Mexican American Wrestling

MAW presented a Lucha Libre show Friday August 4th at Sociedad Cruz Blanca on West Poplar. Fans were treated to six matches with a mix of traditional Lucha style matches and American style wrestling. As usual the crowd was festive and responsive to the action in the ring. The referee duties were split between Mano Negra and Juan Diego

The opening match was a rematch from the previous show as Blakk Sabbath faced Berry. Once again, the smaller Berry tried tenaciously to gain an advantage on the massive Blakk Sabbath. Once again it was to no avail. Berry managed to avoid some of the more violent moves, but was never able to get any offensive momentum. When Blakk Sabbath applied his variation of a cradle piledriver, the match was over, but the beatdown continued. Blakk Sabbath seemed determined to discourage Berry from ever crossing his path again. Blakk Sabbath continued the beatdown until Chief Battu came out to the aid of Berry. Afterwards Berry got on the mike and issued a challenge. Given one more chance in 2 weeks, Berry guaranteed to find a way to change the results.

The second match featured the Lonestar Kid Ricky Rhodes facing local favorite Dragon X. Rhodes seemed very confident that he could easily handle the smaller Dragon X. Rhodes wasn't prepared however for the lightning array of moves possessed by the masked man from the orient. If Rhodes had taken the challenge seriously he might have been successful, but a couple of lazy covers gave Dragon X the opportunity to reverse a pin for the victory.

In the third match, legendary Luchadore El Zombi made his return to MAW. Ave Fenix faced this monumental challenge gallantly, absorbing the crushing blows of the larger Zombi. The fans appreciated the efforts of both competitors and when Ave Fenix was able to apply a wicked submission on the veteran Zombi the fans applauded both wrestlers and their efforts.

The next match featured two veteran luchadores, Horoscopo and Semental. These twp men obviously knew each other well and started with the chain wrestling typical of lucha libre. As the match progressed however, pride became an issue and the moves became more violent and the blows more viscous. Neither men wanted to lose to the other. In the end, it was Semental who earned the victory.

The next match was for the tag team championship held by JJ Wakefield and Bobby Garrett. The challengers were Renegade and Manny Villalobos. This match was contested under 2 falls out of 3 rules and the fans were clearly on the side of the challengers. Wakefield and Garrett allowed the fans' taunts to get to them and lost the first fall as the challengers scored a double pin on the champs. The champs came back quickly and, taking advantage of a distracted referee, struck low blows on Renegade and Villalobos and scored the pin in the second fall. In the third fall, the challengers seemed to have the champions' number and the crowd sensed that the titles could change tonight. The champions seemed to sense this as well so Wakefield pulled out a pair of brass knuckles and clobbered Renegade. The referee spotted this and instantly called for the DQ. The challengers took the match, but the champions kept the belts. After the match, Manny Villalobos challenged the champs to a no DQ match at the next show. The champions did not respond.

The main event featured 4 of the best wrestlers in the area in a best of three falls tag match. The rudo team of Virus and Mr. Muerte faced the technicos Lemus 2 and Chief Battu. This was a back and forth match with all 4 men seeing action. Although the fans were all over Virus, many seemed to enjoy the antics of his partner Mr. Muerte. The technicos are just two very tough men in Battu and the MAW Heavyweight Champion Lemus 2. The first fall was scored when Lemus submitted Virus. In the second fall, Virus was able to ignore the taunts of the crowd and gain a measure of revenge, submitting Lemus. The third fall spilled out into the crowd as all four men seemed determined to punish their opponents. The referee Juan Diego clearly favored the Rudos in this fall. overlooking the rulebreaking tactics which resulted in Chief Battu bleeding freely. With Battu disabled, Lemus was unable to overcome the efforts of the Rudos and was pinned by Virus. It was Mr. Muerte who seemed to get most under Lemus's skin however and after the match, Lemus challenged the masked Muerte to a championship match at the next show in two weeks.
