Match 1: Aerostar, Gato Eveready, Relampago vs Cerebro Negro, Chico Che, Dr. Cerebro
Arena Naucalpan, 11/18/2010

Winner: Aerostar, Gato Eveready, Relampago
Match Time: 6:16
Rating: very fun for the short time.
Notes: AAA graphics identify IWRG team as “Chicoche”, “Cerebro”, and “Dr. Cerebro”. Dr. Cerebro's picture is also completely useless – dark and at a bad angle. Fine work! I think they even got Dr. Cerebro and Cerebro Negro backwards. Pepe Casas is ref.

Fill arena is chanting for Chico Che, though it's only part of the crowd. Gato and Dr. Cerebro start. Lockup, Dr. flips Gato over his hip and armdrags him down, but Gato hangs out and get to his own feet for an armdrag. Doctor with a drop toe hold, barrel roll to Gato's front and an armdrag. Gato up quick, tripped faster, zero leg trips both ways, both flip up to their feet. Tags, and the announcers at least know the Cerebros apart. Negro, freshly shaved, now in with Aerostar. Shoves. Aero does a spin thru the ropes, but gets clotheslines the next pass. Corner whip, Aero springboard flips to the apron, and comes back in with a headscissors. Aero waved by, back with a headscissors. Out goes Cerebro Negro, and Aero fakes thru the ropes again. Crowd is behind the IWRG group. Chico Che in, and the crowd behind him again. Relampago has to roll into the ring. Hard Chico Che chop. Relampago's has no affect, and gets booed. Chico starts running, stops, shoves Relampago, and they exchange kicks. Whip, Relampago bounces back, and his plancha has no effect. Chico off the ropes, over, under, rolling over, waved by, and back with an armdrag. Chico claps for the crowd, misses a clothesline, Relampago flips off his hands, and kicks Chico Che. Relampago yells at the crowd, who’s eager to boo him. Whip, reversed, Chico Che just gets enough of him on a dropkick to the knee. Chest slap. Corner whip, Chico Che charges in, Relampago hoops up the ropes and comes back with a headscissors. Out goes Chico Che, and Relampago fakes thru the ropes to bounce back in the center of the ring. He seems very confused at being booed. Cycled back around to Doctor and Gato. Doctor misses a clothesline, Gato off the ropes twice, up to Doctor’s shoulder, and dropped on his back for an electric suplex. Kick deflected, and Gato gets in a stunner. Dropkick sends out Doctor, and Gato follows – slingshot tope con giro, almost up the stairs. Negro dropkicks Aero as he comes in. Hard slap. Doctor over to help (clip before?), double whip, Chico Che bodypress. Chico Che loads up Aero for Cerebro Negro, who holds him up in a casadora – Cerebros springboard dropkick, German suplex combo. Nice. Aero got slammed hard. Gato whipped to the corner, he flips Doctor away, but Chico Che knocks him into the corner with his gut, and Doctor comes back in with a swinging dropkick. Gato whipped out, and Negro tries for – something, which didn’t work, so Cerebro kills him with a Northern lights suplex. No bridge, all drop, a bit uncontrolled. Clip? Crowd is chanting for ‘otra’ with Relampago in, so probably. Corner whip, for Relampago, Gato flips him to safety, slide under Chico Che's legs as he hops, and Chico Che does a dance while Gato stands there, confused. Gato waits for Chico to turn around and dropkick him. Chico breaks free of the pick up and slaps Gato. Slap to the face. Whip, reversed, Aero flips Chico to the apron and Gato dropkicks him off. Chico lands on the floor, and stumbles over the barricade. You may want to move, Kid. Relampago up top – plancha to the third row! Aero and negro in, and Aero sends Negro to the ropes with an armdrag. Cerebro tries to flip Aero out, but he hangs out to the ropes and headscissors Negro to the ropes. Aero stands on the third rope, jumps across the corner to the other ropes, and jumps of with a tope con giro to the floor! Neat. Gato and Doctor back in, Gato flips over a backdrop, springboard armdrag into a double arm hook cradle one two three. Dr. Cerebro may have kicked out at 2.9999 there.

