AAA 3/4/2011 Puebla Review

AAA 3/4/2011 PUEBLA REVIEW

The show opens with clips of all the ongoing storylines and such, including the status of Mesías, Rey de Reyes, La Parka vs. Bizarros, and Dr. Wagner Jr. against La Sociedad.

 

1. Fenix, Lolita, Mari Apache vs. Billy Boy, Jennifer Blake, Sexi Star

"Una americana y una italiana"

Hijo del Tirantes is the referee, of course, being aligned with the Legión Extranjera/La Sociedad. Blake and Lolita start and exchange some alright holds for a brief period until the rudos jump in and clear house, then do a three on one attack on Mary and the girls hit her with a double suplex. Fenix tries to make the save but gets taken down and has his legs wishboned. On the outside, Mari grabs Sexi Star and gives her a quebradora con giro then throws her into the ring post. Lolita throws Jennifer back in the ring and hits a springboard headscissors on her to send her outside again but then gets kicked in the gut by Billy Boy, but then fights back and comes off the top with a headscissors to send him outside as well. Mari in now and faces off with Star, they go back and forth and Mari hits an armdrag and a shoulder block to Star to send her out but then gets dropkicked by Billy. Billy runs at Mari again but gets hit with a quebradora con giro and gets sent into the ropes again for a second. Fenix does a flip dodge out of the way of a Sexi Star kick, then climbs up top and nails a tornillo into a diving armdrag that looked absolutely amazing and then sends Billy out with two headscissors in a row and hits a great running moonsault suicida from the ring to the outside as Mari hits Sexi Star with a spinning heel kick and then goes up top and misses a senton. Double underhook piledriver by Sexi Star on Mari and she pins her for a two count. Sexi Star goes for a dropkick but Mari dodges and she connects on Hijo del Tirantes Mari slams Star again, goes up top and connects on the senton and Hijo del Tirantes recovers and groggily administers the three count. Good, fast-paced opener match without the usual Tirantes hijinks. Best part was Fenix being an incredibly flyer as usual. Afterwards, Sexi Star and Tirantes beat down Mari but Gran Apache makes the save again. Sexi Star grabs his hat and distracts him long enough for Tirantes to kick him from behind and nail him with a plastic seated chair right in the head. Hijo del Tirantes gets on the microphone afterwards and challenges Gran Apache to a match at Rey de Reyes. He says he will bring La Sociedad and tells him to bring his people, and that he is going to embarrass him.

 

2. Los Bizarros (Escoria, Nygma, Charly Manson) vs. Espiritu, Nicho, Joe Lider

Lider and Charly start, Charly hits an overhead belly to belly suplex and poses for too long, Lider comes up from behind and slams him down from the fireman's carry position. Espiritu and Escoria in now, Espiritu with an armdrag but Escoria recovers and hits an STO variation. Escoria sends Espiritu into the corner but he ducks to the apron, kicks Escoria in the head, and comes off the top with a diving armdrag then sends him outside with a headscissors and fakes a dive. Nicho and Charly now, Nicho knocks him down with a spinebuster and does a People's Elbow style leg drop for two. Escoria in now and takes down Nicho with a heel kick. Chairs are introduced into the match as the rudos lead a beatdown, Espiritu gets run throat first into a chair and Nicho gets one pulled out of his hands by the evil Hijo del Tirantes and gets nailed with a chair, then Lider gets taken down with chairshots as well and the rudos take control. Espiritu gets pulled off the apron and slams chin first against it by Charly and Escoria who then hold him up in a seated position on the apron and Nygma dropkicks him down HARD through the ropes for a pretty awesome double-team move. Inside again, Escoria holds Lider in the electric chair position and Charly leaps off Nygma's back and hits a backstabber that was just ugly. Nicho jumps in again and gets chopped hard by the rudos, beaten down and laid across Charly's knees for a legdrop off the top by Escoria. They use the chairs again across the backs of Nicho and Lider then set up Lider against the ropes but Espiritu jumps in to break it up. The brawl evens out now and Espiritu hits Escoria with a quebradora con giro followed by Lider and Nicho grabbing chairs and going after the rest of the rudos. Lider and Nicho send Escoria into the corner, then Nicho runs in awkwardly slow with a clothesline, then chops him a few times and sends him to the other side. Nicho puts Escoria on his shoulders and Lider comes off the top with a huge DDT to Escoria. Espiritu sends Nygma off the ropes and nails him with a powerbomb, then he gets sent off the ropes again and Nicho hits him with a clothesline, moving slowly and awkwardly again showing some sort of injury that he's fighting through here. Charly is back in with a chair and hits two of the técnicos but Espiritu dropkicks the chair into his face. Espiritu goes for a dropkick but Charly moves and Espiritu falls outside, then Charly hits an asai moonsault on him. Inside, Nygma and Nicho both go for dropkicks off the ropes at the same time and collide. Lider slams Escoria as we see Charly dumping a white powder (oh no) into his hands that he then takes a whiff of (dear lord) on the outside. Lider lifts Escoria to the top rope but Charly throws the powder in his eyes and Escoria hits a death valley driver off the second rope for a three count and Los Bizarros win the match. Decent match but really nothing special here. Afterwards, Nicho nails Nygma with a stunner and Escoria with a DDT at the same time and chases off Charly, but is then nailed with a kendo stick and gets a bunch of chairs laid across him and nailed with even more chairs until Zorro makes the save with his kendo stick and clears house. Zorro gets on the microphone and tells Charly that he might say he's Zorro's worst nightmare, but Zorro tells him at Rey de Reyes that he will be living a nightmare of his own.

Backstage, Lider and Nicho cut a promo on Los Bizarros saying they're going to team with Parka and destroy them at Rey de Reyes. Nicho loudly slams his golf club against a chair, just because he can!   

 

3. No DQ: Electroshock vs. Heavy Metal

Electroshock arrives and waits for Heavy as his music plays but he emerges from the crowd and smashes a guitar over the back Electroshock's head. Is he a Honky Tonk Man fan or a Jeff Jarrett fan? Electroshock bleeds from his forehead as Heavy drags him around ringside beating him up and throws him into a big black table against the barrier. Heavy goes to slam Electroshock into the table propped against the barrier but Electroshock reverses it and sends him through it. Electroshock sends Heavy into a ring post and knocks him over the head with a chair, then decides to chase after Heavy's valet and mini. The mini distracts Electroshock long enough and Heavy sends him down with a right hook then hits a beautiful snap suplex and an elbow drop. Heavy lifts him up again and goes to throw him out but Electroshock reverses it and sends him out again. Another big black table is slid into the ring by Electroshock and he props it up in the corner then hits Heavy with a kick in the back of the leg that sends him reeling into the corner. Electroshock  tries to whip heavy into the table but he slides to a stop in front of it and back drops a charging Electroshock through it. A normal looking table is introduced now by Heavy who is immediately knocked down and then whipped into the corner and clotheslined. They square off and Electroshock slaps him in the face but Heavy then just knees him below the belt, which takes Electroshock down for a moment but he fires back with a great spear and a flurry of punches. Electroshock unfolds a chair in the center of the ring and crotches Heavy on it then goes to dropkick him but Heavy dodges it. Heavy grabs the chair, sets it against Electroshock's face, and kicks it hard, but then stands around too long and gets nailed in the head with the chair by Electroshock. Electroshock stumbles toward him now as he struggles to recover and the two of them kneel on the mat trading shots. They knock each other down and stir to their feet slowly, with Heavy dragging Electroshock towards the table but Electroshock bodyslams him down. Electroshock lifts Heavy again and headbutts him then lays him across the table then heads up top. Electroshock goes for a leg drop but Heavy moves away and Electroshock goes through the table. Ultimo Gladiador and Silver King appear, looking for revenge on Electroshock. Gladiador climbs on the apron but Heavy doesn't want his help and knocks him off with a punch. Silver King tries to hand him an empty 40 oz bottle but Heavy won't take it. Electroshock grabs it from him and breaks it over Heavy's head and looks around for a second then covers him for the three count. Maniacos jump in the ring afterwards and beat down Electroshock.

