Lucha Underground: Fate Worse Than Death

Blodyxe · January 1, 2021

Fate Worse Than Death

Matt Striker On Where Lucha Underground Will Be In 10 Years

"Well, my grandmother used to say if you want to hear God laugh, you tell him your plans. Nobody knows the future, but what I do believe and I’m comfortable in saying is that Lucha Underground will be woven into the fabric of Los Angeles sports and wrestling."

Vampiro On Why Lucha Underground Was Discontinued

"Lack of communication. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. 90% of the roster is in AEW and the other 10% is in WWE. The writers are gone. The production crew is gone. The company is split. I would pretty much put my money on it's over and done."

***

The voices of Lucha Underground made their respective statements just two years apart, and they were both correct.

A lot can happen in 730 days, and unfortunately, time was especially cruel to Lucha Underground. One of the hottest things in wrestling just fizzled out and was forgotten by its management, who did not see eye to eye for a long time. On the other hand, "the believers" never forgot about the show and the people who made it the hotbed of wrestling action and drama. Some of them still hold on to the hope of seeing their favorite luchadores back in action. Unfortunately, even the magic of Lucha Underground can be undone by harsh reality.

"Good shows sometimes go away for business decisions. Sometimes shitty shows live on and on and on, for business reasons." - Eric Van Wagenen

Lucha Underground didn’t bring or attract a lot of money and generated modest ratings by airing on a small, niche network. On top of that, some shady business practices made the biggest names of The Temple unhappy. Some of them had to fight tooth and nail to escape contractual hostage. King Cuerno, Ivelisse, Kobra Moon, Joey Ryan, XO Lishus, The Mack, Texano, and many more got into nasty legal disputes with the company.

"Great show, great people, every time you go it’s fun, they treated us very well, and everything. But just that contract part was just too unrealistic, unfortunately." - Ivelisse

"Lucha Underground will always have a special place in the hearts of everyone who fought there." - Hernandez

Surprisingly, even people who had been scammed and lied to have good memories of their time in Boyle Heights, and many are grateful for the opportunity given to them. For this reason, Lucha Underground has been compared to Extreme Championship Wrestling. It brought a new attitude to pro wrestling, showcased the best talent from all around the world, and sparked a revolution when the business needed it most.

Sadly, Lucha Underground also shared a lot of the worst World Championship Wrestling traits... it was a television company running the wrestling company, not the wrestling company running a television show.

"I loved LU and if it ran more constantly, I would probably still be there. It's tough because it's not a wrestling company and is run more like a TV show and that's where the problem was." - PJ Black

All details matter here, and together they formed a poisonous drink that slowly paralyzed Lucha Underground. The most innovative show spent years in a coma, and such fate is worse than death.

"Personally I think it's dead. But I hope not." - Chris De Joseph

***

They say time cures all wounds, but in this case, time makes the wounds hurt more. Lucha Underground never got the closure it deserved, and it is stuck in the limbo between the Land of the Living and the Land of the Dead.

"The show deserves to have its legacy be intact. The legacy of this show is important to the wrestling business, and I don't want to see it fizzle out. I hope that the bigwigs up top that are actually controlling this decision and have to agree with each other to make it happen, can find some way to get the band back together one last time, get that locker room back together, have everybody be on the same page, and really send it out with a bang." - Justin "Outlaw" Harvey, Masks, Mats & Mayhem,

You can’t disagree with Justin about the legacy part, and although it all might be just a pipe dream, Lucha Underground is truly a place where amazing things can happen.

But will they? That is the real question...

And it's ooooon!
Eager to see what you will do with that buddy, count me as a Believer

Thanks, brother! Excited to get started after rewatching all 4 seasons and generating ideas in the literal underground, while commuting to work and back home.

If you think about it, I just completed the pentagon of LU diaries, so all I have to say to myself is "Cero Miedo" now. Shout out to kanegan’s Return to the Temple, BigJ’s Bootstrap Paradox, falling_star’s Alternate Reality, and Rising Like a Phoenix thread from HRTVAndrew. The more - the merrier!

I think I am the only one who decided to work with what was left of Lucha Underground by the end of season 4, so this is will be my unique selling proposition - semi-realistic continuity of S4. Would also like to clarify that I will not reveal any in-game details just yet, to keep the surprises in secret. Updates coming soon

Issue #1

Lucha Underground Breaks Twitter Silence!

Lucha Underground is bigger than life, and bigger than just a wrestling show! The main creative forces behind this company decided to tell the stories that were abruptly cut short through a series of graphic novels, similar to those believers could read when the promotion was white hot. The first issue brings us back to the night after Ultima Lucha Cuatro, and folks, you don't want to miss this one!

Issue #1

”The Night After Ultima Lucha Cuatro…”

The abandoned Ice Temple is colder than usual. No fans, no fighters - the only thing you can spot here is Matanza's dead body. His black heart was ripped straight out of his chest. Now it is on the floor, pumping ominously in the puddle of blood.

The uncomfortable silence that allowed us to hear the heartbeat is interrupted by the commotion of The Order. Agent Winter and Antonio Cueto are heard talking in the distance, and Vampiro stumbles just behind them. The trio enters the crime scene... Antonio looks away when Vampiro approaches the lifeless body of Matanza and turns it over. This Cueto family member is certainly dead.

Vamp says that they don't have much time, and he has to hold the ritual quickly…

- I need help. Without it, my ritual knowledge is useless.

- You said you were a priest! We can't let some outsider in on our business!!

- I called a trustworthy man from Louisiana, he can help our mission.

- That’s not for you to decide. The Lord said no outsiders, so you will have to do it yourself!

- Are you sure?

- What is the worst thing that can happen? Matanza will die again? Just do your thing.

Agent Winter says that reviving Matanza is not their priority right now.

“Antonio, we need to take care of other business too. The Lord wanted us to find a new host. Any ideas?”

Antonio clutches his walking stick and says he has something on his mind. As the agent and the promoter leave the nauseating room, Vampiro discovers the black heart of Matanza. He picks it up and feels the pulsating power inside of it. He licks his dried lips, hungry and thirsty for that energy... but puts it in a safe place, at least for now.

***

Current Lucha Underground Trios champions are celebrating their recent success in the Reptile Lair.

Kobra Moon is sitting on the throne, watching on as King Daga dubs Jeremiah Snake's shoulders with a massive sword. Jeremiah has proven himself to Kobra Moon, and therefore he is proclaimed as her knight. His life is now dedicated to protecting her life.

It is not clear if Jeremiah understands what is happening, as he’s in some deep trance. The poison in his brain has affected his behavior, he's "not here", you could say. That doesn't concern Kobra in the slightest - she has the gold, and she is as powerful as she ever has been. Daga gives the sword to Jeremiah, and he starts wielding it like a maniac, almost cutting Daga's head off!! The queen rises up, hisses, and puts her newly promoted soldier on the short leash...

"Don't ever give the sword to this idiot!"

Daga nods and says "yes, my queen..." before picking up the deadly weapon and putting it away. It doesn't look like the group is operating on equal terms, but they never did so before. Kobra slaps the spit out of Jeremiah’s mouth so he would understand he did something wrong.

***

We go from the dark and cold snake pit to the vibrant colors of the Pink Motel. Presumably one of the numbers here belonged to Taya and Johnny, the recently married couple.

But something went wrong, and Mr. Mundo left his new wife in a hurry. Taya doesn't seem to mind, but perhaps there's no Taya anymore, as she was possessed by the spirit of the doll named Rosa, that manipulated and spoiled a once meek Ricky Mundo. Taya finds Johnny’s wedding ring, and a little note under it.

"I guess marriage really does change people!

Not sure if I can spend the rest of my life with an abusive wife. Right now I need some time alone, please don't try to say you're sorry for throwing me around in the locker room... Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I will be more wanted in some other locker room. Or maybe I would be better off filming movies with my A-lister friends? I guess that's none of your business now.

I am going to send your stuff from MY dojo to your old address.

P.S. I never liked your smelly dogs.

