Vampiro and Matt Striker welcome us to Lucha Underground, as we see 10 Luchadores crowding the ring. Dario Cueto exits his office, wearing sunglasses to hide the black eye he received at the (right) hand of Johnny Mundo last week and says the 10 men in the ring with face off in one 10-way match, with another coming later tonight. Each winner gets a unique opportunity, which is worth more than money. He begins the first match right now.
MATCH 1: 10-WAY LUCHA MATCH
Involved in this match are Big Ryck, Mascarita Sagrada, Drago, Fenix, Pentagon Jr, El Mariachi Loco, Super Fly, King Cuerno, Son of Havoc and Prince Puma with taped ribs after last week. Everyone besides Drago and King Cuerno jumps Ryck at the beginning, but he sends them all off with a flex of his muscles. Striker and Vampiro clarify that it's a one-fall match. Sagrada was too short to be hit by Ryck so it looks like these guys will face off. Mascarita Sagrada goes behind Ryck with a hammerlock and kicks at his legs, but Ryck throws him over his own shoulder. Sagrada hits a rolling kick with no effect. Ryck sends Sagrada to the mat for Drago to use as a platform but Cuerno just catches him on the other side of the ring. They pair off as Ryck sends Sagrada out to the floor. Fenix hits a fancy springboard dropkick to Ryck, with El Mariachi Loco springboarding in with one of his own. Ryck's staggering on his feet and drops to a knee momentarily. Pentagon Jr sends him out of the ring with a running dropkick and hits Fenix with a slingblade in the middle of the ring.
Drago meets Pentagon Jr with a pair of thrust kicks, but gets sent over the top rope, he uses the momentum to lay out Cuerno with a twisting plancha! Drago lands in front of Danny Trejo giving Vampiro perfect chance to take a shot at the fan texting during 205 Live in WWE. Pentagon Jr and Mascarita Sagrada are left in the ring, Pentagon uses his obvious size advantage to lay out the Mini and we see Drago and King Cuerno on the outside. Mascarita Sagrada goes around twice on a tilt-a-whirl headscissors but Pentagon avoids a kick, hitting a lungblower. They fight to the apron and Sagrada is levelled with a superkick. Super Fly charges at Pentagon who jumps over so he slides out of the ring and trips him. Mascarita Sagrada is monkey flipped over onto Cuerno on the floor! Pentagon goes down to the floor and avoids the third charge sending Super Fly onto the apron but Super Fly hits a moonsault from the top rope to the floor!
Son of Havoc is in the ring, and he bounces himself off the top rope, robbing the fans of another dive. He takes too long jaw-jacking as Puma sneaks in the ring behind him, Havoc reverses an irish whip. Prince Puma jumps over and clears Son of Havoc with a front flip in a nice sequence. Son of Havoc finally catches Puma with a headscissors. Prince Puma reverses an irish whip and back handsprings into a headscissors of his own, sending Havoc out to the floor. Puma takes out Pentagon and Super Fly with a double-jump somersault senton and high fives Danny Trejo. Big Ryck is back in the ring with Fenix and El Mariachi Loco, with Drago climbing the turnbuckles in the background. Big Ryck is sent across the ring but breaks the double team sledge before sending Fenix and Loco inside out with clotheslines. Drago springs into the ring but is caught. Drago is lifted overhead and launched into Fenix and Loco. Big Ryck starts taking everyone out as they run at him one by one. Son of Havoc gets lifted overhead but Puma and Fenix save him with a double superkick to Ryck's midsection. More double-team kicks send Ryck out of the ring.
Fenix and Prince Puma are left in the ring, Fenix has the upper hand, sending Puma into the corner and following him with a jumping Yakuza kick. Not to be out-done Puma hits a running dropkick to Fenix on the other side of the ring. Fenix follows Puma across the ring and hits him with a flying knee strike, Puma staggers out of the corner into a superkick and Fenix leaps to the top turnbuckle in one go. Prince Puma is able to meet him up there, bringing King Cuerno over to the corner, Pentagon Jr and Drago assist with an awesome Tower of Doom spot! Son of Havoc hits a shooting star press on Fenix, but Super Fly breaks up the cover. Super Fly picks up Son of Havoc, dropping him like a weak Wasteland and hits a moonsault, Drago breaks up that cover with a kick to the head. Drago kicks Super Fly's legs before tying him up in the Dragons Tail, Cuerno breaks up the pin at 2. Drago slaps Cuerno as Super Fly leaves them to it but Cuerno drops him with an enziguri. Cuerno hits the Thrill of the Hunt on the symbol and covers but El Mariachi Loco breaks it up. Pentagon Jr breaks up his cover from a superkick and nails him with a Package Piledriver.
Mascarita Sagrada's turn now and he gets a sunset flip, broken up by Prince Puma. Puma launches Sagrada overhead, and he free-falls ribs first into Puma's boot. Puma's cover gets broken up by Big Ryck, but Puma avoids a chokeslam. Big Ryck is kicked from all angles and all Luchadores, sending him down to his knees and out of the ring. King Cuerno turns his attention back to Drago, sending him out of the ring. Cuerno follows with a tope through the ropes! El Mariachi Loco and Super Fly hit stereo somersault sentons over the top before Pentagon Jr hits one of his own off the top turnbuckle. Son of Havoc does fly this time hitting a cartwheel into a somersault senton and getting a fist bump from Danny Trejo. Mascarita Sagrada picks Pentagon Jr from the crowd, diving off the top and catching him with a hurricanrana!
Fenix, Puma and Ryck are left in the ring, Ryck ducks a kick by Fenix but gets hit in the jaw with a second, Fenix is clocked by a kick from Puma, but blocks a second. He runs up the ropes hitting a tornado DDT. Fenix covers, 1, 2 no! Fenix brings Puma to his feet in a dragon sleeper and lifts him on his shoulder. Fenix sits out with a piledriver! Fenix covers for the victory.
WINNER: FENIX
A lot of matches get called “balls to the wall action” but that one really was. Every moment Ryck was a part of he looked like a dominant monster, the star players got to look awesome (even though that easily covered half of the field, they all got time to shine) and Fenix got a well-deserved win with an awesome move. WORKRATE: 3.5/5 PERSONAL ENJOYMENT 4/5 OVERALL: 7.5/10
Fenix celebrates as the fans chant for the awesome match.
