CMLL Mini Line - 09/12/04 (1) (#144)
Typed: 09/23/04
This was the first part of three episodes airing in the same two hour timeslot. This show was out of order, airing about three weeks late. Only the main event aired in the US, but I believe it was the same deal in Mexico, and there was no extra clipping.
Welcome To The Show Vignette: Tarzan Boy, mocking Dr. Morales intro.
Stellar Moments - Shocker big boots Tarzan, but Tarzan sneaks in a low blow on a missed boot. Tzuki spins crazy into an armdrag. Ultimo Dragoncito fakes a plancha, because he's actually moonsaulting to the floor. Vampiro kills Monito. JUMPING PILEDRIVER. And then he tries to get at him after the match. Niebla tope con giro Tarzan Boy with some unintentional help from Ultimo.
Vignette: Fray Tormenta introduces us to Mistico. The magic of the spirit world (or fun editing) allows Misitco to suddenly appear from nothingness. Feels like we're trying Sagrado II here, and hopefully they won't just show the spots he blows. Tormenta blesses Mistico with the spirit of El Santo. Hmmm.
Match 1: Tarzan Boy vs Perro Aguayo Jr.
Arena Mexico, 06/11/04
Winner: Tarzan Boy (2-0)
Match Time: 4:44
Approx Rating: 73.
Other Match Notes: This is the compliments to the trios match last week; the two people left out of the trio feud meet in a singles match. Tarzan's got some non-Metallica this week. Perro has the Aguayo music. Tarzan tries to surprise Aguayo with a charging dropkick on the ramp - the valet spots him and runs for her life, but Perro just moves out of the way. Clothesline, stomping. Rights to the head. Graphic to show the matchup. Looks like Negro is Perro's backup, but haven't spotted Vampiro or Pierroth yet for Tarzan.
Perro clotheslines them both into the ring to get the match officially started. Right hands stun Tarzan, and he's dragged out over the middle rope to the apron. CMLL has apparently added referee camera as a new way to miss the action. Tarzan's face gets slammed into the side of the ring. Chopping into the first row. Perro asks fort the people to move out of the way, and we're back to Perro tossing people two runs into the ring. The referee (Terror Chino, I believe) is very ticked about this, trying to grab Perro and pull him out when he's not yelling at him. Perro takes Tarzan on a tour, stopping at the ringpost for a closer look. Back in, just beating the twenty count. Perro goes on the second rope to look at the crowd. He's got the psycho look going. Punching Tarzan on the mat. Tarzan gets on his feet only to be chopped to one knee. Whip, clothesline. Stomping. Tarzan's getting nothing in. Slam. Time? Yep, running stomp. He's not done? Ah, there's Pierroth on the outside, with La Nazi and getting yelled at by Perro. Why does Pierroth wear the Houston (Astros) shirt? Such a heel. Perro, deciding he might as well give Tarzan a free fall, goes for the small blue step. Maybe he's mad at Tarzan for stealing this from him last week. Swing, Tarzan's been watching him coming so he' easily ducks. Perro wants to do it again, but the referee is obstructing his path. Tarzan makes use of this to hide, and urge the referee to DQ Perro. Referee Chino eventually grabs the box away, argues with Perro some more - and awards the fall to Tarzan. (2:35) Perro totally should've cracked Tarzan with the step if he was going to lose the fall anyway. Negro comes into argue the decision, while Tarzan Boy gets a hug from La Nazi and Pierroth. What a hard earned victory for Tarzan Boy, with a grand total of zero offense. Pierroth's wearing a "2" Astros shirt? I'm thinking that's not Chris Burke, who's got the number as I write this. Replays.
Perro stalks around outside the ring, then decides to rush Tarzan with more strikes before the fall officially started. Headbutting him now, and Tarzan gets absolutely nothing in. Luckily, Chino pulls Perro off, since the fall hasn't started. After the whistle, they start arguing. Circle, and Perro throws some more right hands. Headbutt. Whip, head won too soon, Tarzan with an inside cradle one two NO. Tarzan hooks Perro in a hammerlock, then lifts him up while holding him in a facelock. Nudo variant, till Perro lets go of the hammerlock and turns it into a suplex. Tarzan covers for two as the camera notice Pierroth is suddenly wearing knuckles. Tarzan lifts Perro up again - Gory Special! Perro's waving he won't give - and armdrags his way out. Tarzan quickly stops him with a big clothesline. His two fans go while. Short clothesline is ducked by Perro, and Perro fights his way to a German Suplex. Tarzan is folded up, and Perro sits on his legs to cover one two big kickout. Perro looks to the crowd, which gets them chanting again. Northern Lights Suplex one two no. Chop. Powerbomb by Perro, and he pulls Tarzan towards the corner. Two unfortunate things at once - he's climbing up for the top rope stomp near Pierroth, and Terror Chino is suddenly yelling at Negro Casas and looking the other way. Nazi - who we may be calling Commandante de Buenos Aries this week for no reason, grabs a leg and gets kicked away, but Perro turns right into Pierroth's loaded fist, and he's down. Tarzan Boy covers and yells for Chino to turn around, one two three. (2:09) Rudos barely have a moment to celebrate before Negro is in and going after Pierroth. Nazi gets a hold of Negro and helps turn the tide. Maybe the jersey says "Pierroth" and it's #2 because he's the second? I guess. Vampiro's out to join the fun stomping, and that means Shocker isn't far behind. Wow, all six men involved in the big cage match just happen to be out here. Vampiro wisely uses a cameraman as a human shield. Shocker and Negro seem willing to continue the tag match from last week, but the rudos are happy with winning. Shocker talks and swears. Pierroth talks. VIVA PUERTO RICO.
It's funny, because this week and all along, the build's been "rudos keep getting better of the tecnicos, Shocker wants Vampiro", and neither of those really pay off (although part of that was probably due to Shocker's injury.) And the stuff that does happen isn't even hinted here.
That's it, at about 26 minutes. No Next Time and no credits, which I'd presume have been cut off since this wasn't the last episode of the day