Heavy Metal is backstage getting a nasty gash on his arm cleaned and he yells at his valet and mini for letting the Maniacos interfere in his match again. He seems wildly unconcerned with the enormous gash on his arm.

 

4. Rey de Reyes semifinal: Carlito Caribbean Cool vs. Jack Evans vs. Decnnis vs. Ozz

Everyone is in the ring already except Carlito who gets an entrance with Hijo del Tirantes. He immediately comes off as a bigger star here than the other three, though that is probably the intention after all. Decnnis charges at Jack who ducks and nails him with a spinning toe kick but gets thrown out of the ring by Carlito. Carlito ducks out of the way of Ozz, who flies out of the ring, and then goes to clothesline Jack, who backflips out of it and nails him with a front flip dropkick. Jack goes for a springboard moonsault on Decnnis who dropkicks him in the stomach in midair for a two count. Pumphandle powerslam by Decnnis for another two count. Carlito pulls Jack out and beats him up in the aisle as Decnnis and Ozz face off. Decnnis puts Ozz on the top rope but gets hit with a diving huracanrana by Ozz in his fancy black vest and then powerslammed by Ozz and covered for a two count that he breaks up with the most nonchalant shoulder lift ever, like someone waking up in the morning turning and slowly turning over. Ozz holds Decnnis for Jack to kick but Decnnis ducks and Jack nails Ozz with the spinning toe kick. Carlito and Decnnis team up on Jack and Ozz and dump Ozz to the outside then Decnnis nails Jack in the stomach with his helmet and hands it to Carlito who hits Jack with it as well. Double whip by Carlito and Decnnis sends Jack off the ropes but he does a backflip into a back elbow on the two of them. Ozz is back in and sends Decnnis off the ropes for a quebradora con giro and stomps him in the corner. Jack sits Carlito down in a chair on the floor and climbs to the top, Ozz flies outside with a tornillo onto Carlito and Jack hits a diving huracanrana onto Decnnis in the ring then nails him on the outside with a Sasuke special. Inside, lionsault attempt by Ozz is dodged by Carlito who then ducks a springboard plancha by Jack. Carlito stops Decnnis from punching him and tells him they're still working together. He goes in for the handshake but then pulls Decnnis in for a spinebuster and slams him. Big boot by Carlito to Jack and a superkick to Ozz but the three of them immediately jump Carlito in the corner. Ozz clotheslines him, Jack hits a handspring back elbow, and Decnnis pulls him up for a death valley driver and covers him but only gets a two count. Bossman slam by Ozz on Carlito band he covers but only a two count again. Jack hits a springboard spinning toe kick to Carlito and covers, but again only a two count. Carlito is dumped outside and Jack and Ozz go after Decnnis. Jack knocks Decnnis down with a spinning heel kick. Jack stands over him and screams VIVA MEXICO, the announcers laugh at him and Ozz grabs him and hits a backdrop. Big boot by Ozz sends Decnnis out and Carlito grabs Ozz from behind and nails him with a roll the dice and covers him for a three count and commercial break.

Carlito and Decnnis face off now, Decnnis rolls him up for a two count. Carlito charges and gets dumped to the outside. Jack jumps in the ring and pulls a backslide on Decnnis and flips over so he lays across Decnnis' legs and gets a three count for the second elimination. Clipped back to Carlito in the ring, Carlito slaps him and Jack kicks him hard in the leg and they trade back and forth, then Carlito sends Jack to the ropes. Jack flips over the ropes to the apron, blocks a punch, kicks Carlito in the head and hits a springboard knee to the face. Viva Mexico again with a twisting moonsault for a two count. Off the ropes again, backdrop attempt by Carlito, Jack flips out and kicks him in the gut then goes for a fisherman's suplex but gets blocked. Carlito holds Jack up for a delayed suplex then pulls him down and just crushes him with a roll the dice and covers for a two count, great near fall. Carlito pulls Jack up and drags him into the corner, whips him into the opposite and gets kneed in the face. Diving tornado DDT by Jack and he goes to the apron and attempts a springboard 450 but Carlito slides away. Carlito waits as Jack slowly stands with his back to him and goes for the backstabber but Jack reverses it into a casadora for a two count. Carlito throws a superkick that is ducked and a backslide by Jack gets another two count, Carlito rolls to his feet and superkicks Jack followed by a backstabber and a cover for the three count. A pretty good match, Carlito wasn't in the greatest form here but the section at the end with Jack was pretty great stuff.

Konnan arrives afterwards with Jennifer Blake and Sexi Star. He presents them as "una americana y una italiana", Sexi Star says "italiana?", and Konnan cusses at her and tells her to go with Carlito. He introduces Carlito as the newest member of the Légion Extranjera. Carlito asks if Sexi Star wears a mask because she's a man, which offends her obviously, and then tells Konnan that the only good thing about Mexico is Konnan's presence. He promises to bring pride and dignity to Mexico as the Rey de Reyes.

Backstage, Silver King is talking with Sociedad members when Konnan walks in carrying a barbed wire baseball bat wearing a Cardinals jersey, obviously sending a message to thecubsfan. Konnan recreates the speech from The Untouchables about baseball and teamwork and hits Billy Boy from behind with the bat and beats him down with it, just like in the movie. Konnnan proclaims that Billy is part of Los Bizarros and the other Sociedad members stand around frantically panicking in a  ridiculous fashion.

 

5. Los Maniacos (Ultimo Gladiador & Silver King) and L.A. Park vs. Cuervo, Extreme Tiger, El Mesías

Park gets on the microphone and makes fun of Mesías and tells the fans that he won't be coming tonight because Park beat him down and he's in the hospital. He yells at the fans and his voice cracks a bit which they jump all over him for. Park tells the técnicos that he'll send them with a message for Mesías because he's going to send them to the hospital too, and they attack. Silver King pulls Tiger up and hits him with a quebradora out of a razor's edge position. Mesías' music hits and a split screen shows him walking backstage to the ring. Wait, I thought he was in the hospital! He seems to be alright though. Mesías hits the ring and clears house of everyone except Park, who begs on his knees but attacks when Mesías turns around. Mesías ducks and hits Park with a clothesline who slides out of the ring and Mesías goes out after him and continues beating him down. Mesías throws him through a row of chairs in the crowd then chases after and everyone is brawling as we hit commercial break. Back and Mesías has a chair on the outside, but I don't know what he's doing with it because it clips to the ring where we have more brawling. Silver charges at Cuervo who dumps him out and hits a dive on him that we don't see because of horrible clipping. Gladiador and Mesías trade chops that send Gladiador down but Park jumps in and knocks Mesías down from behind then crotch chops him with the enthusiasm of a 12 year old who just watched DX for the first time in 1998 and then joyfully dances around. Park holds Mesías for Ultimo who gets kicked and Mesías tries to do a backflip off his knee but messes up terribly so it's clipped again to Mesías randomly on the top rope punching Silver King down to the mat. Headscissors by Mesías to Park then some sort of armdrag that went terribly, awkwardly wrong on Gladiador. Mesías ducks a clothesline from King then powerslams him down and Park ducks out of the ring to get away from Mesías. Right when Park jumps out the match clips to Park and Mesías in the center of the ring. Would be nice to know how this happened, but whatever. Mesías chops Park and Park chops him back harder and they trade back and forth. Park knocks Mesías down and whips him into the corner, Mesias then leapfrogs him and hits a sunset flip that Park rolls out of. They criss-cross the ropes a couple times and Mesías crushes Park with a spear and covers him for a two count. Just noticing now, but Mesías' hair is 33% straight, 33% braids, and 33% shaved. Also, 100% awful looking. Park rolls away from Mesías and kicks him in the head, walks him over to the ropes, then stands on the apron and gives him a neckbreaker through the ropes against the apron, really cool spot. King holds a chair on the apron and Park dropkicks it into Mesías' face. Park stalls for a bit then goes for a tope suicida but waited too long as Mesías slams him in the face with a chair as he comes flying through the ropes. All four others brawl in the ring now and the técnicos whip Los Maniacos into each other and do a double rollup spot for a two count. Ultimo superkicks Tiger, Cuervo dropkicks King, and Ultimo ducks a Cuervo clothesline then hits an enziguri. Ring clears again, Ultimo lays Tiger across a chair but when he climbs to the apron Tiger pulls him off smacking his chin against it. Tiger lays Ultimo in the chair now and hits a tope con giro before the commercial break.

