Albuquerque, New Mexico (Hard Rock Hotel & Casino)
October 22, 2011
Commentators: Kevin Kelly & Todd Romero
Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com
This week’s episode of “Masked Warriors” opens up with highlights from last week.
In the back Rebecca Reyes with RJ Brewer and Lizzy Carter. Brewer is wearing a bandanna to cover up his newly shaved head. Carter says that Magno cheated last week and his illegal friends stuck their noses in RJ’s business. Brewer says his hair will grow back but he lost his dignity and respect to a bunch of thieves who hide their faces. Brewer says they lost a small battle but they will win the war. Brewer says since day one he’s said the masks are wrong. He says all the masks are wrong but he goes to his “collection” of masks he started but someone has stolen the mask he stole from Super Nova and replaced it with a pink wig. Rebecca laughs and Brewer calls her a skank and then tells Rebecca to tell Magno that they’re challenging him to a match against a member of The Right this week.
Petey Williams vs. Charly Malice
I do believe this is a first time ever matchup. Clips of Petey hitting Malice with the Destroyer in the Title Match a few weeks ago are shown. They lockup and Malice gets Petey in a wristlock. Petey rolls through and counters into one of his own. Malice reverses it back into one of his own and then Malice takes Petey down and rolls him up for a nearfall. Petey reverses it into a pin of his own for a nearfall. They lockup again and Malice gets a side headlock but Petey shoves him into the ropes only to eat a shoulder block for another nearfall. Malice hits the ropes and hits a Cross Body for another nearfall. Malice hits a Springboard Cross Body and gets yet another nearfall. Malice chops Petey and then whips him into the corner but Petey floats up and over the charging Malice. Malice immediately springs to the top and dives off with a Flying Cross Body, but Petey counters in midair with a dropkick! Petey puts the boots to Malice and then tosses him into the corner. Petey hits several chops and then he chokes Malice on the middle rope. Petey hits a running dropkick to the back of Malice’s head and gets another nearfall. Petey puts Malice in a Nerve Hold on Malice’s shoulder and Malice fights to his feet but Petey slams him to the mat by his hair. Petey whips Malice into the ropes and hits a clothesline. Petey follows up with Forearm Smashes, and then he hits the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Malice catches his arm and then counters into a series of crazy mat wrestling holds until finally pinning Petey for a nearfall. Charly hits a hurricanrana that sends Petey through the ropes and then he follows up with a Tope Suicida through the ropes onto Petey on the floor!
—————————————-COMMERCIAL BREAK—————————————
Back from the break RJ Brewer & Lizzy Carter walk down the ramp as Malice tosses Petey back into the ring. Brewer grabs Malice’s leg while Petey distracts the referee. Petey grabs Malice but Malice rolls him up! 1…2…NO Petey kicks out! Malice goes for a Suplex but Petey blocks it and then hits his Spinning Headscissors into a Russian Leg Sweep! The Canadian Legsweep! 1…2…NO Malice kicks out! Petey then hits a Cradle Flatliner! 1…2…NO Malice kicks out! Petey calls for The Destroyer but Malice shoves him away and then hits a Wheelbarrow rollup into the Malicious Intent! He locks it in but Petey fights and gets to the ropes. Malice grabs Petey’s leg but Petey hits him with an Enziguri and then he goes for The Destroyer! Malice trips Petey’s leg and goes for the Malicious Intent again! Lizzy gets on the apron and distracts the referee allowing Brewer to get up on the apron on the other side and snap Malice’s head off the ropes! Petey then hits The Destroyer! 1…2…3!
Winner: Petey via pinfall (The Destroyer)
In the back Mini Park and Pequeno Halloween are arguing. Park is angry that Halloween is always getting involved in his business but Halloween says he was protecting his wife. They say that they’re going to finish this thing once and for all. Rather than have a match they bowl each other, awesome. The other minis join them. Park wins and Halloween has to pay Park off. Tigressa Caliente comes up and takes the money from Park.
Magno has accepted the challenge tonight and he will face a member of The Right next!
—————————————-COMMERCIAL BREAK—————————————
Magno comes out to the ring and then Brewer and Petey come out and Brewer says he’s surprised Magno actually accepted this challenge. Petey screams “RIGHT POWER!” Petey says Magno should have waited to find out who he was going to face before he accepted this challenge. Brewer says he will face a member of The Right but he won’t be facing Brewer, Petey, or Lizzy. Brewer says the RJ Brewer way is building fences not bridges but sometimes fences aren’t good enough to keep out animals like Magno. He says sometimes you need a “firewall” and his opponent tonight is their newest member “Firewall” Jon Rekon! One of the biggest men you will ever see in your life then walks out and rips a chain in half! That man is also known as “Strong Man” in CMLL, he is an international star who mostly wrestles for CMLL in Mexico and New Japan in Japan. He is the size of a freaking house and unnaturally strong.
Magno vs. “Firewall” Jon Rekon w/The Right
Rekon and Magno lockup and Rekon tosses Magno back like a ragdoll. Rekon then charges at Magno but Magno hits him with a back elbow. Magno then goes to the apron and hits a Leaping Enziguri! Magno then hits several leg kicks and hits the ropes but Rekon literally runs THROUGH Magno! Rekon goes for an Elbow Drop but Magno rolls out of the way and then hits a Sliding Dropkick! Magno covers Rekon but Rekon kicks out by tossing Magno off of him. Magno follows up with more leg kicks and then a Sliding Dropkick to Rekon’s knee! Magno grabs Rekon’s leg but Rekon kicks Magno across the ring with his free leg! Rekon chokes Magno on the ropes and then he hits a series of Forearms in the corner. Rekon whips Magno hard into the opposite corner. Rekon then grabs Magno and shoves him hard into the corner again and then he chops Magno. Rekon hits a Scoop Slam and then covers Magno with one foot but only gets a two count. Magno fights back with kick after kick and Forearms and then he ducks a clothesline attempt from Rekon but when he back handsprings off the ropes Rekon lays him out with a clothesline to the back. Rekon picks Magno up and then picks Magno up on his shoulders and hit’s a Samoan Drop for the pin!
Winner: Jon Rekon via pinfall (Samoan Drop)
After the match The Right continue to beat on Magno and then Rekon grabs Magno and tries to pull his mask off but Super Nova and Rocky Romero run down and attack The Right! Romero & Nova hit a Double Dropkick on Rekon! The numbers game gets the better of them, though, and The Right takes them out. The Right stands tall in the ring.

Winners & NEW Tag Team Champs: Rudisimo via submission
Rudisimo celebrates with their new belts in the ring and Kevin Kelly says that next week The Right says they will declare war.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Today was probably the best episode of LL-USA so far this season. Really fun show this week.
The Mini’s Bowling was funny as usual.
Malice-Petey was a little more slow paced then I figured it would be but still a good match.
Magno-Rekon was almost a squash match and I would really have rather that happened to someone else other than Magno since Magno just took the hair of Brewer just a week ago. Rekon is a MONSTER.
The Main Event was an awesome match with all 6 guys going hard. I’ve really started to like Rudisimo as a team so giving them the win was right I think. The hooded men mystery continues to be confusing.
