The annual Rey del Ring show, contested lately as a Royal Rumble. Full order/elimination information is up on the wiki, but pretty much all taken from The Gladiatores excellent twitter and audio broadcasts of the show. I probably could’ve used the extra hour of sleep this later this weekend, but it was really fun to follow.
Final four were Veneno, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Olimpico and Ricky Cruz, who did appear to have a pretty strong rooting section. The Guerreras Super X group interfered during the later stages of the match, but Cruz finished Veneno for the win (and the belt). After the match, Super X switched tactics and tried to recruit Cruz, but he said no.
Notable absences: Freelance, Suicida, Scorpio Jr. (who won this last year) and Hijo del Pierroth (who beat Scorpio for the title earlier this year.)
