CMLL FSE GdR - 09/23/07 (#56)
Recapped: 09/29/07
Intro: Sangre Azteca hangs out with the announcers as the minis match goes on. Volador Jr. does the pre-taped bit - he's wearing wacky pupil altering contacts, and I wonder if that's why he looked so out of it weeks ago.
Dr. Wagner Sr. Memorial Bits: yea, we start these on FSE just as we end them on CAN52. Lag is annoying. This week is Canek and Halcon
Match 1: Emilio Charles Jr. (c), Skandalo, Virus
vs Leono (c), Mascara Purpura, Mictlan
Arena Coliseo, 08/26/07
Winner: Tecnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 8:24
Approx Rating: Not much of note.
Other Match Notes: Must be very odd for Mictlan not to face Euforia and
Nosferatu. At least Virus is there to help him adjust. Skandalo and Mictlan do
promos. Unless Skandalo really sucks, rudos should smoke these tecnicos.
1: Joined in progress, with the beatdown already going. Purpura makes a one man comeback a minute in, backdropping Skandalo, avoiding Emilio ducking Virus' clothesline and superkicking him out. Purpura dropkicks Emilio out, teases the dive, and does a pescado anyway. Leono and Skandalo back in, Leon flapjacks him, elbow drops him, goes to the apron, and just barely pulls of a springboard elbow drop. That's that pin, and Virus and Mictlan come in to take care the other.
2: Seems like we've got another dubbed in whistle here. Mictlan starts dancing, which causes Emilio to yank off his shirt for a better pose down. Mictlan does nothing notable in the exchange, but Emilio breaks new records by claiming a low blow on a slap to the face. Those tecnicos are tricky! Leono and Virus, and Virus makes Leono's stuff look good. Those two are going 100 MPH, Virus gets knocked out, Skandalo takes over, and the match crawls to a halt. There's a completely blown spot in here, but they react well, and Leono completes the run with a sunset flip roll thru dropkick on Emilio. Mictlan comes back in, and the rudos go back to beatdown. Emilio appears aware enough of the feud to beat Mascara Purpura, or perhaps that's just luck. Fall should be over before he gets it on, but no one's paying that close attention.
3: Beatdown goes on. Mascara Purpura gets held and bounces around on Emilio's punches. Leono's brought in next, Emilio gives him a spinebuster, Virus adds a senton, and he and Skandalo cover. One two...three? That's three! No one has any idea he's captain (and really, Purpura should've been), so the match goes on. Both the graphic and the ring announcer said Leono - there's something they could've fixed in post-production. Announcers are just as confused as I am but I think they decide Mictlan is captain. Mictlan gets chops on everyone, knocks Skandalo out, and ends up being whipped into a tope on them. Purpura comes in, gets Emilio to accidentally boot out Virus, and gives Emilio two tilt-a-whirl backbreakers. Emilio fouls him, and that's the end for sure.
El Diseno de El Halcon
El Arte del Catch: El Cristo
Match 2: Olimpico, Sangre Azteca, Ultimo Guerrero (c)
vs Dos Caras Jr. (c), Marco Corelone, Volador Jr.
Arena Coliseo, 08/26/07
Winner: Tecnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 13:39
Approx Rating: Usual
Other Match Notes: Entrances. Dos has his belt. Marco's valet does half
his promo, and Marco's seems thrilled to make thru his lines it one piece.
Ultimo has his monkey friend, and Dos almost jumps both of them in the aisle.
Olimpico and Sangre do their promo together - so was Dos supposed to do it with
Corelone?
