00:00You do possess the gift of gods.
00:05There's been a man hunting you, and he wants to take that title.
00:10King Gwendo!
00:13Phoenix must defend the gift of the gods!
00:16Everything is on the line!
00:18Thrill of the hunt!
00:20New champion!
00:21The hunter now seeks the biggest gain!
00:24Congratulations. Just remember our deal.
00:27You have nothing to worry about.
00:29And neither does Mir.
00:31We came ready to fight.
00:33He wants to see you fight.
00:36The Disciples of Death are evening things out.
00:38Iblis is left alone to fight for the Lucha Underground title.
00:42Blockbinder!
00:44There's Prince Puma!
00:46Puma coming to the aid of Iblis!
00:48Wait a second!
00:50There's Pentagon!
00:53Pentagon breaks his opponent's arm!
00:56There's trophies!
00:58Pentagon has made a loud, bold statement!
01:26Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
01:36This is not a test.
01:38Do not adjust your screens.
01:40This is the Lucha Underground.
01:41I am Vampiro, here with my partner in crime, Matt Stryker.
01:45Insanity and controversy.
01:47Pentagon Jr. is exploding here, brother.
01:50He left our Lucha Underground champion with his arm busted.
01:54That's right, Mil Muertes.
01:56Last week he almost incensed into Prince Puma.
01:58Matt, I'm out of my mind tonight.
02:00Yeah, but Puma escaped and will no doubt be coming for your boy.
02:04Prince Puma isn't the only cat in the Lucha Jungle.
02:07While he relaxes, let's take it to the ring.
02:12The Bali Lucha is scheduled for one fall.
02:15Introducing first from the jungle, the mighty Bengana!
02:22Cat jokes aside, let's talk about the wrestler underneath the image.
02:27You can just tell by his impeccable footwork and the placement of his moves
02:31that the man beneath is an experienced, savvy, and technically sound competitor.
02:37And that's what will be on display as Bengana enters the temple.
02:41Vamp, your thoughts on Bengana?
02:43Man, where do you want me to start?
02:46Freshest hook of this side of the Mississippi.
02:50And his opponent, from Tuxla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico, Cobra Moon!
03:00I'm going to be honest, I don't know anything about this next competitor.
03:05From what I know about the serpent in the pre-Hispanic culture, very ancient tribe.
03:11If we're talking about the seven originals, this is the bad boy, this is the mecca, this is the first one.
03:16Apparently it's come from another time.
03:19Nobody really knows, but this is something extremely significant, man.
03:23What it holds for us here in Lucha Underground, it can't be that good.
03:27Because if you come in with something that old, you're only bringing a hell of a lot of evil with you.
03:31Cobra Moon, the lunar serpent.
03:33Now of course here in Lucha Underground, the gender roles are blurred.
03:38Every competitor gets in the ring and fights, regardless of where they're from or what they're up to.
03:46I don't know about you, I'm intrigued already and the match hasn't even started.
03:50I was going to say, a little bit of snake-like.
03:52Lanky, slick, sleek movements. Let's see how that translates to the fight, though.
03:57There you go, mamacita. You know when you're going to be insulting like that to something so ancient?
04:01You've got to be careful. It might be beautiful and sexy, but down deep, you've got to remember, this is old school evil.
04:07Alright, here we go. Both competitors getting low.
04:22Impressive there by Cobra Moon, sends Bengala onto the floor.
04:26Broke the myth. The urban legend. Cats don't land on their feet all the time by the looks of things.
04:33Oh!
04:36This year's Lucha Underground is going to attract a wide array of fighters,
04:40but these fighters have to bring a unique style because this Lucha Libre style is constantly evolving
04:46and I think Cobra Moon may be the epitome of that.
04:48No doubt. When you said it, Matt, it's a much darker place.
04:52We've been throwing it out there since day one. The doors are open.
04:55If you think you've got what it takes, bring it.
04:59Oh!
05:07Utilizing the ring to her advantage, Cobra Moon now creates space.
05:12Slithers, comes. Oh!
05:17Oh, look at the eyes of Bengala. Nice flying headbutt there. Yet another.
05:23Very, very reminiscent of a Mil Mascaras, we can say.
05:27And of a Vampira throwing that kick. I'm sorry, you had to get in.
05:30Cover. Not enough. Wow.
05:37And of course, Mil Muertes watching from high above. Great block there by Cobra Moon.
