Why are they running the nueva figurea vignettes here?

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 15:05
Rating: bleh
Notes: Referee is Maya.
1: Pairs are Camorra/Molotov, Bronco/Sensei, Ramstein/Starman. “STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARMAN” is said. A lot of opening match guys invading the segunda here. Camorra kicks at Sensei to break up a hold on Bronco, and Sensei chases him most of the way up the aisle. Neat Sensei cloverleaf leading to a Bronco headstand escape bit. Starman ends up dropkicking Ramstein out, which leads to Everyone hitting each other. Técnicos get the better of it, with no dives. Ramstein screams and escapes whatever hold Starman wanted to him in. Replays seem to last a long time.
2: Edecan has a strong gesture to the crowd as she walks away. I guess she forgot people where here with cameras. Sensei/Ramstein is kick-rific. After other people get a turn, rudos calmly attack Molotov behind for a beatdown. General brawling. This match is not exactly selling me on needing to see more of these six fellows. Starman takes a hiptoss onto the ramp, which at least makes a loud noise. Bronco gets an amazing lack of height on a jumping clothesline to Molotov. Broncos lets on the middle rope, and holds Molotov upside down for a dropkick from Ramstein. That's a finish!
3: beatdown continues. Molotov ducks a double chop to start the comeback. Armdrags send out Ramstein and Bronco, técnicos slide out after them and runs the rudos into each other. Inside, Molotov submits Camorra, but he's not the captain. Molotov's torito is blocked into a powerbomb, and Bronco puts on a submission that's mostly obscured by the giant cmll.com graphic. Working at cross purposes here. Sensei kicks Bronco, gets caught on a corner charge, and weakly headscissors Bronco out. Asai attempt is broken up by Ramstein, who swings wildly on the apron. Ramstein isn't doing much, but he's showing a little bit of life. Starman gives him a quebrada, Ramstein gets right back up and clotheslines him twice. 'Rana, Starman rolls thru one two three.
Match 2: Ángel Azteca Jr., Dragon Lee, Fuego © vs Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus ©

Rating: eh
Notes: Referee is Rodolfo.
1: Pairs are Dragon Lee/Raziel, Angel Azteca/Virus, Fuego/Cancerbero. Raziel does work, as always. Dragon Lee flips out of a wristlock, and turns another one into a headscissors. Raziel bails up the ramp after that, Dragon lee walks after, Virus cuts him off and everyone's involved for a moment. Everyone backs down to get to Azteca and Virus. Virus yips at Azteca as he escapes a grounded headscissors, and later sets up a snap mare with a cartwheel. He's in some mood. Fuego flies around and causes Cancerbero to do the same. Springboard armdrag sends the big man out, Fuego fakes a dive, and Dragon Lee catches everyone by surprise by running down the apron, up the corner, and off with his tope con giro. Virus kicks down Fuego, Azteca gets Virus with a plancha, then takes down Raziel and submits him. Fuego finishes things up with Virus.
Whistle to start the second fall blows before these guys even start airing replays. There's a minute or two of missing action here.
2: Dragon Lee pulls off his patented flipping too soon clothesline sell with Raziel. He comes back with a top rope headscissors, and Raziel flees again. Cancerbero gets Fuego with a big boot to the face in the flow of action, and that's enough to start the beatdown. Ring clear but Fuego, who's sent out with a triple boot. Raziel holds up Azteca for the Cancerbero frontcracker. Dragon Lee surprises everyone but ducking under a double clothesline and dropkicking Raziel to the apron. Rudos miss a double clothesline, but still chop the técnico down. They hold him with the armbar/leg bar bit, and Raziel comes back in with a springboard dropkick to the head. That looked nice. Everyone takes a turn clotheslining Fuego, and finishes him off with their hold.
3: Rudos slap the técnicos around. Fuego slides out on them, Raziel gives chase, and Azteca get him with a headscissors of the apron. Fuego gets Cancerbero with a sunset flip, and rolls him up right in time for a Virus dropkick. Dragon Lee back in with a floating – something, not shown well and may have not going well. Fuego topes Virus, Dragon Lee 'ranas, Cancerbero, but Cancerbero kicks out at two. Dragon Lee spinning thing doesn't go right, and Cancerbero hooks him in an Alejandria – he's done. Azteca rushes into dropkick Cancerbero, but Raziel takes him down from behind, puts on the tapatía, and Cancerbero adds the neckbreaker. That's it.
Match 3: Hijo del Fantasma ©, Metro, Stuka Jr. vs Misterioso Jr. ©, Pólvora, Tiger

