CMLL FSE GdR - 09/09/07 (#54)
Recapped: 09/12/07

Open: It appears the guillotine legdrop onto a hanging opponent is one of Tiger Kid's trademark spots. Also of some importance is Dr. Wagner Jr. joining the announcers to show his taped ribs, and Dos Caras Jr. there because he hasn't been taken out of the match. Magadan is there to get in the most words. He takes his time setting up the Averno & Mephisto promo - I wonder if it's because the demonic duo talk about their tecnico opposition as if Wagner's still on the team and Magadan is explaining it away? 

Reoccurring Feature: Dr. Wagner Jr.

Match 1: Hiroka (c), Medusa, Princesa Sujei vs Dark Angel (c), Luna Magica, Sahori

Approx Rating: A little bit less than usual. There's better, for sure.
Other Match Notes: Entrances. Luna Magica has new gear. Well, new for this show anyway. No pre-match promos? 

1: Naturally, after watching people walk to the ring for three minutes with dubbed over music, we joined the match in progress. They are good at dubbing in the whistle to pretend you're not missing anything. We missed Luna and whomever, and start with Sahori and Hiroka chain wrestling. Nothing too noteworthy, except for a mistimed split legged facebuster. Sujei and Dark Angel are last. Dark Angel is fired up and may have hit Sujei in the face with a clothesline. Sujei smartly drops Dark Angel on the turnbuckle when she tries to follow up with a corner clothesline. Chops, but Sujei takes too much time in between, and Dark Angel gets her own corner open hand slaps. Sujei blocks one, puts Dark Angel in the corner, backs up, and kicks her. Whip, quick reverse to a a spinning backbreaker. Dark Angel off the ropes, forward handstand pose. Tags to Luna and Medusa. Luna cartwheels over a drop down, off the ropes, Medusa backdrops her and Luna over rotates, hurting her right ankle on impact. Both refs are immediately over to check her. Medusa gets in a stomp but is backed off as we take a look at a replay. That does not look fun. She's helped (rolled?) to the floor so the match can continue, but we're still watching replays when it does. They're in the middle of the end fall sequence when we pick up, everyone but Sujei and Angel ends out. Dark Angel and Sujei do some spots that don't look as good as usual, and Sujei reverses a sunset flip attempt into a behind the back cradle piledriver. Sahori rushes back into the ring after the fall to check on her other partner - she's going to be out of partners soon at this rate.

2: Sahori is too busy beating up the tecnicas to mess with the ring girl this time. Sahori's being worked over in the ring to start, but she quickly takes a triple boot. Looks like Luna Magica is standing on the outside, but holding onto a ringpost. Dark Angel gets a camel clutch/double dropkick to the head. Luna in - she doesn't get to a standing position before they kick her down, but then they send her cross ring via whip so we can watch her hobble. Corner clothesline, corner clothesline, corner sit by Medusa. Sahori is quickly in, seemingly only a distraction to allow Luna out. Hiroka puts Sahori in something like Satanico's standing figure four pin hold, but the idea here is just to hold Sahori so Medusa and Hiroka can dropkick her in the butt. That seems cruel. Dark Angel back in, double hiptoss, everyone sets up for dropkicks, but Dark Angel rolls backwards out of the way. Boot to Sujei to back her up, as the other two tecnicas put the rudas the Star. It take a moment for Dark Angel to get everything set up like she wants, but she pulls Sujei in the middle for an argentine backbreaker, and that's the fall.

El Arte del Catch: Tope Suicida. AND THEN WE SEE A PLANCHA SUICIDA. What the heck.

3: This time, Sujei gets the ring card, but the fans don't cheer her the same way they cheer the ring card girl. Luna seems to be standing on her own two feet, so I guess she got better. Sujei's getting into arguments when women in the third row for some reason. Well, probably because it's fun. Dark Angel starts the fall by clotheslining Hiroka. Corner whip, reversed, Dark Angel gets her feet up, Hiroka catches them and powerbombs her down. Pin, one two no. Hiroka's kicked off far into the corner, and Dark Angel follows, Northern Lights suplex, no bridge but pin anyway, one two Medusa breaks it up. Chop. Whip, Dark Angel 'rana, one two no. We look at a kid, and come back to see Medusa get Dark Angel in a Boston Crab. Sahori breaks it up, and puts Medusa in a grounded crucifix, one  and Sujei's turn to break something up. Whip, reversed, and Sujei gets Sahori in abdominal stretch. Luna breaks that up with a slap to the backside. Sujei kicks Luna hard, whip, 'rana, one two Sujei turns it over just in time to get accidentally kicked by Medusa, but Sujei doesn't' actually sell it. Oh well. All the rudas in and working over Luna now. Tecnicas argue form the apron. Whip, double clothesline is ducked, Luna slides out and - just stays there. Huh. Rudas come up with an insane plan in two seconds flat - Hiroka and Sujei whip Medusa into the slip n' slide dive to the outside. Luna attempts to DDT Medusa as she comes under the bottom rope to the floor, but the tecnicas ends up bowled over. I cant believe that actually worked. Meanwhile, the other tecnicos have headed to the ropes, and get the two rudas left in the ring with missile dropkicks. Tecnicas try bodyscissors moves, but they're both countered and thrown off. Rudas get submission and the sudden win.   

