Dark match to get the crowd going, as usual.  Nice back-and-forth
match, which saw Venum II get a big win over rudo Nemesis.

Welcome to AAA TV for this week!  The American/Canadian tour has
begun, and what better place to start it than the LA Sports Arena, in
Los Angeles, California!  Glad you could join us.

A *huge* card for you guys this week.  El Mosco, Rey Dragon and Brazo
Cibernetico will go up against Super Crazzy, Zumbido and Kickboxer!
Los Vipers have accepted the challenge that Los Vatos Locos made last
week...  Atomicos Titles on the line in a BARBED-WIRE, STEEL CAGE,
ELIMINATION MATCH!  That promises to get ugly!  And, Octagon, Pentagon
and Abismo Negro will clash in a three-way dance tonight.  But first,
some recorded comments from...  Pierroth Jr., leader of Tradicion.

"JAJAJA!  Cibernetico!  That's right, I'm taking to you!  Last week,
Los Vipers did beat Tradicion... but that was a fluke!  Take away that
stupid First Blood stipulation, and we could destroy you guys any day
of the week!  You thought you were pretty smart, ambushing me from
behind with that ring bell to make me bleed and give you punks the
win.  In fact, you're pretty stupid, Ciber.  That's why I challenge
you!  Tonight, just me and you!  No Tradicion, and no Vipers.  Ciber,
you will go one-on-one with the true Great One tonight, and when it's
all said and done, you'll be lying on the mat... looking up into the
lights... and you'll know for sure who the real rudo of AAA is!
JAJAJA!"

WOW!  Could we see Cibernetico vs. Pierroth tonight?

MATCH #1: Kaori Nakayama (c) vs. Xochitl Hamada - Mexican National
Women's Title Match - ONE FALL

Before this one got underway, another delivery boy came to the ring,
and presented a... STUFFED BEAR TO XOCHITL?  Xochitl looked at the tag
that was on the bear... and dropped it.  Odd...

Lockup, Hamada tosses Nakayama into the ropes, and drills her with a
clothesline for a one count.  Hamada tries to whip Nakayama into the
ropes again, but gets hit with a pair of elbows that send Hamada down.
Nakayama attempts to lock on a Boston crab, but Hamada's too close to
the ropes.  Hamada misses a kick, and Nakayama counters with a
handspring elbow for a two count.  Nakayama continues to dominate with
a double underhook suplex, but that gets two as well.  Nakayama picks
Hamada up and tries to kick her in the side, but Hamada grabs the
leg...  OH!  Great enzuigiri that time by Nakayama, and that might do
it!  Nakayama picks Hamada up for a snap suplex, and climbs the
ropes...  MOONSAULT!  One... two...  THREE!  This one's over.

Kaori Nakayama pinned Xochitl Hamada with the Moonsault in 0:03:57.
Rating: * 3/4
(Kaori Nakayama retained the Mexican National Women's Title.)

It seemed that Xochitl wasn't really in this match, if you know what I
mean.  Maybe that delivery had something to do with it?  Either way,
Kaori will take the win.  Easy title defense.

And... wait one second, I believe that Cibernetico's going to answer
Pierroth's challenge!

"Pierroth...  what has gotten into you, man?  You're walking around,
saying that you stand for tradition, but you're more immature than all
the kids in AAA!  And now, you want to go up against... me?  Pierroth,
I know you talk the talk, but I'm not so sure that you can walk the
walk.  Tell you what.  We'll do things your way.  Me and you, right
here, tonight.  No Vipers, no Tradicion.  And you know what?  Just to
sweeten the deal, you see this AAA Champion of Champions Title?
That's up for grabs.  Pierroth, you asked for it, and you got it.
Don't count on being so lucky tonight."

Harsh words from Cibernetico, as we have one hell of a main event
slated for tonight!

MATCH #2: El Mosco [ECW], Rey Dragon and Brazo Cibernetico vs. Super
Crazzy [ECW], Zumbido and Kickboxer - 2/3 FALL MATCH

Pretty sad when we only have one 2/3 fall match.

