Previously: Mascarita Dorada turned up. El Consejo attacked Cibernético, but also the rudos when they tried to attack them. Perro and Jack fought a lot.
Today: In Couzmel, four matches.
Four sided ring. This looks like a spot show based on the (very limited lighting), not a TV taping. You can't see much outside the ring, and the ring itself has plenty of shadows. I don't know what exactly is going on opposite the camera, but it looks like we're staring into half empty bleachers. The crowd is much more full elsewhere, so maybe I'm just misunderstanding. This is an outdoor arena with a metal roof hanging over the ring, the ringside area, and maybe some of the close seats. It appears to be raining; the roof should protect the ring, but the wind could still be blowing it in. There's occasionally shots from a camera who's lens is partially covered in droplets. There are travel commercials for Cozumel between the matches, as if this show was sponsored by the local tourist council. (Maybe it was?)
Match 1: Fabi Apache & Mascarita Dorada vs Mini Histeria & Sexy Star
Arena Miguel Canto Solis, Cozumel, Quinta Roo, 02/03/2012
Winner: rudos
Match Time: 10:57
Rating: disappointing, useless
Notes: Sexi Star has her title. Dorada still has the Imperial March. Referee is Copetes. It takes a while for Copetes to get someone to blow the whistle to start the match, and Sexi uses that as her cue to take a microphone and complain about the fans. Técnicos are half hearted about asking her to leave. Ready to start now? Fabi finally kicks Sexi in the backside to get it started. Copetes blocks her off from more, and Mini Histeria takes out both técnicos by himself. Whistle blows again in here.
Announcers discuss Consejo invading AAA's offices, but also say they're not supposed to talk about that. Rudos control with weak brawling and chokes, focusing on Dorada and keeping Fabi away for a while. Sexi finds much joy in grabbing parts of Dorada and bending them around the ropes. Tecnicas come back with a drop toe hold/619 combo on Histeria. Sexi runs, Copetes bails her out again and everyone's sent to their corners. Dorada's offensive run with Histeria goes fine, and ends with a double rotation headscissors. Sexi stalls some more before facing Fabi, then Copetes and Histeria bail her out again. Fabi's offense looks great with Histeria, she gets in one kick on Sexi, and Copetes pulls her down by her hair. Histeria dropkick Fabi out and follows with a tope. Dorada teases dive – no, we're getting a camera covered by raindrops – and Copetes cuts him off. Histeria comes back in, cradles him, one two NO. Crowd shot. Back to the wet camera – Dark Dragon is watching this? - Dorada casadora cradle, Copetes slow count. I can barely stand to watch this, not sure why he can. Either it's raining or they can't be bothered to clean off the camera. Dorada gets the satellite armbar, Sexi distracts Copetes (why bother?), Dragon smacks Dorada with a chair (why?) and Histeria adds a completely unnecessary Michinoku Driver before Sexi steps on top for the pin.
Match 2: Cibernético, Daga, Fenix vs Dark Dragon, Dizzy, La Parka
Arena Miguel Canto Solis, Cozumel, Quinta Roo, 02/03/2012
Winner: técnicos
Match Time: 14:04
Rating: not good
Notes: Dizzy! How incredibly unlikely to see you. There's got to be a 90% chance Dizzy works on the ring crew or in production somehow but brings his gear just in case they're on a tropical island and they have no else to fill in. Jesus does welcome him back to TV. Dizzy has camouflage gear, as if we didn't have enough trouble spotting him to begin with. La Parka has an EVIL dancer who appears to be one of the Reina del Reinas. I wonder what Daga did with his Rocco gear? I wonder why he has Limp Bizkit in 2012. Cibernético gets last entrance and walks down the stairs sideways, as always. Piero is ref.
Rudos jump the técnicos. Dizzy is rapidly doing middle rope Michinoku Drivers on Fenix, so he's clearly spent his time away working on the fundamentals. That is not the finish. Daga fights off Dizzy so Dark Dragon can give him an out of control looking gut wretch superplex. Fenix takes a way over sell spinning flip on an easy back elbow. I already know how this one goes for him, but that was a sign. Rudos hold Cibernético for Parka to hit, then hit themselves. Cibernético sidesteps a corner whip, double clothesline for the lesser guy, low speed spear on Parka. Daga does a top rope senton into a tope spot, and the camera can't keep up with him at all. Parka slaps around Fenix at ringside, and gets in the face of a Sin Cara masked kid, who's not at all scared of him. Parka keeps coming back to scare him, and the kid is not scared. Parka goes for the mask, can’t get the mask. That was so sad. Everyone back to their corners.
