EMLL-

(Arena Coliseo) Ultimo Guerrero & Mascara Magica vs. Rencor Latino & Satanico- They air a great skit before the match from the EMLL parking lot… or hell where Satanico confronts Rencor Latino. Satanico says that he wants Rencor’s talent to join his group, the “Authentic” Infernales. Rencor wants to get at Mascara Magica. Satanico agrees and then uses his magic to grant Rencor an ugly new outfit, a mix between Rey Bucanero and Ultimo Guerrero’s masks.

First fall has lots of mask ripping from Satanico and Rencor. Guerrero gets a brief flurry of offense on Rencor but then gets double teamed and placed in Rencor’s cristo hold and has to give up. Then Satanico and Rencor put Magica in a double team hold to end the fall. Guerrero starts the segunda off by beating the crap out of Satanico with headbutts, knees and chops, and then sends him out and gets booed really hard. Magica dominates Rencor with armdrags and dropkicks and then puts him in the double armbar, while Guerrero gets Satanico to turn his back so he can apply a ‘suastica’ hold to tie things up. Satanico almost gets Magica early in the third with his nudo, but Guerrero thinks quick and breaks that with a sunset flip. Magica then goes back to Rencor, and puts him in a surfboard but Satanico stops him. Now Guerrero and Magica start ganging up on their opponents and clearing the ring, and even stop to dance, but Satanico takes advantage and attacks Guerrero, and rips his mask in half. Rey Bucanero then does a run in, without his cast and the third fall ends in DQ. Good match and a hot angle. 

(Arena Coliseo) Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000, Apollo Dantes, Fuerza Guerrera vs. Super Porky, Gigante Silva & Atlantis- Two things worth mentioning here- Super Porky dancing with a valet with a hilarious Porky jacket, and Silva basically press slamming Apollo into a foul on the ring ropes.

(Arena Mexico) Blue Panther, El Signo, Black Warrior vs. Villanos III, IV & V- This is mostly a brawl in the first fall, with the main feud being Signo vs Villano III. Signo ends up making him submit. Second fall is the revenge caida. Warrior takes a wicked post bump and has his mask ripped almost entirely off. Villano III throws a row of seats at Signo. Villano IV ends up powerslamming and pinning Warrior(whose mask comes off but remains on his neck so it’s not a DQ). Villano IV hits Blue with an ugly tope en reverse followed with a casita to win the fall. Blue Panther and VIV end up on the floor in the start of the third. Warrior whips Villano V into the ropes, but V ducks under a clothesline and dives out, hitting his brother. El Black then takes off, and does a sick looking tope… to his uncle Blue Panther! This leaves the feuding Villano III and Signo. Villano III does two DDTs to him, and Signo starts to beg off, but as soon as Villano III gets close he gets headbutted in the groin and pin! Que Rudo! 

(Arena Mexico) Universo 2000 vs. Rayo de Jalisco Jr. (One fall)- Universo is much bigger than Rayitito, so he spends much of the early match just tossing him around and taunting his father who is at ringside. Rayo is able to get some offense in, when Universo misses a corner bump and goes to the floor for a plancha. Rayito then waits for him and hits a tope en reverse followed by a standing moonsault, but when he runs to the ropes Cien Caras trips him. This allows Universo more time in control. Rayo once again gets in some offense, a double handspring tope en reverse followed by a moonsault dive! Both guys make it back, Rayo hits a huracanrana for a near fall but comes up empty on a top rope reverse tope. Universo then uses a backbreaker and senton, and then decides to really piss Rayo off, by trying a piledriver on his son!!! Rayo has no choice to enter and break it up, because he says that Rayo Jr. is a new wrestler and his career is just starting. This was a pretty good match that furthered a really cool angle. Congratulations Rayo, your son has made your big fat ass interesting once again.

AAA-

(From Aculpoco) Apache & The Diabolicos vs. Marabunta & The Barrio Boys- WOO-HOO! Apache returns. First fall is all rudos as they destroy everyone in sight. Marabunta is the ultimate victim as he gets hit with a quadruple team powerbomb. Second fall the Barrios pull everyone out of the ring and brawl in retaliation. Then we get a tecnico showcase, with Apache being pinned. Third fall, the Diabolicos do a Lagunero-esque walk out tease to anger the crowd. Marabunta bleeds as the rudos seemingly gain the advantage out of nowhere. The Barrios come back shortly, then hit topes taking everyone out except Marabunta and Angel Mortal. Marabunta ends up using a low blow to win the match. This was ok, but it never really got exciting. Apache looks so much better than everyone else in the ring it’s not funny. I wish he worked AAA more.

(Triplemania 9 from Aculpoco) Sangre Chicana vs. Cobarde vs. Pirata Morgan (Chain match)- First of all, they are using the six sided ring here instead of four sided, which is weird since it is the same arena. Like all chain matches, this is slow, boring, devoid of wrestling moves and…. BLOODY. Pirata, Chicana and Cobarde all wear the crimson mask. The first guy to touch all six sides gets to leave and it becomes a hair vs. hair chain match. Cobarde gets all six sides, leaving Chicana and Pirata. Morgan’s son does a run in and is wearing a mask?!? Then Hijo del Cobarde runs in. Morgan ends up losing and getting the free haircut.
