Heat: 7

A decent, long match to start things off tonight.  America and
Mercurio looked good tonight, and not surprisingly, both men scored
falls to lead the rudos to victory.  Rayo II had to be helped to the
back after Mercurio's Liger Bomb, but he's OK, from what we last
heard.

Welcome to AAA TV, coming to you from Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico!

We cut right away to the back, where AAA officials are trying to calm
down Blue Demon Jr., who is throwing a temper tantrum!  Want to know
why?  Well, if you remember what happened last week, Octagon and
Pentagon fought to a no-contest when Demon Jr. laid Tropicasas out,
and then took out both competitors.  Now, this morning, it was
announced that Demon Jr. would be fined and punished for his actions.
One of the lines in the statement was, and I quote: "This match was
supposed to be a #1 Contender match for the Mexican National
Heavyweight Title.  If the referee, Tropicasas, had not been knocked
out, then the winner of the match would have been the one that was
attacked by Blue Demon Jr. first, via disqualification.  Therefore,
Blue Demon Jr. *must* defend his Mexican National Heavyweight Title
tonight, against the first wrestler he hit, which would be Pentagon."
Now you know why Demon Jr. is ticked.

Also, in the back, Gran Apache and Shocker enter, with Shiiba carrying
their bags.  Apache says that there's three open slots for matches
tonight, and he's claimed all of them.  First off, Shiiba will tag
with Moto Cross to face Heavy Metal and Felino.  Apache stared at
Shiiba, and warned him *not* to mess up.  As for Shocker, he needs a
challenge, and so he'll tag with Jerry Estrada and Psicosis to face
Rey Misterio Jr., Mr. Niebla and Magnum Tokyo.  And as for Apache?  He
wanted revenge, so he'll tag with the unlikely pairing of Abismo Negro
and Ultimo Guerrero to face the trio of Perro Aguayo, Matt Hardy and
Negro Casas.  Shiiba doesn't like his match, while Shocker just
shrugs, and goes off to get ready.

Meanwhile, Pentagon has just been told that he's getting the title
shot against Demon Jr. later on tonight, and looks surprised...  Then
demands to know where the acting AAA Commissioner, Colin MacKinnon,
is.  ...WHAT?

MATCH #1: Aguila (c) vs. Sangre Chicana - Mexican National Light
Heavyweight Title Match - ONE FALL

OK...  You'd figure that this would have the potential to be a decent
match, with Aguila being in it and all, as well as the fact that
Tradicion wasn't at ringside.  Right?  RIGHT?

..Wrong.

This match was terrible.  They locked up, and Aguila did hit a nice
spin kick early on, knocking Chicana off of his feet.  Then, Aguila
missed a springboard dropkick, and Chicana took control.  First,
Chicana locked on a chokehold, then choked Aguila with his boot, then
choked Aguila against the ropes.  Notice a pattern here?  Chicana hits
a DDT for two, then hits a bodyslam.  After playing to the crowd for a
bit, Chicana sets up Aguila in the corner, and hits him with some
punches and kicks.  Then he whip Aguila into the other corner, runs in
with a clothesline, and continues with his offensive onslaught.
Chicana hits a pair of shoulderblocks, then after another bodyslam,
drops an elbow onto Aguila for two.  One elbowsmash later, Chicana
clotheslines Aguila to the outside.  Chicana then rams Aguila into the
ringsteps, and DDT's him onto the concrete floor.  Chicana rolls
Aguila back in, and goes to climb the top rope...  AND MISSES!
There's your turning point right there, guys.  Both men get up, and
Aguila ducks a clothesline, countering with one of his own.  Aguila
hits a springboard armdrag takedown, followed by a spin kick, and
Chicana goes down!  Aguila leaps to the top rope...  450 SPLASH!
One...  two...  THREE!  AGUILA RETAINS THE TITLE!  In any event, the
fans were really into this one.

Aguila pinned Sangre Chicana with the 450 Splash in 0:06:34.
Rating: -* 3/4

(Aguila retained the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Title.)

Backstage, Pentagon is waiting outside Colin's office, pacing back and
forth.

