Match 1: Sangre Azteca vs Raziel in a lightning match
Arena Mexico, 12/30/2011
Winner: Sangre Azteca
Match Time: 6:36
Rating: eh
Notes: Referee is Bestia Negra. Traveling back in time for this one, for no apparent reason.
Mat wrestling and a Raziel near fall in the first minute. Sangre loses Raziel on a bow and arrow before he can get him up, and Raziel just switches to a hammerlock for a while. Sangre drop toe hold really goes nowhere. There's more counters when they’re back on their feet, with Sangre finally getting in a hiptoss. Raziel flips Sangre to the apron, slaps him in the stomach, trips him up, and sweeps him to the floor. That was smooth. Raziel goes up, does a tope con giro onto Sangre for fun. I mean, not a lot of other reasons to do it. Both loudly counted out, but Sangre makes it in first. Raziel shoulders him from the apron, and springboards in with a wheel kick. One two NO. C'mon Raziel, beat him before the weekly “he should be a rudo” conversation! Double underhook backbreaker gets two. Corner whip, reversed, Sangre misses a dropkick and flips around in the corner. Raziel goes for a monkey flip, Sangre tosses him off and slaps him. Sangre asks the crowd or one more, then monkey flips Raziel. Must be odd to be on the other side of that. Sangre waits for Raziel to get up so he can miss a clothesline. Raziel kicks, Sangre catches it, Dragon screen, and holding on for a pin. One two NO. Sangre armdrags Raziel around, but misses a dropkick. Raziel tries 'rana, Sangre sit down powerbomb one two NO. Sangre charges Raziel, Raziel sets him on the top rope, climbs up, Sangre shoves him away, Estacas Azteca miss – Raziel gets out of the way, then drops an elbow and covers for two. Raziel Driver! One two NO. Raziel Driver goes uncalled as the announcers are talking about Virus. Raziel going up, because he really doesn’t want to win this match. Raziel leaps into the counter dropkick. That's enough to win, but that's not enough. Inverted crucifix powerbomb, triangular de solar, that's it.

Notes: Monito is with Sagrado. Rey Escorpion has a new look. His face is painted up to look like Kratos from the God Of War video games, and he's got a new red/bronze chest plate. He and Warrior face off before the match. Match stats six minutes into this segment; if they cut out entrances, they'd easily be able to fit another match on this show. Referee is Maya.
1: Pólvora and Fantasma start, with a minimal round of mat work – headscissors out, quebradora out there. Sagrado & Vangelis don’t' last long. Rey Escorpion and Warrior are in next, with Escorpion mocking Warrior's dance right off the bat. Announcers remind us they were tag partners in the tournament. They look up and roll on the mat, with Warrior being a bit faster but momentarily distracted his headband falling off. Warrior tries to mess with Escorpion’s neat gear, but Escorpion’s not having it. Warrior spears Escorpion instead, and puts a forearm in his face. Escorpion tries a triangle, but Warrior turns free.

Escorpion corner whip, charge, Warrior moves and runs cross the ring to dropkick the other rudos while the técnicos pull Escorpion down. Sagrado & Fantasma in – topes out the other side. Warrior trips Escorpion, starts for the casita, then just rolls him over and hooks the leg for three.
2: Escorpion flips Warrior with a shoulderblock, which is enough to start the beatdown today. Fall doesn't last long, and Escorpion still hasn't changed his finisher. Looks better this week.
Pólvora grabs Monito. Sagrado and Fantasma desperately try to make the save, but are run off by Vangelis and Pólvora. Pólvora legs the monkey, who is able to roll to safety.
3: Fantasma is in briefly before Warrior is brought in again. Warrior almost immediately turns it around, dropping escorpión with a DDT as the other rudos are pulled out. Escorpion gets back up, and Fantasma knocks him out of the ring with the Phantom shoulderblock. Warrior out after him with a tope, almost driving them both over the rail. The front row people were sure they were getting hit. Fantasma kicks Vangelis down, but Pólvora cuts him off with a flapjack. Corner kneelifts, corner whip, Fantasma slide out, and Sagrado in with a – well, up and not over. Pólvora shoves him away, slaps him tin the corner, charge, and takes a swing kick off the apron.

Fireman’s drop, up springboard moonsault connects one two Rey Escorpion stops the count, then kicks Sagrado in the face. Warrior into face Escorpion, and Escorpion concerned. Off the ropes evidence, Warrior lands a wheel kick. Double underhook backbreaker doesn’t have much backbreaker in, and the other rudos are in. Lots of near falls being broken up here.

Escorpion runs, Warrior trips him onto the ropes awkwardly, 619, casita, Warrior lets go to kick Vangelis as he comes in, Escorpion casadora cradle with Vangelis helping hold, one two three.

Match Time: 7:00
Rating: ok
Notes: Comandante is with the rudos. Técnicos enter second and decide to wait outside the ring. Tiger and Rey tries to clothesline Rush as he comes in, but he ducks then and distracts brawling with Terrible. Bucanero and Tiger get the best of the other two, but Rush turns the tide back his way all by himself.

Diamante miss a dropkick on Bucanero, but tosses Dorada into a 'rana on him. Tiger very carefully leaps onto Diamante, who catches him, tosses him to his feet, ducks a clothesline, lifts him up, a and drops him with a German suplex. Ref blocked the camera shot, darn it.
2: Everyone back at their corners. Tiger and Azul in, which seems alike a bad matchup. Azul gets in a cartwheel and the Mega Man slide, but Tiger just kicks him in the head while he's down. Chop, headlock, shot off, Tiger waves him by, chop is blocked, and Diamante clothesline him. Loud kick to the head sends Tiger to the corner, and Diamante squashes him with the corner senton. Bucanero is able to kick Diamante once, but then takes the big monkey flip into the ropes. That wasn't meant to get the ropes, but there it went. Diamante monkey flips him right out. Terrible dropkicks Diamante back into his corner, so Rush tags himself in. BOOOOOs. Rush is all angry. Chop fight, won by Terrible slapping Rush in the face back and forth. Headlock, shot off, Rush shoulderblock and stomps. Terrible runs, right into a rush belly to belly suplex. Dropkick sends him out. Bucanero in, Bucanero superkicks. Headbutt for Tiger! Rush poses. Tiger and Dorada are equals, Tiger kick blocks a Dorada slap, then takes him down with a spinning toe kick. Whip, Dorada back with a Sling Blade. Bucanero in and eventually dropping Dorada with a sit down flapjack. Bucanero taunt. Bucanero tosses Dorada to the ramp, which is a poor idea - floating headscissors looks good. Bucanero out. Dorada poses on the middle rope, but only for Comandante to trip him up! Dorada about falls on his head before the rudo pull him out. Tiger in, and adding a tornillo. Diamante Azul rushes to the ramp – ramp tope con giro really only gets Dorada. Rush and Terrible in, both gesturing to the crowd. Terrible misses a dropkick, and Rush beats him with kicks and stomps. Rush stomps to pose on the second rope, and doesn’t pay a price surprisingly. Clothesline avoidance, Rush with the big back suplex, senton, one knee cover, one two Rush shoves the ref to stop the count! Rush starts to pick up Terrible, looks at the ref, and Terrible uppercuts fouls him. Low blow punch to be sure of it. Ref raises Rush’s arm, it's over.
TTT are satisfied with the outcome. Replays and they're done.
