Pentagon And Rey Fenix Shoot Interviews
You can’t go more than a week without mentioning these two so it’s time for another talk about them.
This was a double shot as despite being top stars on their own, they are better known as a tag team. Both of them were launched into stardom thanks to Lucha Underground as the two of them are awesome talents who got a lot of support from the American fans who had never seen them before. They have dominated almost every promotion they’ve been in since then and that will likely be the case going forward as well.
The DVD is one long video instead of the double disc set advertised on the back, but both interviews are presented in full (The advertised bonus match with Pentagon vs. Sami Callihan is nowhere to be found. Presumably it would be on the double disc set.). The interviews, which were filmed in late August/early September 2016 (I love picking up on context clues to figure out the date, but they flat out say a show was two weeks ago at one point so it took away some of the fun) are similar as they came up together and got their starts in similar placed.
These interviews are more traditional shoots as they talk about their careers and favorite matches, along with what they have done to get where they are. This was filmed during the height of Lucha Underground so the promotion is mentioned a lot. Their careers in Mexico are heavily discussed and thankfully the interviewer clearly knows his lucha as it helped quite a bit. The interviews are good if you’re a fan of both guys, though there are some in-depth lucha libre discussions so you might need a bit of research to know what they’re talking about.
If you check it out, you might want to watch it in two parts as the interviews are aired back to back. You’ll hear a lot of the same information but it is presented differently enough to make it work. Pentagon uses a translator to answer and Fenix uses English, which is certainly clear enough to understand. Watch it if you’re a fan but it’s nothing worth the nearly three hours combined.
