Match Time: 10:01
Approx Rating: 85

Other Match Notes: Yes, it's Sangre Azteca's one long match of the year. Tecnicos are wearing their Mexican National Trios Championship belts, but they're not on the line here. Mephisto, Sangre and Volador all have "standing around during the match" as their video introduction. Mephisto is announced CMLL Welterweight Champion, but does not appear to have the belt with him. Tecnicos are all wearing red. No prematch attack! Neato.

Wait, they're shoving. And now Mephisto is threatening to follow the valets. Not a bad idea. Mephisto eventually agrees to come back and face Volador. Mephisto slaps him, and gets pulled into an armdrag. Lockup, armdrag the other way, but Volador back up and taking down Mephisto. Volador with punches on the mat, Mephisto with punches on the mat, Olimpico trying to get boots in from the outside, and he's yelled at while Volador and Mephisto break. Circle. Volador with a single leg, Volador spun around on his stomach, steps up into an armdrag but kips and drops Mephisto with one of his own. Wrestler A with a leg trip zero, Wrestler B with a leg trip zero, standoff. I need a macro for that. Tags. Safari and Sangre Azteca. Circle. Lockup, going into the ropes where Olimpico yanks at Safari's mask a bit. Sangre uses the distraction to force Safari into the corner, and hits him hard with an open hand. Safari needs  moment to recover, and Sangre backs up and watches him. Lockup, they battle into the ropes with Sangre being pushed in and held with a bit of a choke. Break. Back to the center of the ring. Lockup, no Sangre behind with a waistlock, then dropping Safari to the mat. Front facelock by Sangre, Safari trips him and covers for a probable two (didn't see the right ref.) Sangre ties up Safari's legs, then pulls the legs up and up, Safari countering by doing a headstand. Sangre pushes him over, but Safari rolls to his feet, and blocks Sangre's next move with a monkey flip. No follow up - Sangre will just tag to Olimpico, while Felino tags on his side. Olimpico wastes no time rushing him with a back elbow, and gets to stomping. Long lingering crowd shot, but it doesn't seem like we've missed much a lot of the match - Olimpico and Felino are still in, Olimpico coming off the ropes, over, quick stop to chop, chop, chop Felino. Too bad the last chop was ducked; Felino back with a chop, chop, chop, whip, reversed, Olimpico puts his head down too soon and gets thrown down by it. Cover for zero by Felino, off the ropes, misses a clothesline, lands the roll over the back armdrag to send Olimpico out. Mephisto in, Felino ducks the clothesline, Volador gives him a tilt-a-whirl but sets him down on his feet so Felino can dropkick him.  Safari in, off the ropes, TOPE for Mephisto. Sangre tries a missile dropkick, but Felino catches him into a powerbomb. one two - Felino has the pin, but lets go as Volador dropkicks Olimpico in the knee. Volador adds a senton on Sangre to finish him off one two three. (4:02) Felino let go so he could beat Olimpico himself! Angled Reverse Figure Four takes it. (4:03) Replays. Break.

