I thought I was actually going to get this recap done in a timely fashion, then I discovered that today is actually Thursday and my week is moving much faster than I'd realized.

Last week, King Cuerno continued his winning ways by taking out the debuting Super Fly. Chavo Guerrero handed Fenix his first loss. And Johnny Mundo, Prince Puma, and Big Ryck put on one of the greatest ladder matches of all time, with an assist from Cortez Castro, Mr. Cisco, and Bael. At the end, Johnny Mundo stood tall $100,000 richer, while Dario Cueto was left lying on his back.

This week, we skip the usual recap and rock music, instead opening with some old west-style acoustic guitar and go straight to the ring where we have ten men seemingly ready to do battle.

Big Ryck stands in the center of the ring, surrounded by Prince Puma, Drago, Mascarita Sagrada, Fenix, Super Fly, Son of Havok, Pentagon, King Cuerno, and a returning El Mariachi Loco, who apparently wasn't just a one time comedy jobber like I had suspected.

Vampiro informs us that Dario Cueto has invited these ten men down to the ring but nobody knows what's going on yet. Dario Cueto, wearing dark shades to hide his noticeably black eye, steps out of his office to inform us that there will be a pair of ten man matches tonight, with the winner of each being given a "unique opportunity". He informs us that this first match is a ten man, everyone for himself match, then calls for the bell.

Puma immediately goes after Big Ryck, followed by six other men jumping on the monster. The only two not involved are King Cuerno, he stays perched atop the turnbuckle, and Drago, who stares down Cuerno from the opposite corner. The former ECW champion hulks up and throws everyone off, with the exception of Sagrada who's so short that Ryck's arms go right over the top of him, leaving Mascarita to blast away at Ryck's ribs with a flurry of tiny punches. He eventually realizes the ineffectiveness of his blows and steps away, showing off with pushups and then shucking and jiving.

Collar-and-elbow tie up between the biggest and smallest men in the company and Masacarita manages to lock in a hammerlock on the big man, then kicks him in the back of the knee repeatedly until he goes down to one leg. Ryck smiles for a moment but then reaches over and grabs him in s snapmare. Mascarita quickly gets back to his feet and hits Ryck with a kick to the head but Ryck simply grabs him by the sides of his head and slams him face first into the canvas, much to Vampiro's delight.

Drago leaps off of Sagrada's back to catch King Cuerno in the face with a kick, but Cuerno no sells in what looks like a moment of complete miscommunication. As Big Ryck kicks Mascarita out of the ring, Cuerno pulls Drago up but eats a dropkick to the floor. Fenix then hits his stupid multi-springboard dropkick to send Ryck to the canvas. El Mariachi Loco hits a more respectable springboard dropkick on Ryck that drops him to one knee, then Pentagon Jr finaly sends The Boss to the floor with a basement dropkick of his own.

Necktie from Pentagon causes Fenix to take a powder. Drago hits multiple thrust kicks on Pentagon then hits the ropes and Pentagon sends Drago flying over the top into his rival King Cuerno, right in from of Danny Trejo, who was nice enough to move to the other side of the aisle to give the impression that this wasn't filmed the same day as last week's show. (Or maybe it wasn't. Maybe Danny Trejo only owns one shirt.)

Mascarita Sagrada returns to the ring to go after Pentagon and drops him to one knee with a series of kicks, but eats a hard slap to the chest which grounds him. Drago and Cuerno are brawling outside the ring as Pentagon Irish Whips Sagrada inside. Mascarita hits the around the world tilt-a-whirl headscissors take down and sells dizziness himself, allowing Pentagon Jr to hit the world's smallest lung blower.

Pentagon and Mascarita both end up on the apron. Mascarita tries to kick the super ninja but gets caught and eats a massive super kick to his miniature head. Super Fly tries for a baseball slide which Pentagon jumps over, so Super Fly yanks his feet out from under him and Pentagon lands on his back on the apron. Sagrada charges at Pentagon and gets a huge monkey flip into Cuerno on the floor.

