Arena Mexico, 11/16/2012
rudos
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:03
Rating: eh/okay
Notes: Monito is with the técnicos. Zacarias is with Peste Negra in his Felino mask, Mije is with Avatar Volador. Referee is Maya.
1: Rudos sort of jump the técnicos, though Shocker is still just standing in his corner. Negro kicks and stomps Rush all the way up the apron, Volador helping out. Felino dropkick Mascara, and Shocker arrives just in time to be kicked from behind. Rudos rough up Shocker for a while, sopping him from making a tag. Felino headbutts Shocker in the head and headbutts him a little lower than that. Volador finally lets him shocker go free, and Máscara runs right into the Volador superkick/backcracker. Negro submits Rush at about the same time. Volador rudely shoves Shocker down after he tries to break up the pin.
Mije dropkick Monito while the rudos celebrate. Replays. Zacarias and Mije hold Monito up for a Volador superkick!
2: Felino chops Rush down, and Volador toss Mije on top. Volador drags Rush over the bottom rope for the Zacarias 619, though Rush briefly gets a hold of Zacarias. Volador breaks it up in time. Rudos hold Shocker for Negro to kick, but Shocker breaks free and kicks Negro down. Rush and and Mascara superkick the other two, then quickly beat them. These are some brief falls. Rush tried the double stomp, didn't get much of it, and added a senton to be sure.
3: Monito punches Mije until Volador breaks it up with another kick. Zacarias tries to fight Mascara, is goes as well as it ever does. Felino does hold up before kicking Zacarias, but Mascara does not. Rolling dropkick sends Felino out. Negro batters Mascara with kicks, only taking a moment to taunt Shocker. Negro puts his head down too soon, Mascara kicks Negro in the backside, then takes to long to add his superkick. Mascara headscissors Volador out and topes him. This match is just in a hurry, though the clock says we have a bit of time left. Rush is booed, yells a lot. Felino responds by stripping. Chop battle is won by Felino, because he's the only one who does any swinging. He also does a roll to celebrate, and Rush dropkick him. Rush does the invisible punt post too. Rush kicks and punches and elbow smashes Felino. Volador faces off with Rush, but stops that to pose in the corner. Volador tells Rush to try that, but Rush knows that and doesn’t have to. Shove leads to evasion leads to Rush powerslam. Volador crawls to tag in Negro, who dropkicks Rush into the ropes and chops and stops Rush into the corner. Negro starts to dance, and Rush turns it around with his own chops and stomps. Rush suplexes Negro, Felino breaks it up. Shocker and Volador end up in next, Volador flipping run still gets him armdragged and quebradora-ed (three times!) Negro breaks up that pin. Shocker blocks a clothesline with a kick and cradles Negro, but now it's Volador's turn to break up a pin. Negro reverses a suplex to a small package, and Rush breaks it up. Chop fight won by Negro eye poke. Jawbreaker, kicks to the chest, Negro poses, shocker takes him down for a hold, and Felino breaks I it up. Shocker fights back 1 on 2, with the help of the Casas brothers kicking each other. Volador and Mascara chop fight ends with mascara taking off his shirt but getting in superkicked anyway. Tope con giro bowls him over. Rush grabs Felino and gives him a sort of double underhook suplexes. Didn't look good, but Negro broke it up anyway. Rush dropkick Felino out, then runs for his own tope con giro. Shocker and Negro back in, and running around. Negro dropkick tot eh head, Shocker shoves him off, Negro clothesline turned into the reinera, and that's it. Volador just too late to break it up.
Shocker, Mascara and Monito struts after the match, only for Zacarias to dropkick Monito and get away before the técnicos can do anything.

Averno was losing titan on the swing, and it doesn't look as vicious as some of the Cometa/Puma ones, but Titan is immediately grabbing his right shoulder. (Not actually sure his right shoulder made contract.) Averno throws Titan into the barricade one more time to be suer, but Tirantes is out quick to check on Titan and calling a time out. Tirantes hurriedly calls the Doctor over to check on Titan. Averno yells at Tirantes for sopping the match, then takes matters into his own hands and throws Titan back in. Clip here?

Titan goes to climb the ropes to celebrate, but his arm gives out and he collapses on the mat. Tirantes raises Titan's bad arm, which is not helping at all! Averno pounds the mat in frustrating. He keeps missing clothesline and losing to flippy guys, story of his career. Crowd is pleased with the outcome. Averno shakes Titan's hand and puts the belt back on him. Mephisto gives Titan some of the money throw in the ring – or at least shows it to him, then throws it in the air.