Silver King and Cuervo face off, King charges at Cuervo in the corner for a splash but Cuervo dodges it. King reverses a whip and kicks Cuervo in the gut then sends him into the corner and clotheslines and bodyslams him down. Second rope moonsault by Silver but Cuervo gets his knees up as Park and Mesías run into the ring. Park kicks him in the stomach and grabs a chair but Mesías ducks it and spears him while Cuervo DDTs Silver King and they both go for cover at the same time and get the three count. This match was pretty rough considering all the cuts but it's hard not to enjoy anything L.A. Park is involved in, for me at least.

Carlito hits the ring after the match is over and beats down Mesías then Extreme Tiger as Park beats down Mesías. Park turns to Carlito and pushes him, Carlito pushes back, and they star to brawl, then Tiger jumps in and keeps fighting. Jack Evans, Espiritu, and Ozz all run in to break up the fight for some reason as Konnan and more people hit the ring to break it up. Everyone is held back except Extreme Tiger. Each guy breaks free once or twice and the brawl continues as the show goes off the air. A recap video of the show highlights airs, and a lead-in to Rey de Reyes.

AAA 2/28/2011 Guanajuato Review

AAA 2/28/2011 Guanajuato Review

1. Mini Psicosis, Mini Histeria, Mini Chessman vs. Octagoncito, Mascarita Divina, Mini Charly Manson

Charly and Chessman start, and Charly has him down for a pin early but Histeria breaks it up and screams at the crowd like a crazy person. Histeria and Charly now, the crowd chants for Charly and he runs at histeria in the corner but gets flipped onto the apron, then climbs up top and comes off at Mini Chessman with a missile dropkick. Really nice headscissors by Charly sends Histeria to the floor, Psicosis and Divina now in. Divina flies around the ring and hits a springboard plancha for two. He kicks Mini Psicosis right in the face with a seated dropkick then catches Chessman as he runs in with a great spinning armdrag. Octagoncito in now and he takes out Mini Chessman with a headscissors then armdrags Histeria who pops back up and knocks him down with a back elbow. More back and forth and Octagoncito hits a rollup but the rudos run in to break it up and beat him down and the rest of the técnicos. Triple team on Mini Charly and the rudos don't seem to know what to do with him for a second as Histeria just stands there on the top rope, but Psicosis drapes him across his knee and Histeria hits him with a leg drop. Divina in now who breaks up the rudos and the rest of the técnicos jump in to take over. Octagoncito sends Mini Histeria to the outside with a headscissors and then hits a springboard tornillo suicida. On the other side, Charly hits a plancha suicida on Psicosis, then Divina hits an asai moonsault on Mini Chessman. Inside the ring, Octagoncito flies in on Histeria with a diving armdrag, then the flying tijeras, then another armdrag into a cradle pin for the three count. Good stuff from the opening match minis here. I'm really impressed with Mini Charly Manson from what I've seen, I sure hope he has a better career path than his namesake.

The elder Roldan is in his office with La Parka and Dr. Wagner Jr. and they talk about the situation in AAA with the aggression from La Sociedad. Joaquin talks with Parka about his problems with Cibernético and Parka says he may not be able to help them out with defending AAA with all that has happened with him and Cibernético.

2. Electroshock vs. Heavy Metal

The little person and model that hang out with Heavy Metal come down the ramp but Heavy Metal comes out of the crowd to attack Electroshock, catching him off guard and beating him down until he falls out of the ring. Heavy Metal sprints and hits a tope suicida with a hard impact on the floor to both of them and Heavy's incredibly strange crew scatters. Heavy takes him up the stairs and suplexes him down hard onto the stage. They brawl through the crowd with Heavy in control, throwing chairshots at him and punches until Electroshock manages to whip him hard into the wall as Ultimo Gladiador and Silver King show up on the ramp with their belts. Electroshock takes control and drags him further throughout the crowd, hits him with a chairshot of his own and then tosses him over the barrier wall further into the crowd and jumps it after him. Electroshock grabs a cooler and tosses it back over the wall and takes Heavy Metal back over the wall with it, then gives him a stiff looking powerbomb onto the cooler that probably didn't feel too good for Heavy Metal. The tag champs continue to stand in the entrance way with chairs watching the match as Heavy and Electro fight up to the second tier of seating in the arena. Electro tries to slam him off the wall but is unsuccessful and Heavy fouls him which sends Electroshock off the wall and Heavy comes off after him with an axe handle smash. They finally work their way back towards the ring and brawl in the aisleway right by Silver King and Gladiador, Heavy takes a chair from them and hits Electroshock but is fouled by him right afterwards. The little person and valet girl jump Electroshock until they're pulled off by security, then Silver and Gladiador jump Electroshock and beat him down with a backstabber from Ultimo on the floor, then Silver King sets a chair up and hits Electro with a downward spiral on it. Electroshock slowly crawls into the ring and Heavy reluctantly crawls in after him, seeming a bit displeased by the interference and having to be persuaded by his valet. Heavy hits La Magistral for a three count and the tag champs jump in and continue their beatdown as Heavy Metal looks on.

Backstage Konnan is on his phone and tells someone that Carlito Carribbean Cool is coming in for Rey de Reyes. L.A. Park walks in and Konnan hangs up and says he was talking to Dorian. Park tells him that people backstage are talking poorly about them, Konnan says it doesn't matter, but Park says he put Mesías in the hospital for them and now he's upset because he's looked at the card for Rey de Reyes and he isn't in a match for the Megacampeonato. Park tells him he is in a semifinal for the RdR tonight and is going to win, and that Konnan is going to stop playing around with him, saying that Cibernético might be right about Konna. Konnan says Cibernético is a liar and he's just trying to cause friction between Park and Konnan, and that Park will be next in line for a title shot after Charly Manson, and if he doesn't believe him he can call Dorian right now. Park says it doesn't matter yells at Konnan that he doesn't believe him and leaves.

A Carlito video package is shown, even including a grainy video shot of him from WWE because that inherently makes him important or something, even if he got fired.

Back in Joaquin's office, Dr. Wagner Jr. tells La Parka he cannot leave because they need to stop what is happening in AAA like the attack on Mesías. Parka asks him what he would do if somebody did the same to his son what Cibernético did to his, and Wagner concedes. Parka tells them that what happened is between him and Cibernético and that maybe when it is all over he can help AAA, then leaves the office. Wagner tells Roldan that they are not alone and he has a plan.

