For the show that aired on May 27, 2007

Tigre Metalico, Maximo, Felino           vs          Ephesto, Canek Jr., Pierroth

1st Fall:  Metalico and Ephesto start it off, grappling around. Then Pierroth and Maximo get in and Pierroth starts chopping him, the rudos then get in and start a beat down on the tecnicos. Pierroth pulls in Que Monito and they slap him around a bit. Canek Jr. lariats Felino, Maximo gets more chopping. They kick Tigre together. They start kicking Felino together also, but he makes a comeback as do his partners. Tigre throws Pierroth into the post, Monito jumps on him. They lariat Ephesto, and Maximo gives him a butt bump, Tigre and Maximo pin him together. They do much the same thing to Canek Jr. only no butt bump, Maximo kisses him instead, and Felino suplex's Canek Jr. and they all pin him to win this fall.

More of the interview with Negro Casas, he tells a story of going to an arena, but the promoter tells him his father isn't there yet, and if he doesn't show, he will be punished for it. They ask Negro to take his place, Negro told them  he had no gear, they got him some, and he was real skinny he said but he wrestled Juan Ramirez, but it was all a plan, his father was there, he just wanted him to wrestle. After the commercial he displays the rope belt he use to wear when he was wearing a robe studying in the clergy.

2nd Fall:  When this fall began, Esphesto and Tigre are going at it once again. Tigre gives him a quebradora outside the ring, Maximo drop kicks Canek Jr. a few times, then arm drags Ephesto. Felino and Pierroth shake hands even embrace, but they are soon fighting again. It looked like Felino was going for a Casita but Pierroth low blowed him and pinned him. But the ref immediately Disqualifies Pierroth and gives the win to Felino and his team. Tecnicos win in two straight falls.

Negro displays his bible, and talks about God and religion, saying everything he is and has he is grateful to God because of it. After the commercial Negro says he went back to Panama 5 years later and met his wife again, and brought her back to Mexico. (That would have made her 16).

Ultimo Dragon, Minoru Suzuki, Takayama              vs          Atlantis, Utimo Guerrero, Olimpico

1st Fall: During the insert, Suzuki and Takayama do promo's in Japanese. Dragon and Ultimo start it off. Dragon gets an armbar on Utimo but Suzuki came in and started stomping Ultimo, Dragon took offense and pushed Suzuki. Dragon gave Ultimo a corkscrew head scissors, but Takayama and Suzuki came in and stomping Ultimo. Dragon got upset. Dragon slammed Ultimo and went up but Suzuki and Takayama pulled Ultimo away before Dragon could come off the top rope. Takayama gets Olimpico in a sleeper hold like headlock and submits him. Takayama gives Ultimo a back drop and a knee lift and pins him. The Guerrero mini, Ulty Monito came off the top rope, but Takayama caught him and placed him on the top rope. Suzuki slaps him around.

Tony Rivera talks about his move with Tigre Blanco where he gets catapulted by someone into a silla on someone outside, he calls it the Rivera Driver.

Negro says Lucha Libre has given him alot but has taken alot also, he says he regrets missing anniversaries and birthdays of his daughters, and school events, but if he had it to do all over again he would still go into wrestling, that he doesn't regret.

2nd Fall:  Suzuki begins this one punching away at Ultimo. The Japanese seem more interested in beating than wrestling, Dragon doesn't participate in the beatings. Takayama and Suzuki take turns kicking Ultimo until Takayama misses and hits Suzuki and that begins the comeback for Los Guerreros, Atlantis does a missile drop to Takayama who doesn't sell it, he's bigger than anyone there, but Ulty Monito from outside throws powder in Takayama's face and they all 3 Guerrero's pin him. Atlantis submits Dragon with La Atlantida.

Tigre Blanco talks about his move which is a moonsault from the ropes to the outside, he said it's very difficult, and takes alot of practice and timing. Watch it but don't try it, he says.

Negro's wife Dalys, says he's a great husband and father.

