Commentators: Kevin Kelly & Todd Romero
Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com
The 2nd episode of Season 2 opens up with ring announcer Nigel Sherrod interviewing the new LL-US Heavyweight Champion Lizmark Jr. in the entranceway. Lizmark comes out alongside his Treachery brothers and he says he told everyone that he is was the greatest Luchador of all time and his belt proves it. There is a painter at ringside who Lizmark hired to make a painting of him and he says that painting will be his legacy and it will live forever like his name. Nigel asks what’s next for Treachery but before he can say anything Sydistiko takes the microphone from him and tells him to leave. Sydsitiko says they’re one title down and he and RelliK will add the Tag Team Titles and show their dominance in LL-USA. He issues an open challenge to any tag team in LL-USA to face them tonight.
Magno and Rocky Romero walk out and accept the challenge! Rocky says they heard the open challenge and he’s new in LL-USA and he’s been waiting for the perfect debut and this seems like the perfect time. Sydistiko makes fun of Magno & Rocky and then he and Rellik hit the ring and attack the tecnicos.
Treachery w/Lizmark Jr. vs. Rocky Romero & Magno
Rellik beats on Magno, who falls to the mat. Romero sees this and then dives off of the back of Magno into a Diving Clothesline on Rellik that sends him over the top rope to the floor! Sydistiko then charges at them but Magno catches him and hits a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker! Magno holds Sydistiko over his knee and Romero starts running the ropes, back and forth building up momentum, and kicks Sydistiko in the head with a Sliding Dropkick! Things settle back down and Sydistiko and Romero will officially start the match off against each other in the ring. Sydistiko hits Romero with a knee and series of forearms and knees. Sydistiko whips Romero into the ropes and goes for a Forearm Smash, but Romero slides underneath Sydistiko’s legs and then Romero hits Sydistiko with a series of leg kicks and round kicks to the ribs. Sydistiko catches one of them and then Romero goes for an Enziguri, but Sydistiko ducks it only to have Romero hit a Leaping Backkick with his free leg!

The announcers mention that the man in black helped Treachery win last week but costs them the match this week.
In the back Liticia is with RJ Brewer and Petey Williams and she insinuates that Brewer was the man we just saw since he has a brace on his knee. Brewer says she’s dumb and claims he hurt the knee last week and says he would never wear a mask, let alone help someone who wears one. Brewer says that from day one he has been talking about what’s wrong with this company so with all the wrong’s he’s making a right…THE RIGHT. Petey says everyone in LL-USA will find out what The Right is and he’s been sitting at home for far too long watching the business be ruined by a bunch of circus performers that claim to be professional wrestlers. He says enough is enough and from this point forward everyone in LL-USA will find out if you’re not RIGHT then you’re 100% wrong.
Clips of Pequeno Halloween & Rebecca Reyes’ wedding are shown (and the aftermath, like her waking up wearing Pequeno Halloween facepaint). In the back Nigel talks about how she couldn’t remember how she got to the wedding chapel with Halloween and then he shows her a video that someone found. It shows Tigressa Caliente spiking her drink while she wasn’t looking.

Back from commercials Nigel is with Lizmark who is going to unveil his painting now. Lizmark screams at the fans to show him the respect he deserves as they chant “you suck” at him. Lizmark tells the crowd to bow down to him. Lizmark shows the painting which is actually pretty cool. He tells the crowd to bow down to him again but Marco’s music hits and he walks out. Marco says he didn’t come out for any beef and then he congratulates Lizmark on winning the belt even though he didn’t earn it. Marco says he just heard Lizmark telling everyone to bow down to him but they didn’t lose to him he did. That’s why he came out tonight to bow down and praise the champion. Marco bows to Lizmark and picks up a can of paint and says he thought the painting needed some new color and pours it all over the painting! Lizmark goes nuts.

After the match The Right celebrate in the ring and continue to attack Nova. They pull Super Nova’s mask off! Nova covers his face up and Magno runs out to chase off The Right. Magno places a towel over Nova’s head so no one can see his face. Magno picks up the microphone and challenges Brewer to a Mask vs. Hair Match for next week! Brewer says they’ve clearly started collecting masks already so he accepts it! Our first Mask vs. Hair Match in Lucha Libre USA!
FINAL THOUGHTS
As always we got a lot of great action tonight. It’s great to see Petey Williams back in the ring and on TV as TNA should have never gotten rid of him. They officially announced The Right as the 2nd group in LL-USA. There WILL be more members of the group joining.
Petey-Nova was a fun match with both guys working hard and putting on an entertaining Main Event. Brewer-Magno in the Mask vs. Hair Match should be great. Magno and Brewer feuded for almost all of Season 1 so they will put the nice finish to that feud next week with the FIRST Mask vs. Hair Match in Lucha Libre USA.
Treachery vs. Romero & Magno was a fun match and I really like Romero so it’s cool to see him in LL-USA.
The minis are always awesome but they really need to bring in more so we don’t have to see them in Mixed Tag Matches all the time, plus Tigresa is awful. She was awful in TNA and she’s still awful.
Lizmark was awesome tonight just messing with the crowd and having his ‘portrait’ painted only to have Marco ruin it with paint continuing their long term feud.
The crowd REALLY sucked as they were dead for almost everything, it wasn’t nearly that bad last week so I don’t know what the deal was today.
– Promo/Segment of the Night: Marco ruining Lizmark’s painting
