(Angel Mortal no-showed.)

Avispa took Mortal's place after he called in sick with the flu.
OK...  Third fall was all right, but the match as a whole was pretty
bad.  Thunderbird messed up a plancha early on.  He still has some
work to do, but he comes out on top.

(We see Abismo Negro arriving in his car at the arena.  Suffice it to
say that he looks pissed.  Abismo storms through the backstage area,
and stops at the Viper dressing room.  Abismo pauses, then spits on
the door, and storms to the ring, grabbing a microphone on the way.)

Abismo: CIBERNETICO!  Get the f*ck out here right now, and bring the
other three Vipers with you!

WHOA!  What is Abismo doing?  Well...  All of Los Vipers are in the
ring now.

Ciber: Abismo, what's the problem?
Abismo:  What's the problem?  WHAT'S THE PROBLEM!  I'll tell you what
the problem is!  Last week, I'm positive that I wasn't PierrothBombed
onto my head...  I WAS CIBERBOMBED!!!
Ciber: I...  What are you talking about?
Abismo: Remember?  Last week, the subway, the masked security guard -
THAT WAS YOU!!!
Ciber: Abismo, I don't think...
Abismo: I knew it was coming.  You and me have been slowly parting
ways.  When Electro Shock... left, you never went out to find a new
Viper!  When Mosco quit AAA, you never went out to find a new Viper,
let alone a new Mosco, for crying out loud!  You seemed to think that
I would take care of the problems, but guess what?  It was your
problem.  I think that Heavyweight Title's gone to your head, Ciber.
Ciber: Abismo...  ARE YOU NUTS???  Why would I do anything like that?
Abismo: I don't want to hear it, Ciber!  At the moment, I'm this close
to leaving your f*cking stupid stable, and going out on my own!  You
hear me?
Ciber: I don't think that's such a wise idea!
(Maniaco, Histeria, and Psicosis take a step towards Abismo)
Abismo: ...Fine.  Play that game.  I want a tag match tonight!  Me and
a... Viper, against you and a Viper!
Ciber: Fine!  You want to act like a jackass, then go right ahead!  Me
and Psic will take care of you!
Abismo: *looks at Histeria and Maniaco*  Maniaco...  Stay at ringside
for the match.  Histeria, you're my partner!
Histeria: Hey!  I don't want to get dragged into this...
Abismo: TOUGH!  You're a Viper.  You should be used to this...
*glares at Ciber as he leaves the ring*
Ciber ...idiot.

...I'm stunned.  There's obvious tension in the camp of Los Vipers,
and we may see the end of an era tonight.  Ciber/Psic vs.
Abismo/Histeria.

Welcome to AAA TV, and we are back in Mexico!  Coming to you from
Acapulco, we have five great matches, including Negro Casas vs. Charly

Kickboxer in control now, as he hits Niebla with a suplex for a two

having some fun on the outside, but...  Uh-oh.  Here comes El Texano

going to make the save...  SPEAR FOR KICKBOXER!  Casas following up
with a series of rights, as Texano and Chicana try to leave the

Casas stayed around, because he'd be in our next match...

(Cut to Xochitl Hamada and Miss Janeth in the women's locker room.)

Janeth: Why aren't you telling me what's going on?
Xochitl: ...What?
Janeth: Oh, come on, Xochitl.  What's with all these flowers and
candies being sent to you, hm?  Who's sending them?
Xochitl: ...Nobody...
Janeth: ...I thought you could come up with a better excuse than that,
Xochitl.
Xochitl: ...*sigh* Fine.  You want me to tell you?
Janeth: Yes.
Xochitl: Positive?
Janeth: Yes...
Xochitl: Because I don't know if I should...
Janeth: YES!  Now tell me!
Xochitl: All right...  *whispers into Janeth's ear*
Janeth: ...WHAT???  How are you going to get out of this one, Xochitl?
Xochitl: ...I don't know yet.  I'll figure something out soon.
Janeth: You'd better.  *shudder*