3rd Fall:  A bit of stalling in this fall as just stand around with Dragon still trying to reason with his team mates. Takayama is big, almost the size of Terry Gordy. The Mexican team is beating on Takayama and Suzuki, with kicks and lariats. After Suzuki takes Ultimo's move the headstand in the corner, bronco buster thing, Suzuki looks into the camera and smiles. They do the same thing to Takayama, Dragon is just standing there doing nothing. Dragon does finally start wrestling giving them arm drags and the reverse tope to Ultimo. Suzuki holds Ultimo for Dragon, Takayama tosses him into them but Ultimo moves and he hits Suzuki. The same thing happens with Takayama but Ultimo was making gestures telling Dragon he was going to do that. Olimpico jumps over the top rope onto Suzuki and Takayama but they caught him, Atlantis does one too on top of them. Ulty Monito holds Dragon for Ultimo but Dragon moves and Ultimo kicks the evil monkey. Ultimo power bombs and pins Dragon but Ultimo had his feet on the ropes. Los Gurreros Del Atlantida win. Dragon tells the ref. and now everybody is mad at him, Los Guerreros and his own team mates start beating him down, that's 5 on 1.

Ultimo talks about his move the head stand bronco buster thing which he has named El Veneno Gurrero. (how about just the VG).

Negro talks about the 440 thing, explaining it and saying it basically represents perfection.

When they come back, Los Guerreros are now posing in the ring with Takayama and Suzuki now the best of friends. Having found a common enemy. Ultimo challenges Dragon to a mask vs mask match.

That wraps up the show, and for the first time during the last match they plug a match for next week, they say next week they'll have Mistico, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Memphisto, Ephesto. This matches were pretty good. My reviews are at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com

Galavision AAA Lucha Libre Report for 5/26/07

Galavision AAA Lucha Libre Report
For the show that aired on May 26, 2007

This was the show they've been building up to, titled, La Zona De Guerra.

It opens with a tribute to Octagon, a review of his career, including his wife and 3 daughters.

Antifaz & Histeria are talking smack about Laredo Kid & Super Fly when they round a corner and run right into them, they claim to be the best team around, they are interrupted by Zumbido & Alan Stone who claim they are best team around. They are interrupted by Gran Apache & Super Calo claiming they are the best team around.

Tag Team Elimination Tournament:
Antifaz & Histeria                  vs                  Laredo Kid & Super Fly

1 Fall:  There was probably an edit here as they begin with Los Vipers beating down Laredo Kid. They then toss around and beat up the Fly. Histeria tries a pin, but Laredo bridges out, Histeria counters that by giving him a reverse suplex. They go for another pin but his time, Histeira picks him up at 2. They beat up and almost pin Fly but pick him up at 2 also. They power bomb both Fly and Laredo, and Antifaz and Hiseria do frog splashes to them but again pick them both up at the 2 count. They try splashes but the Air Force get up and get out of the way. There was no real tecnico comeback because both Fly and Laredo hit dual German Suplex Bridges and pin both Antifaz & Histeria together, winning this match. Antifaz and Histeria are eliminated. This was a strange match, the Air Force got in nothing, except the winning move. I guess they were conserving themselves.

Zumbido & Alan Stone                vs                        Laredo Kid & Super Fly

1 Fall:  The Guapos run out and attack the Air Force just as their intros began, poor Rivera never got a chance sing Stone's song. The Air Force are getting another beat down, but a more animated one this time. They chop and kick Fly. They pick up Laredo together and toss him over the top to the floor below. The Air Force launch a comeback this time, Fly does an enzuigiri to Stone. They do an extended crowd shot here, probably an edit. Zumbido does a plancha outside to Laredo. Stone does a spring board plancha to Laredo. Fly flips across the ring and flips backward over the top rope onto Zumbido below. Laredo and Stone exchange some fast moves. Laredo does a 450 splash from the top and pins Stone for the win. This was a pretty good match, better than the last one. Fly and Laredo move on to the 3rd match.