MATCH #2: Felino and Heavy Metal vs. Moto Cross and Shiiba - ONE FALL

OK, this is more like it.  Metal and Moto Cross start off.  Both men
trade off armdrag takedowns, and Moto Cross spits at Metal!  Metal
charges, and gets taken down with a snap suplex, followed by a stomp.
Moto Cross then hits a rana for two.  A chinlock is applied by Moto
Cross, but Metal shoves him away.  However, Moto Cross ducks a
clothesline by Metal, and counters with a jack-knife power bomb for
two.  The tag is made to a somewhat reluctant Shiiba, and Metal
manages to make it to the top rope...  FLYING DROPKICK ON SHIIBA!  A
stiff slap to Shiiba's face by Metal, followed by a dropkick!  Felino
comes in, and poor Shiiba now has to taste a double dropkick, thanks
to the tecnicos.  Both men hit each other with a double clothesline,
but Metal bounces right back up, and covers Shiiba for a one count.
However, Metal doesn't notice Moto Cross on the top rope!  Shiiba goes
for a dropkick, but Metal steps out of the way...  ASAI MOONSAULT BY
MOTO CROSS!  Great move, and it seems Moto Cross is going to replace
Shiiba in the ring...  One...  two...  KICKOUT!  Back suplex now by
Moto Cross...  One...  two...  SHOULDER UP!  After a few more stomps,
Moto Cross tags in Shiiba again, who hits Metal with a clothesline.
Shiiba tries again...  NO!  Crucifix by Metal...  TWO COUNT!  Shiiba
goes for a punch, but Metal blocks it and counters!  A spin kick by
Metal rocks Shiiba, and he follows up with a...  SPINEBUSTER!  One...
two...  KICKOUT!  Felino wants the tag, and the crowd wants him to get
it!  Metal goes over...  OOH!  Shiiba attacks from behind!  Gutwrench
suplex...  One...  two...  NO!  KICKOUT!  The quick tag is made to
Moto Cross, who hits Metal with a flying axhandle!  Moto Cross whips
Metal into the ropes, and comes out of the corner...  BULLDOG!  That
could do it...  One...  two...  KICKOUT!  That was close!  Moto Cross
once again tags in Shiiba, who hits a nice spinning neckbreaker on
Metal...  One...  two...  NO!  TWO COUNT!  Shiiba goes to whip Metal
into the ropes, but he blocks it...  SPINNING BACKBREAKER!  Metal goes
over...  AND TAGS FELINO IN!  Moto Cross gets dropkicked!  Shiiba gets
clotheslined!  Felino is as fresh as can be, and he grabs Moto
Cross...  GERMAN SUPLEX!  Felino gets up, and blocks a punch from
Shiiba...  BOOT TO THE MIDSECTION!  Look out...  SPLASH MOUNTAIN!!!
THIS IS IT!  One...  two...  THREE!!!

Heavy Metal and Felino defeated Shiiba and Moto Cross when Felino
pinned Shiiba with the Splash Mountain in 0:07:54.

Heat: 7

Tough loss for Shiiba there, and you can be sure Gran Apache won't
like that one bit...

Cut to the inside of Colin's office, where Colin is talking to
Pentagon.  Pentagon, first off, can't believe he's getting a title
shot, but he wants some things straightened up first.  First off, he
wants Xochitl Hamada to be banned from ringside.  No problem, Colin
says.  Then, Pentagon demands that TROPICASAS be the referee for this
match!  Colin looked a bit confused, then decided to grant Pentagon's
wish.  Satisfied, Pentagon left Colin's office, while the acting AAA
Commissioner muttered to himself, "Is he nuts?"

