Lucha Underground's "Ultima Lucha" Preview & Predictions
The season finale draws near...
This coming Wednesday (July 29, 2015) will be the beginning of the end for Lucha Underground's first season.
Last week, Dario Cueto -- and his unquenchable thirst for violence -- announced that instead of one show, Ultimate Lucha would now become two. With plenty of awesome matches on the horizon it's time to break each one down.
If you're a longtime fan, this should be a great refresher. If you're new to the product, it's never to late to join in on the fun. Need more convincing? Here's 15 reasons why Lucha Underground is awesome, and 20 of their finest matches in the first season.
On Wednesday, things kick off with The Mack going against "The Man They Call" Cage in a "Falls Count Anywhere" match. Also this week we get to see Drago vs. Hernandez in a "Believer's Backlash" match, which is going to allow the fans to join the action.
This week is just the appetizers though, next Wednesday (August 5, 2015) is where the feast takes place. In the main event it's going to be Prince Puma vs. Mil Muertes for the Lucha Underground Championship. The trios titles are going to be up for grabs, and Vampiro and Pentagon Jr. will finally meet in the ring to settle their differences. Plenty of other stars will be out to shine including: Johnny Mundo, Alberto El Partron, Blue Demon Jr., and Texano.
Let's get to the matches and predictions.
8. The Mack Vs. Cage - Falls Count Anywhere
This feud dates back to a confrontation about forming a trios match between Big Ryck and DelAvar Daivari. Originally Mack -- Ryck's cousin -- was going to join up, but Cage felt he was a better fit and show it by beating the crap out Mack in the locker room, effectively taking his spot. Mack obviously didn't appreciate the disrespect and wanted to prove Cage wrong.
Since then, they've had two matches, both of which Mack has come out the victor. Cage lost the second match so quickly that out of frustration he beat Mack up all over the Temple. Never one to miss an opportunity, Dario Cueto made a "falls count anywhere" to settle the feud.
Prediction: Cage - At the beginning of the season Cage was in the main event scene and since then has fallen to the back. A win here would get him back on the right track, besides, he couldn't actually lose 3 in a row, right?
