Several thoughts on last nights Lucha Underground, I have realized that this amazing show, which is the greatest show ever, fills me with thoughts and joys that I must share: I have seen 27 episodes of the first season on netflix, and the night before last I watched the last episode of the third season to catch up with what was happening so I had the proper context when watching last nights episode. And so, last night, I watched the all night long fight between The Mack and Johnny Mundo making it my first live Lucha Undergound viewing experience. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen, and I have seen many amazing things. I had read on various wrestling websites about what was happening up until that point: The Mack and Sexy Star had developed a touching friendship, and Johnny Mundo challenged the Mack and he said things like “Oh Mack you are so out of shape” (I am paraphrasing) and he disrespected Mack, but Mack smacked him around. And so, last night, they fought, and it was epic, they took a ladder out and everything. Johnny Mundo faked a foot injury after jumping off the ropes and smashing into the Mack, then the paramedics came out and it turned out Johnny Mundo was faking it and he hit The Mack with the stretcher, then the Mack took him up the stairs, with the stretcher, strapped Mundo to the stretcher, and pushed him down the stairs. This warmed my heart. It turned out to be a draw, but The Mack should have totally won. I feel the lesson with all of this is: Don’t judge a book by it’s cover! When The Mack first came on with Big Rick and Killshot to do dastardly deeds, I did not take him seriously. But I was wrong in thinking he wasn’t a noble warrior, and his friendship with sexy star is a great thing.

I will be updating every new lucha underground episode, because the honorable world of luchadore wrestling is the only thing that makes sense in this crazy world.

 

Love,
