And Son of Havoc/Ivelisse/Angelico win the Trios championship. My god that Angelico can stand after that jump is AMAZING.
A fantastic episode, see you fine folks, hopefully on time, next Monday.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
HOLY CATS!
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Matt Stryker: Nothing The Crew does is pretty.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
If I was booking it, I'd have Big Ryck's team come out and take The Crew out, but right now we get a beatdown.
Oh, for a second I thought Angelico was going to go off the rooftop...
Cisco botched trying to brainbuster Son of Havoc off the raised seating area...
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Cage/Cuerno/Texano has been eliminated, due to Davari's interference.
Now it's Big Ryck's team vs. Son of Havoc's team.
And Angelico pins Killshot to win the Trios titles for his team..or not yet. One more team.
Oh goodie. The flunkies...I mean The Crew. No-DQ.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Angelico sends Texano into the ringside seated Davari, who spills his drink and is grumpy about it. Does Davari attack Angelico? Nope, he goes after Texano. Gotta say, I'd rather have ringside spectator shenanigans in this sort of promotion vs. WWE or AEW.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
I have to say, any multi-person match is infinitely better and more interesting if you make the match an elimination match. Regular triple (or more) matches are BORING and the faces always start fighting each other way too early.
And this match is turning tornado-y.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Next up...we have 25+ minutes for the Trios elimination championship match.
Cage/Cuerno/Texano vs. Son of Havoc/Ivelisse/Angelico vs. Big Ryck/Killshot/The Mack
Ryck, that cigar isn't good for your cardio...
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Sexy Star beats Pentagon Jr.
I wouldn't be so gleeful about the win Melissa (ring announcer lady)...that might come back to bite you.
Now a bit between Alberto and Johnny Mundo. Alberto says Mundo is a loser.
That spinny camera is going to make me sick...
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
First match, Sexy Star vs. Pentagon Jr.
Davari is also still in the crowd.
Matt Striker, as far as I know Penta was never part of the No Limit Soldiers. He would have been 14 when that (really bad) angle was done in WCW.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
I'm just getting around to watching the #LuchaUnderground ep that #Vundacast watched last night. s1e24 Trios Champions.
We start with the Black Lotus storyline. She beats up some dudes in the dark and doesn't even have a rebar cane, then faces El Dragon Azteca, who says she's not ready.
Well, since I'm already really late and a wee bit sleepy, I'll watch the second match tomorrow morning. Gnight all!
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Drago wins the best of five and now, hopefully, we get to find out what Dario's "unique opportunity" will be.
....
Oh, not bad. A match against Prince Puma for the belt. With a catch. Oh dear, if Drago doesn't win, he's banned from the Temple.
Quality stip.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
That "Trust Fall" (Coffin Drop) by Aerostar had a NICE camera angle.
Matt Stryker: It always amazes me the things that are underneath a wrestling ring.
IT'S A WRESTLING TABLE MATT. I'd be more surprised if there wasn't a table under the ring.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Dario is grinning too nastily about what just happened to Melissa (ring announcer lady).
I hope he gets sacrificed by Penta.
Next up, final match in the best of 5 between Aerostar and Drago.
Winner gets a "unique opportunity". I bet it's not a good opportunity...
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
OH NO I was right. Vampiro got up like he was going to do something, but Sexy Star beat him to the punch and rescued ring announcer lady.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Penta(gon Jr) is out for no reason, or so says ring announcer lady, since he's got no match scheduled. She would also like us to know that he dedicates his next sacrifice to his master.
Hey ring announcer lady, you might want to get out of the ring, just in case.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Dario still doesn't have his own bathroom.
Why does Drago have his special mask mouth on for this at all? We know they want him to do the tongue thing...which seems silly in this context Is he doing it to mock Dario or does he need to stretch it out every so often?
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Son of Havoc started out as a joke character for the first handful of matches he had, only got over finally because Ivalisse kept yelling at him for losing so he dumped her.
Huh.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Oh ouchie. Those full strength bull rope fist hits from Texano looked nasty!
Dario is out to speak. We are going to have a three way match with one member from each qualifying trios team.
Cage v. The Mack v. Son of Havoc
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
If I hadn't looked at the skeets from the folks watching on time unlike my lazy self, I would not have known that the guy sipping a drink at ringside was Shawn Davari. That despite the fact that he's local to my neck of the woods. Nice to see him here.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
First up, a Trios match. Cage/Cuerno/Texano vs. Mundo/Puma/Hernandez
IMHO Texano is only on the heel team here because LU thinks Alberto is a face.
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
We begin up on the roof with Aerostar and Dario causing the health and safety team conniptions since it's a slanty roof and there's no safety equipment to be seen
Dario, channeling the Million Dollar fraudster, tells Aerostar that in his Temple, everything has a price
#Vundacast #LuchaUnderground
Yes yes, I'm an hour late. Oh well. Time to watch some #LuchaUnderground! s1e23 Fire in the Cosmos!