MATCH #2: Negro Casas vs. Charly Manson - 2/3 FALL MATCH

First fall: Shown in full.  Lockup, Manson puts Negro into an
abdominal stretch, but he breaks the hold easily, and counters with a
jab.  Manson with a rake to the eyes, followed by some kicks and
chops.  Manson whips Casas into the ropes, and clips him with a
clothesline.  Casas is in position for a power bomb...  NO!  SMALL
PACKAGE!  One...  KICKOUT!  Manson was on the ball there.  Manson
takes Casas down with an elbow, then whips him into the ropes...  BIG
CLOTHESLINE!  Here's the cover...  TWO COUNT!  Manson picks up Casas
for a vertical suplex...  BLOCKED!  Second time...  BLOCKED!  Third
time...  Casas with a GREAT vertical suplex!  Casas whips Manson into
the ropes...  OH!  Casas ran right into Manson's knee, and the rudo's
back in control.  Manson places Casas into a variation of a kneelock
submission hold, but Casas sneaks up to the ropes in 10 seconds and
breaks the hold.  Manson with a kick to the gut, followed by a
clothesline that sends Casas up...  AND OVER!  Manson's running off
the ropes...  RUNNING TOPE TO NOWHERE!!!  Casas moved out of the way!
Casas with a clothesline on the outside, followed by whipping Manson
into the guardrail.  Casas tosses Manson into the ring, and he's
climbing the top rope...  Manson's...  SHAKING THE ROPES!  OH!  Casas
falls onto the top turnbuckle!  Manson climbs up top...

NO!  Two count!  So close, but Manson has the advantage...  OH!  It's
over!  Bullet Dropkick as soon as Casas got up!  One...  two...
THREE!!!  Manson takes the first fall!

Second fall: Cut straight to the finish.  Manson hits Casas with
spinning headscissors, but only gets a two count.  Manson argues the
call with the official, and that was a perfect chance for Casas to
execute the Casita!  One, two, three!  Casas takes the second fall,
but Manson still banged him up pretty good.

Third fall: We cut to midway through the fall.  Manson has just hit
Casas with a slingshot legdrop, and makes a sloppy cover which only
earns him two.  Manson whips Casas into the ropes, and takes him down
with a huge clothesline for another two count.  Manson signals that
it's over, and he climbs up top..  ASAI MOONSAULT!!!  WOW!  What a
great move there by Manson, as he goes for the pin...  One...  two...
NO!  NO!  NO!  TWO COUNT!  Manson is irate!  He picks up Casas...
CASITA!!!  Manson wasn't expecting that!  One...  two...  THREE!!!

Rating: ** 3/4

After the match, Casas struggled to get up onto his feet, and that's
when he - and we - heard Gran Apache.

"Casas...  *laughs*  That was, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the *worst*
performance I've ever seen from you!  I mean, come on!  You had to
finish off MANSON with two Casitas???  You were lucky, Casas.  At
Verano, in the Boxing Match, there will be *no* second chances.  There
will be *no* Casitas.  There will be *no* lucky breaks.  At Verano,
I'm going to put you away...  FOR GOOD!"

...Ouch.

MATCH #3: Rey Dragon, Super Nova II and Heavy Metal vs. Steve Corino,
Moto Cross and Nemesis - 2/3 FALL MATCH

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, seniors and drunks, it is time
for the only show in town that's actually *worth* watching - the Steve
Corino Show!  Tonight, you will see...  ME!  I'm the only game in
town, like it or not.  And, just to prove that I am the best, take a
look at what happened in the back a little while ago.  Go on, look!"

I...  OH!  Super Nova's out cold!  And there's a...  BRICK lying next
to him???  This isn't good...

"See?  Nova crossed my path, and paid the price!  *crowd cheers,
because Venum II's standing right behind Corino!*  And they call
themselves Power Rangers.  HA!  Weakest bunch of pussies that I've
ever seen...  AAH!"

That was when Venum hit Corino with a dropkick from behind for those
remarks.

First fall: Clipped to the middle.  Dragon and Venum whip Nemesis into
the ropes, and catch him with a double elbowsmash.  Dragon goes for a
flying dropkick, but Nemesis counters with one of his own in a *nice*
spot!  Nemesis locks on the Boston crab, and tags Moto Cross in.
Venum's waiting for him, however...  ASAI MOONSAULT!!!  What a move!
Now Rey Dragon's up on top...  MOONSAULT BODYBLOCK!  One...  two...
FOOT ON THE ROPE!  That was close.  Flying armdrag takedown by Dragon,
who tosses Moto Cross into the ropes...  SUPERKICK!!!  Great counter
by Moto Cross, but he can't make the cover in time...  Or can he?
One...  two...  KICKOUT!  Not good enough!  Moto Cross goes for a
power bomb...  RANA!  Great reversal by Rey Dragon!  Dragon goes off
the ropes...  Textbook flying cross body!  Here's the cover...  One...
two...  Nemesis goes for the pin, but Metal cuts him off...  THREE!!!
Tecnicos take the first fall!

