CMLL on FSE for 10/26/08

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol
For October 26, ’08

I almost missed this, I did miss AAA, my recorder adjusted to a time change that won’t happen until next weekend. I guess the date should be the 27 since it was at 2 a.m. but this is easier. There were no extraneous bits, only lucha libre.

Hijo Del Fantasma, La Sombra, La Mascara              vs
Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico

1st Fall:  Fantasma on his way to the ring, grabbed a ring girls’ ass. The Infernales attack right away. There must have an edit, as this lasted only seconds, and the tecnicos masks were all loosened. Nosferatu power bombed Fantasma and they gang submitted him to a stretch. They also gang submitted Sombra.

2nd Fall. 
They’re beating down Fantasma, after several minutes, the tecnicos make a come back. Mascara did a tope to Nosferatu, Fantasma did a power bomb to Euforia from the top, and Sombra did a spring board huricanrana to Euforia and pinned him. Fanasma submits Satanico to a arm bar.

3rd Fall:  Mascara is putting moves all 3 Infernales. Sombra did a head scissors, into a tope/armdrag outside the ring to Nosferatu.  Fantasma enzuigiri’s Satanico. Nosferatu misses a spear on Sombra and hits the post. Fantasma did a tope and Sombra did a moonsault from the top post, dangerous move as Fantasma went through the ropes Sombra was on top of. Mascara did a ‘rana into a La Cambana to submit Satanico. Fantasma hurt his leg on the tope, he was stretchered out.

Volador Jr., Blue Panther, LA Park       vs
El Terrible, Villano 4 & 5

1st Fall:  I can’t tell the Villano’s apart, sorry, anyway, the rudos
came out and attacked early during the intros. One of the Villano’s suplex’s Panther in the aisle. The rudo beat down is underway. One of the Villanos does a back slide and pins Volador. Terrible submits Park, and the Villanos submit Panther together.

2nd Fall:  The tecnicos are still getting stomped as this fall begins. After a couple of minutes the tecnicos mount a come back of course. The tecnicos did a 3 way tope at the same time. They made it back in, but the rudos were all counted out of the ring.

3rd Fall:  The match settles down with both sides trading moves back and forth. Park gave Terrible a back stabber. A few near falls on both sides, but someone would come in to break it up every time. Volador topes Terrible, Park topes V-4. More near falls between Panther and V-5, then Panther topes him. Park did an inverted ‘rana and pinned V-5. Volador did a regular ‘rana and pinned Terrible. Afterward Park challenges Wagner
even doing all Wagner’s catch phrases.

That wraps up the show. About average.

Caneda Tres CMLL for 9/27/08

Caneda Tres CMLL for 9/27/08

I’ve been having trouble recording with RealPlayer since I got Firefox 3 & IE8. So I uninstalled RealPlayer and reinstalled it, and that seemed to work. At least for now.

Sombra De Plata & El Soberano     vs     Puma King & Tiger Kid

1st Fall:  Tiger gets a two count on Soberano with a small package. Next there was an edit here as the action jumped forward. The Felino boys submit Sombra together with a double back breaker. They then give Soberano a stomach breaker and pin him too.

2nd Fall:  Puma gives Soberano a running drop kick in the corner. Sombra and Soberano do a double tope on the cat boys. Sombra and Soberano got back into the ring the cat boys were counted
out.

3rd Fall:  Sombra put some moves on Puma. There was another edit as suddenly Sombra and Soberano submit Felino’s boys to a couple of lame looking submission holds. Not good.

Sahori, Goddess, Princesa Blanca    vs    Princesa Sujey, Amapola, Raven Hiroka

1st Fall:  Blanca and Hiroka are in the ring trading moves. Both sides are in and out trading moves. Sujey slams Goddess into the corner, then Sujey power bombs Goddess off the top rope, and all three rudas pummel her without let up and got DQ’d.

2nd Fall:  The rudas are still beating down the tecnicas. After A few minutes the tecnicas make a come back. Blanca and Sahori vault themselves over the top onto two rudas. Sujey attempted a sunset flip but Goddess rolled the other way and grabbed the ropes for help and pinned Sujey for the win. Good Girls win in two straight.

World Ligero Championship:
Mascarita
Dorada           vs          Pierrothito

1st Fall:  Joined in progress. They are grappling around back and forth. Dorada gets a near fall with a back slide. Dorada does a side roll on Pierrothito, then a tope, Pierrothito ges a torture rack on Dorada but he rolls back with it and pins Pierrothito.

