EMLL
Taped Arena Coliseo, D.F.



Violencia & The Killer & Pierroth Jr. (captain)
vs.
Gran Markus Jr. (captain) & Mascara Ano Dos Mil & Poder Mexica

1) Los Boricquas were disqualified 30 seconds in when Pierroth parted the uprights on Poder. Up to that point Poder was controlling the bad guys with punches and kicks.

2) Second fall finished the same as the first, in Pierroth perpetrating a foul. This time it was for spraying something that looked like shaving cream all over Dos Mil. Really bad punch and stomp fest where everyone was blown up halfway through with the exception of 2000 and Violencia. 8:31

Felino & Mr. Niebla & Hombre Sin Nombre
vs.
Virus & Fuerza & Juventud Guerrera

1) A ton of stalling at the start by los rudos. The storyline of the match was Virus’ technico turn and los Guerreras not wanting to team with him. They threatened to leave a couple of times and (funnily) mocked him when Virus kept shaking the faces hands after each of his sequences. Once they finally got the match going it was pretty hot with Juvi and Hombre shining. The first fall saw Nombre go over on Juvi via a backslide with a headstand. Then Niebla tied up Fuerza like a pretzel and dance over his tapping body to make it complete.

2) The work here was very strong as well, but again marred by a lot of stalling with Virus and the Guerreras. About 13 minutes in, Niebla moved and Virus came through the ropes to the floor with a dropkick on Fuerza. Juvi then finally turned on Virus and powerbombed him. You can’t stop a virus, only hope to contain it, so the powerbomb didn’t really affect him that much. After a couple of kicks by Juvi, Virus caught him with an inverted powerbomb and then los techs triple covered the Juice for the match. Then they celebrated the victory with Virus. Good match that would’ve been even better had they done more work than argue. 13:49

Dr. Wagner Jr. & Black Tiger & Takemura & Apolo Dantes
vs.
Gigante Silva & Atlantis & Rayo De Jalisco Jr

This was a single fall match that, like the previous match, had some good work but was more plot driven. The main plot was the continuing fued between Rayo and Doc, as Wagner constantly and aggressively went after Rayo. Both guys wound up destroying each others masks by the end. The sub-plot was Doc and Dantes nearly throwing down on each other as Wagner caught Apolo with a stiff chop that Rayo evaded. Los rudos did a good job of making Silva look good when he was in there by selling pretty hard for him, and Silva did his cool double clothesline spot where he goes over the top rope with his opponents Cactus style. This time it was Tiger and Dantes who took it. At the same time (in a slow and therefore bad looking spot) Doc missed an axehandle on both Atlantis and Rayo and landed on Takemura. The good guys then hooked Wagner and Takemura’s legs and Doc wound up pinning Takemura to give Rayo’s boys the win. 10:01


Vampiro (captain) & Mascara Magica & Negro Casas
vs.
Los Guerreros del Inferno (Tarzan Boy as the captain)

1) Ultimo and Vamp was the fued played up here, as before the match a clip of Guerrero nailing Vamp with some roll shambo action was shown. Ultimo also managed to get a quick decision on Vamp in this match with a single leg crab where Guerrero bent Vamp’s leg over his head for the tap in 62 seconds.

2) Los Guerreros totally dominated this fall and featured more of what makes them the true sensations of innovation. Several cool spots happened, but the highlight was a double face jam by Tarzan and Ultimo on Magica while Rey had him up in a Gory special. Shortly after this Bucanero suplexed Magica over the top rope and in the same motion went over with him. After being destroyed throughout, a bloody Casas made a brief comeback on Tarzan but was cut short by a low blow. Tarzan then covered Casas and the ref went to make the count but Vamp broke it up. Then Vamp went to unload on Ultimo but the ref (only a heel one here, no face to counter him) waistlocked him. Vamp elbowed him and was DQ’d for it, giving Los Guerreros the clean sweep in another very impressive outing. 9:26

AAA
Taped
Huamantla, Tlaxcala

 

Mexican National Middleweight Title:
Pimpinela Escarlata vs. Psicosis

1) Psicosis (who at this point is much better than the original currently is) really tried but Pimpinela just totally sucks, no pun intended. Pimpinela was more interested in getting heat for his transvestite gimmick than wrestling, so this was really bad but he still managed to capture the first fall with a huracanrana roll-up.

2) Bad as well, but controlled by Psicosis. A lot of stalling and weak brawling that culminated with an eastern stretch by Psicosis to force the rubber match.

3) Chessman was Psicosis’ second for this match. He interfered at will in this fall as the only ref was a rudo one. Psicosis got the deserved win with a powerbomb in 15:49, but this was really bad in spite of him.

Lucha en Juala:
Los Barrio Boys
vs.
Los Warriors

Another horrible match where they didn’t even bother trying to wrestling. Some lame chair and skateboard shots, but this was mainly everyone tying to escape the cage so as not to lose their hair. But somebody had to, and it was Alan of Los Barrios in 10:19. Just an atrocious show on the part of AAA.
