I like the idea of a $100,000 Tournament. We know that it's realistic since Dario Cueto did something similar in real life, but you set up a cool twist on it. Big stipulation put in for Chavo Guerrero. I see him making it far but losing, only to find a way to get his job back. Drago is awesome so cool to see him get the win. Son of Havoc and Ivelisse continue their issues with Sexy Star. The mystery opponent thing for Prince Puma is cool. Chavo over Blue Demon Jr. was expected. The ego comments made me feel like Alberto El Patron we heel but the handshake made me think both guys were faces. Either way, intriguing choice to go with the draw. Damn, that is a big time main event. Fenix and Johnny Mundo are two of my favorite LU performers. A good episode here, with emphasis on the well known guys while sprinkling in Drago and Fenix, etc. I'm really liking this so far.

$100,000 tournament sounds cool - it fills the void you have at the moment with the lack of a title and gives your entire roster direction. I also think the way you're building Puma is excellent. His having to face mystery opponents each week elevates him and gives him the image of a guy who has to beat the odds, something and someone which fans will invest in. I'd love to see more backstage angles/vignettes/promos, etc.
I'm not familiar at all with LU or most of the talent, but the way you book and present your shows is great, and the talent I am familiar shows me that you have a lot of potential here. Mundo, Chavo, Alberto, Blue Demon, Ryck and Puma. You have the foundations of a great promotion and I hope to see this continue.

I've never really seen much of Lucha Underground, maybe because it is... Underground. Hardy har, so funny. Anyway, moving on to the actual show and seeing what you've got. Chavo Guerrero could be terminated for not living up to his name, eh? Maybe he should start to lie, cheat and steal. M-Dogg 20! Gets the loss to Drago thanks to some bitches fighting. Issues for M-Dogg. There we go, Chavo, actually getting a victory and he does LCS for the victory. Nice to see that from him, he could play a desperation character well. Alberto Del Petron and Big Ryck/Ezekiel Jackson going to a time limit draw was interesting. Next week? Perhaps we have a rematch on the horizon. Lastly, the former John Morrison/Johnny Nitro now Johnny Mundo gets a win over Fenix and good to see him get the victory. Some solid stuff here, interested to see where you take things going forward.

Episode 004 Demonios en el Temple
The show opens with Dario Cueto speaking to Konnan and Prince Puma from behind his giant mahogany desk. The two are informed that the last $100,000 Tournament Quartefinal will be Prince Puma versus Mil Muertes.
Match 1 Drago (1-0-0) versus Chavo Guerrero (1-0-2) As we enter the final episode of the first month of Lucha Underground we find ourselves in a very technical bout to kick of the show. Both competitors came into the match running on their desire to advance in the tournament towards a $100,000 bonus. Drago continued to fight on and continue his undefeated streak, albeit still in its infancy. His opponent, Chavo Guerrero fought passionately to ensure the security of his Lucha Underground career. As the fight went on Drago's momentum began to build, but the cunning of a Guerrero coupled with the desperation of Chavo's situation led him to resort to an illegal low blow out of the referee's sight to even the odds. At that point the match was all but over, as Chavo hit his signature frog splash to earn the win. Chavo Guerrero (2-0-2) defeated Drago (1-0-1) via pinfall in 7:01
Could this have been a delay of the inevitable for Chavo Guerrero, or a glimmer of hope for a bright future in Lucha Underground? That question would have to be answered at a later date, as we await the latino legend's opponent in the finals of the $100,000 tournament.
Backstage, in a dimly lit room, Big Ryck is preparing for another shot at Alberto El Patron later on tonight. After immigrating from the small nation of Guyana with his family at a young age, he has been training all his life to get a shot at being one of the world's best fighters. This match tonight was his best shot at glory and fame, but it was against one of Lucha's biggest stars.
Match 2 Grudge Match Sexy Star (1-0-1) versus Son of Havoc (0-0-2) With vengeance that has built up for an entire month and his girlfriend, Ivelisse, in his corner, Son of Havoc looked to end this feud once and for all. Sexy Star, however, had other plans. The match itself reflected the events that had taken place over the course of the last four weeks, as both competitors were relentless with their offenses. Both of them showed determination, aggression, and heart in an open, hard fought two-person war within the Aztec Temple. In the end, the pure strength and size advantage Son of Havoc had over Sexy Star proved to be the difference. A sly trip by Ivelisse on Sexy Star as she was running the ropes was the catalyst that allowed for Son of Havoc's onslaught of offense that eventually was the end of this match. Son of Havoc (1-0-2) defeated Sexy Star (1-0-2) via pinfall in 6:55
You would think that all would be restored after Son of Havoc got his first victory in Lucha Underground in a decisive fashion over his biggest rival, but that just was not enough. Sexy Star was subject to a brutal assault after the match that was met with angry boos from the crowd. Amidst those boos and jeers we saw Ivelisse celebrating with her boyfriend while their victim was taken away on a stretcher.
