Pentagon Dark was featured on the episode and won, 5/5

 

Killlshot vs Crane was really, really good live.  I don't remember a lot of the other stuff.  This shit was taped over a year ago at this point.  There's two things I know we will absolutely shit on on the podcast once they air, we're like itching to do it.

 

As cool as the death scene was, having your least interesting character kill one of the most interesting characters is a baffling decision.  Cage is on that Son of Havoc "his fans are annoying and he does nothing for me" list

 

Well you got to see this stuff without Striker and Vampiro commentary so there is that to be thankful for. 

Striker calls every second of every match like he is in full Jim Ross freaking out over Stone Cold mode and who knows what the hell Vampiro is babbling about half the time in between saying brother.

Anybody else with Xfinity not get the new episode recorded?  I checked DVR and it wasn't recorded, and not only that it skipped the episode for On Demand.  Finally have a chance to catch up and need to seek another way to watch (Amazon Instant hopefully)  It could be just me, but wouldn't be surprised if others had this issue.

I know that was a problem the first week for some systems, but not Xfinity.

I've noticed other people mention the new episodes haven't been added to Xfintiy's Ondemand . I don't know if it got fixed - I hope so, because they're in HD there and the show looks so much better. (You can buy the episodes individually on Amazon, but not thru video service.)

LU seems to have discontinued posting matches on YouTube too.

I wish I could have done that last week.  We moved and the box was hooked up in the old place until Comcast came to move everything over.  Without a TV hooked up to it I couldn't see what was going on with it.  Thankfully I found a way to check it out so I'll catch up when I get a chance.

Thankfully I was able to somehow see last week so it's all good.  Pentagon Dark destroying Argenis was super fun and Cage smashing a dude's head off is quality TV.

Tonight was a good night of tournament matches, even the squash matches were nice and competitive.  Moth/Saltador was wonderfully weird but holy shit was Marty's video next level creepy.  Like that he's after Melissa but has to now go through her guy Fenix.  And it goes without saying but holy crap Melissa is breathtakingly gorgeous.  I'm not a fan of intergender matches, but Fenix/Mariposa was good considering he was trying not to destroy her or anything.  But he still got the job done and it should be a nice and heated match against Marty.

Really strong run of episodes continues. All four matches over-delivered. For as gorgeous as Melissa Santos is, her acting is completely the opposite. LOL

Were they teasing incest between Marty & Mariposa? I really couldn't tell and I kept watching for something weird b/c DeJospeh was tweeting it was coming but couldn't really tell.

Second round is shaping up really strong so far. But I think Sexy Star is back next week so let's see how she manages to ruin things. :D

Somehow that Marty/Mariposa segment wasn't the creepiest thing in LU history. Vampiro and Pentagon's dungeon porn is still worse, though I reserve the right to change that opinion if Marty raping Mariposa when they were kids becomes canon (please don't do that LU).

It was! Everything else was a squash. Who is Son of Madness?

 

Crane's beat down of Mil was nasty, but I figured we would get there eventually.

Was that Mike Knox?

I still can't stand Crane, all that guy knows how to do is spit on people and stiff them

The really good Killshot/Crane match is tonight.

Too bad the ending came right out of Monday Night RAW.

Meanwhile, kudos to London for making his opponent look like half a million bucks.

Yeah, London's carry of Vibora was pretty impressive. London/Mil was a matchup I hadn't considered and never knew I wanted until this week.

Killshot/Crane was ok, but that finish sucked and totally telegraphs the finish to the match I'm most looking forward to next week. I'd like to see Fox get to mix it up with more of the LU roster.

hahaha I totally missed that. Good catch!

I'm happy the first round is over. Hoping the next round is a little more competitive and way less overbooked. Every match was either a squash or some nonsense way to get out of a finish. Obviously the common thread in LU is protect Sexy Star at all costs b/c she's the star of the project but that finish today was so lame, made only worse by Matt Striker screaming about Dario wanting referees to call this tournament strict after we've seen multiple tournament matches (including the main event tonight) have interference with no DQ's called. Fuck two weeks ago Paul London's partners literally walked through the ring without even a threat of DQ.

The Rey/Mundo build is so great and overshadowing everything about this tournament. I cannot wait for that match!

Still really annoys me the way this show fucks with everyone except Sexy Star. She couldn't even take a pinfall last week so they had Matt Striker scream about how she got DQ'ed because Dario Cueto ordered the refs to be strict and enforce the rules. This was a week after we saw interference in matches. Then this week EVERY MATCH had a run-in or distraction without the refs calling shit. It's super annoying.

(Also as pointed out elsewhere - Luchasaurus got counted out to lose his match while Taya/Crane went fighting in the crowd for 10 minutes)
