The video showed Fox being saved from a murder attempt. At the end, while still training in Boyle Heights, Fox saw Killshot standing atop a building.<\/p>\n<p>-Title Card<\/p>\n<p>Announcers: Vampiro welcomed the audience to the show. Striker and Vampiro built up the Cueto Cup matches coming up tonight.<\/p>\n<p>In ring: Santos introduced PJ Black followed by Sexy Star.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) \u201cTHE DAREWOLF\u201d P.J. BLACK vs. SEXY STAR\u2013 Cueto Cup first round match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Black slammed Star to begin the match. Star countered with a hurricarana and followed up with a tilt a whirl head scissors. Star climbed to the top rope and hit an arm drag. Black then came back and hit a suplex. Black climbed the top rope, but was tripped by Star. Star hit another hurricarana for a two count. Star pushed Black off the top rope then leaped onto him on the outside. She threw him back into the ring an hit a cross body for a two count. Taya walked out and slapped Star\u2019s leg for a distraction. Taya distracted the ref then threw brass knuckles to Black. Star countered then hit Black with the knuckles just as the referee turned around.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: P.J. Black via DQ at 4:16 to advance in the Cueto Cup. Dumb booking. I don\u2019t believe that Star\u2019s character would use a dirty tatic like that ater a heel failed to do so. This just makes Star look like an idiot. I also remember Striker saying plenty of times that the referees would be more flexible with the rules.<\/p>\n<p>Post match: Star argued with the ref then slapped him.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-253800633\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>[Break]<\/p>\n<p>Promo: Johnny Mundo vs. Rey Mysterio<\/p>\n<p>In ring: Santos introduced Son of Havoc.<\/p>\n<p>[Break]<\/p>\n<p>In ring: Santos hesitantly introduced Son on Madness. They an actual Son of Madness walked out to the ring. (I thought it was actually Son of Havoc last week.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) SON OF HAVOC vs. SON OF MADNESS \u2013 Cueto Cup first round match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Havoc charged Madness while he was on his way to the ring. The bell rang to start the match on the outside. Do they just decide some matches have flexible rules and some don\u2019t? Anyways, They brawled o the outside until Havoc threw Madness back into the ring. Madness fought back, but Havoc pulled Madness to the outside. Madness tripped Havoc on the outside. They continued the fight outside the ring. They both came back into the rig where Havoc took back control. Madness kicked Havoc off the apron the dove onto him through the ropes. Havoc fought back int the ring by gaining momentum. He hit a spring board cross body or a two count. Havoc had several near falls until he climbed to the top rope where he got caught by Madness. Havoc leaped onto Madness again. He missed a move from the top rope, but Havoc was able to roll up Madness for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Havoc at 8:42 to advance in the Cueto Cup.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3760063216\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Post match: Madness knocked over Havoc then took his leather vest.<\/p>\n<p>[Break]<\/p>\n<p>In ring: Santos introduced Prince Puma followed by Ricky Mandel.

Fox sprung onto Dragon and hit a seeded C4 or another near fall. They traded blows then Dragon hit a standing dragonfly CF. Both of them hit basement drop kicks on each other. Dragon tried to climb over to Rey. Rey was pulled off the ring apron by Taya then got beat down by the World Wide Underground. Dragon then dove onto everyone outside the ring. Fox then hit the Foxcatcher back in the ring for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Dante Fox at 9:05 to advance in the Cueto Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Post match: The Worl Wide Underground taunted Rey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Not as tightly booked of a show as last week. I don\u2019t like when there is an inconsistency to the rules. I don\u2019t buy the whole well Dario wants the refs to be flexible thing. It\u2019s just something convenient to say when they having booking holes. Just be consistent and know the characters. Sexy Star looked so stupid being caught with the brass knuckles. She is a character that\u2019s about honor and doing the right thing. I don\u2019t buy for a second she would actually try to cheat because that is not what we have been lead to believe with her character.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/06\/28\/628-lucha-underground-tv-report-taya-vs-ryan-killshot-vs-crane-paul-london-vs-vibora-veneno-vs-muertes\/\">6\/28 Lucha Underground TV Report: Taya vs. Ryan, Killshot vs. Crane, Paul London vs. Vibora, Veneno vs. Muertes<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-866969758\"><div id=\"pwtor-1715842652\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Lucha Underground Report: \u201cLeft For Dead\u201d July 5, 2017 Taped in Los Angeles, Calif.
