Match 1: Amapola, Hiroka, La Nazi (c) vs Marcela (c), Sahori, India Sioux
Arena Coliseo, 11/01/05
Winner: Tecnicas - Marcela powerbomb La Nazi
Match Time: 11:17
Approx Rating: Good.
Other Match Notes: As seen in the open, all the women are semi-dressed
up in Halloween costumes. Marcela and Sahori are witches. India Sioux is - an
Indian! La Nazi is - a Nazi! Deep thought went into these costumes. Amapola
appears to have dressed as Amapola and we never see Hiroka's entrance. Marcela
has the belt. Eventually, they decide on Hiroka and Marcela starting. Marcela holds Hiroka down in an
armbar, Hiroka gets a headscissors reversal, Marcela escapes into a pin for one. More mat
wrestling, with Marcela looking the sharper
of the two. Hiroka drops Marcela with a dropkick to the knee, but Marcela gets
the usual spinning headscissors to send her out. Tags - India Sioux and Amapola.
Small chant for India. Fast initials sequence ends with India being armdrags, and
she quickly gets her own, holding onto stay on top for two. More armdrags - one
with a nice kip up after, one as a an escape from a fireman's carry. Amapola
slides out and we get tags. Hiroka vs La Nazi. There's a size difference here,
and Hiroka's takedowns wont' work. She waves in India Sioux while La Nazi poses,
and they both take La Nazi down. Both off the rope, double clothesline misses,
La Nazi clotheslines them both. Hiroka rushes cross ring to knock Marcela off
the apron as Amapola also comes into help her partner. Hiroka sent out, India
whipped, and La Nazi works to lift India on her shoulder so Amapola can missile
dropkick her down. Marcela in, double team spinebuster for her. Amapola lifts
her up in a waistlock, and Hiroka knocks her down with a springboard dropkick.
Hiroka's turn. Double hiptoss, Hiroka legdrop doesn't look good at all. Hey,
want to try pinning someone? Oh, yea, one fall. India back in, struck down, and
kicked out. Hiroka tries jumping on La Nazi's back, but she's thrown off.
Corner whip, Hiroka's corner clothesline is not so good (though the sell certainly
doesn't help), Amapola's running back elbow is better, La Nazi's back
elbow is fine. Rudas have no one to fight. Marcela comes back in as everyone but
La Nazi goes to the apron. Nazi keeps knocking Marcela down with big kicks and punches. Whip,. reversed, and India and Hiroka trip up La
Nazi from the topside.
They pull her out while Marcela ducks a double clothesline and lands one of her
own. La Nazi is kicked down on the outside and the tecnicas come in to watch Marcela
give Hiroka a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. La Nazi back in, and everyone leaves her for
Marcela Nazi misses on a clothesline and a back elbow, but catches Marcela on a cross body. La Nazi drops her, backs off the ropes, and
goes for a big splash - but doesn't come close. Marcela charges Nazi, Nazi
backdrops her, Marcela lands on the apron, Nazi doesn't realize it and ends
up taking turnbuckle smashes. Marcela climbing up - off the top rope into an
armdrags. Marcela teases a dive again and celebrates. La Nazi lands in some
guy's laugh, who laughs about it. Amapola and Hiroka are in the ring next, and
Hiroka's doing fine, even getting a bodyscissors armdrags, but stops to celebrate
and gets knocked in the back of the head. Hiroka quickly comes back
with a corner kip up headscissors. Hiroka lands a Stunner (which Amapola sells
like a jawbreaker - still better than usual) and dropkick to send her out. Tags
to India and Hiroka; India tries to start a chant again, and then catches Hiroka
by surprise with a kick. They're making a lot of noise, but it doesn't seem too
coordinated. India manages to roll over a backdrop attempt on her feet, than springboard
flip over Hiroka. Loose looking headscissors sends Hiroka to the
ropes, and a dropkick sends her out. Dive? Well, not if the ref wanders in her
way- but it was a fake anyway so Sahori could lands a silla on Hiroka instead.
Amapola attacks India while she's watching that happen, and whips her in the comer
- so India climbs the corner and lands a plancha on Sahori. Amapola looks
out there and urges Hiroka to grab someone so she can dive - thru the ropes tope
con giro! Amapola is the real deal. Is La Nazi going to dive? Thank the lord,
Marcela cut her off with a missile dropkick. 'rana one two NO. La Nazi's up and
she's angry. Chest slap, whip, reversed, La Nazi tries a 'rana (?) and Marcela
powerbombs her one two three. (11:17) That was fun. Tecnicas celebrate.