05:43Tight. Both legs wrapped around. Very wise.
05:47Very wise.
05:50Straight up.
05:52Now the scaly skin of Cobra Moon in a compromising position.
05:56Wow, look at those eyes.
06:04Oh!
06:06Kick the feather right out of her. Is it enough? No.
06:11Positioning Cobra Moon now. Bengala.
06:14She's calling for it. Ascending high to the temple.
06:17Oh, caught the knees on the way down.
06:20Is this a momentum shift?
06:23Cobra Moon slithers into position. Wow.
06:26Going for the snake sleeper here. This is a submission hold.
06:29You can see the eyes of Bengala starting to fade.
06:34Now Bengala has all of Cobra's weight on him as well.
06:37Reaching for the ropes.
06:40Oh, no. Falling back.
06:43Body scissor. Grabbing the arm.
06:45It's a submission there.
06:47There's a tap there. This match is over, Bengala.
06:50And your winner, Cobra Moon.
06:57An impressive debut for Cobra Moon.
07:00A brand new fighter here in the temple.
07:03You never know who's going to show up here at Lucha Underground.
07:08Ladies and gentlemen, we are just getting started.
07:11A huge night here at Lucha Underground.
07:13Don't go away. We'll be right back.
07:20I have to admit, I still get a tingle of excitement when I feel your presence.
07:30Dame a cuerno.
07:32Are you sure?
07:37Even a thousand lions will run out eventually.
08:07Ha regresado el hombre de las estrellas.
08:22Las siete tribus están en guerra, y muchos morirán.
08:28Las tribus tienen que estar unidas para detener a los que vienen.
08:34¿Quién viene?
08:38Los dioses.
08:40¿Quién viene?
08:42Los dioses.
08:44¿Quién viene?
08:46Los dioses.
08:49Los dioses convertidos en hombres.
08:53Yo sé de esa profecÃa.
08:56Los dioses no vendrán por más de mil años.
09:01Entonces yo tendré que ir allá.
09:19El nos ha dicho que las tribus se deben unir.
09:24Y aunque tenga mi corazón lleno de esperanza,
09:29no creo que esto suceda jamás.
09:49El hombre de las estrellas
10:11You took the title.
10:18I did not destroy the man.
10:23I did exactly what you wanted.
10:26Your wounded animal is safe from Phoenix.
10:32Wounded or not, even the best hunter would fall prey to Mil Muertes.
10:39Besides, we are all on the same side here.
10:50And I have a much better hunt for you tonight.
10:57Kill the Phoenix once and for all.
11:03And then match your undefeated end.
11:08Last Luchador standing.
11:13You won't even have to put your title on the line.
11:17All you have to do is make sure that bird never flies again.
11:26Do we understand each other?
11:30The hunt is on.
11:44The following lucha is scheduled for one fall.
11:47Currently in the ring, from Parkland, Washington, Jack Evans!
11:56Damn, man!
11:59This is a human video game.
12:01And his opponent, from El Emperamundo, Drago!
12:11Ladies and gentlemen, I'll make no bones about it.
12:14For me, this is one of the hottest, most gifted, freshest talents in a sport that I freaking love.
12:21And when we come back, two of the very best, pound for pound high flyers,
12:26do battle in a match you'll only see here!
12:29Drago versus Jack Evans is next!
12:46Welcome back to Lucha Underground, and this match is what 2016
12:51and the direction of the sport that we all love is all about.
12:56Drago, the masked wrestler.
12:58Jack Evans stands, ready to fight.
13:00Collar and elbow tie-up, now Drago pushes Jack into the ropes.
13:04Pretty aggressive right off the get-go.
13:06Jack has got this building on fire.
13:08Let's not forget that he's an innovator.
13:10Sorry to say it, before the Pumas, before the Arrow Stars, before anybody else,
13:14there was Jack Evans, whether you like it or not, Matt.
13:16Oh yeah, listen, Jack's been killing it for years at such a high level.
13:19I said it before, to me, this match is where our sport is going, right here.
13:27Both men high flyers, though they're feeling each other out right now.
13:32How dope is it, though, when we're seeing two of the best in the world at their prime?
13:35Only here at Lucha Underground, right?
13:37Flip, roll through, you are correct, duck from the kick.
13:40Drago too quick.
13:42Drago now, to the ropes.
13:46Nice basement dropkick sends Jack Evans to the floor.
