00:00:00globe waiting to witness history mask versus mask in triple a
00:00:53to excuse our general manager ray mysterio taking a moment to make it to the entryway
00:00:58after leaving the commentary desk the brand new general manager of triple a the wwe and triple a
00:01:06hall of famer ray mysterio making an appearance prior to this colossal historic mass versus mask
00:01:15main event john i know it's a touchy subject for you but how excited are you to have ray mysterio
00:01:23leading the ship for triple a well i wish we'd leave commentary just for good but i doubt he has
00:01:30done a great job as general manager what what he did last week when you had the americanos go after
00:01:35each other and that voided their contract that meant no match ray mysterio says no we are going to have
00:01:41this under my rules so what ray mysterio has done as general manager fab begrudgingly applaud
00:01:49there we see moments earlier in the day as both the original and el grande americano
00:01:56prepare for the biggest battle of their lives
00:02:14in each page of each story
00:02:16of each other they draw rivalities hero contra villain
00:02:22hero contra villaino rudo contra técnico
00:02:26Leyenda contra impostor
00:02:30Esta noche uno lucha por el honor
00:02:34Mientras que el otro se esconde tras un mito robado
00:02:37Esta historia de engaño, esta historia de fraude
00:02:43Esta guerra generacional por la identidad única del grande americano
00:02:49Evolucionó rápidamente
00:02:51Hasta convertirse en una de las rivalidades emblemáticas de la lucha libre
00:02:57Y si bien esta controversia ha generado animosidad
00:03:01También ha dado origen a un hÃgado
00:03:06El grande americano
00:03:08El más probable es el saviario para el buen pueblo de México
00:03:15El orgullo mexicano no es el color de tu piel
00:03:21Es nuestra cultura, la cultura más hermosa del mundo
00:03:26Un americano nace donde se le da la llana
00:03:34Sumergiéndose en la cultura mexicana
00:03:36El grande americano se ha erigido como el corazón y el alma de triple A
00:03:41Y como una figura única en la lucha libre
00:03:48What the hell's this?
00:03:50I told you that there's more than one El grande americano
00:03:54Hola
00:03:57Now there's been an impostor americano running around this place
00:04:01And it makes me sick
00:04:04Enter the original
00:04:05The absolute best luchador of planet earth
00:04:10With a hundred plus years of experience
00:04:14From a fountain of youth in Mexico
00:04:16And he's been drinking it ever since
00:04:18No one's questioning the ability of the original
00:04:21That is not a luchador myth
00:04:23In the sense that the lucha libre world
00:04:27Deemed to him the fraudulent americano
00:04:29The original was out for blood
00:04:33Un ataque brutal, sin piedad
00:04:36The original El grande americano snapped
00:04:39Ni siquiera vio cuando iba a atacar
00:04:41The OG definitely means lucha disrespect
00:04:46Eventually, the original locked his will
00:04:49Unto his true arch-rival
00:04:51Hijacking a coveted spot in the Rey de Reyes finals
00:04:55But El grande americano persevere
00:04:58Serving the original a toast of heretic justice
00:05:03Final del torneo Rey de Reyes
00:05:06This is payback
00:05:10The original's been handcuffed
00:05:13Hoy tenemos al grande americano
00:05:16Como Rey de Reyes
00:05:17Y ahora
00:05:19Con el impulso de su lado
00:05:21El grande americano estaba listo para la justicia
00:05:28Revenge is sweet
00:05:30Con el pulmado por México, por favor
00:05:34Lo suelo, sacado, ojo por ojo
00:05:39Diente por diente
00:05:43Y sangre por sangre
00:05:46Tú, yo, máscara contra el aso
00:05:53I'm going to prove that there's only uno original,
00:05:59El Grande Americano, and you're looking at it.
00:06:04Gracias!
00:06:23Y siempre será mexicano.
00:06:30¿Quién será desenmascarado?
00:06:33¿Quién quedará reivindicado?
00:06:37¿Quién será humillado?
00:06:40¿Y quién saldrá de Monterrey como el verdadero, El Grande Americano?
00:07:00Los que descubran como el verdadero?
00:07:04¡No, no, no!
00:07:16¡No se trata!
00:07:16¿Cómo podemos que más bingos?

00:30:31We're right back.
00:30:45I've never seen him this tenacious, I've never seen him this good.
00:30:49Jesus.
00:30:50Look at this, he is tenacious, he is at the top of the game.
00:30:54He is ruthless, both stars on the top row, belly a back suplex, my goodness.
00:31:02Cover him.
00:31:03He could be knocked out.
00:31:06You might be right, Ray, and this could be the beginning of the end for
00:31:10the fairytale story that has been the phenomenon of El Grande Americano in Mexico.
00:31:17The original can't cover him.