The Mayor of Slamtown and your lovely ex-husband,

John E. Mundo"

Taya lets out a demonic laughter and shreds the note to pieces. She raises her head and looks in the mirror on the wall, admiring herself. She's not someone's wife, she’s not even a "Perfect Woman". She's a God! And that pathetic little man can run all he can, but he won't escape her wrath.

Suddenly, someone is knocking on the door.

- Taya, it's PJ. Can I talk to you?

- ...

- Come on, I know you're in there. Johnny doesn’t answer my calls, what happened?

Taya opens the door and lets PJ Black in. Like a good friend of the couple, he's worried about their relationship. Worldwide Underground has already lost Jack, so this break up would be too much for the group. As PJ is expressing his concerns to Taya, the possessed woman grabs Black by the throat and pushes him to a wall. His legs are above the ground, he’s dangling in the air. Taya keeps him up like that for a bit, and then leaves the motel room with only a creepy doll in her hand. PJ dusts himself off and registers what the heck just happened… his entire life flashed before his eyes. Worldwide Underground seems to be donskeys, and "The Darewolf'' can call himself "The Lone Wolf'' from now on.

The lightning strikes!

***

Son of Havoc is sitting in the bar, bullsh!tting with The Mack, and they don't care about no lightning.

Both men picked up huge victories and can rightfully enjoy their beverage in peace. Mack downs some beers, while Son of Havoc just looks at his glass. Mack says that he has never seen Havoc drink, and there’s an explanation to it.

"Man, I am actually straight edge. Everyone thinks that if I’m a biker, then I must be drinking, but I never had a thing for booze. Actually, that’s why I left the Invisible Cult. One of the club members, Son of Anarchy, has crashed into the truck full speed while being intoxicated. When it was time to honor his life, I refused to drink, because alcohol killed him. Word after word, I stormed out and went my own way, but did not give up my colors. That’s why Son of Madness came here for my vest.”

Mack just lets out "damn" and asks if he should stop drinking? Son of Havoc says it’s his own choice. He will not judge others for drinking, but wants to remind Mack that every action has consequences. Mack has a frown and asks if he can down his glass then? Sure.

Time flies in a good company, and both guys agree that they did pretty well in Lucha Underground, given how they were branded as outcasts at first. They remember their match at Ultima Lucha Dos, talk about Killshot's departure and their brief time as the trios champions. KIllshot was a pain in the a*s, but Mack is going to miss him. Upon mentioning the Trios titles, Son of Havoc remembers that he has to pick up Ivelisse and her new "friends" from the hospital and jumps up. Mack tells him to be the safe on the road and waves back to his friend.

Son of Havoc hits the door. "The Black Beauty" bike is gleaming in the light of the moon, and the biker from the open road quickly hops on it. He tries to start his steel horse, but there's no give...

"Hey champ, need a ride? C'mon Havoc, this is no weather for a bike ride!"

Famous B rolls up near the biker in his trusty vehicle and offers to give him a free ride. At first Havoc is reluctant, but knowing how loud Ivelisse would be if he did not pick her up, he takes up B's offer. As Havoc gets into the car, Famous B winks to Texano, who was looking on from a distance. Texano throws out some sling from the bike, spits on the ground and hits the saloon doors. Mack is about to have some company!

***

The creepy Los Angeles underground tunnels are usually inhabited by lizard people, but tonight this is a meeting place for Dragon Azteca Jr, Aerostar, and King Cuerno. Speaking of Dragon Azteca Jr, he hobbles to his friends empty-handed. Cuerno immediately confronts Dragon Azteca about the Gauntlet.

- WHERE IS THE GAUNTLET!??

- Listen, I gave it to Black Lotus so she could kill Matanza, but then... Jake Strong attacked me from behind and took it with him.

- I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! WHY DID WE HAVE TO BE SO CHIVALROUS??

Cuerno has his head in the arms and says this is it, they've lost the war. Aerostar is also disappointed, but he's not yelling at Dragon, he just drops his head. Somehow that's even worse...

Aerostar asks Cuerno to calm down, but "The Hunter" lashes back, saying that he will calm down if they go back in time and fix everything. But it's not that easy, sadly. Cuerno is mad, and he says that he will go hunt Jake Strong alone and that's it! No help, no alliance to save the world, just him and his killer instincts! Aerostar and Dragon Azteca try to stop him, but Cuerno is too stubborn.

"Don't stand in my way, or your heads will become the souvenirs on the wall of my cabin!"

Even if Dragon Azteca wanted to stop Cuerno, he would have troubles with that, since his ankle is broken. He says that he's sorry, while Aerostar is deep in thought... He has an idea. And he needs to get in touch with a good friend of his. Luckily, he's somewhere close.

***

Meanwhile Marty "The Moth" Martinez is crying in the toilet.

The Lucha Underground championship meant so much to him, and now that the gold has been taken away from him, he feels lost. Marty headbutts the stall in hysteria and his disturbed voice is echoing across the empty bathroom. Marty leaves the cabin and goes on to wash his face. When he opens his eyes to look in the mirror, he sees a dark figure standing behind him... Reklusa.

Marty sobs, giggles, then snaps and grabs the woman by her hair! He's spouting spooky monkey talk while dragging her around. She tries to fight off, but Marty holds her down.

"You have FAILED ME... I'VE LOST BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO LATE… LOST because of YOU!! Hahaha... You know what my sister used to do with spiders?? She asked me to flush them down the toilet. She thought it was a bad omen to kill spiders, and she believed that if I just put them under water, they would be ok. Let's find out if she was right... HAHAHA!!"

Marty drags Reklusa, and she tries to fight off, but has no chance against a much stronger Marty. He shoves Reklusa into one of the cabins, and judging by the sounds of struggle, he's shoving Reklusa's head in the water!! That sick freak! Reklusa begs for mercy, but Martinez is not listening, putting her head down. We hear a loud flush and the struggle ends. Marty leaves the stall, his dirty hands trembling. You can only hear Marty’s breath and the pin dropping in the sink.

"Marty was right! MARTY IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!"

How twisted can you be to do something like that!? At first Marty is laughing hysterically, fixing his hair with stained hands, but then he realizes what he has just done, freaks out, and runs into the pitch darkness of the night.

That's purely awesome buddy!

Really intrigued by what is the deal with Famous B, Mack & SOH (loved that we FINALLY had an explanation for the lazy Son Of Madness story)

Jeremiah looks like he will rebel and I can't wait for him to collect snake heads

Will Vampiro be able to resurrect Matanza? Where are the Gods? So many questions!

HRTVAndrew · January 2, 2021

I love how we're all taking different spins on Lucha Underground. Every one of them is so much fun.

Lucha Underground's Comic Book Gets First Feedback

The graphic novel is now heavily involved in "Being The Elite" series, where Cody tries to hide his fanboy reaction from his friends and family, albeit unsuccessfully.

Just in the latest episode Brandi Rhodes got mad at Cody for dismissing her high heels defile and later completely ignoring her new lingerie. Later Cody locked himself in the hotel bathroom to enjoy his reading in peace, but was disturbed by Adam Page, who had his own needs after drinking too much beer. When Cody was asked what took him so long there, "The American Nightmare" answered "what do married men do locked up in the bathroom, honestly?"

In the end, grumpy Dustin Rhodes just called Cody a freaking mark. This over the top storyline gives Lucha Underground some much needed eyeballs and a slim hope for the brighter future. According to the source from the AEW locker room, Lucha Underground alumni are now pondering over a "One Night Stand" type of reunion show, but it's unlikely to go down due to contractual agreements and talent exclusivity rules set by the elite company.

That's purely awesome buddy!

Thank you so much! I will just say that although Famous B and The Mack had issues with LU business wise, I just couldn't leave them out. Famous B is the best comedic manager that has ever appeared on TV imo. And Mack is a baller in the ring, plus a rare babyface that I genuinely care for.

Glad that you have liked this real-life inspired addition to Havoc's character. He's a lifer, and I personally thought Son of Madness was great for the short time he had in the mix. Shame his story was so brief, something to fix, I guess?

Really pleased that you have liked the first issue, man. More to come soon!

I love how we're all taking different spins on Lucha Underground. Every one of them is so much fun.

