Welcome To The Show Vignette: Fray Torment and Mistico.
Match 1: Amapola, La Nazi
vs Dark Angel, Princesa Sujei
Arena Mexico, 07/29/05
Winner: Dark Angel & Princesa Sujei
Match Time: 9:20
Approx Rating: Fine. La Nazi isn't great but plays her role.
Other Match Notes: This is rudas vs rudas, because Lady Apache is gone
(except for a quick cameo) so we're running a bit low on tecnicas at the moment.
And La Nazi had to get a match by this point, I guess. Actually, since Sujei was
supposed to be a big deal a month ago, it is nice they finally got her a match.
Amapola has music she never uses. Sujei has The Beautiful People cover - and
also La Nazi attacking her? I guess this is coming out of the Perros/Pierroth
tension and establishes a relative tecnica side for this match. Which makes
perfect sense when Dark Angel enters and Amapola punches her - that'd sorta
start a trend.
La Nazi powerbombs Sujei in the ring just as the whistle blows, and Amapola side slams Angel seconds later. If this was a three fall match, this would be a
super quick fall, because since it's a one fall match, I guess they don't go for
a pin to at least consider living up to match length expectations. Graphics list
both sides as "De Atractivo", huh. Because this is a Pierroth
La Nazi match, they break out the belt. That'd what happens when you have bad
role models. La Nazi lifts Dark Angel and Amapola dropkicks her off, and it
looks better on paper. We're in complete ruda beatdown, in case you haven't
noticed. Sujei's hung over the ropes so Nazi can give her a jumping elbow to
the face. La Nazi's really enjoying the face she can pose in the ring. Sujei
starts the comeback, kicking La Nazi in the leg to allow Dark to get free an
armdrags, and armdragging Amapola off the ropes. Nazi picks Dark up, Dark comes
off Nazi's shoulders and gives Amapola a spinning DDT. Sujei dropkicks Nazi down,
and gives Amapola a bodyscissors bulldog while giving La Nazi a leg DDT.
(Somewhere, Paul London's mad he didn't come up with that.) Sujei has the belt,
and both girls get revenge shots. La Nazi gets a few extra, and the crowd is
okay with that. Everything settles down to a normal match. After some sorting
out, Dark Angel and Nazi starts out. I would never believe in a million years if
someone told me, but a honest to go "Nazi" chant breaks out. From like
eight people, but STILL. That's not a word you hear chanted that often. Oh, it's
Sujei who's starting instead - she flips in and gets knocked down with one
chests slap. Nazi takes great pleasure in throwing Sujei around by her hair. Tecnico
fans are chanting PRIN CES A. She's fighting back with strikes and hair pulls. Nazi
clotheslines her down and mocks the chant. Whip, Nazi misses a clothesline misses, a back elbow, and
Sujei dropkick, but she doesn't go down.
A spinning headscissors does work to that end, and then Sujei and Nazi very
carefully working their way thru a bodyscissors bulldog. That could've been
better. Like a lot. Switches. We get Dark Angel and Amapola, who are angry at
each for - well, whatever led them to being on opposite sides, now and forever. I
think Dark Angel yells things in Canadian here. Amapola ends up with a corner
whip, Dark reverse, and charges into a boot. Amapola charges out, and lands a bulldog
clothesline. Armbar, Dark tries to cartwheel out, Amapola reveres into a
pump handle and tries a slam, but Dark slips out on her feet, ducks the clotheslines,
shoulderblock, corner kip up headscissors connects. Dark off the ropes, 'rana works,. Dark ducks a
clothesline, now they're kinda lost and sort of
randomly swinging at each other. Both take a step back, Amapola charges, Dark
ducks and lands a float around DDT. Dark still talking to her, but Amapola just wants
out. La Nazi comes in and knocks down Amapola with one strike. La Nazi charges
Dark, Angle ducks down, and out goes La Nazi. Something must've gone
horribly wrong, because we get a crowd shot while Amapola charges Dark Angel.
