Rating: okay/good
Notes: Dragon Lee is the slowest guy walking to the ring. Pegasso & Rey Cometa still can't get an entrance video, though Cometa has a Queretaro jersey and one (left handed) glove. I wonder if Pegasso and Rey Cometa watch Queretaro vs Puebla games together, or if that would jeopardize their partnership. Signo can't get a video either, but I'll complain about it in a couple years. Referee is Maya, who is still being introduced as Casanova de Ciberspacio. Did he get lucky on match.com or something? So many questions.

1: Pairs are Pegasso/Raziel,

Raziel gets Pegasso in a bridging double chickenwing like hold, as he does. Pegasso front flips, then back flips out of a hiptoss, as he does. Nice exchange of tricky pinfalls between the two. Looks like Pegasso misses low on a springboard into a casadora, but Raziel so seamlessly turns it into a reverse rolling cradle that I'm not sure that wasn't the plan all along. Pegasso kicks out late (Raziel lets go late), and Maya gets to three. The luchadors are keep going, but Maya stops them and sends Pegasso out, eliminated. Serious! Pegasso is baffled and I'm not sure the rudos actually realize it's three on two. Pegasso stays on the apron, so he don't know. Dragon Lee and Cancerbero hop into get going, but that doesn't last long until Raziel sneaks in a kick. Someone's figured out this has sort of fallen apart, because Signo is sent over to grab Cometa while Raziel has a word with Maya about what just happened. Pegasso is still on the apron, but also trying to figure out what happened. That was a fair three count, anyway. Cancerbero gets Dragon lee with a big sit down faceslam, and the Cancerbero slowly sets up their double submission. Signo gets Cometa to give up first, and that's it. Dragon Lee still gets stretchered. Pegasso knows enough not to come in, but Signo runs over to kick him off the apron. That was a weird fall!

2: Rudos beatdown now. Pegasso watches Dragon Lee get beat up (double underhook backbreaker), but now he can actually come in and help. Or get beat up too. Double boot for him. Cometa awkwardly takes a double elbow and a double boot. Corner charges for Dragon Lee. Holding and hitting. I was expecting more than we're getting right now. Not sure if the first fall threw them off or what, but this is not a lot. Signo slaps Dragon lee down. Whip spot is all uncoordinated, Cancerbero still puts down Dragon Lee with a sidewalk slam. Cancerbero picks him back up for a slap, which seems unnecessary. Corner whip, charge, Dragon lee flips the much bigger man to the apron, but Cancerbero manages a stunner from there. Cancerbero goes up (???) but Cometa boots him off and to the floor. Signo kicks Dragon lee out, Cometa gets Signo with a top rope plancha, then climbs back up the ropes. Pegasso gets Signo with a flying headscissors, while Cometa instead goes out with a super tornillo on Cancerbero. Pegasso fireman's drops Dragon Lee in front of the corner, Dragon Lee shooting star press, Pegasso finishes Raziel.

3: Signo slaps down Dragon Lee, then stomps all over him. Dragon Lee back up, Signo punch misses, Dragon Lee 'rana. Dragon Lee chop, whip, reversed, Dragon lee flipping run, headscissors sends Signo out. Raziel surprises Dragon Lee with a clothesline, and celebrates it a bit too close to the técnicos corner. May has to separate Raziel and Cometa. Raziel punches Dragon Lee in the midsection. Corner whip, Dragon Lee runs up the ropes, back flips off, wristlock on Raziel, back up the ropes again, letting go and springing off into a headscissors on Raziel. Now it's Cancerbero's turn to flip Dragon Lee with a surprise clothesline. Whip, Dragon Lee springboards flips to the ramp, runs back to forearm Cancerbero, and then springboards back in for a headscissors that he only gets part of, but Cancerbero makes look good. Pose, and tag. Pegasso in, backspin headscissors for Raziel. Signo's turn to sneak attack, but he takes a flipping armdrag and a casadora armdrag (which doesn't go well but again the rudo makes look better.) Cometa's turn. Cancerbero offers a handshake, gets a slap to the chest. Cancerbero slaps back, and does goes Cometa. Off the ropes evasion, Cometa escape the fireman’s carry headscissors, handspring backflip headscissors, and out goes Cancerbero. Cometa backflip dive fake, and taunt to the rudos. Raziel demands to face Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee comes in, is attacked from behind. All three rudos in, Dragon Lee ducks a clothesline, springboard (barely) armdrags Signo out. Pegasso springboards in to get Cancerbero, but doesn't get much height either. Something wrong with the ropes? Bits lead to Pegasso boosting Dragon Lee out of the ring to a headscissors to Signo on the apron. Raziel sends Pegasso into a headscissors on Cancerbero, Cometa gets Raziel with a missile dropkick, Pegasso lands his turning tornillo on Cancerbero, Dragon Lee cross over the corner ropes for a tope con giro on Cancerbero. Signo misses a corner dropkick on Cometa, Cometa slaps him into position, top rope 450 hits hard. One two three.

Match 2: Atlantis ©, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Olímpico, Psicosis, Volador Jr. ©
Arena Mexico, 12/09/2011

  1. Invasors

  2. técnicos
  3. Invasors

Winner: Invasors (2-1)
Match Time: 7:15
Rating: okay
Notes: técnicos & Monito enter first, rudos attack them from behind. Invasors are going with red today. Tirantes is referee.

