Match Time: 11:35
Rating: good!
Notes: No entrances, an awkward jump into the match. Dragon Lee is hyped as a disciple of Bruce Lee; Bruce Lee died 20 years before Dragon Lee was born. Tigre Hispano is ref. Monito is with the técnicos. Misterioso is the only one who seems like he could be wearing a special outfit for occasion

Dragon Lee manages a couple of roll ups on Misterioso, then Misterioso dives his head into the mat on a split legged faceslam. Dragon Lee kicks out at two, but rolls out. Stuka in after a delay, flipping run for him. Rudos bumble around. Euforia out, Misterioso manages to armdrag Stuka out, but takes a springboards planchas from Dragon Lee off the ropes, Euforia trips him out and pulls him out, Misterioso goes for a dive, Stuka pulls him out.

Stuka goes back in, fireman slams Euforia and heads up. Torpedo plancha to the floor, and Stuka holds him there for a Monito apron splash. Dragon Lee back in, springboard 'rana blocked, but Dragon Lee turns the powerbomb into a Toyota roll, one two three. Tigre Hispano counts Misterioso out, Misterioso tells him to count faster, but it's fast enough. Crowd shot here, low to the ground.
Viernes Tapatios plug.
CMLL Cartela: Dr. Morales is taking care of it this week, hyping Sunday in Arena Coliseo.
2: Misterioso slaps down Dragon Lee repeatedly. His arm may weight more than Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee comes back with a 'rana. Flipping run lands well, is booed. Back spin headscissors sends Misterioso out, but Euforia flattens Dragon Lee again with another headscissors. Back elbow for Stuka too. Whip, Dragon Lee runs up the ropes and front flips outside. Running forearm for Euforia as he lands over the ropes, and a walk up the ropes headscissors. Crowd turned around a bit bay that, but the boos still come in late. Dragon Lee off the ropes, Euforia tosses him to the ramp, and Lee headscissors Misterioso on the way down. Stuka sends Euforia out, flying headscissors for him too. Everyone up by the ramp, with Tigre Hispano joining them instead of counting them out. Euforia grabs his knee, but gets up and kicks Misterioso when trying for Stuka. Stuka shoulder slams Euforia in front of one of the video screen, while Dragon has Misterioso is by the other. Stuka and Dragon Lee go up in only a slightly hurry, set up, and moonsault the rudos. That was absurdly set up but looked like a big deal. Stuka runs Misterioso back to the ring and raises his own arms. Misterioso dropped in front of the corner, Dragon Lee SSP – misses, Misterioso rolling into avoid it. Dragon Lee get sup and runs into the Gori Special. Euforia gets – a modified cruz nipona, I guess. Legs involved tying the arm and such.

Stuka back in, and Dragon Lee jumps this Stuka's chest, where Stuka holds him for a crazy moonsault over the ropes and too the floor. Misterioso back in – springboard headscissors is easily turned into a powerbomb, one two NO. What are you thinking, Misterioso? Stuka rallies the crowd, who's come around for the técnicos.

