Match 1: Fabi Apache & Mari Apache vs Jennifer Blade & Rain
Gimnasio Jose Maria Arteaga, Queretaro, Queretaro, 04/30/2010
Winner: Rudas
Match Time: 5:41 (0:52+4:49)
Rating: they’ve done better
Notes: Gringas have brooms. And separate entrances- Blade enters first, walks all the way around the ring annoying fans and threatening to hit them with the broom, and goes back to where she started to argue with a fan. She starts another walk around the ring before Rain appears. 90 seconds and she couldn't even make it to the ring! Can you tell they have time to fill? Fabi has her belt. Hijo de Tirantes is ref, so this is useless.
Rudas jump Apaches while the Apaches are having a discussion about who knows what. 40 seconds of choking before break.
Crowd is very quiet at first, but gets into chanting for Fabi as she's double teamed. The gringa do strange looking bulldogs. Maybe that's a different pages thing. If you like lucha libre kicking, this match is for you. Rudas try double teaming – drop toe hold, elbow drop goes fine, cloverleaf/dropkick to the head not as fine. Fabi tries to rush the rudas, and Tirantes throws her down by the head. Rain breaks the broom over Sexi's back. Bodyscissors, chest breaker combo on Fabi, Tirantes counts slightly fast, one two kickout. Rain is over the top incredulous that the first pinfall she's tried all match didn't work. More choking. Replay of that move, and then suddenly they’re in mid comeback with Mari dropping rain with a bad tilt-a-whirl slam. Apache head kicks (which look much safer this week) for Rain, then Blade is thrown around by her hair. Fabi leaves the ring, gets a second broom (a backup broom!), and tosses it to Mari, who hits the rudas. Tirantes argue but does not actually stop this. The brushes flies off on a back swing, so Mari decides to break the rest by caning Rain's upper back. When Rain broke the broom over Fabi's back, she holds it with both hands and broke it herself as she connected. Mari just swung her broom very hard to break it (though it did break suspiciously clean.) Crowd is thrilled with this turn of events anyway. Fabi gets part of the stick, but Tirantes gets it away from her. Fabi slaps Tirantes, Rain pulls Fabi into a rana, Tirantes fast counts the pin without even looking it, one two there. That was a waste of time.
Rudas, not satisfied with winning the match, hold Fabi for Tirantes to hit. Mari's out on the outside, so it's up Piero (who has music?) to run in and dropkick Tirantes again. Mari returns to give Rain a sit down powerbomb. Oh, wait, they just decide to play rain's music when Piero was running out, I guess that explains it.
At some other point in time, Rain and Jennifer go to Dorian Roldan's office. They knock, no one answers, they quietly discuss Dorian's new secretary. Too quiet for AAA to even bother to caption whatever Rain says. Nikia answers, but doesn't seem to be interested in letting them to talk Dorian, and shuts the door in the face. Gringa discuss how this plot development makes no sense to them either. Nikia reopens the door, and gives them two minutes. They ask for two minutes – and break. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion.
Koslov Cam. Can you tell they have two hours to fill this week? Two random women I probably might know if I watched more Mexican TV discuss the sizes of very muscular men. Anyway, this ends with Alex getting slapped around. I dunno, but I'm sure that's ok.
Psycho Circus scream into the camera. At least this relates to a match. The Legion should prepare for the Clowns destroying them. Who should wander over but Cibernético, who talks about their many wins. He can't remember how many wins they have (that's the joke) but he knows it's a big number. This turns out to be a Cibernético pep speech, except he's not making particular sense, the Clowns think he's crazy, and Cibernético is too busy being Cibernético to realize it.
Match 2: Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Chessman, Hernandez, Kenzo Suzuki
Gimnasio Jose Maria Arteaga, Queretaro, Queretaro, 04/30/2010
Winner: Psycho Circus
Match Time: 6:09 (2:58+3:11)
Rating: not good
Notes: Kenzo Suzuki appears to be wearing two belts over each other. That'll keep your pants up. Look at all those empty seats. Wasn't attendance supposed to have rebounded for this show? Hernandez is using his LAX music, but no longer his LAX shorts. Psycho Clown throws balls out to the crowd. Piero is ref.
Brawl to start, actually even. It seems like Murder clears the ring, but Kenzo slips back in and whips him with one of his belts. Kenzo needs the other one to actually keep his pants on. Fine work by Piero here to ignore this. Kenzo chokes Murder clown, but Murder is able to toss him off. He's still dizzy, so Kenzo can STO him. Monster takes over on, headlock, shot of, back with a shoulderblock. Armdrag. Monster likes celebrating after every move. Crowd obliges, chants “Zombie! Zombie!” AAA! Kenzo grabs Monster and suplexes him. Cover, then no cover just as soon as Piero get there. Kenzo's clothesline blocked and spun around into a reverse neckbreaker. Kenzo rolls out while Monster is celebrating, and Chessman in. Evade, evade, Chessman spear. Now Chessman wants a chant. Psycho charges, kick is blocked, and Chessman slaps him around. Corner whip, Psycho charges in, Chessman monkey, flipped out, but lands on his feet and superkicks Psycho. Both stop to wave to the crowd, good enough time for a break.