Vignette: Groon XXX in the hospital. He's got a shin injury, and he's talking to the doctor with his mask on. We look at an x-ray of his leg, with the multiple screws and bar in it. Groon makes sure to flex his pecs while this is going on. Those deadspots in his leg don't look good. Groon somehow blames Ultimo for all of this and starts cutting a promo on the cameraman. What a freak.
Match 2: Ultimo Dragon, Hijo de Pierroth, Mistico, Sagrado vs Atlantis, Mephisto, Maximo, Gedo
in the Group B Leyenda
de Plata Cibernetico
Arena Mexico, 11/04/06
Winner: Atlantis
Match Time: 17:35
Approx Rating: About on par with last week's match; nothing great but
acceptable.
Other Match Notes: Everyone's hanging out in the ring, in rudo and
tecnico groups, as we look on, but I bet we're not seeing the battle royal. Yea,
we get the teams. Break before we get started.
Atlantis is not happy with Maximo for some reason as we return. I think Atlantis wants to trade him to the other team to complete the all rudo team. Ultimo Dragon and Hijo de Pierroth try to make the trade happen, but the refs don't go for it. Seems like there's a clip here.
Atlantis and Ultimo Dragon. Fans are very anti-Atlantis. Ultimo Dragon seems disappointed in him. Atlantis chest slap, head lock, shot off, shoulderblock. Over, under - no, he clocks Ultimo with a chest slap on the leapfrog. Corner whip, Dragon kips up and out, drop toe hold to Atlantis and running over his back. There's the WOW cross body, Atlantis tries a tilt-a-whirl but Dragon escapes to his feet, Atlantis sneaks in a shot to the midsection, snap mare to the ground, Atlantis tries to drive a knee to Dragon's head but Ultimo moves out of the way (Atlantis sells his knee) and hits his three kick combo. Atlantis out before it can go worse. Tags to to Hijo and Gedo. Gedo waves away a dropkick and throws Pierroth in the corner. Corner whip, Pierroth climbs the ropes and moonsault out, Gedo usually moves up underneath, Pierroth grabs him and gives him a DDT. Dropkick, out goes Gedo, Pierroth out after him with a slingshot tope con giro. Mistico and Mephisto in, and Mephisto spins Mistico out with a shoulderblock. Stomps. Mistico trips up Mep and tries to go off the ropes, but Atlantis sneaks up on the apron to knee him in the back and hold him for Mep. Mep off the opposite ropes, but Sagrado helps out Mistico with a kick to Mep's back. Mistico breaks from Atlantis, charges Mep, gets backdropped over the ropes, but uses Sagrado's back to flip back in into a spinning headscissors on Mep. TOPE! Maximo and Pierroth in, and Pierroth immediately gets leg kicked into the ropes. Double jump butt bump one two three (2:35)
Gedo is in and immediately working over Maximo methodically with strikes. Maximo ends up climbing to the top rope on a corner whip, and surprises Sagrado with a plancha! Dragon in and kicking around Gedo. Gedo stops the flurry with an inverted atomic drop. Jawbreaker. Complete Shot, One two NO. We split screen it to see Maximo's pin of Hijo de Pierroth. Gedo's taking his time climbing to the top rope for the splash, and Dragon is up in plenty of time to crotch him. Dragon joins Gedo on the ropes and tries a superplex, but Gedo blocks it. This takes a while, but Dragon ends up with the superplex. Both are down, and then Dragon manages to put an arm on top of Gedo one two no. Dragon tries another kick, Gedo ducks under and inside cradles him one two NO. Dragon ducks a punch, backslide is blocked, Dragon ducks a clothesline, kick wham Asai DDT one two three. (4:43)
Atlantis stomps Dragon down before he has a chance to get back up. Slam, as we take a look at the crowd and a replay. Corner clotheslines by Atlantis, falling backwards into a DDT as the crowd gets all over Atlantis. Weird random time for a break, but there it it is. (5:20)
They stopped the tape machine during the break, as Atlantis is just returning to the ring after protesting the crowd's chants. Whip, head down too soon, Dragon flips off Atlantis' back and dropkicks him out. Dragon looks around before slingshotting to the apron. Before he can dive, Atlantis pulls him off the apron and slams him on the floor. Atlantis puts him in a chinlock, but that's quite work because they're not the legal men anymore. Atlantis is told to stop, and Mep and Mistico take their place in the ring. Mistico off the ropes, over, under, rolling over, waved by and tossed up high for a flapjack. Mep tells the crowd what's what, and whips Mephisto again - this time, we get the swinging headscissors. Mep rolls out and ducks down to hide from a dive, so Mistico tries a slingshot 'rana instead. It doesn't quite work, and they collapse in a heap with the referee making sure to check them both. Tag partners Sagrado and Maximo are in now, and Maximo gets a waistlock roll into a back bend cover for two. Sagrado stops short on a corner whip, and sidesteps Maximo's charge, but that allows Maximo to do the double jump butt bump one two NO! Uh oh. Half nelson suplex by Sagrado! Maximo flipped and landed on his front, which is good. Sagrado celebrates, then pins. One two three. (7:44) It worked there, but I think generally, you want to do it the other way. The doctor checks on Maximo, who might have hit the top of his head on the mat after all; the replay shows it's close. Wouldn't that be the worst way to lose a title? "Championship vacated due to Sagrado injuring his own partner by accident (, the dummy)!" The match stops, as there's real concern for his neck and the doctor is not allowing Maximo to move until they get him on a backboard. Atlantis kills time by arguing with people near the ramp. We get one more look at the replay. Maximo is either out or selling it like he's out. The match is stopped for about a minute and a half, and they do blow the whistle to indicate a restart, but I'm just letting the clock go.