Gran Apache & Super Calo               vs                   Laredo Kid & Super Fly

1 Fall:  As Apache and Calo were coming down the aisle, Laredo and Fly do dual topes to them both. Calo does a diving head butt on Fly, the commentators openly talk about Calo being one of the Stone brothers. Apache does a swanton bomb from the top on Laredo, but Fly saves him. The Air Force launch yet another come back. Laredo does a missile drop kick to Apache. Calo does a spring board moosault to Fly, gets a 2 count. Calo tried a tope or something but Laredo got out of the way, and Calo crashed below. Laredo does a torneo to Calo below. Fly armdrags Apache from the top but gets a 2 count. Super Fly then gets a small package on Apache and pins him for the win. Fly and Laredo win the tourney. Calo and Apache beat down Fly and Laredo after. They then follow Fly and Laredo in the back, and running into La Secta, the Air Force get beat down yet again, as Konnan and Mesias laugh. When Apache and Calo reach that area they also get attacked and beat down, La Secta was hitting them with an empty gas can.

Fuerza Guerrera, Octagon, Pirata Morgan, Alebrije        vs            Mr. Niebla, Scorpio Jr.,  Juventud Gurrera, Super  Porky

1 Fall:  I soon lost track of who was on who's side, everybody fought everbody else anytime they wanted, It seemed more like an elimination tourney. Porky goes around chopping everybody, they all attack him together. When ref. Copetes Salazar hit Porky, they all hit him too. Porky and Morgan exchange moves, sort of. Porky does a bronco buster on him. Fuerza and Juvie fight, Juvie jumps over the top rope onto Fuerza. Niebla does a reverse tope on Morgan. Alebrije and Morgan fight. Alebrije does a reverse tope to Morgan. See what I mean about losing track of who's on who's team. Cuije tried a running senton but he missed completely. Porky comes in and splashes and pins Alebrije, he's gone. Initially Fuerza and Scorpio attack Octagon, but Fuerza switched sides and he and Octagon go after Scorpio, they put a dual hold on him and submit him together. Does that make sense? Porky does a plancha from the apron onto Niebla. Juvie does a 'rana on Morgan and gets a 2 count, then a 2 count the other way. The ref took a bump during another extended crowd shot, then Morgan low kicked Juvie, then Juvie low blowed Morgan. The ref DQ'd both of them, and raised both their arms.  Both  won or lost depending on how you look at it. Confusing. Then La Secta and the Vipers come out and attack the tecnicos, the rudos are not attacked. Niebla throws Cuije three rows deep into ringside.

Octagon answers some questions from someone or other.

Notas/News:  They show pictures of Cibernetico all cozy with a blond, not Estrellita. Wondering who she is.
Konnan saying Ciber is ungrateful he helped Ciber get started in AAA. And the injury has cost him alot of money but he will be back.
The Mexican Powers saying they have alot of experience with ladder matches and are a sure thing to win this one.

Ladder Match:
Joe Lider & Psicosis & Crazy Boy              vs             Scoria & Cuervo & Ozz

1 Fall:  La Secta attacks and the beat down is underway. Lider is slammed on the ladder. Psicosis is thrown into the ladder in the corner. They put a ladder on Crazy's crotch and hit it with a chair. A big ladder is thrown into the MP's. Psicosis drop kicks a ladder into Cuervo. They put a ladder on Cuervo and drop Lider on it. Scoria gets hit with 2 ladders, one in front one in back. Crazy from the top sends a ladder into Ozz, Ozz kicks out at 2 even with all 3 MP's on top of him. Cuervo throws Crazy into a ladder in the corner. Crazy puts a ladder across the 2nd rope, and both he and Cuervo go up. Cuervo fights back, and Crazy goes through the ladder, Lider saves him. Ozz hit Lider with a chair. Ozz tried a spring board but Lider caught him and gave him a vertibreaker on a ladder. Scoria saved him. Scoria back drops Lider on to a ladder. Psicosis saved him. Psicosis puts a ladder on Scoria and comes off the top with a chair under him, Psicosis jumps the top rope onto Cuervo and Scoria. Psicosis holds them so that Crazy can kick the ladder into them. Crazy climbs a tall ladder in the ring and does a moonsault to everybody outside. Psicosis does a Fireman's Carry slam on Lider from the top of a ladder and pins him for the win. Secta wins, they are joined by the Vipers and they beat up the Mexican Powers.