13:49And now this is where it starts to pick up.
13:53The fans are feeling it, Matt. I know you are too.
13:56I see you getting geeked on this.
13:58Yeah, this is my style of wrestling. This is what I love.
14:03Oh, Drago turned his back.
14:06Jack wasting no time.
14:08Both guys had great years here in Lucha Underground last year.
14:13They have to build off of it.
14:15They have to be better.
14:18Wow, the crowd is feeling it.
14:20They like a good fight.
14:22Jack chucks the clothesline, slap across the face.
14:25May have caught Drago in the ear, if dragons have ears.
14:32Jack Evans brings that great dance fighting style,
14:35but it looks like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five just got Marley Marled.
14:41I know you had to study to get that one.
14:45Of course, Drago riding a wave of momentum after his huge victory at Ultima Lucha.
14:54Jack had a great match as well, but was unsuccessful.
14:57But from Ultima Lucha, now they build further for this year.
15:03Nice takedown there by Drago. Drago keeps the leg.
15:06What does he have in mind? Step over.
15:08Compromise the knee. Looks like he's going for a type of submission.
15:10Jack is biting Drago's thumb.
15:14What's wrong with that?
15:18What is wrong with that?
15:19I didn't say there's anything wrong with it.
15:25This is all fine and dandy right here, Matt.
15:27The action is phenomenal, but someone is going to have to start to get a strategy to go for a win sooner or later.
15:32I said at the top of this match that these are arguably two of the best pound-for-pound high flyers in our sport.
15:37And yet, there hasn't been a lot of that.
15:39So it shows that they are evolving.
15:41The fighting style evolves here in the temple.
15:45Jack is just so fresh.
15:47And if you're not growing, you're dying. Jack Evans in for the cover. Not enough.
15:53Wow.
15:55I'll wager that the first high flying move hit in this match will certainly give whichever luchador hits it a distinct advantage.
16:02Wow.
16:09And again, all night long, our champion Mil Muertes watching with a brooding eye.
16:15Every single luchador is a potential opponent for Mil.
16:25Back handspring into the eye gouge.
16:28Let's go, Jacko!
16:31Jack feeds off his name. He loves to piss people off. That's so awesome.
16:36A contrarian, an antagonist, Jack Evans certainly does rise to the occasion when people are annoyed.
16:45Framing up his shot now, Jack Evans.
16:48I can do it!
16:54Cover.
16:56Justin Borton down, but just the two.
16:59Matt, you remember when Jack would say, I am Lucha Libre?
17:02I think he's trying to surpass that and take it to another level, obviously.
17:06Well, the believers are firmly behind Drago. He has earned their respect with his fighting style.
17:13Whoa!
17:16Oh, felt that. Felt it right in the bread basket.
17:22The fans chanting otra one more time.
17:25Nice counter there by Jack.
17:27Hell yeah, pull it off.
17:29Drago's still too quick.
17:32I think Drago's getting rocked.
17:35Jack's offense has been very ugly tonight. It's almost indicative of...
17:41He's just an angry young man.
17:43What's ugly about it, man? He's in a fight. He wants to win.
17:46Come on, you do the same thing. I've seen you.
17:51Big right hand by Jack Evans now.
17:54Sends Drago in. Drago with the reversal. Evans off the ropes.
17:58Big back body drop puts Jack Evans flat on his back, Evans.
18:05Leap frog roll through. Pass by Drago using the ring.
18:08Great arm drag there. Classic Lucha Libre.
18:11Here we go, here we go. You called it. First one with the big high flying move.
18:15Will Drago hit it? Can Drago connect?
18:18Whoa!
18:20While Drago hit Jack, Jack definitely sent Drago to the floor as well.
18:25We'll have to see who comes up worse for wear in that exchange.
18:29It's so loud right now in this building.
18:31Absolutely. We thank our fans each and every week.
18:34You guys are the reasons we're back, and we're going to give you everything we got this year.
18:39The believers have proven their love for Drago, and Drago has earned their respect.
18:44In any type of relationship, that's the most important thing.
18:48How you earn the respect of your peers.
18:52And your opponent at this level of violence. Right or wrong, Matt?
18:55Absolutely 100%.
18:58DDT!
19:00Cover to Newell!
19:04He drove him down so fast.
19:11Jack Evans now struggling as Drago comes up to a vertical base.
19:16There you see Mil Muertes watching.
