CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for 8/19/07

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol
For the show that aired on Aug. 19, 2007

Atlantis vows to beat Rey Bucanero tonight and win the Light Heavyweight Title. Rey said he know Atlantis is a good wrestler but if he wants to win, he'll have to work hard for it.

Nosferatu, Virus, Satanico                 vs             Tony Rivera, Fabian El Gitano, Leono

1st Fall:  Leono and Satanico start it off slowly, exchanging holds. Fabian gives Virus a spring board arm drag to the outside. Fabian does a moonsault to the outside on Nosferatu. Rivera does a missile drop kick on Satanico and pins him. Leono does a face buster on Virus and submits him with a crossface.

The interview is with Metalico, formerly Tigre Metalico.

2nd Fall:  Rivera takes turns trading moves with all 3 rudos. Rivera does a spring board elbow to Nosferatu, then gives him a head scissors from the apron to the floor. The rudos trap Leono in their corner and beat him up a bit. Satanico throws Leono around by the hair. The rudos put Rivera's head band around his eyes, blinding him, and throw him around too. Virus and Satanico toss Leono into Nosferatu who spears him. Virus and Satanico stretch Leono by the limbs and Nosferatu stands on him, and the refs make the 3 count.

El Arte Del Catch: Tony Salazar with two wrestlers demonstrates a hold called El Nodo Rosa, kind of a double underhook chicken wing.

3rd Fall:  Nosferatu gets a swastika on Rivera but Leono breaks it up. Leono drops an elbow on him, but Satanico breaks up that pin. Satanico gets an arm lock on Leono but Fabian breaks that up. Virus gets a half crab on Fabian but Rivera comes off the top with a double ax handle knocks him off. The rudos go into a beat down of the tecnicos, beating them up one by one. Nosferatu topes Fabian. Satanico submits Rivera to Nodo Rosa, Virus submits Leono to a version of the Tequila Sunrise. Rudos win.

Metalico shows off his tattoos, and explains them, saying they all mean something.

CMLL Light Heavyweight Title:
(C) Rey Bucanero                     vs                 Atlantis

1st Fall:  They seem to join this in progress with these two already wrestling and exchanging holds and moves back and forth. Several near falls back and forth. After several more near falls, Rey rolls up Atlantis from behind and pins him for the 3 count.

The trivia question is which question offered Atlantis an opportunity to be his heir?

Metalico tells the story of when he tried a moonsault and missed, hitting his head on the concrete floor, his head was bleeding, he wanted them to remove his mask, because he was choking on his own blood. He doesn't remember much about it, he said Brazo De Oro was there telling him he was gonna be alright he doesn't really remember that. He had a near death experience, he put his life in God's hand he says, and he somehow saw his son and wanted to live for him.

The answer to the question was El Solitario, who offered him the chance to be Solitario Jr. or Hijo but he wanted to be Atlantis.

2nd Fall:  Very short fall, Atlantis power bombed Rey and pinned him with his feet on the ropes. The refs didn't see it.

This time Salazar demonstrates El Cavernario. Kind of a surfboard using the head.

Metalico is grateful to Shocker because he got his start in the Guapos search from years ago.

3rd Fall:  The seconds were Emilio Charles Jr. for Atlantis and Maximo for Rey. Rey did a Mortal on Atlantis. Atlantis applies a Cavernario on Rey, Rey gets out. Atlantis gets Rey in an upside down Gory Special but Rey rolls off and rolls him up, Atlantis rolls the other way for a near fall. Atlantis gets a few more near falls. Atlantis power bombs and gets another near fall on Rey. Atlantis does a swanton bomb on Rey but Rey kicks out at 2. Rey gets some near falls on him, one with an inverted 'rana. Atlantis does a huricanrana on him but Rey rolls through it and gets a two count. Atlantis tosses Rey out of the ring and does a tope to him. Atlantis does a cross body off the top but Rey rolls through it and gets a near fall on him. Rey does a sunset flip but Atlantis rolls back the other way and tries a pin using the ropes, but Rey kicked out. Rey does his underhook power bomb but Atlantis kicked out at 2. Atlantis rolls him up for a 2 count. Atlantis went for his Atlantida but Rey wiggled out. Rey rolls up Atlantis and this time pins him for the 3 count and the win. Rey retains his title. Atlantis says he likes wrestling wrestlers as good as Rey but he wants a rematch. Rey says he too liked the match, but he wants a hair vs mask with Atlantis, Atlantis reponse was to kick him down.  I was impressed with Atlantis, he can really wrestle when he wants to.

Good show for the most part, and it was my birthday. My reviews are at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com
