A few weeks ago, throwing The Lucha House Party in the ring with Lars Sullivan would have meant just more bodies for The Freak to stack. Incredibly, however, Kalisto, Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik seem to have cracked the code of how to use their numbers against the typically unstoppable big man, leading to a retaliatory attempt by Sullivan just four days before he faces the trio in a Handicap Match.
The Freak once again walked away disappointed: Despite a strong opening against the self-styled “Lucha Avengers,” he found his efforts snapped by rapid-fire attacks from the trio and a triple dropkick that sent him tumbling through the ropes. This is simply a preamble to Friday’s scramble, but after the last two confrontations, this under-the-radar rivalry has become a matter of pride very fast. Vindication awaits, either for the scrappy underdogs who are on the cusp of slaying a giant, or the vengeful big man who let them have hope for far too long.