In a hotel, Octagon is leaving a room with his luggage when he happens to run into Cibernético. They have an argument about the motorcycle rider. I think we get Cibernético half kidding denying being it, but emphasizing the motorcycle rider was not the attacker. Cibernético woudl've have attacked Octagon, but now that it's a war. Octagon seems to be figuring something out.

Dorian meets with the Militia, who are looking more like a new age Village People by the week. Alan Stone's cowboys hat is not helping the cause. Dorian wants them to make sure Octagon doesn't find out who the traitor is, and they have that guy's back. Also, take care of Tiger and Jack in their match. After the Militia leaves, Dorian makes a phone call – a warning to the traitor?

Jack and Mesías, in two different languages, discuss what an idiot Cibernético is. Mesías tells Jack to calm down, he's talking care of it. Jack just wants Mesías to understand his real friends are in AAA, but Mesías says Cibernético is his brother. Mesías wants Jack to trust him, and Jack promises too. Mesías seems beleaguered after Jack leaves.

Match 2: Espíritu, Extreme Tiger, Jack Evans vs Billy Boy, Decnnis, Tigre Cota
Arena Naucalpan, 11/18/2010

Winner: Espíritu, Extreme Tiger, Jack Evans
Match Time: 11:55 (7:22+4:33)
Rating: good
Notes: Joined with the rudos attacking the técnicos as they enter. Copetes is ref.

General brawling beatdown. Cameras stick with Billy choking Jack on the ropes for quite a while. Extreme goes flying into the first row off a Cota whip. Cota pulls him back, walks around with Extreme on his shoulder, and drops him throat first on the barricade. Running powerbomb by Billy on Jack, nice. Rudos enjoy beating him up. Jack flips Tiger to the apron, but Decnnis drops him with a spinebuster. Billy powerbomb and a Cota flying reverse bulldog on Jack. Crowd chants for Tiger – which one? Extreme mange to put Decnnis on the top rope, but the other two dropkick him around, then load him up for a top rope triple faceslam. Espiritu, also in this match, is in third. Decnnis clonks him with the helmet, which makes a nice loud noise. Cota puts on the helmet, and the rudos put Espiritu in the corner. And holds his legs part. Cota backs up charges, and does a running helmet headbutt to the groin! Saluting high fives! Espiritu promptly ducks a double clothesline to start the comeback. Kick knocks Decnnis out, Espiritu ducks another double clothesline and runs back to tope Decnnis. Tier and Jack pull out the other two, and try Asai moonsaults. There’s really not enough room for on the side in Arena Naucalpan. Extreme's goes okay, but Jack absolutely kicks Billy Boy on the way down. Not fun! Jack celebrates while grabbing a thigh.

Clip here? Or they're just killing time while Everyone regroups. By the time they’re back in the ring, Extreme and Billy are reversing clotheslines, and Billy drops Tiger with a half nelson slam. Whip, powerslam. Billy and his giant bear are proud of themselves here. Whip, reversed, Billy lifts Tiger up, and Tiger comes down with a leg DDT. Decnnis tries to help, dropkicks his partner. Whip, Extreme grabs the ropes, Decnnis charges and gets flipped off, takes a kick, hangs near the ropes, and eats a flying dropkick to the head. Tag to Espiritu. Chop fight goes to Espiritu. Espiritu off the ropes, over, under, waved by, back with a headscissors. Billy in and clotheslining Espiritu before he can do more. Long crowd shot and the sound jumps a little bit. Billy whips Espiritu to the corner, Espiritu flips to the apron, Billy is the last to know, Billy charge the apron, Espiritu sidesteps and kicks, then comes springboard in with an armdrag. Decnnis tops Espiritu with a back elbow. Slap to the back of the head. Chop to the side. Corner whip, reversed, and Espiritu powerslams him. Espiritu sets him in the middle of the ring, quebrarda connects. Copetes slow to get in position to count, but Billy stops him anyway to break it up with a kick. Break.

