Great Eddie Guerrero fan site.

Visit La Mosca de Francia. He rocks the ass.

The show opens at a training gym, as we are treated to a Zumbido vignette with him shooting the shit with Mephisto and Averno.

Zumbido, Mephisto & Averno VS.
Antifaz, Safari & La Fiera

Fast paced first fall with some innovative matwork between Zumbido and Antifaz. Safari gets the fall with a super clean huricanrana pin. Rudos look great in the second round, finishing off their opponents with a huricanrana, followed by double diving headbutts from the Infernales. Sarari hits an INSANE tope suicida on Mephisto in the third fall, with both of them hitting the metal ramp hard on impact. Tecnicos get the win when Baby Richard busts Averno for low blowing Fiera. 

Galavision commercial of the week: L' Patch! 
Roxanna better take her patch off already, before she loses that junk in the trunk.

Another Boriquas vignette with Markus making further attempts to get Veneno and Violencia to leave the leadership of Pierroth Jr...

Gran Markus Jr., Violencia & Veneno VS.
Los Villanos

Killer has a new mask with a tribal design in the Puerto Rican colors. It's also interesting to see Markus cue up his own Mexican theme song after the other Boriquas make their entrance. Villanos get the first fall after an uneventful round. A few accidental big splashes on his own partner cause Gran Markus to cost his team the second straight fall, and the match. For the second week in a row, Markus fights with the other Boriquas after the match, and stomps back to the locker room.

Momentos Estelares
It must've been slim pickings in the highlight bin this week. Most were from the Shocker/Infernales vs. M2K/Guapos match last week.

After some commercials, we get a hilarious vignette with Super Porky stalking Shocker. Let me be the first to say that a situation comedy featuring Super Porky and Shocker as a couple of bumbling private investigators would get super ratings. 
Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy & Black Tiger VS.
Shocker, Brazo De Plata & Negro Casas

Before the match, Tarzan mocks Porky's new buzz cut (you see, Tarzan Boy took his hair at the last PPV). Black Tiger fills in for Mascara Magica for the Guerreros del Inferno's 3-man chain moves, and the ruodos take the first fall. In a truly gruesome display, the rudos manually try to open up Porky's tore up forehead with their fingernails and knuckles. Tecnicos win the fall when Shocker impressively when Shocker turns a flying head scissors into a huricanrana IN MID AIR, and Porky crushes Tarzan Boy with a sitout splash, and then goes into the classic Thinker pose. If you look closely, you'll notice that Porky has bleached his chest hair blonde as well. I wish they would have taped him doing that for a vignette. Tiger looks great in the third fall, nailing Negro Casas with a textbook death valley driver. Later, while the ref is checking on Black Tiger who is in a Negro Casas sharpshooter, Tarzan fouls Shocker and gets the pin. Porky roughs up the official afterwards in a moment of Porky-rage. The tecnicos demand a rematch in the post match wrap up, which ends with Ultimo Guerrero bitch slapping Porky.
