IWRG TV 6/22/06:

Kid Tiger & Sibelius vs Bacteria & El Macho II: Another joined in progress during the second fall match.:( That means Sibelius got to show NOTHING b/c the tecs won the first fall, Kid Tiger got in his exchange and the rudos proceeded to take over. Bacteria looked alright. The comeback spot in the third fall was pretty crappy and then Sibelius horribly fucked up a spot where he was supposed to backdrop Kid Tiger by accident. Time stood still as they figured out what to do. It was... awful. Thankfully the rudos ended the match right away.

Panterita/Star Boy/Vertigo vs Cyborg/Fantasma De La Opera/Xibalba: Yay - Panterita! Rudos brawled from the start and appeared to have the fall going their way until a miscommunication near the turnbuckles. This started the big comeback. Vertigo worked a decent enough exchange by his standards with Fantasma De La Opera. Sudden finish right afterwards with Panterita and Star Boy pinned Cyborg and Xibalba with double huracanranas as Fantasma ran from Vertigo. Panterita had a fantastic exchange to start the second fall with all the rudos. Crowd chanted his name afterwards. I wonder if that is going to work with FREE LANCE.:/ Rudos once again took over with brawling but again a miscommunication led to Cyborg and Xibalba getting sent outside. Star Boy nailed Xibalba with a tope suicida and then Panterita came FLYING over the top rope with a running somersault plancha into the crowd!!! This left Vertigo and Fantasma but no referee watching. They tried to do the old Vertigo kicks Fantasma low spot but at the same time Fantasma rips off his mask... except Vertigo's mask wasn't loosened at all and refused to come off. Once again time stood still while they jumped around trying to figure out what to do and the ref had to pretend he didn't turn around too early. Finally Fantasma gave one big yank and the mask came off but the finish was horribly ruined by that point. Tecs win by DQ in two falls.

Felino & Pantera vs Dr. Cerebro & Cerebro Negro - Sin Referi: This type of match always confuses people who don't follow Lucha. See... the match is called "Super Libre sin Referi". So no referee, how does the match end? Well... there IS a referee. Except he is only on the outside of the ring and can't get in the ring to stop any illegal submissions, low blows, etc. But he CAN disqualify a team from the outside. So what is the point of a match like this? Don't ask me. Lots and lots of brawling. It seemed like they just ended each fall whenever they wanted as the ref counted to three for no reason. This may have been part of an angle or something... I really wasn't paying attention. Another ref came out at the end of the match to count the final pinfall for the tecnicos. Afterwards they challenged each other and a tag title match was agreed upon. Except next week's show is from Arena Neza and not Arena Naucalpan so instead of these guys in a tag title match, we get a main event with Enfermero Jr.! YAY!

Brazo De Plata/Mr. Niebla/Sagrado vs Blue Demon Jr./Damian El Terrible/Shigeo Okumura: This was taped after Porky had already been on Triplemania so naturally he was the star of the match and got to do all his signature stuff. Sagrado looked okay when in the ring with Terrible but that's the only other noteworthy thing. After the match Porky kissed the announcers goodbye and gave a short speech which was nice.

Really bad episode. Maybe the change to Arena Neza will bring some good matches...
