Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Mistico (C)
Arena Coliseo, 09/10/06
Winner: Tecnicos
Match Time: 7:34
Approx Rating: Okay -> good. Unique with the extra happy ending.
Other Match Notes: As Terrible shirts go, he's got a good one this week.
Perro is way way behind the other two - we're waiting for him for a moment.
Adolfo interviews Perro before the match. Adolfo doesn't seem like a tall man,
and he makes Perro look quite short. Perro of course attacks Mistico as he
enters, and the rudo beatdown is on.
1: Perro beats Mistico all the around ringside, taking particular effort to knock him into the front row. Perro comes in side to pose, Mistico follows him, and he still gets beat. Going for the mask? Going for the mask. Perro spend time untying it, and then just rips 1/4 off. Dos is whipped into Mistico while Mistico hangs in the corner, and then Mistico is sent out so they can battle Dos come. Perro loses his mind, take 1. They plug announcing dealio here. Dos gets the catapult hold double stomp, and that's it for him. Panther in - it's Cats vs Dogs! - but they bring in Mistico too so they can rip up shi mask more. Terrible gives Panther a hammerlock around the top rope, which is painful but probably not going to get a win. Hey, you guys want to try to win the fall? No, they want to put a Perros shirt on Mistico's instead - and a triple dropkick (though Terrible didn't drop much on it.) Everyone cover, and that's that.
2: Rudos still in control as the fall starts. We look at Terrible, Panther, and Aguila in the ring, who are all standing around watching something. Perhaps we should watch that? Perro's in the crowd, teasing fighting the crowd, and yelling at the cameraman for taking video of him. Perro gets back on the apron, and Panther gets him by the hair for a second, so Perro has to get his revenge. Dos and Mistico help Panther by - guarding Monito. Way to hide behind a midget! Ah, the second they move, the rudos go after Monito, and a fight breaks out. Mistico and Perro fight in the aisle. Perro realizes Mistico still has the Perros del Mal shirt around his waist and tries to grab it, but Mistico holds on, and the chase is on! Mistico keeps the shirt and sucks the clothesline. Meanwhile, Aguila is teasing doing something to Monito, but Mistico comes in long enough to break it up. Mistico gets kicked out of the ring, bust still holds onto the shirt. Now Perro is riding Monito like a horse! This is very strange. Mistico back in to break that up with a dropkick. Terrible and Aguila double whip Panther, Panther ducks under, and then jogs to the ropes as Mistico is a beat late for the springboard dropkick to turn it around. Perro misses a senton, and there's the superkick. Mistico still has the shirt in his hand - he does a slingshot tornillo with the shirt in his hand! Maybe it would've looked better if he had two hands to use there. Back in the ring, tecnicos quickly take care of the rudos. Panther gets nudo lagunero on Terrible (2:54), and Dos press Aguila - out of the ring? Isn't that illegal? I guess he's getting counted out on a press slam, though Dos has no idea and is still attacking him outside. That's it. (3:21) I think Dos lost track of things. Oh well.
3: Dos appears to have just scared Aguila away from the ring as we start the third fall. Perro has also gotten his shirt back, somewhere along the lines. Panther and Terrible to start. Panther has nice chops, and a nice roll, and then gets run over by a shoulderblock. Terrible has quite the fitting chops. Really, did no one teach him how to do them? That's a shame. Panther sues the WOW cross body, Terrible uses the blasted superkick, Panther still manages to send him out by ducking down on a charge, but Aguila costs him off with kicks before he can dive. Forearms. Aguila gets him set, and chops much better. Corner whip, Panther moves again, and Aguila dropkick the corner. Panther back with a headscissors to send Aguila off, and this time Aguila ducks down on the dive. What's Panther going t o do? He'd like to face Perro, but Perro wants Mistico. And so Mistico he gets. Perro is angered by the Mistico chant. Dueling poses. Perro sets up for a big shot, and then it doesn't look so good. Mistico doesn't go down off it, at least. Everyone's being super dramatic for this show down. Mistico cut Perro on a chest slap - or at least opened a wound. Perro points to it, shows it to the ref, and licks the blood! Ew! Perro's turn - no , he's just going to beat mail Mistico. Lots of punches, stomps, and Perro looses control for a second. Perro grabs Mistico by the mask to pick him up - and the mask comes off! Ooops! Everyone saw that, and the refs don't know quite what to do - was that not supposed to happen? was that supposed to not happen? Refs debate, Rudos try to sway them, but that's a DQ. (4:10) That was quite out of nowhere. Does Dos get paid full price for this one? He didn't do anything!
Perro gets the microphone - for the people, he wants one more fall between the two. Mistico's okay with it. Perro picks which referee stays, since only one is needed for a singles match. Is there a slight clip here? Not totally sure.
4: Both men run, Perro powerbombs Mistico and puts his feet on the middle rope, one two NO. Mistico bodyscissors, trying to go for a submission, but Perro sneaks away. Mistico off the ropes, 'rana, one two - now the refs distracted by Mr. Aguila and Damián 666. Dude, finish the count next time. Way to help out, Dos. Dos does wap Damian on the top of the head. While the ref plays traffic cop, Perro tries a low block kick, but Mistico blocks. Perro tries a corner whip (they're obviously improvising something here and not quite totally sure what), and Perro sort misses a charge. Perro tries the low blow kick again, Mistico blocks, Mistico shoulderblock. Mistico off the ropes, Perro tries a leapfrog, Mistico blatantly low blow kicks him, but the ref was turned the wrong way. One two three! (1:02) Crowd goes quite nuts on that one.
