Cuerno throws Puma of the ropes and Texano hits him with the bull rope and Cuerno hits the “Thrill of the Hunt” and gets the pin for the win.

Winner: King Cuerno, Texano, and Cage they advance to the Finals.

My View: Wow this match was amazing. I am a little baffled why they didn’t protect the champion and had him be the one to get pinned.

After the match Cuerno comes out and says congratulations. He says he wants a preview of next week with one member of each team that qualified for the finals of the Trios Tournament to compete in a Triple Threat match tonight as we go to a break.

On the outside Cage throws Mack into the ring barrier. Cage rushes into the ring and hits “Weapon X’ on Havoc and gets the in for the win.

Winner: Cage

My View: Wow another high impact and fast paced match. We never got the story on why Mack never went to WWE after it was reported he was. He is a great talent and is showing that here. Son of havoc continues to show he needs to be in the Main Event picture. Cage was a beast as always and continues to improve.

Striker says our Main Event of Drago vs. Aerostar is next as we go to a break.

Back from the break Cueto talks to Drago much like he did Aerostar trying to get in his head.

Back in the ring we see Pentagon Jr. Striker says he isn’t scheduled to wrestle. Melissa Santos says Pentagon Jr. would like her to announce his next sacrifice is dedicated to his Master. Pentagon Jr. attacks Melissa Santos. Vampiro goes to get into the ring but before he can Sexy Star attacks Pentagon Jr. saving Melissa Santos. Sexy Star gets Melissa out of the ring she then says “you have really crossed the line this time you asshole, this is enough” to pentagon Jr. Striker takes us to a break.

My View: This was short but put a great deal of heat on Pentagon Jr. The feud between him and Sexy Star is just getting started it appears.

Back from the break Cueto is in the ring. He says Melissa is shaken up so he will do the honors. The winner of this Lucha will win one of his unique opportunities. Aerostar is out first followed by Drago.

Winner: Drago

After the match Drago raises the hand of Aerostar showing his respect for Aerostar. They shake hands and hug as Aerostar leaves the ring. Cueto comes into the ring and congratulates Drago. Cueto says Drago has earned a shot at Prince Puma and the Lucha Underground Championship. Cueto says there is a catch if Drago does not win he will be banned from the temple forever. We go off the air with Drago in the ring looking confused.

My View: Another great match but I am sure both men are glad it’s over. None of the matches were as good as the first, but all were great. Drago now has an opportunity for the belt but I can’t see him winning so makes me wonder why you might take one of your most exciting wrestlers off TV. We will have to see how it plays out. I will see you all next time in the Temple.
