Match 1: Fabi Apache, Lolita, Mascarita Dorada vs Mari Apache, Mini Psicosis, Sexy Star
Arena Neza, 04/06/2012

Winner: técnicos
Match Time: 7:40
Rating: good
Notes: Entrance is a walk down the arena stairs and a short ramp. Psicosis and Sexi have their titles. Mari Apache doesn't want to slap anyone's hand on the way to the ring, but gets in yelling and pointing and yelling at Fabi. Fabi just slightly shakes her head. Referee is Copetes, making a rare TV taping appearance.

Dorada & Psicosis are in briefly and don't get very far. Fabi calls Mari in next. Mari takes her down and puts on a fight four, then rolls it over into a STF, nicely. Fabi escape to an armbar, escapes Mari's armdrag, and hiptosses her away. Sexi is trying to be friends with Mari, Mari's mostly ignoring her. Armdrag back and forth, poses, and Sexi runs into dropkick Fabi in the back before running back out. Fabi attacks Mari, rudos rush back in, and attack everyone. Mari kicks Fabi about the head. Sexi star bodyslams and legs Dorada. Mari crutches Lolita with a corner clothesline. Sexi jumps off the middle rope for a fist, then a double knee to the back, and a buttwipe. Lolita waves her hand in front of her face, so we know how much that stinks. Sexi shoulderblocks Fabi from behind to run her into Mari, then helps stretches her around the ropes. Psicosis slams Fabi, Mari tells him to position her better, Psicosis does not understand, so Fabi just moves herself. Mari top rope senton con giro lands. Rudos kick around Dorada, but he escapes a corner charge to start the comeback. Sexi kicks Psicosis by mistake, and Dorada headscissors Mari. Fabi gets Mari with a running tornado DT as Lolita takes care of Sexi with a quebrada. AAA puts up this long text for Monday's taping in Leon, but it's unreadable small.

Técnicas rally in the ring. Mari takes off Fabi's head with a clothesline. Hair yanking. Whip, reversed, Fabi armdrag, Fabi off the ropes, headscissors on Mari. Mari stops that by kicking Fabi right in the face. Sexi leans in the ring to taunt Fabi. Corner whip, Fabi goes to the middle rope and headscissors her sister out. Roll and pose as Mari recovers on the outside. Crowd shot. Dorada and Psicosis seems joined in progress, but maybe just the dead space in between was moved. Dorada sends Psicosis to the ropes with a casadora armdrag. Then follows with a springboard reverse tope at a low Angel. Dorada hops to the outside, hops up the ropes, and knocks Psicosis over with a – I don't know, maybe a shoulderblock. Didn't not look right. Psicosis gets next to the ramp anyway, and Dorada pulls off a springboard headscissors there. All four women in, técnicas whipped at each other but spin each other around. Lolita missed a dropkick on Sexi, but Fabi catches Mari in a jumping arm scissors, right into the cross armbreaker. Sexi stops stomping Lolita long enough to that that up. Sexi grabs Fabi, Mari kicks, Fabi moves, and Sexi gets it. Sexi is more angry than hurt, and Mari apologizes. They turn, just in time to be headscissored and armdrag out. Rudas go out, técnicas apron dive after them – a silla by Lolita, a headscissors by Fabi. Dorada backdrops Psicosis back in the ring, then springboards in for a splash, but Psicosis has long moved out of the way. Psicosis sits on top for the pin, but only gets two. Whip, Dorada double rotation headscissors into an armdrag into hammerlock/armscissors cradle, one two three.

Sexi offers a handshake to Mari and tried to make nice with her, but Mari's more interested in yelling at Fabi. Mari comes back in, Fabi slaps her in the face, Mari slips her back, and the rest of the reams have to keep them apart.

Match 2: Atomic Boy, Relampago, Súper Fly vs Ángel Mortal, Gallego, Tito Santana 
Arena Neza, 04/06/2012

Winner: técnicos
Match Time: 8:57
Rating: eh
Notes: Ref is Piero. Joined in progress due to local editing.

