Canek Jr. is his father's cornerman. Rayman is NOT his father's cornerman, though that would be fun. I don't actually see one, and I think Rayo doesn't see one either - he wants Hijo del Canek to leave to even it up. While that's salted, Canek comes out of the ring and attacks Rayo. Canek tries to smash Rayo's head into the post, and it's either blocked or very weak. Rayo takes the next try on his shoulder. They brawl in front of the crowd, throwing as many punches as chops. Rayo has a momentarily edge, but then Canek finds ways to get his kicks in. Both in. Canek keeps Rayo down with an elbow drop, and stomps him. Canek holding and arm around the middle rope and posing. Up, armbar, short clothesline by Canek (eh) and a senton I guess. Canek rips Rayo's mask two minutes in (and the first 30 seconds were stalling with Hijo.) Rayo's trying to get up but Canek keeps on stomping him down. Posing is worked in. More stomps. Choke on the rope. This is exactly as slow paced as you'd expected. Canek now is untying Rayo's mask while choking him on the ropes, and the referee is warning him without doing much. Canek's slowly pulling the mask off, and now the referee tries to step in to stop him. Canek relents, whips Rayo, and knocks him down with a weak clothesline. Whip, backdrop, elbow drop. One two Canek pulls him up. Canek grabs an armbar and throws Rayo around. One two Canek pulls him up. Why are you even covering him? Whip, head down too soon, and Rayo rolls him up with a small package one two three. (5:10) This match is literally putting me to sleep. I really want to take a nap. Canek can't believe he lost the fall - maybe he should've have kept pulling up Rayo. Replays, and the slow motion is quite unnecessary here.
Rayo's outside recovering between falls, and has to evade Canek on the way back in. Canek takes control by stomping on Rayo's foot! And then kicking him down. Canek stretches Rayo's foot around the bottom rope. Kick to the hamstring. Elbow drop to the leg. And again. And again. Leg bar. This is methodical. Rayo eventually battles out with punches, and starts a comeback. Rayo's black gloves seem really odd. Rayo gets a nearfall on a legdrop, but pulls Canek up at two and goes after his mask. Rayo rips it big, and bites Canek's forehead. Back up for more brawling, Rayo again pulling Canek up after a clothesline. Chinlock on. Hijo de Canek returns, distracting the referee and Rayo. Rayo turns back around, Canek pulls his mask, and covers him for the pin. (3:53) Good job keeping him from ringside. Rayo doesn't put his mask on, instead holding his face for a while. Replays. Break.
Black Warrior wishes a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
This time, it's Canek outside the ring, waiting for the fall to start to come in. When he climbs thru the ropes, Rayo kicks them, and Canek goes down, hoping for a foul call. No dice. Rayo lands on elbow drop to the inside of the leg, and Canek flops around like he's been electrocuted. Rayo works over the right leg, before getting yelled at by the ref for something. They're looking at something we do not - I bet it 's Hijo de Canek? Is it an announcer? Whatever the case, it allows Canek to recover and attack Rayo again. Corner whip, reversed, and Canek gets in the corner heel kick. Senton. One two Rayo kicked out but Canek was moving off him anyway and it was an annoying slow count. So much to hate. Rayo gets back control, and puts on a half nelson. Canek is in pain, but pats on Rayo's back to imitate the referee indicating a win. Rayo buys it, then realizes what happens before Canek has a chance to attack him. Grounded crucifix rollup gets two. Canek tries a cross armbreaker, but Rayo scissors the ropes with is feet. Canek takes his time letting go. Rayo back in control no reason, and working over Canek's right leg again. Rayo puts on a leg hold while in the ropes, which gets him a count from the refs. Then, they both rip at each other's masks. Canek slams Rayo, and heads up. Bad idea. Fans know it. Waiting for Rayo to get up, waiting, waiting, plancha connects! One two NO! Canek complains about the slow count. Canek with another slam. Up again, but this time posing to the crowd and not seeing Rayo coming. Rayo tosses him off the rope rope, then dropkicks him out. Tope just gets the job done. Both men are out on the floor. Replays. Rayo in first. Rayo relaxes, thinking he's the only one who made the count, and Canek sneaks up behind him, pulling him in a cavernaria. He only holds on briefly. Slow to follow up. Long look at the crowd, and Rayo's randomly in control when we come back. Reverse tope connects. One two no. Slowest slow count ever, and the fans are on him for it. Oh, maybe they're booing Hijo del Canek, who's out once again. Rayo looks at him again, and Canek low blows him this time. Referee is getting rid of Hijo del Canek and isn't into count. Canek makes his own count of three and celebrates, but I don't believe that works. Hijo del Canek wants the referee to turn around, but he won't know. Canek is celebrating, but Rayo is up - low blow uppercut. Now the ref turns around, one two three. (7:50) Hijo del Canek can't believe this miscarriage of justice. Replays of the low blows. They talk. I try not to pass out.
Mascara Aņo 2000 says it's very important to watch the CMLL stars on 52MX.
Match 2: Kenzo Suzuki (c), Olimpico, Mascara Aņo 2000 vs
Dos Caras Jr. (c), Hijo de Lizmark, Ultimo Dragon
Arena Mexico, 12/09/05
Winner: Tecnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 16:38
Approx Rating: Fine. Kenzo didn't kill me, so that's good.