Super Fly charges at Pentagon again but gets alley ooped to the apron, so he heads to the top turnbuckle and hits a picture perfect moonsault to Pentagon on the floor, inches away from Machete. Son of Havok fakes a suicide dive but bounces head first off the top rope and flips off the guys on the floor instead.

Puma sneaks in behind Havok and catches him with a punch but a whip is reversed. Havok drops down and Puma goes over, then Havok goes for a backdrop but Puma somersaults over him. Havok sidesteps Puma, then cartwheels over him and hits a headscissors, immediately followed by a nip up.

Havok immediately follows up with a whip but Puma breaks away and pushes him off. Puma somersaults past Havok and then does a double handspring back flip into a headscissors of his own. I would love to see these two in a one-on-one match. (It looks like YouTube has them (sans masks) in a triple threat match in Resistance Pro.)

Havok takes a powder as Puma's rib tape, as a result of the ladder match, begins to unravel. Puma does a somersault dive onto Pentagon and Super Fly with the tape trailing behind him like streamers, so he goes ahead and removes it while he's on the floor.

Fenix and El Mariachi Loco are back in the ring but decide to double team Big Ryck who rolls in as well. They whip him off and try to red rover him, but he breaks on through and turns them both inside out with clotheslines. Drago tries to surprise Big Ryck with a flying crossbody off the top, but Ryck catches him, gorilla presses him, and throws him into the other two luchadores.

Cuerno tries to charge the big man but gets dropped with a huge right hand to the face. Pentagon eats a forearm and Super Fly won't be eating anything after Ryck tears his head off with a clothesline. Havok tries a sneak attack but gets a clothesline as well, which Vampiro compares to AWA-era Road Warriors, where they hit you so hard that you start to go down before they've even made contact. Ryck goes for another gorilla press but eats a double superkick from Puma and Fenix, followed by a double enizguri. A double drop kick finally sends Ryck out of the ring, though nobody bothered to make a Rock 'n Roll Express reference.

Fenix chops Puma and sends him corner-to-corner, chasing him and hitting probably the best facewash kick I've ever seen. He runs back to the opposite corner to get some momentum but is chased by Puma who nails him with a hesitation dropkick. Puma then tries to run to the opposite corner but Fenix follows him and rearranges his face with a flying knee. Fenix then clears some space and drops Puma with a superkick, then calls for the 630.

Fenix panders to the crowd too long and Puma catches him on the top rope. Puma sets up for a superplex and Cuerno slides in to add the powerbomb for a Tower of Doom, but then Pentagon and Mariachi immediately run across the ring and grab Cuerno's legs and drop him face first as well. This entire sequence was completely awesome.

Son of Havok is up top and launches into an absolutely beautiful, hands-behind-the-head Shooting Star Press on Fenix. Can we stop and take a moment to appreciate this? Seriously, look at how absolutely perfect this is. I've seen this man hit this move from about 15' feet away and it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed.

(For the technologically savvy, a smoother HTML5 video version is also available.)

Havok goes for the first pinfall of the match but it's immediately broken up by a basement dropkick from Super Fly. Super Fly then hits a fireman's carry slam and a picture perfect moonsault of his own. Super Fly goes for a pin and the referee is so out of position that he makes the count despite Havok's shoulder literally being six inches off the canvas. Drago breaks it up by kicking away Super Fly's leg anyway, which seems like a completely logical way to break up a pin. Drago then lands a flurry of kicks and a lucha arm drag into his ultra fancy Dragon's Tail roll up, but Cuerno punts his prey in the face to stop the count.

Drago goes for a leg sweep but King Cuerno leaps over it and lands an enziguri. He follows up with the Thrill of the Hunt and goes for the pin but El Mariachi Loco stomps on the back of the head to break the count. A forearm and a superkick drop the hunter, but the pin attempt is broken up when Pentagon Jr punts El Mariachi Loco in the back of the head.

