Big Wrestling Weekend Report - Part 1

MAW Show Results & Notes

Friday June 9 Lucha Libre returned to the Sociedad Cruz Blanca, this time under the new banner of Mexican American Wrestling. If a successful show is one in which the crowd has a great time, these shows have been a resounding success. The overall feeling is that of a block party where everyone is invited. The young fans have a great time mimicking the wrestlers in the ring and the adults have a great time taunting the rudos & cheering the technicos.

The first match saw Muneco Nexus face Santana with special referee Virus. Despite Virus' history of rulebreaking, he called the match evenly and fairly. In the end, however, Santana was able to sneak out a victory. The second match, between El Diablo and Aquaman ended quickly following a dive through the ropes by Aquaman onto El Diablo. Neither man was able to make it back into the ring in time to beat the count and Aquaman needed to be helped to the back. The third match was an exciting match-up of technicos Brindis and Ave Fenix. Both wrestlers were able to display exciting moves thrilling the crowd until Ave Fenix was able to grab the submission victory.

The semi-final match was a mixed tag match of sorts pitting the team of Imperious & Yoko Ono against Mr. Muerte and the exotic La Viagra. This was a 2 falls out of 3 match which featured a great deal of comic moments, mostly centered around the effeminate La Viagra. After splitting the first two falls, all the wrestlers got serious and showed what they were capable of. The final fall went to the team of Imerious and Yoko. During the match it was announced that the next show, on June 23rd, would feature a 10 man battle royal for the MAW championship Title.

The main event was clearly the highlight of the evening. The veteran team of Huracan Ramirez Jr. and Estrella Universal squared off against the rudos Santana Express & Lemus II. All four luchadores showed great skill in the ring splitting the first two falls. In the third fall of the match both teams had difficulty with their teamwork with Lemus II & Santana Express showing some frustration at a moment of miscommunication. But it was the Technicos who had the greatest difficulty eventually costing them the final fall and the match. After the match the surprise of the night occurred as Estrella Universal turned on his long time partner Huracan Ramirez Jr. As Santana Express joined in the beating on Ramirez, Lemus II seemed shocked at the actions of Estrella Universal. Eventually, Lemus II could stand no more of this outrage and physically and verbally put Estrella Universal in his place. In Lucha Libre the lines of good vs. evil, fan favorite vs. rule breaker, technico vs. rudo are clearly defined and Estrella Universal had violated this code. As a result, Lemus II was suddenly greeted by the cheers of the fans setting up a match for the next show of Huracan and new technico Lemus II against Santana Express and new rudo Estrella Universal. The June 23rd show is shaping up to be a monumental one.