First fall: Rudos attack Brazo Ciber from behind at the bell, with
Zumbido hitting a twisting moonsault right away for a one count.
Kickboxer comes in, and the rudos corner Brazo Ciber with a series of
kicks, until El Mosco makes the save.  Brazo Ciber clubs away on
Zumbido for a bit, then tags in El Mosco.  Zumbido goes for a German
suplex, but Mosco goes behind Zumbido and hits one of his own for a
two count.  Mosco with a somersault splash on Zumbido now, and the pin
attempt... two count.  Zumbido tags in Kickboxer, and Mosco ends up on
the outside after a clothesline, then Kickboxer goes airborne with a
TOPE SUICIDA!  Brazo Ciber comes over on the outside to hit Kickboxer
with a dropkick, sending him into the guardrail.  Back inside, Mosco
and Kickboxer trade blows, ending with a spinning leg lariat by Mosco.
Mosco ducks a roundhouse kick, and delivers a kick of his own,
followed by a power bomb for a two count.  Kickboxer tries to hit the
Superkick, but Mosco ducks, and staggers Kickboxer with a dropkick,
followed by the Northern Lights Suplex.  One... two... THREE!  Fall
one goes to the tecnicos.

Second fall: Super Crazzy and El Mosco start this off.  Lockup,
Kickboxer comes in and knocks down Mosco with a roundhouse kick.
Crazzy goes for a springboard moonsault, but misses his mark, and
Mosco tags Brazo Ciber in.  Crazzy's sent to the outside, and Brazo
Ciber follows him.  Crazzy's sent into the guardrail *twice*, then
he's tossed back in.  Crazzy's begging off in the corner, but Brazo
Ciber's going to have none of that, and stomps away on Crazzy until
Kickboxer hits Brazo Ciber from behind.  Crazzy rolls out, and
Kickboxer will replace him.  Vertical suplex by Kickboxer, then a
bodyslam.  Brazo Ciber manages to toss Kickboxer into the ropes, but
runs right into the Superkick!  Kickboxer goes for the pin, but Rey
Dragon jumps in to make the save.  El Mosco comes in to replace Brazo
Ciber, and knocks down Zumbido and Kickboxer.  Mosco sends Kickboxer
crashing to the mat with a rolling kick, and gets a near fall with an
Asai moonsault.  Kickboxer's sent to the outside, and Mosco's going
for a slingshot somersault plancha!  He dives... and MISSES!  He's
out!  Kickboxer picks him up, tosses him back into the ring, stands
him up, and almost knocks El Mosco's teeth out with the Superkick!
One... two... THREE!  We're tied up.

Third fall: Kickboxer tosses Mosco out of the ring again, but misses a
Superkick attempt, and Rey Dragon jumps onto Kickboxer with a running
somersault plancha!  El Mosco stumbles to his feet, and he, along with
Rey, hit Kickboxer with a double dropkick.  Back into the ring they
go, and Mosco hits Kickboxer with a power bomb, then, as Rey Dragon
sends Crazzy and Zumbido down to earth with a SPACE FLYING TIGER DROP,
Mosco hits the Northern Lights Suplex!  One... two... THREE!!!
Tecnicos win the match!  Great finish.

Two-out-of-three-Falls Match:

MATCH #3: Mosco De La Merced, Histeria, Maniaco and Psicosis (Los
Vipers) (c) vs. Charly Manson, Picudo, May Flowers and Nygma (Los
Vatos Locos) - Mexican National Atomicos Tag Team Title Match -
ELIMINATION BARBED WIRE CAGE MATCH!

A wrestling match?  HA!  There's lots of objects in the ring,
everyone's bringing a weapon of his own...  it's nuts.

This is going to be hell for me to describe...  All 8 men hit the cage
and start to brawl, with fists flying everywhere.  Manson tries to
whip Psic into the barbed wire, but Psic reverses and clotheslines
Manson.  Histeria grabs Nygma, and grinds his face into the barbed
wire!  Sick!  Meanwhile, Flowers whips Maniaco into the barbed wire,
then runs in with a dropkick!  OUCH!  A hurting Nygma tries to suplex
Histeria, but that's countered easily with spinning headscissors.  On
the other side, Mosco is caning the hell out of Picudo with a kendo
stick.  And Psic's starting to climb up the cage!  Remember, only
pinfalls and submissions count in this one.  Los Vatos Locos start to
mount a comeback, with Flowers grabbing a baseball bat and whacking
Mosco's knee with it, sending him down awkwardly.  Meanwhile, poor
Nygma gets his face gouged into the barbed wire again, but Picudo
stumbles over to make the save and sent Histeria crashing down to the
mat with a bodyslam.  Oh, no!  Psic's on top!  FLYING LEGDROP ON
MANSON!!!  But Psic's down as well!  As a side note, the referee is
*outside* the cage, so they count from there.  Flowers goes to the top
rope...  FLYING SPLASH!  Hits Mosco!  One... two... NO!  Mosco still
has a lot left in him!  Picudo takes a chair, and picks up Psicosis...
SPINEBUSTER!  Right onto the chair!  Manson's struggling to get to his
feet, but Histeria's waiting for him...  misses a flying bodypress!
Manson grabs a garbage can, and puts it over Histeria's head...
BULLET DROPKICK!  WOW!  Manson's about to go for the cover...  OH!
Mosco clubbed Manson from behind with brass knuckles!  He rolls Manson
up...  One... two... THREE!  Vipers 1, Vatos Locos 0.

