From somewhere presumably in Japan, Pentagon Jr. talks to his Master about what to do with Vampiro since he refuses to face him at Ultima Lucha. There’s a voice changer for the Master (who does speak English) so we do now know that he does exist even if only in Pentagon’s mind. Anyways, the Master instructs Pentagon to go after Vamp’s ego. Pentagon calls out Vampiro by his real name declaring to his Master that he will be his sacrifice.

HOUR NUMBER ONE! Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Larry Zbyszko, and Mike Tenay. Tony announces that the Sting versus Hogan match has been signed for December. Weird that he never mentions the word “Starrcade”. The contract signing took place this past Tuesday night during the Assault on Devil’s Island TV movie starring Hollywood Hogan, Carl Weathers, and that blonde chick from all the Cinemax movies who married Gene Simmons. Anywho, Tony gives Hogan some credit mentioning that the premiere was one of the top four highest-rated cable TV movies in the history of our sport. After we see the same clips we saw last week of the movie, they re-air the contract signing. Now let’s get to the ring! Read the rest of this entry

Over in Dario Cueto’s office, Chavo Guerrero approaches El Jefe and looks to cash in on his final request. Chavo and the Crew handed over Black Lotus to Dario, now he wants a Lucha Underground title match with Prince Puma. At first Chavo just wants a no disqualification match, but Dario Cueto says he will give Chavo whatever he wants. With those sort of conditions, Chavo wants Cueto to do something about Konnan and his cane. Dario decides that if Konnan gets involved, Chavo will automatically win the Lucha Underground title. Chavo declares that his destiny will be fulfilled tonight. We shall see!
