Visit La Mosca de Francia.  He rocks the ass.

After feuding irregularly for the last two weeks, Dr. Wagner Jr and Atlantis prepare to face each other one-on-one in the opening vignette...

Dr. Wagner Jr. (w/ Black Metal) VS.
Atlantis


Wagner comes to the ring brandishing a rusty sledge hammer, and is accompanied by Black Metal (who posts regularly on the Highspots message board!) After a quick first round, Atlantis gets the pin with a hurricanrana. Wagner demonstrates his strength advantage over fishface throughout the second fall, putting him away with a sitout tigerbomb. At the start of the third fall, Wagner intimidates a front row fan, and when the frightened fan gets up, the bad doctor checks his seat to see if the fan wet it. After both luchadores tug at each others masks (Wagner frosts his hair! Who'd a thought?), Black Metal brings Wagner the sledge, but the ref takes it from him before he has a chance to use it. The match ends in a double disqualification when both luchadores simultaneously remove each others mask in a great spot.

Is there any doubt what this weeks pick is? SUPER DIET COOKIES! For the dieter who just can't help but shove cookies in their fat mouth.

Zumbido, Virus & Averno VS.
La Fiera, Tony Rivera & Ricky Marvin


First fall begins with Zumbidowski gnawing on La Fieras washed up forehead. Rudos squash the tecnicos for the fall. Great second round highlighted by the high flying prowess of Tony Rivera and Ricky Marvin. Tecnicos get pinfalls on each rudo for the second fall win. Even better third fall with Fiera getting the win when Zumbido submits to his leglock. There is really no excuse for CMLL ot showing more matches showcasing Rivera and Marvin's talents. Great match.

An Olympico injury update with footage of doctors removing pins from his toes.

Boriquas make their way to the ring, where Pierroth Jr. berates Gran Markus before the tecnicos hit the ring...

Gran Markus Jr, Poder Boriqua, Killer & Veneno VS.
Los Villanos & Mr. Niebla


Tecnicos get the first fall with a 4-man lion tamer on Veneno. Veneno pins one of the masked Villanos in the second fall, but that doesn't stop the tecnicos from winning the ugly second fall. Pierroth calls out Markus afterwards and the Boriquas jump him out of the clan. Apparently, Poder Boriqua is a Markus sympathizer, and will also leave the group.

Momentos Estelares
Wagner, Bracito del Oro and Huricancito Ramirez all get featured, as well as a reply of Safari's infamous tope onto Mephisto last week. Just for the record, it looked like Safari jumped the gun a bit, and Mephisto did his best to catch him.

As bad ass as the Guerreros Del Inferno are, their mode of transportation is a station wagon. Black Tiger rides shotgun, as Ultimo Guerrero and Mascara Magica await the arrival of Tarzan boy on the way to the gym in their latest vignette. Tarzan is running late, so Tiger opts to catch a cab...
Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy & Black Tiger VS.
Shocker, Brazo de Plata & Negro Casas


The tecnicos were granted the rematch from last weeks match. Tarzan fouls Shocker early in the first fall, but the ref misses it. After some standard Porky-hijinks, the tecnicos get the double pin on Ultimo Guerrero and Black Tiger. The pace slows down in the second fall with the rudos getting submission wins on the tecnicos. Black Tiger gets extra points from making Shocker tap to a crippler crossface. MEXICO LOVES BENOIT! Porky's oversized belly dominates most of the third fall. Rey Bucanero makes the run in, resulting in the ref awarding the match to the tecnico team. During the post-match mic work, Shocker cuts an inspired promo, expressing that he's willing to put his hair against any of the Guerreros hair/masks. I'm guessing we'll see another related rematch, with ReyBuc filling in for Black Tiger.
