Tonight stars from literally all over the world converge on Mexico City representing some of the biggest wrestling companies in the world (including AAA, TNA, ROH, Lucha Underground, All Japan Pro Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling NOAH) with young stars, veterans, legends, and future legends competing for the first ever “Lucha Libre World Cup” presented by AAA and Victoria Cerveza.
Tonight’s ring announcer comes down and introduces AAA owner Maricela Pena and botht he English and Spanish announcers are shown. The audio is not very good, I was streaming the show through my laptop onto my TV and I have a big surround sound setup and still ended up hooking up my headphones to the laptop to hear it. At the beginning they played both the Spanish and English commentaries at the same time so it was very annoying but was fixed eventually.
All of the teams were introduced to the crowd, the Dream Team got the huge ovation you would expect. Both Japan teams and both USA teams were introduced together, and all of the Mexican representatives were introduced together. Rey Misterio Jr. is wearing his throwback gear from his old days. His team are also wearing matching Mexican Flag styled gear to add a nice touch.
The Lucha Commission president, El Fantasma, is introduced and he welcomes everyone to the first ever Lucha World Cup. Matt Striker actually addressed the feed issues thus far with sound and other issues and said that it is being worked on. A video package is introduced to hype up the history of Lucha Libre and this tournament. My stream cut out me and when it returned I see the Villano brothers in the ring with Dos Caras and a man in a military outfit doing the Mexican national anthem.
They are using the four sided ring for this event. The judges for tonight: Dos Caras, El Fantasma, El Canek, Arturo Rivera, Villano IV, Villano V, Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000, & Universo 2000 are introduced to the crowd. They are really making this feel like a special event, even if they are having the technical difficulties.
As the first match is being introduced my audio went out completely, but returned just as the Dream Team was coming out.
Lucha World Cup Quarterfinals
The Dream TeAAAm (Rey Misterio Jr., Alberto el Patron, & Myzteziz) vs. Team NOAH (Taiji Ishimori, Atsushi Kotoge, & Yoshihiro Takayama)
Taiji Ishimori has worked for AAA many times in the past so this isn’t something new for him. I don’t know of Kotoge or Takayama working in Mexico much but I’m pretty sure Takayama has in the past. The ovation The Dream Team received was pretty special and about what you would expect. To be there live that must have been something special for those fans. Rey Misterio Jr. and Alberto are on a different level than anyone else in Mexico at this point, it’s pretty crazy. It is cool to see Rey wearing his old style of gear if nothing more than just nostalgia reasons. Remember, 15 minute time limit for these matches but there will be an overtime if it goes to a draw. Rey will start things off with Ishimori, this should be fun! They lockup and Ishimori forces Rey into the corner but they break clean until Ishimori shoves Rey. They lockup again and this time Ishimori gets Rey in a waistlock but Rey counters into an arm wringer and then sweeps the legs of Ishimori. They exchange sweeps and nearfalls and Ishimori immediately tags in Kotoge so Rey tags in Myzteziz. They lockup and exchange takedowns and armlocks. Myzteziz sweeps the legs of Kotoge and puts him in a Legbar. Kotoge reaches the ropes and then Myzteziz takes him down again and puts him in a Mexican Death Lock. Kotoge counters into a rollup for a nearfall but Myzteziz counters into a Mexican Surfboard! Myzteziz transitions into a pin for another nearfall. Myzteziz showing off his mat skills early on. Alberto tags in now as does Takayama, both of these men have a lot of MMA experience. They lockup and Alberto gets a side headlock on but Takayama shrugs him off and they run into each other with shoulder blocks. They exchange more shoulder blocks but neither man goes down and then begin slapping the piss out of each other! Takayama catches Alberto with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex for a quick nearfall but Alberto answers with a Step-Up Enziguri for a nearfall of his own. Alberto tosses Ishimori to the floor as he tries to interfere and then catches Kotoge with a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker. Alberot whips him into the ropes and hits another Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker followed up by an Enziguri. Rey tags in and hits Ishimori with a Sliding Dropkick to the balls! Rey catches Ishimori with a Spinning Headscissors and then goes for the 619 but Takayama catches Rey in mid-move on the floor and tosses him into the ring post!

Alberot hits the Lung Blower on Takayama but Kotoge hits a Reverse DDT on Alberto! Rey hits a Flying Senton on Kotoge and Ishimori hits a Missile Dropkick on Rey! Myzteziz and Ishimori exchange chops and slaps. Myzteziz catches Ishimori with a hurricanrana and then a sliding dropkick to the knee! Myzteziz catches Ishimori with a La Magistral Cradle but Kotoge breaks it up. Takayama tosses Myzteziz across the ring and then Kotoge/Ishimori hit an Un-Prettier/450 Splash combo! 1…2…NO Alberto breaks it up! Rey and Alberto clothesline Takayama and Kotoge to the floor. Rey dives off the apron onto Kotoge and then Alberto Superkicks the hell out of Takayama! Back in the ring Myzteziz catches Ishimori in the La Mistica for the win!

Brian Cage is a member of Lucha Underground and has began working with AAA as well, feuding with Alberto. Hijo del Fantasma also works in Lucha Underground as King Cuerno along with Texano as well. Team AAA are also wearing matching Mexican colors like the Dream Team were. Pro Wrestling NOAH’s referee is handling the duties in this match. Texano and ACH will start this thing off.

Cage wastes time taunting and eats a Running Dropkick from Fantasma and then he hits a Spinning DDT following by a Running Knee. ACH and Moose come in and take out Team AAA as Vampiro says “I had been waiting for them to go ghetto.” I have no words.

Texano hits a Superkick on Cage but Cage answers with a Spinning Clothesline! 1…2…NO the clock expires! Cage immediately Powerbombs Texano and then hits a Sitout Powerbomb! The time has run out but the referee makes the count and declares Team ROH/Underground the winner! The fans are pissed with the controversy but the call stands. The referee changes his mind and says it is a tie instead and Konnan brings back out Team ROH/Underground for the Overtime period.
It will be Cage vs. Texano in sudden death. Texano hits Cage with a Superkick and then hits a DVD/Neckbreaker. Texano goes for a Hurricanrana but Cage counters into a Powerbomb and then he Powerbombs Texano into the corner and hits a Tornado Clothesline for the pin!
Winners: Team ROH/Underground via pinfall (Tornado Clothesline)
I think the whole thing there was that the referee accidentally counted a kickout at the end so Konnan came back out to book things right there on the fly and not have the fans piss all over it. Good decision on his (or whoever it was) part.
Video package hyping Team AJPW has no sound either.
Lucha World Cup Quarterfinals

Kenzo spent more than a year in AAA a few years ago and Tiger Mask III worked in Mexico for about two years with both UWA and AAA back in the 90’s. Solar hasn’t work in AAA since 1995 when he was working as El Mariachi. The amounts of submission holds that are about to be shown here is pretty immense. Masamune and the legendary Solar will start this one off. Solar and Masamune exchange headlocks and waistlocks and then Solar catches Masamune with an armdrag. Masamune trips Solar and then stands on the back of Solar before kicking him to show some disrespect to the legend. Masamune lays across the top rope to taunt Solar and then Solar trips Masamune and puts him in a Mexican Death Lock and then rolls him over into a modified Octopus!

Wagner seems to be injured following the match and is taken off on a stretcher. They even put his neck in a brace, and if it is simply just a storyline angle that is pretty lame especially considering the Perro Aguayo Jr. issue is less than three months old.
