I love a good GORE! GORE! GORE! and poor Jake got a good one, plus when it comes to a future victory in your KRU World Tag League I am picking Nikolai Volkoff & Boris Zhukov to win their first match...

Pleased to see SD Jones is 'King Of The Jobbers' and quite rightly so. I'd personally like to see Brooks deputise for Condrey and, although he may be a little 'rusty,' I think he'd do a decent job.
Sucks to be Milliman- I reckon he racked up another concussion there!
Is it ok to see All Star Wrestling is my favourite territory?!

Thanks for the comments Crimson and Joebreakdown. I like that you are backing Nikolai Volkoff & Boris Zhukov, Crimson, and it would be nice to them do well in the tournament along with your Krazy Kards stars Power Surge. I'm really enjoying the ongoing nature of the tournament. Volkoff & Zhukov will be facing Giant Bernard & Dan Spivey in Osaka (Card #1114) while Power Surge take on War Machine in Sapporo (Card #1113) on my upcoming KRU tour.
Joe, there is nothing wrong with having ASW as your favorite territory. I am happy that you enjoy it. I wasn't going to do a top ten for ASW but I thought about how much you enjoy the enhancement guys and I said why not? It was fun putting it together and it is ranked according to win totals. It would have been funny to have Rusty Brooks as the sub but Cornette was most likely trying to poke fun at the big ol' "Walrus".
As for Jake "The Milkman" Milliman I imagine he is feeling pretty sore right about now. That match was brutally one sided.