MATCH #3: Matt Hardy, Negro Casas and Perro Aguayo vs. Abismo Negro,
Gran Apache and Ultimo Guerrero - ONE FALL

Perro and Guerrero start off, and Guerrero learns pretty quickly that
you can *not* suplex Perro right off the bat.  Guerrero gets taken
down with a reversal, then Perro goes right after him with a series of
chops to the corner, followed by a boot to the stomach.  Guerrero
makes the hot tag to Abismo Negro, and both men stare each other down.
Abismo slaps Perro, and Perro returns the favor almost immediately.
They lock up, and Abismo hits Perro with a nice belly-to-back suplex,
but can't get a jack-knife power bomb off, as Perro blocks it.  Perro
goes for a dropkick, but Abismo moves out of the way, and goes for a
flying somersault splash...  BUT PERRO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!  Perro
attacks with a back suplex, then goes off the ropes...  VICIOUS
CLOTHESLINE BY ABISMO!  Perro goes over to tag in Matt Hardy, but
Abismo decks him with a clothesline as well!  Hardy gets dropkicked
into the corner, and Abismo follows with a double underhook suplex.
Abismo grabs Hardy...  POWER BOMB!  One...  two...  KICKOUT!  Abismo
slams Hardy to the mat, and goes to the top rope...  BUT MISSES A
MOONSAULT!  Both men get up, and Hardy plants Abismo with a swinging
neckbreaker!  As soon as Abismo gets up, he's taken down with a
spinning headscissor takedown, followed up by a dropkick!  Abismo
makes the tag to Guerrero, and Hardy tags in Perro.  Perro and
Guerrero lock up, but not before Hardy drills Guerrero with a spin
kick to the back of the head!  Back suplex by Perro, followed by a
chinlock.  Guerrero manages to free himself, and tags in Gran
Apache...  OOH!  DDT by Apache on Perro, followed by a backdrop!
Apache came out on fire!  The cover...  TWO COUNT!  Apache whips Perro
into the corner, but Perro moves out of the way, and Apache's a little
dazed...  SAMOAN DROP BY PERRO!  The cover...  One...  two...
KICKOUT!  Not yet!  Perro waits for Apache to get up...  AND TAGS IN
NEGRO CASAS!  Casas unloads on Apache with a series of punches to the
head, and whips him into the corner, but Apache counters with a kick
to Casas' head...  REVERSE NECKBREAKER!  What a move!  Apache takes
Casas...  POWER BOMB!  One...  two...  PERRO MAKES THE SAVE!  Apache
climbs up to the top rope...  FLYING SENTON!  One...  two...  THREE!!!
APACHE PINNED CASAS!  ...WAIT!  Casas' foot was on the ropes!  The
match is going to continue, but Casas has already tagged in Perro.
Both men exchange blows, culminating in a vertical suplex by Apache,
as Guerrero runs in...  FLYING BODYPRESS!  One...  two...  NO!  TWO
COUNT ONLY!  Guerrero and Perro are in the ring again!  Guerrero hits
Perro with a DDT, and sets him up on the top rope...  Uh-oh...
REVERSE SUPERPLEX!  UPSET IN THE MAKING!  One...  two...  THREE!!!
NO!!!  PERRO GOT HIS SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!
GUERRERO CAN'T BELIEVE IT!  He picks Perro up...  MATT HARDY NAILS
GUERRERO FROM BEHIND WITH A FLYING DROPKICK!  Perro's up on his
feet...  BODYSLAM!  The other four men are fighting on the outside,
and Perro's going off the ropes...  DOUBLE STOMP!  One...  two...
THREE!!!  Good match!

Gran Apache and Abismo Negro when Perro Sr. pinned U. Guerrero with
the Double Stomp in 0:10:19.

Heat: 7

In the back, Pentagon is getting ready for his big title match,
when...  Uh-oh...  Xochitl Hamada walks into his dressing room.
Pentagon does *not* want Xochitl anywhere near him, and yells at her
to get out of his dressing room.  Pouting, Xochitl says that she
wishes Pentagon the best of luck tonight, and that she's sorry she
can't watch the match at ringside.  This ticks Pentagon off again, and
he demands that Xochitl exit the room.  Xochitl just sighs, and once
again wishes Pentagon luck.  Of course, Pentagon is ignoring Xochitl,
so Xochitl mutters under her breath as she exits, "...you'll need it."

