• Wrestling News & Wrestling Rumors – WWE & TNA

Here’s a recap of the wrestling segment from the October 12th episode of The Amazing Race, courtesy of CBS.com:

With Mark & Bill’s taxi stopping for gas, separated couple Ken & Tina arrived at Los Titanes del Ring in first place where they found a Road Block. In it, one team member had to hand the hat they bought to a woman known as a fighting cholita and don a colorful wrestling costume. In a private ring outside of the arena, their cholita would teach them a wrestling routine made up of six moves. When they felt ready to complete the routine, they would return to the main arena with their cholita for the performance. If they messed up, they would have to train again and fight until they got it right.

After Ken got over the initial shock of having to fight a woman, he donned a bright orange costume complete with gold cape and learned the moves as the cholita tossed him from side to side. When Ken felt he was ready to perform, he ran into the arena soaking in the loud cheers of the crowd including wife, Tina. Ken looked like a professional wrestler as he body slammed and slingshot before capping the routine with a pin to earn the next clue. Opening it, Ken and Tina discovered they were headed to the Pit Stop at el Mirador del Monticulo, a hillside park overlooking the city.

While Ken made the routine look easy, it proved more difficult for other racers. Mark’s feet got tangled in the ropes as he fumbled reentering the ring forcing him to return to the practice area. Southern belle Marisa also missed a crucial move allowing Dallas who arrived at the Roadblock in fourth to climb up to second place when he completed the routine flawlessly as his mother cheered him on.

Showing up at the arena in last place, Christy waited ringside while Kelly learned the moves in the practice area. Waiting for Ty to wrestle, Aja walked up to Christy and told her that Starr asked them to U-turn Kelly & Christy. An upset Christy thanked Aja for telling her this.

The altitude and physicality of the task took its toll on Mark who failed to complete the routine a second time and needed oxygen in order to continue. Now having fallen down to seventh place ahead of only Terence & Sarah and Kelly & Christy, Mark took one more shot at the routine and finally earned his clue. In the taxi, he quipped, “I am a luchadore.”
