CMLL FSE GdR - 12/24/07 (#20)
Recapped: 07/07/07
Unmasked: Shocker.
Match 1: La Nazi vs Lady Apache for the Mexican Women's Championship
Arena Coliseo, 12/24/06
Winner: Lady Apache, retains championship
Match Time: 8:03
Approx Rating: Below average. Nazi had to work as a generic ruda, didn't
benefit her.
Other Match Notes: Apache and Nazi cut their promos in the segment
before this match starts. Lady Apache has Sahori as second. Hiroka is with La
Nazi, building off last week's finish. We get another promo from both
participants, in case we forget the ones from three minutes ago. Why is La
Nazi's music Another Brick In The Wall? I think it's the El Papa de Stone as commission
rep here. He has a word with Hiroka about staying in her corner before the
match. This lead to lots of pointing. This black track suit Sahori has on is
more flattering than 99% of the gear I've seen here in, she totally wrestle in
that instead. Anytime they want to start, that'd be cool. Everyone eventually
clears out.
1: Mat wrestling. Surprising no one, Apache wins this early. Nazi's ready for her to lay off already. Nazi is not very fluid as a wrestler here. She gets armdragged out, but Apache just teases the dive, and we spend time staring at her dragon wings back tattoo. Nazi gets the heat with an awful clothesline, but Apache reveres a corner whip, and turns a backdrop into a corner headstand. Nazi does a roll into the ring form the top rope for no reason - it's not like Nazi ever moved out of the way, she was always out of the way. Headscissors sends Nazi out, and Apache follows with a tope. Apache gets back inside, but Nazi gives her a stunner over the top rope. Nazi rams Apache into the corner, Apache hands stands on the middle rope, Nazi scoops her up on her shoulders and gives her a big spinebuster slam one two kickout? I don't know, all I know is La Nazi couldn't have been more obvious grabbing the ropes. Nudo, with La Nazi obvious grabbing the ropes again, and this time it's called. Nazi with a fireman's carry, and he's going up. This seems doomed. Splash hits! Oh, I guess it is a three fall match - one two SHE PULLED LADY APACHE UP. What a moron. Maybe it's not a three fall match. Nazi clothesline misses, back elbow missed, Lady Apache springboard whatever misses. Let's look at a camera man's shirt instead of this match.
Sagrado FSE promo.
Volador FSE promo.
So I'm thinking this is one fall, or we'd have one already (like on that splash.) Nazi whip, Apache reveres, Nazi inside cradle one two no. Oh, now she wants to win, how about that. Lady Apache ducks a clothesline and tries to get a backslide, but looses Nazi's arms. Apache is a fine professional here, hooking Nazi with her legs instead to get a sunset flip without pause. One two no. Nazi misses yet another clothesline, waistlock rollup with jacknife cover one two no. Hiroka was coming into break that one up, but wasn't going to make it. Apache with a stomp, off the ropes, bodyscissors bulldog. Shoulderblock by Apache, off the ropes, and Hiroka trips her up. Uh, there's the one fall graphic. Nazi cradles a distracted Apache, one two no. Both are slow up. It's been six minutes! Scoop by Nazi, slam, one two no. Spinebuster and half crab on Nazi, but she doesn't live in two seconds, and Nazi gives up trying. Corner whip, reversed, Apache charges, Nazi backdrops her, Apache lands on the apron again. Nazi is slapped away, but stands there waiting for the top rope sunset flip one two no. I can't take three minutes of nearfalls. Victory roll? Apache gets it one two Hiroka dives in with a clothesline! Somehow Tigre Hispano doesn't SEE this, and instead only notices the pinfall has been reversed, one two NO. That was incredible. Sahori and Bello Greco are having words with Hiroka, but it's not like they're going to calla DQ. Nazi misses another clothesline, and Nazi gets an inside cradle into a half crab to end it.
Nazi got a shot, so Lady Apache wants her opportunity, her chance to win Hiroka's title.
Match 2: Takemura, Black Warrior (c), Terrible vs
Shocker, Mistico (c), Volador Jr.