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 13:28
Rating: eh
Notes: Ref is Pompin. Don't put Misterioso on the top rope, Stuka!
1: Pairs are Pólvora/Metro, Misterioso/Fantasma, and Stuka/new look Tiger. He's got a let less mask, and a lot less gear. Stuka runs circles around him until Tiger dropkicks him on a sunset flip reversal. Metro steps in, grabs Tiger, turns him around, and German suplexes him. Welcome to the semimain, this'll probably be happening a lot. Pólvora bends over Stuka and begs to be put in a small package. Technically he was looking for a leg lock, but really no.
2: I couldn't figure out why the ring girls are now wearing baseball caps, but there must be another ad on them. That's the reason for everything. Metro demolishes Tiger with the Super armdrag, is knocked down Pólvora only so he can spin to his feet and quebradora him, and monkey flips Misterioso. Fantasma does headscissors and casadora to the rudos. Tiger's kicks only get him enziguried. Quebradora on the floor for him too. Enough people left in the crowd to make a big noise when Fantasma takes off his shirt. Stuka and Misterioso are counting each other up until the other rudos pull Stuka out. Beatdown from there. Stuka gets rammed backside first into the post. Tiger manages to hold of metro on his own as the other rudos make their way back in the ring. Double flapjack/dropkick sends him back out. Fantasma handsprings into Tiger's backcracker, and that does it.
3: Beatdown continues with corner charges and the like. Stuka turns around a whip from Tiger and quebradora him, but the other two wake up and stomp down Stuka before he can do more. Metro side steps a Tiger corner charge, he takes the knee bump out, Metro headscissors Pólvora and a kick Misterioso. Misterioso is able to backdrop Metro to the apron, but Metro slips him back to Stuka. Fireman's drop sets up Misterioso, while Metro does his ramp dive – plancha this time, safer idea. Stuka does the blind plancha to the floor instead of the splash on Misterioso, Fantasma instead coming with the Phantom Lariat. That'll do it.
Match 4: Ángel de Oro, La Máscara, La Sombra vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Terrible, Último Guerrero
Arena Mexico, 12/13/2011

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 10:31
Rating: OK
Notes: Ref is Maya.
1: Dragon Rojo is running away from Angel de Oro before the match has even started. I have no idea why. Well, person who lives in the future a week after this match was taped knows where they're going, but nothing in particular happened with them last week. Guerrero and Mascara start of with a short but complicated mat bit. Dragon Rojo runs from Angel de Oro more, and eventually they let Terrible and Sombra start. They don't get far before making tags. Angel de Oro dropkick Dragon Rojo as he he comes in, so I guess he can't leave this time. Neither of his two dropkick connect too well. Oro handspring bit meets dropkick, and beatdown from there. Dragon sits on Angel de Oro and punches him in the face a bit before going for his mask. Other two pairs split up for a bit. Dragon Rojo drags Angel de Oro up the ramp, then has to walk all the way back himself to do his overly complicated dropkick bit. Does get the pin this time. Again, the giant twitter plug totally a finish. Maybe no graphics when it's obvious the match is wrapping up? Maybe don't make the graphics gigantic?
2: Senton de la Muerte on Mascara. He also starts the comeback. Angel de Oro and Dragon Rojo get center stage, but Terrible cuts him of from a dive. Terrible misses a corner charge, and that sets up the finish. Feuding guys fight between falls.
3: Sombra looks athletic against Guerrero and picks a bizarre time to put on a submission hold on Terrible. Dragon Rojo breaks that up and kicks Oro as he comes in. Oro comes back with a missile dropkick, and knocks him out with a self boost dropkick. Terrible gets him, Sombra gets him, Guerrero gets him, Mascara gets him with a superkick. Técnicos regroup in the ring – double tope, Angel de Oro sliding on the apron. Dragon Rojo back in and kicking at him, but gets a superkick. Top rope headscissors, quebradora on the floor. Other técnicos in, they wrap it up.
Feuding people feud after the match.
