CMLL FSE - 09/17/06 (#6)
Recapped: 03/15/07
Unmasked: Mano Negra
Match 1: Arkangel (c), Hooligan, Loco Max vs Stuka Jr., Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico (c)
Arena Coliseo, 09/10/07
Winner: Rudos
Match Time: 6:26
Approx Rating: incomplete
Other Match Notes: Entrances. For a second, it sounds like Stuka Jr. has
the Perfect Strangers theme song. Sadly, no.
1: Stuka and Arkangel start, as the announcers talk about Stuka being trained (in part) by Angel Azteca so he wants revenge here. I think I may have imagine that, that's too out of nowhere. They get a couple minutes before Stuka slips Arkangel out of the ring. Blanco/Hooligan next - of course they bring up Blanco's welterweight title reign, as required in all Tigre Blanco matches. Blanco sends Hooligan out via bodyscissors armdrags, and falls with a (making up new phrases) slingshot handspring over the ropes headscissors - he used the ropes to back flip over them is what I'm trying to say. Directly to the end - Stuka gets Loco Max in a tiburizon (looking like a stalling hold, as they stayed in the corner, out of the way) and Metalico pins Arkangel after a springboard tope.
2: Metalico gets a showcase to start - because he didn't get one in the first fall? - and the rudos take over from there. Stuka gets posted hard on the shoulder. Loco finishes Blanco with a figure four and gets a pinfall by himself, which is always odd. Takes a moment for everyone to realized Metalico is the captain. Double submission finishes him. Beatdown continues while we see replays, but..
This is another cut episode, so we lose the last fall here, and the first fall of the next match - two segments worth of action.
Match 2: Averno, Mephisto, Olimpico (c) vs Heavy Metal, Negro Casas (c), Satanico
Arena Coliseo, 09/10/07
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 7:13
Approx Rating: incomplete, but good in parts
Other Match Notes: As noted, this is joined in the second fall.
2: Rudos are in the middle of a beatdown as we come in, all brawling. Heavy Metal takes a double press slam, dropped on the ring apron. Satanico is thrown around by his head. Metal turns it around with a handspring back elbow on Olimpico - Olimpico got underneath it, and it looked like he had perhaps reversed it into a back suplex or something, but Metal jumped up to his feet and the tecnicos rushed the rudos. Satanico got his usual pin on Mephisto, and that ended up him. Metal brought Olimpico back in to end the fall. Averno got posted on the outside in the meantime. No break between falls.
3: Tecnico showcases - Metal on Olimpico (Olimpico's ends up a beat behind Metal at the end and it hurts), Satanico punching Mephisto out, and Negro and Averno. Negro's the most over tecnico, and this is the matchup getting the build - I think I'd know that if I didn't cheat ahead and look at next week's listings. A chop battle turns into an Averno clothesline, but Averno's following armbar gets reverse into a fujiwara and Olimpico has to save his partner. Back to him and Metal, which Metal knocking Olimpico tot eh floor and dropkicking thru the ropes to get him. Mephisto gets backdropped to the apron, elbows off, and Satanico kills him with the apron senton. Averno and Negro, surely for the finish. Negro back bends under a clothesline, dropkick to the knee, casita, Averno slips out and - oh no, he tried to inside cradle Negro but whiffed. That went bad. They're very obviously lost for a couple seconds, but then Averno gets his own casita and the fall and the match
Negro's very upset about the loss. As the replays wrap up (blown spot of course included), Averno makes a challenge for next week, but the announcers are talking over him. They even end the show before he's done, I think.
