Approx Rating: Good, could use work.
Other Match Notes: No entrances.

1: Dorada and Damian start. Circle, Damian reaches out and Dorada armdrags him straight into a cross armbreaker. Emphasizing the size difference, Damian is able to stand up and lift Mascarita with one arm (and a shoulder). Dorada tries to bodyscissors (I think) out of it, but misses his grip and lands stomach first on the mat. Damian takes advantage by tying up his legs, sitting on them, and grabbing an armbar. Twist, as Dorada gets up, and a spin to knock Dorada down. Dorada rolls backwards to get a headscissors, and then looks for leverage but can't get it. Damian trips him up, but Dorada gets a twisting headscissors from the mat. Damian rolls out, Dorada teases rolling after him. Tags. Mini Black Warrior is like twice the size of Tzuki, and  blows him up with a dropkick. Leverage spot leads Tzuki to Warrior's shoulders, and off with a 'rana. Atomo off the ropes, and Mini Warrior feeds him self into the twisting headscissors. Shoulderblock, Tzuki runs cross ring, Warrior follows, Tzuki moves and Warrior hits the corners. Tzuki charges, gets flipped to the apron, punches and kicks warrior away, and flies off the top with a tope con giro into an armdrag. Warrior retreats to the ramp, and runs up the entrance when Tzuki approaches him. Damian tries to bring his partner back, and failing that, Dorada comes in to take him on again. They're immediately better than they were all of last time, Dorada getting a spinning armdrags into a spinning headscissors. Out goes Damian, and Dorada is quick to the top and to the post - tope con giro to the floor! Tzuki back in with Warrior, and a headscissors sends Warrior out. All their stuff is looking very loose. Tzuki slides to the apron, jumps on the first rope, jumps on the second rope, jumps off with a tornillo on Warrior, Warrior catches him, Tzuki armdrags him anyway. Pierrothitho in, but Atomo gets him with an off the top rope 'rana. Atomo ducks a clothesline (not hard) and Pierroth lifts him up on the next pass, but Atomo reveres that into another 'rana, one two three. Pierrothitho is not the captain, but refs are confused.

Ephesto wishes you happy whatevers. 

Valiente wishes you blah blah

2: Clip to start the fall? We pick up with Atomo getting a couple different spinning headscissors on Damian, the second sending him out (and dizzy.) Atomo celebrates by doing a front flip, and slipping on the landing. There's been better nights for the minis, I'm sure. Atomo's pants pants are falling down too. Warrior takes him out with a sliding dropkick to the knees. Atomo's the only guy who could be hit by that. Warrior has to go one knee to hit Atomo in the throats. Atomo's lifted into a crucifix, and throws back first into the corner. Warrior celebrates back pain, and Tzuki sneaks into missile dropkick him out. (Warrior goes 3/4thrds of the ring and slides stomach first the floor. Heck of a dropkick.) Pierroth rushes in and spins Tzuki with a boot. Shot to the back. Corner whip, Pierroth charges in, diving clothesline with Pierroth's lower body going thru the ropes as he did it. That was odd. Pierroth transitions straight into a slingshot senton on Tzuki, so he must've been doing this for a bit. Dorada missile dropkicks him out, but Damian turns the table with a hammer of a clothesline. Chop. Whip, Damian spins him up to his shoulders, and slams him down chest first. Inverted body slam or whatever. Damian's all fired up after taking care of his rival. Tzuki and Atomo separately come in and try and miss dropkicks, mostly because both Damian and Pierroth were standing around waiting for him. Everyone gets in position for the stereo tecnico whips and spinebusters. Rudos hold tecnicos over their knees for a nice idea for Warrior, though he has to instruct them to move closer for this to work. Now they've got it - Double guillotine legdrop! That was pretty neat, they just need to work on potion. Dorada comes back in but is taken down as soon as he gets in. Whip, tripped into the ropes, and Warrior and Damian hit a double (ugly) 619 on him. Pierroth adds a dropkick to the face. Rudo set up Dorada in the middle all do the double point to him, all off the ropes, and all dropkick him in the head. Warrior covers for the pin. Whoever decided to edit this to exactly 3 minutes is making my life easier when it comes to time math.   

Stuka Jr.

Loco Max, besides being the only guy besides Marco Corelone where I feel I could transcribe his promo if I had to with my life on the line (and I have no idea why that is), is also notable for having as much hair on his head as he's had for quite some time. It's to "if he doesn't lose a hair match in January, I will be shocked" levels.