Rudos are already in control and knocking people around. Atomic Boy is sent out side as they join, then Relampago is chopped out of the ring. Rudos stop Super Fly and bring a chair in. Piero holds Atomic Boy Back from interesting as the rudos give Super Fly a triple facebuster on a chair. Rudos seem to try to backdrop Atomic Boy on the hair, but can't the landing. Powerbomb works pretty well. Relampago's whipped in to a chair shot. Atomic Boy is whipped into a kick, which does about the same, Atomic Boy turns around, Angel Mortal's sent into the kick instead then Atomic Boy dropkicks him out. Rudos miss a double clothesline on him and are springboard dropkicked by the others. Técnicos run, but all tease dives because the rudos hide around the corner. There's not much room between the ring and the barricade here, maybe five feet.

Tito and Super Fly in as the match settles down. Both pose, and Tito dropkicks Super Fly. Super Fly flips to his feet, and awkwardly runs into a Tito grab. Tito has to try corner whipping him twice to get one to work, and Tito follows with a clothesline. Chop is blocked, Tito grabs the arm, slaps Tito, points up, walks up the corner and flips off with an armdrag. Super Fly flips and poses. Atomic Boy in. Angel Mortal in. Angel Mortal out. Tito in! Atomic Boy gets him with a rope bounce headscissors, a rebound armdrag, and a thru the ropes fake, causing Tito to fly out and hit the barricade for the second time in a minute. Mortal and Atomic Boy exchange chops, Mortal goes to forearms, headlocks, shot off, clothesline, Atomic Boy doing the Dragon Lee way too soon flip bump. Atomic Boy comes back with a springboard headscissors, and off the shoulders armdrag. Gallego in last, and Atomic Boy gets his legs caught going for something. Headscissors sends Gallego out. Atomic runs around the ropes, Silver King dive doesn’t really hit, and Gallego shoves him into the barricade on the way down. Announcers seems unaware that didn’t actually work. Other four in, técnicos whipped into another and chopped. Rudos whip them back to the corners, and the técnicos flip out over the rudos, though Relampago takes a lot more time than Super Fly. Tito's lured into dropkicking Mortal. They regroup, and it sure looks like Super Fly is supposed to boost Relampago into a dropkick on both of them. For some reason (Super Fly not pointed the right way? Relampago weird?) Relampago stalls, then runs up to Super Fly, runs back to the ropes, and runs back the other way to miss a kick between the rudos. Everyone confused now. Relampago chops Angel Mortal lightly to allow him to walk backwards and fall out, and Super Fly sends out Tito thru the ropes. Super Fly lands his dive on Tito, with not much room to spare, and Relampago goes the run up the ropes plancha onto Angel Mortal. Atomic Boy in, hesitating before ducking a clothesline, then losing Gallego on a cradle but leaning back over to cover him anyway, one two no. Atomic Boy off the ropes, Gallego powerslam, up for an elbow drop, one two NO. Gallego couldn’t decide if that was a kickout or if he was just stopping covering on his own. Atomic Boy off the ropes, into a wheel kick. Gallego fired up. Double underhook backbreaker Gallego. Gallego to the middle rope – moonsault misses! Atomic Boy up to his shoulders, headscissors cradle one two three.

Rudos attack the other técnicos as Atomic Boy is celebrating, then hit him. Chair to Relampago’s head. He gets his hangs up, but looks to hurt his wrists. Triple press lam on the chair. Replays.

Match 3: Cuervo, Joe Lider, Ozz vs Dark Dragon, Octagón, Último Gladiador
Arena Neza, 04/06/2012

Winner: técnicos
Match Time: 7:51
Rating: ok
Notes: Octagon, Dark Dragon and Hijo de Tirantes enter together. Ozz holds up a woman's Ozz poster and she briefly loses her mind.