x Merced beat C. Manson via an inside cradle in 0:13:13

Vatos Locos are down a man now, but they're still fighting.  Psicosis
misses a senton, and Picudo counters with some punches to Psic's back.
Meanwhile, Maniaco has some...  clippers?  He's cutting some of the
barbed wire!  What's he doing with that?  Picudo has a cookie sheet...
OUCH!  Down goes Psic, busted open.  And Histeria's running over...
cookie sheet to the gut, and a...  POWERSLAM!  That's Picudo's move!
He's going for the pin, but Mosco breaks it with that kendo stick.
Mosco's choking Picudo with the stick, but Flowers breaks it, and
sends Mosco flying backfirst into the barbed wire!  DAMN!  Picudo's
recovered, and he has Psicosis up...  POWERSLAM!  He's going to...
HOLY CRAP!  Maniaco is choking Picudo with the barbed wire!  He's
trying to put Picudo away for good!  Maniaco might have shredded
Picudo's throat up!  Psic gets up, and Maniaco helps Psic set Picudo
up...  SPIKE POWERBOMB!  Ouch!  Psic goes for the pin...  this is
disgusting.  One... two... three.  That was a no-brainer.  Vipers 2,
Vatos Locos 0.

x Psicosis beat Picudo via a power bomb in 0:17:36

Psic and Mosco go after Flowers, and Histeria and Maniaco attack
Nygma.  Both teams are stomping away on Los Vatos Locos, who are in
deep trouble here.  Histeria and Maniaco pick up Nygma, and send him
into the barbed wire...  OH!  Double dropkick by Los Vipers!  Nygma's
back is busted open big time, and Los Vipers are trying to press the
barbed wire into Nygma's back!  SICK!  Psic and Mosco pick Flowers
up...  another Spike Powerbomb, perhaps?  NO!  Double low blow by
Flowers!  Gutwrench suplex on Psicosis...  One... two... THREE!  HUGE
PIN!  Vipers 2, Vatos Locos 1.

x May Flowers beat Psicosis via a gutwrench suplex in 0:19:29

But things don't look good for Nygma.  While Flowers chokes Mosco with
a belt, Los Vipers have pretty much put Nygma out of commission for a
little while.  His back's bloody, he has two cuts on his head...
He'll need at least 70 stitches for this, folks.  Histeria puts an
armlock hammerlock submission hold onto Nygma... and the referee's
calling for the bell.  Understandable.  Vipers 3, Vatos Locos 1... and
Flowers is in deep crap now!

x Histeria beat Nygma via an armlock hammerlock submission in 0:20:33

Three-on-one attack!  Flowers is trying to fight Los Vipers off, but
he's fading.  Maniaco has that piece of barbed wire, but Flowers kicks
it away!  Los Vipers are stomping away on Flowers now...  Histeria's
going to the top rope, and they're holding Flowers down...
VIPERSAULT!  One... two... NO!  Flowers kicks out!  They hold Flowers
up, as Maniaco goes up top...  MISSED!  THE FLYING DROPKICK MISSED!
Histeria goes down!  Maniaco's shocked, and gets hit with a
clothesline by Flowers!  Mosco runs towards him...  LOW BLOW!
Anything to hold some of them off!  He has Histeria ready, and hits
him with a gutwrench suplex!  Maniaco tries to make the save...
One... two... THREE!  WOW!  Maniaco didn't run over in time!  Vipers
3, Vatos Locos 2.