19:19Kick, kick. Trying to cut down Drago.
19:22Jumping back, kick down. Jack off the ropes.
19:25Knee shot.
19:27Whip reversal.
19:30Nicely done there.
19:32Drago going for the Lamaistra Cradle. Is this enough? No.
19:36Of course, Lamaistra Cradle, a classic Lucha Libre move.
19:39Rolled through, schoolboy, not enough.
19:41Every time I see that, it reminds me of Negro Casas.
19:43You know what I'm saying? That's so famous.
19:47Inside-out blockbuster. Jack Evans may have broken his neck.
19:56Oh my God.
19:57And now, the Dragon's Lair. No, Jack had it well scouted.
20:02Keeping the arm, going for the backslide.
20:04A rudimentary wrestling maneuver, it may be enough.
20:07Feet are on the ropes. Feet are on the ropes.
20:10And here's your winner, Jack...
20:14Shut up!
20:16Not a professional can handle this.
20:20Out of the way, chumps.
20:28And your winner...
20:33Jack Evans.
20:36And your winner, Jack Ev...
20:41No, no, no, no, no.
20:44Sorry, Lucha Mejor can't, so I'm a lot more than that.
20:48Your winner, Jack, the Dragon's Lair, Evans.
20:56It was ring placement.
20:58Jack had his foot on the ropes for maybe half a second,
21:01so take that as you will.
21:02But I'm not so sure how Drago is going to feel about Jack's new nickname for him.
21:07But any way you look at it, Jack Evans, victorious here in his return to Lucha Underground,
21:12and now Drago must return to his lair and figure out his next move.
21:18Ladies and gentlemen, tonight has been special, and it's only going to get better.
21:23We will have a huge main event.
21:26Phoenix against King Cuerno.
21:28King Cuerno, the last Luchador standing.
21:31You don't want to miss this.
21:53My name is The Habit.
21:55I was the youngest and longest reigning AAA Mega Champion.
21:59I am a Mexican-ass kicker.
22:02Tejano is back, you brawler kind of guy.
22:05I'm proud to be Mexican.
22:06Mexicano!
22:08But like so many people in my country,
22:11I've had to fight for everything that is mine.
22:16I come from a family of wrestlers, but I've never received anything for free in my life.
22:21I've worked for everything I have.
22:23And I will never allow anyone to take what belongs to me.
22:29Chavo Guerrero and his gang have stained the honor of my country,
22:33and they tried to beat me like a dog.
22:41But that wasn't their biggest mistake.
22:47Their biggest mistake
22:49was making me angry.
22:55When you make Tejano angry,
22:58you start a fight with the toughest Mexican.
23:10And I promise you, I don't fight clean.
23:20I don't fight clean.
23:31Keep them coming.
23:50Who do you pray to?
23:57God.
24:03I heard Conan praying
24:06as the life drained from him in that casket.
24:09You know the last words that he said?
24:13Forgive me.
24:16And I wonder
24:19if he's asking God's forgiveness for the wicked life that he's led,
24:26or for you,
24:28because he's failed you.
24:32I don't know.
24:35I don't know.
24:36Or for you,
24:38because he's failed you so miserably.
24:45It's too bad.
24:47He would have loved to see what you do to Pentagon Junior next week.
24:54Maybe it will be you to make a sacrifice in honor of your master.
25:03God rest his soul.
25:07The following lucha is the last luchador standing match.
25:12The only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent
25:16until he can no longer hear the referee's count of ten.
25:20Introducing first, from Mexico City, Mexico,
25:24Phoenix!
25:27Just a year ago, Phoenix was a fresh-faced, bubbly young competitor.
25:33Now, there's a grizzle to his walk and his way.
25:37How does this kind of fight, a last luchador standing fight,
25:41affect the body, the career, the legacy of a competitor like Phoenix?
25:45This is dangerous. This can take place anywhere in the building, under any circumstance.
25:50There really is no DQ.
25:52And I'm telling you, if your heart and soul is in it like we know his is,
25:55he's willing to go the distance, which means he could almost put his life on the line.
25:59Phoenix has quickly become one of the most battle-tested luchadors here in lucha underground,
26:05earning every single accolade.
26:08But I'm just not so sure at this point in this young fighter's career
26:12that a last luchador standing match is wise.
26:17Does he need it?
26:19No.
26:20Should he do it?
26:21Probably not.
26:22Is he going to listen to me or you?
