CMLL FSE GdR - 06/15/08 (#96)
Intro: more outside with the mask sellers.
Match 1: Arkangel de la Muerte, Diamante Negro, Virus
(c) vs Felino, Leono, Súper Nova (c)
Arena Coliseo, 06/01/08
Winner: Tecnicos (2-0)
Match Time: 11:57
Approx Rating: Okay.
Other Match Notes: Leono appears to be trying Olimpico's diet plan. Super Nova has the Angels t-shirt. Having
matching gear places you at the same level as Guerreros Tuareg, which is not high praise. Diamante Negro is wearing a Santos Lagunas jersey. Arkangel entering makes me realize how wrong I am - the Tuareg ring coats are so much cooler than the t-shirts. Diamante does the promo for his team, talking Super Nova and Santos
Lagunas. Super Nova's the captain? I guess it's a farewell present.
1: Ark/Leono start with stuff on the mat. Just stuff. It gets more interesting with the next two, and a spot where Super Nova traps Diamante Negro in an full nelson. Nova outpowering the guy with six pack abs is an odd choice (as is putting Diamante Negro in a match with Leono when they're trying to show off Leono's additional muscles.) Diamante does power out pretty easily, and they continue chain wrestling until Nov a gets a couple armdrags. That's where it should end, but Negro gets a hammerlock for some reason, and so Nova ditches him with a jumping rebounding snap mare. Nova fakes the dive while he's at it. Tags to Felino and Virus, and Felino quickly clotheslines and dropkicks Virus out. Ark in, and booting down Felino. Leono gets him with a springboard armdrags, Diamante gets him with a running high kick. Negro whips Leono and follows, and watches as Leono slingshots into a tornillo on Arkangel. Nova springboards in to send Diamante out with a headscissors, and follows with a tope con giro the other way. Vets left in, Virus is caught in a powerslam, and Felino adds a running senton for good measure. One two three.
2: Ark and Nova start the second fall. Nova is able to the first to the top rope, and Arkangel flies a long way when taking a 'rana. Tags to Leono and Virus. Crowd does not like Leono or his hiptoss into a powerbomb. Leono appears to need to run off the ropes twice before executing any maneuver, and occasionally gets loose. Virus is thrown out by his hair and Leono does a dive fake. Virus must've done something in response, because Felino rushes out of the ring to shove him up the aisle. How odd. Felino goes back in to rally the crowd, and the rudos have to hold Virus back from storming the ring. I don't know why they have to, but they sure felt that way. Nova and Diamante pick up, with Nova trying to set the record for most flips from one corner to the other. Satellite armdrag to send Diamante to the ropes, springboard armdrag sends Diamante to the ropes, Diamante hammer clothesline sends Super Nova to his grave. That was harsh. Diamante shoves Nova into the corner and chops him hard. Corner whip, reversed, Nova charges in, Negro flips him to the apron, Negro actually gets he better of him there for a second, but Nova puts the breaks on when Diamante tries to post him, and Diamante to the buckle instead. Springboard armdrags sends Negro out, and Nova smoothly slides out after him into a headscissors on the floor. Tecnicos are really dominating this match. Virus and Felino in, and Virus enrages Felino with a shove. Felino takes him down, off the ropes, over, Ark gets in a cheap kick from outside, and that finally starts the beatdown. Felino gets a mudhole stomped in him while his young partners stands on the apron and do nothing for the duration. Leono is worked over, though it takes longer than they expect when Diamante Negro yells at the crowd, unaware the rudos are waiting for him to hold a leg. (One of the refs clues him in. How helpful!) Arkangel
gives Leono a questionably low elbow drop, and knocked out. Nova gets kicked down. Whip,
Virus drop toe holds him into the ropes, and Diamante knocks him back in the ring with a double jump dropkick. Arkangel adds a middle rope elbow drop, one two three.
I guess Nova's not meant to be the captain, because the match rolls on.
Rudos bring Leono in, but instead of beating him, they end up triple booting him out of the ring. Arkangel follows him out with a top rope plancha that takes nearly as much out of him. The other two bring Felino back in, and just as he's ducking a double clothesline, FSE shows a replay of Ark's dive. Bad timing!
Back in the ring, Felino is celebrating having beat Diamante Negro somehow, while Virus is looking the wrong way and also celebrating the pin he thought Negro got. Virus turns around, finds out what happened, and is naturally shocked. Virus charges, and gets thrown around by armdrags. Felino grabs a waistlock, and Virus mule kicks him. The kick is obviously supposed to foul Felino, because Felino sells it that way despite it not coming close - Virus' kick is outside of Felino's legs, while Felino acts as though it hit directly between it. I think Virus is well aware he missed, because he quickly adds a low blow legdrop, and that one doesn't miss. Refs watched this whole exchange and award the DQ right there. Straight falls for the tecnicos, though the rudos beat them up a little after the fact.