00:31:19Look at this, what a- I believe the original might have taken enough
00:31:25out of himself to be preventative from making the cover.
00:31:32A high angle, nasty landing for both individuals.
00:31:41Let's go round it.
00:31:44A carefully measured light.
00:31:48Uh-oh.
00:32:00El Grande Americano asking for more,
00:32:04saying, gee, is that all you've got?
00:32:06A high angle.
00:32:08One, two, three, four.
00:32:19Blockbuster by Americano.
00:32:21Hooks the leg.
00:32:24One, two, three, four.
00:32:27One, two, three, four.
00:32:29One, two, three, four.
00:32:31But is that what he's got let up?
00:32:34Americano, Americano reaching out to his people, to his familia, to his hente.
00:32:42Summoning the will to continue to fight for his identity, for Pimpy, for Mexico.
00:32:53For the character he stole from the original Americano.
00:33:08And now the original in danger of being unmasked.
00:33:13Great choice, I have to say, there's nothing like a little bit of payback.
00:33:20Disrespect runs both ways.
00:33:23I'm just saying, you know, it's happened to me before.
00:33:25If I could get the opportunity to pay back, I would do it.
00:33:29I couldn't understand that.
00:33:37The original able to roll through on the outside.
00:33:45And deposited face first on top of the steel ring stairs was the original El Grande Americano.
00:33:52It was one of those silent ones too, like just enough pressure to hit him right on the edge.
00:33:59That's right, he looks like he got him right on the edge.
00:34:03Those probably hurt the worst.
00:34:14This has been a fight from the opening bell.
00:34:24And now the original feeling the end could be near.
00:34:36El Grande Americano delivering rapid fire rights, attempting to return the favor and perhaps open up the original El Grande
00:34:48Americano.
00:34:52Mission accomplished.
00:34:55Yes.
00:34:55Yes.
00:34:58Hooks the leg.
00:34:59Can't take it.
00:35:07These two warriors fighting tooth and nail, scratching and clawing to best the other.
00:35:16The stakes do not get any higher.
00:35:19They know whatever happens in the next few minutes will define the rest of their lives.
00:35:32Americano searching under the ring once again for more weaponry.
00:35:35No disqualification.
00:35:42Both men busted wide open.
00:35:51Americano attempting to position the chair in between the turnbuckles.
00:35:57The original now given several moments to recover.
00:36:01Could be making a mistake.
00:36:03Probably a bad idea.
00:36:05Yes it is.
00:36:10Oh no!
00:36:13German suplex from the original.
00:36:28The original swings and misses.
00:36:31Oh man!
00:36:33Chair on chair.
00:36:34Cover!
00:36:35For the mask!
00:36:36Oh!
00:36:37What the hell?
00:36:38What happened?
00:36:40Oh no!
00:36:41Los Americanos, Hermanos, Julio and Brudo.
00:36:47Julio and Brudo have hit the scene to assist the original El Grande Americano.
00:36:53You know something like this had to happen.
00:36:56It's no disqualification.
00:36:57The stakes couldn't be higher.
00:36:58Two careers.
00:36:59Defining moments we're about to see.
00:37:02And Julio and Brudo just made their bark.
00:37:11Julio and Brudo doing the heavy lifting, the dirty work of the original.
00:37:16Putting El Grande Americano through the announce table.
00:37:28Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, it does not appear that the saga of El Grande Americano
00:37:35will have a happy ending tonight in Monterey.
00:37:38Depends on how you define happy.
00:37:42Diving headbutt.
00:37:45The right...
00:37:47Oh my goodness!
00:37:48Oh ho ho ho!
00:37:55Running on instinct and instinct alone.
00:37:59Somehow, some way, the Mexican icon El Grande Americano kicks out.
00:38:07The Mexican thief kicked out.
00:38:11Unless one of the other guys is holding you down, I don't see one of these guys giving up the
00:38:16fall.
00:38:17I really don't.
00:38:18That's a rewrite.
00:38:19Wait a second!
00:38:22Ryo and Bravo!
00:38:24Ryo and Bravo, Americano!
00:38:27Evening the odds!
00:38:29Taking out Julio and Brudo!
00:38:33I don't know if they're taking them out.
00:38:35They're certainly occupying their time though.
00:38:40They're doing their job.
00:38:44A kendo stick!
00:38:48Ryo, Americano, teeing off on Julio and Brudo!
00:38:56This is chaos!
00:38:59Yes it is!
00:38:59This is madness!
00:39:00This is Lucha!
00:39:05Wait a minute!
00:39:06Wait a minute!
00:39:07Wait a minute!
00:39:09Hey!
00:39:10Dios mio!
00:39:14Ryo!
00:39:15Let the bodies hit the floor!
00:39:20This is how much Mask vs Mask means to both teams!