Backstage we see a video package of Matt Striker's interview with Johnny Mundo. The two discussed the current state of Lucha Underground and their paths to get here, but things became tense when Prince Puma was brought up. Although the two were yet to meet in the Temple, it was abundantly clear that at some point these two were going to cross paths, especially if Konnan's protege can defeat his mystery opponent later tonight.
Match 3 Fenix (0-0-2) versus King Cuerno (0-0-0) An unfortunate debut for King Cuerno as the frustrated Fenix was looking to bounce back after losing on his debut and in the opening round of the $100,000 tournament. Both competitors provided an entertaining, offensive match for the fans in the Temple that lasted for almost ten minutes. Both men used a wide array of offensive maneuvers such as crossbodies, arm drags, hurricanranas, and many more to try and put away their opponent. In the end, King Cuerno's physical advantage was enough to gain a victory on his debut. King Cuerno (1-0-0) defeated Fenix (0-0-3) via pinfall 9:20
Chavo Guerrero reported backstage to the office of Dario Cueto to receive congratulations on reaching the finals. It was clear that the tension had all but subsided for Chavo. He knew that Cueto was serious about removing him from Lucha Underground if he can not defeat his next opponent.
Match 4 Grudge Match 20-Minute Time Limit Alberto El Patron (1-1-0) versus Big Ryck (0-1-0) The two big men meet again inside a Lucha Underground ring in what is guaranteed to be a major brawl. The initial bell signaled the beginning of the fastest paced match either of these men have been involved in. Even with the extended time limit both men wasted no time getting to work with their offense. Alberto El Patron was sure to avoid being out-strengthed by the bigger man; and tried his best to incorporate offensive maneuvers to target the arm of his opponent. Although seemingly not in control for a good portion of the match, Big Ryck fought back with crushing blows and devastating powerslams to create the largest physical toll possible. The time limit was not going to be an issue in this match as it ended after thirteen minutes when Big Ryck clotheslined El Patron hard on the apron. Big Ryck (1-1-0) defeated Alberto El Patron (1-1-1) via pinfall in 13:22
At the commentary booth Konnan anxiously awaited the man who would meet his client Prince Puma in the quarterfinal of the $100,000 tournament. The answer that Dario Cueto gave earlier in the night was not one anyone wanted to hear. To everyone's surprise Mil Muertes made his Lucha Underground debut as the commissioner's handpicked opponent for one of the fastest rising stars in the company.
Match 5 $100,000 Tournament Quarterfinal Prince Puma (2-0-0) versus Mil Muertes (0-0-0) What a shock this was! The 6'1", 250 pound masked luchadore from beyond the grave makes his debut in Lucha Underground. Prince Puma had quite the mountain to climb with a man who's far larger and stronger than him. Lucha Underground's hottest new star is going to have to use his pure speed to avoid Mil Muertes utilizing his near 100 pound advantage. Konnan's strategy must have paid off as Prince Puma did an excellent job of cutting Mil Muertes down to size. Throughout the match Puma built momentum, although it was sporadically interrupted by thunderous blows from Mil Muertes whenever possible. In the end, the demon's debut was spoiled when Prince Puma dove off the top rope to hit Muertes with a bulldog. Prince Puma (3-0-0) defeated Mil Muertes (0-0-1) via pinfall in 10:39
The show ended with Konnan and Prince Puma celebrating the continuation of what could be a lengthy winning streak in Lucha Underground.

I haven't seen any Lucha Underground but I don't need to.
Can't comment on this to much yet as your just kicking off but it does look very promising. Early days are all about building a roster and a identity. Think you doing a decent job at that.
You got a nice roster, well keep an eye on this more in the future and hope to see it grow.
Also the look of your diary is very smart and different to most others. Keep it up.

Episode 005 El Dinero y La Fama
We kick off the most recent edition of Lucha Underground with a lucha libre legend, Blue Demon Jr., in the ring preparing to face off with Pentagon Jr.
