técnicos
Winner: rudas (2-1)
Match Time: 10:30
Rating: bleh
Notes: Referee is Pompin.
1: Sugheit and Mágica start. Pretty sure Sugheit could bench press Mágica. Maybe both Magicas at once. Sugheit punches the técnicas until Mágica comes back with her wacky armdrags. Dalis vs Blanca features more kickboxing spots, and a run up the ropes inverted plancha. Seductora comes up short on a dropkick of Dalis, but everyone pretends and the rudas stomp Dalis out of the ring. Rudas are able to contain Marcela for a moment, then hit each other and instantly get beat.
2: Estrella gets a short run, but the rudas take over before Marcela gets in any offense. A few minutes of that until triple finishes the other way. Sugheit is way ahead of the other two (and Marcela is apparently the captain), so that ends it before the other holds count.
3: Seems like there's a (local) clip to start. Rudas are well organized, just not doing a lot worth nothing. They do dump each tecnica, one by one, in the center of the ring for all to stomp at once. Dalis starts the comeback with an springboard inverted plancha, stops to fix her pants, fix her hair and wait for Seductora to climb out of the way, then runs under a double clothesline. That was dropkick around. Dalis silla on Seductora almost goes awry. Princesas quickly turn the tables and finish.

Notes: Joined with the Tuareg all over the técnicos. Ref is Rodolfo Ruiz
1: and then clipped to the rudos being kicked around. Palacio Negro does the top flip moonsault to the outside on Arkangel, Metal Blanco dos his Asai onto Loco,a nd guess ho are left inside? Fuego backdrop on Dr. X, short arm scissors on him. Announcers count a pinfall? Dr. X's stomach is down.
2: Clip to this fall, a few seconds in progress. Loco beats up on Blanco, Blanco sends him out with a single slingshot armdrag, chases him out there, and gets in the Metálico apron headscissors. Loco's new full body outfit makes him look a bit porky. Palacio Negro flips, voluntarily and not, in with Arkangel. Arkangel gets a near fall of an springboard inverted plancha, another near one off the jumping back elbow, but is stopped by a side backbreaker of all things. Palacio dropkicks Arkangel out, rolls to the ropes, back flips over them to the floor, and gets a quebradora out there. Fuego and Dr. X exchange slaps as the announcers talk about twitter shoutouts. Fuego gets in a rope flip armdrag, but his sunset flip meets the Tuareg running in front stomps. Beatdown, Dr. X ripping up Fuego's mask in record time. Rudos keep the others out and beat up on Fuego alone. Corner clotheslines, finger pointing, and low blow dropkick before Fuego's let out. Arkangel puts on the arm triangle that's he's fond of this week, and that does Metal Blanco. Loco gets his submission, as does Dr. X after the fact.
3: Brawling beatdown. Fuego sidesteps an Arkangel to start the comeback. Back elbow for Loco, backbreaker for Arkangel, and Dr. X is last to find out. He does still mange to boot Fuego in the head and stomp him down, so paying attention must be overrated. Corner slap. Corner whip, reversed, Dr. X flips to the apron and gets dropkicked off. Fuego tope takes Dr. X out. Arkangel whips Palacio Negro to Metal Blanco in the corner, and Palacio is backdropped into a headstand. He stays in the headstand for 10 seconds, while Blanco kicks down Loco, waits for Arkangel to charge, and fireman slams him in positions. Rope flip moonsault, three. Blanco finishes Loco and that's it.
Match 3: Delta, Super Porky, Valiente vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Mephisto, Naito
Arena Mexico, 07/26/2011
rudos
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 14:41
Rating: OK
Notes: Entrances. Well, when a local break doesn't interrupt them. Naito has an entrance video? And a t-shirt! Naito uses his eye pose in new and interesting ways, I'll say that. Referee is Bestia Negra. Rey Bucanero has left the announcers to prepare for the next match.
1: Valiente and Naito battle on the mat energetically. Delta and Dragon Rojo are next, but not in for a few takedowns and armdrags. Mephisto draws Super Porky, and the crowd picks up here. Porky backs Mephisto into the corner on a lockup, but backs off. Mephisto does the same, but chops. Porky turns the crowd on Mephisto. Porky armdrag, and pose. Porky trips up Mephisto, bus misses the splash, and the rudos rush the ring. Delta takes a sunset flip reversal dropkick, and tries to roll out, but the rudos pull hm back for the pin. Corner clotheslines for Valiente, with Naito leaping off Dragon Rojo's back for a dropkick. Valiente also tries to roll out, but Mephisto lifts him up with a Devil's Wings, walks around in a complete circle, and drops him. Mephisto is strong!
