In Lucha Underground Season 1 Episode 3, titled "Crossing the Border," we see the continuation of the thrilling underground wrestling world that we were introduced to in the first two episodes. This time, the focus is on the journey of two luchadores known as "The Mack" and "Mascarita Sagrada," as they attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.

As we see in the opening scenes, The Mack is a fiercely talented wrestler but is struggling to make a name for himself in the cutthroat world of Lucha Underground. He's hoping that by crossing the border into the United States, he'll be able to find more lucrative opportunities to showcase his skills. Meanwhile, Mascarita Sagrada is a beloved luchador who is looking to make the same journey so that he can continue entertaining his fans.

The episode then takes us through their journey as they try to sneak across the border with the help of a coyote (a person who specializes in smuggling people across the border). We see the dangers that they face, all while knowing that one wrong move could end their careers in wrestling – or worse, their lives.

Eventually, after much anxious waiting, the two luchadores make it across the border and are able to start their new lives in the United States. However, the challenges don't stop there. In their new environment, they find themselves facing new opponents in the ring, all with unique styles and tactics that they'll have to adapt to if they want to succeed.

One of the highlights of this episode is the way that it showcases the physicality and danger inherent in the world of lucha libre. We see the wrestlers use an incredible array of acrobatics, flips, and throws to take down their opponents – and we also see the toll it takes on their bodies, with bruises, cuts, and scrapes dotting their skin. This gives the whole show a sense of authenticity that you might not expect from a wrestling-based drama.

Another standout aspect of the episode is the way it explores the different motivations and goals of the wrestlers. For some, like The Mack, fame and fortune are the driving force behind their passion for wrestling. For others, like Mascarita Sagrada, it's the joy of entertaining and connecting with audiences that keeps them going.

With "Crossing the Border," Lucha Underground continues to build a rich and engaging world filled with interesting characters and nail-biting matches. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves wrestling, action, or just great storytelling in general.