Rudos are dispersed and recovering on the outside as we return. Tecnicos are exchanging high tens, with Safari particularly pumped up for a guy who didn't win a fall. (Tope, schmop.) Sangre and Safari to start. Safari off the ropes, over, and right into Sangre's wheel kick. Sangre has some words for the crowd, and some open hand slaps for Sangre. Off the ropes, missing a clothesline, hitting a shoulderblock, being dropped by a springboard crossbody anyway one two no. Safari yells a lot. Safari gets waved into a big hiptoss. Safari off the ropes, Sangre sets up to backdrop him over, Sangre grabs a facelock and rebounds off the ropes into an armdrag. I thought that was going to be a wicked DDT for a second. Sangre slides out to the floor, Olimpico comes out to prevent more violence, and before long we've got everyone out there and shoving breaks out, but they all agree to take it in the ring. Mephisto and Felino are the ones who actually go in the ring, with Mephisto shoving Volador down, and Volador shoving Mep with the same effect. Big open hand slap by Mephisto. Weak open hand slap by Volador. Big open hand slap by Mephisto, weak open hand slap by Volador. Mephisto immediately slaps Volador in the face for having wimpy strikes. Volador fires up and pushes the meter all the way to mediocre on a final open hand slap. Smartly, he then decides to run. Off the ropes, over, waved by, handspring rebound into - into Mephisto dropkick, actually. Mephisto owns Volador, and the rest of the rudos have decided to go on a shopping spree. Tonight's hot item? The latest in beatdowns. After chaos becomes less chaotic, we get a triple pump powerbomb on Felino, but he's kicked out because everyone gets a turn. Unfortunately, they're so dead that Olimpico has to go out and pull Volador back in. Double corner whip, corner back elbow, corner clothesline, whipped back to Mephisto so he can set him on the top rope, and Sangre finishes it with a run up the ropes spinning headscissors. Pose/cover, one two three. (3:00) Safari in, and battles Sangre to an even open hand slap battle, but everyone is done posing and back to fighting. Double whip into Olimpico's jumping knee. Whip into Sangre and Mephisto's double powerbomb. One two three. (3:37) What do you know, it's going all three falls. 

Felino is dragged into the ring by Mephisto to get this fall started. Double whip, double boot. Rolled back up to his feet, and dropkicked out by Olimpico, who's really calling the shots here. Volador in, and he ends up taking a second rope elbow from Mephisto. Olimpico throws him down to the mat by his hair, and Sangre Azteca dropkicks him into the ropes. Safari tries his luck, and is quickly subdued. Open hand slap form Mephisto. Still good. Corner whip, Mephisto whipped into him, Safari backdrops him to the apron and slaps him to the floor! Didn't think Safari was getting the comeback, but giving a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker to Olimpico probably clinches it. Sangre is flipped out by a Felino dropkick, Volador gives him a drop toe hold, and they both rush off the ropes to give him hard kick to the chest and spine at the same time. Tecnicos regroup while the rudos pull it together on the outside. Another crowd shot, and maybe a small clip there, as we pick up with Felino working over Olimpico in the ring. Corner whip, corner clothesline. Corner whip, reversed - well, Olimpico wanted to but Felino didn't run, so Olimpico kinda spun and fell in the direction of the other corner. Felino brushed him out with a dropkick, and chased him into position - Volador tope! Fan getting up to avoid the dive gets clipped by Olimpico anyway, and Olimpico ends up falling over the first row of seats and into the laps of the second row. Meanwhile, Sangre Azteca is going up - top rope plancha on Felino! Down to Mephisto and Safari in the ring. Mephisto's dropkick is avoided, Safari jumps into a spinebuster. Mephisto says this is it, picks up Safari by the legs, and gets pulled into a twisting headscissors rollup, one two three. (2:51) Challengers are not beaten in the non-title match; almost wonder if something is to come of Safari pinning the Welterweight Champion. The doctor is checking on Olimpico, who may have hurt his right shoulder. Replays of the dives and the finish.

Match 2: Averno vs Zumbido for the vacant NWA World Middleweight Championship
Arena Mexico, 09/03/04

  1. Zumbido moonsault (4:05)
  2. Averno reversed 'rana (1:28)
  3. Averno double underhook faceslam (7:29)

Winner: Averno (2-1), new NWA World Middleweight Championship
Match Time: 13:02
Approx Rating: 91

Other Match Notes: This is fro the NWA Middleweight Title, which Ultimo Dragon had vacated on 05/09/03 (or there about) before going to WWE. It was originally a CMLL title, but Dragon appeared to buy it for himself, and sold it back when it was no longer needed. Looks like the same belt - you can still see the old NWA insignia, and it's got a Mexican flag on the main plate, with smaller side plates for (left to right) Japan, US, the UK, (the main plate here), Australia, and a fourth flag I can't I identify - maybe China?  Wish I got a better look. Zumbido's still got the mullet video. The backing belt is all red. Wrestler and corner men meet for a prematch discussion. Mephisto is obviously Averno's corner man, with Mr. Power doing the job for Zumbido. Power's gone to black hair since the Guapo U stuff.  