2: General beatdown. Delta gets tossed around on the ramp, then takes corner charges. Porky sidesteps a corner charge to start the comeback, bumps the rudos all in, and the other técnicos whip him in for the huge sit. Poor Naito is front in line. Porky sets up for another, but the rudos skatter. Técnicos nifty handle it, Porky revers his whip to send Valiente running, right into the Valiente special. Slams, Delta moonsault onto Naito, Porky second rope splash on Dragon Rojo, that's it.
3: Mephisto slaps Porky around, Mephisto runs into hiptosses, Dragon Rojo and Mephisto are able to hold Porky up for a headlock/headscissors, Porky splashes them both. After some confusion, Dragon Rojo and Delta end up in – only for Mephisto to immediately cheap shot the técnico for the outside. Referee can't keep Mephisto out, but manages to argue Naito into not getting involved. Delta gets a headscissors/dropkick comeback on the other two, and does the back roll over the top rope into a headscissors on the floor on Mephisto. Valiente and Naito in! Dueling face slaps. Valiente with a corner to corner flipping run, then catches Naito with a dropkick to the knee on the run. Naito rolls around in pain, but slaps Valiente as he gets up. Naito hobbles as he knocks Valiente down. I'm so unused to selling that I'm not sure that's what this is, but since Naito's next move is his surging jumping forearm, I think he'll be OK. Corner whip, Valiente double jumps to the top rope, drops to the apron,and slingshots in with an armdrag. Mephisto in, corner whip, reversed, Valiente runs past Mephisto as he comes out, does the Dorada spin, and jumps off into a sort of armdrag. These things look like they're not quite right, but working out. Porky jumps off the apron to splat on Mephisto. Naito kicked down Valiente in the ring, Delta get him with a plancha, everyone runs, Valiente nearly collides into Delta Naito get him with an enziguri as Dragon Rojo rolls thru a Delta 'rana for one pin. Naito slams Valiente, tornillo moonsault, one two three.
Match 4: Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Texano vs Héctor Garza, Psicosis, Volador Jr.
Arena Mexico, 07/26/2011
TRT
Winner: Invasors (2-1)
Match Time: 11:53
Rating: fine
Notes: This won't go well. Ref is Pompin.
1: Rey Bucanero and Volador have issues before the match starts, then rush at each other while Garza is in. Wild brawl on the floor pulls everyone in, and almost takes out some fans in the process. Volador is the aggressor, but Bucanero battles back and blinds Volador by pulling his shirt over his head. Smart man. Suplex on the ramp while Doble T take out the other two in the ring. Flying sit to Volador's back. Corner clotheslines for Garza. Volador kicked around, then put in a tree of woe. Psicosis whipped in, and crotched around his partner's head. Triple frontcracker for Garza ends it.
2: Bucanero has punched Volador into the crowd again. TRT works over Psicosis in the ring while Volador and Garza are suddenly arguing on the outside. Volador is in no hurry to get in, but is at least trying. CLIP! Invasor are suddenly in control, with Psicosis tope-ing Bucanero into the front row. Garza sets up Texano, and Volador finishes the guillotine legdrop. Volador gets the pinfall even though he's right in the ropes. Backcracker on Terrible finishes him to, and everyone seems to be getting along.
La Comadante is sitting on the floor in pain over something we didn't see.
3: Replays show Psicosis & Hector Garza crotching Comandante on the post. That explains that. Back in the ring, Bucanero takes down Garza, taunts, stands over him for a while, whip, reversed, evasion, stop sign, pants off. Bucanero mocks Garza even before he can get his pants off. Garza slaps him for it. Garza wanders near the ropes, and Comandante pulls him into a kiss, then celebrates! Garza is confused, attacked from behind by Texano and Terrible. Garza takes care of them with headscissors, armdrags, and loud kicks. He's in full técnico mode here, and has words with Volador before they swap spots. Crowd behind Volador, and Bucanero threaten to walk. Back in, Volador flipping run and headscissors. Doble T put their heads down too soon, and Volador kicks them around. Nice fireman's escape headscissors by Volador, and Texano is kicked free of the ropes as often happens. Psicosis in last, but TRT has to huddle up first. Psicosis and Terrible appear to be going for a monkey flip just as the local break clicks in.
Back, and the Invasors are shoving around around Garza. Rey Bucanero and Texano line up behind Volador and Psicosis, Garza pushes them back, and the TRT duo get pins.
Replays show we misses Bucanero accidentally taking out Texano with his ramp dive, Garza landing the moonsault bodyblock on Terrible, and the Invasors breaking it up for reasons unknown.
