5) Ohara b Demus 3:16, Trauma I, Heddi Karoui, Brazo de Oro, Skándalo, Nitro, Loco Max, Brazo de Platino, Durango Kid
first appearance of Durango Kid in quite some time. Demus (who might have been supposed to wrestle Mascarita) Dorada on this show helped Ohara win, so they split the prizes. Hooray friendship!
6) El Fantasma, Magnus, Tajiri b Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
Tajiri beat the rudo for the night Sangre Azteca
7) Último Dragón b Black Tiger V [mask]
Demus & Ohara helped out Black Tiger, so Brazo de Oro & Brazo de Platino helped Ultimo Dragon. Tiger pinned Dragon for the win in the third fall, but Dragon happened to have a foot on the rope and the comisssioner ordered a restart. Referee (Maya) got taken out, a second referee appeared, Black Tiger V looked like he was going to win again, but Ultimo Dragon spit red mist for the win. Black Tiger V is (for this night) Tatsujito Takaiama Tatsuhito Takaiwa, who had previously lost this mask to Tiger Mask V in Japan.

Actually Cubs, it’s Tatsuhito Takaiwa. Former New Japan IWGP Jr champion
BTW, why won’t you turn the Clown technico?
@KDB_31: I’m not really sure what they are, but they seem to be more rudos who are wrestling other rudos than actual tecnicos. You’re right, though, I probably should just change them already.
@thecubsfan: DUDE! Your just asking for it now with the Tatsuhito Takaiwa mistake! :)
Is the Histeria Jr who’s wrestling in the second match here the same Histeria Jr who managed to main-event a CMLL card at Arena Africon back in October? ( http://www.thecubsfan.com/cmll/?p=9566 ) – If so, how does he fit into the Histeria lineage (if anywhere)?
@Adam: Appears to be the same one. I believe he’s Histeria II’s son; he’s shown up on shows with him and CMLL spot shows.
I think this is actually the third time he has lost the mask, as he lost it in New Japan, on an indy show, and now in Mexico.
Good ol’ Takaiwa.
@ thecubsfan: They are aligned with Wagner, how much more tecnico can you get? LOL!
@KDB_31: I went back and looked, and they’ve been facing rudos on TV since 08/2009. So now they’ll be a tecnico since then.
@thecubsfan: I see now, cool.