Match 1 Pentagon Jr. (0-0-1) versus Blue Demon Jr. (1-0-1) The fifth episode of Lucha Underground kicked off with a classic old versus new matchup. The legendary Blue Demon Jr. faced off against the demonic rudo, Pentagon Jr., who was determined to grab his first win tonight. Unfortunate for the legend, Pentagon Jr. was on a mission to beat Blue Demon Jr. and jump start his Lucha Underground career. The style of offense presented by Pentagon Jr. was one of a classic rudo, designed to target the lower back of his opponent. Pentagon Jr. did everything he could to damage the lower back of Blue Demon Jr., debilitating him. The match, after only six minutes, ended with a backbreaker that very well could've snapped Blue Demon Jr. in half. Pentagon Jr. (1-0-1) defeated Blue Demon Jr. (1-0-2) via pinfall in 6:02
It was clear that Pentagon Jr. has proven to the Lucha Underground fans that he was a force to be reckoned with, but it seemed he still was not satisfied. A relentless assault occurred on Blue Demon Jr. that included being rammed into the steel ring post.
We cut away from the violent attack occurring at ringside to a clip of an interview with Chavo Guerrero. In the interview he reveals to us his struggle over the past few weeks to keep focused on the $100,000 Tournament that he is a finalist in. "I may have gotten this far, but every match could be my last in Lucha Underground" Chavo said. "I have to stay focused, but it's difficult when you're this close to possibly the biggest match of your life."
When we returned at ringside we found Son of Havoc in the ring with his girlfriend, Ivelisse. Much to the crowds dismay, the masked luchadore informs us that his attack on Sexy Star will keep her sidelined for awhile. The pair, ironically, cut a promo on how they will not be disrespected in Lucha Underground while struggling to hear even themselves over the boos and jeers of the crowd.
Match 2 Son of Havoc (1-0-2) versus Super Fly (0-0-0) In an attempt to prove his worth, Son of Havoc challenged a new superstar in Lucha Underground, Super Fly, to face him in his debut. Both men came into this match with strong motivations to grab this win, making for a great competition. Son of Havoc was looking to give his run in Lucha Underground without the thorn in his side that was Sexy Star; Super Fly was coming into this match to entertain fans and make a name for himself in the United States. As we saw in his last match, Son of Havoc's girlfriend, Ivelisse, is the great equalizer. Super Fly fought back well, but once he had gained enough momentum Ivelisse saw to it that he 'slip' off the top rope and allow Son of Havoc to grab the victory. Son of Havoc (2-0-2) defeated Super Fly (0-0-1) via pinfall in 7:44
A graphic is shown advertising that the winner of tonight's main event between Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo will face Chavo Guerrero next week for a $100,000 bonus and Lucha Libre glory.
Match 3 Drago (1-0-1) versus Fenix (0-0-3) versus King Cuerno (1-0-0) Our co-main event of the evening was a historic one, as the three competitors were involved in the first ever Lucha Underground match containing more than two people. Each competitor brought their own unique style of offense to the match. Fenix brought us a high flying attack that was fueled by the frustration of his three loss losing streak in Lucha Underground. Fenix would not be getting his first ever win if there was anything King Cuerno could say about it. Cuerno was able to negate the offense of Fenix by using his 50+ pound size advantage to keep him on the mat. Drago proved to be the wildcard in the match, bringing an attack that mixed the technical with the high flying. Although he seemed to be the favorite to win throughout the bout, Cuerno suffered his first loss after Drago grabbed a pin off of a beaten Fenix. Drago (2-0-1) defeated Fenix (0-0-4) and King Cuerno (1-0-1) via pinfall in 12:30
A video package played highlighting the assault of Son of Havoc and Ivelisse on Sexy Star last week. After the highlights ended we saw footage of the victim's admission into the local hospital for treatment.
Match 4 $100,000 Tournament Semifinal Prince Puma (3-0-0) versus Johnny Mundo (2-0-0) The match we've been waiting for! The two hottest stars in Lucha Underground at the moment finally square off to earn a shot at $100,000. Konnan declined offers from the commentary team to join them on the mic for this match, as he felt it necessary to be in the corner of Prince Puma. The fans were firmly behind Johnny Mundo in this match and he clearly fed off of their support throughout. This match was easily the most open and eventful match in the short history of Lucha Underground. These men fought within the squared circle, at ringside, and throughout the temple. It seemed certain that Mundo had it won when he hit an impressive shooting star press off the apron and onto the floor, but the fight was not gone from Prince Puma. After a series of pinfall attempts and submission holds it became clear that this match would require something special from the competitors if they hoped to win. This came in the form of a release German suplex from the top turnbuckle that left Mundo a broken mess in the center of the ring. Prince Puma (4-0-0) defeated Johnny Mundo (2-0-1) via pinfall in 18:22
Lucha Underground's fifth episode ended with Konnan helping his client stagger away from the unconscious Johnny Mundo laying in the ring. Can Prince Puma recover in time for his big match next week? Can Chavo Guerrero take advantage of what is likely to be an opponent at less than one hundred percent?