LOW Lucha Underground - The Temple - Boyle Heights - Los Angeles, CA (Card #1112)
Announcers: Matt Striker & Ultramantis Black
* Sly Drury, the Boss of Lucha Underground, was in the ring to open the show surrounded by The Crew (Bateman, Che Cabrera & Sasha Darevko). Drury said that things in The Temple are under his control now that he possesses the Eye of Tyr and he acknowledged Ultramantis Black, who was sitting at the announce table alongside Matt Striker, as the man responsible for it. He asked that the crowd give a standing ovation to Ultramantis Black and a few did. He called Ultramantis a longtime associate and promised to bring him the fame and the glory that he craves but that for now he has a very important job, keeping an eye on things for him from the ringside area. Ultramantis took a bow towards the ring acknowledging Drury who continued talking about The Crew having a very important job as well, keeping stability in The Temple and dishing out justice to unworthy opponents like the three they would be facing tonight. In addition, he announced that the main event tag team match last time at The Temple, Mil Mascaras & Prince Puma vs. “The Machine” Brian Cage & Matanza, was inconclusive and tonight instead of doing a rematch he was breaking it up into two singles matches – Puma vs. Cage and Mascaras vs. Matanza. He concluded by saying that he had a very special opportunity for a real crowd favorite, Chavo Pequeno. He called Pequeno down to ringside and told him to wait in the corner for his opponent and that should he win he will receive a wonderful opportunity courtesy of The Boss of Lucha Underground. Drury and The Crew left when suddenly dark music sounded off and entering The Temple were none other than the “Man of 1000, Deaths”, Mil Muertes, and his seductive manager Catrina…
Quick Results:
1) Mil Muertes (with Catrina) defeated Chavo Pequeno
(Pinfall – Flatliner)*
2) Lio Rush & Leva Bates defeated Delavar Daivari & Ruby Raze
(Rush pinned Daivari – Counter Sunset Flip)
3) The Mack defeated Moose
(Pinfall – Chocolate Thunder Bomb)
4) No DQ Match: Tursas (with Crossbones) defeated Killshot
(Pinfall – Diving Cross Body)
5) Son of Havoc (with Mercedes Martinez) defeated Saturyne
(Pinfall – Death From Above, a corkscrew 450 Splash)
6) Prince Puma (with Konnan) defeated “The Machine” Brian Cage
(Pinfall – Chocolate Rain, a double diving knee drop into a standing opponent)
7) Jerry Lynn, Rob Van Dam & 2 Cold Scorpio defeated The Crew (Bateman, Che Cabrera & Sasha Darevko)
(Lynn pinned Bateman – Diving Crossbody)
8) Mil Mascaras defeated Matanza
(Submission – Bow and Arrow)
Match Highlights:
The inaugural Lucha Underground debut show (Card #1103) saw Mil Mascaras & Prince Puma lose on a disqualification to “The Machine” Brian Cage & Matanza in a thrilling main event. This time the four were split up into singles bouts and up first was Puma, accompanied by his mentor Konnan, taking on Cage. This was an incredible bout that saw he two men battle all around The Temple, including up the stairs. Puma twice missed the 630 Senton which nearly cost him the match. Cage survived a third 630 Senton but barely kicked out before the three count. Cage manhandled Puma late but then the masked man connected with a dive over the ring post before hitting Chocolate Rain for the pin. It was a notable win for Puma over a very tough opponent in “The Machine”. The match between Mascaras and the Matanza, an intimidating masked man with a strong build, was just as brutal. Matanza dominated much of the action against the seven-time LOW World Heavyweight champion tossing him around the ring. Mascaras went to the air for a counterattack and twice hit his trademark Flying Bodypress but Matanza powered out at the count of two. Both men were worn down by the end as Mascaras trapped Matanza in a Bow and Arrow hold. He wrenched the hold in and the referee, unable to get any kind of response from Matanza, called for the bell. Mascaras won it by submission but looked shaken up as he left the ring. Matanza slowly recovered and then erupted in anger destroying the ringside area sending both fans and officials running.
Jerry Lynn, Rob Van Dam and 2 Cold Scorpio won their match with The Crew in short order. Lynn caught Bateman with a Diving Crossbody for the pin as RVD and Scorpio fended off Che Cabrera and Sasha Darevko. Sly Drury made a pre-match announcement stating that if Lynn and his team won the man scoring the fall would receive a special opportunity. Lynn was skeptical as Drury emerged from his office and informed him, RVD and Scorpio that he was feeling “generous” and that all three men would receive a great prize. Drury announced that on the next card at The Temple (Card #1120) it will be Lynn, RVD and Scorpio facing each other in a Triple Threat Match where the man who loses the match will be banished from The Temple forever!
There are always mysterious happenings in and around The Temple and one such incident took place during the match between Saturyne and Son of Havoc. The two had a highly competitive bout until a strange ending. Havoc went up top to execute his Death From Above finisher as Saturyne was down but appeared to be frozen in place. Havoc hit the move and scored the pin before leaving ringside with Mercedes Martinez. Saturyne was still in a prone position staring up where a mysterious masked woman looked down on her. She was startled and quickly rolled out of the ring but was confronted by a strange man identified as Marty “The Moth” Martinez. He stalked her around the ring until Dalton Castle raced down and chased him off as the masked woman simultaneously disappeared from her perch…Caeser B. Black once again tried to assist Moose who this time was facing The Mack. He slid a Silver Platter into the ring but The Mack got it first and used it on Moose before he eventually hit the Chocolate Thunder Bomb for the pin. Moose argued with Black after the match leaving the manager still looking for a client…Lio Rush & Leva Bates earned a popular win over Delavar Daivari & Ruby Raze but Bates was not too pleased with it. Rush worked the entire match taking on both opponents before catching Daivari with a flash pin. The former SHIMMER star gave Rush the cold shoulder as the two left the ring.
Tursas won his No DQ Match over Killshot in convincing fashion prompting another appearance from Sly Drury. He said that he is a man of opportunity and wanted to give Killshot another chance to impress him. Killshot listened with caution and heard what he didn’t want to hear as next time at The Temple he will be facing none other than Mil Muertes. The in-ring debut for Muertes proved to be deadly for one Chavo Pequeno. The masked man from Mexico City, Mexico, put up a good fight but was no match for Muertes. The “Man of 1,000 Deaths” crushed him in the end scoring the pin with a Flatliner. Catrina made her way into the ring post-match and gave Pequeno the Lick of Death which spelled the end for him at least for the time being.
Vignette:
An exhausted Mil Mascaras was slumped over on a bench in the locker room when Sly Drury walked in. Drury complimented Mascaras on his big win over Matanza and said that was the kind of performance he expected when he brought him to The Temple. He acknowledged Mascaras’ seven reigns as LOW World Heavyweight champion and said that he knows that the belt is the desire of everyone including the stars of Lucha Underground. Drury said that he has negotiated for a world title match to take place at The Temple (Card #1142) and that the winner of Aztec Warfare (Card #1130) would get that shot. With that he said that he has set up a match on the next card at The Temple where the winner will advance to Aztec Warfare entering at number twenty and the loser will be out. He said that it will be Mascaras against Prince Puma and may the best man win. Drury walked off laughing as Mascaras stared intently at the lockers in front of him.
Back in his office, Drury called in The Crew and chastised them for losing to Jerry Lynn, Rob Van Dam and 2 Cold Scorpio. Ultramantis Black was also in the office and noted that Bateman, who was pinned in the match, failed to make a crucial tag perhaps costing his team the match. Bateman said that was fair and acknowledged that he could have handled the situation better. Drury seemed pleased by Bateman owning up to the defeat but said that he must pass a test next time at The Temple to prove that he belongs on the team. Drury noted that there is angry caged beast in the bowels of The Temple that is looking to avenge a loss of his own and informed Bateman that he would be facing the Matanza! Bateman was in a state of shock as Ultramantis asked Drury to reconsider but the Boss of Lucha Underground said his mind was made up. He took out three wads of cash for Ultramantis, Cabrera and Darevko noting that Bateman could collect his if he beats Matanza.
As the four men left the office and Drury kicked back in his chair placing his feet on the desk, two mysterious figures appeared just outside the window. Drury failed to notice them as he was deep in thought but they were Mil Muertes and Catrina. The two watched as Drury stared intently at the Eye of Tyr hanging from the chain around his neck, laughing to himself about the power he has acquired. Drury got up to leave when suddenly Catrina appeared in front of him. She said that Drury is living a charmed life but that can only last for so long, the Eye of Tyr is too powerful for one man to control. She urged Drury to hand it over but he again refused and quickly darted out of the door only to run right into Muertes. Catrina suddenly appeared beyond Muertes at the end of the hallway and told Drury that he still has time but that time will eventually run out. Drury said that he has given them whatever they have asked for but that the Eye of Tyr is off limits. Muertes grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall before releasing his grip and leaving The Temple with Catrina…
Injury Report:
* Chavo Pequeno will be out of action for several cards after taking the Lick of Death from Catrina, the manager of Mil Muertes.

