The Most Bizarre Lucha Underground Stars

There’s no better place to finish a list like this than with the family behind all of the madness: the Cueto family.

While we never got to meet any third cousins or long lost relatives, if they were anything like Dario Cueto, perhaps it was for the best that fans didn’t get to meet the rest of the Cueto clan. Raised with an unhealthy desire for blood and violence, Dario used his money to start Lucha Underground, turn a warehouse in Boyle Heights into The Temple we all know and love, and let everyone rip each other limb from limb, all while he sat somewhat comfortably in his office that was situated about eight feet from the ring itself. Dario was actually killed at the end of season three by a hitman, who was later revealed to be hired by his own father, Antonio, who always saw Dario as the weakest of his kids, despite Dario arguably being more insane than his much more dangerous brother.

The brother in question was “The Monster” Matanza Cueto, played by a man who has somehow found himself in even more family drama since signing for WWE earlier this year, Jeff “JC Mateo” Cobb. Supposedly possessed by an ancient god, Matanza was the murderous, unstoppable final boss of Lucha Underground who Dario would let loose on all of the promotion’s top babyfaces, before taking him back to his cage, where he had to be kept due to how dangerous he was, and how many people he had killed. One member of the family that fans never met was Matanza and Dario’s mother, but that was due to Matanza apparently killing her when he was young, an action that came about after their father forced Matanza into various underground fighting tournaments.