Meanwhile, Shiiba's talking to Shocker in the back.  Shiiba seems to
be explaining something to Shocker, but Shocker just sighs and shakes
his head.  "You know, Shiiba, Apache just isn't impressed with you
right now.  If you don't start putting out in the ring, he isn't going
to give you any respect, and next thing you know, you'll be out on
your ass.  Just stay calm, and don't worry about it.  Just try to win.
I'm counting on you."  That sounded fine...  Except for the fact that
Shocker said the above quote in English.  Poor Shiiba looks confused,
and you have to wonder - Are Apache and Shocker torturing Shiiba, or
do they have other plans for him?

MATCH #4: Magnum Tokyo, Mr. Niebla and Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Jerry
Estrada, Psicosis and Shocker - ONE FALL

Highlight mode is on for this one, because we *really* need to show
the main event.  At least, that's what I've heard.

- Misterio tosses Psicosis out of the ring early on, and rams him into
the ringsteps and guardrail, as a brawl breaks out on the outside!
- As soon as they get back into the ring...  FAUL!  FAUL BY PSICOSIS!
The referee was distracted with the brawl on the outside, and Psicosis
took advantage!
- Psicosis hits a senton for two, and tags in Estrada.
- Boston crab by Estrada, followed by a backbreaker, but Misterio
still isn't giving up.
- Back heel kick by Estrada gets two.
- Estrada misses a clothesline, and Rey slides to his corner and tags
in Niebla.
- Niebla goes for an octopus hold, but Estrada counters that with a
facerake.
- Spinebuster by Estrada gets two.
- Same with a nice slingshot somersault splash.
- Niebla manages to make the hot tag to Tokyo.
- Tokyo and Estrada trade punches for what seems like a good 20-30
seconds, before Estrada counters the Viagra Driver with a hiptoss.
- Estrada tags in Shocker.
- However, Estrada and Shocker have a little bit of a
miscommunication, and Tokyo dropkicks Estrada out of the ring!
- Frankensteiner by Tokyo gets two.
- Tokyo hits a double underhook suplex, but takes a little time to
dance for the ladies, and Shocker makes him pay with a dropkick from
behind.
- Spinning headscissor takedown by Shocker, followed by a lateral
press for two.
- Shocker pauses as Tokyo gets up...  Then hits a flying cross body
press for a near fall!
- Shocker hits a rana, then goes for a second one, but Tokyo counters
with a tiger driver, and gets a near fall of his own!
- Spin kick by Tokyo, followed by a vertical suplex.
- Tag made to Niebla.
- Niebla backdrops Psicosis, who runs in to make the save for Shocker,
then hits Psicosis with a rana for two.
- German suplex by Niebla *might* have won the match for the tecnicos,
but Estrada made the save.
- Psicosis then locks on an armbar submission, and when Niebla breaks
it, slaps another one on.
- Short clothesline by Psicosis, followed by a pretty cocky cover,
which gets a two count before Tokyo breaks it up.
- Tokyo's now in as Niebla rolls out, and he goes for the Viagra
Driver, but Psicosis counters with a hiptoss like Estrada did, but
this time, Tokyo hits a backslide off the counter for a two count.
- Tokyo finally picks up Psicosis...  VIAGRA DRIVER!
- Tokyo sets up Psicosis in the corner, and goes for the AV Star
Press, but Shocker steps in the ring, standing over Psicosis!  Tokyo
more or less points to Shocker, as if to say, "You want some of
this?", but Tokyo doesn't look behind him...  ESTRADA BRAINS HIM WITH
A CHAIR!  TOKYO FALLS OFF THE TOP ROPE!
- Psicosis manages to get to the top rope, and hit the Flying Legdrop!
One...  two...  THREE!!!  LOS RUDOS TAKE A TAINTED WIN!

Legdrop in 0:10:24.

After the match, Misterio ran in to help out Tokyo, but Psicosis took
him down with a flying dropkick!  While Shocker holds Misterio down,
Psicosis climbs up top...  FLYING LEGDROP ON MISTERIO!  Psicosis
taunts Misterio before leaving ringside, as Misterio is helped to the
back.  What was that all about?