They try to interview Zorro, but Zorro says nothing.

Mesias does a promo saying what he said last week about lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place and they will get to see the passion of Mesias.

Abismo Negro threatens Elejido, saying he can't dance his way out of the cage. And re-issues his threat to Latin Lover saying he will leave him bald.

CAGE MATCH:
Chessman      vs    Abismo Negro     vs     Mesias       vs    El Elejido     vs     Zorro     vs   Cibernetico

1 Fall:  Elejido came out wearing a Predator mask, but took it off before he entered the cage. After the commercial the fighting had begun with everybody fighting at the same time. Elejido put a chair on Abismo's crotch and hit it with another chair. Abismo tried to leave but was pulled down. Zorro wraps his legs around Abismo and tried to unmask him. Mesias tosses Zorro into the cage wall. Abismo tried to leave again was caught by Elejido. Mesias tried to leave, Zorro pulled him down. Elejido tried to leave, Abismo pulled him down. Ciber tossed a chair at Abismo. Mesias suplexed Zorro. Chessman and Ciber tried to leave but are pulled down. Elejido is the first to climb up and leave the cage. Zorro climbed up but Absimo pulled him down. Mesias speared Ciber. Mesias power bombed Zorro, but on a second attempt Zorro caught the cage wall and climbed up and left the cage. Abismo's crotch again gets the chair on chair treatment. Chessman has Abismo's head sticking through the hole in a chair, choking him. They set up a table in the ring, and put Abismo on it, but he got off just as Chessman went up. Mesias climbs to the very top of the cage, but instead of leaving, he does a splash from there to Chessman in the ring  below. Ciber speared Mesias and put him on the table, Chessman climbs up the top of the cage and does a moonsault from there but Mesias got off the table and Chessman goes through the table which shatters on contact. Amazing spot. Abismo hit Ciber with a chair. Abismo get his spray can lights it on fire and brings it close to Ciber. Abismo wraps the broken table around Chessman and does a splash to it from the second rope. They are hitting and choking Ciber and Chessman with pieces of the broken table. Abismo hit Chessman with a chair just as a Doctor and stretcher bearers enter the cage. They carry Chessman out of the cage as Mesias hits Chessman with a piece of the broken table and a stretcher bearer also. Ciber is now alone with Absimo and Mesias. They give him a double suplex. Abismo misses a splash as Ciber moves, and Ciber mounts a one man come back. But just then the Secta, the Vipers, the Legion come out, but they are followed by all the tecnicos in the back. The Secta/Viper/Legion group are surrounded and chased to the back. Ciber is fighting Abismo and Mesias. Abismo then climbs and leaves the cage. Mesias hits Ciber with a chair. Mesias climbs up the cage but changes his mind and goes back to deal out more punishment. Zorro climbs the cage from the outside and tosses his kendo stick to Ciber. Who beats Mesias with it. He then chokeslams Mesias and climbs and leaves the cage. Ciber wins or Mesias loses depending on how you look at it. Ciber gets on the mic and says he is grateful for Zorro's help but he stil isn't sure where Zorro stands and needs more proof or a show of faith of where his allegiances lay. Zorro then removes his mask and hands it to Ciber and says how's that, he said it's been a year of him wearing that mask, but now Ciber can keep it. Zorro had a full beard. Ciber is convinced saying from now on anybody who picks on Zorro has to deal with the Hell Brothers too.