Zumbido says a little prayer before getting started. Averno, being of Satan and all, has no need. Crowd chants for Zumbido, and Mr. Power encourages it. Circle, circle. Zumbido want a handshake. Averno thinks, reaches out, and accepts. No shenanigans. Circle. Lockup, break with no advantage. Circle. Lockup, Zumbido with a waistlock, Averno looks down for a way out, Zumbido cinches it up to prevent him form leaving. Averno tries to break the hand hold and reverses it to a hammerlock, cranking Zumbido's left wrist. Zumbido manages to escape into a headlock, cranking Averno's head. Overhead wristlock, into an armbar, into a wristlock to knock Averno to the mat. Averno battles up as Zumbido switches to a reverse hammerlock, and Averno manages to take him down into a leg grapevine. Zumbido's not giving up quite yet, moving his free leg around to turn it into arm scissors. Averno stands up, forcing Zumbido to lay on his back to hold on, one two Zumbido shifts his weight to force Averno down and allow himself up. Averno back to his feet again, but Zumbido reveres into a headscissors to escape. Standoff. Both reach for a top wristlock, and do a one handed test of strength. Looks like Zumbido has a slight edge, then they switch to the double wristlock variety. No one's got an edge this time, so Zumbido just gives Averno a back hell trip to take him down to the mat, forcing him into a pinning position with a double wristlock. One two Averno back bridges up. Zumbido leans himself on top of Averno, and then does a handstand while holding on to the wristlock to put more pressure on! Awesome. Averno does the usual monkey flip reversal, Zumbido lands on his feet, leg trip zero, leg trip zero, standoff. They really ought not to be posing before they know if the other guy is going to make a move. Averno rushes Zumbido and pushes him down, but Zumbido kips up and armdrags Averno. Averno, armdrag, Zumbido armdrag, standoff #4. Both back up to their corners, and come back in the center of the ring. Averno off the ropes, over, under, rolling over a monkey flip try, and landing the armdrag. Enziguri-like set up for a headscissors takedown by Averno, and Zumbido misses a clothesline before they get into an open hand slap battle. Zumbido, as he often does, ducks one and lands a powerful slap to the back of Averno's head. Fireman's carry, forward slam, just positioning. To the top rope, moonsault connects one two three. (4:05) Averno should've scouted the slap better. You'd think he'd faced Niebla enough times to plan for it. Replays of the moonsault. 

Averno needs a moment to get settled before the second fall can start. Zumbido off the ropes, over, rolling under, 'rana on the third pass. Averno waved by, but comes back with an armdrag. Zumbido slides to the floor, Averno runs after him as the crowd expects something, Zumbido slides in as Averno slide out - Zumbido double jump plancha! Not looking so good for Averno, and I don't think Mephisto's towel waving can make much of a difference. Ha - the rudo has a black towel, the tecnico has a white towel. Zumbido in first - pumped, then tired. Averno beats the twenty count, waves Zumbido by on a charge, misses a clothesline, and gets caught in a 'rana but rolls thru one two THREE. (1:28) That was awful sudden. Replays, and a break.

