8/20 Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors recap

Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors
Las Vegas, Nevada (Thomas & Mack Center)
August 20, 2010
Commentators: Nigel Sherrod & Lalo Gonzalez
Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com

“Masked Warriors” opens up with clips from the last few weeks highlighting the drama between Rebecca Reyes and Pequeno Halloween (including a slow motion replay of Halloween slapping Rebecca’s beautiful backside). We then cut to a vignette of some Elvis Presley look alike at a wedding alter in Las Vegas. Pequeno Halloween is the groom with Neutronic as his best man (naturally) and a very curvy young lady (take one guess who that is) looking woozy but with a vale over her face. Chi Chi and some guy with a purple mask are surrounding her. When the Elvis lookalike asks Rebecca if she takes Halloween as her husband she answers with “yeah, I’ll have another shot…” and then when he asks again Chi Chi mimes “I do.” Halloween removes the vale and Rebecca’s face is actually painted like Pequeno Halloween.

We cut to ringside where Lalo & Nigel hype the card for tonight which will feature the PR Powers against Magno & Mascara Purpura in a Tag Titles Tournament match and in the Main Event Charly Manson goes one-on-one with RelliK in a Hardcore Match.

We cut to the ring where RJ Brewer is complaining about Magno beating him. He says anybody can get lucky 2 times and the announcers say he’s mad the 6-sided ring is back. Brewer says he’s going to show everyone in this immigrant infested state and at home that he is the superior athlete between he and Magno. He tells Magno to get out there now so he can give him a one-way ticket back to Mexico.

Magno walks out and says he would love to come out there and beat Brewer for the third time but he’s already booked in a match tonight, but he’s got one of his buddies that’s looking for a match tonight too if Brewer really wants one. Brewer says that now everybody knows that he’s a coward as well as lucky. Brewer agrees to face one of Magno’s “people.” Magno says that he warned brewer and then “I Luv I” by Young Jeezy hits and Mascarita Dorada walks out!

Mascarita Dorada vs. RJ Brewer

Brewer gets down on his knees to mock Dorada and then locks up with Dorada on his knees. He flings Dorada back and taunts him more. Dorada then starts kicking away at Brewer and then he chops him. Brewer gets back and gets to his feet. He goes for a running clothesline but Dorada ducks underneath it and then slides through Brewer’s legs as well as he turns around. Dorada then points up in the sky and Brewer falls for it which allows Dorada to jump up and chop him in the chest again. Dorada then avoids a Running Mafia Kick from Brewer and Brewer gets hump in the ropes. Dorada then kicks Brewer’s legs and covers him for a one count but Brewer flings him off. Dorada tries to slide underneath Brewer’s legs again but this time Brewer catches him and throws him into the corner. Brewer shoves Dorada into the corner again and then picks Dorada up by his leg and flings him across the ring. Brewer picks Dorada up and swings him around the ring by his neck and then kicks him as he sets him back on the mat. Brewer goes for a Running Kick again but this time Dorada catches his foot and spins him around. Dorada actually lifts Brewer up onto his shoulders! Dorada hits a Fireman’s Cary Slam and then a Double Foot Stomp followed by a Seated Dropkick! Dorada goes to the apron and goes for a Springboard Cross Body but Brewer catches him! Brewer then laughs and starts rocking Dorada like a baby taunting him. Brewer then puts Dorada up on the top rope and pats him on the head and then smacks him off the top rope down to the floor! Dorada climbs back up to the top rope as Brewer taunted the crowd! Dorada dives off the top with a Diving Hurricanrana! Dorada follows up with the Spinning Head Scissors Takeover! Dorada hits a dropkick that sends Brewer out to the floor. Dorada then hits a Springboard Plancha off the top onto Brewer which causes Brewer to fall back into the guardrail! Dorada kicks Brewer and then he drags Brewer back into the ring. Dorada climbs up top as the referee checks on Brewer. Some chick comes out of the crowd and shoves Dorada off the top! Brewer then covers Dorada and gets the pin!

Winner: Brewer via pinfall (white girl shoving Dorada off the top)

——————COMMERCIAL BREAK————————–

Back from commercials Nigel and Lalo talk about what just went down and then they show the brackets for the Tag Tourney. The winners of the Tag Titles Match tonight will face Lizmark Jr. and Sydistiko in the Semifinals.

We cut to the back where Rebecca Reyes is supposed to be with Octagoncito but Octagon is all alone. He looks around for Rebecca but she’s nowhere to be found.

We then cut to footage of Marco Corleone doing radio interviews promoting LL-USA and Lizmark Jr. calls into the interview. Lizmark asks Marco why he isn’t at the hospital with his boy, Solid, instead of doing a radio interview. Marco calls Lizmark a coward and asks why Lizmark isn’t with his boy Sydistiko in the hospital. Lizmark says Marco shouldn’t worry about that because when they’re done with Super Nova, Marco will be all alone against Treachery. Lizmark says Marco has stolen everything from him and now it’s time for Lizmark to get revenge, but Marco says all Lizmark ever does is talk. Lizmark tells Marco to watch his back.

In the back Brewer and the blonde girl are celebrating what happened. She says ‘daddy’ will be happy and then says she wants to leave before she catches something from ‘these people’ and then they leave the arena. I don’t know if that’s supposed to be Brewer’s sister or his girlfriend.

——————COMMERCIAL BREAK————————–

Back from commercial PR Powers are still celebrating their win as the rudo faction of Oriental, Tinieblas, and Neutronic look on. They pick up their chairs and then act like they’re going to get in the ring, but PR Flyer cuts them off. Flyer says they talk about respect all the time but they jump the Powers in the back last week. He says they talked to the commissioner and next week Neutronic, Tinieblas, and Oriental will be facing PR Powers and Carlito Colon!

We cut to Rebecca Reyes waking up n her hotel room (still with Halloween facepaint on) and then she walks into the bathroom and sees the facepaint. She freaks out and then sees the ring and freaks out some more. Halloween walks in and she screams some more.

RelliK fights the hold but finally has to tap out!

Winner: Malice via submission (Malicious Intent)


Final Thoughts

Much better this week but still some complaints from here. I like that we are getting some storylines furthered (RelliK and Malice, Treachery and Marco, Brewer and Magno, etc.) but they still have so many storyline gaps that it’s like they think the fans should just know this stuff. Like what is Lizmark talking about when he says Marco took everything him (hopefully they will at least touch on this later) and what is Marco talking about when he says they put Sydistiko in the hospital? Nothing else was said about it. Also, the commentary is getting better actually as Lalo is laying the rudo announcer thing on as heavy as he was the first few weeks. The audio in the crowd was still awful tonight, that has got to be fixed.

The opener was a fun little entertaining match between Brewer and Dorada.

All the vignettes were cheesy (especially the Marco one) but at least Pequeno Halloween is funny.

The Tag Team match was GREAT but that botch at the end of the finish really hurt, but really a fun match.

Main Event was okay but nothing too hardcore but Malice was able to pull a decent match out of RelliK. I’m looking forward to seeing Carlito next week. It’s a good thing they are hyping this before the show.

Promo/Segment of the Night: Pequeno Halloween marries Rebecca