And that wraps up the show. The second and third match of the tag team tourney and the cage match were good. The incredibles match was a mess. The ladder match was about what you would expect. My reviews are at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com

Guadalajara Show for 2/3/07

Guadalajara Show For Feb. 3rd, 2007

Once again the date is an approximation. It should be that weekend. The anchors are two young guys constantly goofing around they take some getting use to.

Anthrax, Evola, Carlo Roggi vs Danger, Depradator, Perro Loco

3rd Fall: The rudos won the first fall not shown, the tecnicos the second, here Anthrax, Evola, and Carlo win this one only the ending of which is show, with Anthax and Evola having Danger and Depredator in camel clutches. Evola challenged Depredator to a hair vs hair.

Emilio Charles Jr., Pierroth, Hijo De Pierroth vs Stuka Jr., Mascara Purpura, El Gallo

1st Fall: This fall is picked in progress with the rudos already into thier beat down, Purpura is getting beaten up, they give him a gang facebuster. Stuka is gets beaten up a bit, then Gallo. Purpura is Alabama slammed by Pierroth. All 6 are fighting outside the ring, with Pierroth and Stuka in the aisle. All 6 are counted out of the ring, nobody made it back in, so this fall had no winner. Rare ending for a fall.

2nd Fall: The tecnicos are still getting stomped. Hijo de Pie is trying to unmask Stuka on the top rope. Hijo punched in the belly and Stuka removed his mask his full face was visible. On the other side, Emilio was trying to unmask Purpura. No one seemed interested in unmasking Gallo, who put on a brave front, but got beaten down right away. This goes on a while until Gallo is thrown into the ropes, Stuka catches him, and Gallo drop kicks Emilio starting the comeback. Purpura does a spring board missile drop kick to Pierroth. Purpura gets Pierroth's belt away from and him and whips him with it. All 6 go and fight outside the ring again, Uh Oh, and yes all 6 are counted outside again. If nobody won either fall why a 3rd fall?

3rd Fall: Gallo puts on some moves on Pierroth, this match has settled down. Gallo gave Hijo De Pie two quebradoras. Purpura starts kicking Emilio who does his spit his tooth out spot. Hijo De Pie and Emilio moved out the way of drop kicks by Purpura and Gallo, then lock on abdominal stretches on them. Stuka however fakes a foul by Pierroth and is awared the DQ win. The announcers are unique they were laughing through most of this match.

Tarzan Boy, Cien Caras Jr., Mascara Ano 2000 vs El Sagrado, Hijo De Lizmark, Shocker

1st Fall: Cien Jr. and Sagrado start it off, trading moves. Ano and Liz Jr. get in and stall big time. Liz Jr. gets an armlock but Tarzan kicks him off. They brawl around ringside for a while, Tarzan bites Sagrado and stands on him. They drop elbows on Liz Jr. then all 3 give him drop kicks. All 3 rudos pin him. Cien Jr. gives Sagrado a missile drop kick, and Tarzan pinned him to win this fall. Shocker gets beaten on, even the rudo ref was holding him.

2nd Fall: The tecnico comeback had begun as this fall started, Sagrado kicks Cien Jr. in the head. Liz Jr gives Ano a quebradora and a sidewalk slam and pins him. Sagrado did a code red on Cien Jr. and pins him. Tarzan was running from Shocker, and Shocker was threatening the rudo ref. Not long.

3rd Fall: Also picked up in progress. Tarzan and Shocker are fighting, Shocker monkey flipped Tarzan right out of the ring. Shocker did a stunner to Ano, then a facebuster to Cien Jr., Sagrado does a flying scissors to Tarzan, then another to Cien Jr., then an enzuigiri to Ano. Another big stall job, for a couple of minutes they just stood around doing nothing. Liz Jr. did a sunset flip to Cien Jr. who reversed it but got kicked accidently by Ano. Liz Jr. deals out superkicks to all 3 rudos. Shocker gives Tarzan a running bulldog. Shocker was having a good time, he kept dancing around while Tarzan was trying to fight him. Sagrado and Ano go down, Cien Jr. and Liz Jr. were going to do the star thing before they realized they were opposite teams. Liz Jr. and Sagrado do topes to Cien Jr. and Ano. Tarzan tries a huricanrana but Shocker rolled through it and pins Tarzan for the win.

