Arena Mexico, 02/13/2011
Bam Bam tapatía (2:51)
Winner: Olímpico (2-1)
Match Time: 11:27
Rating: last couple minutes were good and it was a nice finish, but not a match you’d have to see otherwise.
Notes: Entrances! Because there are two guys and it won't really take long. Bam Bam is a member of the long sleeve t-shirt mafia. Super Comando is Olimpico's second, Trueno is with Bam Bam. El Maya is the ref, Rambo is the commissioner.
1: Match is going as they cut back to the ring, but just in opening waistlock and headlocks struggles. Battling on the ground gets neither man anywhere, but that's probably Olímpico's plan. Bam Bam with a neat step under an armbar into an armdrag. His Mohawk is looking good today. Bam Bam forces Olímpico down and ties up the legs. Olímpico reaches for the ropes, Bam Bam pulls him back, but Olímpico eventually gets it. Announcers are discussing the history of the minis. Dueling armdrags gets us nowhere. Zero cover pins, no standoff, Olímpico off the rope and tossed into the air. Bam Bam wasting no time – tapatía! Olímpico in some trouble, and gives! That was sudden, but the tapatía is oh so deadly.
2: Match picked up with Olímpico down and Bam Bam standing over him. Bam scoops him up, fireman's drop, and up goes Bam Bam. He takes his time, perhaps thinking this is too easy. Moonsault, Olímpico rolls, Bam Bam lands on his feet and rolls thru. Bam Bam backs to the corner, Olímpico charges, Bam Bam moves, Olímpico dramatically hits his head on the corner. Bam Bam headscissors into a facebuster. Olímpico off the ropes, casadora into a small package, one two three. Well that was absurd.
3: I bet this goes longer than 3 minutes. Once they get around to actually showing the match, Olímpico is sending Bam Bam face first into the turnbuckle. Forearms to the back. Right. Whip, reversed, Bam Bam charges, in, Olímpico kicks him away, sunset flip, one two kickout. Bam Bam punches I blocked, and Olímpico turns into a pumphandle sideslam. Crowd is not in to this at all. Olímpico walks around to wave at the crowd to get them into it, but nope. Cover now, one two no. Shot to Bam Bam's head. Olímpico now taking time to argue with the front row fans. No hurry out of the challenger. Elbow to the shoulder, armbar. Double armbar, trapping one and grabbing the other. Kneebreaker. Olímpico stopping to gesture at the crowd. Even his gestures have no particular urgency or fire in them. Standing chinlock on Bam Bam. Corner whip, Olímpico running clothesline. He was sizing up that clothesline the whole way there. Corner charge, another running with his arm out the whole way clothesline, Bam Bam sees it and slides thru the ropes to escape. Olímpico punches, Bam Bam blocks jab him in the stomach flips over him, Olímpico misses another clothesline, Olímpico turns and slips a bit, and Bam Bam superkicks him. They cut away and impact, like they always due, but Olímpico might have taking more than he was expecting because of that slip. Maya is checking on Olímpico as he crawls around on his hands and knees. Bam Bam throws lame slaps to Olímpico’s back. Whip, reversed, Bam Bam spins thru the ropes, Olímpico throws himself out. Bam Bam off the ropes – tornillo connects, Bam Bam's leg into Olímpico's shoulder. That's probably now how they wanted it to connect. Replays make it look painful. Olímpico in, Bam Bam on the apron, Olímpico charges and Bam Bam swing kicks him away. Springboard in, over Bam Bam as he charges. Bam Bam stands, and Olímpico dropkicks him out. Olímpico runs – tope made some strong contract. Olímpico back in first and celebrating. Bam Bam pull himself on the apron, but Olímpico cuts him off with a shoulder to the gut this time. Olímpico tries to post him, Bam Bam blocks it and smashes Olímpico instead, top roe plancha, Olímpico rolls thru, one two NO. Crowd sort of into the near fall, as much as they've been into anything. Olímpico waved by, back with a 'ran, bam Bam easily rolls thru one two no. Bam Bam charges, casadora, into a mecedora. Will Olímpico give? No, he'll reverse it into a seated cradle one two NO. That would've actually been a decent finish. Both slow up. Bam Bam off the ropes, back with a 'rana – no, Olímpico powerbomb, and rolled into a half crab with an armbar. That'll work. Bam Bam struggling, fighting it but not going anywhere – and now he's done. New champion.