It ends up with Dark giving La Nazi a spinning headscissors the ropes, Sujei
hamstring kicking Amapola out, Sujei landing a silla on La Nazi, and Dark Angel
landing a plancha on Amapola. Crowd approves. Sujei brings it back in, but we
take a look at replays. Back to live action just to see the end of a
powerbomb/reverse neckbreaker. Tecnicos get a double standing sep over armbar on
Amapola, but La Nazi break sit up with a double clothesline. Dark rolls out,
Sujei stays in as La Nazi poses. Whip, cross body caught, La Nazi swings her
around for a reinera, Sujei escapes and tries a sunset flip but La Nazi won't
go, Dark Angel adds a clothesline and down Nazi goes! Dark Angel helps hold and
back bridges for no real reason one two three. (7:43) Amapola back in, and she
knows
the match is still going, though the tecnicas seem momentarily unaware and get
taken out in the process. Dark is sent out, roll thru sunset flip ends with Sujei
kicking Amapola in the head. Sujei takes a moment to talk to the camera,
probably not good. Another kick for Amapola. Fireman's carry slam, Sujei goes to
the apron for a slingshot something, but La Nazi sweeps her feet and Sujei falls
to the floor. Refs should've caught that but are letting it go. Amapola brings
La Nazi back in while Dark Angel confronts La Nazi and ends up getting posted.
Not too smart. Amapola gives Sujei a face first powerbomb in the ring, one two
NO. Amapola tries a powerbomb, and gets the sloppy faceslam reversal. Sujei off
the ropes, satellite armbar on Amapola - and La Nazi is in to break it up. Well,
they can't let that go. (9:20) Dark Angel tries to cover up her
partner, but no dice. She gets beaten up some while La Nazi goes a bit insane.
Amapola walks off - not sure if she's happy with her partner here, but La Nazi
is quick behind her. Break.
Back for replays? Huh. I think we're just getting in a extra break here to avoid one later.
Match 2: Sangre Azteca, Apocalipsis,
Tony Rivera, Virus vs La Mascara, Maximo, Tigre Blanco, Arkangel in a G1 World Junior qualification
cibernetico, Block A
Arena Mexico, 07/29/05
Winner: La Mascara
Match Time: 13:14
Approx Rating: 84 ish. Good.
Other Match Notes: Everyone's in the ring. No one's really explaining the
concept here - the winner of this block and next week's block meet in two weeks,
and the winner goes to Japan. The concept was for a international tournament of
some kind, but it turned out just to be a New Japan Tournament. Lizmark Jr. won
the heavyweight version of this two weeks ago, but that was a single elimination
tournament, and this is a cibernetico. Only three rudos - two Guerreros (and
Apocalipsis, who IS wearing Guerrero red) - and I guess we're getting the battle
royal because they jump the tecnicos. Tigre Blanco has to attack Virus from
behind just so the sides are sorta fair. I fast forward because this is no
better than any other lucha battle royal that doesn't make TV. Sangre's dumped
first. Apocalipsis is next, Arkangel dumps Virus, and for a second, it
looks like all the tecnicos are going to of after, him, but they don't, and Ark
is able to send Tony Rivera out when he stupidly stands on the top rope. Maximo
takes the dead time between falls to get a Maximo chant going. Break before we
see any action.
Virus and Tigre Blanco are doing zero leg trips as we join. Since when did Virus start wearing gloves? Quick tags to Tony and Ark, who also exchange armdrags and zero covers. Tony's really got to let go of the blond dye a little bit. Ark tries to get the win with abdominal stretch, but sadly, it doesn't work. Tony reverses it to his own. What's odd is both guys try tagging Sangre - he's only Tony's teammate and Bay Richard disallows it anyway. Tony ends up armdragging Ark out and making a legal tag. Sangre and Maximo. Circle. Maximo's a bit too busy with the Maximo chants for Sangre's liking, so he gets a shove. Maximo still manages to get an armdrags out of the first sequence. Some basic mat wrestling, teasing a tapatia and a camel clutch, and delivers on zero counts. Crowd is into Maximo. Tags to Apocalipsis and La Mascara. Crowd seems behind Mascara, but maybe they just like cheering for a tecnico. Armbar battle, Mascara escaping with an armdrags. La Mascara gets a near fall of a grounded crucifix and scoots out of a submission an attempt for a double armdrags. Tags, and we're back to Virus and Tigre again. Off the ropes now, but still with armdrags. Blanco does a good job of landing on his feet from a monkey flip and follows up with a spinning headscissors, but fools around a bit too much and Virus is able to pull off a headscissors off the mat and headstand to his feet. Tags again, back to Tony and Ark. Ark immediately gets a clothesline. Whip, and Ark strolls in to a boot. Tony runs backwards so he can land on his feet from a monkey flip, off the ropes, powerbomb reversed into a Tony flapjack. Tony off the ropes again, bodyscissors into a armdrags, and a dive tease. Maximo and Sangre, Sangre wishing he could fight some one else. Again, Maximo shows an amazing ability to block strikes, sand then drops Sangre with an armdrags. Twisting headscissors takes Sangre down, and a double jump headscissors sends him out. Maximo does his dive fake, and one more se t of Tags. Mascara and Apocalypse, Mascara with a spinning headscissors, and a springboard armdrag, and right now, I'd like a bit more variety in my undercard tecnicos. Apocalipsis gets backdropped from the apron but fights back from there, giving La Mascara a Stunner off the ropes. Apocalipsis goes up, and gives La Mascara a missile dropkick. Mascara rolls out, 'poc teases a dive, Tigre tries to cut him off with a dropkick, 'poc stops short. Tigre flips to his feet with a help, and gives 'poc a side belly to belly suplex, one two no. Blanco with a kick, holding him for a movement, Falcon Arrow, one two three. (5:42)