100%! It is strange that we are writing about it in such numbers only now, can't remember any LU diaries in the TEW 2016 diary section. By the way, I liked both of your episodes, and can't wait for more

falling_star · January 3, 2021

Really good stuff man, I love how popular Lucha Underground is in the dynasty section all of a sudden and how we're all going in very different but equally interesting directions with it.

tobin834 · January 3, 2021

Enjoying this setup and beginning. I never really watched Lucha Underground outside of the first few episodes, but I really liked the concept. This has me interested and excited because I know some of the workers but I still have some to be introduced to. I'll be following.

kanegan · January 3, 2021

This is terrific and in fact every take is terrific. When I started my LU diary back in July, I never thought it would become so popular but now seeing that so many new diaries have come out tackling LU, it makes me feel great. Your setup is fantastic.

In other news - water is wet, and Jim Cornette is ranting about stuff. The keyboard wars between naysayers and believers are hotting up, while Papa Cueto himself gets in on the fun, pinning his 2018 tweet.

I LOVE THE GRAHPIC NOVEL concept to start this, nice spin on Lucha Underground and love the potential directions you can go with this. A lot of me wants to see this remain a "graphic novel" type concept with matches here and there.

I am for a AEW/LU crossover event, but personally would like it to be a one-off so certain characters (Jack Evans, Lucha Bros, Luchasaurus, Cage can get written off).

Very intrigued, and definitely following.

Issue #2 - Seeing Snakes

Issue #2

"Seeing Snakes"

Texano enters the bar. It's pretty late, but you can still find heavy drinkers here. One of them is The Mack, looks like he's enjoying his own company. The bar owner just pours him more and more...

- Tequila, por favor!

- Shiiiieeet, where did you come from? I thought you bounced to Mexico or something.

- Back to win gold!

- Good luck then, I'm not going to stop you. For all I know, I'm done with Lucha Underground.

Mack prepares to leave, but Texano stops him. He challenges Mack to a "drink off", egging him on. Texano says that if Mack outdrinks him, he will pay for his booze. Let's drink then, cowboy!

One hour, two hours. Mack is not giving up. He's two seconds away from puking, but he doesn't want to lose. Texano says that americans can't drink, and gets a "bird" for an answer! Mack goes for another round, but there are limits even to his standards. Intoxicated out of his mind, Mack gives up. He was so drunk that he didn't even catch Texano cheating for the last hour.

"Pay up, Mack!"

Damn, Mack is on the rocks, he has lost his wallet. Texano hides it in his vest and says he can lend Mack some dinero, but he needs to sign a receipt. Cowboy finds a paper and a pen he carried in his hat all this time, and slides it over. Dizzy Mack leaves his signature, and throws up on the table. The bar owner finally had enough, so he confronts the duo about the mess.

"If ya two thugs don't clean up this mess, then everybody dies!"

Texano headbutts the bar owner, grabs his bullrope and the paper, then walks off. Leave the change to yourself, patron! The bar owner is holding on to the cut on his head and kicks out drunk Mack on the street to feel better about himself. Gotta give him props, he's one hardcore grandpa!

***

Meanwhile Ricky Mundo raids Taya's motel room, looking for Rosa. Where is she? He can’t find her anywhere, and he’s on the verge of losing his ~hit. What is he supposed to do without her guidance?? Who should he listen to now?? He's scared.

"Looking for something?"

Ricky has a jump scare, he didn’t know somebody else was in this room. PJ Black says that all this mess happened because of Ricky.

"You destroyed Johnny’s wedding out of spite, and turned Taya into a raging b!tch! You got jealous of their romance and YOU orchestrated their break up. If that wasn't enough, you killed my brochacho Jack by letting out Matanza!"

PJ jumps on Ricky and they start fighting, choking and slamming each other into the walls. It's very late, and there are people living in the nearby rooms, so it comes as no surprise that someone has decided to call the cops. Those two do not even own this number, so they are in trouble.

Knock-knock, open up the door!

PJ and Ricky look at each other and decide to play up to some bizarre scenario to avoid a conflict with the officers. They are not very good liars though. PJ struggles to come up with a story, so Ricky hits the cop in the huevos and decides to flee the busted hotel room! Bad move, as another cop was standing right behind the door. The man in blue trips Ricky, and hits him in the ribs a couple of times for good measure. Cops tell that both jackasses are coming with them, and spray PJ with mace.

Just because they can.

***

Famous B and Son of Havoc are rolling through the rain, passing by a police car.

Havoc playfully mocks B for getting blasted by Chavo Guerrero and Shaul, but the enthusiastic promoter says that Guerreros will get their due soon, and that he's more concerned about Havoc's future. It's not bright, oh no-no-no. Famous B pitches his stable to Son of Havoc, but the biker is not interested. He still remembers how Famous B screwed him back at Ultima Lucha Dos. Famous B says that is exactly why Son of Havoc never won the big one - he takes everything personally, and Famous B is a businessman, just doing his thing. If Havoc had him as his manager, he would main event Ultima Lucha Tres after winning that Unique Opportunity! Son of Havoc says that freedom is everything to him, and he wants to win the Lucha Underground championship as his own man, then ride away into the sunset.

"Havoc, you're so corny, man. If you really want to win the title, here's my card. Call me when you are ready. We've had our problems in the past, but success will make our relationship sweeter than ever! Remember... 4-2-3, Get FAAME! That's how we roll!"

Havoc reluctantly takes the card and thanks Famous B for the free ride. Famous B says it wasn't a free ride, Havoc now owes him one. The biker steps up to the hospital where Ivelisse and XO Lishus spent a few hours. XO leans on the wall of the facility, smoking a cigarette. Guevara must still be inside, recovering after a Mandible Claw courtesy of The White Rabbit. Ivelisse has a frown on her annoyed face.

- Since when are you in cahoots with Famous B?

- I’m not, but he offered a ride, so… you okay?

- Do I look like I am ok? NO! I'm not okay!! YOU ARE LATE! And where’s your bike!?

- Listen...

- No, you listen! Sammy bleeds from his mouth uncontrollably and Cueto is acting like nothing has happened!!

- Well, that sucks.

- SUCKS?? You know what? YOU suck. Show some sensitivity and compassion at last!

- Hey, they are your friends, not mine!

- Oh, that's right. You think you're better than them. You're disgusting! You know what? I'm sick of it. I am going back to ask for my release! Can’t wait to start a new chapter in my life!

Ivelisse also says that someone else agreed to pick them up, so they don’t need him anymore. She adds that considering how it went between them last time, it would be best if they never see each other again!

"You tell him, girl!" - yells XO.

Red Chevy drives up to the hospital, so XO and Ivelisse quickly jump into it.

The window comes down, revealing a lollipop sucking Joey Ryan.

He drops his glasses and winks at the guy, saying "buy the ticket, take the ride", perhaps referring to Ivelisse... Son of Havoc is dumbfounded, what did he do to deserve this? He can't believe he left his bike for this BS.

Downtown Los Angeles has some serious nightlife going on! We're at a loud party now.

Most of the guests here are dangling to the flickering lights and chaotic music. Most of them are on their last legs. Marty "The Moth" Martinez though is sitting on the floor in the VIP lounge, with his back pushed against the wall. He always liked those bright lights, they give him the "good feels" just like that "flour" on the table nearby. You know a real moth likes some flour... Besides, nobody can hear him snickering and sobbing, and even if someone did - they would not care. The scene gets less crowded, but one gal is the queen of the floor tonight. She doesn't have any sense of rhythm, but she's having so much fun and energy that it doesn't matter.

Smoking a cigarette, she is drunkenly shaking in this commotion, rubbing her womanly sides against other people with no hesitation. Wearing leopard-printed pyjamas, this party animal gets Marty's attention. Who is she? Martinez doesn't even have to ask, as the bouncers tell "Martina" to cut it off, or they will throw her out again. Martina takes a puff, exhaling the smoke in the faces of bodyguards... and twerks on them.

"I did not come to LA to sit around, ya dry shite!"

And so Martina is led to the exits. Marty decides to stick up for this woman and confront the bouncers. Not waiting for security guards to acknowledge his existence, Marty shoves one of them face first through a glass panel and sends the second one flying through the entrance door. Martina is still gyrating while watching this carnage, she's entertained. Marty throws his hair away and looks at the girl... seductively.