I love the inclusion of the $100,000 Tournament as it not only fits in with Dario Cuerto's character but it also gives the roster something to fight over right off the bat as opposed to introducing a title in the first episode. Blue Demon, Jr. on your roster is cool as he's someone I'm surprised hasn't worked for Lucha Underground in real life. I was quite surprised to see Pentagon, Jr. go over Demon here but I'm not complaining. I love the pairing of Son of Havoc/Ivelisse so I'm stoked to see that you've maintained them here. Huge main event. I was half expecting you to have the finals of the tournament be Mundo/Puma. Chavo/Puma is a solid tournament finals, though given that Chavo is an established name and so if Puma goes over (which I'm expecting) then it gives him a big rub going over Chavo. Next week's show looks like it should be a good one. Looking forward to hearing what Alberto has to say about his loss to Big Ryck--which really caught me by surprise. I liked Ryck going over, though, as it makes things alot more unpredictable when the established names are taking losses, such as Blue Demon, Jr. in episode 5. Overall, this has tons of potential. You're doing a good job in booking it thus far and I like the additions that you've made to the roster. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you have planned for Mil Muertes. It was a nice change for you to have him lose his debut match as opposed to giving him the winning streak that he did in reality. Bit bummed about no Catrina since I feel like she works well with his character but oh well. Excellent stuff overall. Can't wait for more and to see what you have planned for the long-term here.

Lu-cha! Lu-cha! Lu-cha Underground! Pentagon Jr. getting a big win over the veteran Blue Demon Jr. was cool for him, I like his ruthlessness and lack of giving a sh*t for Demon's veteran status. Chavito Heat is a desperate man. Son of Havoc is a bitch. Damn Matt Cross. I dug the promo and Son of Havoc's victory over Super Fly, keeps him winning as a scumbag heel. Winner of Prince Puma versus Johnny Mundo gets Chavo next week and I have a feeling Mundo will win. Fenix hasn't won a match yet? Turrible. Drago getting the win was fine. Whoa, surprised by the main event with Prince Puma getting the win but I'm alright with it, I suppose. A good main event and I'm not sure who will win next week. Looking forward to what is to come.

Lucha Underground: Wednesday 12th November 2014...So, we have the beginning of the $100,000 tournament, which could be very useful in building or establishing greedy characters involved in the tournament - it could also establish Dario Cueto's character as a definitive heel as opposed to showing blurred lines in face and heel tendencies. In Dario's case, I think he is much better cast as a heel as opposed to a babyface. How grateful is Dario of Chavo Guerrero's legacy? Nice guy entering him in the tournament...or he's FIRED. I wonder where you will go with this, as I hope he doesn't end up winning the tournament making this very predictable. Nice to see Drago in his first outing - although I would have liked to see more information about who Drago is. Like I said the other week, look at what I did with my NXT character profiles; they are so useful for those who don't follow Lucha Underground. It doesn't take a lot of work, either. It could stylise your diary really nicely. I suspected Son of Havoc to eat another loss, so this was a good decision. Meanwhile Sexy Star and Ivelisse is here to get their angle across as well, which is nice. A women's Lucha division would be pretty cool and innovative to see in this promotion. Konnan had to demand Prince Puma get enterd? I'm not sure how to take this: could we see an eventual Konnan heel turn? It may have just been the way you worded this though - it's kind of confusing to not see Puma even entered in the first place, let alone be added at the last minute via backstage segment. Wow, so it begins: Chavo Guerrero beats Blue Demon Jr; expected since Demon is a lot older: but I do hope Chavo doesn't win the tournament to make this whole tournament look like it was all about getting Chavo establishment. It did give him some initial momentum for the first time in this promotion though, so that's always good for him. I wonder how you present the Son of Havoc losing streak moving forward: that could be very interesting, to be honest. Wow, very interesting decision by having Big Ryck and Alberto El Patron fight to a time limit draw: I would have maybe had it main event Lucha Underground - normally I wouldn't say that, but Lucha Underground with its' production value, they could make it seem genuinely compelling with a dramatic conclusion. That aside - it's not like this was even a tournament match, taking away from El Patron's Aristocrat character strangely. And I don't think I'd like to see El Patron and Ryck work a fifteen minute match. Maybe ten minutes, tops. The inconsistent time limit is a problem too, since the main event last week went longer than fifteen minutes. And lastly, Fenix eats his second defeat (hopefully next week is his chance to get some momentum back) whereas Johnny Mundo advances. That would be a good main event - and I think Mundo should be one of your top stars this early in the game. Overall, this was a mixed bag show in my eyes. I enjoyed it, but you have a problem with the lack of establishment among your roster. You've established slight story arcs for Prince Puma, Chavo Guerrero, Dario Cueto and Son of Havoc - although elsewhere, nobody really has a persona. We need to see more El Patron, more about Big Ryck, more about Fenix, Blue Demon Jr, Pentagon Jr and the other Mexican talents. Work on that, and it would be very beneficial - and I think you should enforce this as soon as possible, since it's the promotion's early days.