2nd Fall:  Pierrothito does a spring board splash and gets a two count. Dorada gets an Octopus hold on Pierrothito but he made the ropes. Dorada tried a head butt tope but Pierrothito pushes him off, and submitted him to a back breaker.

3rd Fall:  This time Dorada does connect with a head butt tope and gets a two count. Dorada pulled off a double spring board plancha on Pierrothitoto the outside, nice move, then Dorada did a spring board senton for a two count. Pirrothito got on a Gory Special but Dorada got out. Dorado then did a
Frankenstiener, Dorada did a moonsault but Pierrothito got his knees up, then Pierrothito submitted Dorada to some kind of neck breaker hold. Pierrothito is your new Ligero Champion. Good match.

Olimpico, Rey Bucanero, Black Warrior    vs    Valiente, Gray Shadow, El Sagrado

1st Fall:  Begins in progress, with Valiente and Olimpico wrestling around. Rey and Shadow go at it briefly then Sagrado and Warrior go next. Warrior does a mortal on Sagrado, Shadow tried a huricanrana but Rey power bombed him and pinned him. Olimpico submitted Valiente.

2nd Fall: Also joined in progress after the fall is over, I’m not kidding, it’s over when they come back from commercial. They showed repeats of what happened. Shadow toped Rey, Sagrado toped Warrior, the tecs won but they never showed how.

3rd Fall:  Not joined in progress for a change. Rey and Valiente exchanging fast moves. Sagrado is about to
super plex Warrior but Rey pulls him off, Shadow and Valiente get power bombed off the top and pinned by Rey and Olimpico. Warrior drop kicks and pins Sagrado. Rudos won, way too edited.

Marco Corleone, Blue Panther, Volador Jr.    vs    Mephisto, Averno, Damian El Terrible.

1st Fall:  Averno and Panther start it off, Panther minus the mask he looks way older. Both sides trade moves back and forth a while. The rudo beat down begins soon after, but it didn’t last long, Marco went into his no selling routine, then did a hella tope on Terrible, hard and fast. Volador pins Mephisto with a sunset flip and Panther submits Averno to an arm bar.

2nd Fall:  Averno and Panther begin this fall also. Panther does a head butt tope on Averno and applies the arm bar but his partners kick Panther off. Panther then did a side roll all the way around the ring on Averno, but Terrible kicked him off. The rudos
go into another beat down, Terrible does a splash on Marco and pins him. Averno does a Devil’s Wings bomb on Volador and pins him too.

3rd Fall:  The rudos are still into the beat down thing as this fall begins, but it soon settles down some what. Volador did a head scissors on Averno from the top. Panther gets on the top rope Volador then got on his back, Volador then did a moonsault backward on Averno, and Panther did a plancha forward on Mephisto. Nice move. Terrible does a splash on Marco but Marco rolls through it and pins him. Tecnicos win. Panther climbed all the way into the upper bleachers to get a big Blue Panther banner some guys had. Pretty good match.

That wrapped up the show. Some good some not so good.

AAA on Galavision for 9/20/08

AAA on Galavision for 9/20/08

They updated what happened last week.

Konnan tried to recruit La Fuerza Aerea but Octagon argues they are the future of AAA and they can’t afford to think like that.

The Mini’s Torneo:
Mini Charly Manson     vs    Mascarita Sagrada

1 Fall:  The ring was pretty dark for this match, did they forget to turn on the lights? Very unusual match for these two, it was slow and careful, Sagrada did a moonsault out to Charly, that was pretty much the only highspot. Mini Charly won it. Disappointing match, I guess Sagrada was hurt and he was being careful.

Los Piratas        vs        Gato Eveready, El Angel, Billy
Boy

1 Fall:  I can’t tell the Pirata Boys apart. Angel and Gato did a double Code Red on two of the Piratas at the same time. For some reason two of the Piratas traded masks, no idea why. Is there a bigger wrestling family than Los Pirata’s, I don’t think so. I count up to 8, could be more. Back to the match, there were lots of topes, planchas, and moonsaults. Billy Boy pinned one of the Pirata’s after a vertibraker. Pretty good match.

Cinthia Moreno, Polvo De Estrellas        vs       Faby Apache, Pimpenella Escarlotta

1 Fall:  Not much to this match, pretty much by the numbers. Followed the formula. Cinthia was cut open on the side of her head. Faby did a side roll. A few near falls between Faby and Cinthia. Faby did a silla out to her. Pimpi finally pins Polvo to win. Not good.