El Diseno de Lizmark.

Match 2: Averno, Lizmark Jr. (c), Mephisto vs Dos Caras Jr. (c), Valiente, Volador Jr.

Winner: Rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 8:00
Approx Rating: Eh. Got the idea for next week over well enough
Other Match Notes: Entrances. Wish I could hear how the crowd reacts to Valiente and Dos Caras (who has his belt.) Valiente does the pre-tape, explaining his fill in for Wagner. 

1: We start with Dos Jr. and Lizmark Jr. face to face. Lizmark gets on his knees and ask for a handshake. Tecnicos must like it when they finally get to do this spot they've been attacked on so many times before. They discuss the shake a while, and finally shake. Hug. Shake again. Pose - and finally Lizmark kicks him down. Rudos jump the tecnicos from there, Mephisto and Averno clearing the other guys off the apron and beating them on the floor. Volador gets crotched on the post. Lizmark goes after Dos' mask. Valiente's brought in for double back elbows and double boots. They clear out of the ring, and Lizmark whips Dos to set him up for the superkick. Jumping jacks. Looks like Valiente got posted good on the floor, but we didn't see much of it. Lizmark really failed and getting Dos by stretching out the eye holes, so he's going to untie the mask anyway. The other four are back in, so they can finish the fall, and they do.  

Q: Que otro personaje tenia Averno?
A: Rencor Latino

2: Beatdown continues, though with Dos involved, it has to stop every ten seconds so he can look at the crowd and pose. They've almost got his mask off but he hangs on. Dos quickly reveres a corner charge into a backdrop, evade a double clothesline, catches Averno on a plancha attempt and gives him a blockbuster suplex. Mephisto's avoided, Lizmark's clothesline is avoided, and Dos superkicks him. Averno manages to boot out Dos, and we miss Volador coming in with a springboard dropkick. Valiente in, backflip escape into an armdrag into a seated armbar on Mephisto, and he's done. Volador get the up and over sunset flip on Averno and that's the fall. Lizmark hops back into the ring, realizes the fall is over, and slides back out before Dos can get him. He makes the mistake of posing towards the crowd in aisle, and Dos seem to catch up to him there, but we're look at replays instead.

El Arte de Catch: La Cerrajera - standing over a bended opponent double armbar variation. 

3: Dos and Lizmark start again, Dos working Lizmark over in the corner with chest slaps as we join in. Lizmark does a Flair Flop, but we mostly mists it looking at the crowd. Whip, corner enziguri by Dos.  Lizmark escapes, Dos runs and slides out to get to Lizmark, but he's hiding in the very last aisle of h the building. Security and the referee cut him Dos off from crowd brawling. Averno and Volador in. Lots of crowd stoking before they wrestle. Volador refuses to shake Averno's hand, giving him the old matador fake out. Averno can't help but fall for it, four straight times. He starts to get wise on time five. Volador off the ropes, oh, Mephisto booted him from the outside. Both in, but they miss the clothesline and boosted Volador up into a headscissors on Mephisto. Volador gets a fireman's carry escapes into a loose headscissors on Averno to send him out. Valiente speeds into the ring, sets up for the double jump springboard moonsault, but bails after hitting the second springboard - it looked like he landed fine, but he wasn't comfortable for whatever reason. Instead, he leaps to the apron and does an Asai form there. Volador does the same with Mephisto, and we're back to the two giants. Lots of looking at the crowd and reacting instead of wrestling. Charge, and Lizmark lands a back elbow. DX chops? More WWE stuff he gets to do. Whip, Dos does the spin around escape, Lizmark waits, then throws a belated clothesline. Dos ducks it, kicks Lizmark, presses him up, drops him, German suplex? No, no one will ever take that move again. Lizmark JR. escapes, kicks Dos, lifts him up (having a bit of trouble with that), and drops him with a sit down powerbomb one two three. 

Dos grabbed his head on impact, but a replay shows he did a fine job of keeping his head up. His mask must've been barley staying on, so maybe it was that. Dos and Lizmark cut promos but the announcers talk right over them. To be fair, they're just explaining what the wrestlers are saying, I think. We do start listening just about the time where Lizmark throws down the title challenge. Dos goes on and on, but seems to accept. They get into a chop battle, and Lizmark wins by yanking Dos' mask. Can't disqualify him now! Lizmark walks off with the mask in his mouth. We skip ahead to some point where Dos has gotten a replacement mask, so he can talk to the interviewer. Dos feels very betrayed by his amigo Lizmark turning on him like this. 

What's odd is Dos is specifically making the title match next week - didn't they have a match announced with the Perros + Lizmark vs Dos's team (leading us all to point out how Lizmark breaking up with the Perros was being ignored already) only to switch to the title match later in the week? Seems like the title match was planned all along. HUH. Lizmark looks to be coming back out for Dos again just as this interview ends, but that's the end of the show.