1: Atlantis eats the running superkick. Announcers are still calling this team “The Invasors (Olímpico & Psicosis) & Volador”, as if that's an important and visible distinction. Psicosis sets up Delta for the backcracker. Olímpico adds his springboard splash, though Delta almost wiggles out of position. Maya hang on the ropes, and actually flips off before Psicosis can really land his guillotine legdrop to the back of the head. Two man tapatias with Psicosis rips up the mask is enough to end it. Dragon Rojo is still mad at Atlantis.

2: two man powerbomb on Maya by the Invasors, while Volador beat up Atlantis on stage. Volador comes back in with his own springboard splash, thought the camera is caught by surprise. Rudos drag Atlantis around by the mask a bit. Volador grabs Monito, walks him to the center of the ring and superkicks him! So mean. Atlantis is kicked out. Double suplex for Maya. Rolled to his feet, whip, clothesline misses, and Delta springboard dropkicks them both. Atlantis quebradora on Volador. Other técnicos grab him, Volador breaks free, Atlantis lifts Volador up and the other two shove him out. Atlantis goes for a dive, but the other rudos pull him out. Non captains all in, técnicos break out new moves to finish. Atlantis chases Volador around the pins, which Tirantes has no problem counting. Técnicos go after the rudos mask before they escape. Atlantis' mask is noticeably completely untied.

3: Volador doesn't want to percolate, but strips off his shirt to deal with Atlantis. Off the ropes evasion, Volador lands the superkick. Announcers mention Shocker – well, JCR avoid mentioning his name, then JCC just says it and JCR goes with it – in the back story here. Volador charge into a monkey flip to the floor anyway. Olímpico rushes in, back elbowing and kicking Atlantis out of the ring. Olímpico dances, Delta tries to springboard in armdrag him, Olímpico has no idea, and Delta just sort of taps him on the back of the had on the way in. Olímpico sells it, so that's okay. Delta clotheslines him, Olímpico misses his own, Delta powerslam. Delta sets Olímpico in place, looks up to see Psicosis charging, and avoids his dropkick. Delta gets caught walk up the ropes for an armdrag, and only makes it to the second rope before trying. Headscissors – is blocked and turned into a powerbomb by Psicosis. Probably for the best. Seated dropkick while he's at it. Maya tries a dropkick, but Psicosis moves, and kicks Maya right in the face. That looked deadly. Crucifix lift, but Maya armdrag out. Rope flip escape, waved by, back with a springboard armdrag. Quebradora con giro. Both are looking at each other now, Maya dropkicks first, sending Psicosis out. Asia – no, rudos kick out the ropes from under Maya. Olímpico running quickly - tope take out Maya. Delta behind, tope takes out – Maya, because the rudos have fled. Maya gives Olímpico a quebradora, gives Psicosis a quebradora, gets Volador up in the Atlantis, but Tirantes turns and looks out to the crowd. Atlantis lets go to grab the ref, but the rudos grabs Atlantis mask and pile on top. One two three.

While Maya checks on Atlantis, Delta yells at the rudos and demands a title match. Delta's bottom half of him mask is ripped off at the bottom. Volador says they proved, one again, they're the better team, and doesn't get much farther before Atlantis gets his mask back on and charges. Both sides brawl, rudos taking all the tecnico's masks.

Match 3: Blue Panther & Rey Bucanero vs Felino & Negro Casas 
Arena Mexico, 12/09/2011

  1. Peste Negra

  2. Peste Negra

Winner: Peste Negra
Match Time: 5:27
Rating: not good, all angle
Notes: Ref is Maya. Felino is in much more a dancing mood this his brother. Bucanero rushes out and attacks Felino behind. Panther hits Negro before also going after Felino, so Bucanero rushes back and this Negro some more.

1: Técnicos (??) bring the brawl back to the ring, and Peste Negra get the better of it quickly. Negro square dropkick Bucanero in the corner, except Bucanero could bit be bailing out it more. Bucanero is still wearing the Texano TRT shirt. He had a lot of time, I'm sure. Rudos submit him. Double suplex on Panther is a bit iffy, but elbow drop finishes him.

2: Casas still kicking around the técnicos. Panther is beat into the crowd. Felino slide dropkicks Bucanero out of the ring. Técnicos are brought back in and whipped into each other. Panther sent out. Negro backdrops Felino into a pescado on Panther. Negro chops and kicks Bucanero, but Bucanero ducks a clothesline and drops him with Tormenta Bucanero. Two count. Casita, Negro rolls thru, casita of his own, Bucanero shoves him off, kicks to the midsection, Felino breaks up the Destroyer with a clothesline. Double armbar on Bucanero, he gives. Panther back in, but the rudos choke him. Panther manage to knee Negro, and Negro accidentally kicks his partner to send him out Panther and Negro swing at each other. Negro lands his spinning heel kick, but a follow up kick is caught in the ropes. Panther shakes him loose, ducks a clothesline, and pulls him into a sit down piledriver. Negro is out, and Panther seems dazed. Maya can't believe it. Felino charges Panther, Panther sets him up for a tombstone, but Maya breaks that up. Maya makes the piledriver motion, and raises Felino’s arm. Announcers bring up Love Machine.

Panther goes after Felino as the doctor checks on Negro Casas, who hasn't moved. Panther is trying to rip up Negro's gear, and Bucanero is kind of lurking behind him. Eventually, he pulls Panther off. Bucanero goes to hit Negro on the stretcher, but Maya breaks that up. Rudos go after Felino again. Nergo is still out as he's taken to the back. Replays. Panther stands over Felino, stopping on him with the boot and yelling at him over the microphone. Felino appeals to the commission over what just happened to Negro.
