rudas
Winner: rudas (2-1)
Match Time: 8:13
Rating: OK.
Notes: Crack production staff forgets to put up the names of the rudas on the match graphic. It's just blank! Refs are Rodolfo Ruiz and Pompin, who seems all over these shows lately.
1: Announcers are billing this as an international trios, which would even better if La Comandante is was still from Buenos Aires. Showing wise judgment, Dark Angel and Princesa Sujei taking the long opening segment. Zeuxis and Comandante rush in every time Sujei's stuck in a dangerous hold. Sujei dumps Dark Angel in front of her own corner, and single handily takes out the other técnicas as they try to help. Either Sujei kicked Lluvia right in the face with the side of her foot, or she did a great job making the sound at the right time. Zeuxis and Comandante walk over to help, though clearly Princesa Sujei needs no help. Double boot, triple boot. Corner charges for Dalis, up to Comandante squashing her. Rudas drop Dark angel with a double hiptoss, and Comandante finishes her with a running splash.
2: Rudas still in control. Giant swing for Lluvia. Flying axhandle to Dalis' midsection. Dark Angel ducks a double clothesline, ducks another one, and dropkicks Zeuxis out to start the comeback. Sujei accidentally kicks her partner, just as Dalis gets Zeuxis with a silla. Dark Angel tricks Sujei into kicking her other partner too. Lluvia gets Dalis with a back looking quebrada, and then cradle for the pin. Dark Angel is a lot better wrapping up Comandante.
3: Showcase for the técnicas. Lluvia looks over rehearsed. Dalis can't help but scream any time she does anything, including run the ropes. She sends Sujei out with a dropkick, and Dark Angel tries to follow up with an apron dive, but Sujei kicks her on the way down. That has to be a planned Sujei spot, because it's happening all the time. Dalis dropkick Comandante out, who takes the easiest bump possible, then easily catches Lluvia on her apron dive. Comandante rams her into post back first, but cameras miss it. They do catch Zeuxis putting her hold on Dalis, which is a bit more important. Other técnicas are quickly counted out. Fine win for the rudas.
Match 2: La Máscara, Rotoporky, Strong Man © vs Felino, Negro Casas ©, Rey Bucanero
Arena Mexico, 12/12/2010
rudos
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 11:47
Rating: fun for what it was
Notes: Entrances! Important when we have Felino dancing on a broom all the way to the ring. Negro Casas has a gigantic black scarf. This match is dangerously close to turning into a dance contest. This goes a lot longer when the técnicos each have their own posing entrance.
1: Bucanero immediately tries to run away. This does not last. Negro and Porky try mat wrestling, which leads to Negro being splashed a lot of times. Rudos all decide they don't want to face Porky, so they talk Perico into doing it. Porky grabs Perico and gives him a nice hug, then turn him around and kicks him down. Mascara/Felino lasts about 15 seconds before Negro gets in a kick form the outside to start the beatdown. Strong Man charges the Casas brothers, who have to work together to contain the big man. Bucanero kills time choking Porky over the ropes while his partners are fighting for their lives. Rey eventually helps out with a needed cheap shot. Strong Man's legs are spread for a low blow dropkick. Bucanero slams Porky, falls to his knees in back pain, then crawls on top for a pin. Negro holds Mascara down for a Felino kick, and that’s it.
2: Strong Man comedy appears to be going on as they're showing the card girl. Felino tries to run for the hills, but Porky and Mascara bring him back. Hard Strong Man chop takes care of him. Rey Bucanero gets tossed in and tries to crawl out, but La Mascara cuts him off. Strong Man rip off his shirt for a more direct chop. Bucanero tries to turn, but he's not allowed. One more chop. Negro Casas kicks Strong Man, then pushes Perico over towards the técnico. Perico not a fan of his idea. Wing slaps to the head have no affect. Strong Man picks Perico on his shoulder, pats him on his backside, sits him down, and slides him back to his corner. Negro plancha is caught, Strong Man leisurely holds him for a bit, and Negro fights free. Strong Man whipped into a corner, La Mascara whipped in after him, Strong Man sits his partner on the top rope and elbows two guys as Mascara takes care of Bucanero with a headscissors. Tope out, sending them both into the front row. Super Porky and Strong Man grab a Casas each – suplexes! Pins!
3: Rejoined in the midst of Porky's run. Armdrag/headscissors on Felino and Bucanero, with Porky helping out more than in recent years. Even Mascara's usual stuff turns into a kicking people in the butt comedy, and Bucanero unable to stop the onslaught of spinning backbreakers. Bucanero tries to slap mascara, Mascara moves, Strong Man takes it, and Bucanero runs for his life. Bucanero begs off, and Negro tries to attack from behind. This doesn't work. Second rope plancha does not work. Big fallaway slam, Negro landing almost under the ropes. Felino and Bucanero can't clothesline Strong Man down. Felino tries a kiss for luck, but that's no good. Clothesline for both, double hiptoss for both, thought he timing is a bit uncertain here. Strong Man going up top! Strong man plancha-ing everyone! Strong Man nearly breaking on the landing. Mascara assembles the rudos, and Porky’s splashes them all for the pin. Mild boos.
