A couple weeks ago, I wrote a description of the 2/3/16 episode of Lucha Underground in which Puma formed a Tag Team partnership with his rival — Pentagon Jr.
After their victory, the devious dick Pentagon attacked his own partner and tried to injure Our Shirtless Hero with his patented Arm Snapper maneuver. Now the two masked Luchadores are embroiled in an intense, homo-suggestive feud.
So two weeks later on the 2/17/16 episode of Lucha Underground (which could also be titled Puma Under-mined because of the frequency of his humiliating beat-downs), the two rivals squared off to try to settle their differences like men: by rolling around together in the ring.
The match, available on YouTube, featured plenty of impressive offense from both men, but here you know we’re going to focus on Puma being punished.
Pentagon gains control by whipping Puma into the post.
When the action spills out of the ring, we get the sense that Puma has foolishly given his evil opponent an advantage by exiting the safety of the ring, because Pentagon is a dirty cheater, willing to hurt guys by whipping them into steel posts as seen here.
Now Pentagon is making Our Hero look like a bum.
As usual, Puma is bullied without mercy, willingly placing himself in harm’s way and playing along in his own humiliation. Like here he lets Pentagon kick his legs out and he flips and crashes. It feels like Puma wants to be degraded and owned.
Puma is hereby crowned the Prince of Back-Pain Selling.
The main focus of Pentagon’s abuse is on Puma’s lower back. This is a good thing because I always enjoy how Puma sells back pain: squirming around suggestively in his tight orange leggings, twisting his well-defined torso to clutch at his injured spine, while under his mask, we can see his eyes clenched in pain and his mouth open as if to scream. It’s beautiful really — I hope all his opponents work on his back.
Yet another Spine Snapper applied to Broke Back Puma!
The most punishing and humiliating move had to be this dreadful Package Piledriver. The villain gets Our Hero’s head clamped between his thighs, then reaches down to grasp him under both hamstrings. Then he lifts his helpless victim upside-down, with Puma’s thighs spread apart, his tights nearly busting at the seams in his taint area.
My heavens does Puma look vulnerable in this position, and you just know something terrible and life-threatening is about to happen to him, which you hope is NOT being driven down on his head. Sure enough, that’s exactly what Pentagon does to our helpless Puma: spikes the spread-eagled chump right on the top of his head! Fuck! Poor broken Puma can nearly lick himself after that spine-cracker!
Oh lordy -- nobody should inflict this move on anybody!
After all that abuse, he will never be able to escape the Mexican Ceiling!
Sadly, the match didn’t really end like I wanted. Maybe I shouldn’t ruin the surprise by talking about how it ended.
Let’s just say, I prefer to see the Good Guy utterly defeated, humiliated, and continuing to suffer even after the bell. Call me sadistic, but that’s my vibe.