3: Crowd shot to hide a clip, as the beatdown is over and we're to Damian/Dorada one on one as the match picks up. Dorada misses a clothesline and Damián spins him around by his mask. Chop. Dorada's mask looks untied. Whip, reversed, and Dorada clips him with a dropkick to the knee. Chest slap. Whip, reversed, Dorado back with a bodyscissors into an armdrags which looks really good. Springboard into a headscissors, off the ropes, spinning headscissors into a spinning headscissors into a spinning armdrags. Damian goes out, Dorada looks for a way to get him. Dorado climbs to the top rope, but Tzuki beats him to it with a moonsault off the apron! Dorada, at a loss (or that's just me), claps and hangs out standing on the top rope as  Atomo tricks Warrior into dropkick Mini Pierroth out. Atomo charges Warrior, who tosses him out, right into a tope con giro on Pierroth. Warrior moves to close to Dorada, and Dorado sends him with a headscissors. Dorada quickly to the top, headscissors to the floor, except Warrior doesn't really turn with it (too close to the front row) and it looks not so fun. Dorada keeps on going, right to the top rope, and off with an armdrags for Damian back inside the ring. (Damian's mentioned as a champion here and Dorada is not, so I think we can put the Mexican Minis title in the same mental closet where La Parka Jr.'s Cruiserweight title resides.) Dorada off the ropes, up and over sunset flip is but he's shoved off, and Damián yanks the mask! Dorada covers up, Damian cradle him to covers the face, one two three. Damian celebrates his hard earned win. 

In-ring Bit: Mistico won the Fox Sports championship. Didn't we see this last week? Well, we can see them having the wrong microphone boxes again. Check out them empty seats. There are mild boos - because he's here in a  suit and not in gear (or a neck brace or otherwise selling an injury), I'm sure.

Match 2: el Hijo del Perro Aguayo (c), Héctor Garza, Texano vs Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal (c), Marco Corelone
Arena Mexico, 12/16/07

  3. Perro

Winner: Perro (2-1)
Match Time: 16:36
Approx Rating: Usual Perro goofery.
Other Match Notes: Entrances. Corelone is wearing a Santa hat. Heavy Metal passes out flyers for his store, I guess. Perros come out as a group, wearing "Evil's Dogs" shirts. Perro and Hector call out Park, Mistico and Wagner in their promo.

1: Perro screws around to start. I KNOW, what are the odds. Perro gets annoyed with a front row woman, and Hector has to hold him back. Corelone gives the fan a big hug. Garza pulls in a inside bystander to hug and Perro wanders off because he's not the center of attention here. Clip? Back on the apron, Perro feels up Hector's pecs. Clip again? Alex has Hector in a chinlock, then a cross armbreaker. Garza reverses into a modified chinlock of his own. Metal wants to come in and break it up, but he's warned by the ref. Alex gets out to armbar anyway, Hector reverses into a hammerlock, Alex reveres to a jumping snap mare. Alex adjusts his tights as Hector glowers at him. Perro screws around on the apron. Circle. Lockup? Maybe at some point. Garza gets an armdrags, and rolls Alex over on his back for two. Alex breaks free, and we have another standoff. Meanwhile, on the ramp, a valet walks out to hand a plastic bag of - something - to a fan in the third row. I have no idea. It's legally better that way. Garza taunts Metal into coming in, and he falls for it, allowing Hector and Perro to chat in their corner for a moment. Lockup, no, Alex with a drop toe hold, and an Indian Deathlock. Alex twists the knee a couple times, then ties up the knees and puts on a modified STF. Alex switches to a front facelock, Hector counters into his own, Alex reverses to a step over armbar and steps on Garza's arm. They break away. Lockup, Garza with a waistlock, Alex is thrown down, front facelock, Alex out into an armbar, twist, Garza armdragged over. Both up, both in each other's face, and Garza strongly pats Alex on the cheek. Alex pats back, which wounds Garza deeply. Meanwhile, Perro wanders into the picture for no reason. (Well, it got him in the picture.) Garza moves first, but Alex tosses him around with armdrags. Perro begs off, and then gives Alex a less peaceful arm gesture. Alex looks towards the crowd, and not Texano coming in with a dropkick. Corelone tries to come into help as well, but Texano gets him with a right hand, and Perro and Garza awake to the fact they might have a beatdown here. Texano takes care of Corelone while Garza and Perro work the over the other two. Lots of boot choking. The back of the Hector & Perro's shirts say "Just a few are chosen" - in Texano's case, it's so he could do the work for the other two here. Garza stands around and watches as Texano and Perro set up Metal for his quebrada (which doesn't hit well, oh well) and that's it. Replays. Alex recovers in the lap of a woman in the front row, who seems okay with the idea.

Q: [Hector Garza] ?A quienes rapo en 1995?
A: Satanico, Pirata Morgan, El Brazo, Bestia Salvaje

Averno

Misterioso Jr.

A: Satanico, Pirata Morgan, El Brazo and Bestia Salvaje. All those were in Arena Mexico too. And then knee injuries and WCW and things not working out as well. 