Daga gets his offense in on both Dark Dragon and Dizzy, and actually looks a lot more impressive with the second guy. Shining Wizard spot ends his bit. Fenix is headscissors and kick focused, though his headscissors are not as well timed as much. He and Dragon do a moonsault slam on the floor, and Dragon looks to wrench his back on the landing. La Parka is shocked to find Cibernético in the ring with him. Cibernético telegraphs every move he's going to do five seconds ahead of time, even when they’re misses. Parka gives him the double #1 and bails. Lesser rudos in, so Cibernético can clothesline them for a second time. Rudos regroup on the outside before the técnicos go for a second time thru the lineup. Daga set sup Fenix for a walking up the ropes enziguri on Dizzy, who stay standing on the apron does Daga can kick him too. Dragon knocks down Daga, Fenix nearly kills himself on a off Dragon's shoulders moonsault onto Dizzy. He was way short because he slipped and he didn't really have his hands up to block the apron, almost eating it with his chin. Dragon seems to freak out, and I'm not sure how much that is the plan. Dark Dragon DDTs Dragon on the apron, which looks mistimed. Parka and Cibernético have a punch battle, Parka winning. Whip, reversed, Cibernético hiptoss. Cibernético clothesline. Scoop, seated bodyslam. Kick, stunner, Parka taking a huge bump. Other rudos back in and kicking Cibernético, who rolls out. This match ha reached an end, but it's not ending. Daga lifts Dizzy on his shoulders, Fenix jumps off Dizzy to a 'rana on Dragon, almost coming up short of that too. Daga does some move on Dizzy we don’t see, doesn't matter since it's all kickouts. Daga Dragon screw on Dizzy. Crowd shot cuts something out. Daga kip up dropkick sends Dragon out. Fenix runs up the ropes, turns, and slips doing a tornillo moonsault to the floor. It is not working tonight and he’s doesn’t want to stop, but unfortunately he has to stop now because Dragon couldn't break his fall at all and Fenix have fell on top of him instead. Dizzy powerslams Daga, moonsault tornillo quebrada misses, Daga brainbuster, bridging chinlock, Dizzy gives.
Daga helps Fenix back in the ring – just to make it easier for the rudos to destroy them all. Cibernético returns to clothesline the rudos for a third time. He stares down Parka for long enough to allow the rudos to recover, and they attack him from behind. Parka beats Cibernético with a strap, then does the same with Fenix. Escoria carefully runs to the ring with a chair. Shot for Dragon, chair tossed to Dizzy and a spin kick for him. Parka bails, and Escoria checks on the técnicos. Fenix is hurting or doing a lot selling. Parka watches from the ramp under an umbrella.

LA Park's fines may ruin everything! Konnan wants Jarrett not to worry about that, Jarrett tells Konnan not to worry about Dixie Carter or Sting or LA Park
Consejo is not in Couzmel – because they invaded AAA's office, wearing masks of Wagner (Mascara Año 2000), Elegido (Texano) and Octagon (Toscano). They find the voice over studio and invite themselves to take over, despite the production crew's displeasure. Mascara has 1/10th the charisma of his partners here. Toscano and Texano take care of NotiAAA, with Toscano's new friend – Octagon mask puppet. The Octagon mask has more charisma than Mascara Año 2000 Jr. This goes for a while, with Mascara intimidating the AAA crew into including this footage on the show. They don't enjoy Wagner slapping Toscano. Toscano as Octagon: “Vamos! Los Policia!” Hmm.
Consejo wander out past Heavy Metal, Electroshock and (on a balcony watching) Marisela Pena. Police is indeed in the background, but the door is locked and El Consejo can't get out. Metal decides to attack – 2 on 3 does not work, but the police do yank El Consejo out of the building and put them in their car.

Match 3: Extreme Tiger & Jack Evans vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Halloween
Arena Miguel Canto Solis, Cozumel, Quinta Roo, 02/03/2012
Winner: rudos
Match Time: 11:46
Rating: ok
Notes: Jesus really wants Jack to dance when he gets in the ring, but Perro and Halloween are sort of waiting to hit him. Jack backs them off before spinning. Perro tells Jack he's proven he's superior and Jack's just not on his level, just a bit lucky. Tonight’s the last time Jack gets to wrestle Perro. Jack yells “si se puede!” Rudos jump the técnicos. Referee is Copetes. Perro's got a hair cut, hmmm.
Jack is thrown out, then almost over the rail on a kick. Perro scares the crowd into moving, but doesn't thrown Jack in. Halloween is messing about with Tiger and a chair. He stops to go pose in the corner, and slips and falls down. That kind of night. At least it allows Halloween to threaten to walk out, his favorite part of every match. Perro brings Jack in, sits him in the chair, and Halloween spears Jack. Perro goes after Jack's head for a bit. General beating, técnicos whipped in to each other and the like. Seems like maybe clip to cut to Halloween holding Perro away from going after the crowd. Rudos whip Tiger to Jack, who puts his partner on the top rope and fights them both off with kicks and elbows. Tiger gets Halloween with an iffy flying DDT. Jack on Perro with mounted punches as Tiger slide out after Halloween. Break.
