Other Match Notes: Entrances, and no dubbed music for Arena Mexico. Marcela doesn't have her title, but Amapola has hers. Princesa Blanca has a cat hood, or something like that. Babe Richard and Pompin are your refs. lots of empty seats, and the building isn't that much visible

1: Naturally, full entrances, JIP falls. Blanca escapes an Amapola tilt-a-whirl to armdrag her, and kicks her into the corner. Corner whip, reversed, Amapola charges in and hits the post. Medusa in and on Blanca with punches to the ides and kicks to the inside of the leg. Corner whip, reversed, Medusa heads back to the corner where she came, Blanca charge and gets tossed to the apron. Blanca shoulders Medusa away and gets her with a headscissors on the way in. Hiroka drops Blanca with one hard kick to the midsection and throws her by her hair. Tecnicas come into help, but Amapola alerts the referees to stop them. Meanwhile, Hiroka's annoying the crowd. and kicking Blanca on the mat. Powerbomb? No, Blanca escapes with an armdrag on the much smaller woman. Hiroka fires up, misses a clothesline, wildly miss a back elbow, and Blanca slaps her on the backside. Hiroka's thrown and spun by her hair, and gets out before taking more. Blanca follows her out with a double jump plancha. Amapola in, and dropkicking India Sioux as she comes in. Marcela in for the tecnicas as Medusa takes out India with an apron silla. Marcela gets Amapola with an inside cradle for two, but a clothesline is caught right into the double underhook faceslam. One two three. That turned around quick for the rudas, though Amapola doesn't appear to be the slightest bit surprised. 

2: Beatdown in progress. Blanca is thrown around by her hair, then the rudos work together to get her in the Tree of Woe for a Medusa sliding dropkick. Or, not so much - Blanca bends up, Medusa gets crotched on the post, and Blanca comes off the top rope with a plancha for the other two. They recover, just in time to take a missile dropkick from Marcela. Medusa is whipped, but ducks a clothesline and rolls out, taunting the tecnicas. That would work well if India wasn't on the top rope - plancha to the floor. Marcela gives Amapola a double underhook backbreaker and is looking at the crowd when Blanca calls her back for some help. Blanca whips Hiroka into a Marcela tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Same for Amapola - no, Amapola reverses it, and Marcela carelessly gives her own partner the backbreaker. That's hard to mess up, but Marcela did. Rudas take immediate advantage. Amapola with a nudo out of Gory stretch to submit Marcela, and Hiroka blocks a Blanca bodyscissors roll with a simple sit down. Sweep for the rudas.

Very briefly, they show Blanca pointing at Marcela, but it's a quick edit. Blanca is right, this week.

Match 2: Polvora vs Flash in a lightning match
Arena Mexico, 12/19/08

Winner: Flash
Match Time: 5:35
Approx Rating: ehhh
Other Match Notes: Flash has his Arena Coliseo Tag belt. Polvora is not wearing his gear, opting to wrestle in dark pants and a belt. Ring announcer Mucha Crema is not paying much attention and announces this as one fall with no time limit; hey, half right! Terror Chino is your ref.

