Match 1: La Mascara (c), Satanico, Ogun vs Misterioso II (c), Okumura, Hombre Sin Nombre
Arena Coliseo, 11/26/06
Winner: Tecnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 9:59
Approx Rating: Below average
Other Match Notes: I think Ogun's music samples from It's All About the Benjamin, which is so
great I hope it's true. Misterioso does the prematch interview, wanting a match
with Satanico and a title match with La Mascara.
1: Guys are already wrestling when we start watching. Mascara and Misterioso have a lengthy mat wrestling segment to start off and look good against each other. Ogun and Okumura are next and don't. Ogun is so short, it really shows here.
2: La Mascara gets a basic run on Misterioso, and the rudos jump Ogun before he can get going. Beatdown, though Hombre Sin Nombre seems to have all sorts of problems containing Satanico. Triple boot for Ogun. Satanico held for a lot of trash talking and not much in the way of moves, though Okumura eventually hits his superkick. Hombre Sin Nombre blows a DROP DOWN - instead of falling flat to the mat, he kinda stays on all fours for no reason, and La Mascara trips over him and falls short off the planned Misterioso/Okumura double team. Backbreaker/legdrop combo to finish Mascara off and end this fall before more tragedy.
Promo: Kenzo talks about his match with Rey loses his mind
shouting at the camera. This is Kenzo's finest moment.
3: Beatdown continues. Satanico gets yanked around by his legs. Mascara takes a bad triple boot. These guys aren't stepping over each other, but there's no chemistry on the rudo side. Ogun gets chest slapped, starts to roll out, and gets pulled back for a triple boot. I thought they were pulling him back because he had to do the comeback, which would've been funny. La Mascara back in, and he takes down Okumura before the others catch up with him. La Mascara turns the tides on a corner charge, imagine that. Totally routine comeback, with Mascara doing a plancha (and he appears to land on his feet and only then does Misterioso take a bump.) Ogun puts on a double chickenwing (no crossface) on notSafari, and even with the basic moves that sometimes win it here, that looks amazingly low tech. And just as I'm typing that, Satanico pins HsN with his standing figure four pin. Okumura comes in the ring and about stands there so Mascara can give him a drop toe hold and a casita. No attempt at resistance. Misterioso slinks away.
Match 2: Kenzo Suzuki vs
Rey Bucanero
Arena Coliseo, 11/26/06
Winner: Kenzo (2-1)
Match Time: 16:19
Approx Rating: hilariously bad in parts. Other parts weren't unfortunately
less hilarious, but still very much bad.
Other Match Notes: Rey has his belt, though I think Kenzo's out of this weight division. At
least he cares about his belt. Rey's asked in the prematch promo about how he's
going to deal with - Mima Shimoda. I guess Kenzo will also be there. We get
another Kenzo promo, where he's actually sedate. Magadan drops "tsunami on
us." Mima says about four words, and Magadan translates it into 20.
Magadan's purposely mistranslating Kenzo's promo this week - somehow, he's
looking to call home to dad. I dunno. I got the impression Kenzo was equally
screwing with Magadan, so that must've been entertaining for someone who knows
Spanish and Japanese.
1: While the guys are starting, Mima unties a a middle turnbuckle. This is legit untying of something that wasn't set up, but that's okay because the ref could care less. Kenzo whips Rey into Mima's high heel shoe. Mima comes in and gets a shoe choke. I have no idea where the ref is during this, but no DQ. No bleeding out of Rey, which is expected but disappointing - if this was not a Coliseo goof match, they kinda have to do it off that spot, right? I'm not into blood but that would see to be natural. Suplex by Kenzo, one two three. Mima celebrates as if she won the fall, and when you think about it, she just might have. And then she gets in another boot choke.
2: Kenzo is working over Rey with repeated short clotheslines and one running one before the fall starts. And after it does, Kenzo starts posing. Priorities, man. Ref checks on Rey, who's not getting up - Kenzo's waved away as the ref comes into check Rey's head. I think this is from the high heel to the head, but I'm not sure. At any rate, Kenzo waves off the help, scoop slams Rey, off the ropes, wacky strut knee drop one two no. Mima leans thru the ropes (and almost out of her dress) to argue the count. One two Kenzo pulls him up? Why did you do that? Kenzo picks up Rey, but Rey fires back with chest slaps. Off the ropes, Kenzo teaks him down with a yet another clothesline. One two pulled him up. Standing surfboard rest hold kinda thing? It leads to a part with Rey trying to turn out of it, and they milk that for a good thirty seconds, end up in the spot they started, and milk it again for another ten seconds before Kenzo lets go to do a DDT. Kenzo sits, thinks, and goes for a figure four (kinda) and Rey pulls him into a small package one two three.
Small package could've looked better, but I think that was on Kenzo. Mima rushes the ring, at first to argue the count but then to attack Rey - ref doesn't allow either.