Técnico showcases, Halloween doing a lot of the work. Tiger first, then Jack. Perro and Jack edge Halloween out of the way so they can punch it out, with Perro getting the better of it and stomping Jack on the mat. Perro taunts the “si se puede” chants, allowing Jack to come back with a seriousness of kicks. Jack goes for more punches, and Halloween makes the save. Copetes keeps Tiger out. Jack rallies back against Halloween, knocking him down with a springbaord double knee to the face, dragging him to the corner, and landing a 630 senton. Copetes runs around before counting, but Perro is breaking the pin anyway. Perro loads up Jack on the top rope and goes for what might be a top rope stunner, but Tiger stops him and pulls him on his shoulders. Jack jumps off Perro's back into a – kick? On Halloween, Not sure if that was the plan. Jack does a tope con giro on Halloween, while Tiger breezes Perro with a rope flip moonsault. Halloween is up and right there to break it up, while Jack has walked all the way around the ring for no reason. Perro gets up smiling. Técnicos come back in for stereo spots, leading to seated dropkicks. Halloween immediately recovers to spear Tiger, and Perro dropkicks Jack in the other corner. Halloween goes up, Tiger slaps him and goes up with him, off the top rope 'rana looked very dangerous from other angle but Halloween is right up and rolling out. Tiger kicks Perro as he charges him, flip kicks him in the corner, charges again, gets flipped to the apron, chops Perro down, and Asai moonsaults Halloween. Halloween is totally dead. Wait, Halloween is alive enough to throw in a chair. Halloween is now totally dead again. Great. Jack and Perro swing at each other, Perro kicks Jack and goes for the chair. Swing, miss, Jack kicks Perro, chair shot to the back. DDT on (or near) the chair, backslide, with bridging pin one two three. Copetes was totally fair there.
Jesus talks about a powerbomb. I have no idea. Perro argue the count. Jack goes into the crowd to hug children and sign autographs.
Match 4: El Mesías & Zorro vs Héctor Garza & LA Park
Arena Miguel Canto Solis, Cozumel, Quinta Roo, 02/03/2012
Winner: técnicos
Match Time: 22:22
Rating: eh
Notes: LA Park has his belt and taunts small children on the way to the ring. New music? Referee is Piero.
This match starts with the CMLL bit of a técnico putting a rudo in a hold, and another rudo running into break it up repeatedly. LA Park is the one running in, but Zorro does a lot better job of running him off than the CMLL técnicos do, chasing Park to the outside and posting him. Just like CMLL, the third time starts the rudo beatdown. Extended holding and hitting beatdown, highlighted by both rudos doing jumping jack at different points. Técnicos make a comeback off a rudo goofups, sets up sunset flip, rudos punch to block them, and then just stand there. About five seconds later, they just pick up Zorro and he resumes the comeback. That was random. Rudos are both knocked out of the ring, técnicos both go for dives, and neither goes well – Mesías doesn’t really get caught by Park, and Zorro this the ropes ton the way thru and comes up a little short of Garza. Técnico showcase includes Park flying around a lot for Mesías (and not so much Garza), and lots of weird edits which must be for questionable content. Garza and Park hit each other more than they hit the técnicos. Zorro gets Park in a time killing hold, Mesías planchas Garza, Garza misses a clothesline, Garza fouls him. Piero is looking the wrong way, then looks that way and Park fouls Zorro too. Both cover, one two no. Rudos complain about a slow count and they have a point. Mesías immediately turns whip into a short clothesline, while something with Parka and Zorro seems to go wrong just off screen. Park ends up on top, but Zorro struggles to his feet, blocks a kick, elbows Park in the head, bounces off the ropes, and kicks Park out. Zorro takes him time setting up, and then lands a tope con giro on Park. Garza and Mesías, now hurting again, left in. Garza gets his trunks pulled and Mesías front crackers him, but then rolls out for no reason. Mesías brings in a wood panel – Piero's taken away the cane from both teams, but he's allowing this. Garza evades himself into taking a spear into the wood panel, which break but not where it’s supposed to. Meanwhile, Park is shoving random ringside people. Announcers are talking about fines, so this must be part of that storyline. Cameraman is chased around until Konnan turns up to put a stop to it. Is this match still going? Park and Konnan have a discussion about the fines and the cruel cameraman. Joaquin Roldan is in the ring – seriously, is this match still going? - to announce more fines for attacking the production people and remind us that Konnan is responsible for paying. Park confronts Joaquin and shoves him. Oh, Zorro's sneaking in the ring, he's going to inside cradle Park, isn't he? La park grabs Joaquin by the lapels, Zorro waits, waits, cane shot, flatliner, one two three.
IMMEDIATE CUT to more Joaquin talking about the fine. That's what we're here for. Now they can play Zorro's music. Konnan and LA Park almost come to blows about the fines. Park does shove Konnan and walk off.