That wraps up this show, not an espcially good one. That's the end of this tape, I gotta wait for the next tape to arrive, which I'm assured is on the way.

Guadalajara CMLL Show for 1/28/07

Guadalajara CMLL Show for 1/28/07

Here's the Guadalajara show as promised, not sure about the date, an educated guess.

Infierno and Esphesto vs Gallo and Toro Irison

1st Fall: Only highlights were shown not full action. Gallo did a moonsault off the ropes and pinned Esphesto. Toro submitted Infierno with an abdominal stretch.

2nd Fall:  Again highlights only: Both Infierno and Ephesto putting on a double hold on Toro and pinning him with it. They Stinger Splash Gallo, and submit him to a double arm stretch.

3rd Fall:  Gallo and Esphesto punch it out at first, then Espesto rushes Gallo in the corner and is met with feet. Gall then sunset flip's Espesto, but Infierno comes in but Toro sunset flip's him, but both rudos kick out at 2. Toro and Gallo are run into each other, but wait it was Toro and Espesto who were run into each other, Gallo and Infierno were about to do a double leg stretch when they realize they are on opposite teams, and stop. Gallo and Toro kick out of pins at 2. Gallo and Toro are both sunset flipped but both kick out at 2. Gallo does a plancha from the top post to Infierno outside. Toro is thrown into the corner by Ephesto, but Toro tries to do a head stand in the corner but Esphesto punches him in the crotch. Esphesto pins Toro to win for the rudos. Okay I guess what there was of it.

Eclispe, Olimpico, Atlantis    vs    Blue Panther, Heavy Metal, Shocker

1st Fall:  Panther and Olimpico start it off grappling around slowly. Panther got a full nelson on Olimpico but he forced his way out. Olimpico got on Panthers back and forced his arms back, Panther got out. Olimpico monkey flipped him. Panther picked up Olimpico, but Olimpico once up there flexed and rolled through. Heavy was getting booed, and started baiting the crowd. Eclispe flexed his muscles and Heavy fell on the floor laughing. Heavy did a few moves with Eclispe, then tested the crowd reaction, I guess it wasn't good, he didn't like it. Shocker and Atlantis are in and test crowd reactions. Shocker deals out a bunch of quebradoras to Los Guerreros, 4 alone to Olimpico, Panther comes in and locks Olimpico into a Boston Crab and submits him. Heavy comes in and does a Casita(Majistral) to Eclispe and pins him.

2nd Fall:  Panther did a rolling leg lock to Atlantis, but Eclispe came in and kicked him off. Eclispe misses a spear and hits the post. Olimpico sunset flips Panther but Heavy came in and kicked him off. Heavy and Olimpico exchange some very fast moves, then Atlantis came in and forearms him. Heavy traded moves with Atlantis for a short while then the rudo beat down began. In a clinch Eclispe low blowed Shocker, then did it a second time, but ref said it wasn't one. Eclispe and Atlantis throw Panther into Shocker, Atlantis ties Panther's mask laces to the top rope. In the meanwhile Eclispe pinned Shocker. Atlantis was punching away at Panther's head. The ref untied Panther. Rudos win this fall.

3rd Fall:  This fall begins with the tecnicos already having made a comeback. Panther does a cross body on Atlantis for a 2 count. Panther does a slow huricanrana on Atlantis for another 2 count. Atlantis got his Atlantida on Panther and Panther submitted. Panther wasn't the captain so the match continued. Heavy came in and did his Casita to Eclispe and pinned him, that's one for each side. Shocker did a head scissors roll up pin to Atlantis and got the win. This was a short fall, the first two were far longer. But this was a pretty good match once it got going.

