Background

 

On August 17th 2014, the landscape of professional wrestling changed forever. An unkown Dario Cueto showed up at AAA Triplemanía XXII and announced the opening of the temple and laid down a challenge to any luchador who thought they were good enough to come and prove themselves.

 

Since then Lucha Underground has taken the wrestling world by storm and the fan base has grown exponentially. With an eclectic range of wrestlers, both Luchadors from Mexico (largely from AAA) and wrestlers from all over the world, it has become an unmissable weekly wrestling show.

 

In 2017 the show runners were able to strike a deal with Netflix that has offered them a much larger audience than ever before and as the show returns from it’s Season 3 mid-season break, all eyes are on the temple to see where the world of Lucha Underground goes next.

 

Author Notes

 

This diary is my attempt at recreating the magic of my favourite promotion. For anybody not familiar with the show this diary may seem a little strange, but because it is produced like a TV show the concept of kayfabe can be a little blurred but everything that happens within the shows ‘world’ is part of the story. Also any conversations or interactions had behind closed doors are just that, unlike WWE where everything in the show is filmed for the audience to see.

 

I will start with the roster available as of the tapings of the second half of season 3 and will largely stick to the starting storylines though a few changes will have to be made simply to translate it to game world (for example the Mack vs Mundo all night long match will not be happening.)

What Black Lotus is saying roughly translates to “It is time for the Black Lotus Triad to return to the temple, Dario didn’t see it and neither did Pentagon Dark but now everybody is aware of just how powerful we are.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> She then continues to talk adding “Doku may have become weak and abandoned us, but the Triad only grows stronger and there will always be another.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Black Lotus then blows out the candles and plunges the room into darkness.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Segment rating: 62 </span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Logos/Lucha%20Underground_zps2omkalpx.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Non-wrestling%20renders/Dario%20Cueto_zps2bbxkfp5.jpg</span><span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Renders/Penta%20el%200M_alt_zpsom7ez3jd.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:12px;">Dario Cueto is sat in his office staring at the large key he uses to control his brother Matanza Cueto, when the door opens abruptly and Pentagon Dark walks in. Pentagon immediately explains that he is no longer willing to wait and that he wants a chance at the Lucha Underground Championship and he won’t wait a day longer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Dario looks at him and then smirks, before sipping his scotch, he then explains that he has not forgotten the time that Pentagon Dark tried to break his arm, nor has he forgotten what he did to his brother so he will not just be handing him anything.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Pentagon Dark does not seem to take this news well, before Cueto continues on saying that if he wants to face the leader of WorldWide Underground then he has to defeat every member of the group starting next week with the DareWolf. But since Pentagon doesn’t have an opponent for tonight, he’ll find him two and the match is next.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Segment Rating: 55</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Logos/Lucha%20Underground_zps2omkalpx.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43779" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:24px;">Pentagon Dark vs Daga & Ricky Mandel </span></p></div><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Renders/Penta%20el%200M_alt_zpsom7ez3jd.jpg</span> <span style="font-size:36px;">VS</span> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Renders/Daga_zpsxtsci4qc.jpg</span><span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Renders/Ricky%20Mandel_zpsxohkfccu.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:12px;">Daga & Ricky Mandel are two of the few regulars in the temple that it is fair to say have not made a connection with the believers, Daga started off positively but never really got much of a reaction and Ricky Mandel has just lost match after match and even fell victim to an arm breaker from his opponent Pentagon Dark in the past. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> This match threw up zero surprises, Daga & Mandel may have had the numbers advantage but Pentagon Dark was clearly in a bad mood and his opponents, or perhaps more accurately, his victims felt the full force of that. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> The match came to an abrupt halt when Pentagon Dark hit Mandel with a package piledriver to secure the bell.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> After the match finished, Pentagon Dark then proceeded to gesture “Cero Miedo” before breaking Mandel’s arm for a second time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Winner: Pentagon Dark</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Finish: Pinfall via package piledriver </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Match time: 6:43</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Rating: 43 </span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p> [/Quote]</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Logos/Lucha%20Underground_zps2omkalpx.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43779" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:24px;">Dante Fox vs Killshot</span> </p></div><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Renders/AR%20Fox_zpslxhtfgvx.jpg</span> <span style="font-size:36px;">VS</span> <span>http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg542/KanyeToThe1/Renders/Shane%20Strickland_alt_zpsiaf1r1rg.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:12px;">Considering just how much violence we have seen between this pair of bitter rivals, there is still so much that we do not know about the pair and while this match was never going to answer any of those questions it was certainly going to serve as a reminder of just how much they hate each other. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Killshot set the pace for the match when he delivered a stiff running knee that sent Fox straight out of the ring, Killshot then climbed out onto the apron before hitting a springboard moonsault.

