With the season finale -- Ultima Lucha -- just around the corner, it's a perfect time to countdown the finest of what Lucha Underground has done thus far. Throughout their first season there has been a ridiculous amount of great matches put on nearly every week. This list will include some familiar and no so familiar faces. Wrestlers such as Johnny Mundo, Alberto El Patron, Fenix, Mil Muertes, Prince Puma, and Drago are just a few of the names you will see.

In terms of criteria obviously this will just focus on each match's overall quality and entertainment value. If a tie-breaker is needed, then feud history or importance of the match will be considered. Some gimmick matches that are easier to work, for example: No DQ, may ranked be lower. While gimmick matches that are tougher to work, like a casket match or iron-man match, maybe get bumped up the list. Full disclosure: I'm working with El Rey Network's YouTube playlist. It has all the most well-known matches, but there may be a standout match or two missing, if you think of any, hit up the comments with your picks.

If you've had trouble catching every episode this is the perfect go-to resource to catch up on all the hype. No more wasting time, let's get right to number 20.

20. King Cuerno Vs. Drago - Last Luchador Standing

Not going to lie this was a tough list to do, especially from 20-10, it's pretty much splitting hairs deciding which should be ranked higher. So for these first few matches, it's more about highlighting one or both wrestlers in one of their better matches.

IIn this case; meet King Cuerno, Lucha Underground's resident intelligent heel. Everything he does is vicious, but calculated, which you will notice towards the end of the match.