Second fall: Clipped to the middle.  Nemesis had just hit Dragon with
a Soviet suplex, but the second one was blocked.  Dragon tosses
Nemesis out of the ring, and goes to jump...  But he notices that
Corino has a chair!  Dragon chooses to let Nemesis back in.
Single-leg takedown by Dragon, followed by a Mexican armdrag takedown,
which gets two.  Dragon whips Nemesis into the ropes, but that's
countered with a rolling kick!  Nemesis sets up Dragon for a
jack-knife power bomb, but Dragon blocks it...  AND CAN'T THE SECOND
TIME!  One...  two...  KICKOUT!  Corino comes into the ring, and
DRILLS Rey Dragon with a superkick!  Nemesis waits for Dragon to get
to his feet...  FLYING DROPKICK!  The count...  The cover...  THE
VICTORY!!!  Rudos take fall two.

Third fall: Clipped to the end.  Venum II has just hit Nemesis with a
flying dropkick, and he's going up top for an Asai moonsault...
NEMESIS CATCHES HIM!  What's he going to do...  TOMBSTONE!  TOMBSTONE!
He has him set up...  Heavy Metal with the save!!!  Everyone's in the
ring, and we have a six-man brawl!  Corino's tossed to the outside,
and Metal runs after him...  TOPE SUICIDA!!!  Moto Cross sees this,
and runs off the ropes...  RUNNING SOMERSAULT PLANCHA!!!  Venum II
just has to join in, of course...  ASAI TWISTING PLANCHA!!!  WOW!  Now
here comes Nemesis...  SLINGSHOT SOMERSAULT PLANCHA!!!  WHOA!  And
finally, Rey Dragon's waiting a bit...  Here he goes!  SPACE FLYING
TIGER DROP!!!!!  Corino, Nemesis *and* Moto Cross all get nailed!!!
What a series of dives!  Heavy Metal's recovered, and he tosses a
semi-conscious Nemesis into the ring...  One...  two...  THREE!!!
Nemesis went into that guardrail hard after that Space Flying Tiger
Drop, and Heavy Metal took advantage to give his team the win!  Great
match!

need it!  JAJAJA!

WOW!  Pierroth/Cobarde/Texano/Chicana vs. Canek/Tokyo/Niebla/Dragon -
in a WAR GAMES MATCH!  That one will be wild!

Now I...  What's this?  (static fills the screen)

[The year 2000.  The world is tossed into chaos.  Thanks to the Y2K
bug.  Businesses go bankrupt...  Stock exchanges go into turmoil...
Computers cease to function...  Planes crash.  The dawning of a new
age is at hand.  The dawning of a savior.  The dawning of a new
millennium.  The dawning of...  BINARY.]

...That was...  Odd.

MAIN EVENT: Cibernetico and Psicosis (Los Vipers) vs. Abismo Negro and
Histeria (Los Vipers?) - ONE FALL

Only fall: Shown in full.  Histeria came to the ring *with* Abismo
Negro...  AND BOTH WERE SMILING???  Cibernetico and Psicosis are
shocked!  Have both Histeria and Abismo turned their backs on Los
Vipers???  Maniaco comes to ringside to watch the match, looking just
as shocked as Ciber and Psic.