Crazy Boy, Ricky
Marvin          vs       Jack Evans, Teddy Hart

1 Fall:  Slow start as they grapple around back and forth a while. Crazy gave Jack a corkscrew neck breaker from the apron to the floor. Teddy gave Ricky an underhook DDT. Teddy gave Ricky a shooting star press but Ricky kicked out at 2. Teddy gave Ricky a back stabber, and both Teddy and Jack gave Ricky standing moonsaults but Ricky kicked out again. Ricky did a combo enzuigiri/DDT to Jack and Teddy respectively. Crazy did a double DDT to Jack and Teddy. Jack did a torneo moonsault Crazy but he kicked out. Ricky gave Jack an F-5 like move but Jack kicked out. A long crowd shot here. Crazy tried a moonsault but Teddy got his knees up. Crazy did a spanish fly to Jack from the apron to the floor, and Ricky did one to Teddy from the top inside the ring. Nicky interrupted the count distracting the ref Tirantes Jr., Ricky
tried to enzuigiri Nicky but she moved and he nailed the ref., so she low blowed Ricky and Teddy gave Ricky a Canadian Destroyer and pinned him for the win. Good match.

Aerostar, Alan Stone, El Elejido        vs     Decnis, El Brazo, Pirata Morgan

1 Fall:  Aerostar topes Decnis and Aerostar winds up two rows deep into ringside, and Aerostar winds up hurt and sitting out most of the match. Pirata beans Elejido on the head with a chair shot. Decnis did a standing moonsault to Alan. Decnis did a frog splash to Elejido. The rudo beat down goes on a long time. Aerostar manages to crawl back into the ring and small packages Brazo for the 3 count and the win. But the tecs take a beating. Not much to it, mostly a long rudo beat down.

Kenzo Suzuki, El Zorro, Electroshock     vs     Super Fly, La Parka Jr, Cibernetico

1 Fall:  Rudo
beat down number 7,652 or something like that. Zorro is using his stick. Super Fly is hit on the head with a chair by Electro like 6 or 7 times in a row, Fly also got his mask ripped up and he bled. Electro also tossed Fly about two rows deep into ringside and got another 6 or 7 chair shots to the head by Electro. Fly got power bombed by Electro but the come back happened soon after by Parka and Ciber. Electro tries another power bomb attempt but this time Fly turns it into a huricanrana and pins Electro for the win. About average for this group. Fly took a hella beating in this match.

And that ended this show.

Texano gives Shadow a back stabber who was held up his partners and all three pin him.

3rd Fall:  The rudos are still beating down the tecs as this fall begins. After a few minutes the tecs make a come back of course. Koslov does a spring board forearm blow to Texano. Koslov then vaults himself over but Texano and Damian catch him and run him into the ring post. Texano gives
Shadow a lung blower and pins him. Aguila gives Mascara a backward kick and pins him. Los Perro’s Win.

Perro’s say they will prove they are better than anyone and will close out the year as winners.

That was that for this show. About average for this program.

AAA For Sept. 13, 2008

AAA Show for Sept. 13, 2008.

No introductions they just started it. Gato Eveready did a torneo tope on somebody. Angel did a head butt tope inside the ring then a plancha outside.

three anyway. Joaquin Roldan presented Aerostar with the trophy. Very good match.

Jack Evans promo, says in English, he was robbed, by a corrupt ref. a racist AAA, and there is no way Aerostar can beat him fairly and he will sue if he doesn’t get his rematch.

Gato does a promo urging everybody to write and let Porky know he has friends and help get him out of prison. He’s in prison? I haven’t been watching lately.

Billy Boy, Gato Eveready, Angelis    vs    Mr. Condor, Gellego, Angel Mortal.

1 Fall: Los Diabolicos were wearing masks I couldn’t tell them apart with identical gear. The  Diabolicos bump around for the tecnicos. Billy Boy puts moves on all three ‘bolicos. They however gang up to beat up Angelis giving him a gang power bomb, and a gang flapjack. They’re into a rudo beat down now. The tecnicos do a quick come back after a few minutes. Gato did a torneo moonsault outside to one
of the ‘bolicos. Angelis did a plancha from on high to one of the ‘bolicos. Billy power bombed and pinned one of the ‘bolicos. Tecnicos win. Not even the commentators were calling the Diabolicos by name. About average.

