Arena Coliseo de Monterrey 7/31/05:

Estrella Dorada Jr./Monje Negro Jr./Veneno Negro vs Picudo/Mascara Purpura/Sexy Piscis: Veneno Negro got unmasked in the second fall and was revealed to be HATOR! It sure got zero pop considering he is the star wrestler in this building. Sadly Mascara Purpura didn’t get to do much.:( Hopefully he has a better showing on tomorrows Galavision Mexico episode(*fingers crossed his match makes the cut*). Purpura got hurt in the third fall and Piscis was taken out leaving Picudo all alone for a beating until Espiritu and Silver Cat showed up and did dual tope suicidas to Estrella/Monje and Picudo pinned Hator to win. Below average opener.

Mascarita Sagrada 2000 vs Jerrito Estrada – National Mini’s Title: I was not a fan of this match. As I said above in the Verano De Escandalo comments, at this point Jerrito still needed to adapt from working with the old smaller mini’s to the new mini’s who can actually do more mat stuff and work the match a different way. An example of this would be when Mascarita 2000/Jerrito both went for single leg takedowns. 1995 Mascarita or Octagoncito would not do that as it’d be the rudo’s job to take them down and bully them but Mascarita isn’t THAT MUCH smaller than Jerrito so it looked okay if they are equal on the mat. First two falls were pretty much nothing except for one big burst of offense by Mascarita. Third fall was all about the referee getting involved. Disapointing.

Antifaz/Oriental/Histeria vs Hator/Psicosis/Zumbido: More Hator! The angle here was Antifaz was injured so the rudos took him out during the first fall leaving the tecnicos in a handicap match which was a total squash until… GALACTAR ran out and took Hator out with an asai moonsault. With things tied up 1-1 it turned into a pretty good one fall trios match with some neat spots all around. Galactar did a bullet tope suicida on Hator. Histeria did the same on Psicosis soon after. Zumbido got two knees trying a moonsault and Oriental rolled him up for the win. Absolutely nothing wrong with this, a fine showing.

Sangre Chicana vs Sergio Romo Jr. – Hair vs Hair: God bless my FF button. Referee kept being a dick and refusing to count Chicana’s pins. Romo won the third fall but the commisioner refused to let them shave Chicana’s head and said the ref would get his head shaved instead b/c he was to blame for the loss. GENIUS! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

La Parka Jr. vs Cibernetico – GPCW Title Bout: Oh boy. Arturo Rivera seconded Cibernetico and some old lady in the front row who attends the show weekly seconded Parka Jr. but just sat in her seat for the entire match b/c THAT MAKES SENSE! I guess she was supposed to stop Rivera from interfereing but she never got up to do anything until Parka brought Rivera over to her and even then he just walked away after being smacked once. Maybe the finish was screwed up b/c of that b/c Zumbido came out looking confused and just jumped into the ring to attack Parka for the DQ. Pretty embarassing.