00:39:26Ryo and Bravo, Americano!
00:39:28Julio and Bruno, Los Americanos Hermanos!
00:39:34Someone's life will be changed!
00:39:36Both lives are going to be changed forever!
00:39:38One for the better, one for the much worse!
00:39:43Bravo, Americano, from a height that has to be at least 15 feet in the air!
00:39:48Launching himself, sacrificing himself in hopes of keeping the match even!
00:39:55Keeping the odds equal!
00:39:57Keeping Mask vs Mask decisive and fair!
00:40:05What's he doing?
00:40:07What?
00:40:07What is he calling out?
00:40:09Oh!
00:40:10It's Ojitos!
00:40:11He's starting the fight!
00:40:14Oh!
00:40:15Ojitos!
00:40:16The comedian who was assaulted!
00:40:18No!
00:40:18No!
00:40:18Not again!
00:40:21There you go!
00:40:23Look at that walking stick!
00:40:24What are they cheering for?
00:40:26He was just talking!
00:40:30I don't blame him!
00:40:38Come on, comedian's a troublemaker!
00:40:42I don't know how he's not banned from the arena!
00:40:45You need to throw him out of Mexico!
00:40:51The question is, can El Grande Americano capitalize?
00:40:55Maybe not!
00:40:56Rolling Liger Kick by the original!
00:41:04You can see the exhaustion building up!
00:41:09What?
00:41:09This has become a battle of wills!
00:41:11What the hell?
00:41:20What?!
00:41:21What?!
00:41:21What?!
00:41:23What?!
00:41:23What?!
00:41:24Diving hands on by Americano!
00:41:26Not this way!
00:41:27No!
00:41:28No!
00:41:29I thought that was it!
00:41:30Oh, my God!
00:41:33First, Ojitos!
00:41:35Then, Pipinella Escarlata!
00:41:38The ghosts of the originals past!
00:41:41Haunting him tonight in Monterey!
00:41:43Neither one of them have any businessmen at ringside!
00:41:46Need to deport them both!
00:41:50Throw him out of the arena!
00:42:04This has devolved into a battle of sheer will!
00:42:09It's about legacy!
00:42:12Somebody is about to lose their right, their legacy, their identity, everything!
00:42:22And a length of bull rope has been introduced by Americano!
00:42:32Reminiscent of the great Tejano!
00:42:40I've never been hit by one of those, but I would imagine it hurts!
00:42:45And a foul, a low blow by the original!
00:42:49Not a foul, no disqualifications, Corey!
00:42:53You're right in this one, John!
00:42:55You're absolutely right!
00:42:56Perfectly legal in the original!
00:42:59Now, whipping Americano mercilessly with a bull rope!
00:43:09Bradshaw, you know a thing or two about utilizing a bull rope in a wrestling match!
00:43:14I certainly do!
00:43:15I've had my nose broke by, I've had ribs broke by, absolutely!
00:43:26Wow!
00:43:27My lord!
00:43:28Planted, face burst into the steel chair!
00:43:31That's it!
00:43:32You got him original!
00:43:33That's it!
00:43:33That's it!
00:43:34Goodbye to the fake Americano!
00:43:37What?
00:43:39It's not gonna be easy!
00:43:40How many times, John?
00:43:41How many times have you written off El Grande Americano tonight, yet he continues to fight?
00:43:48I give you that!
00:43:50He understands his entire future is at stake!
00:43:54Both of them!
00:43:55Both of their futures are at stake!
00:43:58Corey, do you lose your last brawl?
00:44:00You lose your identity, you lose your legacy, you lose everything!
00:44:04How long did that last brawl last him?
00:44:08Oh!
00:44:10Wait a minute!
00:44:11What's she doing here?
00:44:12She was fired!
00:44:13Last I heard from her, she was getting in a fight in some elevator in Florida!
00:44:16What the hell is she doing here?
00:44:19The troublemaker!
00:44:20Andrea was fired!
00:44:22Andrea was fired as a condition by the original El Grande Americano to do this match!
00:44:30Who let her in?
00:44:32I don't know, but this is motivational to El Grande.
00:44:39She's nothing but a troublemaker!
00:44:42She's not supposed to be here!
00:44:44She's not supposed to be here!
00:44:44No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:44:48Don't you dare!
00:44:49Don't lose focus!
00:44:51Original, do not lose focus!
00:44:54Original, go back to the ring!
00:44:57Stay on this!
00:45:00Stay on this!
00:45:02Stay on this!
00:45:03Stay on this!
00:45:05Stay on this!
00:45:05Stay on this!
00:45:05Everybody, you can see me!
00:45:10Andrea bought a ticket!
00:45:12Yes!
00:45:13No, no, no, no, no!
00:45:13No, no, no, she's sold out!
00:45:15No, no, no!