3. Ozz and Cuervo vs. Damián 666 and El Zorro

Both teams start off brawling and the Sociedad members Damián and Zorro take control early taking down Ozz and Cuervo with the kendo stick while Jennifer Blake and Bestia assist on the outside. As they continue to beat down on the técnicos, a man dressed in all black wearing the "iron mask" from Zorro's past appears in the crowd and Zorro looks at him confused. Zorro leaves the ring to go after him but Damián goes out and holds him back from the man who disappears out of the crowd. Back inside the ring the rudos continue the beatdown and Zorro hits a bronco buster on Ozz proving that somehow people are still doing that move. They go after Cuervo now and try to splash him in the corner but he moves out of the way and kicks Zorro in the gut then sends him off the ropes and hits a quebradora. Ozz pulls Blake out of the ring by the hair but Tirantes Jr. prevents him from doing anything, like the guy at the party who sticks up for the annoying girl but we all know he won't get anything good out of it. Ozz pulls Bestia in and they pull him into the corner and wishbone his legs against the ring post. Damián in now with Ozz who sends him down with a shoulder tackle and an armdrag then a tijeras but Damián answers right back with a dropkick to the face. Damián sends Ozz into the corner but he climbs up to the top and hits a great tornillo onto Damián and covers him but Zorro breaks it up with a senton that Ozz avoids, crushing Damián. Zorro sends Ozz off the ropes now who springboards off with a moonsault but Zorro moves and hits him with a superkick. They head towards the corner and Zorro chops away at himthen sends him to the opposite and goes for a spear but Ozz moves and Zorro spills to the floor like a dummy. They gather back in the ring and Zorro takes down Cuervo with a clothesline. Blake holds Cuervo on the apron and Zorro rushes at them but Cuervo ducks and Zorro boots Blake to the floor. Cuervo trips up Zorro and goes for the cover but Blake breaks it up only for Cuervo to move away as she nails Zorro with an elbow drop. Cuervo sets her up for a powerbomb but Zorro javelins the kendo stick at him to break it up in a hilarious moment. Zorro grabs him and they chop each other then run the ropes and Cuervo takes him down with a bulldog. Damián is in with Cuervo now and applies a wristlock and tries to do a rope walk but Cuervo crotches him and he falls outside to the floor. Cuervo gets distracted by Bestia on the apron and Zorro catches him as he turns around with a superkick, then grabs the kendo stick and begins beating down both of them with it. Zorro takes out Tirantes Jr. with a kendo stick shot as he tries to stop him and Escoria and Taboo and clear ringside then get taken out with shots from the kendo stick via El Zorro as well. Charly arrives with a freaking cheese grater and goes after Zorro, busting him open. Any guy who brings a cheese grater to a fight is not the kind of guy you want to fight, for plenty of reasohs. Zorro is a bloody mess as Los Bizarros continue the beatdown on him and we go from an extremely bloody shot of Zorro to a shot of a smiling kid in the crowd wearing a Perros shirt. Charly gets on the microphone and challenges Zorro to a match at Rey de Reyes for the Megacampeonato.

4. Rey de Reyes semifinal: Halloween vs. Nicho el Millonario vs. L.A. Park vs. Dr. Wagner Jr.

Park and Wagner start off going after each other and Park takes his time doing his dance before they face off, then chops Wagner down and dances again. They punch back and forth and Wagner takes him down with a kick, then Park comes off the ropes with a clothesline and takes him down then proceeds to dance again until Nicho throws a chair at him to enter the match, ending the dance party. Nicho hits a final cut on Park then takes him up and off the top rope with a frankensteiner. Nicho climbs the opposite top rope but gets pulled off by Damián on the apron and Halloween goes up top after him only to get thrown off. Nicho then comes off with a plancha but Halloween catches him and hits a F5. Wagner and Halloween face off now and Halloween takes him down with a superkick then rushes at him only to get slid face first out of the ring. Park follows Wagner into the corner now with punches and then does his dance to the approval of the crowd. He kicks Wagner hard in the back of the leg and sends him into the opposite corner, only for Wagner to lift his legs and hit a sunset flip that Park rolls out of. Wagner runs at him and Park ducks twice before getting hit with a flying clothesline for a two count, then Wagner rolls him up again for another two count, and tries again but gets kicked in the gut. Park pulls him through the 2nd and 3rd ropes and walks onto the apron then gives him a nice reverse DDT against the apron with his legs hitting the top rope and his body falling to the outside, a pretty inventive move. Park goes for a dive but Nicho comes off top with a heel kickand then hits both ropes and leg drops him for a two. Nicho goes off the ropes again but Damián trips him up and Halloween catches him with a superkick, but Park pulls Damián off the apron and Nicho hits Halloween with a downward spiral. They fight to their feet and Nicho hits Halloween with a DDT and goes up top but is cut off by Wagner who goes for a superplex, then Park powerbombs Wagner as he superplexes him. Park sprints hard and takes out Damián with a nice tope but Wagner rushes at him and takes him out with a running tope con giro off the apron, only to get hit with a tope from Halloween, then Nicho hits the three of them with a springboard asai moonsault. In the ring, Park goes up top and comes off but Wagner lifts his feet up and hits Park in the face and then hits him with a shining wizard. Nicho and Halloween go two on one on Wagner, and they do a cool spot where Wagner leapfrogs a rushing Nicho into a spear off the second rope by Halloween. Wagner takes Halloween now and hits him with a Michinoku driver for a three count for the first elimination. Park back in and goes after Nicho with chops then catches him off the ropes with a powerslam for two. He takes down Wagner with two consecutive tackles but Wagner pops back up and hits him with an enziguri and all three men lay on the mat. Nicho rushes at Wagner with a kick but Wagner catches him and hits a dragon screw, then goes back after Park with a kick, and turns to Nicho but gets rolled up by him for two. Nicho goes for an enziguri but Wagner ducks and kicks him hard then pulls him up and hits him with a Michinoku driver too for a three count as Park watches from the corner. He takes down Park and an interfering Damián with a Michinoku driver and goes for a rollup on Park, but Park is alert and reverses the rollup into one of his own and gets a three count, then celebrates dancing and pumping his fists in the air. He talks to Mesías in the camera and tells him that he is going to win Rey de Reyes and laughs maniacally.  This was a really awesome match. L.A. Park and Wagner both are great but Park especially was just such a fantastic rudo here, acting like an absolutely annoying jerk and pulling out the cheap win at the end after Wagner did all the hard work and then celebrating like he did all the work himself. The Mesías/Park matches are some of my absolute favorite matches on their own, but seeing the lead up to them has made them even better.

