Arena Mexico, 04/05/2013
Winner: técnicos
Match Time: 14:17
Rating: ok
Notes: Mije is with Olímpico, but does not do the Olímpico dance. Monito is with the técnicos. Referee is Maya.
1: Pairs are Puma/Maya, Olímpico/Panther
Puma and Maya aren't in long by opening segment standards. Panther gets a big crowd chant, a quick hold on Olímpico, and a rude break up by Vangelis. Vangelis sticks in, but ends up with a middle rope headscissors. Puma is able to knock Panther down and tries to keep out help, but Delta flips him to safety and charges. Puma asks for a timeout, and Delta just shoves him, but doesn’t take advantage. Evasion, Delta rolls into the dropkick to the butt, técnicos break up the pin. Técnicos whip Puma to a Delta quebradora, Vangelis tries to hit everyone, Maya dropkicks him out. Olímpico in and dropkicked too, then Panther whipped into a tope on this fellow captain. Other four in, and the técnicos quickly finish up, almost ending up on top of each other. Delta does victory roll to set up his new tapatía variation.
2: All six in the ring at first, but the rudos send Delta & Maya out and all stomp down Panther. Delta is hiptossed back in and dropkicked in the face. Puma tries to beg off, but Maya boots him in the face before he can do it. Puma slips up in what looks like a low blow, but it's not called. Puma suplexes Maya then picks him back up and ends him into a Vangelis spinebuster. Catapult hold, Olímpico springboard frogsplash one two three.
Puma batters panther with chops and kicks. Superkick sets up Panther for the Vangelis northern lights suplex for the win.
3: Vangelis slams Panther on the ramp, while Puma goes after delta's mask. Maya storms in goes for Puma's mask, but Olímpico hits him and goes for Maya's mask. Olímpico and Vangelis pulls Maya off and boot him out. Delta thrown out and swung into the barricade by Puma. Olímpico clotheslines Panther, then dances to block Maya from being able to make a tag. Olímpico drops Panther in the rudo corner for Mije's low blow headbutt. Puma swings Maya into the barricade. Maybe doing that too much. That leaves Vangelis in alone with panther, which somehow does not immediately end in a fujiwara armbar. Disallowed tag, check. Maya and Delta spend a lot of energy arguing with Maya over things, while Olímpico holds Panther in the ring for a while. Puma goes after Panther's left arm, then puts his head down too soon. Panther hits him, reaches for the tag, and gets stopped short. Maya rushes in to hit Puma anyway, but Puma just keeps going. Panther finally makes a tag to Delta, but Delta's stomped down before he does more than clothesline Puma once. Delta does make the comeback, ducking a double clothesline, quebradora-ing for Olímpico, missed elbow drops by the other, and a Maya top rope splash one everyone. Tecnicos all cover, rudos all roll them off before three. Cradles all around, two counts all around. Ring clears out to Delta and Puma, where Puma wins a chop fight by kicks. Evasion, Delta around the back inverted headscissors. Vangelis stops Delta with a back elbow and covers him for zero, but brings him too close to the técnico cover and Maya tags in. Heel kick, whip, Maya hiptoss, Delta boost one foot dropkick, Maya comes for two. Maya and Vangelis reverse whips, running up the ropes armdrag, a backdrop for Vangelis. Panther in a tag, double running tope by the técnicos, and off the shoulders splash. Panther covers, but the rudos break it up. Delta protest to the referee, not that's helped at all this match. Olimpico's left in with Panther, Panther blocks a headscissors and holds Olímpico as if for a martinete, and Puma breaks that up with a shove. Delta springboard dropkicks Olímpico out, tries for a torito on Puma, Puma shoves him off, but throws himself out on a chase. Vangelis in, Delta walks him around by the arm, then whips him to the técnico corner. Delta flipped to the apron, just off the way of panther, knocks Vangelis away, and flies out with a moonsault onto Puma. Maya in with with a plancha, on Vangelis, evades and trips Vangelis thru the rope the ropes to the outside. Maya runs – tope con giro into the crowd! People might have gotten hurt on that one. Delta and security quickly pull Maya back over the barricade. Back inside, Panther easily submits Olímpico for the win. That was a sudden end.
Match 2: Ángel de Oro, Diamante Azul ©, Stuka Jr. vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpión ©
Arena Mexico, 04/05/2013
Winner: Revolucinarios (2-1)
Match Time: 16:22
Rating: ok/good
Notes: Revolucionarios enter as a group. Pólvora appears to have bought new gear! It has green in it like the rest of his team and everything. Referee is Babe Richard.
