Match 1: Freesbe & Robin vs Cholo & Zayco
Arena Mexico, 11/20/2012
técnicos
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 13:56
Rating: eh
Notes: Referee is Bestia Negra.
1: Pairs are Zayco/Robin and Freesbe/Cholo. Cholo's rolling armdrags look nice, and theres a lot of armdrags by them both. Zayco and Robin come back in for Zayco to slap Robin around. Zayco tries a tapatía, Freesbe breaks it up with a sunset flip, and that's enough for the pin. Where was Cholo? Cholo does come in to take a quebrada and a submission for the fall.
2: Freesbe gets a run off offense. The final spot, a flying armdrag to the outside, goes awry when Cholo forgets what move is coming and doesn't go over for the armdrag at all. Poor Freesbe crashes and burns (right into a gif.) Cholo pretends like he meant for that to happen and rudos take it over, winning the fall not long after. No spin on the Zayclone.
3: Beatdown goes on. Very kicky and punchy. Cholo gives Robin a low blow dropkick, because not enough people are doing that spot. Replay makes it look more inner thigh, and maybe that's the actual idea? Corner clothesline and corner double knee lift for Robin. Zayco misses a corner charge on Fresbee and takes the knee bump out to start the comeback. It doesn’t go long before Zayco is pulling Fresbee out and into the barricade. Robin and Cholo are clumsily together, but Cholo gets his headscissors armbar for a submission. Zayco tosses Freesbe off his shoulder, Zayco adds an elbow drop and covers – but the ref stops counting because Fresbee's shoulder is slightly up. Zayco finishes it and this one is over. Zayco goes after Robin's leg a bit after the match.
Match 2: Camaleón, Höruz, Molotov © vs Bobby Zavala ©, Disturbio, Inquisidor
Arena Mexico, 11/20/2012
técnicos
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: ?
Rating: ok
Notes: Referee is Maya. Big news: Inquisidor has new pants.
1: Camaleón and Inquisidor start off on the mat, and work to armdrags and zero covers over the course of three minutes I'll never get back. Disturbio is a mood to scream a lot, which only reminds me that Dalis hasn't been around a lot lately. I have no complaints. Slow armdrags. Inquisidor accidentally pulls Distubrio's hair from the outside (leaning on the ropes at the wrong time), and Disturbio decides that's his time to leave. Höruz breaks out a run up the corner rope flip armdrag on Zavala. Inquisidor hangs Höruz on the middle rope for a dropkick, Camaleón headscissors him, Disturbio flapjacks and leg lariats Camaleón, Molotov - wait, no, Disturbio drops Molotov behind his back for a faceslam, breaking the rhythm. Quick tag to Bobby Zavala for a top rope splash, and that's the fall.
Höruz tells us not miss the show.
Nonviolence PSA.
2: Zavala gives Höruz a big backdrop and sliding dropkick. Rest of the rudos get in their shots against the rest of the técnicos, but they're not too interested. Rudos nearly get counted in for a group stomp down on Camaleón, but get out in time. Inquisidor gives Molotov a good uppercut and a poor clothesline. All three rudos come together to beat up Höruz, he backflips out of a double clothesline and clears room for a Camaleón ramp running springboard armdrag on Inquisidor. Molotov planchas the other two, who toss him off into an armdrag. Molotov casadora small package on Zavala finishes it.
3: Molotov throws Inquisidor around, including corner to corner on a monkey flip and a middle rope headscissors when Inquisidor gets smart to those. Höruz/Disturbio evasion ends with a jumping shoulderblock from the técnico. He follows with a wristlock, then a triple bounce backflip off the top rope to the apron. I have no idea why he did that, but it looked good. Rudos hit each other, which takes a lot less flipping. Höruz runs up the ropes and springboards to the opposite one for an armdrag to finish that off. Höruz poses, derisively so. Zavala decides to attack everyone, and since it's this crew of técnicos, that goes fine. Camaleón fights back with spinning and a push off headscissors. Flipping armdrag sends Bobby out. Inquisidor runs Camaleón from corner to corner for a clothesline, and the rudos pull off a boost casadora frontcracker to finish him.
Höruz dropkicks a celebrating Inquisidor, and captures Disturbio in a half straight jacket legsweep cradle to tie it up.
Zavala shoulderblocks Höruz right out of the ring. Molotov planchas the rudo, casadora cradle gets two and only that. Zavala small package is also only goo fod for two. Zavala's kick is caught, Molotov step over legdrop, inverted surfboard cradle finishes it up.
Match 3: Diamante, Fuego, Sagrado vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Sangre Azteca, Skándalo
Arena Mexico, 11/20/2012
tecnicos
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 14:06
Rating: ok
Notes: Referee is Bestia Negra. Isis is with the rudos.