JIP. Flash slingshots in with a sunset flip on on Polvora, one two no. Flash's clothesline is blocked, and Polvora swings it around into a short clothesline. Polvora needs to catch his breath here, so he yells at the crowd. Both guys are breathing hard. Suplex? Yes, with a twist, and Polvora holds out for another. Flash escapes this one, waistlock cradle with a back bridge one two no. Crowd not making much noise, for either match. Flash misses a clothesline, and Polvora dropkicks him out - or not, Flash hits the apron and decides to roll back in. Polvora poses, facing the other way, as if expecting to be struck in the back, but it's not coming. Flash walks to another side of the ring and rests on one knee until Polvora comes over to chest slap him. Polvora stopping to pose, and I think the crowd would like him to do more than one move without posing. Corner whip, Polvora charges in, Flash lifts his body up to get out of the way, and Polvora looks very staged hitting the post. This sends Polvora to the floor, and Flash runs towards him on the apron for a ringpost headscissors. Good idea that didn't get over much. Flash goes back in, but just to run and stop on the top rope (almost losing his balance but keeping it together) - springboard 360 plancha. That gets a replay. Flash tries to crawl in first, but Polvora yanks him by his trunks and throws him down, climbing in himself. Flash still is up on the apron in plenty of time. Polvora's punches are blocked, Flash runs him in the turnbuckle, and dies into Polvora's dropkick. He's not Sangre Azteca. One two NO. Yea, my point stands. Rowdy tecnico fans try to get behind Flash, but are lonely. Whip, Polvora dropkick, second rope dropkick, pose. Polvora encouraging the crowd to please make some noise, but I think a more interesting match might do it for them. Flash set on top, and this an odd time for a crowd shot. Especially since there's no clip. Polvora chops Flash to hold him there, then looks around a bit before joining Flash on top. Flash fights back, steps all the way up, and pulls Polvora off the ropes with a sunset flip powerbomb. One two no. Flash tries to rally. Flash off the reaps, over, handspring reverse tope is good, but the crowd has started to turn on the match for existing this long. Polvora's clothesline is blocked, and Flash turns it into a running side slam. Flash goes up, with not much protest form the crowd, 450 splash is aborted, Flash lands on his feet when Polvora moves. Polvora falls into position (a bit to easily), Flash off the ropes, and the Flashina leg cradle should get this one done. One two three. Some cheering, but this wasn't really over.

Approx Rating: usual
Other Match Notes: Dubbed entrances. Maximo does the promo for his team, apparently saying something that angers Sangre Azteca, judging by his run in on the interview. Dragon Rojo does them for his team. I love how the referee checks Sangre Azteca for weapons while he still has his giant poncho on.

1: Matchups are Dragon Rojo/Sagrado, Sangre/Maximo (who is able to fight off the kiss once, but Maximo has a way of countering that counter into another kiss). No Skandalo/Dorada, though Dorada is in long enough to sucker Sangre into a Maximo dive. The other four are left in the ring, with Dorada's attempt at the winning roll up slow and into the ropes. Such is life. 

Maximo tries to force himself on Sangre and turns the camera way from seeing it. Good time for a break.  

2: Skandalo/Dorada sequence is here, and Dorada looks completely good for once. Dragon Rojo and Sagrado have a chest slap battle, won by Sagrado, but Dragon Rojo cuts him down with a big boot. Sagrado headscissors him out of the ring. Sangre and Maximo next, but Sangre decides to walk out than deal with him again. Crowd wants a kiss, but Sangre agrees to come back in to wrestle. Maximo gets off the ropes once before Dragon Rojo gets in a cheap shot, and the beatdown starts there. Lots of focus on Maximo. Dragon Rojo gets the inside out springboard dropkick on Sagrado. Skandalo covers Sagrado right after, with no on really paying attention to it, and a ref belatedly counts it for the fall. 

3: Rudos still in control, and tecnicos not in a hurry to come in. Dorada is first, and takes corner charges, with Sangre finishing with a run up the corner sunset flip. Nice team work between Sangre and Dragon Rojo to quickly set up a dropkick to the face on Sagrado. Corner charges for Maximo, and he's whipped out into Sangre's spinebuster. His partners hold Maximo's legs apart, so Sangre can add the flying low blow stomp. Sangre covers, but the other tecnicos break it up. rudos take core of them, and perhaps accident knock them both out at the same time. Sangre stands ready for someone else, and Maximo comes in again. Corner whip, Dragon Rojo smashes him with a running clothesline, then holds him bent over so Sangre Azteca and dropkick Maximo from behind, knocking him in the corner. Skandalo charges for more, but ends up just spearing the post. The other tecnicos give backbreakers to the other rudos. Dorada loves Dragon on the mat, instead, getting Skandalo with a double jump moonsault to the floor. Sagrado superkicks out Maximo, and gives Sangre a spinning backbreaker. Maximo dropkicks Sangre out, then runs for a dive - but Dragon Rojo trips him up from outside. Dragon Rojo turns to celebrate, and Sagrado topes him right in the back. Sangre back in, with Maximo against him. Sangre not happy with this turn of events. Punch misses, Maximo blocks everything Sangre's got, shoulderblock, double jump butt bump grazes Sangre. Maximo picks up Sangre, and Sangre lays him out with a low blow uppercut. Everyone in the world saw that, so that's the end. Sangre's annoyed that he was that frustrated. Sagrado shoves Sangre away from doing more.

Replays, and that's it.
