GALLI (SUN) 03/13/2011 Addison Communinty Center, Addison, Illinois Attendance: 175
1) Ovirload b Joey Marx
Marx is still really good. Ovirload is a masked dark skinned man, with manager JC Smallz. Marx was about to do a top rope move when Ovirload's manager tripped him. Ovirload dropped Marx with a reverse stunner for the win. Good opener. Ovirload has the worst music, only fans of German noise bands could appreciate it.
2) G2L & Rey Fuego b Fúnebre & Sepultura
I'm sure I have at least two names wrong in this match; undercard was changed around quite a bit from what was listed. Fuego is a dancing flyer in the mold of Zumbi, G2L (can't be right) is a ex-convict who's a tecnico but still in touch with his convict roots, Sepultura was a bald man. Disjoined match - I'd look away for a second, and the other team would be in control when I looked back, for no apparent reason - but lots of action. Fuego got his trunks pulled on a sunset flip spot, but recovered to pin Sepultura on a bridging cover. 10 minuet match.
3) Ace Martino, Diego Corleone, Jack ONeil b Alex Olsen, Matt Knicks, Nikita Allanov
When Matt and Alex came bouncing out to the ring and Nikita sternly walked behind them, I was sure there was a turn coming. There was, just the wrong guy. Knicks and Josh? had a miscommunication that led to Knicks shoving Alex into the rudos attack, starting a long face in peril bit. After a lot of triple teaming and chicanery, Alex made the hot tag to Nikita. Things broke down from there. Triple stunners by the tecnicos looked to set up dives, but Matt crotched Alex on the top rope, then fouled Nikita just as he was going to get his hands on Diego. Diego covered for the win, and Knicks joined the rudos post match. About 11 minutes.
4) Bryce Benjamin, Mason Conrad, Valentino b Furia Roja, Golden Star, Guardián
Rudos represent the Underground, but Guardian has their (Bryce's) title belt. Guardian is a lot better than the last time I've seen him; he was OK, now he's quite good. Most everyone looked good in this match, built around Bryce wanting to fight Guardain but not head to head. Rudos were no match for the tecnicos near the end, tecnicos almost slaughtering them, when a ref distraction allowed Ovirload to slip and punch Guardian with knucks. Conrad picked up the pin. GALLI promoter Carlos Robles suspended all four rudos and their manager from the next show (in a couple weeks) for this vile act of cheating. 11 minutes.
5) Discovery & Máscarita Dorada b Pierrothito & Yakuza
it's the Mascarita Dorada/Pierrothito show, it's up to the other guys just to keep up. Discovery and Yakzua did enough. Pierrothito was not only vexed by his diminutive opponent, but by the microphone (holding it to close and breaking up every time he talked.) Probably not a lot you haven't seen if you've seen these two, and not a full on crazy match, but still a very good one. First three fall match of the night, rudos taking the first, tecnicos rallying back for the second and third. Didn't realize Dorada and Octagoncito are using the same exact cradle finish until Dorada used it here to win. Pierrothito and Dorada talked about a title vs title match after this one.
6) 450 Hammet, Samuray del Sol, Shiima Xion b Emperador, Low Rider, Pesadilla Samuray, 450 Hammet & Shima Zion VS Low Rider, Pesadilla & Emperador (posted by gallilucha)
Low Rider & Pesadilla wore Perros del Mal shirts. Samuray had a I [heart] DTU shirt, and Xion was wearing a EXTREMO one. Another match where a lot of people looked really good. Low Rider was the standout to me, a great guy at interacting with the crowd and showing personality, besides the other excellent work. Very high on him after seeing this match. Just like the semimain, rudos took the first, tecnicos came back to win the second (maybe a too over complicated finish here), big dive train (Xion last) in the third, and all the tecnicos did 450 splashes on all rudos for the win. Funebre helped the rudos attack the tecnicos post match; Samurai's mask was pulled off and ripped up. Tecnicos from earlier in the show made the save. Joey Marx slid face first into the ring at full speed, but his pants must've got caught on something, because he slid half the way out of them, mooning the crowd. Everyone in the ring just about died laughing for a moment about it, before more post match challenges.

Event Notes: bottom rope broke during intermission, thanks to kids jumping on it. Was right at the end of intermission too, which turned out to be about the middle of it. Everything was working by the time the fifth match started.
