10 Matches We Must See In Lucha Underground Season 2
8. Black Lotus Vs. Matanza
Speaking of Matanza, the main reason behind his imprisonment is the murder of the family of the luchadora known as Black Lotus. The story is that Dario Cueto's brother did the deed, which was seen by El Dragon Azteca and Gory Guerrero. It is hinted that Black Lotus was old enough to remember, and in the first season she turned up in Cueto's office looking for Matanza. Lotus was subsequently captured by Chavo Guerrero and The Crew, and locked up by Cueto. Cueto told Lotus that it was El Dragon Azteca who killed her family, which led to Black Lotus returning the deed (seemingly) at Ultima Lucha. The three (Cueto, Lotus and Matanza) have been on the run ever since. Lucha Underground is a world where stories reach their climaxes and arcs are completed, so it seems unthinkable that Black Lotus won't find out the truth about what happened to her family. This will surely lead to a showdown between Black Lotus and the 'man' who changed her life, Matanza. I did tell you Lucha Underground is a world of story.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