Match 2: Máximo vs Felino, Rey Bucanero, Rush, Texano, Blue Panther, Negro Casas, Terrible in a cibernetico match
Arena Mexico, 09/16/2011
Máximo Kiss Of Death Texano (2:36)
Winner: Rey Bucanero
Match Time: 11:30
Rating: ok
Notes: Team are Máximo, Blue Panther, Terrible, Rey Bucanero vs Felino, Negro Casas, Texano and Rush. They're only shown briefly, never actually said. Aguila and Garza have better things to do. Ref in the ring is Pompin, with Babe Richard and Rodolfo on the outside.
As everyone else sorts themselves out, Bucanero charges Felino. Bucanero takes him down and punches, but getting up to taunt means he ends up taking armdrags and is dropkicked out. Felino goes for a dive, and Panther helps out accidentally with a backdrop to set up the pescado. Negro in, and crowd happy to see Negro and Panther match it up. Panther gets the better of the brawl, Panther shoves him away and charges, Negro flips Panther to the apron and heel kicks him off. Panther doesn't stop, puling Negro out, and the two brawl out on the floor. Panther trips Negro out, and Bucanero takes advantage to get in a couple free stomps.
Terrible gets the better of Rush at first, misses a corner charge, and is superkicked out. Rush lands the top con giro. Máximo and Texano in, Máximo quickly with a reverse rolling cradle, one two NO. Máximo bump, off the ropes, and tripped up – by Bucanero, we're told, though we can't see it and Bucanero's on Maximo's team. Still on Texano’s team I guess. Texano cradles, gets two. Máximo 'rana, one two NO. Panther gets in a shot from Texano on the outside, Texano chops him hard, Texano turns around, Máximo kiss cradle one two three.
Rush lurks behind Maximo as he celebrates, then slaps him and yells at him. Hard shove. Máximo is all scared, and the crowd boos. Chop. Máximo is shocked. Replay of Texano's elimination from a couple angles, so we're missing plenty of action. Or Rush/Máximo, I guess. Rush shoulderblock, Máximo bounces and dropkick him out, tope sends Rush over the first row. Felino beats Panther to the corner, corner whip, Panther sidesteps a charge and inside cradles, Felino rolls thru, avoidance, Felino fast clothesline and faster dropkick. One two NO. Felino clothesline turns into a fujiwara – Negro rushes over to attack Terrible on the apron, then elbow drops Panther. Casas with a double armbar – and Panther gives.
Replays. Negro puts Bucanero in a hold, but Terrible steps in to break that up with a chop. Felino lads chants for Negro. Cut to Felino and Panther having a standoff on the apron, with Rush getting involved for whatever reason. Felino and Panther back down Rush, but Rush runs back in the ring to face off with Terrible. Negro and Panther are now brawling on the ramp, but Babe Richard forces Panther to the back. Back in the ring, Terrible and Rush have a chop off, with Rush' partner slapping him to fire him off. Crowd is not impressed by Rush's chops. Terrible is not either, and punches Rush in the side of the head. Headlock, shot off (not really, Rush blows that somehow), Terrible shoulderblock, but Rush won't go down. Another wild flurry of chops breaks out, but Terrible slaps Rush around the head for a while. Rush grapples and takes down Terrible, but can’t do more then grab his face. Bucanero breaks that up with a dropkick. Terrible scream. Corner whip, corner clothesline, Terrible lifts Rush on his shoulders, and drops him in the center of the ring. Zach is now on the ramp watching. Terrible top rope senton con giro misses everyone, Rush senton doesn’t look good, fans boo, one two NO. Terrible clothesline misses, Rush running elbow smash knocks Terrible back into the ropes, Rush runs again, 'rana turned into a powerbomb, Terrible puts a foot on the middle rope, one two Pompin spot it. Terrible argues the point, doesn't get far. Rush this Terrible in the back. This sequence lasting a while. Corner whip, Terrible corner sunset flip, Rush reverses and grabs the bottom rope, Negro pushes it towards him with his foot, one two three.
Bucanero is too late to break it up, but just in time attack both Peste members on the apron. Rush still manages to reverse the corner whip and clothesline Bucanero in the corner. Fireman's drop, Rush stomps Bucanero once, poses and tells Máximo to move out of the way as he poses. Replay, back in time to see Rush miss the top rope senton con giro. Bucanero lays on top, punches Rush a few times, Pompin tells him to stop so he can count, one two three. Huh. That was odd.
Negro slaps a scared Máximo around the chest for a while. Whip avoidance, Máximo back with an armdrag, block everything chop to the head. Felino stop Máximo with a kick. Chop, corner whip, corner bodypress, chop there. That looks weird. Whip, double duck down spot oops, Felino dropkick, inverted figure four, Máximo is done. Bucanero immediately splashes Felino, one two NO. Felino corner whip, Felino corner clothesline, bodyslam, and Felino heads up. Top rope elbow drop, but Bucanero’s long gone. Bucanero covers one two three. Bucanero's new finishing move - “move out of the way of a top rope move and cover” - is flawless. Bucanero calls for Negro to come in, but he's no hurry to do so. Shot of a half empty and mostly bored looking crowd, though they’ve been reacting to this match. Chest slap fight, Negro off the ropes, dropkick to the knee, casita, Bucanero rolls thru to inside cradle with a foot on the ropes, one two kickout. Bucanero yells at the crowd. Bucanero kicks to the chest, Negro isn’t quite fast enough to grab on even though he's trying. Bucanero turns to taunt to the crowd, and Negro picks a leg and trips him up. Half crab, no, Negro gives up on that before he gets it going, Bucanero back up, Negro slap, Bucanero jab to the midsection, powerbomb one two NO. Negro waves his finger no to the ref, completely fine. Zach is trying to get Felino to stop laying down and do something. Bucanero kick, sit down powerbomb again, Felino runs in, off the ropes, kick to the face. Felino stomps Bucanero down, Pompin tries to get him off, and finally raises Bucanero's arm.
Negro seems briefly annoyed, but then lets Felino go back to beating up Bucanero before joining in himself. Headbutts! Pompin tries to stomp it, but Babe Richard and Rodolfo take a look and just walk off. Fine work if you can get it. Terrible and Texano shove past them on the way to the ring, and attack Felino and Negro Casas. Bucanero recovers immediately, and rushes up the ramp to grab Zacarias before he can get away. Zach is dumped in the ring – giant swing, kick to the head for him. TRT leave Peste Negra laying.
Next Week: Ray is the only one hyped by name. How odd.
Announcers wrap up from the announce booth, where's there's not enough room to sit everyone. They talk about both matches, so I guess this was done after the second one. They haven't really indicated these happened on different days, though it's evident.