Lucha Underground: Wednesday 19th November 2014...Dario Cueto is a nice guy, he finally lets Konnan know who Prince Puma's opponent will be: what's with that? I thought this gimmick would be that Puma's opponent would be anonymous until he was in the ring? Strange decision, but it's a fine sting to open the show. And Mil Muertez is a guy to build around...this announcement would have been made a lot more dramatic had the audience known or been introduced to Muertes in advance, to be honest. That's why character profiles are very helpful, and to viewers watching this segment, a lot of them may not know who Muertes is. Chavo Guerrero gets himself another win - making his previous losing streak seem nonexistent. I think a few more losses would have helped his character, and made the contract termination tagline to Chavo's character seem more important. But, the tournament happened, so I understand I suppose why that wasn't emphasised more. Drago still needs to prove himself, but Chavo's the more known of the two, so this was fine. Good to see a feature on Big Ryck, which is very well timed with his climaxing angle with Alberto El Patron tonight. Son of Havoc picking up a win? Well, I didn't see that coming. I'm surprised, but it makes sense with Ivelisse in Havoc's corner; although I wonder where this takes Son of Havoc more than it progresses the Sexy Star and Ivelisse storyline. I personally think this needs more flavour than wins, losses and distractions, though. Oh and catfights. Wait, so a beatdown of stomps by Son of Havoc and Ivelisse led to Sexy Star being taken out on a stretcher? Not so great for a woman who has been known to do insane things...not sold on that tidbit. Johnny Mundo's character was established more, and it seems like you will be building to Mundo and Prince Puma in the future...possibly telegraphing the finals of the $100,000 tournament? King Cuerno defeating Fenix made sense in what would be a fun match. Good debut by Cuerno, although surely if Fenix has lost three times, Dario Cueto should have the right to threaten contract termination, much like Chavo Guerrero after he lost twice? It's little inconsistent things like this that are worth covering up. Oh wait, Chavo and Drago was a semi-final match? This wasn't made clear earlier, albeit a mention or two. Meanwhile, Alberto El Patron finally picks up a win against Big Ryck which was fine - but thirteen minutes this time? I also feel like this should have main evented the show, given its' build after last week's dramatic conclusion. That and it's two WWE alumnus who even the most casual viewer watching this show would know who they are. And despite the promotion in advance for Prince Puma's match with Mil Muertes in the quarter-final round of the $100,000 tournament, I don't think it had as much importance as the winner of Ryck and El Patron's second encounter. And lastly, Prince Puma with another win against the debuting Mil Muertes: this would have been a fun clash of styles, but I think Muertes should have been made to look stronger, even with a disqualification or count-out win or something of that magnitude. Muertes will hopefully be rebuilt nonetheless. Another decent show here, but I can't stress enough the importance of continuity, consistency and character development. Keep those in mind, even when it's the littlest of things. I've been nitpicking to help you improve, and this is a decent read so far. But to make it go the extra mile, think about everything - match ordering is another nitpick.

Episode 006 La Locura Continua
We opened up on the Temple with Alberto El Patron standing in the center of the ring with tape around his lower body. After a week off the fans of Lucha Underground finally get to hear the fallout from loss one week ago versus Big Ryck. We were reminded by our announce team about the thunderous clothesline onto the apron suffered by El Patron was the reason for his absence on last week's episode. Alberto preaches to the fans in the Temple that although he failed to get the victory, he still deserves another shot at the Guyanese monster. Fortunately for us, Dario Cueto appeared to inform Alberto that if he wants a shot at Big Ryck he'll have to win his match tonight versus Hernandez.
Match 1 Drago (2-0-1) versus Pentagon Jr. (1-0-1) The shows first opening match is an intriguing one, as one of Lucha Underground's hottest new performers goes up against one of it's most dangerous. The momentum of Pentagon Jr. continued with a brutal assault towards the end of his match. Drago gave us a valiant effort, but in the end the rage of Pentagon Jr. persisted. Just as we saw last week, the match ended with a devastating maneuver; this time in the form of a piledriver in the center of the ring. Pentagon Jr. (2-0-1) defeated Drago (2-0-2) via pinfall in 7:11
In the locker room Johnny Mundo was seen looking still irritated about losing to Prince Puma one week ago. With his ribs taped, it seemed clear Mundo was not yet back to fighting condition.
