10 Best Lucha Underground Moments
4. Johnny Mundo vs. Prince Puma - All Night Long
The first episode of Lucha Underground saw a great main event with Johnny Mundo vs. Prince Puma. It showed that the company would be built on incredible in-ring action with some of the best young stars on the planet. While their first match was enjoyable, their Iron Man match “All Night Long” was far superior.
Unlike most Iron Man matches which rely on a series of restholds, Puma and Mundo went all-out on trying to decisively beat the other. Just a quarter of the way into the match we had already seen five falls between them. At one point, Mundo just straight up ran away, which angered the fans and Puma, but was kind of a smart defensive tactic.
All Night Long was the only match on the show, and it was well worth the time it was gifted. Few other performers in wrestling could have put on such an impressive athletic display, and kept up the intensity throughout.