Pentagon kills El Mariachi Loco with a package piledriver but Mascarita Sagrada stops the pin attempt with a flying mini mafia kick. The mini goes for a 'rana but Pentagon catches him, so he turns it into a sunset flip powerbomb instead. He goes for a pin but Puma simply shoves him off of Pentagon Jr.

Puma decides to find out how it feels to be on the other end of the offense Big Ryck is always hitting him with, so he puts Sagrada on his shoulders, launches him up in the air and nails him with a massive knee to the gut on the way down. Puma goes for a pinfall but Ryck is back in and kicks him in the back, then decapitates him with a clothesline.

Ryck sets up for the Book of Ezekial but Puma slips out and kicks Ryck in the head. Fenix find Puma's argument convincing and kicks Ryck in the head as well. Mariachi and Drago then take him down with stereo kicks of their own. Cuerno and Pentagon suddenly become the best of friends, putting their arms around each other's shoulders and hitting a double basement dropkick, sending him out to the floor, as Stryker points out that everyone is picking on Ryck because he doesn't have a mask. It isn't explicitly stated, but the subtext here is that Big Ryck's head is so massive that he can't find a mask big enough to fit. He resorts to bullying in order to mask his shame.

Cuerno tosses Drago out of the ring and then hits the Arrow of Death tope suicida. Drago had to be 12 to 15 feet away from the ring and Cuerno hits that move faster than I've ever seen it. If Drago had dodged, Cuerno very likely might have been halfway to San Francisco by the time he came to a stop. Fortunately, that didn't happen because Super Fly and El Mariachi Loco hit tandem somersault dives onto both of them.

Pentagon Jr is lonely, so he comes crashing down on the pile with a top rope senton to the floor. Son of Havok then takes it up another notch with a cartwheel back handspring flip to the pile, landing on his feet. Danny Trejo is so impressed that he has to high five him for that move.

Mascarita Sagrada wants in on the fun but isn't big enough to take out the entire pile, so he settles for a flying headscissors from the top to the floor on Pentagon Jr, which Stryker names the Mini Marshmallowrana.

Back in the ring, Fenix charges at Big Ryck but Ryck ducks and Fenix hits a 619 on nobody, but holds onto the ropes and reverses, hitting Ryck from the other side. Before he can follow up, he gets nailed with a flying kick to the head from Puma, who immediately goes up to the top. Puma hits the 630 senton on Big Ryck but is immediately attacked by Fenix who nails him with a tilt-a-whirl DDT. Puma barely kicks out at 2 1/2.

Fenix locks on a Dragon Sleeper but then flips Prince Puma up onto his shoulder and nails him with a modified pile driver for the 1,2,3. Fenix

This was an outstanding match. Not as great as last week's ladder match because it was just an insane free-for-all with very little story, but as far as a crazy, fun spot-fest goes, it was far and away better than the entire TLC PPV. The crowd appropriately chants THAT WAS AWESOME as Fenix celebrates in the ring and we go to commercial.

As cubs pointed out last week, El Ray is very generous with their timing of commercials. The 25 minute ladder match last week was commercial free and this 11 minute match was interrupted as well.

Back from break, the ring is filled with a fresh batch of warriors. Johnny Mundo is present, so apparently he wasn't fired after punching his boss last week. Cortez Castro, Mr Cisco, and Bael, now collectively known as The Crew, are all here. Famous B gets a shot at redemption. Pimpinella Escarlata and Sexy Star are both present and accounted for. Ricky Mandel, whoever that is, makes his debut. And Mils Muertes is set to play the monster for this round. Apparently this is going to be a battle royal rather than a free-for-all. Stryker runs down the list of names and notices there are only nine luchadores in the ring, which means someone is missing. Cue Chavo Guerrero's music.