<span style="font-size:18px;">Lucha Underground News and Rumours </span></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:12px;">- The believers saw a new face in the temple this week as Lio Rush debuted, no word on his official name yet but that will no doubt become apparent in the coming weeks. Rush is a 22 year old independent wrestler and has teamed with Ricochet (Prince Puma) in the past and that is reportedly when he came on their radar.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;">

- Lucha Underground writers have put out feelers to try and find a replacement for Kairi Hojo in the Black Lotus Triad. Mayu Iwatani and Io Shirai are both happy to return but as Kairi has already signed a written deal with WWE that starts at the end of the month, which means they now need to find a replacement. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;">

- The writing team is also deeply concerned with the prospect of losing a lot of their big names as the exclusive contracts for Ricochet, Pentagon Jr, Rey Fénix and more all come to an end at the end of the season and there are serious doubts as to whether they might go elsewhere. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;">

- Ricky Mandel has suggested he is unhappy with the push he is receiving and constantly doing jobs whenever he is actually used. Though his less than stellar performance on TV this week probably won’t help his standing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;">

- Long term viewers of the show may remember Night Claw, a gimmick that was portrayed once by Octagon Jr. but he never returned after a very messy argument with AAA, well they are considering reusing the gimmick without the wrestler. It is very clear that the company were high on the idea at the time, so it would make sense to try again with a less problematic wrestler. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;">

The same person that stopped the fight last week then appears as Killshot calls him by the name Rush. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Dante Fox pretty quickly arrives and Rush stands between them, he then tells both men that they all used to be best friends and he can’t stand by and watch them tear each other apart again. He then says that he has spoken to Dario and entered them in the Trios tournament. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Neither man looks at all happy at this revelation and both storm off in opposite directions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Segment rating: 64</span></p><p><span

completely focused as he does a few final stretches and looks completely in the zone as he waits for the monster Matanza Cueto. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Joey Ryan then appears at the top of the stairs and Rey just looks confused as Joey makes his way down the ramp. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> It soon becomes clear that El Jefe completely misled Rey, who promptly takes it out on the sleaziest man in wrestling, as Mysterio foregoes a lot of his normal high flying style instead focusing on stiff kicks to beat his opponent. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Rey does give the fans what they came to see at least, as he hits the 619 to pick up the victory though he looks so far from happy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span

style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Catrina explains to Mil Muertes that he made a good start by exposing Vampiro as a weak mortal and now he needs to turn his attention back to his long-time rival Prince Puma. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Before leaving, Catrina adds that if he cannot beat Puma in a grave consequences match then this time Catrina will not bring him back as there is another waiting to return who could definitely stop Puma. </span></p><p><span

Jack Evans with him to the ring and as the two cut an air guitar performance, there were certainly questions as to how serious the pair were taking this match but that mood quickly changed as Pentagón Dark appeared out of the smoke and immediately begin to light up PJ’s chest with stinging chops. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> Black showed that once it came down to business he was more than able to hang with anyone and used his impressive arsenal of aerial moves combined with his martial arts background to more than hold his own. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> The match came to an abrupt and impressive end when Black went for a senton, but while in the air Pentagón Dark was able to kip up and catch the South African wrestler before hitting him with the Pentagon Driver to end the match. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span

<span style="font-size:12px;">After the match Pentagón Dark clearly was not finished and went for the arm breaker on Black, before Jack Evans climbed up onto the apron and distracted the man with zero fear.</span></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:12px;">This distraction allowed Johnny and Taya to quickly pull Black out of the ring, the group then considered attacking Pentagón Dark but decided against it before quickly retreated.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"> The show closed as Pentagón turned to the camera and gestured “Cero Miedo.”</span></p><p><span
