Lucha Underground
January 7, 2015
Dario Cueto kicked off tonight’s broadcast with the still un-awarded Lucha Underground Championship. The rules for tonight’s Aztec Warfare match are similar to the Royal Rumble, with guys (and girls) coming in at 90-second intervals, but with eliminations decided by pinfall and submission only.
AZTEC WARFARE
LUCHA UNDERGROUND CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Fenix and Johnny Mundo will start the match.
Cisco is the third entrant. Mundo hits him with the End of the World (Starship Pain) for the pinfall elimination. King Cuerno is out fourth, but Fenix flies off the ropes with a crazy dive to meet him. Son of Havoc and Pimpinela are five and six.
As the ring starts to fill up things turn into a more standard brawl. Prince Puma is out at seven and there’s a “mystery woman” sitting at ringside. I believe she’s actually Angela Fong. Ivelisse Valez is out at eight as Son of Havoc knocks off Pimpinela by pinfall. Six people left.
Drago rushes the ring at nine and hits a massive DDT on Fenix, then another on Johnny Mundo but only gets a two-count. King Cuerno eliminates Valez as we approach the 14-minute mark.
Bael comes out as the 10th man. Things are getting a bit crowded in the ring, so Prince Puma eliminates Son of Havoc for the first potentially “big” elimination of the match at the 15-minute mark.