26:24Definitely not.
26:25Only a couple of weeks removed from losing the Gift of the Gods championship
26:29that would have given Phoenix the opportunity to face Mil Muertes.
26:33And let's not forget, Phoenix is arguably the only person
26:36to show any type of vulnerability in Mil Muertes,
26:39so maybe Katrina has some type of plan here.
26:44Now that is such an interesting thing that you said,
26:46because this is a non-title match, let's not forget that.
26:49Why would it be a non-title?
26:51It's not a fight that takes a last luchador standing.
26:52And his opponent, from the highlands of Guerrero, Mexico,
26:57he is the Gift of the Gods champion,
27:00King Cuerno!
27:04Well, this man, the hunter King Cuerno,
27:07won the Gift of the Gods title from Phoenix,
27:10so why there's no title on the line is beyond me.
27:13But again, it goes back to what I said,
27:15Phoenix is the first guy to show any modicum of vulnerability to Mil Muertes,
27:18so perhaps it's in Katrina's best business interest to keep Phoenix at bay.
27:23Now, is it business, or does she just know?
27:26She has a little bit of fear, you think?
27:28Come on.
27:30Last luchador standing, Melissa told us at the top of this match.
27:33The idea is simple.
27:35Incapacitate, beat, destroy your opponent
27:38so that they cannot answer the referee's count of ten.
27:42It is literally the last luchador standing will be victorious,
27:46but at what cost?
27:48What impresses me about this kid,
27:50it doesn't matter the circumstance.
27:52He doesn't feel the pressure.
27:54He takes his time.
27:56He intimidates you.
27:58He makes you wait.
28:00He disrespects you.
28:02He gets the job done.
28:04Two of the most gifted luchadores to ever step foot into the hallowed grounds of the temple,
28:06Cuerno versus Phoenix.
28:08It's coming up next.

28:32Welcome back to Lucha Underground,
28:34and this one is going to be special.
28:36King Cuerno versus Phoenix.
28:41These two luchadores know each other well,
28:44so expect a lot of counter-wrestling,
28:46a lot of fighting.
28:48Elbow tie up, now Phoenix grabs the back of the head.
28:50Push off.
28:52Big right hand, big right elbow.
28:54Look at the veins in the neck.
28:56They're taking these shots full on, bro.
28:58Of course, this fight is a continuation
29:00from a couple of weeks ago.
29:02Kick, stop.
29:04Nicely done.
29:06Point of the toe under the chin.
29:08Handspring back elbow.
29:10Cuerno is down.
29:12Every time a luchador's shoulder is down,
29:14the referee will start his count,
29:16but Phoenix understands it's going to take a lot more
29:18than that.
29:20Have you been in a lot of last luchador standing matches?
29:22Just when I was married, bro,
29:24and I didn't do too good,
29:26but in the ring, no, I have never done it.
29:28I think I'd be scared.
29:30I don't want to say I'd be scared to do it.
29:32It's something I wouldn't want to do.
29:34Now the unique offense of Phoenix.
29:42Referee starts his count.
29:48Also important to point out early on,
29:50it's extremely loud here in the temple.
29:52If the luchadors can't hear the count,
29:54they have no idea how much time to convalesce.
30:00Phoenix is right.
30:02Flying European or Mexican uppercut there from Cuerno.
30:05Cuerno still on jelly legs.
30:08Boom.
30:10Nice jumping single leg dropkick there from Cuerno,
30:12and now referee will start his count on Phoenix.
30:14That looked like slow motion from a movie, man.
30:16My God.
30:18Three!
30:22Four!
30:24You've got to love our fans, man.
30:26They're like a fighter, period, good or bad.
30:28And for those that know their lucha underground history,
30:30they will know that King Cuerno
30:32won the only last luchador standing match
30:35here in the temple.
30:37It was against Drago,
30:39so Cuerno has experience in these type of matches.
30:41Phoenix now from the heavens.
30:43Oh!
30:45That was ugly.
30:48One!
30:51Two!
30:54Three!
30:56Remember, any time a luchador is down
30:59anywhere in the temple,
31:01the referee will start his count.
31:03Now, since the count is going on,
31:05would Cuerno be able to go and put the boost to him,
31:07or has he got to leave him alone?
31:09That's by Cuerno's choice.
31:11If he believes that his opponent has suffered enough damage,
31:12he would leave him alone,
31:14but that's not the case here.