Ultimo and Mephisto resume the match, with Dragon not going down to Mephisto's clothesline sand managing a 'rana for two. Crowd is noticeably quieter - the rowdy fans try to lead them back but it's not happening to start. Dragon Quebrada for two. Mep tires a suplex, Dragon escapes from behind and gets a Japanese leg cradle (I guess) for two. Dragon gets the kick, but doesn't quite get the DDT, being shoved off. He gets a waistlock instead, Mep reverse to a full nelson, Dragon slides to his feet to get free and pull Mep into a bodyscissors cradle, Mep reverses it one two three. (10:30) Crowd is a bit surprise and still sobered. We're down to Mephisto & Atlantis vs the Disciples of Fray Tormenta (Mistico & Sagrado).
Atlantis and Sagrado try to get the crowd a little bit louder before they start going. Forearm, whip by Atlantis, Sagrado rolls over the drop down, Atlantis pops up and clotheslines him. Atlantis is happy, the crowd is not. Sagrado comes back with a spinning armdrags and a bodyscissors cradle one two NO. Sagrado on Atlantis' shoulders into a sunset flip one two no. Sagrado chest slap, corner whip, charge in, backdropped to the apron, headbutt (!) to keep Atlantis away, double jump moonsault hits Atlantis' knees. It wasn't particularly well aimed, and the overhead camera isn't the best shot for that sort of counter (it's not immediately evident that he got his knees up or what happened there until they start selling.) Atlantis is thrilled with himself. Sagrado charges him again, and Atlantis powerbombs him one two three. (12:03) Atlantis celebrates, but they've got two more eliminations to go.
Atlantis is ready to take on Mistico, but Mephisto wants him, so Atlantis lets him do it. Crowd behind Mistico. Off the ropes, over Mep, waved by, handspring to nowhere gets a dropkick. Mep's a step slow to cover, perhaps shocked it worked as well as it did. One two NO. Whip, clothesline misses, Mistico back with a spinning armdrags. Mep rolls out again, but stands close to the ring - close enough for Mistico to get with a 619. Mistico quickly up - Asai Moonsault into Mephisto's boots! He's dead for sure. Atlantis comes in to watch, but leaves as Mep brings Mistico back in. Devil Wings! One two NO! That was a horrible slow count. Mephisto just got screwed. Crowd behind Mistico, and this one's not looking good for Mep. Mistico off the ropes, and there's La Mistica. Just that quick. (14:10) We're down to Atlantis vs Mistico, which everyone figured would be the final pair. Winner faces Santo next week.