Averno charges Zumbido right after the whistle. Shoulderblock, waved past, sliding under, and getting kicked in the lg. Probably needed a better plan. Corner whip, Zumbido charges in, Averno moves, and Zumbido takes the knee bump to the floor. Averno checks to see if he's there and starts running - no hands tope con giro! As beautiful as always. Both guys are down and getting towels waved in their direction - perfect time for a replay. Count is up to 12 before they stir, and 17 before they both get in, in opposite corners. Both take a moment to gather themselves and Averno makes the first move with a back elbow. Whip, backdrop turned into a flapjack. Off the ropes, dropkick to Zumbido's head. Averno saying that' sit, so he's going to pin him one two NO. Averno slaps the mat in anger, while Mr. Power shouts advice to Zumbido. Averno striking first with an open hand slap, whip, fireman's carry lift - F5! Averno says that's it one two NO. Averno should probably stop doing that. Both slow up once again. Averno whips Zumbido, Zumbido hops to the middle rope, springboard dropkick knocks Averno out of the ring. Zumbido checks him, walks up the ropes to the top rope - plancha! Averno is flatten, Zumbido lands on his feet - and then falls to his knees in exhaustion. Multiple replays of Zumbido's second dive of the match. Again, slow back in - Zumbido is turned towards the crowd, and doesn't realize that Averno just made the count. He's already celebrating, and in shock when Averno grabs him from behind, and pulls him into a cavernaria! Is Zumbido going to lose like this? He's waving that he won't give, and finally brakes the facelock of the hold to escape. Crowd chanting for Zumbido. Averno misses a clothesline, Zumbido charges into a backdrop but lands on the apron, Averno's right hand is blocked and Zumbido chops him back. Springboard sunset flip one...two...NO! Oh do I ever hate the dramatic slow three counts. Both guys need a sec. Zumbido up, but right into Averno's boot. Gory Special! Even the announcers know this is going to kill Zumbido. Will he give? No! He slips free of the arm locks and rolls into a sunset flip one two NO! Zumbido takes a moment to bemoan the lack of winning sunset flips these days. Mephisto was halfway in the ring on that one. Zumbido up first and off the ropes, sidestepping an Averno dropkick. 'Rana - no, Averno powerbombs him, feet on the bottom rope one two th-NO! Zumbido sits up, and falls back down, he's so tired. Averno is just trying to roll away from him, and into Mephisto's corner. Averno wildly misses another clothesline, Zumbido grabs him - fisherman's buster! That's his move! Zumbido calls it - one two NO!!! Now what? I think Zumbido has a good idea on what might be next. He's up first though, stomping Averno, slamming him, and going up. Crowd has definite bad feelings about this, and it's causing Zumbido to hesitate and consider. He elects to go all the way up - moonsault, Averno rolls out of the way, Zumbido lands on his feet anyway - dropkick to Averno's knees, La Majistral one two Averno impressively manages to scissors the ropes with his legs! Negro's gonna be ticked. What more can Zumbido do? Shoulderblock, off the ropes, springboard right into an Averno dropkick. Averno wastes no time - double underhook faceslam! One two three! (7:29) That's HIS move! Mephisto gives Averno a ride around the ring on his shoulders as they celebrate. Averno is pumped. Zumbido is out on the mat, as Mr. Power argues the last pinfall Averno escaped. 

Averno gets the belt put on him by Felipe Ham Lee - wait, no, Zumbido just ripped it off. Averno's announced as the winner, and after Zumbido checks that it really was three, he raises Averno's arm and gives him back his belt. The crowd seems to approve. Looks like the crowd threw so money in the ring, the sign they really enjoyed the match. Averno and Mephisto pose with the belt and some of the front row rudo fans. No question is was three on the replay.  

Match 3: Canek (c), Mascara Sagrada, Black Warrior vs Dr. Wagner Jr. (c), Universo 2000, Vampiro
Arena Mexico, 09/03/04

  1. rudos
  2. rudos

Winner: Rudos (2-0)
Match Time: 9:20
Approx Rating: 74

Other Match Notes: This is Mascara Sagrada's return to CMLL actual TV debut; he'd been around for a few weeks, but those were the Olympic pre-emptions. Tecnicos oddly come out first. Wagner is wearing the UWA Heavyweight Belt, which he beat Canek for. Wagner wisely won't go in the ring till he gets back up.

