1: Panther/Maya start off, back and forth but not getting in too deep on the first exchange. Maya gets to sink in some holds on the second time thru, including a hammerlock for a while. Panther ties to hiptoss out of that, but Maya cinches up to an armbar. Panther uses his strength to get to a wristlock, and suspends over him for a bit, before the monkey flip spot. They both headstand for a bodyscissors, Panther gets it, but Maya break free and smoothly turns into a Boston crab. Rolled around into a rana.

Pólvora in, and his dropkicked is waved into Panther. Monkey flip sends Pólvora cross ring, back for a quebradora, back for another quebradora. Atlantis is fired up. He waves for Maya to come in and run, and Maya runs into a backdrop into a wild tope con giro. Panthers sets up, and Delta moonsaults him – well, moonsaults close to him. Atlantis gets Pólvora with a cradle for the other pin.

2: Takes a moment for everyone to settle down to their corners. Panther and Maya start again.

Of the ropes evasion, Delta springboard casadora armdrag sends Fuego thru the ropes. Delta starts running, but Pólvora cuts him off with a dropkick. Maya yells something to Delta form the apron.

Delta back in, loaded up to Pólvora, Super Pólvora Driver. He's done. Maya snap mared, double suplex by Fuego and Panther, and Pólvora adds the frog splash. One two three. Panther knocks Atlantis around on the floor.

3: Rudos – team Panther – untie Atlantis’ mask. The young members of the team double backdrop him. Panther is himself is trapping Delta’s leg in a chair, and kicking and chopping him onto a fan who won't move. Stomps for Atlantis. Panther comes in, spotting Maya also coming into late.

Atlantis dropkicks Panther out, Fuego dropkicks Atlantis. Atlantis turns the tide, but Fuego still manages to trip him up, dashes to the apron, and lands the springboard splash. Off the ropes, backdrop escape armdrag by Fuego, and his tope – actually seems to be good, but Atlantis is almost sitting in the front row, so it comes a little short. Replay of the dive. Fuego did make contact, just not where he'd like. Back inside, Delta casadora cradles Panther one two NO. Slow counting here. Delta screams Si Se Pueda. Headscissors cradle, Panther rolls it over, one two NO. Think Panther was reaching for the ropes but not close enough there. Panther clothesline caught, Delta scoops him up and fireman drops him. Second rope moonsault, lands, second rope moonsault again (!), it connects, second rope moonsault lands a third time one two Pólvora breaks it up! Crowd really wanted that three count and lets Pólvora know it. He's distracted by it, but does mange to knee Delta right in the head. Slap to chest.

Clothesline turns into an Atlantis backslid, one two Fuego breaks it up with an elbow drop. Atlantis frustrated, he and Fuego shove. Fuego quebradora actually knocks someone down! One two Maya breaks it up. Haven't seem much for him. Atlantis give him a big high five for the breakup, northern lights suplex one two NO. Double armbar cradle, one two no. Fuego and Maya slap each other high, sweat splashing off them now. Fuego clothesline misses, Maya double jumping knees to the back. Maya charges, and Fuego flips him all the way to the floor.

Panther charges, right into an Atlantida – but Pólvora and Fuego break it up. Pólvora may pull Atlantis’ mask here. It isn’t too clear from our angle, but then definitely small packages Atlantis, with Fuego and Panther helping hold. One two three.

Replay shows no mask pull. Atlantis just went down a bit easy at the end there, though I guess three people pinning him is not that easy.

Match 2: Diamante, Hijo del Signo, Negro Casas © vs Ángel de Oro, Rey Escorpion, Último Guerrero © in a Forjando un Idolo match
Arena Mexico, 06/10/2011

  1. Team Guerrero

  2. Team Casas
  3. Team Casas

Winner: team Casas (2-1)
Match Time: 16:17
Rating: good, really strong in parts
Notes: What are the referee names muted out? So weird. It's Rodolfo.

