Finally caught up with the show after missing the last couple of episodes.

The rematch for the trio's titles was dope up until Prince Puma snapped.:mjlol:

I guess he said enough was enough and I don't blame him because the last match they had was a free for all with those low blows.:scust:

Matanza vs Cage was a dope match as well.:whew:

Cage is so fluid in the ring for a guy his size. He came a long way from when I first saw him in tna. He really carried carried this match.:ehh:

Matanza was taz lite with those suplex variations. He should definitely continue to use some of taz`s suplexes.

The best title defense Matanza has had so far.

The monster is really looking legit. Clean wins over The Machine and The Man of a Thousand Deaths since he's been champ.:wow:


Man, that kinda cut deep seeing cage take the clean bf is unfocused loss.
Oh well,....guess LUCHA underground is made for the lucha's.
Anyway, I hope cage can get another shot but matanza looked beastily in this defense and the no selling and no selling was epic.

Matanza vs cage = the lucha evolution of what Goldberg vs Scott Steiner on freetv was

Daga ain't really doing it for me right now, especially with the way Vampiro keeps hyping him up but I'm intrigued to see where this story with Kobra Moon is going.

Puma speaks again! And now he's even losing his cool during matches? They're definitely (finally) moving him forward from the mute babyface he was under Konnan's guidance. DA JR continues to impress, dude is about on par with Puma as far as speed and athleticism goes.

I can't say I was surprised that the Matanza/Cage match was as good as it was since they've faced each other in the indies before, but I loved the story they told with Cage adapting and trading power moves with his (ridiculous) athleticism. And to think that man was released from his WWE contract back when he was in FCW.

I wouldn't even want the E to sign him cuz at this point since he had a body similar to Ryback... The only then Vince would do is cut Skip Sheffeld, sign Cage as Machine.

Hunter will get in his ear about slowing it down and only working a big man's style. And after doing a few series of boring matches where he at best does 5 or 6 moves.... He'll probably get some fluke injury and stuck somewhere getting jobbed and D Pushed

:scust: At the thought of him getting buried by Kalisto

The ending of the Matanza match caught me off guard as well. They were having a great match and then bam, finish into pin. I was expecting fukkery for Cage to lose, something with Dario using the key to give Matanza a level up or something.

Most likely you're right but

Cage's finish >>> Ryback's life

Cage's athleticism >>> Ryback's entire existence

I don't think Cage would easily fall by the wayside

Still here.

Still watched Fatanza Cheeto get carried by Cage to a decent but choppy match, bogged down by fatboys sloppy, slow plodding

Dude does 2 impressive power moves and gets sucked off

The Believers in the Temple arent feeling him at all. It aint just me.

Na, that is just you! The believers in the Temple rock with Mantanza!

The been with him since he 1st dropped Mil through the roof.

Yes, no one is untouchable and above criticism but there is NOTHING that can be said bad about that match.

If we gonna sit here and praise Cage for doing his thing you have to also give a strong amount of props to Mantanza for helping him look good!

He didn't botch any moves he didn't look lost at any time of the match, when cage doing Lucha stuff he wasn't stumbling and bumbling around in the ring. That was a great effort by both guys

They asked for hate I gave them hate:lolbron:

But 100% honest I thought the match was good but not great. Cage and Matanza did their thing, I just think that the character of Matanza is holding back the wrestler underneath.

fukk it, I still give it 4 stars though because of the entertainment value

I sorta agree because they got a guy whose indie nickname is Mr Athletic slug around like Jason Voorhees. They need a moment in a feud where they can tweak his character enough to give him room to show off more of his true skill.

Na.... I think he is fine the way he is in whatever trajectory they want. Mind how Cage has grown, he wasn't doing any of the shyt hue did in that match last season. But he built on to that to the point we are surprised and respect it.

Don't need too much too early.

Think about it.... When we all 1st saw Cage most of us though "meh, another Ryback" :francis:

No we see him and be like :ohlawd:

Cage was doing top rope moonsaults, 619's and other flippy shyt in his early matches all the time, they never hid his athleticism but they started to build his matches around his "machine" persona.