"Hey love, wanna lick me arse for 100 bucks?"

Marty starts laughing and quickly agrees. They leave together until the bouncers regain consciousness. Some people break up, some people find each other, and Moth just jumps from one pretty young thing to another. This promises to be a beautiful and healthy relationship!

Antonio Cueto is busy in his office, figuring out how he can attract new fighters to a company that is effectively on hiatus.

He looks at the discarded Gift of the Gods title on his desk and has a lightbulb moment. He's going to arrange a match for the vacant title, that's brilliant! He tells Winter that he will contact the best fighters from all over the world, and the winner will be their new host! They don’t have the time to put Aztec medallions up for grabs, but the title will help find the fighters faster.

Winter likes the idea, and says that The Lord would probably want to have some input into the recruiting process. Actually, he had this idea… Why don't they create a perfect man? A genetically superior human with improved intellect. Turning someone like that into a God sounds fascinating!

Cueto scoffs at Winter, saying that they don’t need any perfect man, they already have "The Perfect Woman"!

***

Danger is lingering in the Snake Lair, and three brave luchadores are stepping into the unknown. Well, it's unknown for two of them... Drago has been here before.

While Drago can't remember everything about his time in this place, he still has some flashbacks that help him lead his good friend Aerostar and Dragon Azteca Jr. to Kobra Moon and her disciples. They came down here to talk, as the stakes are lined up against the ancient Aztec tribes. They need to unite, otherwise The Gods will destroy them all one by one!

Drago, Azteca and Aerostar walk in on Daga eating Kobra Moon out on the throne... The queen covers her legs with a dress and gets all hissy. Understandable. Daga jumps up from his knees and is ready to protect his queen, while Jeremiah Snake sleeps on the floor, probably having a bad dream about something. The floor is all covered in slob…

Dragon Azteca Jr. says that they come with peace. They don't want any fights, they are just looking for a way to unite the ancient Aztec Tribes, because The Gods are getting stronger everyday!

Kobra Moon is not buying that for a second, pointing out that there's no way they can be allies after the whole Drago situation. Aerostar steps in to explain their motives better, but Kobra gets into Aerostar's face and tells all three of them to get out while they still can! He has a staredown with Moon, saying this is bigger than her ego or The Reptile Tribe. Jeremiah wakes up because of all the yelling, and grabs the sword to sneak attack the intruders! He looks to strike Aerostar in the back like a real snake, but the man from the Astros sensed the upcoming danger and avoided his death.

Kobra did not...

One slash was enough to sever the head of the queen right off her shoulders! Everyone freezed for a moment, and Jeremiah dropped the weapon, coming back to his senses. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Daga breaks down near the lifeless body of his queen... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, JEREMIAH? Aerostar has his head in the hands, while Dragon Azteca and Drago look away. But look who's also here!

Taya steps out of the shadows, and picks up a discarded sword. She was here before, killing Vibora in cold blood.

Taya tells Jeremiah to bring her the Trios titles right now, or his head will be at her feet! Snake cowardly obliges and gives up the gold, as other luchadores look on, unsure how to react. Taya tells that Aerostar may travel in time, but she controls it. Daga is already defeated, so he does nothing... Taya walks by him and says that she liked him better when he was a "dog".

"Your b!tch deserved to die, Daga! Love made your heart weak."

With that, Taya leaves the Snake Lair, gold and weaponry in hand. Gods possess all the titles now, and the heroes take another loss. Daga starts crying, holding the hand of the fallen queen. It can't get any worse, can it?

Man it's so awesome on many levels

First of all the comic style pictures are dope

I felt like I was in the bar with Texano & Mack. They should be a really fun duo

So many of my LU favourites are back, from Crane to XO Lishus to Ivelisse. These two with SoH are already my favourite pick for the Trios Championship!

The last bit had everything. Fun, drama, and I'm really intrigued by where the Reptiles, and most importantly Crane/Snake are going. Is Taya taking over Kobra, or did she just came for the gold? What's the deam with the Gods having all the belts? Soooo intrigued

Keep up the good work bro!

This comic book style is so fascinating and Worldwide Underground was one of my favourites IRL. Loving Taya so far.

Kijar · January 5, 2021

I missed you, man. Love me some LU resurgence.

The news comes after Univision announced last month that it had exited its minority position in the network and production studio created by Rodriguez and FactoryMade Ventures. El Rey has steadily lost linear distribution over the past year, with AT&T dropping the channel in January and Charter removing it in September. El Rey launched in December 2013, with Rodriguez describing it as a mainstream network that Hispanics could go to and say, "Wow. I’m the hero of the show. I’m the director. I’m the writer. I’m the producer." People close to El Rey executives hinted that it is quite possible for Robert Rodriguez to pivot into the streaming space. </div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="BigJ" data-cite="BigJ" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="52466" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Man it's so awesome on many levels First of all the comic style pictures are dope I felt like I was in the bar with Texano & Mack.

The Most Dangerous Game

Issue #3

The Most Dangerous Game

Antonio Cueto is sitting in the office, looking over the Trios titles and a gigantic sword that severed the head of Kobra Moon. El Jefe gets a marker and crosses the leader of The Reptile Tribe of his book. Who's left? Cuerno, Dragon Azteca, Marty "The Moth", Mariposa, Paul London, White Rabbit, Mil Muertes… a lot of people. Cueto closes his book and checks the clock, it's been too long without any news on Matanza. Then Antonio hears someone in the corridor, must be Vampiro.

Ivelisse, XO Lishus and Joey Ryan come into the office instead. Antonio expected guests, but not THEM. He looks perplexed... Why are they here? Ivelisse rolls her eyes.

"Why? I mean, it's obvious WHY. We are here to ask for our releases. Let me explain WHY, because people like you don't understand. Here in Lucha Underground minorities are oppressed. We don't get the chances we deserve, we don't get any insurance to cover for injuries we get, and the pay is too low and inconsistent to stay around for so long. We're literally HELD HOSTAGE HERE. Am I right, Joey?"

Joey nods. Antonio didn't know that Joey Ryan was a legal advisor! To him he looks more like a private investigator, you know, like Thomas Magnum. Joey keeps a pokerface, him wearing sunglasses helps a bit with that.

"So you three want your releases? Fine, I'll let you go, but what you said right now is not true. I hate ALL people equally! And just to prove that you're wrong, I'm going to give you another match for the Trios championships tonight, before you leave officially! "Mr. Minority" Joey Ryan is back in action, so now you have no excuse if you lose!"

Ivelisse says that's fine. They will win the titles and walk out from the company with the Trios gold. She was the first Trios champion, and she'll be the last! Antonio smirks, wishing the colorful trio good luck tonight. XO kisses his fingers and slides them across the titles. Joey then offers Cueto a lollipop, but Antonio is too old for that sh!t.

***

Meanwhile Ricky Mundo and PJ Black are sitting in the dark interrogation room, bickering about how it was other man's fault they've got arrested.

PJ asks what the hell Ricky was thinking about, hitting a cop in the balls? What? PJ does it all the time! But not the cops! PJ says he got sprayed because Ricky panicked, Ricky disagrees and kicks the man in the leg. This child play comes to an end as the door to the room opens.

Young man in a uniform comes in, sitting in front of the guys while finishing the last pages of the report. Ricky reads the nametag on the po-po and has a problem holding up his creepy snickering. PJ also smiles...

- What's so funny, guys? Tell me, I want to laugh too.

- Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn't it?

- Yeah, I got enough of that at school and the academy. I'm not an FBI agent, and I don't have enough time to surf... Anyway, you two have a lot of explaining to do.

- I demand an attorney.

- Yeah, shame that you have stabbed one, Ricky Mandel. Or should I say Ricky Mundo?

Jimmy Yuta knows. He came prepared and that makes Ricky nervous...

"I know all about you and even more about your bosses. Our department would gladly tie all of you up, but some big wigs protect your workplace. You're working for some big time criminals, I'll tell you that much. Some of your co-workers belong on a death row, but instead they are enjoying freedom. The rest? A lot of them are dead. Tell me I'm wrong, PJ. Tell me that Jack Evans is alive and well."