Light Heavyweight Championship
Ultimo Guerrero              vs             Rey Bucanero(C)

1st Fall:  This fall begins in progress with Ultimo working an armlock on Rey. Ultimo spends a couple of minutes or longer just working the arm. Ultimo armdrags Rey a couple of times, then Rey schoolboys Ultimo and gets the 3 count. Short fall.

2nd Fall:  This was also picked up in progress, with Rey doing a flying head scissors to Ultimo. Rey was wrapping Ultimo's legs into a figure four when Ultimo small packaged him and pinned him. Less than a minute long.

3rd Fall:  Likewise picked up in progress, with Rey and Ultimo just laying there. Rey does a huricanrana and gets a 2 count on Ultimo. I don't how long this had gone without the editing but both these were exhausted by this point. Ultimo does a sunset flip on Rey and got a 2 count. Ultimo does a over the top rope bump to the floor, and Rey does a pescado to him over the top. Ultimo then locks on a Cavernaria(chinlock tapatia), for 30 seconds or so but Rey doesn't give and forces his way out. Ultimo hooked on a Gory Special, but Rey got loose, rolled forward for a near pin, but Ultimo rolled back for another pin. Ultimpo tried an inverted 'rana but Rey reversed it for another near pin. Ultimo clotheslines him twice, but Rey bounces back up and clotheslines him for another near fall. Ultimo power bombs Rey and tries a pin using the ropes but Rey kicked out. As Rey is pointing this out to the ref. Ultimo schoolboys Rey for another near fall. Ultimo goes up top and tries a senton, but Rey moved and he missed for another near fall. In the corner, Rey shoulder tackles Ultimo 3 times, then puts him up top and tries a huricanrana from the top, but Ultimo hung onto him, and power bombed him from the top, I thought this was it, but Rey kicked out at 2. Rey does his power bomb pin that I don't know what it's called but Ultimo kicked out at 2. Rey goes up, but Ultimo went up too and gave him a reverse superplex for another near fall. Rey then backslides Ultimo, the ref counted 3 but Ultimo got his shoulder up, the audience thought it was over, it wasn't. Rey then does a version of Carlito's back cracker but from the side and holding Ultimo's arm, he finally got the 3 count and the win. Rey keeps his title. This 3rd fall was very good, exciting.

This wraps up this show. Pretty good I liked it. One more show on my tape, another Guadalajara show, then I gotta wait for another tape. Will get to that show later in the week, hopefully.

AULL for 1/23/07

AULL show for 1/23/07

Here it is as promised, sorry it's a bit late but stuff came up. I finally got to see the turtles.

Pequeno Angel, Pequeno Demonio, Pequeno Rebelde    vs 
Cicloncito Ramirez, Mini Whiteman, Mini Batman

1st Fall:  Slow start with Mini Whiteman working a leg hold on Demonio, but Rebelde came in and kicked him off. Whiteman armdrags him around a few times. Rebelde is in next with Mini Batman, Rebelde took him down and applied a cross face, but Batman got out. They exchanged near pins by back sliding each other. Batman works on his work a while. Next in was Cicloncito with Angel. Cicloncito gave him flying head scissors, armdrags, and quebradoras. Demonio kicked Whiteman, and Whiteman back flipped him right out of the ring. Cicloncito was all set and gave Demonio a plancha from the top of the post. Whiteman jumped over the ropes onto Angel below. Batman did a reverse tope to Demonio and applied a Tequila Sunrise and submitted Demonio.

2nd Fall:  These mini's almost walk through their moves, not very fast paced. Mini Batman and Whiteman tape turns armdragging and putting some moves on the mini rudos. When Cicloncito gets in there he gets beaten up all  3, as the mini rudos begin thier beat down. Cicloncito gets his head kicked. Batman gets choked on the ropes. Whiteman gets Stinger splashed. Cicloncito draped halfway outside gets a leg dropped by Demonio. Batman is still getting choked by the rudos. The mini rudos cross Batman's arms across his own chest and pull, submitting him. Cicloncito gets a double suplex, then gets a double arm stretch by Demonio and Angel and submits.  Whiteman is just pinned.