Virus in, but Blanco sidesteps a dropkick and connects on his own, sending Virus out. Blanco teases a dive, back rolls over the top rope to to the floor, and ends up taking a spinning headscissors from Virus. In the ring, Tony and Ark have picked it up, with Ark armdragged Tony around and landing a springboard plancha for two. Tony pauses him with a shoulderblock, but Ark knocks him out off the ring with a jumping back elbow. Ark going up - plancha to the floor! Maximo and Sangre in, Sangre just moving out of the way of a dropkick. Corner whip, La Mascara (in illegally!) backdrops his partner to the apron and kicks Sangre away when he charges. Mascara dropkicks Sangre out and tease a dive - Sangre moves out of to the way, and into the patch of a Maximo dive! Ark and Virus now in, and Arkangel gets a powerslam one two NO. Chest slap. Corner whip, Ark with the WOW cross body one two NO. Virus gets in a shoulderblock, off the ropes, and he sidesteps the jumping back elbow Arkangel landed last time. Virus charges, and reverses a tilt-a-whirl into a small package one two three. (7:43) 3 vs 3
Tigre and Tony in. Blanco works over Tony with chops, Tony reverses a whip, Blanco lands on his feet after a backdrop, and Tony lands the SUPERKICK. Tony gives Tigre a turnbuckle smash. Corner whip, charge in, backdropped up, Tony comes down with a corner headscissors which causes Tigre to take a bump in an odd direction. Tony runs up the ropes for whatever, and ends up getting armdrags by Blanco. Crowd shot conceals something, and we look back to see Maximo (top rope?) splashing Tony, one two three. (8:27)
Sangre and La Mascara in, and Sangre grabs La Mascara and sets him in the ropes, with Virus holding form the outside. There's the running dropkick to the backside to send him out. Sangre and Blanco in, Blanco blocks a clothesline and turns it into a pumphandle backbreaker. One two NO! What's this kickout doing here? Tigre trying for - figure four? Wow, it actually worked, but Sangre's got the ropes. Odd to actually get near falls. Corner whip, reversed, Sangre charges into Tigre's boots. Tigre climbs to the top rope, but takes too long there, and Sangre runs up the ropes for a headscissors off - one two three! (9:50) It's down to Virus & Sangre vs Maximo & La Mascara.
Maximo running the ropes and hollering. Over, sunset flip roll thru ends up with Virus dropkicking Maximo square on the head. Maximo tries to crawl to his corner, but Virus stops him to put on a tapatia - but La Mascara comes off the top rope with a sunset flip to break it up, one two NO. La Mascara off the ropes, springboard - I think it was supposed to lead into a headscissors/victory roll, but it ended up being like a reverse silla. Whatever the case, Virus quickly turns it into a rollup, which is reversed, and reversed back. Virus on top one two NO. Virus misses a clothesline, LA Mascara tries a 'rana, Virus powerbombs him hard, one two NO. Maximo trying to rally the crowd for his partner? We miss if there was a setup, but but Mascara gives Virus a back suplex into a face first powerbomb, one two three. (10:54)
Sangre's in because he has to be in. He ducks La Mascara's clothesline, and sidesteps Maximo's dropkick - how are they both in? La Mascara hits a pretty bad SUEPRKICK, and Maximo knocks Sangre down with a jumping butt bump. Sangre is able to temporarily dispose of La Mascara by dumping him to the apron, and giving him the guillotine leg DDT while there. Maximo tries to sneak in a top rope plancha, but Sangre dropkicks him on the way down, one two three. (11:30)
Sangre celebrates, but he still has to pin one more time - and goes down to one La Mascara open hand slap. That's a weak chest, Sangre! Of course, La Mascara goes down to one chest slap too, because they're so tired. Sangre gets a waistlock rollup with back bridge one two NO. La Mascara tries a 'rana and gets powerbombed again. Sangre puts his feet on the ropes, one two - aw, they caught it! Sangre wants Baby Richard just to make the count already. Sangre with a kick - Devils Wings! One two NO! Somewhere, Averno makes a note about that move never winning. Chops by Sangre, whip, La Mascara with a bodyscissors roll straight into the rocking horse. That's his combo - and that's it for Sangre. (13:14) La Mascara has won this round, and moves on. Hey, the rowdy tecnico fans have a La Mascara poster? That's a bit unlikely
Stellar Moments
Funny: with bodies already down bad being checked on, Valiente gives Jeque a
Asai Moonsault. Jeque catches him - with his head. Valiente's sternum collided
with Jeque's head, and that couldn't feel good
Painful: Molotov tries to do a double jump (inside to outside) moonsault
to the floor, but looses his footing after the first jump, causing him to slip
to the apron. He decides to do the moonsault from there, and quickly finds out
why you don't do that, as he misses his target and lands on the floor with a
sickening thud. I guess that counts as painful.