Noti AAA:  Updating the Apaches vs the Moreno’s feud;
Cibernetico trying to make peace with Chessman & Charly Manson.
Showing Aerostar getting attacked backstage by Konnan, Jack Evans, & Teddy Hart. Their way of asking for a rematch.

1 Fall:  Mini Kenzo low blows Octagoncito when big Kenzo distracts the ref. Big Kenzo comes in and pulls Octa off when he has little Kenzo pinnned. Little Kenzo tried a ‘rana from the top rope but Octa power bombed him off instead. Octa does a spring board moonsault, then a bridge
pin to pin little Kenzo to win this round. Very short. Pun unintended.

Konnan is addressing Nicho & Joe Lider, Konnan proposes a deal for them to do some work for the Legion, Nicho says all he has to do is pay them, and they’re do anything.

Crazy Boy and Ultimo Gladiator are hyping themselves up about how good they are, Ricky Marvin promises to help them.

Crazy Boy & Ultimo Gladiator     vs      Joe Lider & Nicho

1 Fall:  Crazy gives Joe a flapjack from the top rope. Gladiator about to give Joe a piledriver, but Joe turns it into a head scissors DDT. They must have skipped a part because they show highlights of Joe gives Gladiator a back stabber. Joe throws a chair at Gladiator. Joe gives Gladiator another back stabber. Crazy throws a chair at Nicho. Gladiator gives Nicho a chest cracker. Gladiator had Nicho pinned but ref. Tirantes wouldn’t count. Gladiator

Chessman kicks out at two also. Teddy power bombs Chessman across his own knees, Ricky breaks up the pin. The come back, Ricky does a ‘rana from the top onto Jack, Chessman DDT’s Teddy. With Jack on the apron, Ricky moves just in time for Chessman to come rushing from the ring and spear Jack threw the ropes and threw the board set up at ringside. Teddy has Ricky in a bear hug and suplex’s him over into a DDT. Ricky kicks out at two. Ricky does a Spanish Fly on Teddy from the top but just as Ref. Tirantes Jr. is about to count 3, the Hermaneda music plays and Nicho and Joe Lider come out and gang stomp Ricky. Jack and Teddy are Disqualified. Ricky and Chessman win. Jack and Teddy are pissed. There was drama after, as Joe kissed Nicky, and Teddy was pissed at both
of them. This was a damn good match. I liked it.

Backstage Chessman blames Ricky, and wonders where was Ciber & Charly. Chessman gets attacked by Mesias and La Secta.

Alan Stone and Elejido promise to try to get along.

Silver King does a promo.

Alan Stone, Silver King, El Elejido    vs    Ozz, Cuervo, Scoria

1st Fall:  Silver King came out to "Bad Medicine", and was wearing a mask. La Secta attacks right away. The tecncios make a quick come back on them however. They gang power bomb Cuervo.

King gives Scoria a flapjack. Alan does a flip tope on Scoria. King does a plancha outside to Cuervo. Elejido and Ozz trade near falls. Ozz tries a moonsault but Elejido moves. Elejido goes up but just
then Mesias music plays he comes out, and Ozz power bombs Elejido from the top and pins him for the win. Mesias and his Secta put a beat down on the tecnicos. About Average for these guys.

La Parka and Gronda are telling each other they have finish with La Legion. Ciber comes up and they will because they are the best.

Electroshock, Kenzo Suzuki, El Zorro      vs     Cibernetico, La Parka Jr., Gronda II

1 Fall:  The Legion attack right after the intros. Zorro is using his kendo stick. The beat down goes on a good long while. Finally Ciber & Co. begin the come back. Parka throws Electro into the ringside seats. Gronda puts his power moves on all 3. Ciber spears Electro. The match slows down with nothing much going on for the longest time. Just then Konnan, Jack and Teddy come rushing out to attack the tecnicos. Legion is Disqualified, Tecnicos win. Alan Stone, Elejido, Silver
King come out for the save. Roldan comes out to say he has a surprise for La Legion, Konnan says the Legion is the only effective group in the company. Terrible match.

I haven’t done one of these in a while, I still think 3 hours is just long.

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for Aug. 24, ’08.

CMLL on FSE
For Aug. 24, 2008

Just going over what aired.

La Sombra, Volador Jr., Sagrado     vs
Averno, Mephisto, El Terrible

Fall 1: Volador was hurt in the first few minutes, when he went for a flying head scissors on Terrible but Terrible didn’t go over, he just shrugged him off, and Volador landed on his head. Volador was carried out and never came back. Rudos won this fall.

