Marcela & Princesa Sujei vs Princesa Blanca & La
Seductora
This is a hair and mask vs hair and mask match, with the
hair of Blanca and Marcela on the line, along with the masks of Seductora and
Sujei. You can tell the stakes are high early doors as the rudos (Blanca and
Seductora) attack in the aisle. I really like Blanca’s aggression here as the
rudos dominate, including lifting Sujei clean off the mat by the hair.
Seductora nails Marcela with a huge dropkick as she’s tied in the ropes, which
deserves a replay. Marcela tries to fire back but takes a huge bump,
cannonballing off the apron onto no-one. Seductora nails Sujei with a top rope
Thesz press for three, and Blanca swiftly polishes off Marcela to take the primera
caida.
The rudos maintain control at the start of the secunda
caida, with Blanca tearing at Sujei’s mask. Momentum swings as Seductora misses
Poetry in Motion, and Marcela just nails a vicious dropkick to the face of
Blanca. Marcela pins Blanca with a Michinoku driver, before Sujei finishes
Seductora with another driver, only adding a flipping senton and two elbow
drops for emphasis.
This leaves all to play for, and the final fall is really
exciting. Marcela is all over Blanca, until Seductora pushes her off the top
rope, and hooks her in a swank looking half crab for the tap-out. Sujei wastes
no time in locking up Seductora in a neat looking hammerlock submission to even
the odds, and we’re now down to Blanca vs Sujei in a battle of Princesa’s.
Really fun ending, with Blanca getting a huge nearfall from a spiral powerbomb.
They battle over roll-ups, before Seductora tries to assist Blanca. Marcela
prevents this, and this allows Sujei to roll up Blanca for the win. Really good
stuff.
Rush vs Negro Casas
Another hair vs hair match, and this one is even better.
Rush seems to be coming out to Chris Benoit’s old ring music. Rush is really
aggressive from the bell, steamrolling Casas. Though Casas gets a few comeback
blows, Rush nails him with a massive dropkick to the face for an easy fall. The
segunda caida sees Casas come back with a vengeance, and I loved his offence of
just vicious looking kicks, which Rush is happy to meet with his own. There is
an odd bit where another luchador comes to the ring with Casas holding an STF
on Rush. This interference causes Casas to release the hold, but then following
a Rush powerbomb, the referee is still distracted and doesn’t count, so the
interference seems to have helped neither man. Casas quickly locks in a La
Majistral cradle for the fall to level things up.
If the first two falls were good, things get really good in
the final fall. The crowd is solidly behind Casas, and he reacts accordingly,
totally pumped up for battle. These two just batter each other, and it’s
amazing to watch. Casas nails a seated senton from the apron to the floor and
Rush, as if to be not outdone, nails Casas in turn with a huge dropkick from
the apron. The end, though a cheap one, is great, as it allows Rush to come off
as a total dick against the crowd favourite Casas: a ref bump allows Rush to
punt Casas in the balls and he covers him for the win. Just a great piece of
pro wrestling.
