Revelation of the week: America
Move of the week: Huracan Sevilla's front somersault plancha dive onto
Bestia Salvaje from the top turnbuckle to the arena floor.
First Match:
Vulcano (Mexico), Tony Arce (Mexico), and Roco Valente (Mexico) (heels)
vs. Blue Demon (masked - Mexico), Super Astro (masked - Mexico), and
Filoso (masked - Mexico?) (faces); Roberto Rangel and ? (referees)
faces win 2/3 falls.
This was the TV debut of Filoso (meaning "keen" or "sharp edged." I
expect to see him named as Revelation of the week on the next
broadcast. My first impression was positive.
First Fall: Blue Demon pins Vulcano with a perfect plex.
Second Fall: Filoso is pinned by all 3 rudos.
Third Fall: Roco Valente submits to Filoso. Just before this, Super
Astro executed a great plancha dive where he threw somebody out of the
ring (don't remember who), then did one of his fake planchas (runs up
to the ropes, then grabs the top and middle rope like the handles on a
pommel horse and swings through the ropes and back into the ring), then
grabbed the top rope, catapulted himself head first over it and down
onto the hapless rudo on the arena floor.
Second Match:
Javier "Monarca" Cruz (Mexico), Bestia Salvaje (Mexico), and Blue
Panther (masked - Mexico) (heels) vs. Ultimo Dragon (masked - Japan),
Apolo Dantes (Mexico), and Kato Kung Lee (Panama) (faces); Pepe Casas
and ? (referees); faces win 2/3 falls.
First Fall: Kato Kung Lee pins Blue Panther after a flying head butt
from the second rope.
Second Fall: Bestia Salvaje pins Ultimo Dragon after a plancha from the
top turnbuckle.
Third Fall: Apolo Dantes pins Blue Panther.
Third Match:
Los Intocables (Pierroth, Jr. (masked - Mexico), Masakre (Mexico), and
Jaque Mate (masked - Mexico) (heels) vs. Los Infernales (Satanico
(Mexico), MS-1 (Mexico), and Pirata Morgan (Mexico) (heels); Pepe Casas
and Roberto Rangel (referees); Los Infernales win in straight falls.
A rematch between these top heel teams turned out just like last week's
encounter. It even looks like Los Intocables might be turning face. In
any case, Los Intocables looked muy tocable in this match (Intocable
means "Untouchable"). They usually come to the ring in 30s-style
Chicago gangster gear - black hats and trench coats.
First Fall: Los Infernales do a real Pearl Harbor job on Los Intocables
as the ring announcements are being made, and all 3 of them pin Jaque
Mate.
Second Fall: The Untouchables never recover from their first fall
thrashing, and The Damned (or Infernal Ones) won again by pin (couldn't
see who pinned who because the cameras were concentrating on an
out-of-the-ring brawl).
Fourth Match:
Cien Caras (Mexico) and Perro Aguayo (Mexico) vs. Conan (Florida, USA)
and Sangre Chicana (California, USA); Pepe Casas and Roberto Rangel
(referees); God only knows who won :-)
This was a very strange booking from the get-go. Cien Caras and Conan
both hate Perro Aguayo's guts and have thrashed him on numerous
occasions. Sangre Chicana has been wrestling as a rudo of late, while
Perro Aguayo has been wrestling as a tecnico (both fairly recent
turns). Conan and Cien Caras have been feuding for months, and doubly
so since Cien Caras took Conan's CMLL world heavyweight title in a
screwjob at the hands of the late referee El Gran Davis. The teams
spelled trouble right up front and there were no surprises - or were
there? :-)
First Fall: Conan drop kicks Perro Aguayo from the top turnbuckle and
pins him.
Second Fall: Perro Aguayo does his patented double-foot stomp to the
gut from the top turnbuckle on Conan and pins him. The obviously
debilitated :-) Conan will sit out most of the next fall.
Third Fall: Sangre Chicana does an obvious job for Cien Caras (he lays
down in the middle of the ring and allows Cien Caras to pin him with
one foot), then both immediately jump Perro Aguayo and beat the living
shit out of him, starting with a throw into the third row of
spectators.
Perro hard way juices pretty freely at this point (he has one of those
Dusty Rhodes-Carlos Colon foreheads with maximal scar tissue - the kind
that juices from the impact of the photons if the ring lights are too
bright). After they pound on him pretty good for quite some time, Conan
comes to, sees what's happening, and begins beating on his former
"partner" Sangre Chicana and his long time enemy Cien Caras. Perro
Aguayo is *really* juicing by this time.
At this, Perro Aguayo offers his hand in friendship and Conan - at
first reluctantly - returns the offer and both men embrace.
Surprisingly, the referees consult with a CMLL official and raise the
hands of Conan and Perro Aguayo in victory. Given that they weren't a
team entered in the contest, this made no sense at all - but then, what
ever *does* make sense in pro wrestling?
