I believe the last WWE PPV I watched from start to finish was Night of Champions. I think I left the house I was at in the middle of watching Hell in a Cell because it was so boring. I am not the hipster fan who enjoys NXT as much as other people. I can’t even remember the last time I sat down and watched an episode of RAW, so my WWE watching in the latter half of 2015 has been sparse to say the least. But when I read that Mauro Ranallo was joining WWE and would be the PBP commentator on Smackdown, my interest was piqued. I absolutely love GOOD wrestling commentators. When they put over the right things, when they feel like a friend sitting next to you, when they know how to show emotion and not still sound like a whiny little douche (I’m looking at you Michael Cole), when they do everything possible to assist you in suspending your disbelief. That’s what I love. Because even when wrestling is BAD or just not completely doing it for you, a good commentator can make it feel not so bad.

In Dario Cueto’s office, he meets with Big Ryck. He feels that Ryck has lost focus as of late and he’s been blinded by Daivari’s money. Ryck doesn’t like being told that he’s been blinded. Yikes. Dario wants Ryck out of Daivari’s shadow and back in the spotlight. He tells Ryck that tonight he will reveal the power of the Aztec medallions and hands him one of them. Ryck has to decide whether he wants money or power. Why not have them both? Dario hands Ryck a medallion and then Ryck holds out his hand for a big wad of cash. Ahh, just like the old days.

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.

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!

Dario Cueto goes to see his brother in the cage. He holds a red sack full of seven golden medallions in his hand. Apparently, it was part of their father’s fortune that was seemingly lost. Once united, the medallions will make a warrior more powerful than the gods. Wait, has Lucha Underground turned into Dragon Ball Z now? Anyways, some of his luchadores will begin fighting over the medallions tonight. Dario may even bring a TV in here for his brother to enjoy the mayhem.

Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron head to Dario Cueto’s office to settle a disagreement on who should get the next Lucha Underground title shot. However, they do agree on one thing: Hernandez (Mundo calls him Fernandez) should NOT be getting a title shot because he hasn’t beaten either one of them. Cueto compromises by putting Mundo and El Patron in a match tonight. The winner faces Hernandez in a new number one contenders match – next week. As he’s been known to do, Cueto is almost salivating at the thought of finding out which one of these two is the absolute best.

We begin tonight’s program from wherever the black lotus is at. She’s still in her Mexican lucha libre training with El Dragon Azteca. She doesn’t know when he will let her fight, but she knows she is ready. She’s told that her anger is her greatest weakness, but Lotus feels it is her greatest strength. COME WITH ME. We get to see her fight off a bunch of dudes. This feels like Batman Begins to me. She gets into a back and forth struggle with El Dragon Azteca. When she fails, he knows she’s still not ready. Black Lotus looks very disappointed as we head over to the Temple.
Your hosts are Matt Striker and Brother Vampiro.
