10 Weirdest Lucha Underground Moments (So Far)
4. Matanza
In Season One, promoter Dario Cueto would periodically visit his brother Matanza, bringing him victims to kill and eat while lurking in the shadows.
Yup, a character murdered and ate people for an entire season before being unleashed in Season Two and becoming the Lucha Underground champion in his first night, defeating nine competitors. (He was able to contain his cannibal bloodlust during matches, which was handy for his opponents.)
Oh, and apparently, he's an ancient god in the body of Dario's brother. So there's that little nugget to ponder.
But still, talk about building up a proper monster. Imagine if Braun Strowman feasted on the entrails of Roman Reigns. Do you think that would garner Reigns any sympathy from the crowd?
Eh, probably not.