They never show a replay of Felino pinning Diamante Negro, so they must've actually missed it. Poor.
Match 2: Ephesto, Olímpico (c), Sangre Azteca vs Grey Shadow, La Máscara, Sagrado
(c)
Arena Coliseo, 06/01/08
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 11:54
Approx Rating: Eh.
Other Match Notes: Sagrado has the Angels t-shirt. All Mascara can think about to talk about in his promo is be an ex-champion. Thank goodness he got himself a new title. Oh, that's probably because Sangre is here with his belt. Sangre isn't worried about Mascara or Shadow, because he's the King.
1: Normal tecnico exchange, with the focus being on the Shadow/Sangre exchange at the end. Shadow overshoots Sangre on the tope con giro even more than usual. The Sagrado/Mascara beating the other two bit is done well, Mascara beating Olimpico with a casita and Sagrado getting a 'rana on Ephesto for the fall.
2: Sagrado/Olimpico is pretty typical, including Olimpico claiming foul on a backbreaker. While watching
replays of that, the beatdown breaks out. Just to make it harder to follow, the fight breaks out in the
shadows of the entrance ramp. Rudos bring it back to the ring to work over Grey
Shadow in the corner, including Sangre getting his low blow dropkick. Sangre keeps
Shadow from leaving as the other two work over Mascara. Sangre sends Shadow into
head butting his partner's chest, then scoops him and drops him with a layout slide slam. One two three. Not the
captain, thought the rudos are in no hurry to find someone else. Mascara volunteers
himself and takes a corner elbow from Ephesto, and then a grounded Octopus hold for the fall.
3: Rudos hold an empty ring as the fall starts. Tecnicos are still regrouping on the outside.
Sagrado's yanked into get something going, though the rudos can't decide what to do at first.
They settle on the flying sit, and it connects. Sangre pulls Shadow back in
again, but needs some help to stop Shadow from overwhelming him. Shadow's set up for the sit, and it connects again. Mascara comes in, and the
rudos are too busy staring at the crowd to even attack him. So he stands there until
they do. Whip, waved by, double drop toe hold, Sangre dropkick to the face. Sangre and Olimpico make a wish
with his legs. Ephesto apparently has a plan, which is sure to fail. Mascara's
corner whipped (and hurting?), Ephesto charges, Mascara flips him to the apron, and
sidesteps Sanger's charge. While Mascara takes out Olimpico with a superkick, Ephesto's tripped of the apron, and
Sangre's tripped and crotches on the post. Harsh. Shadow's all about getting revenge
punches on him, but looks in the ring and hides on the apron - he's got to duck out of the way of the Mascara/Sagrado double tope, you see. Sangre crawls back in,
Ephesto's thrown back in, Sagrado comes in to fight one of them. Sangre starts begging off from Sagrado, only to see him walk by to hit Ephesto instead, and they show a close up of a very confused Sangre Azteca. Luckily,
Sagrado beats up Ephesto quick, and Sangre can go right back to begging off.
Sagrado grabs him by the mask, Sangre fights back with punches and slaps. Whip,
reversed, Sagrado back breaker, spun into a gutbuster. One two no, Ephesto
breaks it up. Whip, reverses, Sagrado spinebusters Ephesto, but Ephesto grabs him in a
headscissors cradle From the mat, one two Mascara breaks it up with a big kick. Mascara's big
move is...covering. One two Olimpico breaks it up. Olimpico chops Mascara out of the
ring, then gets knocked down by weak Grey Shadow shoulderblocks three times. Shadow finally gets to
the side of the ring where Sangre is waiting for him, so Sangre can trip him up and pull out. Sangre
suplexes Shadow on the floor, as Mascara wanders by and does nothing to help his partner. Meanwhile, Olimpico rolls thru a
Sagrado 'rana, one two three. Odd ending there.
Sangre gets a hug from a female front row fan, so he's a winner. Shadow rolls around on the floor in pain, so he's not so much. Replay of the double tope spot - was Shadow supposed to be in for a triple top? Possibly. Sagrado and
Mascara stand in the ring, after everyone else's left. Olimpico joins them, and tells them to back up and give him room. He's got to do push ups. Olimpico's all ready now, and
challenges them to fight 2 on 1 - then bolts for the back. Tecnicos chase him out, and that's it.
