This is a hour show, recut into a half hour show. A extremely brief open, and the show proper begins with the opening match entrances (which I supposed they could've cut, but they're short.
Match 1: Jeque, Ohara, Okumura (c) vs Stuka Jr. (c), Metro, Tony Rivera
Arena Coliseo, 03/25/07
Winner: Rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 11:01
Approx Rating: Not good. Stuka looked off whenever doing anything but his
spots, Jeque was just some guy. It didn't sell me on a feud.
Other Match Notes: Metro is the hero of the metropolis, imagine that.
Stuka does a pre-match promo, claiming to be better than every Japanese person
in Mexico. He's also very tan. Jeque is the leader of the Talibanes? Someone
should've let them know. Ohara has his belt. Okumura yells for no reason.
Okumura's promo is very stiff - he knows the words, but just enough where he's
still worried about getting them wrong.
1: Captains start on the mat. About 90 seconds of stuff, Stuka being in control most of the time. Metro and Jeque - Ohara makes a face. They like zooming in on faces here. Metro sends out Jeque with a spinning headscissors, shoulderblock for Ohara as he comes in, and a springboard armdrags to send him out. Okumura in and taking a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Ohara gets up, and Stuka gives him a plancha. Corner whip, and Stuka loads Okumura up in an Argentine Backbreaker. Ohara comes back in to help, but Tony missile dropkick him away, then rolls out of the way of a Jeque senton. Metro gets him with a reverse tope and Tony gets Ohara with an up and over sunset flip. Stuka might have got Okumura with that hold, but it seemed more like Stuka was just holding him there and Okumura was unaffected.
JUMP to the next fall.
2: Ohara works over Tony. Corner whip, Tony kips up and out, Tony runs back the same way, springboard plancha seems to catch Ohara by surprise, one tow no. Wheel kick connects, and Okumura stops the run with a back elbow. Chop by Okumura, whip, head down too soon, Tony flips over, blocks a kick and sweeps the leg. Okumura rolls out, Jeque runs in, straight into a hiptoss. Tony runs by Jeque while he watches, off the second rope headscissors, tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, and Jeque grabs his back and gets out. Stuka and Okumura in. Lockup, shoved off, back, slide under, waved by, and Okumura back with a twisting headscissors. Okumura is happy, les so when he charges again and is thrown out. Stuka charging, and Ohara back elbows him. Pose. Ohara has a pose? It's a folded arms thing. Dr. Wagner-ish. Forearm. Corner whip, Stuka reverses it, screams, charges, and is pushed off to the apron. Stuka blocks the punch, locks the wrist, goes up top, flips to the mat, and armdrags Ohara out. Jeque charges in and boots Stuka down. Off the ropes, right into a monkey flip to the floor. Everyone saw that one coming. Stuka goes for a dive, Jeque bails, so Stuka does a handspring back flip fake. Okumura in, and Metro for his side - Metro's circling the ring doing forward headstands, and that throws Okumura completely off. That's pretty impressive, less so when Okumura just eye rakes him two seconds later. Chop. Metro's a quarter of the way into some chop selling dance. Okumura keeps hitting him, which actually stop it. Whip, reversed, Metro gets the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, and Okumura stumbles wackily. Okumura grabs his back and tries to leave, Tony grabs him, and Jeque runs into boot him. Ohara is into, and he clears off the apron. Ohara and Jeque start the beatdown while Okumura is still checking his back. Jeque whips Tony and gives him a - I guess that would be a front elbow? He just held his elbow out for Tony to run into it. There's a reason people don't do those. Okumura throws Tony by his hair. Stuka is still trying to fight back, and gets worked over in the corner by Jeque and Okumura. Corner whip, Stuka stumbles out (before he's supposed, I'd think), Okumura gets him with a back elbow, Ohara adds a clothesline. That looked odd. Rudos go thru some double teams with Stuka and nothing looks quite right. Jeque ends up getting a valaguesa, and that's it. Tony comes in, so Tony gets booted in the corner. Jeque stomps Stuka until the refs make him stop - so they can raise his arms.