1: Dragon Rojo and Stuka are evenly matched, but Rojo gets in a shot and brings in Pólvora to help. That works until the rudos whip Stuka towards the técnicos, Azul flips Stuka to the apron, kicks Azul away, and Angel takes over for him. Angel gets in his flipping run, but Pólvora just shoves him out. Pólvora goes for a dive, and runs into a Diamante Azul instead. Polvora's partners tell him to keep trying, but Polvora's chest slaps have no affect. Azul's shoulderblock knocks Pólvora over. Polvora's hiptoss is reversed into an Azul slam, and things are not going well for Pólvora here. Azul presses Pólvora, and Escorpion breaks that up (where Pólvora still has a bad landing. Escorpion is still happy with himself, brings Azul over to the rudos and they all whip him into the ropes. Double press slam into Polvora's feet doesn't doesn't look good, because Azul lands on his feet and just kind points his chin into Polvora's feet. Angel de Oro springboard armdrags Pólvora out, and gets waved into a tope con giro on that rudo. Stuka and Azul in, rudos mange to kick them down in opposite corner, and Rojo lands the low blow dropkick on Azul. Rojo up top and adding a double stomp on Azul while Escorpion powerbombs Stuka for the other pin.
2: Rudos remain in charge. Triple boot for Angel de Oro. Dragon Rojo chops Stuka down and Pólvora dropkicks him out. Azul sunset flip reversed into a dropkick. Oro is walked to the ramp and tossed back in for Dragon Rojo's missile dropkick, which sure seems to miss on the camera angle shown. Stuka is held over the top buckle for a Escorpion boosted sit. Azul reverses a sunset flip and Rojo takes a double dropkick to turn it around. Rudos wait for a beat while Angel de Oro sets up for his springboard plancha, then Pólvora slips while trying to catch him and this match is looking very sloppy all the sudden. They cover it while Angel de Oro chops, then ducks a clothesline and barely connects a boost dropkick on Pólvora. Duck, kip up, superkick bit works better. Dragon Rojo ends up in the path of Stuka's monkey flip top con giro from Azul while Azul ramp dives onto Pólvora. Oh, right, they were trios champs. Angel de Oro submits Escorpion to end it. Stuka stands on Escorpion chest while getting his arm raised and tries for more, but Escorpion slides out.
3: Escorpion takes an Azul quebradora. Oro and Pólvora evade, and Angel de Oro rolls backwards into a helicopter headscissors, then follows with a headscissors to the floor. Azul takes another turn to give Escorpion the giant armdrag, superkick Rojo, and dropkick Pólvora in the knee. Escorpion recovers enough to miss a corner charge and set up a monkey flip. Stuka baits Dragon Rojo into a dropkick on Pólvora, throws Dragon Rojo out too, and gets cut down by a Rey Escorpion clothesline before he can reveal his plan. I assume he had one, not so sure. Escorpion kicks Stuka down and takes a monkey flip to the floor, putting all the rudos on the same time. Tecnicos follow with a big triple dive. Oro and Rojo make it back in, and fight among themselves in the corner for a bit. Rojo ends up on the apron, smashing Oro into the buckle and double stomping his back. Rojo tells the crowd what for before struggling to apply a half crab, and Stuka breaks that up. Angel de Oro does the Angel de Oro sequence for a near fall, Pólvora breaking it up. Pólvora gives Angel de Oro the Pólvora Driver, but Azul pulls him of the pin by his throat, then turns a Pólvora plancha into a big spinning slam. Escorpion breaks that pinfall up. Escorpion's big move is a tirabuzón, which seems dumb, but it allow him to pull Azul as his shield when Stuka kicks at him. Stuka is not too concerned, does manage to backdrop Rey Escorpion. Escorpion battles back to flip Stuka to the apron and chop him off, but pulls up on a dive – Stuka's gone around the corner, and Dragon Rojo is waiting for him with his ramp dropkick. Oro in, Escorpion sidesteps his dropkick, corner whip, Azul flips Oro to the apron, then puts a charging Polvora on the top rope. Bad idea. Escorpion kicks Azul and gives him the Aguijon Mortal, while Angel de Oro climbs the top rope right in position for the Super Pólvora Driver. Pinfalls all around.