Arena Coliseo, 12/24/06
Winner: Tecnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 7:50
Approx Rating: Disappointing. Takemura was nothing, the rest was bout
usual.
Other Match Notes: Shocker does a short pre-match promo. I wish the economics
worked for Takemura to be here full time. He's much better than, say, Okumura
and it's not like he's doing things in Japan at all. Warrior does the promo for
his team.
1: Rudos jump the tecnicos. Warrior beats Mistico out without ever taking his tuxedo coat off. And then he needs help to get it all untied. Mistico is slow to get up, which helps. Shocker and Terrible chop and kick each other in an aisle. Warrior gets a slingshot elbow drop on Mistico, and that's it? That's it. Warrior does the Mistico pose. Terrible bits Monito's head! While Warrior is untying Mistico's mask, we get a break.
2: Beatdown continues as scattered brawling. Warrior pulls Mistico's mask 90% off, and i think he's holding up because he sees multiple photographers ready to go if he gets it off any more. They walk away, (Alexis walks over), and Warrior yanks the mask a little bit more, and everyone's shooting pictures. Warrior's making it tough for them, blocking their view. Warrior slams Mistico and lands a top rope legdrop. He kicks Mistico out of the ring when he won't roll on his own. Can't go winning straight falls. Warrior poses with a Warrior fan with a huge illustrated poster. Terrible and Takemura are just standing around with Volador, kinda waiting for Warrior to get back. Oh, it's because the next spot is Volador ducking a double clothesline and Mistico hitting a springboard dropkick to start the comeback. They do it quite half speed. Volador and Mistico do the double corner planchas, leaving Takemura and Shocker left in the ring. Shocker attempts to turn a clothesline into his hammerlock/headscissors cradle, but Takemura has no idea what's going on, and we end up with a reverse cross armbreaker which wouldn't seem to actually hurt. CLOSE ENOUGH. Crowd boos, maybe because they know that was botched. We're pretending the other guys got counted out, though Mistico does get in a superkick on Black Warrior. Alexis was almost in the ring place at the wrong time. Looking at the replay, Shocker was trying to make it into a weird pin, but the referees thought it was a submission.
3: The ring card girl - Zhara, actually - just holds up three fingers. The card must've gotten broken in another match. We miss Mistico and Warrior doing the Toro bit while looking at the fall graphic. Terrible comes in, so Mistico brings in Shocker. Terrible still doesn't want to face Shocker. This is a long term rivalry. Terrible's wildly swinging all over the place, and Shocker's ducking and tripping him up. Shocker yanks Terrible around by his hair quite a bit. Mistico and Takemura are next. Takemura's sold fine, but he hasn't done anything cool here, and this is no exception. He goes out after a springboard armdrags, and Warrior blocks Mistico's dive path. And then they pose for a bit. Volador switches in to face Mistico. Volador's gear makes him look extra skinny here. Taller, though. Volador side steps a charge, and Warrior takes the knee bump to the floor. Volador thinks about a dive, thinks about it some more, and turns around into a Terrible punch to the face. Shocker in, and Terrible tells him to bring it. He doesn't, so Terrible boots him over. Wacky laugh. Chest slap, and done goes Shocker again. Chest slap, Terrible off the ropes, and Shocker boots him this time. Terrible goes out, Shocker kicks him down from inside the ring, and Monito splashes Terrible from the apron! Terrible chases after Monito, and runs right into a Shocker backbreaker. Inside the ring, Volador hits a plancha, Takemura misses a clothesline, but lands a kick to the midsection anyway. Takemura does the shortest version of his koppo kick ever, we don't get a good look at it, and Volador moves out of the way anyway. Volador grabs Takemura - it seemed like stalling hold while Mistico and Warrior finished up, but I guess Volador actually had Takemura's shoulders down. They still handing out in the corner instead of leaving, and it doesn't really matter, because La Mistica is the next move.
Mistico wants a shot at the NWA Middleweight Title. I've recapped like 4 or 5 different CMLL Satellite shows in the last 24 hours, and they all end with Mistico wanting something. Dude's demanding. Warrior wants a tag team title shot. I bet Mistico asks for a mask vs hair match.
