LU (SUN) 02/08/2015 Lucha Underground Temple, Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, California
1) Big Ryck, Killshot, the Mack b Pentagón Jr., Sexy Star, Súper Fly [LU TRIOS, torneo] * Lucha Underground: The Trios Tournament Begins - FULL MATCH (posted by El Rey Network)
A redo of the match from Saturday, for the 04/01 taping. Super Fly was back in his mask, and the announcers were back in their clothes for that day. Pentagon did the same promo prior to the match about not wanting his partners but winning himself. The match itself was new. The spot where Pentagon backed down from Ryck, and Mack/KS's tag finisher were gone. It's also not like they just removed them, this was an entirely different match - with the same outcome of Super Fly losing and Pentagon trying to break his arm with Sexy making the save. This replaced the usual dark match.
2) Cage, King Cuerno, Texano b Hernandez, Johnny Mundo, Prince Puma [LU TRIOS, torneo] *
Start of 04/22 episode, set up by the main event from the 04/15 show. Davari (not introduced, probably has a new name) sat front row next to the entrance for all matches on the rest of the taping. He was well dressed - he's probably here as a wrestler, but he came off looking like a rich man the likes who could also buy the show. Davari would get up and look at wrestlers as they came thru (which went mostly unacknowledged) and violated the ban on no cell phone usage. Long match. Texano eventually lasso punched Mundo and Puma to set up the win for his team. No Puma/Hernandez issues, though Hernandez wasn't sure what happened with the finish. Dario Cueto appeared after the match to praise himself for putting these three monsters together. He declared he wanted a preview of the finals of the trios tournament (to take place 'next week'), a three way match between one member of each winning team. After the cameras turned off, the rudos agreed on Cage being their rep without any issue.
3) the Mack b Son of Havoc, Cage *
No other members of the teams were not at ringside. Havoc was the crowd favorite but it was Mack who got the win (on Havoc). In a separate segment following, Pentagon came to the ring and whispered something in Melissa Santos' ear. Melissa unhappily announced Pentagon's next victim was dedicated to Pentagon's mentor. Pentagon shockingly attacked Melissa - she was his next victim! Pentagon set up to break Melissa's arm when Sexy Star made the save and got Melissa to safety. Pentagon again said he was coming for Sexy Star next.
4) Drago b Aerostar * Lucha Underground 4/15/15: Aerostar vs Drago (Match 5 of 5) - FULL FIGHT (posted by El Rey Network)
Final of the best of 5. Dario said Melissa was shaken up, so he'd take over ring announcing and amused himself in doing so. Crowd was already a little burnt out early but got into the match by the end, especially after a couple of big spots. Both men were aggressive but neither was outright a rudo. Drago won with the Dragon's Tail cradle, taking the series 3-2. Drago & Aerostar made peace, shook hands, and hugged after the match. Aerostar left, and Dario came into the ring to praise Drago. He also explained the Unique Opportunity Drago had won: Drago gets a shot at Prince Puma and the Lucha Underground title - but if Drago loses, he is banished from the Temple and can never return. Drago had mixed emotions. End of 04/01 taping (ep 23).
5) Sexy Star b Pentagón Jr. *
Start of 04/08 episode. (Announcers always change clothes between episodes – Davari got a new shirt and a refill on his drink.) Announcers had all three trios belts on their announce desk. Melissa returned to announce this match, but had an ankle injury after Pentagon's attack and did not introduce Pentagon with any enthusiasm. She rooted for Sexy Star during the match. (The attack on her was also enough to get at least half the crowd to turn on Pentagon; he'd been pretty well cheered up to that point.) Pentagon nearly got Sexy Star in the arm breaking submission twice, but Sexy escaped to the ropes both times, then beat Pentagon clean to stop his run of violence. Pentagon was shocked and distraught to have let down his maestro.
6) Angélico, Ivelisse, Son of Havoc b Cage, King Cuerno, Texano and Big Ryck, Killshot, the Mack [LU TRIOS, torneo] *
Crazy three way match, with usually three people in but often more - the Cuerno team double teamed a lot and controlled the match early. The others rallied, and a series of dives knocked Texano into wiping out Davari, spilling Davari's drink everywhere. Davari was furious and destroyed Texano, including Texano being thrown into a section of seats. Texano was thrown back in and beat to eliminate his team. Cage and Cuerno were unhappy with Texano for getting beat. Ivelisse also hurt her ankle doing a silla off the apron on Big Ryck and thought about walking (limping) out when it was just down to two teams, but turned around and came back. After a sudden change of momentum, Angelico beat Killshot (IIRC).
7) Angélico, Ivelisse, Son of Havoc b Bael, Cortez Castro, Mr. Cisco [LU TRIOS, torneo] * Lucha Underground 4/22/15: Son of Havoc, Ivelisse & Angelico vs The Crew - FULL MATCH (posted by El Rey Network)
Dario congratulated the most dysfunctional trio on getting this far. Angelico motioned for the belts, but Dario revealed they had one more team to face, and it'd be no DQ just to make it interesting. Ivelisse and the referee protested she was too hurt to go on, but Dario ignored them and introduced the Crew. Cortez brought a Singapore cane which came into play during the match. The Crew destroyed the Havoc team in a brawl into the crowd for quite a while until the Havoc crew were able to make a comeback and beat the Crew to win in an epic match with Havoc and Angelico both getting the pinfall while Ivelisse held off the rest of the Crew. Angelico, Havoc, and Ivelisse still are not friends but worked well enough together to get the belts. End of 04/22 taping (ep 24)