SON OF HAVOC! Clap! Clap! Clap-clap-clap! The most electrifying sports entertainer in the Underground today! So pleased that he scored that big win over 'Sexy' Saturyne... Even though the circumstances were a little off... Also cool that he's being accompanied to the ring by the Baddest B**ch in the building (Mercedes)... You've made some awesome selections for drawing parallels to actual LU personalities...
Frightening debut for Mil Muertes and it looks like you're putting that Catrina card to good use already... Very nice! Enjoyed the double main event caliber matches that saw Mascaras and Puma emerging victorious... Sly is looking frustrated and now he's going to feed one of the Crew to Matanza to ease some of his stress...
Really looking forward to the Triple Threat pitting RVD, Lynn and 2 Cold against one another... Unfortunate that no good deed goes unpunished and one of these three will be leaving the Underground soon... Gotta feeling it won't be one of the F'n Shows - If ya' know what I'm saying...
Pure entertainment from start to finish, my friend... Quickly becoming one of my favorite brands beneath the LOW umbrella... Awesome stuff!

Thanks for the comments Troy, Pariah and Aceldamas. That was actually the second appearance for Rusty Brooks as P.N. News squashed him the previous week on ASW. The "Walrus", er Brooks, is fun to use and he does his job well  As for Lucha Underground, should Andre the Giant remain champion yes he will be visiting The Temple to face the winner of Aztec Warfare. I have been tossing around the idea of having LU introduce championships, such as Gift of the Gods, but for now I am going to have them challenge for the LOW belts which if you think about it could be really interesting. I was also psyched to see Son of Havoc win and yes I selected Mercedes Martinez to represent Ivellise and their ally El Generico is representing Angelico. As for Saturyne, she has an ally in Dalton Castle to help her against Marty The Moth and whoever that masked mystery woman is  The Catrina (Karlee Perez) card is great and I am having a blast using her and Mil Muertes, especially when it comes to making trouble for Sly Drury. They seem to be the only ones having an affect on him right now as Drury is truly running The Temple with an iron fist, just ask Bateman not to mention Mil Mascaras, Prince Puma and the trio of Lynn, RVD and Scorpio. Drury is having a lot of fun making their lives miserable in The Temple. I am having a blast running the LU shows. Thanks again for the comments and next up will be a two show tour for Kings Road United the second of which will feature the highly anticipated (looking at you Pariah!) world title match between AJ Styles and Andre the Giant. |

You are capturing that Lucha Underground vibe with your LU, I like that Chavo Pequeno is out because of the Lick of Death. Cool to see the heroes in Lynn, RVD & 2SC win over The Crew, plus I really like UMB pointing out how Bateman made a mistake and now Matanza is in his way in proving he belongs. Another fun show and another great addition to your LOW...
