Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 10:09
Rating: too short for much
Notes: Palacio Negro and Black metal wear matching gear. Poor Black Metal. Ref is Loco Estrada

1: JIP, as almost everything today is. Hooligan and Palacio Negro are not in the same weight class. They’re a few apart, but they start here. Crowd has a special Hooligan chant; crowd is awesome. They're even battle. Quick clip to Metal and Skándalo, where Skándalo works an under arm hold for a while. Metal flips to escape, and is put right back in the hold. Metal does come back with awesome armdrags, and Skándalo is shaking a bit as he gets up. Black Metal always seems to stand on the balls of his feet, like he's a movie martial artist. They stay in a while but don't get far. Quick cut back to the other two. Off in the back ground, there's two fans getting into a chanting war with an entire other section, and both sides are very into it. In the ring, Skandalo quickly ends up helping with a clothesline on Palacio and a slap for Black Metal. Palacio takes a double out. Metal takes a dropkick to the knee, dropkick to the head. Teleformula goes to a random break here.

In the web version, rudos whip the técnicos to same corner, which sets up a Palacio Negro plancha. Black Metal adds his own splash, and then the técnicos both wrapped up their opponents. Black Metal actually hits Hooligan with a springboard plancha, neither man goes down, and then Metal just puts on the hold for the submission. Palacio's hold is ridiculous.

2: Rudos have the beatdown going again. Palacio Negro takes the Skándalo low blow dropkick. Black Metal is tossed up in the air and kicked on the way down. Skándalo drapes Palacio Negro over the middle rope, though Hooligan switches which corner he wants to dive from. Crushing senton con giro, and that's one pin. Hooligan whips Black Metal right into the setup for the Skándalo Driver, and that's it. Announcers discuss the legality of that move.

Replays.

3: Randomly back to one on one, and Metal is getting in offense on Skandalo with no problem. This was an oddly laid out match. Palacio Negro pulls of the headstand backflip headscissors. Big clip after that, back to the rudos both being in. Hooligan tries to hold Black Metal upside down for a dropkick, but he pulls out and Skandalo very obviously kicks his partner. Técnicos dropkick the rudos out. Palacio Negro gets Hooligan with a tope, and Black Metal gets Skandalo with an Asai plancha, I guess. Clip to everyone being back in. Rudos lift Black Metal off the top rope, teases presses him out, teases it, Black Metal holds onto the top rope, they all stand around waiting for a while even longer, and then toss Metal out onto Palacio Negro. DQ. Rudos can't believe the rules are being enforced.

Replays include moves not originally shown.

Match 2: Sangre Azteca, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Rey Bucanero, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi
Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, 02/22/2011

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: eh
Rating: 11:35
Notes: Refs are Loco and Samurai. Sangre Azteca is in a good mood for some reason.

1: Okumura & Stuka is Okumura holding Stuka in a hammerlock a long time, and stopping him from making a tag. Except, Stuka quite clearly makes a tag to Sangre Azteca, and it doesn't count for some reason. Stuka finally gets a jumping snap mare to send him out. Quick cut to Valiente and Yoshihashi in. Yoshihashi is not completely stretched on the mat, this time, but Valiente does get out of anything he tries rather easily. They don't get anywhere. Another quick cut to Sangre Azteca and Rey Bucanero, where Bucanero lands his triple back breaker/elbow driver, but opts to taunt rather than pin. Sangre side steps a corner charges and headscissors him out. Zacarias comes in and attacks with ankle kicks. Sangre is just confused. Zacarias talks him into getting to his knees, and gets slapped in the face. Zacarias runs out of the ring, diving onto Bucanero for no real reason. Rey abandons the bird, and Sangre gets Bucanero with his own pescado. Other four in, técnicos finish it up.

A girl who's clearly had a few drinks approaches the ring, and Bucanero has a bit of fun with her.

2: Valiente runs wild on Bucanero with monkey flips, rips up Okumura's shirt and headscissors him out, then causes Okumura to knocks down his friend Yoshihashi on the outside. Bucanero cheap shots Sangre on the apron and runs away. This leads to Stuka & Yoshihashi instead. Yoshihashi yells a lot, knocks down Stuka with a clothesline. Stuka eventually dropkick him out. Bucanero rush in, gets Stuka with a clothesline, and cheap shots Sangre again. Sangre can't understands why the refs keep stopping him from getting Bucanero. Stuka evades Bucanero a bit and gets him with a headscissors. Clip to the middle of the beatdown. A lot of clipping tonight. Yoshihashi missile dropkicks Valiente. Okumura takes care of Stuka, and the rest of the rudos keep the rest of the técnicos at bay. They need one more pin, still. Rey sits Sangre down in front of the corner, and Zacarias runs a cross the ring to land a sliding headbutt to the groin. Meanwhile, Yoshihashi lands the swanton on Valiente for the other pin.

3: Clip, and Sangre Azteca is putting his mask on. Hmm. Also, Bucanero is carrying Zacarias into the crowd for some reason. Lots of wandering around and brawling in the ring. Rudos disorganizingly walk Stuka around on the ramp, leaving him near the entrance. Bucanero tries to leap off Okumura’s back for a flying sit on Sangre, but that does poorly, Bucanero slipping on the way over. Bucanero sets Valiente near the ropes, walks up to Yoshihashi, whips him towards the ring, and Valiente just hiptosses Yoshihashi in. I don’t know what's going on here, but neither do they. Técnicos beat up Bucanero on the ramp, Zacarias goes after them, that does not go well. Backbreaker for Zacarias. Bucanero takes the multiple stamping powerbomb, and is held up for a Sangre low blow dropkick. Everyone comes back in for moves on others, and Stuka and Valiente land topes on the Japanese. Sangre and Bucanero left in, clothesline don't work either way, Bucanero tosses Sangre and fouls him. That's it.

Match 3: Hijo del Fantasma ©, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada vs Terrible, Texano, Volador Jr.
Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, 02/22/2011

  2. técnicos
  3. rudos

Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 9:50
Rating: not much
Notes: Same refs.

1: Rudos jump the técnicos, dominate with team moves, and win rather quickly.

2: Beatdown goes on. JCR reminds Shocker how he's responsible for Terrible, winning Guapos U and all. Fantasma sidesteps a headscissors to start the comeback, with Sombra and Dorada getting headscissors. Sombra gets Volador with a tope con giro, and the other técnicos get rollups (though Dorada's is quite iffy) to wrap it up. This is fine action, but way too short to mean anything at this point.

3: Técnico showcases go Dorada, Fantasma, Sombra. Dorada looks good. Fantasma poses and dances, and Texano watches before slapping him down. Fantasma picked it up from there, ending with a superkick on Volador. Sombra and Texano compete for reactions. Texano cuts off a flipping run with a kick to the chest. Terrible comes in to help, turns out to be not much help. Sombra's goes to dive on Texano, but Volador comes in to cut him off and they goes face to face. One springboard headscissors sends Volador out, Texano bumps Sombra out, everyone else gets involved, Terrible accidentally slaps Texano in the face, Dorada dropkick them both out, and he and Fantasma follow with tope con giros. Volador and Sombra back in, Sombra surprises Volador with a springboard plancha, but immediately walks right into the headscissors driver for the clean pin.

Replays and show.