Jack and Billy in now. Jack flips to the apron on a whip, kicks Billy after the charges, and kinda connects on a springboard spinning heel kick. Cota gets in a kick, and mocks Jack's Viva Mexico yell. Corner whip, Cota charges in and eats boots. Jack holds on to the ropes and rolls over Cota as he charges again, landing on Cota's back. Probably on the spot he wanted, but Jack climbs over Cota's back and pulls him over with a German suplex. Jack floats on top, for the cover, but Decnnis breaks it up this time. Whip, jack springboard flips over Decnnis on the first pass, springboard on the second eats kick to the midsection. Decnnis charges, Jack kicks him as he flips over the ropes, then springboard back in with a headscissors. Jack teas dive, and Decnnis runs for his life. Crowd gets on Decnnis, Decnnis tells them to quiet down, and that doesn't seem to work. Espiritu is down in the ring for some reason, and Tiger Cota lands a frog splash. One two Jack breaks it up. Cota kicks Jack, whip, Jack reverses into a quick spinning kick to the face. Twisting moonsault splash, one two Decnnis breaks it up. Decnnis Gori Special on Jack, then the hooks Jack's arms and legs – standing torture rack? It doesn't get far before Tiger breaks it up. Tiger gets in his own Torture Rack slam, but Billy breaks up that pin. Powerbomb? Yes, one that shakes the camera. Espiritu breaks it up, and we're just about out of break ups here. Billy and Tiger both roll out, and Cota knocks Espiritu over with a shoulderblocks. Another, and Cota is trying a third until Espiritu catches him with an armdrag. Cota charges again, and the tilt-a-whirl doesn’t quite go right. Espiritu settles for a slam. Espiritu celebrates (odd time), Cota kicks him, charges for a fifth time, and takes a hiptoss all the way to the floor. Espiritu backs up, runs, and gets Cota with a slingshot tope coon giro. Decnnis and Jack in, and Decnnis is very concerned when he misses a clothesline. Decnnis covers himself with his arms as Jack comes flying with a front flip dropkick. Jack kips up as Decnnis goes out – handspring twisting plancha tot he floor. Billy dropkick Tiger. Corner whip, Billy turns in, Tiger puts in breaks, flips Billy up, and drops him with a faceslam. Dropkick to the head. Billy dragged in position, Tiger up top, 450 splash, one two---- long hesitation three.

Extreme gets his arms raised, which left him in perfect position to be grabbed by Decnnis and Cota – two man flipping full nelson slam. Jack in, his kick misses, but he's able to kick Decnnis away and take out Cota which a backflip kick. Jack back bends under Decnnis’ clothesline and heel kicks. Backflip under a clothesline, handspring double back elbow to lay them out. Jack picks up Decnnis and drops him in front of the corner. Jack goes up to the middle rope, but Billy is getting up to – shove, and Jack goes flying. Rudos stomp Tiger and Jack. No idea where Espiritu went. Music plays, and the crowd can not identify it. Amadeus, Nygma, Scoria and Taboo running in cleared it up a bit. Escoria is wearing Dark Family gear under his shirt and tie. Ring is quickly cleared. Jack wants to give his good friend Escproa hug, but Escoria gives him a STO. How rude! Escoria rallies the troops to leave. Espiritu, back form the void where he spends most of his time, poses on the top rope beckoning to the Bizarros, but they're heading out thru a side exit. Militia limp off as Espiritu checks on Jack.

Konnan and Dorian are freaking out about the Bizarros. Konnan wants to release the traitor, but Dorian asks for one more week. Konnan agrees to just the one more week.