Chessman sets Psycho on a corner, but Psycho blocks his move and drops him with a front superplex. Psycho poses instead of spinning, of course. Hernandez runs him over, does his dance, takes a while to suplex him, and Monster stops him with a punch. The clowns try to double suplex Hernandez, but he blocks it, then Kenzo makes the save on the second try. Soon enough, it’s a three on three suplex, with both side blocking. Rudos end up pulling it on, with the Clowns barely not landing one ach other. Clip ahead to Hernandez doing his tope over the top rope. Slow motion replay of that, then clip ahead to Kenzo kicking Murder down. Knee drop misses, Murder up too quick. Murder presses Kenzo up, then drops him in a – oh, awful time to switch to Chessman hitting the other clowns with brass knucks. Why he's doing that, I'm not too sure. Oh, wait, they're handcuffs. Chessman tried to put one on, then gave up, but the Clowns are down anyway. Murder is standing on the middle rope, facing out, so Hernandez open hand fouls him (?), then foul kicks Piero. Border Toss on Murder Clown, Chessman and Hernandez rolls him over on his stomach, Chessman top rope legdrop. Second! Piero is waving off the match, and raises Murder's arm. That sucked!
Psycho and Monster Clown try to make the save for their teammate when the Legion goes for his mask, but they get kicked away. Apparently nothing interesting is going to happen, because they show replays of Chessman moves during the match. Chair shot for Murder. Monster teases making the save as the show breaks.
Monster is still swinging a camera cord and thinking about coming in, but he and Psycho are fought off again. Fight just kind of wanders to the back, except for Chessman beating Murder Clown right in front of the announce desk. I have no idea why they're showing any of this. The doctor comes out and checks on Murder's arm.
Electroshock congratulates Ultimo Gladaidor for making the right decision. Silver King talks about being a big star in Japan and the United States, and generally being the better brother. Silver starts to vow to take out Wagner tonight, but Electroshock insists on proving he's the real chap by beating Wagner, and gives Pimpi to Silver King and Ultimo Gladiador to Octagon. I dunno about that last one.
Rumbo de TripleMania
Antonio Pena's mom, the older woman who is usually sitting with Marcela Pena, is unhappy with her grandson and his actions. She's very quiet. They give this a lot of time.
Heavy Metal has issues with Vampiro over who's the better rocker and also coming into his house and beating up people like that.
Arturo talks about Piero & Hijo de Tirantes. Why are they so zoomed in on his face?
Hijo de Tirantes is working in the gym and says this makes him more for a match where they’re not wrestling. Funny that he bicep poses and they shoot him only from the head up. Piero names his team as Chessman, Hernandez and Koslov.
Arturo talks about Morishima and Ishimori defending the tag titles vs Beer Money Inc. - TNA video package here – and the winner of Hermandad vs Silver King & Nicho el Millinoario
Moving on, Arturo talks about the gringas - “Jennifer Blade and Rain Rivera”. Congratulations! Anyway, on to a promo with them. Remember how they wanted to talk to Dorian about an hour ago? That's just skipped here, and this is sometime after, when they've gotten the “loser is a servant” stipulation for the match. This is also a classic AAA segment where the first bit is a conversation as if there's no camera, and then the participants suddenly start cutting a promo to the camera. Blade gets muted while talking about the plus sized outfit she has for the Apaches.
Recap: Wagner and the Maniacos
Match 3: Dr. Wagner Jr., Octagón, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Electroshock, Silver King, Último Gladiador
Gimnasio Jose Maria Arteaga, Queretaro, Queretaro, 04/30/2010
Winner: rudos
Match Time: 7:16 (2:23+4:53)
Rating: not good
Notes: Wagner is last out. Silver king, completely ignoring the discussion they had previously, charges Wagner and starts beating him down. Maybe I misunderstood? No, Electroshock has Octagon, they were just screwing around. Tirantes I the ref and helping the rudos out.
Rudos dominate thru the first break, and both plugs for next week (Park vs Parka, Hermandad/Konnan.) Rudos try triple teams and are semi-successful, but they're trying more than the other teams. A couple different crowd shot as they beat up Wagner. Crowd is behind Wagner, and Tirantes isn't fast enough to fast count him. Maniacos tease doing the WagnerManiacos pose and touch, but touch elbows instead. Técnicos immediately rallied, pulling out Electro & UG to leave Sling King for Wagner to beat up. Showcases go Octagon (big tope on Gladiador) and Pimpinela – except, after Pimpinela sends Electro out (slowest knee bump to the floor ever), Silver King cut him off with a dropkick. Reverse crucifix bomb, death valley driver, one two three. Fair count, pinfall odd of the usual flow. Wagner fights with Electroshock right after the pin, gets powerbomb.
There are twelve minuets left in the show. Replays. Long break. Técnicos regroup in the ring. Back and forth on the microphone. Electroshock demands a one on one cage match in exchange for Wagner getting a title shot at TripleMania. Wagner accepts. Posing.
Video package replay.
Konnan – almost made it without seeing him – talks to Dorian. Konnan says they haven't had any problems so far, everything’s great – are they having problems now that Vampiro is back? Dorian explains that it was Vampiro's idea, that he was the guy who brought in Park and Vampiro so he'll be responsible for them, but they're still good. Konnan is okay with this explanation, so off they go to party.
