Pierroth/Universo 2000/Ultimo Guerrero vs Perrito/Damian/Halloween: Aw man I loved this. I keep looking at the listings for each episode and thinking to myself “what? another match with the same guys??? This is gonna get old and fast” and yet… it doesn’t. Awesome psychology early on with Pierroth/Ultimo going up the ramp to hide and attack the Perros as they come out b/c that’s what happened to them the week before but the Perros were one step ahead and came out through the crowd to beat up Universo who was alone in the ring and the brawl was on! Perros took the first fall easily and the comeback was on in the second fall! Awesome brawling exchanges(what, you expected a technical masterpiece?) leading to the big spot of the match as Ultimo goes up top and obviously can’t get his balance on the ringpost but decides to jump anyways and his body twists at this DISGUSTING angle as he comes crashing down onto Halloween and La Nazi. I am *SHOCKED* he wasn’t seriously injured with the way he landed right on his head upside down but then again… ULTIMO GUERRERO IS A MACHINE! Halloween was actually the most shaken up as he took a knee to the face. In the ring Universo grabbed Perro Jr. for a tombstone!!! The referees quickly stopped him but right when they pulled Perrito down, Universo grabbed Damian and gave him the Martillo Negro!!! Instant DQ and awesome angle alert. Perrito and Halloween checked on Damian right away as security and doctors came into the ring. When Damian was stretchered off, Universo grabbed the mic and taunted Perrito only to have Halloween steal the mic and begin to challenge Universo himself. In the middle of the challenge… HE SLAPS HIM! UNIVERSO TACKLES HALLOWEEN! THE BRAWL IS ON!!! I’ll leave it at that but this was a really awesome angle and must be seen.

Momentos wasn’t too hot. All Arena Mexico. Apocalipsis did a flying bodypress to pin someone I forget. Blue Panther did a tope suicida onto someone as Satanico did a senton off the apron at the same time onto Nitro. The best spot was the third as Mr. Aguila comes up with the finish of the week once again. La Mascara whips him into the ropes, Aguila does a handspring backflip over a sliding Mascara but then gets locked in the Campana! Looked beautiful. Rest was repeated footage.

Mistico/La Mascara/Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Rey Bucanero/El Averno/El Mephisto: AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! Did I mention this was awesome??? These guys came out looking all fired up and they TORE IT UP! I won’t spoil any spots or finishes but I will say Mistico totally made up for the disapointing performance last week and the week before by hitting a couple of incredible spots and La Mascara was not about to be upstaged too much and he looked great as well doing a couple of spots that rivaled what Mistico was doing! Wagner even joined in on the action by doing a wicked spot I had never seen him do before in the third fall. Another rarity was he took some offense instead of just dishing it out courtesy of Bucanero in the second fall. Once again I repeat… THIS WAS AWESOME!!! A really late trios MOTYC for me. The finishing sequence was absolutely sick. Damnit… I gotta rewatch this.

El Hijo Del Santo vs Atlantis: It was gonna be hard to top the previous match but these guys definitely tried. Really fun match that was pretty slow starting off but picked up about halfway through. Atlantis taking off his mask to reveal a second mask except in black was awesome. Ultimo and Atlantis throwing Monito around and onto Santo was also awesome. Atlantis’ bump off Santo’s kneelift early on was way too awesome. Even though I knew there was a screwjob coming, I really enjoyed this. And I even liked the screwjob b/c it was sorta innovative and not one of thoes deals where you can clearly see the referee is in full sight of the rudo cheating but just ignores it. Everyone hit their cue perfect and the finish was 100% believable. I wonder if Santo and Ultimo can top this?

Needless to say, if you pick one episode to get from Fredo’s newest TV batch – make it this one!