Fall 2: Also won by the rudos, even though Sombra and Sagrado tried valiantly to to compete two on three, Rudos won this in two straight. Nothing that memorable about this match, Average.

In the middle of fall two, they broke for a commercial and did an extended bit featuring photographer Rosalio Vera. Way too long.

They also featured three
commercials for the upcoming Aug. 29 show at Arena Mexico. That’s unusual, they’ve never done that before, showing commercials for upcoming shows on FSE US.

Hair vs Hair:
Pequeno Damian 666            vs             Bam Bam

1st Fall:  The action started fast with plenty of topes and planchas back and forth. Damian won this fall with a small package.

2nd Fall:   Faily short fall, with Bam Bam winning with a Fisherman Buster.

3rd Fall:  Good fall, with lots of action, Damian did a full nelson flapjack to Bam Bam. Then a Gory Special. Plenty of near falls back and forth. And more topes and high planchas by both. Bam Bam was on the apron, and Damian came running up and flipped over him and then did a running power bomb to Bam Bam in the aisle. It looked nasty. Damian then did a devil’s wings
DDT on Bam Bam that looked suspiciously like a piledriver. In any event Damian won and Bam Bam got the big haircut.

The mini’s match was very good, and deserved to be the main event.

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for 7/13/08

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for July 13, 2008.

Damian and Aguila open the show welcoming you to the best lucha libre in the world.

Princesa Blanca, Luna Magica, Marcela     vs     Amapola, Medusa, Rosa Negra

1st Fall:  Seems to be picked up in progress with Marcela and Rosa Negra exchanging moves already. Only a minute into the match they leave and go to a commercial. The trivia question was what happened here on Dec. 21, 1986 at Arena Coliseo, the answer was the return of the women wrestlers after a long absence. The resume the match with Rosa and Marcela still going at it. Then Blanca and Amapola trade moves. Then Luna and Medusa are next in. Luna gives her a face plant. Marcela vaults herself over the top onto Amapola
below. Luna and Blanca have submissions holds on Rosa and Medusa when Amapola comes in and breaks them all up. They do a gang stomping to Marcela but they don’t let up when the refs tell them to so the rudas are disqualified.

2nd Fall:  The tecnicas make a come back on the rudas as this fall begins. Marcela gets a quick two count on Amapola with a bridge. Another quick two count with a roll up on Amapola. Marcela does a missile drop kick on Amapola however Rosa and Medusa attack her, so Blanca and Luna do missile drop kicks to them. Blanca pins Medusa with a Casita/Majistral. Luna submits Rosa with a leg lock, and Marcela pins Amapola with a Devil’s Wings/Back Breaker combination. Tecnicas win in two straight.

For the Arena  Coliseo Tag Team Championship:
Flash & Stuka Jr.                 
vs             Euforia & Nosferatu

1st Fall:  Flash and Stuka say they are gonna win in two straight falls, and they are ready. Los Infernales say we’re gonna see what kind of luck you have, as we will destroy you. Nosferatu and Flash begin grappling around. The commentator said the last champions were Alan and Chris Stone when they won them on De. 7, 2000, which they later vacated. Flash gets a quick two count on him with a back slide. These two go at it a good long while before Euforia and Stuka finally get in. Stuka was gonna walk the top rope but he fell off. He got a two count never the less. Flash does a  body press from the top on both Infernales, both kick out of pins. Los Infernales win this with a combination hold, Nosferatu holding them in head locks and Euforia on top of him, holding Stuka and Flash’s arms.

Cesar said the Coliseo Titles came up for the
first time in 1950 when Tarzan Lopez & Enrique Llanes beat Verdu & Black Shadow for the titles.

2nd Fall:  This starts off with Euforia and Stuka going at it. Nosferatu comes in and spears Stuka. Flash tried a spring board move but missed, they moved out of the way. Nosferatu was going for a flap jack but Sutka rolled him up for a two count, Euforia saved him. Flash gets catapulted outside onto Euforia by Stuka. Stuka went up for a splash but he missed when Nosferatu moved, Nosferatu pinned him. Flash however back slides Nosferatu and pins him. Flash power bombed Euforia and Flash hit a shooting star press and pinned Euforia for the win.