PJ's expression changes in a second. They've been taken in not for disturbing the civilian peace by fighting in the motel room, but for other, more inhuman crimes committed by other men. And this guy knows his stuff.

- One thing I don't know is how they get rid of the bodies. People just disappear like they never existed!

- You want us to be your rats?

- No. We already have an undercover agent lurking around that place. Shame he's a massive sleazebag that gives tickets to ladies to flirt with them and confiscate their phones for "forensics".

Joey Ryan. PJ and Ricky exchange some telling looks, surprised by this revelation.

"You might be wondering why I am outing my colleague away like that? It's simple - he's a double agent. He's playing a dangerous game, and I hate to say it, but he is likely to be killed real soon... So yeah, I need your cooperation guys. Work with me, and this little tussle in the motel will be a worry of the past. Help me get into Lucha Underground, and your records will be clean."

Easier said than done. PJ says he has seen Yuta somewhere before, and it wasn’t Point Break. Yuta reveals that he spent the last 6 years honing his wrestling skill, and quite frankly, he feels like he would be a better choice for an undercover agent, no offence to Officer Meehan.

"I will hook you up if you help me find Rosa!" - drops Ricky.

Yuta asks who's Rosa? PJ would facepalm if his hands were not cuffed.

***

"Wake up, Mack. Mack!"

Being hungover sucks, but seeing Son of Havoc's face first thing in the morning is a double whammy. Mack's head hurts as if he got 1000 chair shots from Mil Muertes last night. Partially true...

Son of Havoc asks Mack how much did he drink, but the man doesn't remember. Mack can't even remember that he beat Mil Muertes in a Death match and was kicked out of the bar. Mack asks Havoc about his night too, and finds out that Ivelisse has stood him up for a bunch of sketchy dudes. Both are sitting on the bench with great sadness. Havoc is especially sour because some bastard damaged his bike and he couldn't see it at night. Now he's gotta call someone to fix it...

Mack says that Big Bad Steve looks like someone that can help with that, he saw that guy help fix Famous B's ride before. Different vehicles, but still.

"Man, I actually got an offer to join his group last night. He told me he's going to make me a world champion, but I'm not buying that crap. Can't trust that guy after he screwed me over..."

Mack nods, God knows he will never work with Famous B. Son of Havoc looks at the business card given to him by Famous B and drops it in the trash can. Speak of the devil... Famous B rolls in with a huge smile on his face. Beautiful Brenda is waving to the boys and acts like she normally does, giggling annoyingly.

"Gooooood morning to the future Lucha Underground champion!! Did you have breakfast already? Don't eat, big guy, cause I want you to be hungry for a fight tonight! Yours truly has already arranged you a title match! See, I take great care of my clients!"

Mack thinks that Famous B is talking to Son of Havoc, then has a frown and a question mark for an eyebrow. Are you talking to me??

"Oh come on, big dummy, you have signed a contract last night in that bar behind you. Don't look at me like that. Here. This is your signature and your dried up dinner on the paper, big boy. Smells bad, but it's legitimate!"

Mack looks in disbelief. Did he sign a contract while he was drunk? For HOW many years??

"Mack, I have learned my lesson from Sammy Guevara, so you're just holding a copy now! You belong to Infamous Inc now!! Aren’t you excited?"

Oh boy. Son of Havoc rubs his beard and shakes his head, he never liked Famous B and knew he couldn't trust the guy.

"By the way, Havoc, my offer is still on the table. Just so you know, Ivelisse and her friends are also in the title match, so I'll make them dance for you, pow-pow. If you want, I can even hook you up with Brenda, she likes bikers!! 4-2-3. GET FAME! HAHA, see you later. Mack, don't be late! Ask Havoc for my number!"

Famous B rolls away as Brenda sends Son of Havoc an air kiss. Mack is processing the situation, slowly.

That son of a b!tch Texano screwed him over!

***

Antonio Cueto looks at the black bull statue sitting on his table, and mutters to himself that Vampiro takes too much time. He takes a slow walk to the underbelly of his Ice Temple. As he takes the steps, he bumps into Vampiro, who has just left the room where he holds his ritual.

- Where are you going?

- What do you mean? I want to check on your work!

- You can't go in there now, you shouldn't be here… go away.

- This is my storage and there is my son! If you have failed to revive him for so long, you should just tell me!

- You told me to do it alone, remember? Let me finish it.

Grumpy Cueto tells Vamp that he has no time to wait. He will be forced to get his stepson out of the catacombs, and he will be their third man for the Trios title match. Vampiro asks if The Lord is fine with it, to which Cueto answers "he will be angrier if we don't win the titles!" Antonio tells Vampiro to burn Matanza's body and put the ashes into the urn, but Vampiro says that if he doesn't finish, Matanza's spirit will follow him for the rest of his days.

"Don't be silly. I made Matanza destroy the remainders of his soul, so nobody will follow you! The fascinating beast I will introduce tonight is way stronger than my son, you'll see."

Vampiro has lost this argument, and so he agrees to do as Cueto says. He comes back to his ritual room, returning to the gurney where Matanza was left...but there's no Matanza!!!

AW ****. Where did he go? Vampiro is sweating bullets, the body is gone!! Did his ritual work? Vamp paces back and forth, then stops abruptly. He checks if Matanza's heart is still where he left it last, and yes, it still is. Matanza must be alive, and he's probably on the run. Nobody can know about this, or else the Gods will kill him. Vamp puts the black heart into his robe, this way it would be safer.

***

Marty "The Moth" Martinez is curled up in the bed, while Martina is smoking nonchalantly and scrolling her feed. Looks like Marty is not bants.

He is talking about his loss last night, the meaning of his life, a pretty thing he couldn’t take his eyes off. The Lucha Underground championship. One very bad man took it away from Marty, and he promises to get one back on his blood rival!! Martina is only half listening, she's probably used to weirdos spilling their guts to her and feeling all emotional. She gives Marty a cig to shut him up a bit, then asks him if he fancies her or nah? They didn't get rowdy once!

Martinez slowly rolls off the bed and cynically throws Martina a fat stack of strapped cash from his lunch box. Suddenly, her attitude changes and she asks Marty to tell her more, she's all ears!

"I drowned a spider girl in the toilet last night..."

Martina looks confused at first, then starts laughing. Marty does too, but more hysterically. Obviously the girl does not know what Marty really means, so she fake laughs to make him feel better about his "humor". And Marty... Marty is not all well, so he can't see that.

"Also I was bleeding like a pig after fighting a ninja skeleton who has no fear!!"

Hilarious. Everything Marty says gets a loud laugh out of Martina, they've found each other! Soulmates forever. Now Martina tells some stories about herself, getting an over-animated reaction from Marty.

Sick puppies, what else is there to say.

***

When Antonio Cueto comes back to his office, a new, yet very recognizable face is already there. Low-Ki has arrived to Lucha Underground, and he is here to hold negotiations. No sweet talk from Antonio, Low-Ki gets straight to business.

- I don't want to fight for the secondary belt. "The World Warrior" will only fight for the world title.

- Well listen, if you win the Gift of the Gods title, you will automatically become the number one contender! And you can exchange it for a title match with the main champion.

- Hm, interesting… then I want a bigger signing bonus, and for you to pay for my travel expenses.

- ...Fine. All travel expenses will be covered.

- What about the house money? How many people this place can pack?

- Actually, for this match we are not expecting any fans.

- No fans? Who is going to buy my merch? There's no use of my 20% cut then.

- It's an experimental format. I promise you, it's just a temporary thing, and before you know it, you will be fighting in front of a full house of loud, blood-thirsty people!

- I've heard that before, and this doesn't work for me. I’ll be going then.

Low-Ki prepares to leave, but now that the time is ticking, Antonio is willing to give in. What do you want, Low-Ki?

- Bump my downside.

- But I already did!?

- Listen, I choose not to be ignorant and naive when discussing business.

Antonio almost has an aneurysm negotiating a deal for Low-Ki, but he needs him badly for his Gift of the Gods title match. Antonio gets some more cash out of his jacket, and the deal is formalized via handshake. Low-Ki says he will not disappoint the promoter. You better not, the Gods will be watching!

