Nemesis and Geo beat Fugaz and Thunderbird 2 falls to 0:
x Geo beat Thunderbird via the Power Bomb in 0:13:03
x Geo beat Fugaz via the Power Bomb in 0:22:28
Rating: 3/4*

One nice way to look at these dark matches is that AAA's grooming the
youngsters of the future.  Or something like that.  In any event, Geo
pins both Thunderbird and Fugaz with the Power Bomb for the rudo
victory.

Welcome to AAA TV, back in Mexico City, and in our new Friday night
time slot!  Before the night even starts, we have a huge announcement
to make.  Over the next few weeks, AAA will be running the first ever
Caged Fury Tournament, with an estimated cash purse of $100,000
(American) for the winner!  Here's how the tournament will work.

- Each match takes place in a cage.
- All matches are singles matches, set for one fall.
- Anything goes in the cage, within reason - low blows and piledrivers
are grounds for instant disqualification by the referee.
- The only ways to win the match are either by submission, or by
referee's decision.

Now, the 8 winners of the First Round advance to the Second Round.  As
for the 8 losers...  They're in trouble.  Why?  Because they move into
a loser-advances tournament, with the "winner" losing his mask or
hair!  Here are the brackets for the two groups of the tournament:

Group 1:

Ultimo Dragon vs. Pierroth Jr.
Discovery vs. Histeria
Brazo De Oro vs. Binary
Pentagon vs. Abismo Negro

Group 2:

Magnum Tokyo vs. Aguila
Electro Shock vs. May Flowers
Perro Aguayo vs. Sangre Chicana
Heavy Metal vs. Gran Apache

Tonight, we'll see Discovery take on Histeria, and Ultimo Dragon will
face Pierroth Jr.!  Two huge matches there.  As well, Electro Shock
will face May Flowers at this week's house show.  A big show, as we
head to the ring for action!

MATCH #1: La Parkita, Mini Discovery and Pikachu vs. Mewtwo (AAA
Debut), Mini Abismo Negro and Mini Psicosis - 2/3 FALL MATCH

Yes, you read that correctly.  Before the match, the new AAA mini
introduced himself as Mewtwo, and basically said that he had two goals
in AAA - To win the Mexican National Minis Title, and to make
Pikachu's life a living hell.  OK...

First fall:  La Parkita and Mini Psic start off.  Parkita goes for a
handshake, but Mini Psic clobbers him with a clothesline instead!
Some quick punches by Mini Psic, who seems to have the upper hand
until Parkita takes him down with spinning headscissors.  Mexican
armdrag takedown by Parkita, who decides to do a Parka Dance (TM) at
this point.  Mini Psic springs up, takes down Parkita with a legsweep,
then locks on a scorpion deathlock.  Parkita reaches the ropes after a
few seconds, but then gets taken down with a Samoan Drop for a two
count.  Dropkick by Mini Psic, followed by another power bomb for two.
Mini Psic keeps the momentum going with a spinning leg lariat on
Parkita, followed by a flying dropkick.  Mini Psic motions to the
corner...  AND TAGS IN MEWTWO!  Mewtwo is now making his official AAA
debut!  Armbar submission by Mewtwo, and Parkita's trapped!  Mewtwo
relinquishes the hold, then hits a senton...  TWO COUNT!  Rana by
Mewtwo...  TWO COUNT!  Mewtwo picks La Parkita up...  MICHINOKU
DRIVER!!!  WOW!  This could be it...  HUH?  Mewtwo tagged Mini Abismo
into the ring!  Mini Abismo doesn't look too happy about that!  While
Mini Abismo and Mewtwo argue...  PARKITA TAGS IN PIKACHU!  Here we go!
Mini Abismo goes straight for the top rope, but Pikachu catches him...
BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPERPLEX!!!  WHOA!  Pikachu hits a spin kick on Mini
Abismo, then springs off the ropes...  PIKA-SAULT!  The cover...
One...  two...  THREE!!!  TECNICOS TAKE THE FIRST FALL!!!

