Rey de Reyes 2001:  Abismo Negro, La Parka Jr., Latin Lover, and Heavy Metal. Metal gets eliminated after missing a top rope move, which is something. Latin Lover goes down to a straight jacket camel clutch, which is at least a move. Bottles start raining in the ring when Tirantes is slow to count three on a Parka pin, stalling to throw out one bottle that came in, and to make sure Heavy Metal doesn't interfere. He ends up being bumped by Parka and Abismo gets in a low blow, but Abismo doesn't get three and Tirantes just doesn't' call for the DQ for whatever reason. Tirantes suddenly develops an arm cramp the next time he has to counted a Parka three - but gets over it quick when Abismo has the same chance (though he still slow counts - huh). Metal breaks that up. Parka gets a Reinera, and Tirantes counts that. (16:55) The fans go insane at the victory, and Metal and Lover celebrate with him.

Recap of the feuds in the first actual match. And dancing. But no entrances for that match

Match 1: Cassandro, Charly Manson, Electro Shock, Hator vs Angel, Pimpinela Escarlata, Rey Cometa, Zorro in a special match declaration
Centro de Convenciones, Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas, 03/10/06

• Electro inverted figure four Zorro
• DQ Electro for refusing to break the hold.

Winner: Tecnicos
Match Time: 5:16
Notes: Joined in progress, rudos beating down everyone. Zorro randomly comes back at about 2:30, and all the sudden it's even. Dive train at 3:20. Cometa does a top rope tornillo at the end, and with four people down there, no one catches him. They tease out Electro vs Zorro for a while before they actually start, and Electro ends up quickly getting the inverted figure four. Electro refuses to let go, and Hijo de Tirantes eventually hits him with the cane to break it up. Hijo de Tirantes goes to raise Zorro's arm, and Electro gives him a chair shot. Copetes watches this, and raises Zorro's arm.

Lots of replays after the match. It's obvious they're stretching to fill time here - why not show the whole match?

Rey de Reyes 2002: Canek, Octagon, Cibernetico, Pirata Morgan. Octagon gets Pirata with his submission, Pentagon hits Octagon with a foreign object (nunchucks?) while the ref is checking on Pirata, and Cibernetico picks up that pin. Ref bump, check. Alebrije and Pena watching, check. That's totally eerie, by the way. Canek gets a clean (!!!!!) win after a press slam, a senton, an elbow drop, and the ref doing a diving count to make sure people noticed him (6:46) Pena beats up Cibernetico post match! Alebrije was holding him, sure, but this is quite odd. A chair shot, even.

Noti AAA
- Who's the traitor? Nice dork glasses, Cibernetico. Anyway, with like 2/3rds of the roster at the ring (Sect, Guapos, Vipers minus Abismo), Cibernetico throws a chair to Histeria, who hits Intocable. Histeria tosses the chair to Electroshock, who thinks about it and then hits Pena with the chair. Shocking, since he was with the rudos in the match we just saw and all. Anyway, Pena's bleeding and getting stomped by the Vipers and the Sect. Zorro, looking quite pirate-y, makes the save with the cane and then rants a lot.
- and that's it for the news.

Rey de Reyes 2003: Latin Lover vs Jeff Jarrett. This is actually the 2004 one - they screwed up. Jeff Jarrett beats Latin out of the ring as long a possible, and I've got better things to do than watch Latin Lover matches. Are they actually going to blow the whistle at some point? Jarrett beats up Hector Garza for good measure. It's about 4 minutes before they get in the ring, and I never hear an opening whistle. Abyss wanders out and slams Latin, but that's not enough for three. An Awful Jarrett powerbomb almost gets it, but Garza pulls out the ref. Tecnicos beat up the monster, barely, but he still pulls out the ref on a near fall. Low blow, Stroke, one two three. (11:15)  Parka, on crutches, leads the AAA tecnicos down to the ring to run off Jarrett.

Replay: Third fall from the Alan Stone/Intocable match. It's still a draw!