1: Ultimo and Dos take it outside and Dos tries to steal something from the front row Ultimo Guerrero fans. No idea. Sangre and Volador do some crowd pointing and posing and such, and you can see someone tightening (or loosening, can't tell) the top rope off in the background. That's odd to see. Volador has his abdomen taped up, but just one stretch, like it's a giant cut or something. They stick with chain wrestling to start, which is good, because the ring tech guy is still messing with the top rope. I'm not sure what he's planning on doing with half the guys leaning on the ropes. Anyway, they tag out and we get Marco and Ultimo screwing around to kill time. Marco is, in fact, much taller than Ultimo Guerrero. He keeps leaping over UG so he can't get him, and then he punches Sangre Azteca for no discernible reason. That seems unfair. Ultimo dares to run the ropes, and after a few leapfrogs, Ultimo's kick is blocked and Marco punches him. Marco sets up for a big move off the ropes, but Sangre gets in a shot from the outside and the Guerreros beat him down to the floor. Marco gets a big black smudge on his back here, that's odd. It takes a moment to get going, but this is a Guerreros beatdown. Sangre has to get some help from the monkey to contain Dos, but they pull it off. Sangre gets boosted into the GdI sit on Corelone. Evil Monkey takes Tarzan's spot in the slingshot over the knees bit on Volador, and that's good enough for the pin. Announcers debate the legalness of all of this. Magadan's argument appears to distill down to "it's legal when Que Monito gets to do it!" Dos in so they can do the same bit, but with Olimpico hitting his slingshot splash. And that's it.
Q: [Sangre Azteca] Que nombre iba a utilizar en su debut?
Vignette: Dos Jr. and Magadan train like they're fighting each other or something. I think Magadan made fun of Dos's dad or something. Dos' training side kicks on the heavy bag are fun to see. Of course, at the last instant, Magadan subs himself out for a ringer. The ringer is instantly humbled. I have no idea, but this explains why the show was running so short till now.
A: Sangre Latina
2: Beatdown goes on. Corelone takes the UG sit, but the following corner whip starts his comeback. Big punch to Sangre, springboard plancha on everyone. Corelone takes care of Sangre, and Dos dropkicks the other two out. Corelone leaps to the apron, and leaps after the rudos, with a double clothesline for UG and Olimpico. Corelone picks up the pile, and Dos planchas both of them. Volador and Sangre are left in, and we miss most of the finish, so I don't know what happened except Volador won. Blown? Referees do count out the others, but the camera doesn't stick with them. We never see a replay of the finish, so that must've gone bad.
El Arte del Catch: doble palanca - that's that double armbar trap/leg pull submission.
3: Dos and Ultimo screw around to start. Dos gets cheap shotted but we miss it. Not that it matters. Their sequence doesn't look good, and it includes a spot where Dos has UG up for a martinete, but Evil Monkey breaks it up. Dos goes after the monkey, and Sangre attacks him from behind. Sangre gets a brief bit off offense before Dos has the better of him and sets up for a press slam. Evil Monkey breaks that up, and Olimpico fights him away again before Dos can get Ultimonito. Olimpico hits chops, Dos comes back with ones of his own, Olimpico calls the whole thing off to yell at the tecnico fans. Corner whip, reversed, oh no that sent Dos right towards the Evil Monkey, and he doesn't waste the chance, dropkicking Ultimonito off the apron. The Evil Monkey is propelled backwards at a high rate of speed, knocking the back of his head right into the back of a chair. No wonder he got hurt, that's crazy looking. Sangre may have been meant to catch him on that, but he sure didn't. Evil Monkey is down and Magadan calls for a DQ. They bring over the stretcher for him as we take a look at replays. Monkey is quickly stretched out, and Sangre and Ultimo try to get vengeance on Dos for what he's done. Olimpico hangs outside for whatever reason, and then tries to play peacemaker, but his partners really want Dos. Once Dos gets back to his feet, he really wants UG and Dos - no, wait, he want to pose a bit first. Referees get everyone cleared out, and it's Volador and Sangre for a brief second before Volador sends Sangre out with a headscissors and follows with an Asia moonsault. The other four all end up in, and the tall guys get whipped into each other, turn each other around, leapfrog a Guerrero and hit a springboard plancha, but Dos is a bit behind. The refs wait for him to land it so they can do the stereo pins.
Dos and Sangre debate who's house this is. Those Under Armor ads must be really popular in Mexico.