2: Corelone is the first one we see coming in, and grabs Texano before Perro pounds on him. Perro goes crazy, but his crazy punches have so little effect (or Corelone is so strong) that Marco is able to lift him up on his shoulders while doing it. Garza kicks out Corelone's legs to flatten him tot he mat, and Perro is able to go back to pounding. Texano and Hector pull him off, but Perro climbs right back on Corelone for more punches. He's eventually held back by his own teammates. Perro calms down - and spits at Metal. Metal gets help from another front row fan to wipe himself off. Seriously, every fan in the building may get involved by the end of this. Alex and Metal are still hanging out on the outside with Corelone on the inside, but they're about to corner whip the Italian so this should soon be over. Corelone does his comeback sequence with Texano and Hector (Perro screwing around - I know!), setting up an Alex springboard plancha. Rudos catch him and toss him, but Alex lands on his feet and Corelone clotheslines them both down. Perro runs for the hills. Corelone goes up the ramp while the tecnicos hold the rudos in position - Superman dive hits a little odd, but that's three. Metal tracks Perro down on the outside and posts him before taking him around ringside. Perro slips away from whatever spot they wanted to do, and Metal is forced by the referee to go back inside.

3: Joined just in time for Alex to put up the stop sign for Texano. His fan from the previous segment is enjoying where this going, but before it can get there, Texano attacks him and mocks him. Corner whip, open hand slap. Whip, Alex grabs the ropes, Texano charges, Alex drops down and Texano goes flying. Hector comes in and mockingly claps for Alex. Begging for a handshake - which is  setup to a Perro backside attack. Corelone comes  into even the odds, and Perro and Hector aunt him when they know the refs are going to force him out. Corner whip for Koslov, Perro whipped in and takes a boot. Alex charges in and gets a headscissors armdrags on the two (if you imagine Perro was in an headscissors.) Alex ducks a double clothesline, flipping run, off the ropes, twisting headscissors for Garza, he ducks Perro's clothesline and enziguri's him. Perro claims foul, on a kick to the head. Alex gets tossed his heat, as Perro runs around the ring booing. We see Perro screwing around and about 0% of Alex's dance. Perro grabs at Texano's leg for no reason, and Texano climbs up for safety. Metal and Garza in - are the fans chanting something anti-Metal? Garza likes it, so I presume so. Metal doesn't appear happy. Perro yells at the camera man. Metal does pushups for no reason, and Garza does a bicep pose. I have no idea what's going on. Metal gets the rowdy tecnico fans behind him at least. Off the ropes avoidance bits, and Metal ends up with armdrags. Garza pulls ups short on the third, and kicks Metal while he's down. Alex tries to come into help, but is stopped by the referees. Garza messes with Metal's hair and slaps him hard in the chest. Corner whip, Garza charges in, Metal moves, Garza goes over the top and holds on by one hand, Metal teases the tights pull, but Texano breaks it up. Corner whip, reversed, Texano gets in their dropkick to the knee, casita is shoves off in the corner, Texano charges to followup, Metal moves and Texano takes a knee bump to the floor, running away before Metal can follow with a dive. Corelone and Garza, except Perro wants to a piece of him. Head to chest. Perro rethinks it and lets Garza back in, but Garza's changed his mind. They discuss Corelone being really tall. Crowd gets on Perro, so I guess he'll stay. No he won't. Oh, he's just stopping to pull of his shirt. There's ten fans really into this, as we see. Corelone dos his hip swivel. Perro cleans off Corelone's abs with his shirt, and then throws it to the crowd. Perro with a chop, no effect. Well, it did make Corelone laugh, that is an effect. Perro is not amused. Thinking. Loading up his hands with spit. Texano tells him to put everything in it. Chest slap, and Corelone takes the delayed oversell bump. Corelone goes down to his knee to make it even. No, he'll stand for this after all. Perro with a right and, whip, reverses, Corelone puts his head down soon, Perro tries a sunset flip, Corelone blocks it with his dance, lifts Corelone up by the neck, and sits him on the top rope. Perro is just a punching bad there. Garza come into help, but Corelone sends him face first into Perro's crotch. Left hand knockout punch for Garza. Texano in, and they go head to head. Corelone backs off to dance. and Texano kicks him in the back of the leg. Texano's not missing around. Hard chest slap. Corner whip, Texano kips up and out, leapfrog over the charge, Texano off the ropes, shoulderblock does not budge Corelone. Texano kick is caught, and he's spun around and knocked out with a left hand. Meanwhile, Corelone is making angry faces at the cameramen, who are more than happy to play along. Back inside the ring, Texano dropkicks Corelone out, Metal dropkicks Texano out, and follows with a slingshot tope con giro. Metal picks up Texano and holds him for a Alex plancha, but Hector pulls his partner out of the way. Which make sense, he wasn't doing anything else. Both referees simultaneously turn around to look outside, so you know what's next. On the inside, Corelone leaps over Perro for fun. Perro off the ropes, Corelone leaps again, and Perro low bow uppercuts him. One two three.

Perro does push ups on Corelone's chest to celebrate this win. Perros talk with Magadan, with Perro doing the "one more fall" tease. Hector adds to the chorus. Corelone accepts. Commissions says no, naturally. I have no idea what this was about. Perro rallies the crowd for one more fall, and the crowd wants it, and Corelone wants it, but the commission doesn't, so this was kinda dumb. Perro and Hector wander to the announcers. Perro yanks Julio Cesar by the tie, while he pleads for Christmas peace. Perro gets into another argument with the cameraman, and that's it.