La Sociedad is walking to the ring thru the side entrance in Arena Naucalpan. They're actually going thru the crowd, and Dorian has to push his way past a fan. We've got Konnan, Jennifer Blake (here to hold a microphone), Dorian, and Ultimo Gladiador. Jennifer is also holding a barbed wire bat. They want to talk to Electroshock, and Gladiador confirms Electroshock is here. Electroshock eventually arrives, and tells Konnan NO. UG is on him with forearms, but UG is a cruiserweight so that's not going to last. Big edit in here to take out Electro's offense. Silver King arrives, making the save before Electro can get to anyone else in the ring. Clip again, and the others have joined the beatdown. Dramatic music underneath all of this. Electro is sat in a chair, and Konnan hits him in the midsection with the barbed wire bat. Konnan tosses it to Silver, who drops it because it’s barbed write, you know. Bat shot knocks Electro over. He's bleeding? I guess he's bleeding thru his shirt. That seems quite unlikely. Clip again, and Marco Moreno leads Mascara Año 2000 Jr., Hijo del Cien Caras, Chico Che, Dr. Cerebro and Cerebro Negro in the ring. Marco does a boring promo Joaquin would be proud of, but I guess there are now issues between IWRG and Sociedad. I have no idea why they care about Electroshock, but I have trouble understanding, why anyone cares about Electroshock.

Anyway, that was a thing.

Match 3: Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Alan Stone, Chris Stone, Último Gladiador
Arena Naucalpan, 11/18/2010

Winner: Psycho Clowns
Match Time: 9:08
Rating: usual Clowns
Notes: Joined with both sides fighting, but they do blow the whistle after they join, so maybe the Clowns just attacked ahead of time. Copetes is referee.

Clowns destroy the opposing trio. Militia/UG team get in and take everything. Crowd is loudly behind them. Alan finally stops the carnage after three minuets, tripping up psycho when going for a flying headbutt. UG topes Murder Clown into the front row and spanks him there. Rudos regroup in the ring for a beatdown. Murder takes out Alan and UG with a double clothesline to start the comeback. Chris Stone charge him, and gets press slammed on the other two. Rudos gets stomped out. Clowns pose, and Chris and UG missile dropkick two of them, then are able to drop trip up Murder Clown and get him on his back after a 619 and a slingshot elbow drop. Triple backdrop is an impressive feet, but leaves the rudos so exhausted, Monster Clown can easily run in elbow smash Alan. The other two clothesline him out, but UG's running around dive misses. Psycho in, Psycho headscissors out by Chris, Chris topes – right into a molded chair. Alan in with Monster. Alan actually gets a flying headscissors and an inverted DDT over the ropes. Monster in, Alan gets him with a plancha. Psycho in, Alan with an up an over sunset flip, but Monster breaks it up. Clowns stand around thinking for a bit, and get into a chest slap fight. Murder drops Alan stomach first on the ropes, and Psycho boosts him into a flying sit. Murders covers, and Copetes reluctantly counts three.

Clowns, still angry, stomp Alan after the match. Copetes tries to get them off, and they decide to beat him up instead. Psycho slams Copetes, and Monster flattens him with a tope rope splash. All his weight lands on Copetes' head, which is not good. Monster Clown goes to the crowd and finds a child. Murder gets the bag and they start to put him in it. Child is rather calm about the whole thing. Joaquin Roldan turns up to ask him to let go off the child. Kid is so unconcerned, that he wants an autograph. Joaquin at least his security with him this week (the obvious indy workers ever.) Joaquin offers them Perros del Mal for Guerra de Titanes, and they like the idea.

Jennifer Blake, working hard holding microphone for Konnan, does it again to tell 187 that the same that happened to Electroshock is up for them.

Match 4: Joe Lider & Nicho el Millionario vs El Ilegal & Hernandez
Arena Naucalpan, 11/18/2010

Winner: rudos
Match Time: 11:22 (6:49+4:33)
Rating: gimmicky, too much
Notes: Konnan drops down to the floor to watch the brawl. Tirantes is referee.

