CMLL Lucha, Pt. 2
Dave Fields
Rangel (referee); Mascara Sagrada wins two of three falls.
This match was for the CMLL Light Heavyweight Championship (Campeon de
Peso Semi-Completo). Challenger Pirata Morgan was led to the ring by a
real babe -- a long legged brunette in a bikini, black knee-high
leather boots, and a patch over her right eye. Champion Mascara Sagrada
was led to the ring by another long-legged, curvy babe, this one a
blonde, also in a bikini, but with heels instead of boots. This, folks,
was definitely the highlight of the match. The wrestlers were both
seconded by the midget equivalents, Mascarita Sagrada and Piratita
Morgan.
First Fall: Pirata opens with the old hand shake ploy. Mascara Sagrada,
of course, falls for it and takes a boot in the gut and a toss across
the ring for his naivete. Pirata goes for Mascara's left knee and works
it, Arn Anderson style. This continues, with little variation, for the
next 10 minutes or so. Eventually Mascara Sagrada breaks out for good
and puts Pirata in a headlock. More yawns. After some time, Mascara
does a plancha from the second rope, follows Pirata to the mat, and
puts him in a top wrist lock. Some slow mat work, then an unsuccessful
sunset flip pin attempt by Mascara leads to more mat work. Finally,
Mascara gives Pirata a back body drop, then puts him in a figure-four
leglock, which Pirata submits to.
Second Fall: Mascara opens quickly with a drop kick and another
figure-four attempt, but Pirata makes it to the ropes and the referee
breaks the hold. Mascara drags Pirata to the center of the ring and
makes another attempt, but is kicked off. He tries again and succeeds.
Pirata tries a rolling reversal but is unsuccessful, and both men
eventually roll off the apron onto the arena floor, still locked in the
figure-four. After they rest for awhile (God knows why they needed to
rest - this could have been Hulk Hogan against the Ultimate Warrior as
far as work rate goes), Pirata back body drops Mascara, then power
bombs him. Roberto Rangel warns Pirata for choking, so Morgan throws
the Sacred Mask out of the ring. When Mascara crawls back into the
ring, Pirata Irish whips him into the corner turnbuckle, then puts him
into an airplane spin and pins him. Yawn.
Third Fall: Pirata opens by clotheslining Mascara, then throwing him
out of the ring. Mascara recovers, then mounts the top turnbuckle and
tries a cross body press, but misses. He recovers quickly and puts
Pirata through a tilt-a-whirl back breaker, knocks him out of the ring,
and does on of those suicide planchas through the ropes. After they
both recover and re-enter the ring, Mascara tries several pin attempts,
but no luck. Mascara then does a back flip moonsault from the top
turnbuckle, but Pirata rolls him off at the count of three. Mascara
throws Pirata out of the ring again and does another suicide plancha,
but Pirata recovers. Mascara body slams him in the ring, then misses a
cross body press from the top rope. Pirata does the same, but Mascara
rolls him off at the three count. Pirata tries a back fall (hard to
describe) from the top turnbuckle, but Mascara rolls out of the way.
Mascara throws him out of the ring and does a monster plancha, head
first from the top turnbuckle, knocking them both out