Rey de Reyes 2005: Jeff Jarrett, Konnan, Chessman, Latin Lover, La Parka Jr., Abismo Negro. I saw this once, I don't really need to see this again. I still can't figure out how La Parka wins. I can't figure out how Jeff Jarrett and Konnan DQed by Psicosis interfering, and neither can they, really. Latin Lover pins Abismo Negro, so at least Abismo doesn't win. Cibernetico pins Latin Lover, ref superkick ref, La Parka is declared as winner - oh man did I hate this match. I still hate this match. What I've learned is La Parka Jr. wins because the ref said he did, and I'll get no better answer than that. (14:52)

Match 2: Konnan, Ron Killings, Samoa Joe vs Scorpio Jr., Shocker, Zumbido vs Chessman, Muerte Cibernetica, Cibernetico vs La Parka Jr., Octagon, Vampiro for the Rey de Reyes Trophy
Centro de Convenciones, Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas, 03/10/06

• CO Guapos (12:40)
• Konnan Tequila Sunrise Chessman (17:10)
• DQ Konnan for excessive violence (17:30)
• Vampiro inside cradle Cibernetico (25:44)

Winner: Vampiro, I think
Match Time: 25:44, I think
Notes: Chessman stands in the fireworks - like sparklers are exploding into his arm, and he doesn't even notice for ten seconds. I prefer to think that means he's a tough hombre (though I'm sure it just didn't hurt much.) The TNA team comes out to "Eye of the Tiger". Which I'm sure make sense to someone. Everything stops so Killings can dance. The tecnicos are the only team to come out separately. Vampiro is preceded by women and goth guys simulating biting for whatever reason. They explain the rules as when one guy gets pinned, his team is gone. No idea how one man can win a team combination, but I'm sure that'll make a lot of sense later. All twelve guys brawl to start.

It settles down into two people in at a time, though the wrestlers have a tough time figuring who's supposed to be in at different times. It re-breaks down at around 11:30, with Intocable running into get revenge from earlier on Shocker. Instead, Intocable ends up chairing himself. The Guapos work over them, and even though it's not clear any one of them is meant to be in, this is an obvious set up for a countout elimination, and so that's what Hijo de Tirantes does.  We see more of the the Guapos being counted out than we do the actual beatdown on Intocable. Chessman takes an Octagon tope, various rudos work over Octagon, and Zorro is out to run people off. Angel is out too, and I only notice because he's getting beat. I guess the second tier AAA tecnicos are hear to run off the Guapos, not that it does much good. Octagon is carried to the back, but that doesn't eliminate his team (somehow). We get a replay to emphasize Octagon had a knee injury - I don't know. Konnan gets the Tequila Sunrise on Chessman after Samoa Joe works on him for a while (Samoa looked to be working light here - maybe I was imagining it.) Foreign group keep's going after Chessman for whatever reason - are they going to do an overturned DQ here? It's not even clear that rest of Chessman's team is out. Now the TNA team is leaving - they have no idea what's going on, and they're being told to go back to the ring. No one has a clue, and time's come to a halt. The TNA team gets back towards the edge of the ring, and then the refs change their minds and tell them to leave. This turns out just a set up for KENTA to surprise attack Konnan and the rest of the team - I forget about him, and thought he was a crazy fan till Samoa Joe misses a clothesline on him. That's a pull apart, while the other two teams are left in the ring. Chessman is MIA - I guess the idea was to make the sides missing, even though that makes no sense, and then tecnicos should've won this match by now. This turns into all four in at the same time. Muerte and Parka spend a lot of time on the outside after a Parka dive, so we get a long Vampiro/Cibernetico sequence. Cibernetico works over Vampiro's back forever, including four body slams in a row. Muerte gets back on the apron just long enough so Parka can pull him off, and Cibernetico can chair shot Parka. Vampiro pulls Cibernetico into an inside cradle, one two three. What a waste of time. At least he won it by pinning someone. He gets a crown, and they drag that out because they've got 15 minutes left in the show. Everyone gets a chance to talk, because they've got a lot of time.

That's it.