1: Pairs are Diamante/Arkangel, Fuego/Skandalo, Sagrado/Sangre. The last goes only seconds, but manages to include Sangre taking a big tope, almost fly over the barricade, and then decide better of it. Fuego's quebrada is actually enough to knock Arkangel over, though he still get the pin with a 'rana. Announcers are impressed by Diamante's fisherman's suplex.
2: Sagrado and Skandalo confuse each other on a corner spot, though I'm not sure why anyone should be trying to kip out of the corner with Skándalo in the ring. Sangre rudely breaks up a Sagrado pinfall, then pleasantly asks for a handshake from Diamante. Diamante messes with Sangre, and Sangre rightly chops him. Diamante comes back to headscissors Sangre out, then scare him on the outside. Rudos randomly take over on Fuego, Skándalo allowed freed entry to help Arkangel put Fuego in a tapatía, then dropkick him off it. Arkangel's rolling back elbow sends Fuego out, and Arkangel follows with his pescado. Diamante evades Sangre and takes out Arkangel with a tope con giro. Sangre wheel kicks Sagrado to stop him from going out, and does his own top rope plancha. Sangre and Skándalo back in, Sagrado whips Skándalo in the corner and charges in, and that ends up with the Skándalo Driver as always. Sangre's head seems less protected than usual on that.
3: Rudos take over the fall, though more gradually and not so dramatically. Sangre makes so much sense with these other two, given their shared love of legal low blows. Sangre gives one dropkick to Sangre and one dropkick to Fuego in short time. Arkangel sets up Fuego for Skandalo's low blow dropkick, then holds Diamante for a Skándalo low blow elbow drop. Sagrado slips thru the ropes on a corner charge start the comeback, coming back in with a springboard silla on Skándalo. Arkangel turns over the pin with a kick for a two count, but Sagrado gives Skándalo a quebradora on the next pass and the rudos have to break it up again. Fuego springboard dropkicks Sangre for two. Sangre misses a corner clothesline and takes a monkey flip for two, Arkangel making the save. Fuego armdrags Arkangel, and his leap over armdrag on Skándalo goes better then the last time I saw it. Tope takes out Skándalo. Diamante submits Arkangel to a arm trap half crab, though I'm not sure Arkangel knows they're doing that at first.
Sangre flips Diamante into the apron, Diamante leaps back into Sangre's dropkick for a pin.
Sangre charges Sagrado, Sagrado drops him with a side Devil's Wings for the deciding pinfall.
Skándalo grabs his left shoulder after the match, and is strechered out.
Match 4: Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Valiente vs Felino, Negro Casas, Puma
Arena Mexico, 11/20/2012
rudos
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 13:14
Rating: good
Notes: Karla has caught onto the “Puma King is now Puma” thing, though the rest of the crew has not. Referee is Maya. Zacarias is with the Casas family.
1: Delta and Felino start off okay on the mat, but Delta is all thrown when Felino stinks him. Maya strikes a weird pose before fighting Puma, and then they go on to be very good together, almost having the first two minutes of what would be an exciting lightning match. A series of dropkicks sends Puma. Negro and Valiente have a good chop battle that Negro wins by kick. Valiente looks slim, even for bodybuilding contest Valiente. He ducks a clothesline and springboard armdrags Casas out, others kick him out. Delta plancahs them both and gets booted into a slow developing sit down powerbomb. Felino breaks out a crucifix powerbomb for the first time in a long time to defeat Maya.
Puma and Zacarias have a handshake/pose bit! After the break, Zacarias is fooling around with the edecan, and Puma slaps him in the back of the head to get him back to paying attention.
2: Zac19 on Delta, though Delta still manages to knock him off the apron. Puma randomly tries to rip up Maya's mask, and Maya desperately to tags in Puma. Puma switches to kissing Vailente's boot, then surprising him with a kick. Delta is sent into the corner and superkicked. Maya gets tripped up and dropkicked by Puma. I think the older rudos are content to let Puma do the work here. They come into whip Maya, Maya ducks their clothesline and dropkicks Puma out of the ring. Negro slaps Felino out by mistake, Delta forearms Negro, Delta and Negro talk and run out opposite ways – tope con giro one way, tope on the other. Valiente and Negro left in, Valiente escapes Negro's casita and put on one of his own for the win. Valiente taunts Negro! Or maybe he just wants to punch him.