x May Flowers beat Histeria via a gutwrench suplex in 0:24:44

Flowers has that belt again, and he's trying to choke out Maniaco with
it.  Mosco runs over, but gets belted with a right hand.  To
everyone's surprise, a battered Flowers is taking care of two Vipers
here, at the same time!  Flowers searches through the garbage...  He
has a beer can!  OH!  Gouges it right across Mosco's mask!  The mask
is cut open, and so is Mosco's head!  Mosco's in big trouble...  Runs
at Flowers, but gets a kick in the gut to show for it.  Flowers has
him...  POWER BOMB!  That should be it, but Flowers is going up top!
This could be risky...  FLYING SPLASH!  No, it isn't!  Clothesline to
Maniaco for good measure!  One... two... THREE!  Flowers vs. Maniaco
for the titles!

x May Flowers beat Merced via the Flying Splash in 0:27:48

Flowers picks Maniaco up, and he wants to finish this!  Flowers goes
to whip Maniaco into the barbed wire...  MANIACO REVERSES!  NO!!!
Flowers goes facefirst into the barbed wire!  He was careless, and
Maniaco took full advantage of that!  Flowers is caught in the barbed
wire!  Maniaco's stomping away on Flowers' back!  Maniaco is...
pressing Flowers' face into the barbed wire!  Blood is trickling all
over Flowers' face and chest!  Maniaco picks up...  a chair!  Oh, no!
RIGHT ON FLOWERS' SKULL!  DAMN!  Flowers is out cold!  Flowers props
him up against the barbed wire, and goes up top...  FLYING DROPKICK!
Flowers slumps down to the mat!  Maniaco covers...  One... two...
THREE!!!

x Maniaco beat May Flowers via the Flying Dropkick in 0:32:42

Elimination Barbed Wire No-Countout-No-DQ-Cage Match:
Los Vipers (Mosco De La Merced, Psicosis, Histeria and Maniaco) beat
Los Vatos Locos (Charly Manson, May Flowers, Nygma and Picudo) 4 falls
to 3.
Survivors: Maniaco
Rating: * 1/2
(Los Vipers [Mosco De La Merced, Psicosis, Histeria and Maniaco]
retained the Mexican National Atomicos Tag Team Titles.)

Maniaco managed to make it backstage on his own power, but Flowers had
to be stretchered out.  Los Vipers were ruthless tonight, and Los
Vatos Locos were in bad shape.  Give credit to May Flowers, however.
He put on one hell of a performance in there.

MATCH #4: Octagon vs. Abismo Negro vs. Pentagon - Triangle Match - ONE
FALL

Octagon and Pentagon were waiting in a blood-stained ring, while
Abismo Negro's music played.  It played once... no Abismo.

Twice... no Abismo.  Where is he?  We check backstage... OH!  Abismo's
lying on the concrete, out cold!  There's a lead pipe next to him!
Who would do this?

Octagon and Pentagon are confused, but the fans like this, because
they want... no, NEED to see Pentagon and Octagon go at it again!  The
referee's actually going to start this one...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!  Wait just a damn second!"

Who is that...  Oh, crap.

"Yes, it is I, the greatest wrestler in America... scratch that, the
world, Steve Corino.  Now, I see that your dance partner's kissing the
concrete, so to speak, in the back.  I was walking by, enjoying some
Surge, and I see Abismo, who is obviously pissed drunk, or high, or
something, lying belly-first on the concrete.  So, like any good
wrestler would do to cash in a paycheck, I dropped my Surge and ran
over here, because I want in this match!  I destroyed Niebla last
week, and I'll do the same to you two this week!"

Corino's entering the ring...

"So, who do I get first?  The 5-sided freak, or the 8-sided freak?
Tough choice..."

Corino didn't have to wait.  Both freaks hit him with a dropkick.

REVISED MATCH #4: Octagon vs. Steve Corino vs. Pentagon - Triangle
Match - ONE FALL

