Lucha Underground Championship
Aztec Warfare Match

Fenix (#1) and Johnny Mundo (#2) start out in a draw which was supposed to be random, but obviously Cueto had something to do with it. Mundo with a leg sweep, but Fenix counters with a frop kick. Mundo gets back up to his feet and lands a calf kick, but eats a calf kick and goes between the ropes.

(#3) Cisco comes out and attacks both competitors. He’s quickly pinned after a Starship pain by Mundo, and the first two participants are still in as we head to break. King Cuerno (#4) enters right after the break, but all three go at each other. Cuerno hits a monkey flip on Fenix and a sunset dive on Mundo. Fenix hits a big dive on Cuerno as Son of Havoc (#5) comes out.

Havoc stomps Mundo and gloats, but runs right into a beating. He doe a really impressive rebound back elbow and a dive onto the entire field. Pimpinela Escarlata (#6) is out and lands several arm drags before kissing Fenix.

Prince Puma (#7) comes out and goes right at Mundo while everyone else just kind of disappears, including Pimpinela, who just cleared the ring. Big lionsault from Puma gets two, but he gets booted in the face by Mundo. Fenix in with a springboard legdrop on Mudno, and Ivelisse (#8) makes her way out. She hits a big huracanrana and tornado DDT, but is interrupted by Pimpinela trying to kiss everyone. Son of Havoc eliminates Escarlata mercifully with a shooting star press.

Drago (#9) hits the ring and takes out Fenix with a backdrop DDT, and Mundo with a tornado DDT but can’t pin either. He hits the reverse rana on Prince Puma, and is saved by Ivelisse when Cuerno picks him up. Cuerno lands his finish on Ivelisse for the pin. Bael (#10) comes out as Drago does a dive, and Puma eliminates Son of Havoc.

Cortez Castro (#11) comes out and three members of “The Crew” are now in the match and jump Fenix, Mundo and Puma. Ricky Mandel (#12) comes out and starts attacking the heels. Puma eliminates Bael with a standing star press, and Mundo sends Cortez packing with a knee to the face. Their timing is good as Big Ryck (#13) is making his way to the ring.

Ryck immediately eliminates Ricky Mandel with his finish and helps Cuerno dispose of Drago. Right after, Mundo lands a crucifix pin on Cuerno. Pentagon Jr (#14) enters the fray as the field has really thinned out. Puma and Mundo superkick Ryck, but Pentagon gives them each one as well. Penatgon is absolutely on fire with a powerbomb backbreaker on Puma, and counters Fenix’s somersault rana with a powerbomb.

Super Fly (#15) and Chavo Guerrero (#16) are the next entrants, and Chavo brings a chair to the ring and hits Super Fly over the skull for the pin. He does the same to Pentagon for a pin. Mascarita Sagrada (#17) is out just before the break.

Back from the commercial, and the crowd is going nuts for Sagrada but he gets a beatdown from Chavo. Fenix goes to war with Sagrada, and Fenix has been in since the beginning. Fenix hits Sagrada with a mean, and I mean like….a rude dropkick.

Sexy Star (#18) is out and goes after Chavo. Oh no, Sagrada is in the ring with Ryck. This isn’t going to be pretty. Ryck kills him with a clothesline. See ya later Sagrada.

El Mariachi Loco (#19) is in and flips around a few times before landing an awesome springboard armdrag on Mundo and a superkick on Puma. Ryck clotheslines Loco to the mat as Mil Muertes (#20) rounds out the field.

Muertes eliminates Loco and faces off with Ryck. The two can’t take each other off their feet, and the rest of the field jumps on them. Mundo, Chavo Puma, Ryck, Muertes, Fenix and Star remain.

Chavo tries to steal the pin after everyone hits big moves on Ryck. The ref screws up and stops counting the pin as Fenix comes off the top with a 450, but they pin Ryck anyway. Chavo then pins Fenix, who had been in for about 35 minutes. Also, Vampiro told Sexy Star not to be a “biatch” at some point.

