Weekend Report

MAW Lucha Libre Show Friday

Mexican American Wrestling returned to Sociedad Cruz Blanca Friday Night with a card of Lucha matches which entertained the crowd of children and Adults alike. Due to a scheduling irregularity there were actually two Lucha Libre shows on the same night as Texas Wrestling Association was running over at the Texas Wolverine All-Star Gym. Several Luchadores managed to work both shows. The Scene was only present at the MAW show. If a report from TWA is made available, The Scene will print it here.

In the first match, El Diablo face El Vikingo who was returning to action following a prolonged period away from the ring. El Diablo was the rudo in this match and was aided in his cause by referee Juan Diego. Despite the odds, the veteran Vikingo was able to stay one move ahead of Diablo and managed to score the pin with a roll up.

The second match involved Horoscopo and Gato Diabolico. In this match, the rudo Gato Diabolico managed better than the previous match, scoring a submission victory.

The next match was a special event "Students Match" triple threat elimination match featuring 3 young men who were appearing in their first match outside the training ring. Vikingo Jr., Pyro and David el Destructor all made their way to the ring, but before the bell, Lemus II made an appearance. Lemus offered a few words of wisdom from a veteran of the lucha wars. If the 3 students are wise and listened to his message, they could learn a great deal. The match itself was actually pretty good considering the youth and inexperience of the three combatants. Each was able to show some maneuvers in the ring and each showed some personality as well. David el Destructor was first eliminated by Vikingo Jr. Shortly thereafter Pyro pinned Vikingo Jr. If these three stick with it, and pay their dues, they may someday earn the right to be called Luchadores. Congratulations David, Pyro & Vikingo Jr.

In the fourth match, Lemus II returned, accompanied by his partner in the match Dragon X. Their opponents for this match were Atrevido and Berry. This was an incredibly entertaining match which was hotly contested. It was unfortunate that the match ended in a disqualification as Lemus II unmasked Atrevido. Tempers were extremely high and it is clear this rivalry is far from over.

In the fifth match, Lucha Legend El Zombi defended his Mexican Cruiserweight belt against Ave Fenix in a 2 falls out of 3 match. Although Zombi is not what most would consider a cruiserweight he showed that he still has a few moves left over from a career spanning 3 decades. Ave Fenix is one of the top luchadores working this area and started the match strongly, scoring a submission victory in the first fall. Zombi however seemed to grow stronger as the match continued picking up submissions in the next 2 falls, retaining the belt.

In the main event Mr Muerte and Chief Battu faced Virus and Crazy USA. MAW Heavyweight Champion Virus looked strong in this match and Crazy showed some incredible maneuvers as the Rudos took it to the Technicos. Mr. Muerte and Battu were not going to go down easily and actually took the first fall as Muerte submitted Crazy. In the second fall, the Rudos gained some measure of revenge as Virus submitted Battu. In the third fall, things got a little out of hand as the battles spilled out into the crowd and tempers flared. Taking advantage of a distracted referee, the rudos faked a foul and got Battu disqualified, earning themselves the victory. After the match, Mr. Muerte expressed his disapproval with Battu physically pushing and kicking at him. To settle this dispute a Hair vs. Mask match has been set up for the next show.
