10 Best Lucha Underground Moments

3. No Mas

Fans were thrilled and shocked over the brutal match between Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton at SummerSlam, but those two had nothing on Sexy Star vs. Mariposa.

The masked women had a battle that was months in the making, and finally came to a head in the ring. Mariposa and her brother Marty “The Moth” Martinez had kidnapped Star, and tortured her to the point where she was no longer the same competitor as before, having lost her confidence.

In order to get it back, she needed to defeat her captor in convincing fashion. They settled things in an I-Quit match, called No Mas, with the addition of an Ancient Aztec Medallion on the line. With so much at stake, the women beat the hell out of other, bleeding like crazy and enthralling the crowd.

Star finally overcame her fears, found her courage and in possibly the most badass wrestling moment of the year screamed “f**k you” at Mariposa as she refused to submit.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