Second fall:  Mini Abismo boots Pikachu in the midsection right away,
and goes for a power bomb, but Pikachu counters with a headscissor
takedown.  A pair of forearms by Pikachu, followed by a series of
chops in the corner.  Pikachu whips Mini Abismo into the ropes, but
gets taken down with a flying bodypress for a two count!  Mini
Abismo...  TAGS IN MEWTWO!  Now Mewtwo doesn't look too impressed, and
runs into the ring...  CLOTHESLINE BY PIKACHU!  Spinning headscissors
by Pikachu follows that, followed by a flying armdrag.  Pikachu then
misses a shoulderblock, and Mewtwo takes him down with a single-leg
takedown.  Tag to Mini Psic.  Mini Psic goes up top...  MISSES THE
FLYING LEGDROP!  He rolls outside, and Pikachu's up...  PLANCHA TO THE
OUTSIDE!  WOW!  Both men make it back inside, and Pikachu tags in La
Parkita, but Mini Psic takes Pikachu down with a Hotshot right after
the tag!  La Parkita jumps up onto Mini Psic's shoulders...  VICTORY
ROLL!  One...  two...  NO!  Two count!  Pikachu gets back up, and they
hit Mini Psic with a double dropkick!  Another Victory Roll attempt by
La Parkita...  MINI PSIC REVERSES THE PIN ATTEMPT!  One...  two...
KICKOUT!  Mini Psic tosses La Parkita into the ropes...
FRANKENSTEINER!  Mini Psic missed a clothesline, and got drilled with
the Frankensteiner!  Cover...  One...  two...  THREE!!!  TECNICOS
SWEEP IT!

MATCH #3: Discovery vs. Histeria - AAA Caged Fury Tournament - FIRST
ROUND MATCH (Group 1)

Both men go at it right after the opening bell with a flurry of blows,
before Discovery hits a Frankensteiner!  Discovery goes for another
one, but Histeria counters with a brutal tiger driver!  Histeria then
tries a handspring moonsault, but Discovery manages to get his knees
up!  Histeria pounds away on Discovery's back, and grinds his face
against the cage.  Histeria tries to go for an armlock submission, but
Discovery blocks it and hits an armdrag takedown.  Flying dropkick by
Discovery, who then takes Histeria down with a rana.  Discovery locks
on an abdominal stretch, but Histeria manages to break the hold.
Discovery keeps the pressure on with some chops, followed by a huge

MATCH #4: Magnum Tokyo and Octagon vs. Abismo Negro and Blue Demon Jr.
- ONE FALL

Before the match, Blue Demon Jr. grabs the microphone, and starts to
taunt Tokyo, saying that his mentor was beaten "by the best" at Noche
del Terror, and tonight, Tokyo's going to get creamed "like the rest".
Tokyo then grabs the microphone, and reminds Demon Jr. that he still
owes him a UWA Junior Heavyweight Title shot!  Demon Jr. acts
flustered for a second, then charges Tokyo, but gets sent over the top
rope with a backdrop!  The match is on!

Tokyo connects with a swinging neckbreaker on Abismo Negro, then hits
a side suplex.  Standing moonsault by Tokyo, which gets him a two
count.  Abismo then gets planted with a DDT, which also gets two.  Is
this the same Abismo Negro who unmasked Corazon De Leon as Chris
Jericho at Noche del Terror?  After a quick dance, Tokyo goes for a
springboard dropkick...  BUT MISSES!  The tag is made to Demon Jr.,
who stomps away on Tokyo a few times, then hits a shoulderblock.
Demon Jr. then rolls up Tokyo for two.  Powerslam by Demon Jr.,
followed by a senton for two.  Demon Jr. tosses Tokyo into the ropes,
and wants him to tag Octagon in!  Tokyo complies, and Demon Jr. gets
tossed around the ring with a series of hiptosses, followed by a
clothesline.  Back suplex by Octagon gets two.  Finally, Demon Jr.
gets the advantage with an eye gouge, then hits a power bomb for a two
count.  And now...  WHAT THE HELL IS DEMON JR. DOING?  He wants
Octagon to tag Tokyo in!  Octagon does, of course, and Tokyo hits
Demon Jr. with a vertical suplex.  Tokyo goes into the ropes, but
Abismo holds down the top rope.  So, of course, Tokyo goes tumbling to
the outside.  While Abismo and Octagon brawl, Demon Jr. rams Tokyo's
head into the guardrail, then tosses him into the ringsteps!
Frankensteiner by Demon Jr. on Tokyo as soon as they get back into the
ring, which gets a two count.  Some kicks by Demon Jr., followed by
spinning headscissors.  Abismo then runs in, and clocks Tokyo with a
clothesline!  Demon Jr. and Abismo give each other a high-five...  BUT
TOKYO TAGGED OCTAGON!  Demon Jr. didn't see it!  Flying cross body
press by Octagon!  One...  two...  SHOULDER UP!  Octagon hits an
armdrag takedown, followed by a bodyslam!  And...  PENTAGON'S RUNNING
DOWN TO RINGSIDE!  Octagon hits Demon Jr. with the Russian legsweep,
and he signals for the Octaclutch...  PENTAGON DRAGS OCTAGON TO THE
OUTSIDE!  Abismo and Pentagon are double-teaming Octagon on the
outside, and Demon Jr.'s distracting the ref!  Demon Jr. starts
laughing at Octagon, but doesn't notice Magnum Tokyo coming into the
ring...  VIAGRA DRIVER!!!  OUT OF NOWHERE!  Demon Jr. is down!
Pentagon tries to come in, but Tokyo nails him with a Hotshot!
Octagon now has the upper hand on Abismo!  Tokyo springs to the top
rope...  AV STAR PRESS ON THE MEXICAN NATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
The cover...  One...  two...  THREE!!!  HUGE UPSET!!!

