The final set of tapings for Season 2. There is still no date for when the season will air but the good news is there will be a Season 3. PWTorch.com!
First Half
(1) Rocky Romero beat Petey Williams. This was one of two matches that worked to build up the eventual match between The Latin Liberators and The Right for the vacant tag team titles. This was a great match to open the show, with several nearfalls and exciting spots. The match ended with a particularly clever sequence. Petey had dodged Rocky’s lunge into one of the ringposts, though Rocky had avoided crashing into the post. As Petey recovered, Rocky got in position and played possum to make it appear that he really had been hurt. Petey then casually set up his Canadian Destroyer; Rocky easily reversed this into a pin for the win. Subtle spots like this are often lost on an audience, but this one seemed to go over quite well (a few fans took relish in yelling reassurances to Petey that he indeed had the match as good as won).
After this, The Right, Marco, and Lizmark came out to sign the contract for the upcoming championship match. Ring announcer Leticia Castro announced that Lizmark had added a few extra stipulations to the match. If R.J. lost, The Right would have to disband. R.J. defiantly said he didn’t need The Right to win the match; this angered Petey and Jon Rekon, and the three argued back up the entrance ramp.
Second Half
(7) Petey Williams & Jon Rekon of The Right beat Supernova & Rocky Romero of The Latin Liberators to become the new Lucha Libre USA Tag Team Champions. The two singles matches earlier in the night did a terrific job setting up the dynamics of this tag match, and all four wrestlers played their parts wonderfully. There were lots of great spots throughout, including Rocky pulling off his Cuban Cutter finisher, several big ringside dives, and Petey finally pulling off his Canadian Destroyer (the first time the Albuquerque audience has seen it since January) on Rocky for the win. The crowd response as Petey and Rekon gloated in the ring once again proved just how successful The Right’s rudo gimmick has been – the boos were deafening.
After the match, R.J. celebrated with the belt as his Right stablemates came to the ring and displayed that the stable was now in control of every championship in Lucha Libre USA. Stevie Richards grabbed a mic and demanded the outraged audience to acknowledge R.J. Brewer as their champion. Unfortunately, a net of red, white, and blue balloons over the ring failed to open, and some crew members (as well as The Right) looked visibly upset at this snafu. R.J., Petey, Rekon, and Stevie stood tall at the top of Lucha Libre USA’s entrance ramp to close out the show.

Name: Peter Williams III