5. Extreme Tiger, Jack Evans, La Parka vs. Charly Manson, Cibernético, Escoria

La Parka is the last man out and dances in the aisleway as the fans go crazy but is immediately attacked by Los Bizarros and all six men begin brawling, with Bizarros having the advantage thanks to the extra man at ringside, Taboo. Cibernético and Taboo go to work on Parka with chairs from the crowd as Escoria and Charly are in the ring with Tiger and Charly hiptosses him into a set up set of chairs. The rudos have all sorts of chairs and Cibernético now leads a beatdown on Parka inside the ring as he watches on and smirks. Charly lays Jack across his knees and Escoria comes off the top with a leg drop that just crushes him. Charly beats down Parka against a railing on the outside and an old lady begins hitting Charly with her shoe until they are pulled apart, so at least she's putting up more of a fight than the técnicos at this point in the match. Jack comes off the apron onto Escoria with a springboard Trouble in Paradise kick that sends Escoria out and then hits a diving tijeras onto him on the outside for for the first técnico offense of the match but Extreme Tiger gets his head taken off by Charly with a clothesline inside the ring. Tiger moves quickly around Charly and hits a backflip dropkick then a nice tijeras. Charly gets dumped to the outside and Tiger hits a springboard tornillo that takes him out. Jack and Cibernético face off now, and Jack spins on his head to taunt him but then gets nailed with punches and backed into the corner. Jack fights back but gets tripped up by Taboo and pulled outside and now Parka and Cibernético face off to the approving roar of the crowd and Cibernético takes him down with a tackle. Cibernético tries to hold him for Escoria but he comes off top and Parka moves for him to nail Cibernético with a dropkick. Sasuke Special by Evans on Taboo outside as Escoria gets flapjacked by Parka down to the mat and then Parka hits a sidewalk slam for the three count but Los Bizarros immediately continue the beatdown. Zorro's music hits and he runs down with his kendo stick still covered in blood and takes out Charly, but the numbers catch up to him and Bizarros gang up on him to continue the beatdown. La Sociedad arrive with Konnan who walks to the ring, but Joaquin arrives as well with Dr. Wagner and their backup. Konnan and La Sociedad stand on the outside as Joaquin grabs the microphone and tells them that this is the beginning of them taking back AAA from La Sociedad and all the other groups. Wagner takes the microphone and tells them they are a family in AAA, and says they are going to take them down. He extends his hand to Parka and invites him to challenge them with him at Rey de Reyes, and the fans chant Parka's name as Wagner tells him he is not alone and they are a family. Parka is reluctant, and tells Wagner that he wants to do it all on his own. Wagner persists and finally Parka agrees to join his side, and they celebrate as Wagner's music plays.

This was a show that was mostly used to advance the storylines, so the main event, Heavy vs. Electroshock and the tag match both had a lot of interference and they didn't really get a chance to have a solid match. The Rey de Reyes match, however, was great, especially the stuff involving Park.

AAA 2/19/11 Puebla Review

1. Jennifer Blake, Mini Chessman, Ronin vs. Lolita, Mini Charly Manson, Sugi San
Before the match we see Lolita talking to Gran Apache about what occurred at the last event with Hijo del Tirantes and Sexy Star taking the baseball bat to Fabi's arm. Inside the ring, the match begins with Mini Charly and Mini Chessman locking up, with Charly getting a hammerlock and flipping him over for a suplex. They lock up again and exchange holds with neither getting an advantage and the luchadoras tag in. Lolita rushes but Blake takes her down by the hair and stomps away. Lolita kips up and grabs her with a wristlock and hits a smooth springboard armdrag. Blake sends her into the corner hard and then the other but Lolita bounces off with a springboard and a diving armdrag that sends her out.

They hit the ropes again and Charly tries to back handspring into a headscissors but Chessman dropkicks him right in the face as he comes towards him.

2. El Elegido and Laredo Kid vs. Alan Stone and Chris Stone

The Stones start before the whistle by wishboning Elegido's legs, and then catch Laredo going for a springboard plancha and give him a double overhead toss. Alan clotheslines Laredo down and Chris gives him a kick right to the head. Chris is wearing a bulletproof vest as part of his Milicia gear that I would like to think serves as an homage to Big Bossman. 2 on 1 on Elegido in the corner and they run him groin first into the post. The focus turns to Laredo Kid, and they beat him down with knees and lift him up together and throw him over the top rope to the floor. Alan grabs Laredo Kid and bodyslams him hard onto the entrance steps. Elegido faces off with Chris Stone in the ring but Alan knocks him down from behind and poses while Chris stomps away.

Chris has Elegido reeling now with chops and tries to pull him in for a rollup but Elegido rolls out and gives him a swift kick to the back of the head. Stone tries to roll out of the ring but Elegido pulls him back in, pulls off his vest and chops him in the chest. Stone powers back and tries to whip Elegido into a big boot from Alan but there is miscommunication and Alan boots Chris. Both Stones get sent to the floor and Laredo Kid hits a tope suicida con giro off the top rope and Laredo Kid hits a tope suicida. They all work their way back in the ring and Laredo Kid locks Chris in a dragon sleeper while Alan and Elegido brawl, Elegido pulls Alan in with a wristlock and hits a sitout powerbomb for the three count. Laredo Kid was pretty great in this match, taking some crazy bumps and then looking great on offense when he had the chance to shine.

Gladiador puts Tiger down, goes up top and misses on a leg drop, then Tiger dives away from a dropkick that catches Gladiador's legs stuck between the 2nd and 3rd rope and Tiger double stomps him off the top with crazy force and covers him for the three count. Best match of the show so far, these guys went nuts in there and Evans and Tiger are a really great team working against bases like Silver King.

Konnan is backstage on a laptop. L.A. Park shows up as tense music plays and L.A. Park tells him he does what he wants because he is L.A. Park. He tells Konnan to do what he promised he would do for him.

4. Rey de Reyes semifinal: Superfly vs. Aerostar vs. Electroshock vs. El Mesías

Superfly is attacked by Laredo Kid as he comes down the aisle, and Kid is held back by security and pulled away. As soon as Aerostar's music hits he runs to the ring and begins going after Superfly with a ton of punches. Aerostar runs at Superfly and gets backdropped over the top rope and takes a beautiful dive to the outside. Electroshock runs to the ring and starts beating down Superfly until Mesías comes in and cleans house. Aerostar jumps on Mesías' back and tries to put him in a sleeper but gets slammed tremendously hard over Mesias’ head. Electroshock handles Mesías and goes for a powerbomb but Mesías lands on his feet and gets whipped into the corner for a Electroshock clothesline and belly-to-belly suplex. Aerostar and Superfly double team Electroshock and send him off the ropes then lock on double wristlocks and kick him down.

He rushes in again for the clothesline but Electroshock goes for a backslide on for Superfly to roll out, send him into the corner with a dropkick and go for a frankensteiner, only for Electroshock to powerbomb him off the top rope and cover him for a three count. Electroshock and Mesías face off now, and slap each other back and forth again, then Mesías takes him down with two consecutive clotheslines and goes for a third but Electroshock reverses it into an armbar only for Mesías to get his leg on the ropes.

This was a really great match, everyone was on top of their game and it helps that I’m a big Aerostar and Mesías fan because they were both awesome. The level of action in this match and the way these guys worked with each other made it a really great and enjoyable match, probably one of the top matches out of AAA in this year.

La Sociedad comes out with Dorian Roldan and Konnan. Konnan says that first he wants to say that he’s going to figure out who the leak in La Sociedad is and will make him pay a rich price. Then we see a video that recaps what has happened with Zorro and La Sociedad, and the feud between Zorro and Charly Manson. They talk about the cursed iron mask that Charly put on Zorro and the shame that Zorro has had afterwards.