00:45:16No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:45:16No, no, no!
00:45:20And Americano has been unleashed!
00:45:22At least, turning the tables with the bull rope.
00:45:29This is about legacy, this is about pride.
00:45:32Hell, this may be about love.
00:45:36Down goes the original.
00:45:38On the chair.
00:45:39No, no.
00:45:40That's it, that's gotta be it now.
00:45:42No, no.
00:45:46And the original survives yet again.
00:45:55Take another look at this epic DDT delivered by El Grande Americano.
00:46:04Absolutely planted.
00:46:10This crowd is insane.
00:46:14How can you blame them?
00:46:16Esto es lucha.
00:46:18This is lucha.
00:46:19This is what Triple A is all about.
00:46:33What a right hand.
00:46:36They're blocking every punch with their face.
00:46:43The blood flowing beneath the masks.
00:46:47Right hands tattooing one another.
00:46:51Fight broke out.
00:46:53Dazed him.
00:46:55Sure did.
00:47:01Into the corner.
00:47:03The original making the climb.
00:47:05Moonsault.
00:47:08Two.
00:47:10No, no, no, no.
00:47:13That was so close.
00:47:15Yes, it was.
00:47:21These guys are just right.
00:47:23A Herculean effort has been put forth by both competitors tonight.
00:47:28Two true gladiators.
00:47:30Physical wreck.
00:47:31You're correct about that.
00:47:32What a fight we are seeing.
00:47:35This is what mask versus mask.
00:47:38What off Westa.
00:47:39This is what lucha is all about.
00:47:45The original now attempting to attack the legs.
00:47:48Of El Grande Americano.
00:47:51The knee, the ankle being smashed between the ring and the stairs and the steel chair.
00:48:00The original Americano, you guys both know when he sees an injury,
00:48:04it's like shark blood in the water.
00:48:08He is tenacious.
00:48:16This could be curtains for El Grande Americano.
00:48:26The original El Grande Americano cranking with everything he has in the ankle lock submission.
00:48:35The common area, the common area is in.
00:48:42Can the original hold on?
00:48:45Not close to the ropes and there's not a break anyway, it's no disqualification.
00:48:51The OG beginning to fade, but able to free himself into a pinning combination.
00:48:56Back into the ankle lock.
00:49:01He's in pain.
00:49:02The leg is great, but El Grande Americano.
00:49:08No hope at all.
00:49:10There's no break on the ropes.
00:49:11The referee will not stop it unless he submits.
00:49:18I don't care how tough you are, the human body is only built to withstand so much punishment.
00:49:23El Grande Americano's ankle is about to snap.
00:49:27Oh no!
00:49:27He's gonna tap out!
00:49:33Not such a great idea to steal the man's name now, is it?
00:49:37What, the world?
00:49:38Americano can escape!
00:49:40Oh my god!
00:49:50Yeah, that's bad!
00:49:51The ankle!
00:49:52That's bad!
00:49:52The ankle gave way!
00:49:53Yes!
00:49:56That's pretty bad.
00:49:57The saga of El Grande Americano could prove to be a tragedy.
00:50:02The soul may not have limits, but the body does.
00:50:08The original, ready to finish the job.
00:50:15Chaos Theory, bridging pins.
00:50:20Wow, no.
00:50:22It was close.
00:50:25Okay, you gotta start thinking about, how am I gonna pull this win with a broken ankle possibly?
00:50:31And your mind starts, it starts going crazy.
00:50:35You're trying to figure out what I need to do next.
00:50:39He's just trying to survive right now.
00:50:41He's gotta figure out a way to try to figure out how to win.
00:50:44I don't know if it's possible.
00:50:45I mean, it's gotta be.
00:50:46It might just be a matter of time.
00:50:53Both men battered, bloodied.
00:50:56This is war in our main event.
00:51:13Nobody home for the original El Grande Americano.
00:51:16Shoulder first into the ring post.
00:51:20But he's gotta figure out a way to capitalize.
00:51:37Both competitors exhausted, running on fumes.
00:51:44He's talking to them.
00:51:45He said, your finish is right here.
00:51:48You're ended.
00:51:52Oh, how is...

00:52:37The original Americano just lost everything.
00:53:02the matchup was even more grueling than we expected both the original el grande americano
00:53:10and el grande americano alongside julio and bruto and rio and bravo chaos would ensue
00:53:20but it was all about pride it was about being the one and only el grande americano the originals past
00:53:30would come back to haunt him on multiple occasions first ojitos then pipinella escarlata
00:53:38then eventually andrea bazarte at ringside but the running headbutt seals the fate
00:53:47of the original el grande americano who rallied for his people for his country
00:53:57for the culture of mexico for the world of lucha libre
00:54:05the original el grande americano exhausted each and every option