***

Speaking of Gods. The Lord puts down his cigar, he has a couple of new people sitting in his limo. You may recognize them… they are Ryback and Tarver, and they keep it down with the sentiments. They don't know why they were called in, but money doesn't stink, so...

"Gentlemen, I am looking for some muscle for my group. I can not tell you all about our mission, but you can be sure that the paychecks you got today will pale in comparison to what we have to offer. Not only the money, but the power and prominence that was once taken from you. Sounds grand?"

Ryback and Tarver nod. The Lord is satisfied, they will take part in one of tonight's big title matches. The Lord asks Agent Winter about who will be the winner, Tarver or Ryback?

"I was informed that Mr. Tarver has a boxing background, and that he once killed a man with a single punch. So my money will be on him, no disrespect to the other gentleman."

"The Big Guy" says his name is RYBACK and he's a world-renowned star, not a flop like this "boxer". Tonight, he will prove Winter wrong, and then... they will feed him some more. He snickers and gets off the limo. Tarver can go too, the show is about to start.

After both men are gone, The Lord clarifies that whoever wins the match will be the new, and the last host. Agent Winter nods, checks the clock and says that it is showtime.

Lucha Underground Trios Championship Match

Texano, The Mack, Famous B [w/Brenda] vs. XO Lishus, Ivelisse, Joey Ryan

The dark show is about to start, as Team Diversity and Team 4-2-3 are already in the ring.

Of course, team "captains" are jaw-jacking against each other. That's until Ivelisse slaps the taste out of Famous B's mouth! This greatly upsets Brenda, who wants either Mack or Texano to step in. Both are preoccupied with each other, as Mack has some not-so-kind words for his newest partner. That's why Famous B eats a couple of kicks from Ivelisse, a Running Hip Attack from XO, and a taste of the hairy lollipop from Joey. Poor guy tries to get the hair out of his tongue now, flopping on the mat like a fish. Mack slaps the shoulder of his new manager, and puts him out with a Stunner! That's what you get for screwing over The Mack! Ivelisse asks how did he end up on that team, but Mack shrugs and says doesn't matter now.

Mack and the ever-gritty Texano are now trying to one up each other in the ring, entering a competition for the loudest chop. Joey's chest hair doesn't allow for the slap to be too loud, so Mack throws him out of the ring, with Joey knocking Famous B back to the ground. XO and Ivelisse get punished in the corners now. They are irish whipped into each other, but a swift and slick switcharoo allows them to hit stereo dropkicks! Now XO and Ivelisse attack their opponents with Bronco Busters! The match has started well for them, but then Antonio Cueto comes out. He's visibly irritated.

"You fools started this fight without my command! There's a third trios team involved in the match, and it's not The Reptile Tribe!"

Taya comes out of the fog first, she looks quite different, wearing a crown and a white robe. She's followed by Hexagon Dark - a brooding and dark character who has enough powers for Vampiro to call him his master. They look different, but appear to be on the same page. Antonio says that now is the right time to unleash a Spanish prized bull who has been trapped in the labyrinth for 30 years! Cueto lifts his walking stick, and the bellowing beast runs out from the fog!!

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!??" - yelps Famous B, before a bull-headed creature runs him over, knocking B's shoe off. Antonio comes up to B and screams that it is BLACK TAURUS! Joey Ryan who stood on his knees could only say "wow", then got his teeth knocked down with a single punch. You don't need teeth to suck a lollipop, eh?

Mack has that bewildered expression on his face, so he runs up for a dive, blocked by a Kamengiri from Hexagon! Taya slowly enters the ring and she quickly gets confronted by Ivelisse.

"I AM THE BADDEST B!TCH IN THIS BUIL..."

Taya grabs Ivelisse by the throat, and shoves her to Taurus, who POUNCES the red-haired lady out of her senses. Her leg buckled awkwardly too, looks like she has re-injured her knee once again. Texano throws some forearms and headbutts at this black bull, but they don't seem to work. The beast shakes it all off and sends Texano out of the ring with a massive Discuss Lariat! XO lets out a high-pitched scream and jumps in to get his booty kicked. One Military Press Later, XO joins the rest of the fighters on the outside. Hexagon quickly climbs on the top turnbuckle and leaps off with some out-of-this world Corkscrew 450 Splash! Antonio is totally impressed by that move, but he demands violence! Taurus stomps on the mats, runs up and takes out everybody with a crazy Corkscrew Plancha!

Texano had enough of these flips though, so he takes the bull by the horns and punishes him with his rope. Whips him like he's a government mule, one legend would say!! Meanwhile Taya throws Famous B back into the ring. Northern Lights Suplex and a Double Foot Stomp!! Cover. One, two, Mack springboards to break it up at the last second!! Joey sleazes in with a roll up on Mack, but gets his head kicked off with a punt from Taya! STUNNER on Taya, but she doesn’t go down... Hexagon flies in to hit Mack's head with a Flying Knee! Outside of the ring, Taurus wrestles the sandsnake out of Texano's hands and throws him into the chairs. No believers in sight, so no harm in that.

Taya blasts Mack with running knees into the corner, he's on the ropes in all senses. XO wants in on some action, so he slaps Taya right in the face! The running attack is reversed into a Blue Thunder Bomb! Now Taya locks XO's arms so he can't block the upcoming Curb Stomp! Taya applies the STF, knowing how Lishus tapped out in his last match. Ivelisse drags Taya away by her hair, and the two spill out of the ring. Now Taurus gets back in the ring, Step Up Enzuigiri from XO doesn't bother him, wild Discuss Clothesline! The flamboyant one is out after making a flip in the air! Mack gets up and takes a closer look at this beast. His forearm shot has no effect, and his shoulder tackle only sets him up for a POUNCE! Famous B begs Taurus for mercy, his client is not ensured yet! Taurus grabs the loudmouth promoter from the apron, muscling him back in with a Suplex from the second rope… right on The Mack! Joey tells XO and Ivelisse to get away for safety, he will hold them back! Ryan breaks up the cover, foolishly.

Joey Ryan now backs down in fear, he didn't mean to do that! He just slipped and accidentally broke the cover. Taya grabs Joey Ryan from the back and puts him back down with a Road to Valhalla! Hexagon ascends the top turnbuckle... and puts an end to this bout with an effortless Double Rotation Moonsault! Antonio points his stick at the referee, telling him to count it. He does, giving us the new Trios champions.

Taya Valkyrie, Black Taurus and Hexagon Dark are the new Lucha Underground Trios champions.

Despite being all about the sleaze, Joey Ryan can’t escape the wrath of the Gods.

Antonio smirks, a dirty cop would make for a fine sacrifice! It’s a shame that Matanza will miss the slaughter of this pig. But because he's not with us, Antonio allows Black Taurus to do it for him!! The ring lights up in red, and Joey Ryan is planted on the Aztec seal with an Inferno Suplex… He's gone. Ivelisse couldn't get in because of her injury, also holding XO in her arms.

Mack looked at the sacrifice from a distance. "Shiieeet" he says, while being yelled at by Famous B, who tells the big dummy to move it! B throws his car keys to Texano, time to yeet outta here. Ivelisse and XO slowly get out of the Temple too, Joey Ryan's sacrifice wasn't for nothing after all. As the survivors are scattering away, one man looks at the ring from the balcony. King Cuerno has sneaked into the building mid-match! He stays quiet, for now. Black Lotus is also nearby, surprisingly.

"You have no chance to beat them on your own. Leave before they will find you, or you will not leave this place alive."

Cuerno just shakes his head... that’s the thrill of the hunt he is living for. The most dangerous game. King Cuerno blames Black Lotus for costing Aztecs the Gauntlet, and tells her to get out of his sight. Black Lotus doesn’t argue and leaves the area. She got the revenge she was after all her life, she has nothing that holds her here anymore.

***

Meanwhile ex-Trios champions Daga and Jeremiah Snake are having a very heated conversation in the Snake Lair. Daga is mourning the loss far more than Jeremiah does, and blames him for it.

- She's dead because of you!

