Other Match Notes: Group interview with the rudos before the match. Much
yelling in many languages and I understand none of it. Tecnicos are much more
calm and get less time. No battle royal to start, so we've got straight tecnico
and rudo sides. The whistle blows about a minute before everything gets sorted
out and people leave the ring, and I'll start counting the match then.
They go to break just as the match is about to start, so we probably had a clip in here. Sangre and Maximo start, and Maximo doesn't look good. He almost loses it on a monkey flip. Tags to Sagrado and HsN for a brief Sagrado showcase. HsN goes out after a rebound armdrags, Sagrado follows him out, and HsN comes back in. Sagrado gets in some chops, misses a clothesline, and slides out, which just happens to work perfectly for a HsN tope. Purpura and Goto in. Finally, Purpura found someone who's as slim looking as him. Again, a showcase, with a springboard armdrag. Purpura di flips for no reason, so Emilio dropkicked him out, and Metro missile dropkicked him in turn. Sangre knocks down Metro while he was celebrating, and then drops him again with a hard chest slap. Metro comes back to get in a flaying armdrags and a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Reverse tope is waved by, and Sangre rolls up Metro with an armscissors cradle for the first elimination.
Toto and Virus in - forget they were in, maybe they started? Alex lands a wheel kick and glares at the crowd. Corner whip, and Virus moves out of the way of the corner splash. Virus armdrags Alex around and then dropkicks him out before doing a celebratory roll. Maximo and Goto in - Goto does wacky martial arts motions so Maximo can do even wackier versions. Goto does the crane, and Maximo pushes him over with one hand. Goto gets Maximo with a boot when he comes off the ropes. Whip, clothesline misses, Maximo does a slow armdrags. Mistico gets in a couple more shots, and surprises Goto with the crane pose, scaring him off. Sagrado and HsN again. Chops. Sagrado off the ropes, up and over - no, HsN blocks it, so Sagrado goes the other way for a 'rana, and that's the end of Hombre sin Nombre. He throws a fit, naturally.
Purpura gets a run on Emilio, but a 'rana is blocked into a powerbomb, and Alex adds a frog splash (with hat.) Alex covers for the elimination.
Virus and Alex get into a chop battle. Virus breaks it off to geo low and hook Alex's legs in a submission. Alex gets to the ropes, and gets out. Replay of his frog splash while the next two are starting. Ah, it's Maximo and Sangre again. Sangre gets sent out on an springboard armdrag, and Maximo follows him with a tope. Meanwhile, Purpura is being helped to the back. Sagrado and Goto in. Sagrado bows repeatedly - and so Goto kicks him. Sagrado fights back, getting in corner whips and clotheslines. Slam, and he holds Goto in place for a Maximo frog splash, one two three. And we've got a break there.
Match resumes with Sangre and Virus. Sangre lands a wheel kick, but Virus catches him on the next pass and gives him a face first powerbomb. Virus heads up, but Sangre's up quick and lifts Virus off the ropes, on his shoulders. Virus slides down Sangre's back, Sangre rolls thru and reverses to a back bridge pin, but Virus kicks out at two. Kicks. Whip, Virus with a spinebuster. He picks up Sangre again. Whip, reversed, Sangre puts his head down too soon, Virus steps over him, puts him in a double armbar, and rolls to his back. I know the name of the hold, just not now. It's good enough to get Virus an elimination.
Tags to Maximo and - well, it's Emilio's turn, but he doesn't want to do this. He stalls, then stops stalling, and we see replays as they start. Lots of jumping butt bumps. One too many - Maximo gets the ref with one. Emilio wastes no time in fouling him. Alex gets Terror Chino back up, and he starts counting - but Adonis Salazar comes in the ring to cut him off. DQ on Emilio. Can the outside ref down that in a Cibernetico. I guess so. Lots of replays while Maximo recovers. Emilio's not in a hurry to leave - wait, is that the end of the match? Alex is still left, but Maximo's got a microphone and is talking the hair challenge to Emilio. That gets Emilio to leave - he's not sticking around for this.
The match IS going on. Alex takes advantage of Maximo's distraction to attack him. Hat dance, no kicks. Forearm, off the ropes, clothesline. Alex off the ropes, clothesline again. Alex waits for Maximo to get up - no, now the Maximo chants have convinced him he must fight now. This goes bad - Alex's first punch is blocked, but then he throws the same exact punch and this time, it's magically blocked. Maximo blocks both punches and goes for the Kiss, Alex grabs an arm, Maximo falls forward thinking it's an armbar takedown, sadly it's not. Alex picks him back up, and falls backwards for the Russian legsweep into the crossface, though Maximo still has no clue and has to be forced to lay on his stomach. That's the end of him.