In his office, Dario Cueto speaks with Sexy Star, who is still in the healing process from a concussion she suffered at the hands of Son of Havoc. What the discussion revealed to us was that the time frame for Sexy Star's return was set the day after the attack at one month, meaning she will still be sitting out the next week or two. Cueto revealed some sympathy for Sexy Star, and let her know that her determination is sure to carry her back into the ring as soon as possible.
Match 2 Son of Havoc (2-0-2) versus Cortez Castro (0-0-0) The hot streak of Son of Havoc begins to take shape as he and his girlfriend, Ivelisse, spoiled the debut of Cortez Castro. It was clear that Castro was the better brawler, but Son of Havoc was not losing this match. Without Sexy Star around for the next few weeks Son of Havoc seemed determined to make up the lost ground. This time, Son of Havoc did not utilize his girlfriend at ringside to earn the win, but slipped in a low blow out of view of the ref in order to ensure the pinfall Son of Havoc (3-0-2) defeated Cortez Castro (0-0-1) via pinfall in 6:49
We're shown video of an unattended parking lot where Chavo Guerreo is standing across from Konnan. A rift was created when Konnan suggested that Chavo has not lived up to the family name.
We return to the smoke filled office of Dario Cueto to find our owner meeting with Son of Havoc and Ivelisse. The power couple were quick to reveal to Cueto their true intentions by asking for a match that could propel them to the top of Lucha Underground. Cueto seemed irritated by the audacity of Son of Havoc to make demands such as this, but the idea intrigued him. "It is done. Son of Havoc will face the winner of Prince Puma versus Johnny Mundo in two weeks time."
Match 3 Alberto El Patron (1-1-1) versus Hernandez (0-0-1) As said earlier tonight, if Alberto El Patron loses tonight he will not have his chance to redeem himself versus Big Ryck after his loss two weeks ago. None of this mattered to Hernandez as he was still searching for his first victory in Lucha Underground after one month's hiatus. Both men stood tall in the Lucha Underground ring, as both had something to prove. No luchadore wants to lose so early on in their career, let alone at all. A loss in Lucha Underground will really knock you down the ladder and could be the end of a career for some. These men knew this as nothing was held back. The up tempo assault from El Patron left our color commentator, Matt Striker, wondering about what could lie ahead. "If Alberto El Patron leaves this match victorious, how is he going to have anything left for Big Ryck next week?" It was clear that El Patron was not planning to far ahead, as he put his body on the line with a gutwrench suplex from the top rope that could've killed both men. Alberto El Patron (2-1-1) defeated Hernandez (0-0-2) via pinfall in 9:12
Once again in the office of Dario Cueto we seem to be seeing a meeting in progress with Fenix. "So you believe after your losing streak that you can stop Pentagon Jr.? Fine, but when you lose there will be no rematch."
In an infirmary somewhere Hernandez's treatment is interrupted by one of Lucha Underground's newest luchadores, Cortez Castro. Lucha Underground history was made that moment as Castro accepted an offer from Hernandez to form Lucha Underground's first tag team. With just a handshake a new, powerful force was born to look out for in The Temple.
Match 4 $100,000 Tournament Final Prince Puma (4-0-0) versus Chavo Guerrero (2-0-2) Arguably the biggest match of Lucha Underground's short history is finally here, and there is no better way to do it. Lucha's biggest new star in Prince Puma led into battle by his manager Konnan versus a legend from Mexico's biggest and best wrestling family, Chavo Guerrero. Last week we saw a war condensed into eighteen minutes in the form of Prince Puma versus Johnny Mundo. The Lucha Underground fans were not the only ones watching as Chavo went straight to work on the back of Puma that is definitely still injured from the thunderous German Suplex off the top rope one week ago. While Chavo was aggressive in his attack, he was still well aware of Konnan at ringside. It is not unlikely to think that Konnan would use some of his old underhanded tactics to keep his protege's win streak alive and become one hundred thousand dollars richer. Prince Puma did not appear to be one hundred percent, but he still gave it all he had. It seemed the torch was ready to be passed as Prince Puma was able to secure his fifth victory with a springboard tornado DDT off the second rope. Prince Puma (5-0-0) defeated Chavo Guerrero (2-0-3) via pinfall in 15:33
As one luchadores career was propelled into to new heights, another's met a new low. Emotions boiled over as Dario Cueto's presentation of the $100,000 prize was interrupted by Chavo Guerrero. Armed with a steel chair, the frustrated luchadore assaulted both Konnan and Prince Puma with vicious strikes that aimed to do as much damage as possible.