- It was an accident! Why would I want to kill her?

- Because now you're out of her control!

- Oh... I see. Maybe it wasn't an accident then.

- Shut your mouth!

- Make me!

Daga and Jeremiah start rolling on the dirty floor, gouging each other's eyes. Nobody will break them up here. Couple of wild punches and knees later, Daga puts Jeremiah in a choke, holding him tight around his neck. Jeremiah admits that Daga has won, and asks him to let him go. Daga does that, letting Jeremiah gasp for air... he picks the knife from the floor that Daga dropped and puts it into his back!

"All this time you have lived with the snakes, and you turned your back on me?"

Jeremiah drops his ex-partner down, and spits down on him, now looking to leave this place. Snake doesn't remember how he got here, but he will not be staying around this place any longer.

Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship Match

HoHo Lun vs. Low-Ki vs. Ryback vs. Tarver vs. Mason The Maniac vs. Ryu vs. Sniper Eagle

The ring is filled with bodies once again, now it's seven men that decided to answer Cueto's open invitation for the Gift of the Gods championship. All seven men already have the medallions, and they put them in the title. None of them have ever stepped foot into the Lucha Underground ring, so the winner of this 7-way match will enjoy a meteoric rise to the top.

We have three powerhouses and four smaller competitors. Antonio has indeed invited talent from all over the world, each representing a slightly different style. Tarver and Ryback are the pupils of the USA smashmouth school of fighting, throwing haymakers and clotheslines to show off their dominance. Mason The Maniac, the archer from Cirque du Soleil, is not going down after their blows though. He lariats both americans from the ring, and seconds later HoHo and Ryu leap off the turnbuckles simultaneously. They seem to be good friends, and working well together. Low-Ki looks to bust out a Sasuke Special, but is cut off by Eagle's Dropkick! Sniper Eagle kips up off the mats after a Shoulder Block by Mason, but gets sent back into the corner by an extremely powerful Shotgun Dropkick from Low-Ki!! Do not upstage "The Professional''!

Ki now low kicks the massive legs of Mason and blasts the man's head off with a Flying Kick! Ryu jumps back in and sends Ki to the corner with a Hurricanrana, then follows with a Hesitation Dropkick! Eagle is back to his senses, and he lashes back at Ki with a Running Corner Meteora! Meanwhile Ryback ragdolls HoHo Lun on the outside, bashing his face against the apron. Ryu saves his friend with a torpedo-like Tope Suicida! Ryu went head first into Ryback like a rocket, with no regard to himself. Low-Ki ducks the deadly hand of Tarver, and bounces off with a Tidal Wave that knocks the boxer's mouthguard away! Mason's bell was rung already, so Low-Ki puts another giant to sleep with a nasty Switchblade Kick! Cover, HoHo Lun breaks up the cover. What have you done, you silly-silly boy?

Ki is pissed that HoHo just cost him the match, so he schools the youngling with a Koppu Kick! The Ghetto Stomp is coming next, but Ryu gets back in with a freakishly athletic Frankensteiner from the apron into the ring! He guards HoHo like he's his brother. Cover, but Low-Ki kicks out. Pulse Drop Shiranui from Sniper Eagle to Ryu, he's going on top too! Warp 4.5 Splash connects!! One, two, Ryback grabs Eagles by the ankle and throws him out! "The Big Guy'' smashes Low-Ki with a Meathook Clothesline and picks him up for a Shellshock Drop! Tarver with a massive SPEAR on Ryback! So much is happening here, and Antonio loves every second of it.

Mason hits a couple of shoulder thrusts in the corner on Ryu, he now looks for a Swinging Side Slam, which Ryu reverses into a Tornado DDT! Ryu transitions into a Fujiwara Armbar, looking to tap the big man out! Low-Ki crashes the submission hold with a Ghetto Stomp on Mason!! He soccer kicks the back of Ryu's head and slaps on a Dragon Sleeper - how timely and appropriate! The luchador is in trouble, but Eagle has a score to settle with Ki, kicking him square across the shoulder blades... POISONRANA! Low-Ki quickly recovers and throws a kick, but Eagle catches it and sends Ki on the mats with a Turbo Backpack! Ryback is back in it, and he completely destroys the smaller Eagle with a Backpack Stunner of his own! Ryback looks to fly some too, so he readies himself for a Big Splash. Lands right on top of Ryu, but now Tarver breaks the cover! Two big men are going nose to nose now, smashing each other with heavy punches. Dizzy and stunned, HoHo Lun decides to walk in and try his luck with punches... didn't learn anything, but he has a brave heart. Lun backs off and raises his hands, admitting the mistake. Full Nelson Slam from Mason, he growls and shows off his physique to the brawlers. They try to Suplex him, but get thrown down themselves by The Maniac!

The end is near, signals Mason, and picks up Ryu for an Argentine Backbreaker Rack! With that body, he would be a great host and a nice addition to The Order. Ryu is seconds away from tapping out, when Low-Ki emerges from out of nowhere with a Warrior's Way Stomp on Ryu!! Mason drops the guy, and catches Ki for a House of Pain Slam. Reversed into a Guillotine! Low Ki hangs on the giant's neck, slowly taking away Mason's oxygen intake. Maniac is on his knees, he's almost definitely out. Ryback and Tarver are slugging it out on the outside, so it's Ryu who saves the match!

Low-Ki has a tense stare down with Ryu, while Tarver lands a deadly punch on HoHo Lun! The boy drops dead, so Ryu leaves the ring to check on his friend. This can't be... Ryback hits Tarver with a Running Powerslam on the floor! Low-Ki smirks, climbs up top and busts out a Ki Splash on Mason The Maniac for the three!

Low-Ki is the new Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods champion.

"The World Warrior" had no friends in this match, so he came out as the winner tonight. He has won the gold in his debut! Ryback is mad that Tarver ruined his plans on winning the title. Ryu yells in fury on the outside, holding an unresponsive HoHo Lun. And Antonio Cueto just claps to the winner and tells all the losers to leave his place, or they will be sacrificed!! Ryu gives Cueto one final look, he will be back... sooner or later. Now Cueto addresses the winner.

"What strength! But don't forget there are many guys like you all over the world!"

Low-Ki just wants his belt, but he's not going to get it. Since he was so adamant to fight for the world title, now will be his chance! Antonio calls out the Lucha Underground champion. Jake Strong! The champion throws down his suit and walks down the stairs. He wears the Gauntlet, and bashes his chest with it.

Low-Ki stands his ground, when Ryback jumps him from behind and goes berserk. Ryback feels slighted, he would be the champion if it wasn’t for that little pipsqueak! Ryback is doing the dirty job for Jake Strong, and leaves the weakened warrior to the fresh and Godly powerful champion. Ryback leaves and Strong only has to put Low-Ki in the Ankle Lock... That's where the lurking of King Cuerno comes to an end. "The Hunter'' slides in the ring and points to the Gauntlet, saying it will be his.

Strong cracks a smile and leaves Low-Ki alone. He says that he can put the thing on the line... if Cuerno puts his mask on the line! "The Hunter" is staring Jake down, and after a few moments accepts the challenge! Jake is satisfied, so he tells Cueto to clear the area. Antonio does not approve this, but he has no power over this God. Agent Winter comes around to pick up unconcious Low-Ki and drag him backstage. Strong throws the gauntlet to Cueto, and we're ready to go!

Gauntlet vs. Mask

Jake Strong vs. King Cuerno

The stakes are extremely high, so King Cuerno picks a more reserved style of fighting, opting for swift strikes and less risky dives. No lock up here, as Cuerno understands that they don't call Jake "The Savage" for nothing.

Cuerno's stance adapts to Jake's takedown-heavy offense, and he stuffs the initial attacks. Strong is just too powerful though, he rams his shoulder into Cuerno's midsection and throws him with ease across the ring. Another charge, and now King jumps. Strong hits his shoulder badly on the ring post, and "The Hunter" does not miss any second attacking that body part. Arm wringers and arm drags transition into different shoulder locks. Now the savvy fighter looks to outsmart Jake with quick covers, like a Backslide. Strong kicks out and scrambles to stand up... Jumping High Knee right into the champ's chin!! Groggy Strong misses with a heavy right, so Cuerno hits the ropes and rebounds with a Flying Headbutt. Jake is on the mats, but rolls out to the outside when Cuerno goes for a Frog Splash. Cuerno recalibrates... ASAI MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE!!