Sexy Star immediately hones in on Chavo and waves the rest of the participants off. As Chavo removes his pancho and jaws at the crowd, Sexy steps out to the apron and then nails him with a seated senton to the floor. She lays in the boots and forearms as the bell rings, kicking off the match.

Stryker talks about how he learned from William Regal that you should stay in the middle of the ring as much as possible. Meanwhile, Angela Fong has appeared up in the stands once again. Castro tries to eliminate Johnny Mundo but of course he holds on and skins the cat. Meanwhile Famous B goes for a flying crossbody on Pimpinella but the exotico simply walks away and B crashes and burns.

Pimpi hits Famous B with a dropkick and then clotheslines him over the top rope for the first elimination. Estrelada celebrates a bit too much by dancing, so Cortez & Cisco drop him with a double chop. They lift him up for a double whip but Pimpinella lands a seated springboard double arm drag to escape.

Meanwhile, Ricky Mandel has been cuddling with Mils Muertes' leg for quite some time now. I'm not sure if he's attempting to flip him over the top rope or just really likes his pants. Finally Sexy Star notices this, after dropkicking Pimpinella, so she comes over, lifts Muertes' other leg up in the air, and kicks him in the ass.

The Crew start wondering who the hell Ricky Mandel is and what he's doing here, so they all three lift him up for what I expect to be a triple powerbomb or maybe a triple team cutter, but instead just unceremoniously dump him to the floor.

Pimpinella attempts to go Old School on Johnny Mundo but has trouble keeping his balance, so Mils Muertes comes over and yanks them both to the mat. He then spears the exotico from only about two feet away but still makes it look deadly. A Thousand Deaths then picks up Escarlata and launches him over the top, to the dismay of the crowd.

Sexy Star leaps on Chavo's back and goes for a sleeper but Chavo snapmares her over and then drags her around the ring by her hair. He pulls her back up but she hits him with a slap and then a Codebreaker. She charges but gets elevated over the top to the apron. Chavo goes for the elimination but she shoulderblocks him and then comes off the top with a crossbody. Unfortunately, Chavo catches her and throws her to the floor.

The Crew alternate between beating on Chavo, Mundo, and Muertes. After they wear out all three of them, they concentrate on Mundo as Muertes goes after Guerrero. They try to dump Mundo shades of Ricky Mandel but he skins the cat once again. Vampiro informs us that if Fit Finley were in the ring right now, he'd have kicked Mundo right in the back so hard his lungs would have come out his ears. Apparently it's a night to reference European masters.

The Crew continue their attempts to knock Mundo off the apron, including a basement dropkick from Cortez Castro, but Mundo hooks his feet under the bottom rope, hanging upside down. Mundo finally fights off The Crew with kicks, then hooks his legs around Castro and pulls him out to the floor. Before Cisco can intervene, Chavo grabs him and tosses him out over the top of Mundo. Bael then tries to get revenge on Chavito, but is whipped into a spear from Muertes that was so hard I'm pretty sure Bael's kidneys shot out of his ears, orbited the earth, and re-entered through his ass. Muertes easily tosses Bael out after that, which is good because he may need surgery now.

Initially, Chavo and Mundo work together to beat down Muertes, but then Chavo attacks Mundo. Chavo is whipped into the ropes and Mundo backdrops him but Chavo turns that into a dropkick to Muertes. Chavo runs into a superkick from Mundo. Mundo goes for a dropkick but Chavo blocks and attempts to catapult him over the top. Mundo, once again, manages to stay on the apron. Chavo immediately lays into Mundo, but Muertes comes up behind Chavo and goes for a German Suplex. Chavo hangs on to the top rope, so Mundo sunset flips Muertes who completely flips Chavo onto his face with the belly-to-back suplex.

Mundo starts to get an advantage on Muertes but is stopped short when Catrina grabs his leg. Muertes charges in and Mundo gets the boot up but Mils catches his foot and flips him backward over the top rope. Johnny fights him off, however, and reenters the ring with a springboard dropkick.