5. Dr. Wagner Jr., Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs. Damián  666, Halloween, Super Crazy, X-Fly
This is just an all-out brawl as you would probably expect if you’ve ever seen a Psycho Clowns vs. Perros del Mal match. Psycho Clown gets laid across a chair set up in the middle of the ring and gets the back of the chair dropkicked right into his face by Super Crazy. X-Fly takes Murder Clown with a hard chair shot to the back and then turns and chokes out Psycho Clown with the legs of the chair, then slams the chair across his back. Two clotheslines in the corner by X-Fly and Crazy then Damián and Halloween slam his groin against the ring post in a move that was certainly popular on this night. The Perros pull a red metal trash bin into the ring and slam it right into Murder Clown’s head. They then hold Murder Clown onto the barrel but he moves as X-Fly comes down with a senton, and the Clowns take the advantage going after the Perros with chair shots and broomsticks. Damián lays in the center of the ring now and gets nailed with four dropkicks at the same time by the Clowns and Wagner. 4 on 1 on Damián now and he gets sent outside then Super Crazy tries to fight back but gets hit with a samoan drop by Wagner then the Clowns hold his legs open while Psycho Clown comes off the top with a headbutt. The Clowns hold X-Fly now as Murder Clown hits the ropes and hits a big leapfrog splash onto him that must have hurt, and the técnicos celebrate on the four posts. Now the teams retreat to their corners and Wagner faces off with Damián. Wagner comes off the ropes but gets knocked down by Damián with a back elbow. They’re up again, and now the fans chant Wagner’s name as he chops Damián down to the mat then sends him into the corner and rushes only to get hit with another elbow. Damián rushes and gets powerslammed by Wagner, who then dropkicks him out of the ring. Halloween in now and he chops Wagner hard across the chest. They go back and forth with chops then Wagner goes off the ropes and kicks him, goes off again but is then kicked in the face and goes down as Halloween celebrates to a chorus of boos, but Wagner is now up and sends him sliding on his chest to the outside. X-Fly and Psycho Clown in now, Psycho drops him to the outside and hits a tope suicida. Then Super Crazy goes after Monster Clown who sends him outside but Crazy sweeps his legs and sends him face first against the apron. Wagner and Damián go at it in the ring and Wagner hits a diamond cutter off the top then a dropkick to send him outside followed by a great tope con giro. Murder Clown and Halloween face off and Murder Clown pulls him up and hits a huge press slam then goes to the top rope and is cut off by Super Crazy. A table is in the ring now along with four chairs and it is set up across them. More chairs are thrown across it as Damián and Crazy try to superplex him, but the other Clowns climb in and cut them off. Psycho and Monster Clown then powerbomb Crazy and Damián through the table as they suplex Murder Clown through it and total destruction is the result. X-Fly hits a tope con giro to the outside almost landing on his head on the two members of Psycho Clowns that have fallen outside. Wagner is in the ring with Damián now and leapfrogs over him then nails him with a Michinoku driver and covers him but there is no referee as he has been knocked down.  Perro Aguayo Jr. appears now, he runs in and beats down Dr. Wagner as a new referee appears to pull them apart and he calls for the DQ but the Perros take the advantage and beat down the Clowns and Wagner as La Sociedad appears and joins in on the beatdown. Perro goes after Wagner, tearing and biting at his mask until the técnicos run up the ramp as Joaquín Roldan rushes down and pulls them backstage where we see that Mesías has been attacked and is down in a pool of blood. Wagner yells at Joaquín that he needs to do something about what is happening as they carry Mesías away, and Joaquin tells him he will do whatever he needs. Wagner says he needs La Parka.

Then we see Konnan asking L.A. Park what happened as we see Park is wearing a white shirt that is torn and covered in blood. Park says he did what Konnan wanted him to do, and Konnan nods.

This was a really great show, there weren’t any bad matches and the third and fourth matches were both great and worth watching twice. Even the angles at the end were good in my opinion.

AAA 2-4-11 Naucalpan, Part 2 - Review

AAA 2/4/11 Naucualpan, Part 2 - Review

Heavy Metal comes out to open the show wearing some fantastic looking Zubaz. He says that this is his house, and then introduces a dwarf that he calls his mascot and also a valet. Electroshock's music interrupts him, and Electroshock comes out to the roaring approval of the crowd and calls Heavy Metal "Rigo Tovar Jr." I had to look that one up, but Rigo, who was a popular singer in Mexico, does look a lot like Heavy Metal for what it's worth. We can all thank Electroshock for that lesson in Mexican culture. Electroshock says that everything that Heavy Metal boasted about, such as being discovered by Antonio Peña, being 100% luchador, etc. was the same for Electroshock but that he was Electroshock in "HDL'", or "alta definición luchística" and is a new Electroshock,  then pushes Heavy Metal out of the way, then his music hits and he leaves. They have a good little feud going here.

1. Dr. Cerebro, Cerebro Negro, Eterno vs. Argenis, Atomic Boy, Gato Eveready

Always good to get a Gato Eveready match, plus a team like Argenis, Atomic Boy, and Gato Everday promises that we'll get someone good in the ring at all times. Gato and Negro start out with some matwork and Gato gets him in a type of figure four but the rudos break it up. The rudos beat down on the tecnicos and hit a powerbomb/backstabber combo on Atomic Boy. The tecnicos fight back with a flapjack by Argenis and a springboard legdrop by Atomic Boy on Negro. Dr. Cerebro turns his back on Atomic Boy who runs up his back and hits a reverse headscissors which looked really awesome. Nice double springboard armdrag by Atomic Boy on Dr. followed by a spinning headscissors and Dr. Cerebro bails out as Astro Boy fakes a dive and bounces off the ropes celebrating. Argenis and Negro in now, headscissors by Argenis, then slams Negro down and hits a superkick when he stands up that sends him out. Gato and Eterno in now, headscissors by Eterno sends Gato down but he goes for a springboard armdrag and Gato shoves him off and hits a dropkick to the face. Super smooth spinning armdrag by Gato sends Eterno down to the floor, then Gato preps for a dive but Dr. Cerebro cuts him off and reverses a headscissors attempt into a back slam. He sends Gato into the ropes who does the hanging spot, then charges but Gato moves and Cerebro falls to the floor for Gato to hit a tope. Stereo dropkicks by Atomic and Argenis send the rudos out and Argenis hits a tope con giro on one side and Atomic Boy hits the other. Gato and Dr. Cerebro in now and Cerebro traps his leg around his and hits a crazy looking piledriver for the three count. The rudos clean house afterwards and what I assume is a bunch of fellow IWRG guys jump the ring and all hit their finishers on the tecnicos trio afterwards. This was a good match, I would have liked to see a little more but I really cannot complain because everything they did was good. I'm probably more of a fan of trios matches like this where the rudos have a long beat down segment on the tecnicos, because I think it just primes the crowd even more for the tecnico's opportunity to come back on the rudos and make it that more dramatic. Doing matches like this where there is basically equal offense between both sides is good for a nice change of pace though, especially when you have tecnicos like this who move so quickly.

L.A. Park confronts Konnan backstage who is on the phone and tells him that he received the letter from Cibernético, and the letter tells him that he is owed a title match against Zorro for the Megacampeonato. Konnan tells him Cibernético is playing with them and there is a spy in La Sociedad that is trying to bring them down. Konnan tells him he needs to stand with them and the opportunity will come, but Park pushes Konnan and leaves upset.

