1. Pentagon Jr. Vs. Mil Muertes
Is there a more enticing match up on the Lucha Underground horizon than a battle between the two biggest in-ring heels in the company? Okay, Pentagon Jr. is only nominally a heel based on action, and would overwhelmingly have the crowd behind him, but it is still a battle between two bad dudes interested only in hurting people for gain. The end of the first episode of season two saw Pentagon Jr. do the unthinkable and break the arm of Mil Muertes before a rabid crowd in the Temple. From that moment on the path was set, and season two completing without a match between the two is unthinkable. Just thinking of the crowd reaction to such a match is exciting in itself. The Lucha Underground is audience is more vocal than most, an absolute must for creating tension and atmosphere in the professional wrestling arena. It is the believers who have put Pentagon Jr. in this spot, and a victory for the man over Muertes would be as cathartic a moment as the show could put together.