All three men are down, but Chavo & Mundo are the first to their feet. Chavo reverses a whip to the corner and charges in but Mundo lifts him up and drops him testicles first on the top rope, hitting him with a springboard kick to end Chavo's night.

Johnny Mundo and Mils Muertes come face to face in the center of the ring in what will likely be a main event at some point in the future. They trade punches as Angela Fong watches on from atop the balcony. Mundo tries a go-behind but Muertes catches him with an elbow and then smashes in with a spear.

Muertes looks to be going for a superplex but decides to set Mundo on the apron instead. He lays into him with forearms but still can't eliminate him, so he goes for a big kick. Mundo, however, catches his leg and tries to pull him over the top. Muertes eventually fights off and tries to charge Mundo but Mundo somersaults back into the ring. A forearm shot fails to drop Muertes. A clothesline fail to drop Muertes. Finally, a leaping leg lariat brings him down. A running knee flattens him again.

Mundo awkwardly gets Muertes over the top and on to the apron but Mils immediately fights back with punches. He then tries to suplex Mundo to the floor but Mundo lands feet first on the apron. Mundo lands several kicks but Muertes comes back with a big punch and then a kick to the gut. Mundo goes down on the apron and Muertes tries to push him to the floor by stepping on his throat, but Mundo locks his legs around the bottom rope and won't let go.

Mils Muertes reenters the ring and tries to power Johnny Mundo to the floor, but Mundo lands several kicks. Mils fights back with punches but Mundo ducks a big roundhouse and slides under Muertes' legs to reenter the ring. Eniziguri drops Muertes in the corner, perfectly positioned for Starship Pain, now christened End of the World. Mundo goes for the showboat finish but Mils Muertes gets his knees up. Mundo sells an injured knee and Muertes clotheslines him over the top and to the floor for the victory.

That was a damn fine battle royal. Almost exactly 11 minutes from bell to bell, for those keeping track. WWE could learn something here about letting your lesser known guy pick up a win while keeping the star look strong in defeat. We go to our second commercial break of the night in preparation for Dario Cueto letting everyone know what sort of opportunity Fenix and Mil Muertes have earned.

Back from break, Muertes and Fenix are face to face in the ring but Cueto's music hits before any physicality can begin. El Jefe steps out of his office with a title belt in his hand. He brings it down to the ring and shows it off to the crowd. Cueto has created "the most inventive, brutal, and grueling match ever", which honors the warriors of the ain-see-unt times. It's called "Aztec Warfare" and will happen in a few weeks, on January 7th. Fenix and Mils Muertes will now battle each other. The winner will be the last man to enter the Aztec Warfare match, while the loser will be the first entrant. No explanation of what the match entails. Are we getting new shows on Christmas & New Years Eve? Or will we enter this new match blind?

Before the match starts, we cut to a commercial break but return before the action starts. Mils Muertes attempts to lock up but Fenix keeps dodging, finally catching a rear waistlock. Muertes breaks out and slides behind, dropping Fenix with a forearm and then stomping him into the mat.

Fenix fights back with kicks and then goes up for a 4-springboard armdrag. I'm sure those three extra bounces really wrenched in the pain of that throw. Fenix goes for a corner charge but Muertes boots his head off.

Muertes apparently still thinks he's in a battle royal because he tries to chuck Fenix over the top, but the high flyer lands on the apron, rocks Muertes with forearms, then nails a missile dropkick, causing the monster to take a powder to the floor.

Fenix his a corkscrew dive over the top. Fenix is the first back in the ring, with Muertes barely making the ten count. Fenix charges but Muertes murders him with his 4th or 5th spear of the night, all of which have looked absolutely brutal. Vampiro points out that the spear is usually the setup for the Flatliner, but Muertes decides to drape Fenix over the middle rope so Catrina can get involved, snapping his throat.