3rd Fall:  Los Infernales start this fall by doing topes to the tecnicos. Nosferatu goes up and misses a senton when Flash moves. Flash gets a two count. Stuka gets a quick two count on Euforia. Stuka missed a moonsault when Euforia moved, but landed on his feet, a few more near falls
back and forth. Euforia got a Gory Special but Stuka got out, and they rolled back and forth for two counts. Euforia missed a spear on him and hit the post, Stuka does a moonsault on him from the top post to the outside. More near falls but between Nosferatu and Flash. Flash tried a flip plancha from the apron but Nosferatu got out of the way let him hit the floor. Stuka went up but Euforia knocked him off. Euforia did a tope to his own partner when Stuka moved. Flash seemed to have been hurt, was being tended to by a Doctor, on that dive to the floor when Nosferatu moved. Stuka did a splash from the top onto Euforia and pinned him for the win. Stuka and Flash are the new Coliseo Champions.

Damian and Aguila open the show welcoming you to the best lucha libre in the world.

Princesa Blanca, Luna Magica, Marcela     vs     Amapola, Medusa, Rosa Negra

1st Fall:  Seems to be picked up in progress with Marcela and Rosa Negra exchanging moves already. Only a minute into the match they leave and go to a commercial. The trivia question was what happened here on Dec. 21, 1986 at Arena Coliseo, the answer was the return of the women wrestlers after a long absence. The resume the match with Rosa and Marcela still going at it. Then Blanca and Amapola trade moves. Then Luna and Medusa are next in. Luna gives her a face plant. Marcela vaults herself over the top onto Amapola
below. Luna and Blanca have submissions holds on Rosa and Medusa when Amapola comes in and breaks them all up. They do a gang stomping to Marcela but they don’t let up when the refs tell them to so the rudas are disqualified.

2nd Fall:  The tecnicas make a come back on the rudas as this fall begins. Marcela gets a quick two count on Amapola with a bridge. Another quick two count with a roll up on Amapola. Marcela does a missile drop kick on Amapola however Rosa and Medusa attack her, so Blanca and Luna do missile drop kicks to them. Blanca pins Medusa with a Casita/Majistral. Luna submits Rosa with a leg lock, and Marcela pins Amapola with a Devil’s Wings/Back Breaker combination. Tecnicas win in two straight.

For the Arena  Coliseo Tag Team Championship:
Flash & Stuka Jr.                 
vs             Euforia & Nosferatu

1st Fall:  Flash and Stuka say they are gonna win in two straight falls, and they are ready. Los Infernales say we’re gonna see what kind of luck you have, as we will destroy you. Nosferatu and Flash begin grappling around. The commentator said the last champions were Alan and Chris Stone when they won them on De. 7, 2000, which they later vacated. Flash gets a quick two count on him with a back slide. These two go at it a good long while before Euforia and Stuka finally get in. Stuka was gonna walk the top rope but he fell off. He got a two count never the less. Flash does a  body press from the top on both Infernales, both kick out of pins. Los Infernales win this with a combination hold, Nosferatu holding them in head locks and Euforia on top of him, holding Stuka and Flash’s arms.

Cesar said the Coliseo Titles came up for the
first time in 1950 when Tarzan Lopez & Enrique Llanes beat Verdu & Black Shadow for the titles.

2nd Fall:  This starts off with Euforia and Stuka going at it. Nosferatu comes in and spears Stuka. Flash tried a spring board move but missed, they moved out of the way. Nosferatu was going for a flap jack but Sutka rolled him up for a two count, Euforia saved him. Flash gets catapulted outside onto Euforia by Stuka. Stuka went up for a splash but he missed when Nosferatu moved, Nosferatu pinned him. Flash however back slides Nosferatu and pins him. Flash power bombed Euforia and Flash hit a shooting star press and pinned Euforia for the win.

3rd Fall:  Los Infernales start this fall by doing topes to the tecnicos. Nosferatu goes up and misses a senton when Flash moves. Flash gets a two count. Stuka gets a quick two count on Euforia. Stuka missed a moonsault when Euforia moved, but landed on his feet, a few more near falls
back and forth. Euforia got a Gory Special but Stuka got out, and they rolled back and forth for two counts. Euforia missed a spear on him and hit the post, Stuka does a moonsault on him from the top post to the outside. More near falls but between Nosferatu and Flash. Flash tried a flip plancha from the apron but Nosferatu got out of the way let him hit the floor. Stuka went up but Euforia knocked him off. Euforia did a tope to his own partner when Stuka moved. Flash seemed to have been hurt, was being tended to by a Doctor, on that dive to the floor when Nosferatu moved. Stuka did a splash from the top onto Euforia and pinned him for the win. Stuka and Flash are the new Coliseo Champions.

That last match was very good. Lots of action.