31:16But wouldn't it break the count is what I'm asking.
31:18Yes, it would.
31:20I see, I see.
31:22So you almost got to knock him out.
31:24Yes.
31:26Like that.
31:28And of course,
31:30outside the temple on the floor,
31:32it's very dirty.
31:34It's grimy.
31:36So Cuerno is going to use his elements
31:38and reposition some seats as well.
31:43That almost looked like bowling for dollars, Matt.
31:45Get him out.
31:47Strike.
31:49Three!
31:53Four!
31:55Could this be it?
31:57Five!
31:59Halfway home.
32:01Phoenix not fully on his feet yet.
32:06Phoenix is up with some assistance.
32:09The match continues.
32:10Notice how close Cuerno is
32:12giving Phoenix no time for reprieve.
32:14Oh!
32:16Damn.
32:18Technics for everybody.
32:20One!
32:22Smashing Phoenix into the wall.
32:24Reminiscent of that match he had with Mil Muertes
32:26is getting the same type of beating here.
32:28Am I reading too much into that
32:30or is there something at stake here?
32:32I'm only speculating, bro.
32:34That's all we can do.
32:36Out of space between the two.
32:38I don't know if Cuerno realizes
32:40but Phoenix is up.
32:42There's still some fight left
32:44in the bird of war.
32:46Man, he's going on fumes.
32:48There's no way.
32:50He's knocked out.
32:52Two!
32:54Three!
32:56And amidst all this,
32:58Mil Muertes has to be enjoying this.
33:00Five!
33:02Six!
33:04Would he be enjoying this
33:06or is he part of the long-term plan here?
33:08Something's got to be up.
33:10If it's Phoenix,
33:12then nothing stands between Cuerno
33:14and the Lucha Underground Championship.
33:16Four!
33:18Wow, Cuerno is on fire.
33:20Six!
33:22Look at Phoenix using the ring,
33:24using anything he can to pull himself up.
33:26You have to admire Phoenix's heart
33:28but you have to wonder when enough is enough.
33:30How is he going to feel tomorrow, man?
33:32Is it worth it?
33:34Not thinking about tomorrow, my man.
33:36No doubt.
33:38Amen, brother.
33:41Oh!
33:43Here we go now.
33:45Phoenix continues to rise from the ashes.
33:47And here comes Phoenix!
33:50Oh!
33:54And he's out!
33:56Wow!
33:58He is on fire.
34:00He's taking his heat and the pain,
34:02converting it into gasoline for his attack.
34:04Look at how Mil starts to stir
34:06at any bit of Phoenix's success.
34:08Do you think Mil is slightly,
34:10I don't want to say afraid,
34:12but aware of Phoenix?
34:14Wow, with moves like that,
34:16he doesn't even have to.
34:18Why don't we say he's aware?
34:20I think Luimuertes is scared
34:22he doesn't really go together.
34:24Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
34:26Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
34:28Phoenix is hurt.
34:30Four!
34:32Sure, you can tell by how far Phoenix is
34:34away from his opponent.
34:36Halfway home and Cuerno hasn't even begun
34:38to roll over yet.
34:40Now,
34:42Cuerno is onto his front.
34:44He has his knees positioned on the floor.
34:46Cuerno is up!
34:48And Phoenix is out of this world!
34:50Wow!
34:52Wow!
34:54Wow!
34:56Wow!
34:58Wow!
35:00He's got to be praying, man.
35:02He's got to be praying that whenever
35:04Lucha Gods are going to listen,
35:06keep that guy down.
35:08Six!
35:10The gods of the seven Aztec tribes
35:12watching over this battle.
35:14Is this it?
35:16Nine!
35:18Nine! Oh!
35:20Cuerno barely up and the fight continues.
35:29It's Valentine's Day coming up.
35:31There's no love lost between
35:33these two luchadores.
35:39Don't leave him down.
35:41Don't turn your back, man.
35:43Come on, Phoenix.
35:45A little bit of a slow count there.
35:47Well, Phoenix has taken a big beating,
35:49so now adrenaline is what comes into play.
35:52Notice how the referee has stopped his count.
35:55Cuerno is up.
35:57Wow!
35:59Kick to the thigh.
36:01That'll prevent Phoenix from doing
36:03pretty much most of his offense
36:05with a deep thigh bruise like that.
36:06Just call it.
36:08Arrow from the depths of hell.