Dive: Arkangel top rope plancha on Texano Jr.
Submission: La Mistica on Averno
Punishment: Mistico's Asai Moonsault meets Averno's boots.
Vignette: Pierroth's on vacation in Puerto Rico? Huh. He's very tranquil and calm. La Nazi is still there. Basically, he's angry with Perro for not taking his side when it comes to Garza and he's just generally angry with Garza. La Nazi tells him to give it one more match.
Match 3: Universo 2000 (c), Apolo Dantes, Mascara Magica vs
Hijo del Perro Aguayo (c), Hector Garza, Pierroth
Arena Mexico, 07/29/05
Winner: Universo (2-0)
Match Time: 8:06
Approx Rating: All story.
Other Match Notes: Pierroth gets his own entrance, stays out of the ring
when the Perros are getting beat at the start of the match, and stops Hector
from getting out of the ring. Perro and La Nazi even got some shorts on him.
Pierroth tries to convince Perro from going back to help Hector, but he does
come back, and Pierroth doesn't help him. There's a clip when they're
beating down with Perro, so it must go for a while. Pierroth doesn't get in the
ring at any point. Pierroth rants to the announcers while the Perros recover
elsewhere.
The first thing we see after the second fall ring girl is La Nazi being knocked to the ground. The next is Hector and Perro beating the heck out of Pierroth. When they're done, they throw him in, and Universo's side is more than happy to go along with this sort of thing. They get a hold of the belt via the worst throw ever by La Nazi. Perro and Hector kept stopping Pierroth from leaving, and on it went. La Nazi took a bump from the apron, and eventually Apolo put Pierroth small package for the pin. (3:57) Perro actually wanted back in after the Capos ticked him off, but Hector kept him out, and the match ended by countout. (4:11) The crowd wasn't really happy about it.
Post match, Pierroth challenged Hector to a hair match, and Perro challenged Universo to a hair match. Garza wanted La Nazi's hair on the line too, Pierroth attacked him, and the Perros beat him down. Capos did not care to make the save, and just moved out of the way as Pierroth was beat down.
Seccion Azul: Atlantis (WITH HIS BELT) visits the Atlantis subway exhibit show casing his career. Look, the movie poster! Oh, this is the ribbon cutting. I think they've got all the masks he's won (or replicas of them.) Look, him with the ugly Tohoku championship! Lots of mooks turned to the Atlantis page. Atlantis finds a kid to talk to.
Match 4: Ultimo Guerrero (c), Rey Bucanero, Olimpico vs
Mistico, Atlantis (c), Blue Panther
Arena Mexico, 07/29/05
Winner: Rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 7:30 - though they kept going thru both breaks.
Approx Rating: All a chaotic brawl.
Other Match Notes: Atlantis, wearing the belt, takes time to shake the
hands of any and all kids he can find. Meanwhile, Rey's kicked down Monito.
Atlantis realizes it and wants to take the rudos on, but opts for sanity.
Mistico has HIS belt. It's a belt party. He also springboards into the ring with
a missile dropkick on Ultimo, which sorta starts the fight.