Mistico charters Atlantis, and Atlantis is ready, backdropping him over. Clothesline. Mistico trips up Atlantis, and goes for the 619, but Atlantis ducks under. Atlantis stands back up, and drills Mistico with a forearm to the face. Ke Monito is in the ring right now, just inside a corner. Slam by Atlantis, elbow drop, elbow drop, point at Monito. Atlantis wants Monito to come in, and flips him in the ring in the process. Monito rammed into Mistico! Monito's ticked, and he's leaving. Atlantis isn't happy with him either. Atlantis turns back to Mistico, and goes after his mask. He doesn't Gedo much to it, and works over Mistico with some open hand slaps before Mistico comes back with a superkick. Mistico off the ropes, handspring flip for no reason, duck a clothesline, back with a spinning headscissors. Mexican armdrags, check, and out goes Atlantis. Time for a dive - slingshot tornillo! Both men are down on the outside, but someone's gotta win this. Mistico and Atlantis in at about the same time, and crowd behind Mistico. Mistico gets La Mistica (partly as we're looking at the crowd) but Atlantis does not give up right away. He does let go - Ultimo Guerrero - has run out to the ramp and drawn Mistico's attention. He's not doing anything but standing there and taunting. Mistico goes the ropes to confront Ultimo. Atlantis, back on his feet, shoves Mistico in the back, hops in the middle of the ring, and then collapses, faking a low blow. Three refs out there and they all missed it? That's talent. Baby Richard immediately calls for the bell. (DQ 17:35) Ultimo and Atlantis go crazy. Gotta think that worked out even better than they planned. Atlantis stops selling the low blow in the midst of the celebration, and Baby Richard starts to call him on it, so then it hurts once again. It was just the adrenaline of winning, you see. Mistico can't believe that happened and tries to get Baby Richard to listen to the fans - so the rudos beat him out. Santo! He clears the ring in no time, and Atlantis runs for his life. The refs try to keep this at a standoff, but Mistico and Santo want a piece of the rudos - they're forced to quickly retreat up the stage, and taunt the silver masks duo from an overhang. Replay of last week's finish - it's Santo vs Atlantis next week.
Stellar Moments

Match 3: el Hijo del Perro Aguayo (c), Damian 666,
Halloween vs Universo 2000 (c), Ultimo Guerrero, Pierroth
Arena Mexico, 11/04/06
Winner: Universo (2-0)
Match Time: 6:59
Approx Rating: Usual brawl.
Other Match Notes: the Perros have their own theme song here. The Capos
music starts playing, stops, and then restarts. Universo's outfit is way
glittery, but he takes it off just before he's punked out. He's brought in the
ring the hard way, thrown out, and dropped with a Damian tope before Ultimo even
makes it past the curtain. Ultimo's in no particular hurry at first. He gets attacked
from behind entering the ring. Pierroth is also in no hurry and gets worked over
as soon as he gets to the ring. Triple Legdrop for him just as the whistle
blows.
Damian has his cane and hands it off to Perro to use on Pierroth - and they call the DQ! (DQ :49) About time. That doesn't really stop them from using it more. Ultimo gets hit and stretched, and Universo gets knocked as well. Perro takes Pierroth, who's bleeding, to the announce table, and bites Pierroth's head. EWWW. Replays. Break.
Perros still in control as the second fall starts. Wouldn't be a big surprise to see them get DQed again. Perro works over Ultimo on the outside, but Ultimo rallies back when left one on one. Perro is able to knock him down before help arrives. Universo makes his own comeback on Damián while Perro is out chasing Pierroth into the crowd; Halloween helps out with a dropkick. There looks to be a clip in here, but we're still in the realm of Perros in control whenever they're paying enough attention to use the numbers, and Universo team staging brief rallies. Corner charge by Halloween on Universo misses, and that cues the comeback. It's Pierroth who works over Perro, oddly. Perro ends up taking a suplex on the ramp before he and Pierroth switch partners, and then there's a crowd shot that seems like a clip and isn't. Universo and Pierroth work over Perro on the stage, getting in some belt shots, and then it gets brought back to the ring so all the Perros can take belt shots. They end up with Perro and Universo one on one again. Universo ends up throwing himself out of the ring trying to get to Perro, and Ultimo starts fighting FdT before Perro can work in his dive. Ultimo ends up diving onto Halloween with a plancha, leaving Damián to take even more belt shots from Pierroth. Not that back suplex! Pierroth is covering, but they're so far in the rope it's not funny. Meanwhile, Perro drops Universo and heads up, but Universo low blows him from behind and covers him - the ref will count that one, one two three. (6:10)
Challenges after the match, the usual. Perro challenges for a hair match with Universo right now, one fall to a finish. They brawl instead of resolving anything.
Match 4: Canek (c), Tarzan Boy, Rey Bucanero vs El Hijo del Santo, Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr. (c)
Arena Mexico, 11/04/06
Winner: Rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:34
Approx Rating: Okay.
Other Match Notes: My initial listings are quite messed up here. No
entrances. We don't see how the prematch beatdown starts, but it's going before
Rey makes it to the ring. Focus is on Canek/Wagner and mask ripping. Rey gets
the Pirate Bomb on Santo to take him out, and they sell the possible neck damage
big. (1:01) Tarzan takes a little while to bring Dos in, but that's down
after a simple suplex. (1:33) Canek gets in a few more shots, and then
production gets in replays. There's a phone number displayed to contract the
CMLL Department of Programming, but I don't grasp what it's for - aspiring
wrestlers? Break.