3: Delta showcase leads up to the roll over the top rope headscissors on Felino. Puma superkicks the gum out of Maya's mouth. Maya comes back with a flurry of armdrags. Zacarias tries to fight Valiente. Felino puts up more of a fight than usual, but Felino gives in. Valiente sells for Zacarias, because Valiente is a great man. Kick in the backside sends the bird on his way. Valiente bails a bit on a double jump armdrag, but still gets the armdrag part in at the end. Negro takes a crazy tumble to the floor, and Valiente topes him lighter than usual. Maya plancha Puma, but Felino throws him out. Delta dropkick Puma, and turns a top rope powerbomb in to a 'rana for a pin. Maya wraps up Puma for the other pin.
Valiente chases Zacarias to the back. Replay shows Valiente hit the ropes pretty hard on the way thru, which explains why the top was not the killer one.

Match 5: Euforia, Niebla Roja, Último Guerrero © vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpión ©
Arena Mexico, 11/20/2012
Guerreros
Escorpions
Winner: Guerreros
Match Time: 10:44
Rating: good
Notes: Team Rey Escorpion all has personalized sombreros and revolutionary costumer gear, including guns and swords. They're still wearing their old gear; Pólvora probably needs to switch from the Cancerbero look if he's not one of them. Guerreros enter together, and the two teams brawl on the ramp. Referee is Tirantes, who just stands in the ring and watches it happen.
1: Escorpions get the better part of the brawl at first and bring into the ring, where everyone gets knocked out of it in turn. Niebla Rojo is the first o really get in a run, top rope splashing Escorpion and turning a whip into a headscissors on Pólvora. The other rudos fail to knock Roja out and take a missile dropkick from Euforia. Roja topes Pólvora, Euforia trips up Escorpion, and puts him in on an Indian Deathlock, and UG feeds Dragon Rojo over so Euforia can put on a Gori Stretch too. UG puts on a camel clutch on Scorpion for the complete win.
2: Escorpions again are in control as the match resumes, throwing around Roja and Euforia at ringside and working over their former leader in the ring. Big spinebuster, and thru the ropes dropkick to knock Guerrero to the floor. Roja is tossed into Dragon Rojo's missile dropkick, which connects with one foot. It'd be great if they could get a move he could actually do. It's still enough for the pinfall here. Euforia is lifted up for the Super Pólvora Driver, and that does it for the fall. It looks impressive with a guy Euforia's size.
3: Escoprions beat up Guerreros outside the ring. UG's escapes a corner charge and double clotheslines the lesser members of the opposition. Quebradora for Escorpion too. Euforia tagged in, but clotheslined by Escorpion, but manages to monkey flip him all the way to the floor moments later. Rojo knocks down Euforia, and clotheslines him from corner to corner, then rips at his mask. Euforia comes back with a kick an a powerslam, then goes for Dragon Roja's mask. Pólvora breaks it up with a dropkick. Euforia slide out on a whip to give Niebla Roja a chance. Pólvora have a fierce punching battle that leaves them both dazed. Roja shoves a running Pólvora into the ropes, but his shoulderblock has no effect on Pólvora. Roja wallops Pólvora on his flapjack kick and goes for the mask. They trade more kicks, then Pólvora gets in his own flapjack and takes his turn putting on a mask. The two exchange turnbuckle smashes, Niebla Roja getting in his last so he can add his backflip heel kick. Escorpion rush Niebla Roja out, UG boosts Euforia into a dropkick to send them out, then monkey flips him into a tope con giro on both. Euforia stands Dragon Rojo & Escorpion up, Ultimo Guerrero breaks out a slingshot tope con giro onto the pile. Wow. Roja and Pólvora back in, crowd chanting for Niebla. Springboard plancha by Roja connects, Roja goes for his finish, Pólvora fights free, Pólvora kick, up Roja up for the Pólvora driver but fighting it, Pólvora drops Roja back down on his feet and just straight foul kicks him. Pólvora goes for the cover anyway, but that's not going to work.. Match to the Guerreors, but the Escorpions are happy with how it turned out.
UG checks on Niebla Roja, but Pólvora sneaks in and rips off Roja's mask. Pólvora gets the microphone and demands the crowd to quiet, then makes fun of Niebla Roja. Pólvora says says he's shown he's better than Roja, better than Euforia, better than Ultimo Guerrero! I see Pólvora is supposed to be insane. Pólvora yells at Roja and leaves. Roja yells at Pólvora for joining that trio and declares him his maximum rival. Roja asks the crowd if they want to see a match between them, and that's enough for Pólvora to come back and knock the shirt off Roja's face. The other Guerreros are pretty passive here, but they stop Escorpion and Rojo from joining in at first. Pólvora distracts them enough for his friends to get in stomps and before leaving.
Announcers note the show reaching five years. Hooray for them.