Ozz gets in one hold, and the rudos charge him for the beatdown. Técnicos are quickly beat out of the ring. Lider's chucked to the ramp. Dark Dragon does the Sangre Azteca dropkick to Ozz. Cuervo's whipped into Octagon's sticks. Lider and Dragon do a bit where Lider has to pick up Dragon so Dragon can headscissors piledriver him. It looked a lot choreographed. Slam and Gladiador legdrop for Ozz. Rudos all stomp Cuervo for a bit. Cuervo gets in a sunset flip on Gladiador and rolls him back for the rudos kicks. Announcers manage to note the comeback in between plugs for everything else. Técnicos clear the ring with individual moves. Gladiador and Lider start of alone. Lider dropkicks Gladiador in the corner, nods a bit, and charge in to miss and hit the turnbuckle hard. UG comes back, Lider puts him on top, Lider slaps him and yells, and Gladiador takes him out with a top rope front cracker. Lider sells it like he's been murdered, then pops to his feet fine when UG climbs up again. Death is a temporary condition. UG and Lider work hard to set up a hanging frontcracker, which does not seem like all the effort. Octagon sneaks in, miss a clothesline, and Lider dropkicks him it the knee. Dropkick to the chest sends him out. Noticeable clip here, to Ozz dropkicking Dragon off the apron. Octagón tries the Jarocha on Ozz, and Ozz just moves out of the way. Announcers are shocked. Ozz armdrag Octagon around and dropkicks him out. Gladiador misses a dropkick in the corner and falls on his head. Técnicos are a bit horrible. Gladiador gets up, but soon takes a big DDT from Cuervo. I hope that mask is padded. Evasion, dropkick to send Gladiador out, and a tope thru the ropes to smack him into the barricade. Octagon gets that armdrag on Lider, who need to learn from Ozz. Lider still kicks Octagon as he charge, then slowly gets Octagón into a hold. Meanwhile, Dark Dragon dropkicks Ozz a couple times and drops him with a pumphandle powerbomb. Lider and Octagon still hold off in the corner, and Ozz drops Dark Dragon with the Ozz Driver. One two three.

Nicho runs in and attacks. For the second match in a row, the rudos beat up the técnicos after the técnicos won. Nicho has a staple gun, and staples Lider in the head twice. You can't really tell what's being done, but the announcers go crazy over it. Lider does start to bleed, which makes it work. Rudos hold the Perros t-shirt in front of Lider's head so Nicho can staple it to his head many more times. Konnan out to help pose. Dark Dragon is shown on a stretcher for about two seconds. They seem reluctant to zoom in to close to show the blood. Rudos keep the doctor away for a while. Nicho gets in a few more staples.

Match 4: Drago, Fenix, Heavy Metal vs Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano Jr., Toscano 
Arena Neza, 04/06/2012

Winner: rudos 
Match Time: 14:39
Rating: ok
Notes: Hombre en Negro is with his men. Fenix backflip out of the corner when his name is announced, and almost takes out Toscano on the landing. They shove a bit. Rudos are much more fearful of Drago's nunchuck bit. Heavy Metal is wearing sunglasses indoors, which he always kind of does, but also appears to have Imperial Solider baseball cap on. Do not give Heavy Metal your child, fan! Piero is ref. Jesus calls the técnico team “Nueva Sangre”, which is only true if Heavy Metal has had all the blood drained from him and replaced with the fresh stuff. Can't rule it out!