2. Electroshock vs. Heavy Metal

Long staredown to start the match, and Heavy Metal's midget is warming up the fans on the outside. He's also carrying an acoustic guitar, which isn't very heavy metal (unless we're talking MTV Unplugged). Kick to the gut by Electroshock to start out and he backs him into the corner. Rollup by Heavy for two and Electro slaps him in the face then gets taken down for an leg lock by grabs the ropes. Both men up, criss cross the ropes and Heavy knocks him down with a clothesline. Leg work by Heavy but Electroshock reverses into an armbar and they stand again. Big clothesline by Electroshock for a two count. Heavy Metal knocks him down and hits an elbow drop then slaps on a chinlock until Electroshock gets the ropes. Heavy Metal pulls him back out and locks on a doble palanca but Electroshock gets the ropes again. Standing again, dropkick by Electroshock and then hits a kick to the back Heavy's head while seated for a two count. Electroshock locks on a Tapatía and rolls him in it a few times before Heavy gets out. Heavy hits a fisherman's suplex for a two count and then covers him again out of frustration for another two. Heavy goes for a big clothesline but Electroshock ducks and takes him down with a big chop to the chest and then locks him in a sharpshooter. Heavy Metal fights free out of the sharpshooter and hits a headbutt to the groin of Electroshock that he sells like death. Electro gets dumped to the outside and Heavy huts a big tope con giro.] to the outside. Back in the ring, Heavy Metal locks on an armbar now but Electro gets the ropes. They stir to their feet again and Electroshock knocks him to the floor with a dropkick and then hits a tope of his own. Electro brings heavy into the ring with a hiptoss and covers him for two, but then Heavy pulls him into an armbar, which Electro slowly fights out of. Electroshock sends Heavy into the corner and catches him with an exploder suplex for two. They stir to their feet again and each man tries to go for a rollup but they fight out and then Electroshock hits a big powerbomb and both men are down. Heavy Metal's valet climbs in the ring to attend to Heavy, leaving the acoustic guitar on the apron which Electroshock takes. Electro sets up to hit him with the guitar but the valet distracts him long enough for Heavy to knock him down with a dropkick and then a punch to the face. Heavy now foolishly turns to his valet to regroup himself and Electroshock grabs the guitar and smashes it over his head, then covers him for the three count. Pretty slow match between these two that picked up at the end with the dives and the nearfalls but really was not anything special. Definitely the worst match on the show although it really wasn't that bad, just pretty slow compared to the others.

We get a video recapping the La Parka/Cibernético feud up to this point.

3. Charly Manson, Cibernético, Escoria vs. Jack Evans, La Parka, Nicho el Millonario

The rudos jump Nicho and Evans before Parka even gets to the ring, and then Charly attacks Parka once he steps through the curtain. Cibernético immediately goes after Parka, puts the boots to him in the corner and chokes him out as Evans fights Escoria and Nicho fights Charly, but the rudos dominate all in the beginning. Ciber hangs Parka upside down in the corner and stomps away at him brutally and the others take turns splashing Nicho in the opposite corner. All three men beat down Nicho now and slam his neck against the ropes before moving back to Parka and continuing to beat him down in the corner with punches. The fans start chanting for Parka as they beat him down three on one and Escoria hits a running knee lift. They focus on Jack now and chop him against the ropes then Charly hits a crazy looking Gory Special into a facebuster maneuver. Ciber picks him up again and hits a vertical suplex followed by Escoria with a standing moonsault. They continue beating down Parka in the corner, but he starts to fight back against Cibernético with a flurry of punches only to get tripped up by Hijo del Tirantes and get beaten down again. Nicho tries to introduce a chair into the match but he gets cut off and hit with it before Escoria hits a running dropkick sending the chair into his face, and then he gets splashed hard in the corner and falls out of the ring. They focus on Jack now and whip him into the corner for three straight clotheslines that send him to the floor as well and the rudos celebrate before turning their attention back to La Parka. Parka staggers to his feet and Cibernético just kicks him right in the back of the knee like a total dick and he collapses like a sack of onions on the mat. Parka gets pulled into the corner again and whipped to the opposite side, then Charly runs at him but gets flipped over Parka's shoulders to the floor and Escoria misses as well and Parka starts a big comeback by going to town on Cibernético with a flurry of punches followed by stomps that sends him to the outside with Parka in pursuit. Outside on the floor, Evans takes Escoria down with a flurry of kicks and Nicho hits a big boot on Charly. Back inside the ring, Parka has Cibernético cornered with a chair and he flees from the ring so they turn their attention to Hijo del Tirantes and yell at him as the rudos attempt to regroup on the outside. Jack and Escoria face off in the ring now as things settle down a bit and they run at each other with Escoria knocking him down with a spinning heel kick. Evans and Escoria go back and forth and Evans hits a big tornado DDT on him then gets knocked out of the ring by Charly. Nicho and Charly face off now and Charly sends him into the ropes then gets nailed with a spinning heel kick by Nicho that sends him out. Cibernético jumps in, so Parka tags in, and Cibernético tags back out to get away from Parka. Quebradora con giro by Parka on a rushing Escoria and then a clothesline to send him out of the ring and now Parka faces off with Cibernético who hesitates for a while to get into the ring and then reluctatly gets in, but hits a snapmare on Parka and locks him in a chinlock. Tirantes is distracted with the tecnicos, which is driving the crowd crazy, so Escoria jumps in and stomps away at Parka in the chinlock to take advantage of the opportunity. Back to their feet, and a running clothesline by Parka takes Cibernético down and he goes back outside to regroup. Jack and Escoria jump in, and then followed by everyone else who start brawling around the ring. In the midst of all this, Zorro jumps in the ring with his kendo stick and slams it over the head of Charly, who is then pinned by La Parka for the three. After the bell, Zorro continues his assault on Charly while the announcers wonder why he's going only after Charly, and Cibernético beats down La Parka then seems confused about Zorro's actions. Los Bizarros stand over the tecnicos and celebrate as their music plays, then they leave and Parka dances in the ring with some fans to close the show. This match was clipped a little bit, however it was a good match with a lot of action and a lot of heat on the rudos. Jack and Escoria managed to do some cool stuff in there while Parka and Cibernético continued their blood feud, plus a lot of good brawling and you end up with a pretty entertaining match here to close out what was a good show.

The show opens and Konnan and El Zorro are sitting in a stairwell discussing their problems with Charly Manson. L.A. Park comes over and interrupts them which infuriates Zorro and he storms off. Park tells Konnan he's signing the contract to be a part of Rey de Reyes and is going to be Megacampeón, but Konnan tells him he has to deal with Mesías before he worries about that.

1. Ronin and Sexi Star vs. Sugi and Fabi Apache

Sugi is someone who is always impressive to watch in the ring, the guy is as fast as a bullet and seems to do all of his crazy moves absolutely flawlessly. The ladies start out with some above average mat work and Fabi manages to get the better of her in the first exchange. They go to work on the mat again and Fabi does some great counters to Sexi. Sugi and Ronin jump in and trade moves and Sugi sends him outside with a headscissors to the floor. Fabi and Sexi back in the ring, they brawl a bit and Sexi hits Sugi with a kick that knocks him to the floor. Sexi gets the better of Fabi and chokes her out in the corner with her boot, then goes after Sugi and does a 2-on-1 attack with Ronin. She hits a bodyslam on Sugi as the show goes to commercial. Returning from the break, the beat down continues and Hijo del Tirantes who is the referee in the match continues to turn a blind eye as Sexi Star low blows Sugi. Whip into the ropes but Sugi hits an awesome spinning armdrag on Ronin that sends him out and then does a rope walk across the ring into a dropkick in the corner on Sexi Star that was equally awesome. Ronin is back in and gets double hiptossed and hit with stereo dropkicks by Fabi and Sugi. Fabi hits a rolling armbar on Sexi but Ronin breaks it up, only to get tossed outside and nailed with a diving huracanrana by Sugi that seemed to mess up Sugi's leg. Fabi hits a tiger suplex on Sexi and has her for the count but Tirantes kicks her legs out from underneath her like the annoying doofus he is and gets slapped in the face by Fabi, who is distracted long enough for Sexi Star to hit a backstabber and win the match on a fast count. Afterwards, Sexi Star grabs a bat with a chain wrapped around it and Tirantes nails Fabi in the knee with it twice until Gran Apache runs in to break it up. Fabi sells her knee as being seriously injured and gets carried out on a stretcher as the fans throw popcorn and sodas at the three rudos who heinously attacked her. Great opening match here with Fabi getting to do some great mat wrestling in the beginning and Sugi getting a real showcase for his talents.

