This week on “Lucha Xtreme” it was all about Chavo Guerrero Jr. making his debut just in time for the LX World Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Episode 14 started with a promo from Chavo calling out the “INS Legacy” saying “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.” Chavo announced that he was the #1 contender for LX World Heavyweight Championship, and I can’t help but believe him.
The first match was D-Torch up against the dreaded Crimson Plague. D-torch was once again escorted to the ring by Savanah Riley (again). I wonder if that relationship is strictly business hmmmm?
D-Torch’s popularity continues to soar like his high-flying style of wrestling. Crimson Plague managed not to cheat as much as usual in this match but when he left the ring to harass Savanah Riley, D-Torch went flying over the top rope to save her, just like Superman. Although Torch is not the biggest man in the roster, he has tremendous courage and is an exciting wrestler to watch. D-Torch gets the win by pinfall against Crimson Plague, finishing him with his special “GOJIRA” driver.
The second match featured Jeckles the Jester taking on “Submission Machine” Bobby Hart. Both of these ring veterans are well versed in technical wrestling, but Jeckles is anything but by the book.
Jeckles tried to punk Bobby Hart by involving the ref with his hijinks. Bobby Hart flipped the script and used Jeckles’ trick against the Jester himself. Jeckles tried to end the match going for his “Joke-slam” but Hart easily reversed out of it and swept Jeckles to the mat and hooked him in a submission hold. That was all she wrote. Jeckles tapped out, giving the “Submission Machine” another win.
In the next match El Pistolero faced off against the rich and powerful Sheik Khan Abadi, who was escorted to the ring by Sheik’s Army member “Money” Mike Rayne. Mike carried with him a mysterious small briefcase, and you know it’s not going to be used to carry passports. The Sheik used all of the dirty tricks in the book, pulling Pistolero’s bandanna over his face and pulling on his trunks. “Money” Mike helped his crony by distracting the ref while Sheik choked El Pistolero, and when Sheik distracted the ref, Rayne walloped Pistolero with that hard metal case. With Pistolero out from the blow, it was easy for Sheik Khan Abadi to get the win by pinning his opponent.

OK, for the main event, Lucha Xtreme had its first elimination match to determine the contenders for the LX World Heavyweight World Championship. This match marked the debut of world famous athlete Chavo Guerrero Jr. to Lucha Xtreme Wrestling Entertainment. For those of you not familiar with Chavo, he is a 3rd generation professional wrestler, nephew of Eddie Guerrero, and holder of numerous titles including WCW World Cruiserweight title, WCW World Tag Team title, WWE (Smackdown) Tag Team title, WWE World Cruiserweight title, and WWE-ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) World title, which he won by defeating CM Punk (January 22, 2008). Not too shabby (understatement of the century).
So, who did Chavo face in this match? El Fuego. Against other wrestlers, Fuego has had little success, but up against Chavo? I figured he had about 0% chance. He did, however, have the access to Sheik Khan Abadi just outside the ring in his corner. Megastar Chavo took control of the match from the ring of the bell, dominating El Fuego and showing off his years of experience in the squared circle.
The Sheik tried his best to help out his man Fuego by holding Chavo’s boots and choking him when the ref was distracted. Despite that, Chavo caught Fuego with the 3 Amigos and finished him with a spectacular “Frog Splash.” After that it was 1-2-3 and Chavo got the pin against El Fuego, making him the 1st contender for the Lucha Xtreme Heavyweight World Championship.