3rd Fall:  As this fall starts the mini tecs are still getting stomped, Demonio jumps over the ropes with a senton to Cicloncito.  Angel picked up Whiteman on the 2 count by the ref. Soon after the mini tecs begin thier comeback. This match slows down even further, as both sides take turns trading basic moves. Demonio tried to do a huricanrana but Whiteman didn't go over. Cicloncito tried to do a 'rana on Angel but Angel just tossed him off. Batman tried a tope on Angel but he missed and sailed right over his head. Whiteman just slams Demonio and pins him for the 3 count.  Angel does a belly to belly suplex on Whiteman. Angel then does a snap suplex on Whiteman and pins him for the 3 count. Cicloncito gets a 2 count on Angel with a schoolboy. From outside Demonio trips Cicloncito and Angel schoolboys him for the 3 count and the win for the mini rudos. This was a slow match.

Hanaoka, Masusaki, Passion Hasekawa       vs
Los Porros: Angel O Demonio, Obett, Leon Rojo

1st Fall:  Hanaoka and Obett start it off slowly, wrestling around, exchanging holds. Demonio and Passion like wrestle and throw each other around a little. Leon Rojo comes in and clotheslines them around a few times. Obett does a 619 to Passion then a moonsault and pins him for the 3 count. Leon does a swanton bomb from the top and pins Masusaki, Obett did the same to Hanaoka.

2nd Fall:  Obett deals out quebradoras to all 3 Japanese rudos. The Japanese make a comeback a few minutes into this fall, kicking and punching Los Porros. Leon Rojo gets his arms stretched by Passion and Masusaki while Hanaoka stands on his back and he submits. Obett gets kicked in the head a few times and they do a reverse surfboard to him and he submits also. Demonio gets a swanton bomb by Hanaoka and pinned.

3rd Fall:  Leon is in a camel clutch by Hanaoka while Passion drop kicks his head. The rudo ref whatever his name was was helping the Japanese team every now and then, but as Passion would chop Demonio, Demonio would turn and chop the ref. The Japanese got on the shoulders of Los Porros, and Los Porros just dropped backward with them. The Japanese start getting beat down. Masusaki and Passion try moonsaults, but they pulled down. Obett does do a moonsault to them. Hanaoka and Demonio exchange near pins back and forth. Demonio then hits a Death Valley Driver on Hanaoka, dropping him on the back of his neck and pins him for the win. Porros win.

The Killer Family: Sadico, Rey Krimen, Sepulturero   vs

Olimpico is telling Eclipse the usual stuff about Los Guerreros being on another level, Eclipse is telling him he wants a title. In a strange bit Olimpico remarks about Eclipse getting bigger and wonders what he put in his body, Eclipse said only the gym, his body is naturnal and resents the implications. Olimpico is laughing about it. Can you imagine American Wrestlers joking about steriods? I sure can't.

They throw Panther directly into Maximo. Azteca drop kicks the back of Panther's legs. Maximo gets even more Stinger Splashes. Suddenly however Casas clotheslines Olimpico in the back of his neck and does his Casita and pins Olimpico for the win. Seemed odd right in the middle of the beat down.

Azteca leap frogged onto Maximo's chest with aid from his teammates. The beat down resumes quickly. Negro jumped off the top rope but Eclipse caught him and slammed him.

Eclipse is held in the corner for a running butt bump from Maximo. Maximo jumps off the apron onto Olimpico. Negro then his Casita and pins Azteca and Panther does his armbar and submits Eclipse. Tecnicos win. The commentator said Maximo once said he isn't gay, but his boyfriend is. I found that funny. The match was pretty good.
