Lots of great Penta appreciation, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Fenix' Grave Consequences match against Mil Muertes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icvizxc3UB0

He did some sick bumps into the coffin, had his mask almost entirely ripped off, bleed like crazy, and still hit plenty of crazy moves.

Aside from that match specifically, there's also this:

I've been trying to find the match for like a day now and I can't find it. But I have one moment stuck in my head of Rey Fenix getting like a rope assisted 15 feet of air to land a move, but it was on a dark match or some poo poo. I just remember thinking "This guy has the power to break the laws of physics and he's just doing that poo poo for giggles, this is a no-stakes match against a jobber and he's still going this loving hard". I think it was a singles match but I could be wrong.

Anyways idk if that's my favorite Lucha Bros, but it definitely is the one that sticks in my mind.

Not sure which match it was, but at the end of 2020/beginning of 2021 Fenix had a series of matches on Dark where, like you said, it was just most jobber squashes, but every single match had at least one spot where I went "What the hell kind of insane move was that?!?" and left in awe at the stuff that Fenix was pulling out against guys like KC Navarro, Baron Black or Vary Morales.

But actually now that I think about it, the spot you talk about may have been in the 6-man match at Beach Break (Fenix/Pac/Mox against Kenny/Good Brothers) where Rey jumped onto the second rope and did like the highest highcross ever.



Also, never forget the time he absolutely decapitated Orange Cassidy with a flying kick from offscreen.

Also also, since I forgot it, yes to the gangtag, please.

Also, I remember an early Dynamite where Fenix flew off screen with no warning. He was jumping onto someone outside the ring, but he moves so fast it looked like he was flying away.

sometimes he has to go, his home planet needs him (and unfortunately he gets injured along the way :( )

Oh poo poo this was definitely it. I was way off about it being a singles match against a jobber.

I did rewatch the KC Navarro and Baron Black dark matches trying to find the spot and they're still p great.

(Also I would like a gangtag please, didn't mention that in my first post)

i remember the first match i saw the lucha bros in outside of lu, i think it might have been that king of trios? seeing fenix do his stuff in a situation that wasn't as tightly controlled and edited as lucha underground but working still so crisp and flawless was mindblowing. the dude is inhuman
and also i would like to have the amazing gang tag thank you

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
It's already long so ditch the Triangulo one for the straight Penta gangtag.

When Penta was mystified by himself appearing in the ring, tied with Penta in general just being the coolest.

Would love the tag, replacing the Warcraft one.

Hell yeah. I think luchadores bleeding with their mask all ripped up might be my favorite thing in wrestling.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Love the St Patrick’s day Riddler Penta and I finally got my hands on this guy:



I’ll drop my Death Triangle tag for this one. I don’t need it any obnoxiously longer.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I don't want the tag but one of my favorite Lucha Bros moments was an Impact show, maybe during Wrestlemania week where the Lucha Bros' opponents didn't show up that night for whatever reason and they decided they'd just beat the poo poo out of each other. Pentagon did his usual trash-talking in the ring which included screaming at Fenix "Your mother is a whore!"

Rey Fenix doing a springboard headbutt off the middle rope that got so much air I went back afterwards to screencap it, because holy poo poo I popped for that headbutt.

This one goes out to all the Legomaniacs!
Earlier this year, I went to a Comic Con-type event here in Melbourne, Australia, and was lucky enough to buy these guys.



I’m hoping to build a Lego creation based on Penta’s mask, but I’ve only done a little bit of planning for it so far.

Edit: I’d like to have a gang tag, please. It’ll be my first one!

I once saw Penta chop a man so hard that it reached through my screen and left a welt on my own chest.

Actually this happens every time Penta chops a man, but I wear those scars with pride.

I'm a dumbass euro who rarely stays up until 4am to light the fuse and DB retirement put me off wrestling for a long time and then I started watching aew and after 2 Rey Fenix matches I'm like "sweet Jesus this guy is the best wrestler in the world" and then I saw Penta do a Canadian destroyer and wear a St paddy's hat and suddenly I'm spending 30 euros in shipping alone to get a very nice t-shirt.

I've seen two Penta vs Omega matches and they were both incredible; Penta's presence and charisma are drat near unmatched. Him vs Orange Cassidy was also tremendous, as was Fenix vs OC and Fenix's run of insane matches on Dark.

I think my favorite moment for both guys was their Dynamite match that was so good, AEW booked a rematch for that and no other reason and it also ruled.

My favorite Penta memory is watching him in some random independent lucha show where it was pouring rain and the ring was absolutely flooded & unsafe to work in, so Penta just spent the entire match brawling through the crowd and busting up his opponent while yelling obscenities.

My favorite Fenix memory is the first time I saw him soccer kick a dude in the face while running the ropes. It was rapturous.

Slam that tag underneath the current one if possible, please and thank you!
