Cero Reviews Lucha Underground: The Re-watch EP6

Post by cero2k » Nov 8th, '15, 12:19

So now that LU season 1 is officially over, my life is meaningless, so in order to stay alive, i'm going to start re-watching LU from the beginning, evaluating subtle hints, things that were never payed off, build up that I missed. etc. I don't have to say, but I'll be spoiling a lot of future shows in case you haven't seen them. I won't rate matches with numbers, but I'll try to find a word that describes my feeling for the match.
EP 6: The Key
They show a recap of the previous shows focusing on the Puma/Ryck/Mundo feud and I'm not sure if this was ever a plan, but back then I was 100% that Konnan was turning on Puma soon.

Big Ryck has officially signed with Cueto and Lucha Underground.

Ivelisse promo - Tries to defend Son of Havoc's booking, god bless her. She says that they signed a 7-yr contract, which is actually how long the LU contracts are.

Son of Havoc w/Ivelisse vs Pimpinela Escarlata - FUN
Striker with huge shots to The Miz saying he was one of the previous exoticos in the US, that came out of left field. Pimpi is soo damn over with the crowd, it's interesting how Mexico is probably the only country that can get these gimmicks over. They didn't show the kiss close enough, which is a gimmick of Pimpi, I'm guessing it's because of censorship?

Dario Cueto/Mundo segment - Dario is taking a leak and Mundo attacks him in the toilets, Mundo steals Cueto's key.

Famous B vs Mil Muertes w/Catrina - SQUASH
Best. Spear. Ever. So much better than he's flatliner. Catrina's skirt was so tight that Muertes had to lift B to his feet for her to lick him.

Drago Origin Story - AWESOME! so Dragonborn is the proper term for Drago, right?

Drago vs King Cuerno - GREAT! (on mute)
Great match, but it was one of those that commentary was soo annoying that I couldn't focus on the match. Between Vampiro having a hard one due to Lotus stalking the temple, and Striker trying to apply for a job at National Geographic Channel.

Johnny Mundo/Ryck/Konnan In-Ring Promo - Mundo wants his money, Ryck tells him to not be a little bitch, and then Konnan schools him. Puma and Mundo take out Ryck, but Puma wants to fight Mundo and so they brawl until refs and staff separate them. Cueto comes out and announces a $100,000 3-way LAAADDDEEEERRR MAAAAAATTCHHHHH!!!!!

LAAADDDEEEERRR MAAAAAATTCHHHHH!!!!!

Fenix and Sexy Star vs Chavo Guerrero and Pentagon Jr. - GREAT
Both Sexy and Fenix got to be babyface in peril, so it was mostly a rudo dominated match. This match made me realize how much i'd love to see a Fenix vs Chavo one-on-one match. Great match with a cool looking finish sequence. Sexy definitely put her work on this match.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Another build up show, nothing really that i would say was a huge development, we pretty much just touched on each feud or character and did a little build up. It surely feels like we are full on storyline mode now, because even thought we're still introducing characters, the show already feels complete.