Magadan talks to Perro. They and all the Perros can't believe the injustice that just happened. Perro makes sure we know the Perros are the #1 in all of lucha libre. Perro's about to have a breakdown here. NO FILMING!

Match 2: Atlantis, Kenzo Suzuki, Ultimo Guerrero (c) vs
Dr. Wagner Jr. (c), Rey Bucanero, Ultimo Dragon
Arena Mexico, 09/08/06
Winner: Rudos
Match Time: 11:52
Approx Rating: Fun.
Other Match Notes: First time they've done one from each place since
March. Wagner is wearing an outfit like his fathers, in remembrance. Atlantis
& Ultimo are wearing matching Guerreros outfits, with similar masks. Match
is joined after introductions, and with the rudos already on the attack.
1: General beatdown. Wagner hangs out with a kid in the aisle while Rey takes the GdI sit. Ultimo gets beat up while we're looking at Wagner and the kid posing. Wagner fights a double hiptoss into the ring, but eventually takes it. Crowd's loud for Wagner when he's in and in trouble, but he still takes the corner attacks, ending with a long Ultimo headstand sit. Double crab finishes him and the fall.
2: As return, they're setting up Rey for an outside Sit, but the other two tecnicos break it up, and the comeback is on. Kenzo takes the sit instead, while Ultimo Dragon works over Ultimo Guerrero with a kick. Dragon switches to take Kenzo, and Rey goes wild on the other two with dropkicks. Wagner gives Atlantis a spinning back breaker and goes for his mask. Ultimo breaks that up, Atlantis & Rey end up dropkicked into the ropes by Rey, and Wagner boots him up for a double sit on them. Rey goes out to take on Kenzo, who takes a couple punches and flops on the ground. The whistle is blowing now? I thought it already did!
2, still: Anyway, Wagner dives off the ramp for his tope con giro onto Atlantis. Kenzo's been sent back in, and Dragon lights him up with the five kick combo. Dragon Cutter, one two three. So that was either a :29 fall or a 1:39 fall. Replays are not longer the fan the fall, though it's gotta be close. The between fall break is roughly 10 seconds, so either this was some neat hidden editing or it's been a tough match for the whistle blower.
3: Dragon and Atlantis start, with Dragon flipping and ducking his way out of trouble. Boosted up dropkicked sends Atlantis out, three kick combo sends Ultimo out, and Kenzo - he won't face Kenzo. Tag to Rey, who gets the fun of fighting Kenzo. Has Rey shaved more of the side of his head, or am imaging that? We get a really tight shot of a clothesline. Wacky strut kneedrop. Turnbuckle smash for Rey, and a series of chops, finished by a slap to the face. KENZO MOCKS THE TAUNT. That's wrong. Kenzo charges the corner, and Rey knocks him in as he gets out. Rey charges Kenzo, Kenzo sorta pushes him to the top rope, Rey kicks him away and drops him with a jumping spin DDT. Tag to Wagner, and as they're about to set up the sit on Kenzo, Ultimo comes in, and Wagner and Guerrero want to go one on one. Pose off - crowd firmly behind Wagner. Atlantis and Ultimo try posing together, and it does not work. Tecnicos pose together, and that gets a more favorable reaction. Okay, now Guerrero and Wagner are face to face, and Guerrero drops Wagner with a big chest slap. Wagner slowly to his feet, blocking the neck one and kicking UG down. Corner whip, reversed, Wagner slides out, UG slides out after him, Wagner slides in first and struts. Did Kenzo trip over the bottom rope coming in? Whatever happened it sidetracked Wagner, and UG slips in a drop toe hold into the bottom rope. Wagner returns the favor, and gets in at Tornado DDT. Ultimo out, but Atlantis taking his place with chest slaps. Who's this kid they keep showing in the crowd? In the meantime, Wagner's taken over, and landed a pumphandle slam. Pose. Atlantis out, Kenzo in, and Dragon into fight him. Kenzo notes that Dragon is much short than him. Dragon stomps his foot! Headlock - Kenzo tries to back suplex him free, but Ultimo hangs out. and gets back to his feet. Ultimo shout off, back with a shoulderblock, Kenzo doesn't go, and just is more fired up. Dragon over to - look at the crowd? I don't know. Neither does he. Ah, he's trying to get the crowd to chant to help him. Of the ropes, shoulderblock, and down he goes. Kenzo's fired up - and moving hair out of his face, yet. Wagner slips in, gets in slap, and gets out of the way before Kenzo can touch him, mocking Kenzo's fired up pose. Ultimo Dragon assures Wagner he can handle this. As long as these fans cheer for him, I guess. Off the ropes, and Kenzo brutally gives him a big boot. Kenzo jumps around like he just won a medal. Guerreros come in to do the huddle dance. Replay - Kenzo got Dragon hard in the side of the face. Back 'live', Kenzo tries for the big boot again, Dragon slips under, kick, suplex - why are you trying a suplex, Dragon? That was dumb. Kenzo blocks it twice and kills Dragon with a suplex of his own. One two - no, he pulled him up before two. That wad dumb. Bad short clothesline., and Kenzo's heading up. No, he's just headed to the apron to point and pose, and Dragon dropkicks him out before he does more. There's the Asai Moonsault, so I guess we can end the match. All four other tecnicos in, and the rudos both try clotheslines - but the tecnicos are afar to pumped to go down. Again - and they still won't go down. One more time - tecnicos duck under, off the ropes, back - and UG and Atlantis lift them into stereo Atlántida'! That's IT! (7:43) Two rudo fans are especially fired up by that ending. Replays of the big rudo win.
That's it.