Brawl, with the 187 taking control to start. Nicho tosses Lider a belt and grabs the golf club, but Konnan declares weapons illegal for the match. Tirantes confiscates them. Since when are 187 concerned with the rules? Anyway, they quickly have Ilegal beat Samoan drop/blockbuster combo, but Konnan declares all pinfalls must be made on the outside. Nicho decides maybe it's time to take the microphone away form Konnan, but Hernandez cuts him off with the golf club. Guess it's legal for them. Jennifer contributes with kicks to the ribs. Konnan gets in one himself. Técnicos made a random comeback, with Hernandez taking a guillotine legdrop on the barricade. Técnicos cover, and Konnan says the pinfalls have to be made in the ring. Illegal actually gets the better of Lider and Nicho for a moment and powerbombs Nicho, but is too busy waving his hands to go for a pin. Another powerbomb attempt, but Lider just sneaks behind for a backcracker. Técnicos cover, Hijo de Tirantes counts one, thinks for a while, counts two, thinks – and Konnan makes it a handicap match with Decnnis. Arturo is laughing at the match. Rudos finally get the beatdown. Joe Lider flips over awkwardly on a double backdrop, but Nicho sidesteps a corner charge to make another comeback. Hernandez caches him on a plancha try, but Nicho punches his way thru and both he and Lider spear the big man. Konnan declares it to be handcuff match, and somehow handcuff Nicho. They clip that particular part, so it must've looked poor. Beatdown finally takes. Barbed wire bat is finally used. Break.

Relampago, Aerostar, Gato Eveready, Hijo de Cien Caras, Mascara Año 2000 Jr. and Dr. Cerebro walk down to the ring and make the save. Cerebro goes after Decnnis, so they know their storyline. Five of them take Decnnis to the back. Konnan gets slightly mugged, but he and Blake are left behind by the mob. Nicho is freed, though they don’t even really show it. Crowd loudly chants for Lucha Extrema. Despite now not having any help, the rudo get in control. 187 are knocked to the outside, and Hernandez backdrops Ilegal into a tope con giro on the other team, though he mostly overshoots them. Hernandez tries for his own dive, and only connects with El Ilegal. 187 do more tag moves, and set up for the Samoan drop/blockbuster combo on Illegal again, but Hernandez crotches Nicho and hits both of them with the barbed wire bat. Ilegal does an inverted senton con giro (facing the wrong way, same landing) and Tirantes quickly counts three.

Zorro prophecies.

Match 5: Dr. Wagner Jr. & El Mesías vs Chessman & Zorro
Arena Naucalpan, 11/18/2010

Winner: rudos
Match Time: 16:00 (9:46+6:14)
Rating: eh
Notes: Joined in progress. Tirantes is ref again.

Zorro and Wagner start, and are quickly trying to out cool each other. Crowd chants for Messi! Zorro’s wearing that jersey again. Wagner finds a way while to pose doing the double wristlock test of strength. He is amazing. That gets the crowd chanting for him. Chessman and Mesías are next, just as soon as Chessman gets down walking out Mesías. Mesías eventually is able to get Chessman with a jumping snap mare and a backdrop, but Zorro rushes into attack him from behind, then brings Wagner in to toss him out. Beatdown stars here. Zorro and Wagner brawl on the outside, with Zorro ripping up Wagner's mask. Tirantes bails Chessman out when Mesías surprise him with a hairpull. Mesías ducks a Chessman clothesline and take a Chessman boot to dropkick Zorro to start the comeback. Spear on Chessman. Takes care of both of them. Wagner comes in, catches a Zorro kick, and dragon screws him. One for chessman too. Break.

Wagner is hitting Zorro in the back with a chair when they return. Técnico showcases from here. This whole match has felt like a house show match, and this part is wrestled as such. They have a very receptive crowd, and doing the usual gets a loud reaction, so they've done the usual. Wagner does Wagner spots. Mesías does a headscissors and 'ranas which never look good but we're supposed to not notice. Mesías tope con giro on Chessman knocks the rudo into the crowd and leave the two guys in the next title match alone in the ring. Zorro misses a corner charge. That's the corner were the cane was, so Wagner reaches for it. Much as Zorro often finds, the first to use the cane doesn’t get to connect. Wagner swings, Zorro ducks under to superkick him, then hits the cane flurry for the win. Clean as it gets around here.

Zorro gets the microphone to make a speech to Wagner. While Zorro is ranting about worlds and dimensions, Chessman spears Mesías out of his shoes directly behind him. No one blinks. That was the best part of the show. Anyway, Zorro sees the era of Zorro coming really soon. Like, say, Guerra de Titanes.