Alex has cut it down to 2 on 1, but Virus is in right away. Chop battle, with Virus faking him with the right and socking him with the left. Alex tries to leave, but Virus pulls him back, drops him with a fireman's carry, and heads up - top rope somersault senton connect! That never happens. Virus goes for a fujiwara, Alex gets free and rolls out. Alex doesn't seem to realize he's got no one to take his place. He's totally gassed, but Virus forces him back, and walks over to tag Sagrado. Alex rolls out again. taking his time and catching his breath. Another chop battle, and Sagrado wins that with one shot. Alex is whipped, tilt-a-whirl backbreaker into a gutbuster. Sagrado goes up, moonsault, one two three. Thank god Sagrado pinned him, Alex was dying.
Virus walks in the ring to congratulate Sagrado and raise his arm - and Sagrado puts him in a fujiwara! I guess they're going to the last man. This is as much news to Virus as it to me. It looks like he gives up, and Sagrado lets go, but the match keeps going for some reason. Tigre Hispano does make the "no submit" motion, so I guess Sagrado just let go for no reason. Fans have no idea what to make of this, but Magadan gets a hearty laugh out of it. Virus Rolls thru a sunset flip but misses on the dropkick, Sagrado covers for one. Fireman's carry forward slam, and Sagrado goes up - moonsault connects. One two three. Why didn't they just do the armbar submission?
Match 2: Black Warrior, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero (c) vs
Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Mistico (c)
Arena Coliseo, 10/15/06
Winner: Tecnicos
Match Time: 6:18
Approx Rating: Below average.
Other Match Notes: Entrances. Olimpico and Ultimo come out as a unit.
Prematch interview with Olimpico's abs. Mascara is wearing his belt. I'm kinda
expecting the tecnicos to get jumped here, but the rudos behave
themselves. Ah, I guess they did attack while Mistico was entering.
1: Beatdown, pairs Olimpico/Metal, Ultimo/Mascara, Warrior/Mistico, though Olimpico and Ultimo quickly team up on the inside while Warrior does his thing to Mistico on the outside. Mascara's worked over, and they're starting on Metal when Mistico and Warrior get in the ring. Metal's dumped quick, and Warrior gives Mistico - a drop toe hold and elbow drop? And that works? Mistico fights to break free but apparently not enough. With the pin taken care of, Warrior starts untying the mask. Ultimo brings Monito in the ring, and Olimpico gives him a giant (or not so much) swing.
2: Beatdown continues. Warrior on the outside with Mistico again, and Olimpico and Ultimo on the inside with the other two, just as before. Metal gets the held slingshot/somersault senton bit. Warrior kicks Monito down in the crowd. Warrior comes in, and he and Ultimo set up a double clothesline on Metal. They decide that Metal is going to duck, and lift up their arms as if Metal's broken free underneath. Metal just runs thru the opening, hits the far ropes, and walks back towards the center of the ring. Fakest looking thing every. They were probably supposed to clothesline him, because they have to stand around further before Mistico's ready for the springboard headscissors in. Ultimo headed out, Monito out after him with a slingshot tornillo. Mascara gets Warrior with a bodyscissors into a camel clutch, Metal gets Olimpico with a 'rana, and that's the fall.
Between falls take place in the span of a replay.
3: We resume with Mistico getting knocked down by Ultimo and staying down for quite a while. He finally gets up, only to immediately gets chopped down. They try that spot where Mistico flips to his feet, but this time, he just doesn't. Headscissors ends with Ultimo out. Olimpico in and he takes a corner spinning springboard armdrag. Warrior in, and we stop for staring. Warrior gets Mistico with a kick while Mistico's looking at the crowd. Pulling the rope! Long pause before following up. Mistico with the handspring for no reason, torture rack escape armdrags, and Warrior backdrops him to the apron before he can do more. Wheel kick knocks Mistico to the floor, and Warrior goes to the apron to add a tope con giro. Metal and Olimpico in, Metal quickly drops Olimpico to the apron and the floor, and connects on his thru the ropes dropkick. Mascara and Ultimo, Mascara charge, and Ultimo calmly backdrops him over the top rope to the floor - Mascara turns it into a tope con giro, but can only connect with his partner, Heavy Metal. Ultimo has no one to beat, so he yells at the crowd. He taunts Mistico into finally coming in. Mistico stops to get the crow cheering. Ultimo gets the first strike in with a back elbow off a whip, but Mistico quickly sneaks in a bodyscissors powerbomb for two. Both selling very tied. Mistico off the ropes, La Mistica on - but Warrior storms the ring, and yanks off Mistico's mask in mid roll. That's that. Warrior celebrates the non win. Warrior messes with the mask, beats up Mistico, beats up Monito, and wears the Mistico mask around his waist. Then he wipes himself with the mask and walks off for the interview. Tecnicos try to sneak Mistico past him to the back, but Warrior gets a couple more shots on him.