The sixth installment of Lucha Underground came to a close with Chavo Guerrero surveying the wreckage he has left in the ring. Will this truly be the last we see of him, or is he out for blood?

I liked Alberto taking the week off last week as it really makes Big Ryck look like a beast, sidelining Patron. What is going on in the Temple haha that's 3 segments in a row with 3 injured stars. I love the pairing of Son of Havoc and Ivelisse so I'm glad you're using them both regularly. I wonder if Sexy Star will bring someone with her upon her return to even the odds in her, no doubt, feud with Son of Havoc and Ivelisse. Ugh, Chavo Guerrero is so boring but I can totally understand why you're using him as he is star power. Expected Patron to go over Hernandez here in order to get his rematch but I really liked the note of Patron sacrificing himself pretty much to get the win. A Hernandez/Cortez team could be sweet. The finals of this tournament really make sense and is good booking. Puma going over Guerrero gives him a huge rub. Puma was definitely the right man to win this tournament here as he is pretty much the face of Lucha Underground. I can definitely see Chavo sticking around given what went down post-match.
I'm looking forward to what you've got planned next and when you plan on introducing the Lucha Underground Championship now that the 100k tournament is over.

After his week off, Alberto El Patron starts things off in this show, which was a good touch to make Big Ryck look good. Alberto has to beat Hernandez to get his hands on Ryck again, eh? Sounds fine to me. Pentagon Jr. getting a win over Drago was what it was. Piledrivers seem so sick now. Johnny Mundo not back in fighting condition. Boo, we want mundo Mundo. Sexy Star is hurt too... A lot of people are injured, aren't they? Good transition right in to Son of Havoc geting the obvious victory over lowly Cortez Castro. Chavo Guerrero being told by Konnan he hasn't lived up to his family name? Ouch. Son of Havoc faces thew inner of Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo... sounds interesting to me. Looking forward to it even though I don't know who he'll end up facing. Probably Puma, if I had to venture a guess. Alberto El Patron was obviously going to beat Hernandez in order to get his match with Big Ryck, but he took a beating against a beast-boss like Hernandez... definitely gives a bit of an advantage for Big Ryck but I feel like Alberto will get his win. Lastly, we get the main event with Prince Puma beating Chavo Guerrero was good, but I loved the aftermath with Chavo going full-fledge heel style with a chair on everyone. Definitely adds to him. I always felt that he could be like Eddie in the minor-league scene, just not on the WWE map. Looking forward to what comes next.

Episode six time! I can't recall if Lucha Underground bills Big Ryck as Guyanese, but it's cool. Even if you didn't intend to do so, it give him kind of an exotic vibe, which works here. Pentagon Jr. is pretty cool, so glad to see him get a win here. I think it would be cool to see them work a series of matches. Lots of taped ribs in LU huh? Good to see Son of Havoc win without Ivelisse. I'm curious if you're eventually going to go the Angelico route. The tag match does indeed intrigue me. Hernandez is a good guy to have around, and I like the win for Alberto El Patron. Billing the Finals as the biggest match in Lucha Underground history so far is wise. Prince Puma is being built as the top guy, which is great. I'd love him to be the first Champion like in real life, but this is a great for now. Another good episode. I like how you've booked this to be different from real LU, but still similar and realistic.

Sweet promo to open things up. Felt realistic and like the type of thing Dario would make him do.
- Nice to see Pentagon get the win, even if I am a big Drago fan. You're building up the psycho gimmick well.
- Lul at Cueto trying to get a slice of Sexy Star. Seemed a little out of character for him, but it's just one segment.
- Havoc was the right guy imo. Also seemed realistic.
- Shots fired by Konnad.
- Havoc in the main event? I love it.
- Hernandez is an underrated worker and good guy to have on your roster. Being such a big guy, it give guys who defeat him a pretty big rub.
- I love Fenix and I hope he beats Pentagon, even though I love Pentagon.
- Castro and Hernandez? Sweet.
- The $100,000 tournament is a good idea since it gives the whole sim direction and something for your superstars to fight for. Puma was the right winner imo, but it's sad to see Chavo lose.
- I hope this means you're pushing Chavo.
Overall, a really enjoyable episode, and I'm hype for episode 6.