Match Time: 13:53
Rating: seen better
Notes: Entrances here too. There's a corresponding lack of filler on this show compared to the 52MX one. Porky and Negro dance. And then together! And then Negro is disgusted by this idea. Volador and Porky have words before Volador can get in, and Volador blocks a punch and kicks Porky back. Springboard dropkick sends Porky out, and Volador follows with a tope! Blow the whistle! Referees are Maya and Bestia Negra.
1: Panther and Garza are left in when the match picks up. Panther sends Hector out a headscissors, Negro kicks out Panther, Toscano planchas Negro and dropkick him out and poses. Volador dropkicks Toscano out from behind. Porky in and telling Volador to bring it. Volador polls the crowd. Crowd way more into this than the title match. Volador with a flipping run, back with a sunset flip, Porky blocks it and sits down for the three. Técnicos hold the rudos off as the referees count the pin. Técnicos want the referees to raise their arms, but the referees yell at them about Volador not being the referees. Everyone stands around and staring at each other for a while, then Garza runs into a Panther spinebuster. Negro drags Volador to safety while Porky splashes Garza for the other pin.
2: Negro gets in his kicks on Panther, but Panther blocks one and starts to turn it into a submission. Garza breaks it up and calls in Porky, but then changes he is mind and kicks around Panther instead. Panther turns the tables, Garza flips out of the corner to avoid a charge, Panther manages to pull him down by his hair on the next pass, and then ends in out with a slow headscissors. Garza retreats far into the crowd to take a seat. Tags to Volador and Toscano, but Toscano wants negro Casas. Volador doesn't really understand this, but I guess it's for saving Volador for Porky. Toscano does a double bicep pose. Negro stalks around, observers, and puts on a full nelson! Toscano breaks the Masterlock! Negro is impresses. Chop battle. Negro heel kicks Toscano questionably slow to stop that. Whip, reversed, Negro gets a boot up, but runs out into an armbar. A second, and Negro faints right out than take a third. Hector walks right into to Toscano's pointy finger. Garza strips, causing Porky to faint. Garza tosses his shirt at Toscano, who tosses it into the crowd. Off the ropes avoidance bits, and an armdrag sends Garza out. Volador in, Volador headscissorsed out. Toscano stops to pose on the turnbuckle. Cheers, but louder male boos. Porky and Volador in. they compete for reactions, crowd seems to prefer Porky. Volador decides to leave and Garza comes in. Garza knocks Porky down with a shoulderblock, but runs into an armdrag. And another. Porky, remaining in the center of the ring, goes for a third, but Garza scoops him up, spins him around, and slams him to the mat. Rudos block the técnicos, and that's the fall. Negro beats up Panther on the outside or no reason, and Volador gets on top of Porky to yell at him.
3: Rudos in control. Corner clotheslines for Porky. Toscano kicked questionably low. Negro and Garza drop down too soon on a whip, and Porky splashes them both. Volador superkicks Porky, but Panther gives Volador a quebradora. Panther and Toscano organize the messiest set up to Porky's big splash yet, Porky lands it, but the rudos all kick out. Técnicos rush the rudos all out, but the rudos pull out Toscano and Panther before they can think about diving. Técnicos shove into each other, but, Porky splashes many of the group. Few go down, and Negro just walks off before the dive. Volador throws Panther back in for Negro. Crowd behind Negro and Negro kissing up the crowd. Chop fight. Panther off the ropes, Negro dropkick tot he knee- Negro's shots are looking very exposed today, that too. Casita is shoved off. Panther off the ropes, Negro trips him up, sharpshooter reversed into a figure four by Panther. That was nifty. Negro in trouble, and Garza has to make the save. Garza backs up and leaves, and Volador offer to take over, but Negro is content clotheslining Panther himself. Negro urges another to get back up, and his clothesline I turned into an armbar takedown. Volador rushes in, and – spits something into Panther's face? No one's quite sure what happened. Volador with a chinbreaker on Panther one two NO. That's a odd sequence not to be the finish. Both sit around to see who the crowd cheers – not much, really. Volador off the ropes, up and over sunset flips looks really slow, ends up in the ropes, and Toscano breaks it up. Crowd hating Toscano at the moment. Toscano extended suplex is reversed into a small package, one two no. Volador stands there, bent over, so Toscano can 'rana him, one two Garza breaks it up. Garza backs Toscano in the corner and slaps him. Corner whip, Garza charges in and the corner when no one’s home. Toscano sets up for a dive, but Garza ducks around the corner, and gets splashed by Porky. Other four in, rudos in control. Técnicos whipped into each other, spinebuster around, and take care of the rudos in submissions. That’s it. Crowd very unhappy that Negro to lost to Toscano