And now, as both rudos make their way to the ring (with Pentagon
getting a mixed reaction, and Demon Jr. getting his usual negative
reaction, just the way he likes it), with Tropicasas already there,
it's time...  FOR THE MAIN EVENT!

MAIN EVENT: Blue Demon Jr. (c) vs. Pentagon - Mexican National
Heavyweight Title Match - ONE FALL

Both men slap each other to start off, then trade a series of punches,
with Pentagon coming out on top.  Pentagon hits Demon Jr. with a
clothesline, then follows up with a dropkick!  Demon Jr. heads to the
outside for a quick rest, then rolls back in, but Pentagon goes for a
Russian legsweep...  NO!  Demon Jr. countered with an elbowsmash, and
hits a Northern Lights suplex, going for the pin...  One...  two...
KICKOUT!  Double-axhandle chop by Demon Jr., followed by a
clothesline, and Pentagon is sent tumbling to the outside!  Demon Jr.
grabs hold of Pentagon...  AND SENDS HIM CRASHING INTO THE GUARDRAIL!
Demon Jr. now has the ringsteps...  OOH!  Pentagon is getting hammered
on the outside, and Demon Jr., having done enough damage, tosses
Pentagon back into the ring, and covers...  One...  two...  SHOULDER
UP!  Bodyslam by Demon Jr., followed by a shoulderblock.  Demon Jr.
steps on Pentagon's throat, and holds the choke for the full five
count.  Another bodyslam by Demon Jr., who's looking for the pin...
One...  two...  KICKOUT!  Now Demon Jr. applies an armbar submission,
and Pentagon needs to get some offense in right about now.  Demon Jr.
switches to a front facelock, trying to wear down Pentagon, but he
breaks the hold!  Pentagon's hammering away on Demon Jr. now with some
kicks and punches...  AND CLOTHESLINES HIM OUT OF THE RING!  Demon Jr.
runs right back into the ring, and gets taken down with an armdrag
takedown!  Pentagon bodyslams Demon Jr., then picks him up...  JUMPING
SIDE KICK!  Demon Jr. goes down, and Pentagon picks him up again...
RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP!  That could be all...  One...  two...  KICKOUT!
Pentagon whips Demon Jr. into the ropes, and goes for a backdrop, but
gets a kick to the head for his efforts.  Demon Jr. hits a spinning
backbreaker, and follows up with another front facelock.  Demon Jr.
relinquishes the hold after a few seconds, and stomps on Pentagon's
back a couple of times, before going for the pin...  One...  two...
KICKOUT!  Demon Jr. isn't giving up yet, as he slaps on an armbar, but
Pentagon manages to break the hold.  Clothesline by Demon Jr., and...
WAIT A SECOND!  OCTAGON'S RUNNING TO THE RING!  Octagon distracts
Tropicasas...  LOW BLOW!!!  FAUL!!!  PENTAGON HITS DEMON JR. WITH A
LOW BLOW!  WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!!  Tropicasas sends Octagon back to
the locker room, as Pentagon rolls Demon Jr. up...  One...  two...
NO!!!!!  TWO COUNT!  Pentagon picks Demon Jr. up, and bodyslams him in
the center of the ring!  Pentagon goes off the ropes...  NO!  PENTAGON
MISSES THE ASAI MOONSAULT!  Pentagon slowly gets up, and picks up
Demon Jr...  KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!  STUNNER!  One...  two...
THREE!!!  DEMON JR. RETAINS THE BELT!  THE CROWD CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Blue Demon Jr. pinned Pentagon with the Stunner in 0:09:34.
Rating: *** 1/4
Heat: 10
(Blue Demon Jr. retained the Mexican National Heavyweight Title.)

Considering what happened, that was an upset!  Demon Jr. quickly makes
his way backstage, as Pentagon stands at ringside in shock, realizing
that he was *this* close to becoming the new champion!  He just took
one risk too many, however, and that cost him the match, and the
title.  Pentagon shakes his head as he goes to the back, and the fans,
despite everything that just happened, the crowd gives Pentagon a
quick round of applause, but Pentagon doesn't notice.

And with that, we fade to black.