Beatdown goes thru fall two. Tarzan beats up Wagner in the ring a bunch, while Rey throws Santo into the seats. Canek does whatever he can with the least movement possible. Wagner tries to make a rally in the ring, but he's stopped. Uh oh, too much talking before a whip. Back elbow does connect, so never mind. Announcers are plugging Sky as the rudos do another whip. Rey and Tarzan whiff on the double clothesline which Canek clearly sees. So, he puts his head down. Why? Knee kick to the head as the others get yanked out of the ring for the comeback. Everyone gets posted as Wagner gets mask ripping revenge. When it settles down, it's still Canek and Wagner in the ring, trying to settle things with strikes. Lots of chops. Canek actually wins the battle, with the worst kick catch enziguri you've ever seen. Rey and Santo in next, or at lest for a second before Tarzan tries to help and things go wrong for both. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you might consider a double clothesline on someone, don't. Santo connects on a tope to Rey, and we go back to Wagner and Canek again. Wagner's all sorts of fired up, so he runs right into a backdrop. Not the best strategy. Dos in to dropkick Canek, Tarzan in to clothesline Dos, Wagner back up and a leg screwing Tarzan, eventually. Dos gets Tarzan with an arm scissors into an cross arm breaker (3:55). Meanwhile, there's this Wagner/Canek bit where Canek tries a suplex but Wagner blocks it, and Wagner reverses it into - I don't know what. A bad DDT? A bad suplex? A bad rollup? A bad something. Not bad enough not to work for a pin. (3:59) Replays
Action at a standstill as the third fall starts, but I guess we're getting Canek vs Dr. Wagner. First, Dr. Wagner has to pose - and Canek wisely kicks him while he's kneeling. They strike to see who will go down first. No one. Wagner with a whip, misses a clotheslines, and Canek surprises us all with a wheel kick. Whip, reversed, Wagner puts his head down too soon, and Canek throws him down hard by the back of the head. Canek teases doing the Wagner post, but just sorta knees. While, Canek takes a backdrop! He gets up slightly Wagner dropkicks him down. He gets up slightly, Wagner dropkicks him down again, and then poses. Boos? Some, odd. Rey breaks up the post this time with a dropkick, and then runs off when Dos Caras wants a piece of him. They have a standoff on the ramp before Rey urges him to take it back in. Rey wants a handshake. No. So he tries an open hand slap, and Dos isn't hurt. Again. Dos slaps Rey, ducks a clotheslines, kicks Rey, and grabs in a headlock. Shot off, back with a headlock, over, under, Dos armdrag, Does goes for another armdrag but Rey bails out, and then dropkicks him while he's down. Tarzan comes to help, but that goes bad. Corner enziguri for Rey, and Tarzan takes a big monkey flip. Dos even tries a 619 on Tarzan, but Tarzan's moved out of the way. Santo in, and Rey stays in to face him. Crowd loud for Santo. Rey misses a clothesline, under the leapfrog, into the front roll. Rey goes to the floor, Santo goes up top - plancha! Wagner and Canek in again. Crowd behind Wagner. Wagner attacks first. Corner whip, charge in, and Canek gets in the corner turning heel kick. Wagner may be out - one two foot on the rope. Tarzan kicks it off, but the ref saw it already. Slam. Canek going up? This can't be a good idea. Flying plancha connects, but Wagner rolls on top one two NO. Wagner slams Canek, and now he's going up. The crow doesn't like the idea, and they're right, because Canek tosses Wagner of the turnbuckle and too the floor. Canek clotheslines both of them out, but Wagner's up first, and surprises Canek with his apron tope con giro. Tarzan and Dos in, though Dos stops to rally the crowd. Tarzan misses a dropkick in the corner but lands on his feet. Kick by Dos. Corner whip, reversed, Dos with a corner sunset flip one two NO. Tarzan with a open hand slap, Dos backdrops him to the apron, Tarzan fights up from there and heads up. Top rope crossbody is caught, Dos sets him down, and then crushes him with the German suplex one two three. (5:56) Meanwhile, Santo lands a top rope tope on Rey, followed by the camel clutch. That's that. (6:02) Tecnicos celebrate. Wagner and Canek still want a piece of each other, but it's not happening this week. Break.
Next week: Santo, Perro Aguayo, Mr. Niebla, Atlantis, Damian 666, Ultimo Guerrero, Halloween, Hombre Sin Nombre, Maximo, Pierroth, Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr. and much more.
