5) Damián 666 b X-Fly, Supreme, Charly Manson, Halloween [hardcore]
6) El Hijo Del Santo, Latin ♥, Marco Corleone b Blue Demon Jr., el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hijo del Lizmark
This reads like it was the Perro Aguayo show. It’s what you should suspect here, but it seemed that way more than usual.
In the fourth match, Nova & Oriental worked as rudos, and Groon suffered a possible broken ankle. Hijo de Rey picked up the win with a top rope Spanish fly over Nova. The rudos beat up Rey after the match (Groon being strechered out.) After they left, Misterio started to talk, only to be interrupted by the Perros. They welcomed Misterio to the promotion by putting him thru a table.
Supreme was the surprise wrestler in the hardcore match. Probably best that they kept it a surprise. It was worked elimination rules, though the eliminations weren’t so clear live. Supreme pinned X-Fly, and Charly and Halloween took each other out (and were ruled unable to continue) at some point. Perro Jr. made his second appearance by hitting Supreme with a chair, setting up Damian’s win.
Main event pushed Demon/Santo, Lizmark/Marco, and Perro/Latin. Rudos took the first, tecnicos the second. In the third, Latin took out Demon with a dive and Marco did the same with Lizmark. Perro pulled Santo’s mask and pinned him, but Tirantes was distracted. As Perro angrily tried to get his attention, Santo got the camel clutch. According to Estrellas del Ring, Perro refused to give up, but just fell unconscious and Tirantes stopped the match.
After the match, the Perros gave Latin Lover a ten second offer to join their group or get beat up. Latin got a chair, clonked Perro on the head with it, and Perro bled a ton.
No next show was advertised. Vivalalucha does not currently list the main event of this show as part of the PPV, but the rest of the card is on there.
In the undercard, Aguila over TJP sounds like the best match of the night (though the main event was definitely the most over match of the night.) Exotico Diva Salvaje replaced Estrellita, who really hasn’t been on an advertised Perros del Mal card since her debut six weeks ago (so hopefully they’ll stop advertising her already; women’s matches are probably not long for this promotion.) Turbo retained his lightweight title over Black Thunder.
Edit: forget Black Terry Jr.’s pictures.

Supreme went to the promotion where the $ guy is the same dude who had a hand in such successes as XPW and WSX? Can’t say I’m surprised b/c where else do you see this talented individual working otherwise?
Looks like a show with some fun stuff. If it’s cleared in my area I’ll be ordering it for sure.
Ok, so it’s out in the open, here’s the funny part about Supreme.
First, in the name of being open and honest, yes, Supreme has now been a friend of mine for over 10 years.
However, it was not me, nor Ruben Zamora, who even thought of Supreme for this show.
As the readers here know, originally Dreamer was booked for the show. Then Sabu (who had to be pulled due to XLAW having his work visa). Then we presented Perros with a few different options and they came back with “What about Supreme?” who was not even one of our options.
Look, as one of the guys behind XPW, even I am shocked at how well known and “over” XPW is in Mexico to this day. Far more so than in the US.
They wanted Supreme, they got Supreme.
And, that match seemed to deliver exactly what they wanted.
It was definitely a unique dynamic, in essence co-booking certain matches. But, and this isn’t just hype, I think that when all is said and done, and the segments the live crowd did not see and the matches that were not even from the PDM taping yesterday are added, it will certainly provide a fun and entertaining 2 hours.
There will be a 10-12 minute preview available online in a few weeks.
@Kevin K: What is the price of the PPV?
$19.99, or a few cents less. It may vary slightly from provider to provider, but the SRP is right under $20.