Blue Demon makes a surprise appearance and distracts Chavo so Star can hit him with a chair for the pin. Star, Puma, Mundo and Muertes are left. Everyone goes after Muertes until Star uses a running headscissors on Mundo. This proves to be a dumb decision as Muertes drops and pins her.

We’re down to three, and Muertes and Mundo hit a double team move on Puma that sends him reeling. Muertes is up top, but Mundo and Puma come after him and land a double superplex. Instead of working to eliminate Muertes, Puma and Mundo are still after each other. Katrina gets on the apron and Mundo accidentally kicks her. This infuriates Muertes and Mundo begs off.

Muertes is dropped and pinned with two springboard 450s from Mundo and Puma! We’re down to Puma and Mundo. Johnny Mundo has been in the ring since the beginning. The two are really going at it and end up on the top rope. Puma hits the Spanish Fly but only gets two! Mundo with a reverse Frankensteiner from the top and Starship Pain but Puma kicks out!!! 630 from Prince Puma!! He wins!

Winner: Prince Puma via pinfall (630 Senton) to become Lucha Underground Champion

Konnan and Johnny Mundo congratulate Puma on his victory to close the show.

Road Warrior Animal Responds To The Ascension’s RAW Promo, Blames ‘Idiots In Charge’

0

We noted on Monday night how former WWE star Lance Storm tweeted that he was turning RAW off due to The Ascension mocking The Road Warriors in their promo. Storm was upset because Road Warrior Hawk is no longer with us.

WWE Hall of Famer Road Warrior Animal (Joe Laurinaitis) posted the following on his Facebook page about The Ascension’s promo:

“The idiots in charge make the call everyone knows how stupid it is to copy icons yet they still do it. Do it in a mocking fashion to get heat I understand do it in a disrespectful way well that’s another issue that’s low and has no place in the business.

Where does it end and I usually are just are playing when I comment but this one is a shoot I believe they should have had Me Animal find a team. For some undetected odd reason they don’t do it. They missed the boat with Ascention and they missed it when my brother John was in the ring both great times to bring me in and they missed it.

They need to go to their merchandise numbers today and see we rank up with the main roster on selling merchandise for a reason.

Oh what a rush.”

We noted before that WWE may induct Ray “The Crippler” Stevens into the WWE Hall of Fame this year due to his history in the area and that Pat Patterson may do the induction.

The Wrestling Observer reports that Patterson apparently is pushing for Stevens to be inducted because Stevens was the biggest star to ever work Northern California in the territory days. Patterson and Stevens spent several years as a top heel tag team, The Blond Bombers.

Stevens passed away on May 5th, 1996 from a heart attack but his children still live in Northern California, so they could be there to accept the honor.

Backstage Update On Alberto Del Rio Possibly Making His TNA Debut On Tonight’s Impact

We noted before that TNA officials wanted Alberto “El Patron” Del Rio to make his debut on tonight’s live Impact Wrestling on Destination America. The Wrestling Observer reports that it doesn’t look like Del Rio will be debuting because as of two days ago, the two sides weren’t even close to signing a deal.

Del Rio signing with TNA may be a long shot because he’s receiving so many offers and some would likely conflict with TNA, including Lucha Underground. People close to Del Rio have advised him that TNA is a sinking ship and does nothing but hurt the careers of talents who go there.

WWE Superstar Responds To Report On Backstage Talent Meeting At Monday’s RAW

0

We noted yesterday, via verified WWE insider MetsFan4Ever on Reddit, that Triple H held a talent meeting backstage at Monday’s RAW to encourage talents to step up as we go into the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 31.

Cody Rhodes, who tweets out of the Stardust character at @PrinceCGR, responded to that report on Twitter:

I keep hearing about “talent meetings”…

Those are near impossible to hold and I haven’t seen one in over a year.

— Hyrule Husky (@PrinceCGR) January 6, 2015

MetsFan4Ever later replied:

“Come on Cody. You’re better than that. You know damn well that talent meetings are not impossible to hold. In my time I witnessed many of them. Both in the arena and in the locker room.

“In fact there was one time where you all had to watch the WWE Film ‘The Day.’ That wasn’t impossible to get you all together to watch before Raw, was it?”