Episode 007 Detener La Locura
Match 1 Cortez Castro (0-0-1) versus King Cuerno (1-0-1) While King Cuerno was far more technically sound than Cortez Castro, it seemed that one of Lucha Underground's newest luchadores had the cards stacked in his favor. Previously on Lucha Underground we saw Castro agree to join forces with Hernandez and it appeared to be a great move for now. When it began to look like King Cuerno would pull out the victory, Hernandez interfered to hand his new partner his first win. Cortez Castro (1-0-1) defeated King Cuerno (1-0-2) via pinfall in 7:11
Backstage Konnan was talking to his wounded protege, Prince Puma, about the events that occurred at the hands of Chavo Guerrero last week. Eventually, Dario Cueto interrupted to deliver not only the $100,000 that was won last week, but the news that the Lucha Underground doctors have advised Prince Puma to sit out until the Christmas Eve episode, "Coronar un Campeon."
Match 2 Son of Havoc (3-0-2) and Ivelisse (1-0-0) versus Jack Evans (0-0-0) and Angelico (0-0-0) Last week we saw the creation of Lucha Underground's first tag team, but tonight two pairs of luchadores with team up to compete in Lucha Underground's first ever tag team match. Could Son of Havoc continue his winning streak by spoiling even more debuts, or can the AAA legends, Jack Evans and Angelico, team up to defeat Lucha Underground's first power couple? Although we've seen Son of Havoc compete in Lucha Underground on five separate occasions, you still have to wonder how he will fair when the match is on a level playing field. For weeks we have seen his girlfriend, Ivelisse, has been at ringside to tip the odds in his favor, but now the two of them have to square off with two of Lucha Underground's most fast paced luchadores. This match really put Son of Havoc and Ivelisse to the test as the two debuting superstars were in their face all night long. Son of Havoc was left doing most of the heavy lifting while Ivelisse did her best to hold her own while Son of Havoc recovered. Frustrations and anxiety built up over the course of the match, and that led to some desperation from Son of Havoc and Ivelisse. While Son of Havoc distracted the referee with an illegal hold, Ivelisse struck Jack Evans with a steel chair. This allowed Angelico to be isolated and eventually succumb to the insurmountable odds. Son of Havoc (4-0-2) and Ivelisse (2-0-0) defeated Jack Evans (0-0-1) and Angelico (0-0-1) via pinfall in 8:30
In an abandoned building somewhere in southern California, the team of Hernandez and Cortez Castro await the arrival of someone. That someone was soon to be revealed as Chavo Guerrero, who was ready to strike a deal. The proposition was made that if the two of them could help steal the $100,000 prize Chavo feels he rightfully deserves, they could split it three ways. A few handshakes were exchanged and just like that, the newest force in Lucha Underground added a legend.
Match 3 Pentagon Jr. (2-0-1) versus Fenix (0-0-4) After a month long losing streak Fenix convinced Dario Cueto to give him a shot at stopping his brother's reign of terror. Fortunately for Fenix, Pentagon Jr. was too preoccupied with assaulting the our color commentator, Matt Striker, than focusing on the match ahead. Pentagon Jr. (2-0-1) went to a No-Contest with Fenix (0-0-4)
Fenix emerged to help Matt Striker fight off his demonic brother's attack. Pentagon Jr. was hell bent on destroying someone new every time he entered The Temple. In a desperate attempt at stopping the madness, Fenix was caught mid-hurricanrana by Penatgon, and received a terrible powerbomb through the announcer's table.
The results of Johnny Mundo's meeting with Lucha Underground medical professionals was revealed to us when he met face to face with Dario Cueto. The news came down that Mundo was suffering from bruised ribs and was advised to stay out of the wrestling ring until the end of the calendar year, roughly three more weeks. Cueto was obviously upset to hear that one of his greatest stars will be injured for so long, but promised him a great opportunity when he returns.
Match 4 Alberto El Patron (2-1-1) versus Big Ryck (1-1-0) Alberto El Patron started this match with a horrible disadvantage, and when you're facing a monster like Big Ryck any disadvantage is the last thing you want. Regardless of his condition, El Patron gave Big Ryck everything he had. Mexico's greatest technician may have been able to keep working on limbs of Big Ryck, but with his injuries he just could not withstand the brute force offense of the Guyanese monster. Between the powerbombs, spinebusters, and powerslams, El Patron's ribs may not survived the match. Signs of life were shown towards the end when El Patron secured an armbar, but Ryck was able to use his brute strength to dead lift him into a deafening slam. Big Ryck (2-1-0) defeated Alberto El Patron (2-1-2) via pinfall in 7:09
Out into The Temple stepped Dario Cueto to confront Big Ryck. "Congratulations on your victory tonight. I've been really impressed with your recent matches here in Lucha Underground, and have decided to reward you with an opportunity to fight for the grandest prize in the company." Cueto lifted up a golden plated belt with a centerpiece that represented the ancient Aztec history that this company has been based around. The only question is, with Prince Puma suffering from injury, who will Big Ryck face for the Lucha Underground Championship?