3: Rey must've been resting outside, because the fall starts when Mima throwing him back in. Kenzo with chops, corner whip, Kenzo runs, hops, and stops, opting to chop. Kenzo poses and I try to stop rhyming. Kenzo's not a real hurry to win this match. Kenzo goes for the suplex - he's got it! That's his move! One foot pin one two NO. Rey Bucanero managed to escape the feared sup-lay, oh my gosh. Kenzo argues with the ref while Mima gets in a shot from the outside, and bits Rey on the head! A couple more kicks for good measure. Zoom in on Mima's shoes, which are now sitting on the apron. Kenzo with an abdominal stretch. Mima looks for a way to get leverage, but it's not close enough to the ropes. Rey turns it and gets one of his own, and then holds on to it for a while. This isn't the kind of match where someone might get a hiptoss out to speed up things, no. Ref is distracted into looking towards the far corner, where absolutely nothing at all is going on. He stares, missing Mima come in to break up the ab stretch with a kick. Kenzo talks Rey as he gets up, and then gets bored and just kicks him while he's down. Crowd chanting for Rey, much to the rudos annoyance. Kenzo whips Rey, and he just kinda walks away, yelling something at either Mima or the tecnico fans. Poor Rey is forced to keep running even though there's no one left to hit him, and decides to rest on the ropes. After the fact, Kenzo gives him a forearm to the back. Whip, and Rey does his tease of falling out of the ring but staying in spot for no reason. Rey takes off his vest, I guess It's On, Now. Kenzo throws the most telegraphed clothesline in the history of the world. Rey somehow ducks! Dropkick to the knee, off the ropes, jumping senton to Kenzo's back. Kenzo was up on all fours to take that, and is still up on all fours for no reason, so Rey rides him like a horse. This match, I don't know. Kenzo's made, so they chase in and out of the ring. Kenzo ends up being kicked into front row. Rey waits for Mima to come across the ring, and kicks her as well. Kenzo catches her, and Rey jumps on all of them with a flying hipblock. This is all quite absurd. Replays as both recover. Kenzo may be done. We have time for multiple replays. Kenzo needs that twenty seconds to breath. Kenzo doesn't actually come in, so Rey chops him and sits him down in the front row (on top of someone still in their seat) - top rope hipblock! Magadan is losing his mind. This match will do that to you. Mima is still down selling the first dive, and we have plenty of time to watch a replay of the second one. Kenzo makes it back in so they can have a chop battle. Actually, it's Rey posting, and Kenzo doing a dance. Kenzo finally slaps Rey in the face, and down goes Rey. Kenzo slow to pick up Rey while the crowd gets on him. Corner whip, Kenzo charges in, no one home, Rey dropkicks the corner anyway, oh, right, that was the corner without a middle buckle. What was the plan with the middle buckle anyway? Rey's short but not that short. Rey covers, but Mima pulls him off the pin at two. Rey looks to find Mima, Kenzo pulls him into an inside cradle, one two no. Kenzo takes his time thinking. Corner whip, charge (well, walk in), Rey hops up and gets a corner sunset flip, Kenzo reveres and grabs the ropes with Mima's help, one two NO. This is one of those times where there's plenty of time between each move, but a rare time where I believe they're really that dead. Kenzo does yet another clothesline, but Rey bounces back to his feet to the taunt. Kenzo clotheslines him again, and Rey pops up again. If only Kenzo had another move! Kenzo tries a clothesline again (shocking!), Rey ducks it, Kenzo off the ropes into a somewhat powerslam. Elbow drop, one two three - well, I guess we're going with "2.99999 and Mima pulled Rey off". A little late there. Mima holds Rey from the apron, Kenzo goes for a punch, Rey moves, Kenzo holds up, Rey gets him in an waistlock cradle one two NO! Okay, seriously, enough already. Mima walks in, stomps Rey, and gets ordered to leave. I guess the referee won't let this fine bout end by DQ. Kenzo going up, this should do it for sure. Flying silla HITS! Kenzo does not cover! Kenzo puts his headband back in instead! Kenzo is a freaking moron! Kenzo heads up, Rey stops him with some chops, please finsih him here Rey. Mima up on the apron, but Rey grabs her by the head and boinks her into Kenzo's knee. Rey gives Kenzo a superplex (looked like Rey slipped, but it was fine enough), cover, one two th-NO! WHY! Seriously, this is someone's idea of a cruel joke, on us, on them, on everyone. Rey and Kenzo walk into the next corner whip reversal spot. They're gassed. Rey backs up, takes a few breaths, charges, and they stumble thru a backdrop spot. They have trouble starting it, but they get across the idea - instead of the apron, Kenzo throws Rey onto the ref. Mima comes in once again, grabs Rey once again, but this time Kenzo does not stop when Rey moves, and Mima takes a spear. Rey inside cradle, ref around to count - HEY REF, TURN AROUND TO COUNT. Oh no he didn't. Rey argues with the ref, and goes back to Kenzo. German suplex by Rey, that didn't look fun. Kenzo doesn't really want to go up for a second, but there they go. Do the low blow already. Kenzo grabs the ropes to stop from a third- there's the low blow mule kick. CLOTHESLINE! One two three. Ten minutes never felt so long.
Mima gets her shoes. Magadan got in the ring quick to do the post match interview - must realize they don't have much time. Mima yells into the microphone. Kenzo shows off "muy facil. MUY facil". Replays of the spear on Mima and not the finish. It was quite a sell.
That's it.
