Average match. Fugaz
was the only one on the tecnico team...
Actually, the only one in
the match who felt like taking a dive or two
to the outside. Everyone
else just seemed to want to wrestle. Odd.
In any event, after Nygma
took the first fall, the tecnicos ganged up
on him, and took the second
fall fairly easily. Mercurio put up a
good fight in the third
fall, but eventually, after a mix-up, Nova
pinned Nygma with a rana
for the win.

OK, Marvin looked good.
So did America. They had a quick 3 minute
sequence during this one,
and the crowd ate it up. That eventually
led to Marvin hitting a
Northern Lights suplex on Picudo to score the
win for the tecnicos, and
Marvin's first pinfall victory in AAA.
Picudo shook Marvin's hand
after the match, which was a nice gesture
by the rudo. As for
the first two falls, they were junk. Binary was
counted out after Rayo I
rammed him into the ringsteps.

WHOA! TERRIFIC MATCH!
People would *kill* for a tape of this one,
but I don't know if it'll
be *that* easy to find. The rudos took this
one in a clean sweep, but
the tecnicos were just crazy, with Metal
busting open... Hell,
maybe even cracking open Shocker's head (*had*
to be a .5, *maybe* a .6
Muta - but who knows?), while Hardy and
Dragon must have drank their
Tang before the match, because they were
diving onto Texano and Moto
Cross like it was something they did every
day. However, the
rudos, who did a fine job by themselves, managed to
take home the win.
Standing ovation for both teams after the match.
Felino
pinned Shiiba with the Splash Mountain in 0:15:29.
Rating:
*** 1/2
(Felino
retained the Mexican National Middleweight Title.)
Another very good match,
but compared to the last one... Um...
Anyways, Shiiba looked pretty
nervous in there for some reason, as he
was pretty cautious, and
rarely took to the air. Finally, Shiiba went
for his Frog Splash, but
Felino lifted his knee! After a flurry of
offense, Felino hit his
Splash Mountain to retain the title. Shiiba
didn't seem to be in a good
mood as he went to the back.
Rey
Misterio Jr. and Perro Aguayo defeated Jerry Estrada and Sangre
Chicana
when Perro Sr. pinned Chicana with the Double Stomp in
0:14:33.
Rating:
-3/4*
This could have gone either
one of three ways - Misterio and Estrada
are in the ring most of
the time, and we have a good match; everyone's
in the ring for the same
amount of time, for an average match; or
Perro and Chicana are in
the ring most of the time, which gives us a
pretty bad match.
Luckily, we got option #2. About as good as could
be expected, but with Estrada
and Misterio brawling on the outside, we
were treated to Perro hitting
Chicana with the Double Stomp for the
tecnico win. Good
way to end the night.
