Match 1: Mima Shimoda, Hiroka, Amapola (c) vs Lady Apache (c), Marcela, Luna Magica
Arena Coliseo, 05/13/2007
Winner: Tecnica
Match Time: 11:28
Approx Rating: Okay enough. The tecnica women are really being put over
strong.
Other Match Notes: Amapola does a pre-match (re: Marcela) promo that
actually sounds good. Marcela got a makeover or something. Lady Apache is
wearing the same outfit she did for the opening of GdR, in case you're slightly
confused on how this is all filmed. Negro Casas joins the announcers for
no reason I can think of.
1: Tecnico showcases go Lady Apache (vs Hiroka), Marcela (vs Mima, which turns into Hiroka and Mima trying to double team) and Luna (vs Amapola). Nothing really stands out except the seemingly longer than normal time here. I think my patience may be lesser than usual. Luna has new, much better gear and Amapola to work with, so this is good performance for her. Tecnicos got a run, set up a double dropkick on Amapola while Lady Apache held her in the camel clutch, but the Japanese tripped up the tecnicas, and Amapola turned the tables in the ring, though we don't see the actual finish live, seeing action outside the ring instead. Amapola is very pleased with her win. It's only the first fall.
2: Ruda beatdown. Apache gets hung on the middle rope for a dropkick to the head. Marcela takes a bodyscissors face first powerbomb, and a rolling arm snap. Luna takes the Japanese off the shoulders splash, and they actually try a pin on that one. (Line kicks out.) Lady Apache avoids a corner charge, and gets a complicated comeback. And then stands around because Marcela and Luna are a little late making their run in. Luna's 'rana on Mima looks fine - I feel obligated to point out when Luna does something okay. Hiroka takes a face first powerbomb and a camel clutch for good measure.
3: Fall starts with Amapola already giving Luna Magica a back cracker, which is an odd way to start. Two count. Amapola continues her medley with the under knee spinning neckbreaker whatever thing, and we're still looking for a time where it looks good. Definitely not here. Two count. Hiroka gets tagged in and tries a middle dropkick, but Marcela breaks up that cover. She's all fired up for some reason. Crowd does seem into to it. Off a reversed whip, Marcela sneaks in a torito for two, and is very shocked not to get three. Hiroka turns the tables and get a waistlock, and Lady Apache comes in off the top rope with a sunset flip on them. Both. She holds onto Hiroka, who reverses on top one two Lady Apache reverses it to sit on top - and Marcela kicks her in the head by accident! That was surprising. Mima bumps Marcela with a back elbow. Hiroka grabs the tecnica, and Mima tries a running kick; it's not so surprising when Hiroka ends up taking it. Mima and Marcela battle, with Marcela's whip reversed right into a Luna missile dropkick. Nothing's going right for anyone - the same thing happens with the rudas, and Amapola dropkicks Mima. Mima ends up out, Luna after her with an apron tope con giro. Amapola and Lady Apache in - Amapola tires for the double underhook faceslam, Lady Apache escapes, Amapola clothesline misses, Lady Apace does not. Hiroka is watching this from the apron. Lady Apache corner whip, Amapola reverses, Marcela boots her partner to the apron and kicks Amapola away. Lady Apache up top, top rope sunset flip on Hiroka as she charges in, one two three. Meanwhile, and we don't get a good look at it to start, but it sure seemed like Marcela got La Mistica on Amapola, and that gets a loud reaction. She ends up switch to a double armbar, and that'll do it.
Replay. Yea, that sure looks like La Mistica. Interesting. Lady Apache gets interviews post match and talks about working hard to stay at this level, I think.
Match 2: Mephisto (c), Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca vs
Heavy Metal (c), Felino, Sagrado
Arena Coliseo, 05/13/2007
Winner: Tecnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 11:39
Approx Rating: Okay, though Sangre looked off.
Other Match Notes: Mephisto does a pre-match promo wearing a Simpsons
shirt. Misterioso is listed as Misterioso Jr. here. Sure seems like the same
guy. Felino does the pre-match promo and makes cat noises.
1: Heavy Metal and Sangre start. Sangre's added weight lately. He's also got Guerrero tights, which makes me remember the "He's being called up to the A squad" bit that hasn't actually gone anywhere. Mat wrestling to start. Mephisto breaks that up, Sagrado comes in to confront him, and then we have a bunch of posturing before getting to Sagrado/Misterioso. I pay more attention to the announcers going over the Negro Casas title history, but this is okay. Mephisto/Felino is the most fast paced of the three matchups, and it also ends fast. Sagrado gets the up and over sunset flip and Heavy gets his Heavy Punch on Sangre in theory - in reality, Sangre totally ducked it, and then realized he wasn't supposed to. Sangre rolled out, and Metal got in his diving dropkick to make sure he got something.
2: Metal and Misterioso start the fall, for all of five seconds before Mephisto interferes. Metal ends up coming back on both. Sangre tries to help out, and ends up getting a kick to the floor. Metal gets his dropkick on Sangre and Misterioso, and then trips Mephisto off the apron and sends him down as well. No one left to fight for the tecnicos. Sagrado gets his turn, and sends Mephisto out with a spinning headscissors. Misterioso in, and he takes the rebound amrdrags. Sangre gets Sangre down and goes crazy with the stomps. He ends up running into the backbreaker + gutbuster combo next, and takes an enziguri to the floor. Again, we've run out of rudos. Misterioso back in, to face Felino. Misterioso takes the early edge with chops, but Mephisto and Sangre wander in because it's time for the beatdown. Triple boot for Felino. Metal gets thrown around by his hair. Metal blocks Mephisto trying to do it, and Mephisto kick him questionably low - replay clears Mephisto of any wrong doing. Sagrado gets a double hiptoss in. Triple faceslam for him, and he's held on the mat for a bit as they bring in Sagrado and set him up for the submission. Sangre stops Felino as he comes in, and rips at his mask.
3: Beatdown continues. A bit of brawling, a bit of choking. Metal is eventually loaded up in the double rebound hiptoss, and flies a long way on it. Metal seems shocked himself after. Sagrado is held for a big slap by Mephisto. He lands on his feet after the double hiptoss, Misterioso and Mephisto try to clothesline him anyway, Sagrado ducks at about the middle of the ring, the rudos slow down, and then speed up to clothesline Sangre at the far end of the ring - Mephisto even throws in a kick. I think Sangre was wildly out of position here, and he seemed not to be on the same page earlier. Rudos charge into a Sagrado backbreakers and the comeback is on. Metal backs Misterioso all the way up the aisle just on the thought of a punch. When it settles down, it's Sagrado and Felino in. Felino gets the back bend cradle, and both men's shoulders are down - one two three! I don't think either man figure it out totally, but they're both dropkicked out by Sagrado and Misterioso. Sagrado sends Misterioso out with a headscissors, and launch at him with a good tope con giro. Captains left in, and Heavy waits till the crowd chants for him. Heavy's grown his hair out some. He misses on a dropkick. Mephisto punches him as he gets up. Whip, Mephisto drops down, Metal grabs the ropes, and then grabs Mephisto's arm for a casita. Mephisto shoves him off, waistlock rollup is escaped, Metal bodyscissors cradle one two three. They kinda cut between referees on the pinfall, which made it confusing - he was three by one of them, and that's all that matters.
Replays, and then immediately to the close. And again two minutes early - is there two extra minutes of commercials on FS-LA now?
That's it.