2. Rey de Reyes semifinal: Dark Cuervo vs. Joe Lider vs. Extreme Tiger vs. Chessman

Brawling on the outside to start, Tiger gets suplexed back into the ring by Cuervo and then dropkicked back out by Lider. Cuervo and Lider trade punches and Lider hits a cutthroat neckbreaker for a two count. They run the ropes and Cuervo hits a big boot for two. They go to run the ropes but both get tripped up by the other two who jump in the ring now. German attempt by Chessman, but Tiger flips out and hits a tope con giro to the outside and Chessman hits a running tope on the other side that knocks himself and Lider into the crowd. Chessman and Cuervo crawl slowly back in as Tiger and Lider fight on the outside, and Tiger climbs on the apron only to get superkicked off by Chessman. Chessman and Lider in now, Chessman sends him off the ropes but Lider catches him with an arm capture variation of a backstabber for a two count as the show goes to commercial. Returning to the show and Lider and Chessman are climbing the turnbuckle and Lider hits a reverse DDT off the middle rope and has him covered but Tiger breaks up the pin. Lider gets Tiger up in the torture rack position but Tiger hits a crucifix pin and Lider kicks out at two. They fight to their feet and exchange punches, and Lider pulls Tiger up for a vertical suplex, but Cuervo reappears and flips Tiger's legs down to have him hit a suplex of his own and then kicks Tiger in the face for a two count. They then do an awesome rope running sequence where they criss cross and then Tiger does a rolling somersault only to get dropkicked right in the face right as he comes out of his somersault. Chessman runs at Cuervo but gets a DDT, and Cuervo then goes up top and hits a senton on Chessman and covers him but Tiger breaks up the pin. Not to be outdone, Tiger goes up and hits a 450 off the top but then gets pulled out of the ring by Cuervo and Lider. Those two face off in the ring as the fans chant for Lider, then both run the ropes and catch each other with stereo clotheslines. Lider hits a double underhook piledriver on Cuervo with his feet draped across the ropes Orton style and goes for the cover but Tiger nails him right in the face with an awesome dropkick and Joe gets an amazing wide-eyed look on his face. Extreme Tiger runs at Lider but gets trapped and dropped on his head with a crazy move that can be described as a rubik's cube out of the tiger suplex position that looked incredible. Lider goes for the cover but Chessman breaks it up as the crowd is going crazy for Lider and chanting his name. Lider hits a cradle on Chessman for the two count and then runs and knocks Cuervo off the apron, then gets nailed with a Pele kick by Tiger. Tiger gets sent out by Chessman who waits slowly for Lider to turn around and then nails him with a spear for the three count. This is an elimination match, even though guys have been randomly breaking up each other's pin attempts up to this point. Chessman and Cuervo back in, Cuervo hits a dropkick for a two count. They stagger to their feet again and Chessman hits a spear on Cuervo to pin him for a three as well. Tiger and Chessman square off now in the last fall of the match, and Tiger throws Chessman into the ropes and hits a double stomp on him, then goes for the cover but only gets a two count. Chessman pulls Tiger up again and gives him a backbreaker out of the torture rack for two. Tiger gets on the apron, hits an enziguri, and comes in for a huracanrana but Cuervo pulls him into a cangrejo. Tiger works his way out, hits his huracanrana finally and covers Chessman for the three count to advance to the Rey de Reyes finals. This was a really great, fast paced match with everyone looking pretty good, and they whipped the crowd into a frenzy as well which is always good.

Backstage, Cibernético hands someone a letter and tells them it needs to get to L.A. Park. I assume he has a distrust for the postal service.

A video recap of El Mesías vs. L.A. Park from Guerra de Titanes 2010 airs, my personal favorite match of 2010 (or 2011 if you're an Observer subscriber).

3. El Mesías, Dark Espíritu, Dark Ozz vs. Decnnis, LA Park, Zorro

The crowd is already chanting for all of them as the match begins. Park and Mesías resume their rivalry and start brawling on the outside as the other four fight in the ring. Decnnis (or is it Decnis?) straddles Espíritu in the corner and kicks him repeatedly and Park grabs a normal, non-folding hard plastic/metal chair out of the audience and slams it across Mesías' back and the fans chant Park's name. Park then brings the chair in the ring and just clobbers Espíritu with it. He then grabs Ozz and powerbombs him right across the seat of the chair. I could watch Park do this all day, honestly. Zorro has a folding chair now and slaps it over Mesías' back then sets it up in the corner and whips him head first into it. The beatdown continues with Decnnis slamming a chair into a nother chair that is between Ozz's legs. We might not see any Hijos del Ozz after that one. Zorro holds Mesías' head up by his braids as Park runs the ropes and kicks him right in the face. Zorro and Park then hold Mesías head and slam it repeatedly against the chair, with Park celebrating this by doing his trademark dance and being fantastically awesome. Park then whips off his belt and starts dancing again as the crowd unanimously chants his name, and Park goes and slaps Mesías repeatedly on the back with the belt and then the three of them just destroy him with punches. They send Mesías into the ropes, but he finally ducks out and knocks them all down before hitting a tope to the outside and Espíritu runs in with a springboard plancha and goes after Decnnis. Mesías has a chair now and turns to Park and just nails him with it and rolls Park into the ring. Mesías has the belt now as Espíritu holds Park down and slaps him hard as hell across the back with a thunderous SMACK. The three of them back Park into a corner and Park runs at them only to get slammed across the head with a chair by Mesías. Mesías and Decnnis face off in the ring now as things settle down a bit and the crowd is chanting for Mesías now. Mesías knocks Decnnis out and Espíritu runs in to takes him on now and armdrags him out. Espíritu faces Park now and ducks a clothesline and hits a tope to the outside on Decnnis. Park and Mesías now face off in the ring, push each other, spit at each other and then just start trading slaps and punches until Park has had enough and tags out, being an awesome rudo. Mesías knocks Decnnis down with two shoulder tackles and then hits a uranage but Zorro throws his kendo stick at him and takes out his legs. Zorro goes for a piledriver but Mesías flips out and hits a dropkick. Zorro comes off the ropes with a clothesline to Mesías and poses as the fans continue to chant for Mesías. Park cuts off Mesías from behind and takes him down with punches. The camera zooms in on Mesías' back and it's covered in welts from the belt shots by Park. Mesías has him in the corner now and is punching him repeatedly, so the ref comes over to pull him off but Mesias accidentally knocks him down and Park comes off the top for a splash but lands on the ref instead when Mesías moves. The ring clears out and Espíritu and Zorro are in now, Zorro dropkicks him down but Ozz comes in and dropkicks him out then Espíritu hits a suicide plancha on Zorro and Decnnis but they catch him and toss him into the crowd, but Ozz comes flying through the ropes with a crazy super tornillo. L.A. Park, in fine fashion, then goes up top and teases a dive but then instead tells the fans to fuck off. Park and Mesías square off again and Park charges at him in the corner, gets hit with a boot, but then catches the charging Mesías with a powerslam for two, and then defiantly chants "sí se puede" because he knows how awesome he is. Mesías hits a plancha on Park or two and they show Decnnis on the outside with a doctor and he has an absolute goose egg on his forehead from the dive into the crowd. Park slams Mesías and goes for a springboard moonsault but misses and Mesías has him down now. Mesías goes up top and comes off the turnbuckle with a frog splash and covers Park. Afterwards, all of them keep brawling and Cuervo runs down to help his stablemates out and run off the rudos as the show ends. This match was great, crazy stuff with Park being the star and everyone around him making it a fantastic match by being absolutely awesome as well.