1: Opening are Diamante/Signo. Armbar focus. Team Casas storms the ring as if to break the armbar, which brings in the other side. It does not break down, teams calmly going back to their corner. Headscissors spots and hard slaps while in holds for a bit, but I'm just waiting for someone to grab a hold. Nice Monkey flip double wristlock bit, these two do work better against each other than you'd expect for a rudo/rudo bit. Standoff leads to shoves lead to chops, lead to Escorpion taking it outside, leads to kicks, leads to forearms, leads to Escorpion backing off and gesturing to the crowd, as he does. Negro and Oro next, crowd happy to see Negro. Angel de Oro hears this chant for Negro, and thinks it's a good idea to pose on the middle buckle. He is wrong. Angel de Oro gets a takedown, both get knee bars and kick each other with the other legs. Cute bit. Back up, mote Negro chants. Angel de Oro gets a facelock and holds onto, as Negro keep spinning to get free. Battle continues to a wristlock, Oro pinning Negro on the mat but not enough for a pin. Angel de Oro tries to forced it with a headstand, but Negro gets three. Standoff. Wristlock, Angel de Oro down, Angel back up, counters, standoff and messing with the crowd. Tags and Diamante and UG in last. Both distracted by Escorpion fooling around on the stage. Headlock, Diamante shot off, over and into an Escorpion kick from the apron. UG rushes to get rid of the Casas team – who we'll just call the técnicos now – and UG's rudos take over the ring. Signo held by the ramp for Angel de Oro land the flying sit, Oro riding Signo to the ground and punching Signo there. Nice vicious addition. Diamante rushes over and shoves UG, UG lets Diamante grab him, expecting his partners to be there. His partners are off in never never land at that moment, but Angel de Oro does return to hit Diamante from behind. Oro sets up Diamante on the rope, and Escorpion connects on his top rope wheel kick. Escorpion slingshot tope con giro out, sliding under the front row in impact. Other four in, team UG cleans it up.

2: Rudos have remained in control in the interim. UG has trouble going up for the Senton de la Muerte on Signo, and the crowd hoots at him. Drop toe hold/dropkick for Diamante. Signo back in and kicked questionably low. Escorpion clotheslines him out of the ring. Triple boot for Negro. Diamante slapped around in the corner. Corner whip, UG misses the splash, other two kicked away, Diamante charge out for the handspring cartwheel over the clothesline, his double clotheslines, but he superkicks UG while his partners take care of the other two. Pounding all around. Negro kicks and throws Angel de Oro around ringside while the other two slap and kick in the ring. Signo has Rey Escorpion while Diamante gets Escorpion. Angel de Oro and Negro somehow split, end up back in the ring, and stay apart long enough for Signo to give Angel de Oro a big shove. Chop battle between Negro and Oro is even, Negro dropkicks Angel de Oro, and sillas him form the apron. Crowd approves. Rey Escorpion takes a big backdrop from Signo. Dropkick send shim out, and Signo follows with an Asai reverse plancha. UG fights back from the apron with swing kick and finishes UG with a springboard 450 splash. He's the captain, that's the fall.

3: No whistle? Signo and Angel de Oro start off. Kicks back and forth, Signo off the ropes, Angel de Oro drops down, and Signo elbow drops him, totally landing on Oro in the process. Oro is not feeling good, so Signo makes him feel worse with stomps. Whip, reversed, leapfrog, clothesline misses, Angle de Oro lands the handspring plancha, for two. Signo clothesline misses when Angel de Oro kips under it, and a superkicks ends him out. Angel de Oro taunts Negro in, and tags in Escorpion. Lockup, Escorpion pushes Negro in the ropes and lets Negro know about it. Lockup, Negro a hammerlock, Escorpion back elbows, Negro spins him, slap fight turns into a chop fight, with Negro yelling at him. Forearms to the face, punches to the face, Negro bounces off the ropes to delivered the biggest one. Crowd is fired up – and Rey Escorpion kills him dead with a punch. Escorpion choked Negro, then stops to pose on the middle rope to boos. Face slap battle! Rey Escorpion wins with a knee. Hard slap. Hard slap right back. Now they're taking turns with chops. Corner whip, reversed, Rey Escorpion lands a loud chop. They are hitting each other hard. Corner whip, Rey Escorpion chops misses, Negro heel kick, three side kicks, Escorpion tripped up, and Negro dropkicks him right in the face. Rey Escorpion looks to be the loser of this one, based on his expression. REPLAY. UG and Diamante are now in, UG dares Diamante to climb up top, Diamante is a dummy, Diamante is superbombed well and good. One two NO. Corner whip, UG charges in, Diamante moves, knee bump out, and Diamante follows with a top rope Asai tornillo. Back inside, Negro flips Rey Escorpion with a dropkick to the knee, casita one two three. Signo nudos Angel de Oro, and that's it.