Octagon and Magnum Tokyo defeated Abismo Negro and Blue Demon Jr. when
M. Tokyo pinned Demon Jr. with the AV Star Press in 0:10:45.
Rating: ** 1/4

After the match, we learned that next week, Magnum Tokyo will take on
Blue Demon Jr. in the return bout for the UWA Junior Heavyweight
Title!  That one will be great, I can assure you that!  BTW, Abismo,
Pentagon and Demon Jr. all left the ring together, surprisingly.

MAIN EVENT: Ultimo Dragon vs. Pierroth Jr. - AAA Caged Fury Tournament
- FIRST ROUND MATCH (Group 1)

This match is *huge*.  Dragon and Pierroth want a piece of each other,
and with the tournament format, a loss here could be fatal.

They're ready to lock up...  OH!  Pierroth just decked the ref before
the match even started!  Dragon goes right after Pierroth, and gets in
a flurry of mounted punches!  Dragon grabs Pierroth...  TOSSES HIM
INTO THE CAGE!  Pierroth's dizzy...  SPIN KICK!  Dragon wants to
finish this right now!  I...  WHAT THE HELL???  Tradicion's on the
outside of the cage, and El Cobarde is distracting Dragon!  Pierroth's
still down!  And...  THE LOCK'S BEEN BROKEN!  TRADICION IS IN THE
RING!  The match hasn't even started yet!  Sangre Chicana tries his
luck first...  SPIN KICK!  El Cobarde goes next...  RANA!  El Texano
charges into the corner and misses...  DRAGON SLEEPER!!!  Dragon has
it locked on...  EL DANDY WITH A FAUL ON DRAGON!!!  DRAGON GOES DOWN!
Tradicion drags Dragon to the center of the ring, and they proceed to
stomp away!  Dragon's in deep trouble!  Pierroth's getting up, and
he's gone outside...  HE HAS A CHAIR!  Pierroth comes back to the ring
with a chair, and he's taunting Dragon!  Pierroth...  Oh, no!  NO!
Pierroth's placing Dragon's left arm in the chair!  That arm's not
100%!  PIERROTH STOMPS ON THE CHAIR!  DRAGON IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!
Pierroth continues to stomp away on the chair, and Dragon is wailing
like a banshee!  Pierroth's inviting the other members of Tradicion to
take their shots at Dragon...  COBARDE WITH A SENTON ONTO THE CHAIR!
Chicana and Texano each stomp on the chair once, while El Dandy goes
to the top rope...  FLYING ELBOWDROP ONTO THE CHAIR!  Tradicion leaves
the ring, while Pierroth finally takes the chair off of Dragon's
obviously injured arm!  Pierroth smashes Dragon in the face with a
chair, then locks on a sleeperhold!  This is disgusting!  The referee
finally comes to...  The right arm goes up once...  twice...  THREE
TIMES!!!  PIERROTH ADVANCES!  But as for Ultimo Dragon...

Non-Title-Submission Cage Match:
Pierroth Jr. made Ultimo Dragon submit to a sleeperhold in 0:00:18.
Rating: **

Pierroth and Tradicion are leaving ringside, but...  ANTONIO PENA'S
OUT!  And he has the microphone!

"Pierroth...  I've had it with you!  I've been pretty lenient with you
so far, but this is the last straw!  As of this moment, you are
suspended INDEFINITELY from wrestling in AAA!"

Pierroth looks shocked!  Pierroth talks to Tradicion, then grabs the
microphone from Pena...

"Pena...  I'll save you the trouble.  I QUIT!  JAJAJA!"

Pena looks shocked...  PIERROTH BOOTS PENA IN THE MIDSECTION!  Oh, no!
PIERROTHBOMB!  PIERROTHBOMB ON PENA!  PENA IS OUT COLD!!!  Pierroth
flips off the fans, and runs out with Tradicion!  The fans are
outraged!  Wrestlers run out from the back, as a few check on Pena...
But Dragon doesn't look like he's in good shape at all.  Magnum Tokyo,
Mr. Niebla, Aguila, Octagon and Negro Casas are all out there,
checking on Dragon, as the EMT's come to the ring.  With that, the
show fades to black...