Crowd chants loudly for Heavy, so he pushed Piero out of the way to pose in the corner. Metal and Máscara lockup, with Mascara throwing Metal in the corner a couple times, and Metal sneaking in an inside cradle the second time. Mascara starts to circle, but Metal tells him to stop and go back to where he was standing. OK. Mascara does a muscle pose, Metal shoulderblocks Mascara, hits the ropes, and just stops, because Mascara is still standing. Metal shrugs, frustrated, walks to a different set of ropes, and the shoulderblock again has no effect. Metal walks to the ropes, waves support from the crowd, and Dragon flies in with a sunset flip on Mascara. That caught Piero by surprise, and he watched the pin for a second before starting to count. Dragon and Máscara exchange shrugs, and Máscara knocks Drago over with a brutal (aesthetically) clothesline. Armdrags by Mascara. Drago comes back with a couple of snap mares and spine kicks. Drago yells to the crowd for more, who do not exactly yell back. Mascara kicks Drago away and Toscano comes flying in with an armdrag. Toscano low effort kick is turned into waistlock, Drago in front with a snap mare. Back up, Drago punch to the head, leglock. Toscano shoves him away, Fenix just happen to be in to flip him to the apron, two man dance to set up a corner whip, Fenix charges in. Toscano flips him to the apron, Fenix back elbows Texano and chops Fenix. Toscano slowly collapses from that one. Fenix fights off Toscano, flips back in the ring, and armdrag and charging Texano. Texano is able to take Fenix down, but he pulls off the multiple kip up bit. Texano armdrags him, Fenix armdrag him back, then gets in a headscissors from the mat. Zero count trips, both roll to their feet, Fenix poses, and is lucky Texano doesn't kick him in the head. Metal kicks at Texano from the outside. Fenix stands talking to Texano, and the rest of Consejo do attack him from behind. Brawling beatdown. Rudos find a new way to do a three man powerbomb, on Heavy Metal. Fenix takes a big backdrop out to the ramp. Drago's whipped from the apron back in. Rudos have lost track of Metal, so when Texano comes back in to kick Drago, Metal slips in, ducks his punch, and punches him Texano stumbles turns around, and Mascara accidentally boost Fenix into a dropkick on Texano. Drago in with a flying headscissors on Mascara, Toscano punches Drago, Metal slowly walks towards him. They face off for a bit. Open hand chop fight. Metal off the ropes, no, he has the ropes, Toscano runs over and hiptosses him out, but Metal drags Toscano with him. Texano kicks Metal from behind. Mascara and Fenix in. Mascara more interested in posing than fighting, so Fenix mocks him. Corner whip, revered, Máscara misses a charge, Fenix with a running yelling kick. Toscano in, Fenix turns a kick into a lifts, and rams Toscano into the corner back first. That looked pretty harsh, Fenix ran a long way to speed up. Texano walks in and superkicks Fenix in the face. Off the ropes, Fenix flips him to the ramp, Texano lands on his feet, Fenix chops him away, gathers speed, almost blows the springboard, but still gets the headscissors. Texano almost kicks a kid in the head while spinning around, there’s no space at the side of the rap. Fenix backs up, runs again, and fakes a dive – I guess he's not really going to dive onto the ramp, but he is going to flip a bit. Técnicos raise his arms.

Drago and Toscano, Toscano making fun of Drago's tongue. Dragon flip out of a waistlock and pulls down Toscano by his hair. Texano rushes in and kicks down Drago, and both pound the técnico a bit. Drago comes back with armdrags on both. Mascara in, Drago just have to evade him a bit and land an enziguri with help from Fenix. Dive fake pose for him. Crowd mildly loud for Metal. Toscano strips. Metal faints in mocking fashion, and Toscano just whips him with his belt. Smart! Heavy pops up and punches Toscano, who didn’t manage to get the shorts off. Metal rips them off and throws them into the crowd (where Black Terry Jr. retrieves them.) Metal miss a corner charge and takes the knee bump out. Toscano carefully topes him. Really no room here. Dragon eaves Mascara for a bit, gets shoulderblocks anyway, and Máscara throws himself out thru the ropes. Drago tope con giro lands him about tailbone on the barricade, which could not be fun. Fenix and Texano left in. Chop fight, when Fenix answering back with a zen of them. Texano off the ropes, leg lariat one two no. Texano stands up arguing with the ref. Texano backs Fenix up into the corner and slaps him. Corner whip, Fenix springboard kick to the head. Hombre en Negro up on the apron. Fenix picks up Toscano, spots him, and takes his hat off with a kick to the face. Fenix goes back to Texano, waistlock, Fenix switch they walk to the ropes, Texano heel kick misses by a mile, Fenix lifts him up and runs him into the buckle. Standing moonsault, Fenix covers, but stops covering when Hombre en Negro gets in. Negro backs off. Fenix goes up top, and dropkicks Negro off the apron. Texano waits for Fenix to turn around, and knocks his head off with a clothesline. I don't know where the other técnicos have gone, but they’re not here. Mascara lifts up Fenix for a powerbomb, and Texano adds in a backcracker. One two three.

Hombre en Negro beats Fenix with the cane. Rudos pose on Consejo. Técnicos return form the abyss to protect him after a while.
