The match was totally fine for a throwaway TV match. You can't just nominate every match from a lovely feud because the feud sucks.

just watch them, theyll watch things like NECW or SSW or whatever and then nominate a "meh" match for WMOTY because its not daniel bryan

Stupid, stupid booking that only makes everyone look bad and ruin what could have been a fun match.

From the ref bump in a no-DQ match that he sold for ages, the red mask stable who may or may not be the Kingdom, to the non pop for Rowe...jesus christ

man this is dumb, it was overbooked but the ring work was great

i get that like proper booking makes matches better but come on man, how many like cameron or rosa mendes matches have there been so far this year

Beef Jerky Robot posted:

is there any interesting back story at all before I watch it

Okay so

Katrina used to hang out with Mil Muertes and he was kind of a dick

Mil Muertes is like some kind of golem-creature that's controlled with a pebble taken from the grave from which he rose

Katrina has that pebble

Katrina tried to get a few people to beat up Mil Muertes but he owned them all till Fenix who beat him up, so Katrina got with him instead and convinced him to put Mil Muertes down for good

Fenix beat him up an episode or two ago and now they have a casket match

No this isn't a joke

I wish I read this beforehand cuz that 'stone' spot really confused me.

Otherwise, yea what a brutal and epic match. It's incredible the contrast when 98% of what you watch is WWE, to then watch this which was so much dim and dark and violent. Not seeing blood in the last few years, used to this extreme effect, was almost tough to watch but totally served it's purpose.
I noticed too how different the announce table and crowd-chairs were - it looked like they hurt.

So this was my first Lucha Underground match - normally it's not at this extreme, right?

No, but catch last week's cage match between Johny Mundo and King Cuerno

The episodes do form plots since the first one so if you like it, heck, just watch all of it

Honorable Mention:

Texano Jr vs. Psycho Clown vs. El Mesias vs. Aerostar AAA Rey de Reyes Final, 3/15/15

Fantastic match taken down a notch by dumb ending

I'll second this, the visual of the blood dripping out of Psycho Clown's mask alone made the match for me and goddamn Aero Star takes retarded bumps

Good example of how to hide someone like Big Ryck's weaknesses and a good example of how you can stick some black dudes together and not have it be lame like New Day