Rudos rush the ring, and we get started with a beatdown. The focus is of course on Wagner and Canek, but really it's everyone breaking down into individual battles. Wagner goes for the mask roughly 50 seconds in. Striking beatdown. Vampiro's pants may be new. About two minutes in, they clear the ring of the other tecnicos to work over Canek. Camera chooses to look at Sagrada on the floor when Wagner is doing the running dropkick, and Universo puts Canek in a submission while we look everywhere but there. It's on for quite a while in submission time, allowing Sagrada to come back in and break it up. Universo barely manages to pick up Sagrada and run him into the corner, both guys falling on impact. Universo gets a reverse step over armbar on Sagrada for on finish (3:23), and Wagner has an abdominal stretch on Canek for another. (3:29) Vampiro brings Warrior in to give him a choke slam too, and one referee counts Vampiro covering as the other is raising Wagner's arm. Not exactly on the same page. Champs keep the slow beatdown moseying along at the same pace despite the fall being over. Break.

Show is rejoined just as the whistle blows. Same action as before, with not a lot of action. Universo and Vampiro are working to punch down Canek, while Wagner walks around and poses. Double big boot with Universo and Wagner takes Canek out, and they pose - but Sagrada is in to break it up. Vampiro helps out, and soon he's Sagrada is down. Some teamwork spots, but the biggest move is Vampiro whipping Wagner into a clothesline on Sagrada. Second biggest move is Universo doing a couple dance steps. Warrior in and open hand slapped a lot. Triple boot lands him out. Canek again? No, Sagrada in first. Sagrada has a gut on him, which isn't hidden helped by his trademark white outfit. Sagrada is stopped on a whip by Black Warrior, and that's enough for all the tecnicos to come in and cause havoc. Warrior works the slingshot guillotine legdrop in on Vampiro, and they battle on the outside while the other four battle inside the ring. Lots of mask revenge by the tecnicos. Canek punching Wagner a lot, and Wagner selling it big. Sagrada gives Universo a backdrop, then covers him, then doesn't get a count for some reason. Clothesline, off the ropes, dropkick - everyone else has left the ring now. Sagrada rushes off the ropes, Universo drops down, and Sagrada goes out. Universo tope! Vampiro and Warrior now. Dueling hamstring kicks, but Vampiro wins with a spinning heel kick. Corner charge splash but Warrior rolls out of the ring to the apron. Vampiro tries to pick him form there, but Warrior gives him a stunner over the ropes. Vampiro goes out, Warrior goes in, Vampiro shoulders him on the apron and wheel kicks him off. Everyone knows what's next - wait, no, plancha? Guess they don't know. Down to Wagner and Canek, and I like Wagner in this one. Wagner charges, into a backdrop. Canek clothesline. Wagner's tossed by his mask, and Canek rips the top of it off! He's going for the rest until Universo arrives to break it up with a dropkick. Camel clutch, Wagner off the ropes, dropkick, Wagner covers with Universo posing on top, one two three. (5:51) That's about as dominating victory as you get around here.  Universo and Wagner beat up on Canek some more, but we head to break.

Vignette: Rey and Ultimo meet in the stairway of doom. Ultimo is preoccupied with his big match against L.A. Park. Rey assures Ultimo that he'll win, and Rey'll help him. No, that's not exactly it, Ultimo explains - he's concerned about getting enough tickets to the show so all his family can see him win! Rey tells him the number to call to get tickets and Rey reads it back to him. This is pretty overt. But funny. Ultimo has to go to a photo session, but Rey had plans on an eating session. Oh, problems.

