.
43:58As we wipe the sweat from our brow, Vamp, tonight we saw Marty the Mock Martinez completely change the landscape
44:06of the temple.
44:06By not only winning the Gift of the Gods title, but then winning the Lucha Underground championship.
44:13I mean, Pentagon Dark survived Aztec warfare.
44:17He beat Matanza, Cage, Hernandez.
44:19And tonight, Pentagon overcame both Milwaertes and King Cuerno.
44:23But it's the Mock who ends Pentagon Dark's historic reign.
44:28And why did this venomous woman help Marty do it?
44:33Man, oh, man, the web gets even more tangled.
44:36And only the Gods know where we go from here.
44:39For Vampiro, I'm that striker.
44:42Amongst the shock believers, we say goodnight, everybody.