Muertes follows up by slaughtering Fenix with a DDT that looked as brutal as his spear. He goes for the pinfall but Fenix kicks out at 2. A powerslam draws another 2 count.

Fenix comes back with a springboard handspring kick then goes for a 'rana but Muertes turns it into a powerbomb for yet another near fall.

Muertes whips Fenix off but he handsprings again, this time into a cutter. Fenix covers but only gets two, so he heads up to the top rope. For some unknown reason, he does a 360 on the top rope with a series of hops, as if he was planning on springboarding but forgot to actually jump, instead leaping off and getting plastered by a forearm to the face. Muertes then pulls him up by the throat and finishes him with the Flatliner for the win.

Just under 6 minutes for this match, which is fine considering what it was following and the fact that both men had already had a match tonight. It was a decent enough match, made better by the stakes. After Mils Muertes is announced as the winner, Catrina comes in and administers the lick of death on Fenix.

After the credits roll, we find Dario Cueto in a dimly lit room with what looks to be prison bars, seemingly talking to someone.

"This is what I have always dreamed of," he says, looking at the championship belt. "The gods will look upon this with great favor. The gold in this belt comes from each of the seven Aztec tribes. This championship is not only priceless, it's powerful."

Cueto looks up at someone off camera.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you touch it. I know how you like to destroy pretty things."

And we're out.

Well, that just got interesting. I have to assume the key that Cueto wears around his neck, which he was willing to give Johnny Mundo $100,000 in exchange for, must unlock whatever is held behind those bars.

Are we going for a Cabin In The Woods scenario in which Cueto is sacrificing the luchadores in order to appease some demon locked beneath the temple?

There was this quote from Catrina a couple of weeks ago:

"We know the darkness you're trying to hide, Mr. Cueta. Mil Muertes learned long ago you can't keep darkness locked away forever."

I'll admit it. My interest is piqued.

Next week is Christmas eve, El Rey is running a Godzilla movie marathon. Week after is New Year's Eve, no idea what they're doing then. So this is, essentially, the last show of the year.

Anyone else thinking Mil Muertes wins on 1/7?

Pro-Tip: Don't read the Lucha Underground entry on Wikipedia. I've avoided spoilers for the show, but the two things I do know are the names of wrestlers who have yet to appear on television and the name of the first champion.

Spoiler: It's not Famous B.

You mean they didn't put their world title on their halfass JTG knockoff? WELL, FUCK THIS SHOW!

Not just a package piledriver. A RUNNING package piledriver. And Fenix wins with a reverse suplex into a Fire Thunder/Rikishi Driver. GOOD LORD.

Son of Havok was reborn with this match, doing stuff he hasn't suggested in his earlier comedy bouts. His dives were textbook. Both these matches were amazing to see.

I had forgotten about Morrison's Royal Rumble spots until he barely avoided elimination here.

Fantastic! Son of Havok definitely, finally, looked good here. I want to see more of that type of stuff and not the goofy dude who beats up on women and midgets.

As awesome as the in ring work was, I was more impressed by Striker and Vampiro on commentary. I thought they really stepped up here and Put thw WWE and TNA to shame with this episode. They are coming together extremely well on this show and whoever is coaching them deserves a raise. When I hear them mention westlers from other companies, it feels natural to the story, not forced at all.

I can't wait til January, I want the next episode now!

It looks like on New Years Eve they're marathoning the entire series up to this point.

For everyone else: if you haven't seen the 10 man elimination match, it's a good use of about 15 minutes of your time. Just start watching it when RAW gets annoying tonight and - well, RAW might still be annoying 15 minutes later, it can't help that much.



(when did iframe start working?)

I'm guessing El Rey would rather people bug their cable provider to pick them up than make the extra $2/episode by selling the shows on iTunes, but they've at least been nice enough to upload the best match of the week. I hope they'll release some bonus content during this break - I know there was supposed to be some stuff along those lines out at some point, but nothing of it has turned up yet. Hoping for a Xmas gift, basically.