Atypical for a pre-match brawl, the tecnicos actually take control. After the match graphics, it picks up with Panther backdropping and dropkicking Olimpico out. Ultimo comes in to take care of him, but Panther rolls thru a sunset flip and moves out of the way for a Mistico springboard crossbody. Mistico gets in a couple a headscissors to send Ultimo out, and follows him out with a double jump headscissors. Atlantis and Rey take their place in the ring - the crowd was whipped into a fury for Mistico and is deadly silent here, and then the silence starts to give way to boos. It's not because of the action - Atlantis is doing the normal Atlantis set perfectly fine, with Rey taking the Atlantis roll over the top rope to the floor, and Atlantis ends it with a tope. We miss Panther pinning Ultimo some way, but we do see Mistico getting La Mistica on Olimpico (1:29) and that's the fall. Mistico and the tecnicos celebrate, and then Mistico attacks Último on the floor for no reason. Superkick to the middle of the back kinda proves the point. Crowd boos something during the replays - its' not loud boos, but it's a chorus of them. Break.
Panther and Ultimo start off the second fall, Ultimo dropping Panther with a clothesline. Ultimo has a mask with no mouth cut in. The mask looks more inflexible than usual. Panther ends up taking them both out of the ring with a cross body, and Ultimo lays on the ground rather than deal with him. Mistico moonsault into the ring to face Olimpico because he can. Olimpico is holding in his left arm like something is wrong with it, but on they go. Mistico's handspring backflip bit gets a fireworks "aaaaah: reaction, it's kinda neat. 619, check. Springboard dropkick sends Olimpico out, Olimpico bails, so Mistico goes to a springboard armdrags. He got up high in the air there. Mistico poses like usual, but Rey's close enough to run over and shove him off the corner, so off he goes - I think Mistico got hurt there. Rey and Atlantis, and now the crowd is angrily murmuring. Rey's going for the mask, and the other rudos come into cut off the tecnicos. We replay to last week, where Atlantis won the title belt. In the meantime, the finish has gotten reduced to a small window - Rey powerbombs Atlantis for three. (2:21) Ultimo threw Mistico into the seats hard at one point during that. Rey makes the belt motions; hey, win one more fall. Mistico's brought back in so his mask can be ripped. Rey goes after Atlantis' mask aging, but it's pretty much wasted by this point. Mistico's bleeding here - he's cut in his forehead. I think they bring in Bleu Panther for good measure to get his mask. Ultimo press slams Mistico out! Rey gets an idea - and he rips Monito's mask! Atlantis keeps him from doing anymore, but Mistico's mask is completely ripped and he's covering himself with his hands. Beatdown goes on, but they stop for replays. They estimate that Mistico's head is 7.75 meters above the floor at the peak of his springboard armdrags. That's 25 feet (and would make Mistico like 8 feet tall.) I disagree with your science! Break.
Beatdown going on to the third fall. We see Panther getting beat a little, and then Atlantis set up for the GdI sit - but Panther pulls Olimpico out. That's enough to make a sudden comeback, breaking down into the individual rivalries. Rey puts his back to Atlantis and walks away, refusing to fight him. Meanwhile, Ultimo does fight Ultimo, and kicks him around. Ultimo tries to roll out, but Panther keeps him in so Mistico can dropkick him. Atlantis comes back in, and he and Panther take care of Olimpico, ending with Atlantis backdropping Panther into a pescado on Olimpico. Atlantis takes down Rey, starts punching, and the crowd turns on him quite loudly here. Neither man plays to it, though I think Magadan notes it. Rey ends up getting slid chest first to the floor, but Ultimo cuts off Atlantis with a back elbow before h can dive. Mistico springboards in just so he can walk with more of a limp. La Mistica is counted and thrown off, so Mistica tries an up an over sunset flip, but Ultimo reverses to a behind the back face first powerbomb one two NO. Mistico rallies the crowd. Mistico open hand slaps Ultimo, corner whip, reversed, Ultimo charges, Mistico moves, Ultimo takes the knee bump to the floor, and Mistico flattens him with a plancha. In the ring, Atlantis already has Rey into an Atlántida, but Olimpico breaks it up. Panther gets him with a leg scissors and a leg bar submission, but Olimpico's holding out. Meanwhile, Atlantis gets a 'rana on Rey, but Rey rolls thru and hooks the bottom rope - one two THREE! (3:40) Rey is thrilled. Panther is sure something illegal had to happen there and looks to the fans. Rey makes I Want The Belt motions about a hundred times, and then decides to take down Atlantis and rip up his mask some more. I guess Panther is too tired to do anything more but stand two feet away and gawk. Break.
That Rey/Atlantis match would actually happen - but a month later in Guadalajara. I wonder if that was the plan at this point?
We return for Atlantis, with no apparently mask, trying to rush Rey while covering his face. Somehow, that doesn't work. At least now, Baby Richard is telling Blue Panther to mind his own business. Replays of the final fall, Atlantis gets helped by Panther and is given a replacement mask, and that's that.
