Our first matchup saw Asesino beat Lizmark Jr. in 3 falls. The match was said to be a decent showing for both men with Asesino showing his inexperience and having to be carried for portions by Lizmark Jr. When Asesino was ontop of his game in the match he was said to look very vicious and the fans really ate up his sheer disrespect towards them and towards his opponent, earning him some of the biggest rudo heat tonight. His finisher, Policia Muerte (Dead Police), was reported as being a second rope Gory Special Driver. Our second match saw the Rudo team of Jesus P. Estrada, who was the only unmasked graduate of the Gran Escuela De Lucha, Ultimo Gringo, who is so far the only American graduate, and the team captain, Silver King, take on tecnicos El Fuerza, who is the head trainer at Gran Escuela De Lucha, Gran Fuerza, who is the son of El Fuerza, and El Ganador, with El Fuerza acting as the team captain. The match was a high paced one with the first fall coming just after the 7 minute mark, when all 3 rudos sent their opponents to the outside and then hit triple planchas on them to score a countout fall. The second fall took a bit longer and had more of a back and forth feel. It was highlighted by an excellent assisted top rope Force Blast as El Fuerza springboarded from Gran Fuerza hands has the both stood on the top rope and delivered his patented Force Blast on Jesus P. Estrada for the fall. The third and deciding fall saw the rudo team take out both Gran Fuerza and and El Ganador with stero flying dropkicks to the outside. Which left Ultimo Gringo and El Fuerza in the ring, Gringo got his Ultimo Dolor (Ultimate Pain) submission locked in and El Fuerza tapped. The Ultimo Dolor itself is reported as a crab hold with Gringo locking in a figure four headvice and pulling back in both directions. There was a short break where Rey Bucanero was asked about being forced to team with Cthulhu. Bucanero said he had no plans to cooperate with "that little bastard" and that he would rather loose the match then help him to win. Our next match saw more established stars on both sides, with the tecnicos consisting of Dos Caras Jr., Olimpico, and Ricky Marvin, and the rudos being Charly Manson, Abismo Negro, and Ultimo Guerrero. The tecnico team started off getting destroyed by the rudos, unable to match their brawling ability. Dos Caras Jr. finally had had enough and scored an excellent takedown on Guerrero pummeling him with vicious shots to the head and ribs. Caras then baseball slid out of the ring grabbing the foot of Negro and Manson on the way out causing all three of them to end up in a pile on the outside. This gave Olimpico the "lucha tag" he needed to step in and lock the Inverted Cristo on Guerrero for the first fall. The second fall didn't take long since the rudos had been isolating Caras for most of the match Olimpico was pretty fresh and decided to take the frustration of watching his teammate get beat up for most of the match out on Abismo Negro, scoring a few nice double team moves including a nice monkey flip senton, before locking in the Inverted Cristo and taking home the match in 2 straight falls. Another short break while we take a look at a new segment "Volver a Vivir La Lucha" (Reliving the Fight). They showed clips from last weeks show, which included the finals of both Una Lucha Tornaments, the amazing headscissors suicida that I wrote about last week, the Moonsault Bodyblock that won Cthulhu the title of Luchador Sobretodo Otros, and his celebration with the title. Now it's time for the main event of the evening. Tecnicos Mistico, Torres Poderoso, and El Hijo Del Santo faced off against rudos Cthulhu, Rey Bucanero, and Dr. Wagner Jr.. Earlier Bucanero made it clear he had no intention of helping Cthulhu in any way and he made good on that promise in the first fall, only entering the ring to help Dr. Wagner with double teaming, and refusing to tag or be tagged by Cthulhu. Wagner eventually grew sick of their arguing which culminated in a brawl on the outside of the ring which distracted the evil dr. and allowed El Hijo Del Santo to suprise him with a Frakenstiener to take the first fall. Between falls Bucanero was calmed down by Wagner who asked him to keep his head and said that taking a loss here would hurt his chances in getting a rematch with Cthulhu in the future and that he'd best get his priorities straight. The second fall started with Cthulhu and Mistico in the ring and it ended with Cthulhu and Mistico in the ring, as the two where going spot for spot with one another trying to out pace and out manuver each other. Mistico went for a flying cross body block but Wagner and Bucanero grabbed his legs causing him to fall face first on the mat, this allowed Cthulhu to lock in a reverse figure four and cause Mistico, the tecnico team captain to tap out which scored the rudo team the over all victory. Bucanero and Cthulhu where back to brawling after the match, and probably would have gone at each other all night if they hadn't been taken out by Mistico who hit a frog splash suicide dive on both men on the outside, leaving all three men laying around the ring as the show went off the air. |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/11/06 at 03:33:25 A good show once again. Note I don't have a lot of specific feedback yet as I'm still trying to get a grasp of who all the characters are. I think it's a bad sign for me when even though you mentioned it after your last card, I can't remember who is real and who is created. :) Cthulhu seems to be your stud though, and he looks stronger tonight. |
| americamamushi | Posted on 08/11/06 at 03:40:03 Good card. For some reason I really did Cthulhu already. I can just pictures what his mask might look like and I want one of my own :) |
| Carlzilla | Posted on 08/11/06 at 03:43:03 Just for reference again El Fuerza, Gran Fuerza, El Ganador, and Torres Poderoso are created tecnicos Asesino, Ultimo Gringo, Jesus P. Estrada, and Cthulhu are created rudos I'm glad that I'm succeeding in getting Cthulhu over without any talking, I think it would kill his gimmick to have him cutting promos and stuff. In my head his mask is crazy. |
| Azrael | Posted on 08/11/06 at 03:47:22 Good opening match to establish Asesino. I've never really been a fan of Lizmark Jr, so to see someone beat him and be a jerk about it fills my heart with joy. SILVER KING! Throwing him out there with the new guys helps establish them too. Even though a gimmick called Last American does seem kinda weird. But Silver King = ratings. Not as much as El Dandy, but still. Surprising the rudos lost and in straights no less, but Olimpico comes out strong. Cthulhu and Rey Bucanero's feud continues, but now Mistico's interjected himself as well. Hopefully, these wrestlers will meet in some combination in some singles matches. |
| Carlzilla | Posted on 08/11/06 at 03:57:08 Lizmark was a great pickup to enhance my future talent, as he really isn't super impressive himself, but is a solid worker. I've been a non-fan of his since his lame G1 appearences in New Japan which where not highly impressive. Ultimo can also mean Ultimate...I'm not 100% fluent in spanish or anything, so if I'm wrong correct me. Anyway the idea is that he's the Ultimate Stereotypical Redneck Whiteguy...but with a mask. I'm a big fan of Silver King, sucks that he lost his mask recently. I know it's super uncommon in lucha to have straight falls, but to have it never happen I think kinda kills the idea of a 2/3 falls match to me...statistically it has to happen sometimes. I just picked the winner in this match, I was kinda suprised to see Olimipico take both falls himself. Cthulhu and Bucanero has surely not run it's course. Mistico did squash the crap out of them though... |