Corino is sent outside with a double clothesline, and Octagon and
Pentagon hook up!  Hiptoss by Pentagon, followed by another one
courtesy of Octagon.  Pentagon with a kick to Octagon's gut, followed
by a jumping side kick.  Pentagon sends Octagon to the outside
following a backdrop, and Corino stomps away on him before Pentagon
tags him in!  Corino misses an elbow, and Octagon hits his for a two
count.  Octagon tosses Corino into the ropes, but he slides under
Octagon's legs, and hits a DDT before tagging Pentagon in.  Pentagon
waits for Octagon to get up, and sends him crashing to earth with a
Russian legsweep.  Frankensteiner by Pentagon, but Octagon kicks out
at two.  Octagon makes the diving tag to Corino, who doesn't look too
pleased.  Corino manages to knock down Pentagon with a spinning DDT
for two, but Pentagon bounces right back with a pair of spin kicks
that knock Corino loopy.  Corino tries some chops, but Pentagon blocks
them all and hits some of his own.  Clothesline by Pentagon, which
gets two.  Another spin kick by Pentagon, which gets two as well.
Pentagon catches Octagon by surprise with the tag, and the rudo gets
clotheslined over the top as a reward.  Corino catches Octagon by
surprise, however, and hits him with a power bomb for the two count.
Belly-to-back suplex by Corino, but he can't capitalize, as Octagon
catches Corino with a Russian legsweep, and tags Pentagon in!
Pentagon misses a slingshot kneedrop, and Corino gets a two count with
a fisherman suplex.  Clothesline by Corino, followed by a facerake.
Pentagon's whipped into the corner, Corino runs in... nobody home!
Pentagon with some chops in the corner, and a Mexican armdrag takedown
on Corino.  And now Octagon's tagged in, again.  Corino goes down
after some spinning headscissors, and walks right into a faceslam by
Octagon.  Corino's trying everything to stay alive, as he and Octagon
trade blows.  Corino finally tags in Pentagon, and here we go!  Both
men going at it with a flurry of punches!  Flying cross body by
Octagon... two count!  Pentagon works his way behind Octagon, and goes
for a backslide... two count!  Savate kick by Pentagon!  Octagon
counters with a jumping side kick!  Octagon goes for the clothesline,
misses... OH!  What a superkick by Pentagon!  Jumping side kick by
Pentagon, but Octagon manages to recover with some punches to the
head!  They're both going at it, and... wait a sec!  Blue Demon Jr.'s
coming to the ring!  Corino sees this, and trips the ref!  Demon Jr.
walks into the ring, and grabs Octagon...  STUNNER!  NO!  Octagon
pushed Demon Jr. away!  They're both going at it!  Pentagon tries to
attack Octagon... STUNNER!  Down he goes!  Octagon is hammering away
on Demon Jr., and he's forcing him out of the ring...  OH!  Hotshot by
Demon Jr., and Octagon goes down!  Octagon and Pentagon are both down,
and in comes Corino!  NO!  Corino kicks Pentagon out of the ring, and
picks up Octagon...  DRAGON SUPLEX!  NO!  NO!  The referee's up...
One...  two...  THREE!!!  HOLY CRAP!  UPSET!

Triangle Match:
Steve Corino defeated Octagon and Pentagon when Corino pinned Octagon
with the Dragon Suplex in 0:16:43.
Rating: **

Oh, crap!  Steve Corino just defeated Octagon!  What a shock!  Corino
had a huge assist from Blue Demon Jr., and managed to get the pin!
After the match...  Corino wants to hit Octagon with another Dragon
Suplex!  Corino picks Octagon up...  OH!  Russian legsweep by Octagon!
We know what this means...  OCTACLUTCH!  Octagon's got it locked on,
and Corino's fading!  He's tapping!  Octagon finally releases the
hold, and storms to the back, not at all pleased with what just went
down.

Now, it's time for the MAIN EVENT!!!

MAIN EVENT: Cibernetico (c) vs. Pierroth Jr. - AAA Champion of

returns the favor!  They go back into the ring, where Pierroth hits
Cibernetico with a stomachbreaker, but only gets a two count in the
first pin attempt of the match.  Lariat on Cibernetico by Pierroth,
followed by a back suplex... and they go outside the ring again.

men enter the ring again.  Oh... Cibernetico picks Pierroth up!
Spinebuster!  One... two... KICKOUT!  Cibernetico's... searching for

of commission, and Los Vipers aren't in any shape to fight them off!
Here comes Maniaco, who takes Chicana down, but he's no match for the
other three after that brutal match before...  wait a second!  Here
comes Canek!  And Perro Aguayo!  They're coming into the ring, and

show ends!  What the hell?

Notes:

- It's expected that some people may be getting their walking papers
this weekend, as AAA prepares to sign some new talent.
- AAA will be heading to Texas next week, but first, a stop in San
Diego for this week's house show.
- There are some rumors going around that someone is interested in
"jumping ship" as it were, to AAA.  Nothing confirmed on that yet.
- Quite a few big-name contracts are running out soon...