3: Rudos still in control. Tony gets a double spinebuster, and slingshot into a - uh, seated position. Ohara was running off the ropes to add something, couldn't do it with the position Tony was, and just added a kick to the back of the head. Metro in. Jeque give shim a running jumping front elbow. Mixing it up. Stuka in and fired up to attack Jeque, but he's got people helping him. Long look at Tony waiting to come back and not doing so, as the rudos stomp Stuka. That doesn't make Tony look too good. Corner whip for Stuka, Stuka rebounds out, and Jeque walks him into, uh, something by Ohara. A shove? I dunno. This isn't much good. Tony in, and he's grabbed for a double clothesline, but ducks it and Okumura gets it instead, sending him out. Tony off the ropes, stops right in front of Ohara and Jeque (expecting a double clothesline to duck and not seeing it?), Jeque and Ohara wave him by, and Tony topes Okumura. The other four all in the ring, Jeque and Metro are down - clip? - and Ohara tells Stuka to come clothesline him twice before it happens. Ohara ducks it, quick stops, turns, Stuka isn't where Ohara expects, Ohara turns and forearms him, and then does a pescado out. Stuka getting ready for a dive, but Jeque stops him with a chest slap. Stuka tumbles out of the ring, while Metro takes over on Jeque. Whip, reversed, and Metro doe a tope on Ohara. Now Jeque's going for a dive, but it's Stuka who cuts him off with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Stuka says he's going up. Jeque tries a clothesline, Stuka grabs it, and gives him a forward fireman's carry slam . What's Stuka doing now? He puts one foot on Stuka, like a pose, but then puts both feet on him - ah, standing on him standing moonsault. One two three. Announcers think that's the match, and so do I for a sec, but Jeque isn't the captain. Okumura surprises Stuka with a dropkick, but Tony and Metro chop Okumura down. Metro and Tony look at the crowd a bunch before double whipping Okumura. Double corner clothesline on him, and a double armbar. Stuka back in, and instead of helping, goes after Ohara. Ohara charges, Stuka gives him a drop toe hold and starts to hook on a tapatia. Jeque comes back in, illegally, and low blow kicks Stuka from behind. Refs were both looking at the possible submission and missed that, but not the pin Ohara makes. While the pin is being counted, Tony rushes out of the ring to get Jeque and Metro just stands there, complaining to the ref.
Tony chased Jeque into the crowd, not that it helps. Replay of the low blow from behind. Stuka gets stretchered out, so they're selling the injury big.

Match 2: Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila vs Leono, Mascara Sagrada, Mictlan
Arena Coliseo, 03/25/07
Winner: Rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 3:56
Approx Rating: Eh, pointless.
Other Match Notes: This one is joined in the third fall. Considering
it's Mascara Sagrada (who's either lost some weight or his new outfit is
helping), I can only assume Perros del Mal have been clowning around.
3: In fact, we start with Halloween getting shut down on a handshake by Sagrada, leading to Damian shoving Halloween and kissing Halloween. Upcoming stip match alert: Damian's really growing his hair out. Halloween takes a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, and we get a replay of the kiss. And we return to Damian taking a drop toe hold into Halloween's crotch, in case we weren't clear on the idea. Replay of that. Aguila's kept his hair short. It's, uh, interesting. He takes a twisting headscissors from Leono, tries to slide out, and almost gets stepped on by a ref. Leono side steps a Damian dropkick, and ends up with a spinning headscissors on him. Halloween actually gets Leono down with a shoulderblock, but eventually takes a superkick. Leono counts a three on the mat without actually covering, confusing Halloween. Referees explain to Leono how a pinfall works. Tag to Mictlan. Headscissors, for Damian, tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for Aguila. There are only three moves in this match! Back to Sagrada. I hope that means we're close to an end game. Sagrada slides Halloween to the floor, and follows with a big fat tope. Mictlan and Leono roll thru sunset flips and get in dropkicks. Aguila is backdropped to the apron. Leono elbows Aguila, but Aguila doesn't drop to the floor - not till Leono kicks him a bit later. Meanwhile, Mictlan slams Damian, and Leono heads out to get him, but he's slowed down by dealing with Aguila, and Damian plucks him off the top rope in a valaguesa. That's it for him, and Aguila moonsaults over them to get Mictlan. Way to follow up on the hair mask win!
Replays of the tope and the finish. Magadan talks to the winners. Damian says Magadan is a Perro too. Aguila appears to have a wrist cast. Perros have nothing to say. Sagrada gets mic time too.