Incredibly risky move pays dividends, as Jake is seemingly down on one knee. Cuerno stomps the man but doesn't bother to pick him up - it's not a title match. Cuerno will gladly take the count out victory and the Gauntlet. Actually… talk about the thrill of the hunt. Cuerno quickly runs up for The Arrow from The Depths of Hell! Glides through the ropes like a bullet... SMASH!! Jake drives the Lucha Underground championship into the face of the hunter! Perhaps one of Cuerno's strongest moves has cost him dearly, and he's now looking like a deer that has been shot in the neck. Strong throws his opponent back into the ring, and cockily puts his foot onto the Cuerno's chest.

One... two... NO! Somehow Cuerno raises his shoulder at the very last second!

Strong does not like that and mounts the hunter, barraging him with heavy shots to the face. Jake looks to tear the mask away from Cuerno, but our King fights back! Crossbody on autopilot, Strong catches the luchador and grounds him with a high-angle Oklahoma Stampede!! Jake can pick up the victory here and right now, but decides to humiliate Cuerno, just like he humiliated Aerostar and Drago before. Ankle Lock! Cuerno fights tooth and nail to get to the bottom rope, but can only escape after an Enzughiri! Cuerno needs to put it away quickly, but he can't pick up Strong for a Thrill of the Hunt. He goes to the top rope once again, signaling a cut throat to the spectating Antonio Cueto. DIVING HEADBUTT! Connects with it and covers the champ! One.. two-o-o... Strong slaps on the Arm Triangle Choke and adjusts his position to put the pressure on Cuerno!!

Cuerno just jumped head first into the deadly trap, and Strong will not let him go. Cuerno tries to escape the Strong Hold, but after half a minute of struggle he fades away into obscurity, passing out. The ref has to stop the bout. Cuerno could steal the Gauntlet under Dario’s watch, but he had no chance to do this to Antonio.

Jake Strong defeated King Cuerno with a Strong Hold to retain The Gauntlet and win King Cuerno's mask.

Jake Strong is just invincible.

He hits his chest after the match, and lets out an unhuman roar, before snapping the mask off Cuerno's head. That is one valuable scalp, and Strong raises it high while the referee puts the title around his waist.

The kneeling Cuerno looks on with disgust and anguish. He has lost his mask, and he is forced to walk away with nothing. Perhaps Cuerno needs to find a new hunting ground for himself now. The shame of coming up short, the guilt of losing, and the overwhelming feeling of incompetence when meeting a God might push Cuerno out of The Ice Temple for good. He leaves his forearm pads in the ring and prepares to walk off… but Strong has another idea! He takes Cuerno to the ground with a Northern Lariat! He wants to sacrifice him!

Gutwrench Powerbomb turns Cuerno inside out, and just like with Joey Ryan, the king is dead. Antonio is satisfied, another descendent of the Aztec tribes has been sacrificed. The Lord will be very happy...

***

Oblivious to the fate King Cuerno has just suffered, Aerostar, Drago and Dragon Azteca Jr. are breathing heavily for some reason. They had to carry something heavy, it looks like.

Dragon Azteca Jr. does not understand why they did what they just did. Wasn’t he one of them? Aerostar says they might need him to win the war. Drago asks what they should do now? Aerostar thinks that visiting other Tribes is too dangerous after what happened to the Reptile tribe, they shouldn’t risk it even more. Most descendents don't even realize that the war has started... The Gods are keeping their agenda in relative secret.

One thing Aerostar knows for sure, is that they are dividing and weakening all the Aztec tribes to end the era of the Fifth Sun. If they succeed, the humanity will enter the era of eternal darkness. Azteca asks how does he know that? Aerostar admits that he went forward in time too many times to count, and everytime something went wrong. He can't try endlessly though, as he runs a risk of hurting the fabric of time. But he’s sure that The Order will come back to this Temple sooner or later to complete the conquest, and one of them would have to protect it while others would look for reinforcements. Drago nods, saying that he will scour the Underworld looking for allies.

Dragon Azteca Jr. seems lost though, he has nowhere to go, so Aerostar puts the arm on his shoulder and softly says that he is "The Chosen One". Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec God of War, always favored the Eagle Tribe. Azteca is the perfect man to protect this place, he will keep fighting enemies away until the help comes. It's a tall task, but if anyone can do it, it's Dragon Azteca Jr! With that, Aerostar and Drago wish Dragon Azteca Jr. luck. They will come back as soon as possible.

Drago disappears in a ring of fire... Aerostar flies off into the Cosmos… and Dragon Azteca is left standing alone on top of the original Lucha Underground Temple, the place where the war began.

***

The Lord praises his associates for a job well done.

They now have the Trios titles, the Rey de Reyes sword, and they just destroyed King Cuerno - the leader of the Deer Tribe. The Lord also tells Antonio to keep his good eye on the black bull, or else he will take the blame. That creature is not fit to be a host for their last God, but it can serve them well. Cueto accepts that responsibility, saying that he had to make that call because Vampiro failed to revive Matanza. The mastermind lights up a cigar and says that he will have to think over who their host will be. Agent Winter has something to say.

"That match did not go according to the plan, my Lord, but let me fix it. I can recruit "The World Warrior" to our group, and put his skills to resolve our problems. He will be a perfect agent for the job we have to do on the outside..."

The Lord does not like when things don't go according to the plan, but he will allow that operation to proceed. As for the last member of their inner circle... He will pick the last host himself, even if it takes him years.

End of Issue #3

Really fun first part of the show! Love Low-Ki and the addition of him feels like something Lucha Underground would do... Will he bring his Hitman gimmick and wrestle in a full suit again... he should haha.

Tarver/Ryback with The Lord is a very interesting dynamic and should be a good prizefight!

Love the graphics and style, really excellent work.

Thanks, hopefully nobody will mind, because the second part consists of a few matches, and those are written almost play-by-play, so that would make the post a little bit long

Low-Ki might not be a model citizen, but I like him a lot in the ring, and find that he's quite underrated on the mic. You might be onto something, by the way

Tarver/Ryback is of course a callback to Nexus. Felt like LU could use someone in a Big Ryck role, both dudes can do just that. More debuts coming soon, lots of new faces that were not used in other LU diaries so far

BigJ · January 7, 2021

Maaaaan Low Ki is perfect for the LU Universe, I have plans myself of introducing down the line in my diary

Martina & Marty are psychopathic comedy GOLD! Session Moth is a great addition to the LU lore

Likes Jimmy Yuta as a cop, LU lacks Asiatic representation, and minorities were a thing in this issue of the comic

The dynamic of Mack signing a contract with B while drunk is great and should provide a great dynamic

And WOW THE ENDING

Sorta of want the Brotherhood to be an all-former Nexus squad now, that'd be wacky af

Great work my friend!

Now The Rock Has Just One Question...

Dwayne Johnson recently had a friendly meeting with Robert Rodriguez to discuss where El Rey goes next, if anywhere. There are rumors that Rocky is interested to film a movie about Lucha Underground, and that The Rock’s very own production company, Seven Bucks Digital Studios, would be very interested in such a project. The recently produced graphic novel got some nice reviews, so there's definetly interest in seeing more Lucha Underground content. With that being said, The Rock might have problems picking up all the legal slack left behind by former LU bosses. But if anyone can do it, it is "The People's Champ"!

Great work my friend!

I look forward to seeing Low-Ki in your diary, amigo! Session Moth comes in to replace Kobra Moon and Reklusa, and I think she has everything to be a good fit. Yuta would be a highly moral cop in my story, he just has 'babyface' written all over him. Mack's 'going somehwere', so I hope you like his story in my season 5. And I feel okay saying that The Order will not be Nexus 2.0, even though it's story will involve some of the original members

By the way, I have updated my latest post to have that second part cause I didn't want to spam 2 messages in 2 mins and make a mess of my links. Hope you enjoy!
