The second season of Lucha Underground is coming to an end. It was a shorter affair, but still highly entertaining, and filled with a lot of memorable moments. We were introduced to the monster Matanza Cueto, saw Rey Mysterio Jr. enter The Temple, and witnessed Lorenzo Lamas make his long-awaited debut on a wrestling show.

To close things out for now, we’ve entered Ultimate Lucha Dos. It’s the company's version of WrestleMania, spread out across three weeks of one-hour shows.

Wednesday night saw the first episode air, and it left us with a lot of exciting action, and some noteworthy storyline progression to be followed up on next season. This is the first time we’ve covered Lucha Underground in the Up/Down review format, and Ultima Lucha is a great place to start.

Overall, the second edition of Ultima Lucha was a lot of fun. The show exclusively revolved around a four man tournament, featuring a couple of good matches, some insane bumps, and a crazy amount of excitement from the announce team and The Believers. A couple minor missteps didn't stop it from being an entertaining event.

Here are 4 ups and 2 downs for night one of Ultima Lucha.

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
