Doing this from my head (bad idea), because I left my notebook in my car and I’m not going back out to it tonight. Should be mostly accurate. Show was announced as a ELL-MEX/FMLL crosspromtion for alphabet fans, and taped for local airing, though they didn’t do an espically great job of explaining which channel (maybe I’m too gringo to get it? Maybe they’re still working on it?)
Show was listed with times of 6:30 and 7:00, and bell was 7:45.
1) El Reo b Atomico [2-0]
Atomico, normally a heel with a slight exotico bent, worked as a face. This might have been a ‘dark’ match.
2) El Reo & Yakuza b Amenaza del Siglo & El Tigre [2-1]
No angle to explain El Reo working twice. Mascara de Jade was listed on the lineup but never appeared; maybe he was supposed to be the face in the opener. The red ring finally broke during this match, but thankfully everyone survived and they were able to put it back together.
3) SWAT Kat & Acero Dorado b El Dorado and Principe Azteca [2-1]
I believe that’s the correct name.
4) Cobarde & Shamu Jr b Principe Franky & Piloto Suicida [2-1]
Dos Caras’s absence on the tecnico side not mentioned. Post match angle involved setting up a California/Chicago, though Suicida stuck with his partner
5) La Parka & Blue Demon Jr. b Blue Panther & Universo 2000
Didn’t hear a reason for Rayo’s abscene, but it was pretty clear early that we were getting Demon as a replacment.
Next Show: Announced for 07/23, with Rey Bucanero and Tarzan Boy as the announced headliners.
Neither have the energy nor the passion to do a full recap, so I’ll probably grab some notes I made, discuss the show over on CW.com, and throw something up here after the fact.
