Match 1: Stuka Jr. vs Namajague in a lightning match
Arena Coliseo, 08/12/2012

Winner: Stuka
Match Time: 4:38
Rating: incomplete, eh
Notes: Referee is Bestia Negra

Stuka is hyper to get going and shoves Namajague from behind. Namajague can't believe the nerve of this guy. Lockup. Break. Dory Dixon is in the crowd, the announcers quickly note. Namajague shoots for takedown, but Stuka keeps getting away. Namajague gets a kick and a front facelock, but can't get any more and gets annoyed. Back up to the kick. Whip, reversed, Namajague slides out, hitting the ropes on the way out. Stuka takes a look and slides out after him. Stuka crawls back on the apron, but Namajague kicks him. Namajague walks in place, runs, and tope con giros Stuka. Replay shows Namajague really did not get much air on that. Both back in, Namajague stomps Stuka. Namajague takes off his rope belt and whips Stuka with it! Bestia Negra takes it away! No fair, how he's going to keep his pants up? Namajague covers, one two NO. Namajague smacks Stuka in the head. Crowd chants for El Stuka. Whip, hiptoss, Off the ropes, dropkick right on the side of the head. That one was well aimed. Namajague puts both feet on either side of Stuka's head, and twists. I've seen that, but not for a long time. One two NO. Chop fight, won by Namajague kicks and eyepoke (thru the visor!) Whip, Stuka clothesline misses as Namajague slides down, Stuka dropkicks him out anwyay. Stuka runs, tope sends Namajague bouncing off a front row fan and down in the aisle. Replay. Stuka in, but Namajague is slow up. Namajague crawls to the apron, hits the side of the ring, falls down, and the ref gets to 20! Stuka stomps Namajague as he comes back and picks him up, but Bestia Negra is trying to break it up the whole time. Stuka talks to him to try and talk him out of the finish, but Bestia Negra raise his arm anyway. Stuka is most unhappy to have won.

Namajague takes a look, and slowly faints on the mat. He's breathing very hard. Stuka argues about his win some more, than Namajague finally recovers to argue himself. Stuka kicks Namajague, and throws him out of the ring. Into the post! Namajague takes great bumps off the post, so Stuka runs him into another one. Bestia Negra tries to break it up, but Stuka won't be stopped – suplex on the ramp! Stuka poses, then walks into the crowd to give someone a hug. I have no idea. Replay of the count out. Announcers wonder if maybe Namajague didn't understand the count.

Arena Coliseo, 08/12/2012

  1. técnicos

  2. rudos
  3. técnicos

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 16:54
Rating: okay
Notes: Referee is Tiger Hispano. Marco has a jacket! I'm covering all the important details. Comandate is with the rudos.

1: Fantasma sends Scary Mask Tiger out with a single jumping snap mare. Porky is oddly wet. Escorpion is just shinny. Sumo spots go the way you'd think. Porky hiptosses Rey Escorpion a couple times and hipchecks him in the face. Marco and Terrible go punch vs open hand slap. Terrible wins via kick. Shoulderblocks knocks Marco over, and Terrible mocks his dance. Marco puts his head down too soon on the next whip, and Marco kicks it, then kicks him as he gets up. Terrible wipes out Fantasma and Porky on the apron, kicks at Marco again – and Marco ducks under and cradles him! One two three. Rudos were too surprised to break it up.

2: Fantasma headscissors Tiger out. Comandante grabs him, but Terrible slaps her by accident. Fantasma enziguris Terrible, and superkicks Escorpion off the apron. Fantasma runs for a tope, and the rudos run out of the way. Terrible and Comadante argue on the outside. Escorpion tries to break it apart, and convinces them to hug and yell at the fans. Tiger tries to go chop versus punch with Marco. It goes worse for him then it did Terrible. Tiger still nails Marco with a superkick as Marco charges at him. Stomps. Tiger backs up, charges, Marco flips him to the apron and punches off the apron, then pulls him back up and punches him off again, then pulls him back up and punches him off again, then punches Rey Escorpion! Harsh! Terrible wants no pat of him, so Marco does his dance to Tigre Hispano, who's not amused. Fans chant for Porky, so Escorpion just attacks him from behind. Rudos run over the técnicos for the beatdown. Kicks for everyone leading to a catapult hold/legdrop combo for the fall.

3: Escorpion tries biting Marco, as Miguel talks about hold versus hold. Rudos hold Marco for an inside thigh kick, leaving him unable to dance. Crowd reacts to something with Marco we don't see right away – Marco falls on a few girl's laps, and they grab on to him and try to keep Rey Escorpion away! Terrible knocks Porky out of the ring. Tiger holds Fantasma in the ropes for a running kick to the chest and keeps him there for a dropkick. Rudos keep working over Fantasma, but just him tag in Marco, and Marco kicks and punches Escorpion. Escorpion gets in one kick and brings in the rest of the rudos for Marco's leapfrog run. Plancha on the lesser rudos, who gets up and accidentally chop their captains. Rudos lean out of the ring and talk to Terrible, missing Fantasma running in behind them and landing a tope con giro on their captain. Other four in, rudos offense backfires, técnicos wrap it up easily.