Histeria and Ciber start off right away.  Lockup, Cibernetico misses a
clothesline, and Histeria hits an elbow.  Histeria goes for a
spinebuster slam, but Ciber's quick to counter with a swinging
neckbreaker.  Cibernetico with a spinebuster slam of his own now for a
two count.  Histeria gets up, and tags Abismo in.  They toss Ciber
into the ropes, but he responds with a double clothesline!  Ciber and
Abismo are in the ring...  THEY GO AT IT!  Ciber goes for a Gorilla
Press, but Abismo rakes his eyes, and nails Ciber with a flying
dropkick.  Kick to the stomach by Abismo, and Ciber goes through the
ropes.  Abismo runs off the ropes...  And he *teases* a dive, but
doesn't follow up.  As soon as Ciber gets back into the ring...  FAUL!
BY HISTERIA!!!  DAMN!  Abismo bodyslams Ciber, and covers for two.  He
does it again, and gets another two count.  Abismo then locks on a
front facelock, and keeps the pressure on until he's forced to break.
Abismo starts to yell at Cibernetico, and sets him up in the corner
for a series of chops.  Ciber's whipped into the ropes, and Abismo
hits a dropkick for another two count.  Tag's made to Histeria.  They
set Ciber up...  Double vertical suplex!  Nice move!  Both men...  Oh,
come on.  They *pose* for the crowd and taunt Maniaco.  And Ciber's
rolled out of the ring...  AND PSIC'S IN!!!  Abismo turns around...
CLOTHESLINE!  Histeria looks...  CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Psicosis hits Abismo with a power bomb for a two count!  Psicosis
signals for the finish, but Abismo pokes Psic in the eye and tags
Histeria in.  Abismo leaves to argue with Maniaco, but that's not good
for Maniaco!  Ciber's back in, and he and Psic toss Histeria into the
ropes...  DOUBLE BACKDROP!  Again...  DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!  And
again...  DOUBLE DROPKICK!  Great teamwork by Psic and Ciber, and the
crowd *loves* it!  Cibernetico with a spinebuster slam...  One...
two...  KICKOUT!  Psicosis with a senton!  One...  two...  SHOULDER
UP!  Abismo sees what's happening in the ring, and grabs a...  BARBED
WIRE BAT!  Psicosis has Histeria in position for the Flying Legdrop...
OH!  Abismo *drilled* Psic from behind with the barbed wire bat, and
Psic falls to the mat, clutching his head!  Histeria's up now, and he
signals that it's time to finish this...  He's going up top for the
Vipersault!  This could finish it!  It takes Histeria a while to set
it up...  HE JUMPS!  NOBODY HOME!!!  Histeria's down, and Psicosis is
slowly crawling over, busted open...  TAG TO CIBERNETICO!  Abismo goes
after Psicosis, but Maniaco steps in, and they're brawling on the
outside!  Cibernetico has dragged Histeria to the announce position!
What's he going to do?  Ciber kicks Histeria in the midsection...  Oh,
no!  NO!  CIBERBOMB!  CIBERBOMB RIGHT THROUGH THE SPANISH BROADCAST
BOOTH!  He's forcing the ref to count...  One...  two...  THREE!!!
CIBER AND PSIC WIN!

Los Vipers (Psicosis and Cibernetico) defeated Los Vipers (Abismo
Negro and Histeria) when Cibernetico pinned Histeria with the
CiberBomb in 0:12:48.
Rating: 3/4*

Cibernetico and a beaten Psicosis win, but...  Another Histeria just
ran out!!!  Another Histeria is out, and he's...  CUT OFF BY
CIBERNETICO!  Cibernetico looks at this Histeria...  AND STARTS TO
FIGHT WITH HIM!!!  Cibernetico and Histeria (II) are fighting in the
aisleway!  Meanwhile, the beaten Histeria is slowly getting to his
feet, and Psicosis is stumbling towards him...  STUNNER!!!  WHAT THE
HELL???  Histeria with a Stunner on Psicosis!  Maniaco charges him...
STUNNER!!!  Histeria hops over to Abismo Negro...  STUNNER!!!  Abismo
didn't expect that at all!!!  And now Cibernetico has Histeria (II) in
position for a CiberBomb, but he's grabbed from behind...  STUNNER!!!
And a Stunner to Histeria (II) for good measure!  THAT'S NOT HISTERIA!
He takes off his mask...

Blue Demon Jr.: *laughs*  You guys are pathetic!  Abismo *believed*
that Histeria would tag with him, Cibernetico thought that the real
Histeria was a fake, and Psicosis can't keep his guard up at all!
Cibernetico, at Verano, I'm taking that Heavyweight Title.  There's no
question about that!  And as for the rest of your dysfunctional
unit...  Words fail me. *laughs*  Take care!

Cibernetico's down!  Psicosis is down!  Histeria's down, Maniaco is
down, and Abismo's down!  Blue Demon Jr. just destroyed all five
Vipers, and he clearly sent a message out...  He's mad as hell, and
he's not going to take it anymore!  See you next week!
