That Tejano/Mundo match was the truth. Great match by both guys working their asses off. I now kinda hope they find a way to keep Mundo. Dude has nothing but good matches. Great moment between Alberto and Tejano too.
I'm also loving Cage and Mack beating the shit out of each other. Good stuff, and it'll be a great way to kick off Ultimo Lucha.
Digging the Gift Of The Gods belt. Smart of them to use magnetized medallions on them.
And hey, Fenix is back!
Surprised that no one commented on the show tonight. :/

I like the concept of The Gift of The Gods Championship. I also like that if you chose to give it up for a shot for The Lucha Underground Championship, the seven medallions must be collected all over again.

Isn't the concept that other wrestlers compete for the 7 medallions? Does the champion get a shot at it too?

I like what they are doing with the gift of the gods and IMO it is what the MITB should be.
The gift of the gods has to be cashed in 1 week ahead of time for promotional reasons which IMO makes sense as an owner and even better I love that the holder of the gift of the gods is not being allowed to just hold it because they will be forced to put it for grabs thus losing it to someone else.
It is the perfect evolution of the MITB concept and puts the holder in as much pressuer as the guy he is looking to cash in on.

Yeah, I love everything about the GotG Belt. The dig at WWE was great too. I do wonder how the post-Gift match will work though.
All 7 get split up and let's say a person gets 2 and challenges for a 3rd, they have to be putting both of their's on the ling against the other person's 1 right? Then does the belt become a prize to win as well?
Either way, nice to see WMAC Masters having an influence on wrestling today.

I believe that if it gets given up for a shot at The LU Title they'll do what they did before, have matches with the winner getting one medallion and then a 7 way to see who wins it.

Yea thats how I understand it once it is cashed in the medallions go up for grabs and another 7 guys get a shot at the GOTG.

I am really digging the Gift of the Gods. It is part MITB, part G1 Trophy, part Dragon Balls and all awesome.

I was kind of disapointed that the belt didn't literally crackle and sparkle with magical energy when the medaillons touched it. The magnetized sockets are a cool touch though.

It wouldn't really be "Money in the Bank" if you had to give notice and actually beat the champ in a legit match. It's money in the bank because if you're willing to bide your time and cheap-shot the title is pretty-much yours. That said, I like the GotG concept hands-down better. It makes it feel more like a real sport that you have to earn the title rather than have a virtual gimmie because you won a ladder-match. Having to fight to hold on to the GotG adds excitement too, ups the level of gamesmanship when you not only have to look at when you want to challenge but have to contend with challengers of your own.

So I just now found this on a spanish channel and am watching for the first time. I'll try and get into it even though I don't really understand a damn of what is being said. But hey theres JoMo, ADR and Hernandez so ill give it a shot.
Is it bad that this jobber entrance guy just beat this Cage guy? Are they feuding? Is this a 1-2-3 Kid vs Razor Ramon situation he seems pretty pissed that he lost.
Martin from the last Tough enough wrestles here too?
lol at this guy doing a crotch chop.... a pedigree..... then an atomic leg drop while looking like JTG

He and Cage have been feuding for the past months since Cage attacked him backstage. As for entrances, it's not uncommon for guys to already be in the ring and win the match. There's a lot you need to catch up on if you're going to watch this. Youtube and Dailymotion is your friend and find recap sites as well.

I hope this experiment with the Believer's Backlash match works out well, I think that's a fantastic idea.
Although I don't think Hernandez and Drago are the right people to try it on, it should be done in a heel vs heel match so the fans can get the chance to really punish those bastards they hate.

Aren't the fans going to be lumberjacks with straps basically? TNA did one of those years ago with Jarrett and Samoa Joe which was excellent, really only hurt by the fact it wasn't for the title.

After watching the watch 37 weeks of LU in 37 min really makes me want a King Cuerno Vs Pentagon Jr feud.
IDK why but I think that would be just indescriably awesome and also I hope if there is a season 2 that King Cuerno gets the world title as he sadly really got left behind in the latter half of LU season 1.