Approx Rating: 85

Other Match Notes: Park is wearing a hot pink variation of his outfit. GdI come out to an instrumental remix of their song - and Ultimo gets stomped by Park! Rey has to go help him out , and then things turn out bad for Park. Shocker's a bit slow on the save, but I guess he didn't expect it. Shocker waits for those Ultimo and Park to spill in the ring, then cuts off Rey. Santo leaves those four to have a standoff with Perro. Santo ends up backing into the ring and Perro rush and dives at him, but Santo steps back far enough that Perro comes up just short, and lands on the mat with getting a good hold. He does manage a double leg takedown, running Shocker out of the ring in the process. 

Ultimo rips Park's eye holes as Perro beats down Santo. Monito looks on. Ultimo taking his time, doing it right. Having sufficiently beaten down Santo, Perro goes after Monito, and slams him into a front row seat! Inferino en el Ring plug. Perro's back in, and getting headbutted by Santo. Rey is boot chocking out Shocker elsewhere, while Ultimo works over Park. Perro manages to hand Santo in the ropes, and gives him a running boot. Santo is dragged to the floor so he can be thrown into the post. Rey scoop slams Shocker over the top rope. Perro talks to the announcers while beating up Santo. GdI working over Park in the ring, but don't get too far before Park sidesteps a Perro corner charge, ducks a Ultimo clothesline and sends him into Perro, and clotheslines Rey. Ultimo and Park battle it out with open hand slaps as Rey manages to keep the other two tecnicos from getting back in the ring, and a Park kick is caught by Ultimo. Rey comes back over to kick Park, and Ultimo adds a shining Wizards! Ultimo and Rey clear off the apron again - Perro's just resting on the apron - and Rey rushes back over to guillotine slingshot Park into the second rope. GdI hang Park out over the apron, causing Perro to spring back to action with a big double stomp. Shocker makes a run at Ultimo as he comes back in, but his boot is caught and Rey gives him a cheap shot. Corner whip the other way, and clothesline. Ultimo adds a dropkick, and monkey flips Rey into a - uh, that didn't work out. Rey didn't get the distance, so he instead runs Shocker into a monkey flip. Perro stomps Shocker into the ground, and then its Santo's turn. They've got something practiced for him - Ultimo lifts Santo in a inverted suplex, but doesn't drop it, instead having Perro hold up Santo's legs as he's held horizontal. They both simultaneously drop to the knees for neckbreaking action, and Rey adds the top rope rolling senton! Cover one two three. (4:41) Uh, Shocker was the captain? I could've sworn - well, the wrestlers know, but the director apparently doesn't, so we get a long pan of the crowd, and the long shot of the ring while I can hear the rudos working over someone, and there's the pinwheel action of a double spinning faceslam on someone, but they go to replays instead of showing it to us. Lovely! Break.

Beatdown goes on. Of course, there's twenty minutes left in this show and this is the last match - they've gotta drag it out! Broken down into individual fights, with Rey and Shocker the only ones in the ring. Rey's wearing a shirt this week. And as soon as I type that, Rey throws out Shocker and Ultimo brings in Ultimo/ Neck snap over the top rope. Perro comes back into help before they get started, but there's a lot of conversation going on for what turns out to a double whip into Ultimo's boot on the apron. Probably the conversation was far more about the double clothesline follow up that Park ducks and knocks Ultimo to the floor. Shocker and Park rush the rudos left in the ring in something we don't see well, and Park ends up toping Ultimo. Comeback is on, even if it's not clearly televised. Shocker sets up Rey and holds him up while Monito goes all the way up to the middle rope - second rope sit! Shocker adds his own jumping stomp. Chop, corner whip, and we don't see how that goes, switching to Park whipping Ultimo into the steps. Perro misses a corner clothesline on Shocker, Shocker runs into a Rey full nelson, Perro dropkicks, Shocker moves, Rey takes it. Perro tries yet another clothesline and gets wrapped into Shocker's tapatia (2:22) and Santo adds a top rope tope on Rey. Camel Clutch ends the fall (2:32), though Park does some crotch dancing on Ultimo's head for fun. Even after the fall is clearly over, Park tries to untie Ultimo's mask, rips the top off, and sets him up on the top rope punch him more. Ultimo's face is 75% uncovered, but the cameras find the crowd and Perro more interesting to look at. Park lets Ultimo down, only to stomp him some more. Replays.    