Other Match Notes: No entrances. I find it unfair that I have to put
Kenzo back in my dictionary. 52MX needs to put "Suzuki" in their
dictionary, because they miss and by a lot.
Olimpico and Ultimo to start, with a normal opening armdrag sequence. Lizmark and Surfer Mascara are in. MY2K and his new tights want to try and out muscle Lizmark, and it's not happening. Lizmark out armdrags him too, but Mascara outsmarts him by elbow dropping him on drop down. Lizmark "lands" the superkick to end it, though he teases a way too early dive. It's Kenzo's turn, and he has absolutely no idea - he walks to the floor to check on Mascara, he gets back on the apron, walks to a neutral corner, and swings into the ring from there. Dos is waiting for him. Kenzo's very upset about this matchup and the crowd. Lockup, break. Lockup, break. Announcer are talking up Dos and Kenzo. Kenzo gets Dos in the corner, and does some awful knife edge chops. Perhaps' they're supposed to be karate chops. Dos does chest slaps, which are better, but the standard is low. Snap mare, Dos puts in a submission and the rudos hit the ring. Kenzo sits around recovering until they lay out Dos for him, so eh can go after his mask. Beatdown is not particularly interesting, except for Kenzo low blow knee dropping Lizmark and getting away with it. Kenzo must've botched something bad, because they cut to a crowd shot as he was charging Ultimo. Lizmark is n now for the triple team, and takes a triple backdrop. Kenzo tries a wacky kneedrop. Double suplex for Lizmark, and he's held for a Olimpico middle rope missile dropkick. Double Boston crab on Lizmark takes care of him. (7:13) Dos comes in to stick up for his team, and MY2K gives him a back suplex. Olimpico and Kenzo try bowing to each other, and then a double elbow drop. Dos takes corner charges, and an ugly looking bulldog from Kenzo. Mascara finishes this finally with a top rope splash. (8:03) Did Kenzo try a strut? Huh
Next Week: Dos Caras, Dr. Wagner, Ultimo Guerrero, Lizmark Jr.
Ultimo Dragon is being worked on as the ring girl signals fall 2. Kenzo scrapes his face along the ropes. Double press gutbuster by the Mexicans, and Kenzo adds a clothesline. Lizmark in, and worked over. Double hiptoss from him, and Kenzo does his dancing kneedrop. Holding the knee in for no reason - ah, it gives Dos a chance to attack him from behind, though it doesn't last long. Double whip, Olimpico and Mascara put their heads down too soon, and Dos kicks both of them. Kenzo's looking the other way and goofing around. Dos kills Mascara with a clothesline, the tecnicos storm the ring, and Kenzo finally turns around in time to take a superkick from Lizmark. Dos brawls with Kenzo, Ultimo with Olimpico, and Lizmark wrestlers Mascara in the middle of the ring. Lizmark superkicks him out as Dragon and Olimpico come in, but Olimpico doesn't want to face him. Snap mare, double boot scrape, kick to the back. Olimpico works him over with kicks, and then hits the Asai DDT one two three. (2:39) Lizmark gets Mascara with a tilt-a-whirl slam and that's it. (2:48) Kenzo bails rather than face Dos. Replays.
Kenzo's still away from the ring when the third fall starts, so it'll be Olimpico and Ultimo - if Olimpico can just get a handshake. We miss how that turns out look at the crowd. They evade on the run for a while till Dragon gets a spinning headscissors and the handspring elbow. Dive is teased, but Olimpico bails. Dos is in and wants Kenzo, but I don't think Kenzo is coming in. Finally, he does. Kenzo is mad at the crowd for making noise. Dos finally gets bored and kicks him. Both off the ropes, shoulderblock, no one moves. Kenzo is pumped. off the ropes, again no. Again - no, Kenzo tries a clothesline, Dos ducks, and runs him over with a shoulderblock. Dos climbs the corner on the run, moonsaulting to his feet over Kenzo, and that looked neat. Olimpico tries to help, fails. Running up corner enziguri for Kenzo, who takes a Flair Flop off it. Dos was so not expecting that, and was trying to figure out why he wouldn't fall down already. Olimpico goes to the top, but his plancha is caught, and Dos tosses him fin a fallaway slam. Dos teases a dive with a 619, and poses. Lizmark and Mascara re last, oddly enough, but get going quick. Mascara gets an edge with a clothesline, but that means Lizmark can spinaroonie up. Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, superkick, clothesline out for Mascara, and here's the TOPE. Dragon and Olimpico in, and Dragon destroys Olimpico with kicks, sending him out and landing the Asai Moonsault. Kenzo and Dos left back in, but Kenzo's stalling - replay of the moonsault. Kenzo annoyed at the crowd again. Kenzo tries a clothesline, Dos ducks and lands an enziguri for two. Dos misses a clothesline, Kenzo hits a palm thrust (!) and scares the heck out of he me with a odd looking suplex. Feet on the rope cover, one two Baby Richard holds up, noticing the feet. Kenzo trips over Dos in arguing about that, and misses Dos getting up - inside cradle, one two three. (5:47) Kenzo goes after Dos post match, but Lizmark kicks him away.
That's it.
