[6.0] "The episode just starts with 10 people in the ring. No real explanation, it's just something that's happening. We see Puma with very poorly bandaged ribs (The tape does come off almost immediately because it starts falling off as soon as he starts moving.) they explain on commentary that it's injuries from the ladder match, and they get sold a little bit but not very much. Also Superfly is yellow now. And Danny Trejo is here. You can't forget about that. Dario comes out in sunglasses with black eye makeup, selling the Mundo punch from the previous episode which is great. He declares two 10 man matches with a special surprise at the end for the winners. (Well technically one of the winners gets rewarded, the other one is punished) The first match goes pretty well. It's first to get a pinfall wins and Fenix is able to take advantage of an injured Puma to get the win. You're never going to believe it but we get basically the exact same Cage teaser promo again. He's pretty buff and likes exercising and talks like a motivational speaker and calls himself the machine and keeps hitting the tire with a sledgehammer. We also get a completely different segment with Conan yelling at Puma in the bathroom for losing and saying that if he keeps wasting opportunities there won't be any more opportunities and also he won't be there. Puma continues to not talk. Then there's the second 10-man match and this time the only people that get entrances are Mundo and Chavo. This one is won by Mil, but we do get multiple mysterious Asian woman appearances throughout so that's kind of cool. Also the random guy that interrupted the ladder match gets a name and it's Bael. Dario then reveals that he's introducing a championship and it's a setup for Aztec warfare. During this speech the audience starts sorta doing the what chant. So I mean I'm glad it's just inescapable I guess. Then we have the main event which is Mil and Fenix. The winner gets to come out last for Aztec warfare and the loser gets to come out first. He did mention that both prizes were better than $100, 000 and I don't think that the punishment is better than $100, 000. Mil wins but it's really like a nothing match honestly. I don't remember very much from it at all outside of it being okay. The match isn't bad or anything I just struggled to really care about any of it. It was all distinctly very okay. Mil has control for the vast majority of the match but Fenix gets a lot of his moves in. Mil wins and Fenix gets the lick from Catrina. Vampiro calls it the #LickOfDeath and I don't know why you would call it that. Then Mil and Catrina get to kiss all romantically so I guess that's nice. Then we go back to Dario in his weird mystery prison where he talks about how the championship is made up of gold from the seven Aztec tribes and he won't let the person in prison touch it because they like to destroy pretty things. It's a set-up show, so it's solid, but not amazing or anything"

[7.0] "Best episode so far, as the ten man match was the highlight of the night. For a battle royal, that one was fun as well. The main event was kind of bland."

[7.0] "A very cool way to use twenty wrestlers in one show, showed off the majority of the roster in a meaningful way"

[7.0] "This was easily the most consistent episode, so far. The story lines they've been building are starting to pay off, making for a more enjoyable viewing experience. The Ten Way Match between Fenix, Big Ryck, Drago, El Mariachi Loco, King Cuerno, Mascarita Sagrada, Pentagon, Jr., Prince Puma, Son of Havoc, and Super Fly was the match of the night, and one of the best overall, so far. The Battle Royal was well above average, and really boosted Johnny Mundo despite his loss. Finally, Mil Muertes and Fenix had a good match despite both of them being on their second match of the night."

[8.0] "The most wrestling focused episode so far in the season. Show starts off with a crazy 10 man match where everyone gets a few moments to shine. Ryck does a bunch of power moves and has some funny interactions with Mascarita, Son of Havoc shows some personality, and we get a bunch of really good nearfalls back to back. Very much a spot fest but really fun opener that Fenix wins (8/10) Next there's a short backstage segment to show some tension between Puma and Konnan and we immediately go to the second match. A 10 man battle royale that starts off fairly average but gets going once the less important wrsetlers are out. Johnny is playing the underdog, avoiding elimination by the skin of his teeth multiple times, while Mil Muertes is being the unstoppable monster. Chavo also gets some time to shine specially once its down to final three. Muertes wins in a fairly good bout (7/10) Dario sets up Aztec Warfare for the next episode and both winners return to see who's number 20 and whos number 1. The main event is short but sweet. A lot of good highflying by Fenix and a strong showing from Muertes. Made sense in story and was a nice closer (7/10)"

[6.0] "The matches after the opener weren't very interesting to me, but the opener was really good and the story has me intrigued for next week which made it a decent episode in my opinion. [MOTN: Big Ryck vs. Drago vs. El Mariachi Loco vs. Fenix vs. King Cuerno vs. Mascarita Sagrada vs. Pentagon Jr. vs. Prince Puma vs. Son Of Havoc vs. Super Fly]"

[7.0] "A solid episode to build in just one show all that is to come in Aztec Warfare. Finally the Lucha Underground Championship is introduced. The storylines take a break here to develop this which looks like it will become the main plot during these next few episodes."

[7.0] "Nice show building up to the Aztec Warfare. The ten way match was excellent, a really fun spotfest in which some wrestlers had the oportunity to shine. Fenix, Puma, Son of Havoc and Big Ryck were the bests. The battle royal was fun, but not as exciting as the first match. And the main event had a logical outcome, even if the match itself was really short and not much interesting. Anyway, a good show to build up the road for the title, I'm invested."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 15.06.2023:
[7.0] "This episode was very much a setup show for next week's Aztec Warfare, but it was very effective in that role. Tight and logical booking with the winners of the scramble and battle royal matches facing off at the end with the winner getting the last entry in the Aztec Warfare match, while the loser is stuck with the first entry (and, naturally, the already-imposing villain ends up getting the advantageous spot while the plucky babyface ends up with the uphill battle). In terms of match quality, the ten-man scramble was the best of the night, with lots of exciting spots that managed to tell a cohesive story leading to Fenix' win - actually rather impressive for a match with that many people involved. The battle royal was fine and the main event was short and didn't allow for them to go all out, but was effective in its plot of exhausted babyface vs. supernaturally-powerful heel and filled its role as setup for next week's match."

[7.0] "Things are finally coming to a climax. Opening 10 way match was pretty good with all the high flying spots and sequences, ****. The battle royal was fine with Mil getting the upset on Mundo of all people, ***1/2. Main event was short, but progressed the plot in a very unique way, ***1/2."

[6.0] "An average episode, the first match was great, the 2nd was ok and the last was meh, but the storylines are developing nicely."
The Chosen One wrote on 27.02.2016:
[8.0] "Great show. The opening ten man match was MOTN. All of the Luchadors in it were great and all had their great spots. Mascarita really impressed me in this match. Second 10 man was good as well. I wish Pimpinela wasnt in it as I fealt he never did anything good. Mil was impressive in this match. Last match was pretty good although I didnt like the outcome of it."

[9.0] "I love when an episode really focus in on one thing, and this is a great example of that. The opening match stole the show, of course, but all the matches were above average and built well towards both the final confrontation (a prelude of things to come) and also to the upcoming introduction of the title. Gotta love LU!"

[6.0] "The first match was just surreal. Probably it was the best 8+ men match I've ever seen in my entire life. The second battle royal was just OK and the Main Event wasn't that bad. But now I'm excited with the new championship. It means that we will have a lot of Lucha Underground yet to come. This company has the best product in matters of wrestling these days."