Perro is no hurry to return as the final falls starts and Santo is waiting for him in the ring. He slowly walks down the ramp, urged to lock up by Rey, which gets Shocker worried about a two on one assault. Rey might have provoked him a little bit. Shocker wants to get fighting with him, and Perro's willing to sit this out, so we'll wait - and then Park comes in and starts fighting with Ultimo, so instead of Santo and Perro fighting, everyone else is. Ultimo gets thrown out of the ring, and we look out there to see Santo and Perro fighting into the crowd, so scratch that. Tecnicos are getting the better of these brawls, with Santo and Perro heading a deep down an aisle to brawl. Shocker and Park have switched dance partners, and Park is trailing Ultimo towards the back as Rey gets flattened by a big boot.  Santo has Park up set up in some boots and is stomping him into them, much to the frustration of the ushers. All three fights head ringward as Shocker and Rey do the 101 headlock shove off back with a shoulderblock spot. Rey does not go down, and powers up. Off the ropes, shoulderblock, and Shocker's not going down. We have  stale mate. Rey thinks, and clotheslines. That'll work. Off the ropes, run over by Shocker's big boot and sent out. Shocker waits for Rey to get up - and Monito planchas him! Shocker slingshots himself out into an elbow drop, and both guys give Rey some stomps. Park and Ultimo in the ring, but Ultimo wants Park to clear out so he can get some cheers from the crowd. The crowd does not agree, but does cheer Park when he poses. Let's try another corner -yep, same thing. Center of the ring, no. Again, no. Park poses to all corners, and we look at the crowd instead of seeing Ultimo attack him. Ultimo chop, chop misses, Park open hand slap hits. Park gets in a slap, but Ultimo turns it around in the corner and gets in many of his own. Park returns the favor, turning it around for many open hand slaps of his own. STRUT. Ultimo's mask is just barely on. Ultimo misses a clothesline, Park lands a boot, flips backwards thru a monkey flip and lands on his feet, charge, tossed to the corner, lands on his feet, and jumps back for a loose 'rana. Off the ropes, reverse bodyscissors armdrag to take Ultimo to the floor. Park starts running, and lands a tope armdrag. Nice of Shocker to hold down the middle rope for him. Rey and Shocker back in again, with a chop battle. Shocker ducks on, lands a lot of punches and the one big slap. Rey with a shoulderblock, off the ropes, dropkick misses, and Re lands an elbow drop. Rey mocks the shocker chant while Perro comes in to punch and forearm Shocker in the back a lot. Crowd does not approve. Perro holds Shocker for Rey, Rey dropkicks, and Perro takes it this time. Perro is knocked off the ring, and Shocker holds Rey down for Santo's top rope rolling senton into a tope on Perro! CLIP to Shocker TOPE CON GIRO on Rey! Park and Ultimo back in, much to Ultimo's displeasure. Looks like Park's mask has been pretty well ripped since the last time we saw him - but he still manages to wave by Ultimo and drop him with the reverse bodyscissors powerbomb. One two three. (5:27) Challenger just pinned the champion. PARK WANTS THE BELT. On the outside, Santo is throwing Perro into the front row and booting him there. They fight on, at least until Perro has to stop to fix his hair and they have a standoff. Santo goes back in the ring to celebrate and invites Perro to make a move - Perro thinks better of it. After another Anniversary show promo, Perro threatens violence to Monito, but is scared off by Santo. IN the ring, Park looks for the crowd support next week against Ultimo, so he wins the title. Break.

Next Week: Hijo Del Santo, Ultimo Guerrero, LA Park, Negro Casas, Dr. Wagner, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Rayo de Jalisco, Canek, Universo 2000, Vampiro, Tarzan Boy and many more.