36:11Can Cuerno reach it from here?
36:13Oh!
36:22Rock guy's got nothing on King Cuerno.
36:30Two!
36:32Both luchadores down now.
36:33The count applies to both.
36:35Four!
36:37Cuerno is up.
36:39Five!
36:41Referee still counts for Phoenix.
36:43Six!
36:45Cuerno's looking for something here.
36:47What's he doing?
36:52Let's go, Phoenix!
36:53Let's go, Phoenix!
37:06Like a dumpster!
37:08Boom!
37:10Come on, Phoenix!
37:12Holy shit!
37:14Holy shit!
37:16Holy shit!
37:18Holy shit!
37:20Holy shit!
37:21Holy shit!
37:23Holy shit!
37:25Holy shit!
37:27No!
37:29As if that wasn't enough,
37:31Cuerno understands
37:33what kind of luchador Phoenix is.
37:35Cuerno understands what kind of fighter
37:37is in the heart of Phoenix.
37:39Cuerno wants to finish his rival now.
37:41Wow!
37:43No way!
37:46Wait, wait.
37:48Cuerno just...
37:49What's he doing?
37:51Cuerno just stopped the referee's count.
37:55I know what you're thinking.
37:57Yes, he hit him in the groin.
38:00What's he doing?
38:02Cuerno's so calculated
38:04and he knows his land so well.
38:14This is insane.
38:17This is insane.
38:20In this dirty, vicious jungle,
38:23King Cuerno
38:25Oh my God!
38:27is the king of the hunt.
38:30And Phoenix is about to be sent
38:33to the depths of hell.
38:35The fans
38:37are just as bloodthirsty
38:39as anybody who's gotten to that ring.
38:41Only in the Lucha Temple
38:43are you gonna find that man.
38:45The believers on their feet
38:47anticipating the carnage.
38:50No way.
38:52German suplex
38:54blocked by Phoenix kicking his legs.
38:56Again.
38:58Wow!
39:00Oh, Phoenix breaks. Cross kick.
39:02And perhaps Cuerno may be hoisted
39:04by his own baton.
39:06What are you doing?
39:08Why is he putting his legs on the line
39:10like this man?
39:12Because this is Lucha Underground
39:14and that's what we do.
39:15And that's what we do.
39:26All of this is legal
39:29and almost encouraged here in the temple.
39:32Oh shit!
39:34Oh!
39:44Phoenix deploring the referee to start the count.
39:47Referee is up to 2.
39:493
39:514
39:535
39:556
39:577
39:598
40:019
40:0410
40:06Here's your winner
40:08Phoenix!
40:12Fans
40:14as if you'd expect anything else
40:16out of these two Luchadores
40:18as if you'd expect anything else
40:20out of Lucha Underground
40:22Phoenix is victorious
40:24and Bill Fuertes is pissed off.
40:28Now it begs the question
40:30does Phoenix now earn another shot
40:33at the Gift of the Gods Championship
40:36and if so
40:38is Bill Fuertes next?
40:40For Vampiro, I'm Matt Stryker
40:42and for all the believers in the temple
40:45this is Lucha Underground!
40:49Good night everybody!
41:03Good night.
41:17So
41:19what do you got for me?
41:22This chick here
41:24Katrina
41:26she's given the crew an open invitation to compete.
41:29The crew?
41:31Yeah
41:32and I was getting pretty close
41:34to Blue Demon Jr. as well
41:36before he retired back to Miami.
41:38How many times do I have to tell you
41:40Officer Reyes
41:42I don't want to hear any more convoluted stories
41:44about Chavo Guerrero
41:46Deaths with Mexico
41:48or Mr. Sisko.
41:50What I want to know are the whereabouts
41:52of Dario Cueto.
41:55No one's seen him for months.
41:59This isn't my fault.
42:00I wanted to bring him in
42:02when he made his brother murder Bale.
42:09Well this case is a lot bigger
42:11than some street thug getting killed.
42:14Are you pulling me out?
42:18No.
42:20You're in too deep.
42:22But I'm sending someone else in.
42:27Well it looks like I have to clean up your mess.
42:31You two work together
42:33but as far as anyone at the temple is concerned
42:36you don't know each other.
42:38Hell, pretend you hate each other.
42:41That won't be a problem.
42:43And remember
42:45you have one mission
42:47and one mission only.
42:49Bring down Dario Cueto.
