After impressing us early, South African competitor Angelico got stuck in an awkward, too-sexual breakup angle with Ivelisse and Son of Havoc. If you were hoping he’d move on and get cool again, get ready because this week he’s white dude karate fighting Johnny Mundo.
On paper, that might not pop you, but wait until you see the clip. It’s a welcome new style of match for Lucha Underground and reminiscent of the classic “Matrix minute” between Low Ki and Amazing Red back in the long, long ago version of ROH. There should be an entire division of guys who fight like this. Maybe run a Kumite at The Temple on weekends?
Uno! Dos! Tres! Tonight, Lucha Underground’s very own Dario Cueto will make a game changing announcement! Johnny Mundo and Angelico go to extremes to prove who is better in the ring, while Drago will fight Aero Star and the stakes are at an extreme high. Will the pressure be too much for Pentagon and Mack? This is an action packed can’t-miss episode fill will surprises only Dario Cueto can offer. The first match takes place in the Temple Wednesday, April 1st at 8:00PM ET/PT on El Rey Network.
The new 39-episode series from Emmy Award®-winning producer Mark Burnett combines ancient lucha libre tradition, extraordinary athleticism and a flare for theatrics in each hour-long episode. Every Wednesday, viewers will have a backstage and ringside seat as masked villains and heroes tell their stories while facing off to battle for wrestling supremacy resulting in programming that is unlike anything else on the screen.
Remember, if you don’t have the El Rey Network, you can check out the UniMas website for episodes streaming in Spanish or check out Sling TV for the English language version. The show’s worth the effort, we promise.
