rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 9:59
Rating: Good.
Notes:
1: Stuka and Nosferatu start out, Stuka managing to drop Nosferatu quick, then suplex his partner on top. That's impressive. After a bit of standing for the crowd, Euforia knocks him down with a big boot. Fabian – who looks so different with the closed back mask and long trunks – flattens him with a plancha. Euforia saves him by, and Stuka helps him into a rebound off the ropes into a headscissors on Euforia. Fabian sets up in the corner, and flips his partner to the apron. Stuka climbs up to the ropes there, and does the twisting deadman's plancha to the floor. Nosferatu & Fabian have some weird arm wrapped forward rolls sequence, which looks more slow and odd that anything. Fabian ends up crossing Nosferatu's arms (while Nosferatu is behind him) and pulling it over his shoulder for a strange submission. Flash quebradas Virus, and that's the fall.
2: Fabian dances for Euforia, who is more stunned than anything. Fabian of the ropes, over, dance move, of the ropes, Euforia finally cuts him down with a back elbow. Lots of stomps and one scream. Euforia taunts Stuka into coming in, then has him forced out. Fabian charges, Euforia clothesline misses, and Fabian sends him with with a headscissors. Nosferatu whiffs, and Fabian s him with a springboard plancha. Fabian off the ropes, Nosferatu head down too soon, Fabian kicks it and kicks him out. Virus misses his clothesline, Fabian does a springboard flip to avoid nothing really, armdrags, a spinning backbreaker. To complete the run. Oh, Fabian's got to fake dive pose, and dance too. Flash in now, Euforia back in to face him. Flash off the ropes, over, flipping run, and flipped by a clothesline. Slapped not the corner. Corner whip, Flash kips up and out, Flash rolls away, ten turns back to charge. Euforia easily tosses him to the apron, but Flash fights him off and comes back in with a spinning headscissors. Virus slaps Flash down when he's celebrating. Stuka protests, not that it helps. Flash ends up on the apron again, and comes back in wit a top rope armdrags. Over the back armdrags sends Virus out, but Flash isn't following. Stuka waits for someone to come into face him, and Virus decided to come back it. Virus takes his time, then gets into a chest slap battle. Infernales jump Stuka as he's got his back to them. Virus hammers Stuka while his partners clean the tecnicos off the apron. Stuka is clipped and dropkicked. Nosferatu sets him in the Tree of Woe, and everyone kicks him a bit. Virus takes him back down. Rudos don't seem to have an actual plan at the moment. Whip, Nosferatu almost over rotates him on a flapjack, and rudos hang him upside down for Virus' running teeter totter dropkick. One two three.
3: Rudos still in control. Fabian's whipped into a spinebuster, and a double elbow drop by the Infernales. Flash held on the ropes and slapped a bit. Whip, double back elbow to Flash, he's picked up, and whipped into a Virus inverted atomic drop. Stuka is hit by everyone until he falls down. Triple boot. Fabian back in. Whip, Infernales trip Fabian onto the middle rope. Virus backs up, charges, then slows down to look at Stuka, who comes off the rope with a plancha. Stuka covers, and it's only then that the Infernales try to attack – a double elbow drop gets their partner. Rudo manage to move before Flash can add a springboard splash, and the rudos clear the ring of the tecnicos. Flash is held on the apron, and Flash knocks him to the floor with a dropkick. Fabian misses a dropkick on the Infernales, who spinebuster and grab him in to armbars as Virus ties up the legs. Does he give? Yep. Not the captain though, Stuka is back in. Whip, double flapjack, triple Infernal stretch, and that's the match. Rather dominant there.

rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 6:00
Rating: totally rushed
Notes:
1: UG rooting section out strong. Shocker and Atlantis to start. Lockup, Shocker headlock, shot off, kicked in the back by UG. Not wasting time, because they don't have much of it. Rudos storm the ring and take down the beatdown. I was about to note how Valiente looks like a completely person now a days, but then I realized I was looking at Sagrado. Video quality doesn't quite convert well to my TV sometimes. Normal 3 on 3 brawling beatdown, and UG has to stop Shocker from behind sent out when he realizes he's the last in. Corner clothesline, corner clothesline, senton de la muerte. Sagrado's turn. Corner whip, Corner back elbow, corner chop, and held down for another headstand sit. Valiente in, and taking a backdrop. He tries to do a big clip on there and, it looked weird. Misterioso figure four! Valiente holds out, then gives up. I'd enjoy it if Misterioso was using that regularly. Meanwhile, Atlantis & UG put Sagrado in a double tapatía, and that's our fall. Rudos are slow giving up either submission.
2: Rudos getting beat up? Uh, did they cut out the comeback again? Apparently so. Tecnicos also accidentally clear out all the rudos, so there's no one left for them to beat. Everyone hands beats to their corner as Misterioso come in to beat Valiente. It's purple on purple violence! Misterioso corner whip, Valiente dodges out of the way of the charge, Misterioso spears the post, Valiente spears him with a tope. All other four in, Sagrado quickly slams Atlantis and goes for the moonsault, Atlantis scooting over the whole time, because you don't want to be in the wrong spot for a Sagrado moonsault. Meanwhile, UG misses a dropkick, and gets pulled in to the hammerlock headscissors cradle. One two three. ONE MINUTE. I know about how long the match goes, because the time comes up ever time I pause it, and I was sure this must've been a two fall match when I saw the time. So wrong.
3: Shocker and UG face off. UG fakes a punch and kicks Shocker. Kick. Corner whip, charge, no one home, UG takes high speed knee bump to the floor almost, taking out the camera. Shocker just opts to fake the dive instead of doing it. This match is so short, they're still giving the announcer credits. Valiente in to face UG. UG off the rope, over, clothesline. Valiente use UG to flip up, then flips off UG. Waved to the ropes, back with a spinning headscissors. Atlantis in, thinking about it, charging anyway, clothesline misses, Valiente walks up the ropes and comes down with a flying armdrags. Misterioso charges but misses Valiente n the corner. Monkey flip, Misterioso gets out of the ring, and Valiente signals to the crowd. Before he goes for it double jump – no dive? Why go all the way not to dive? Valiente hops, and Atlantis kicks him out. The other four all slowly end up in, but UG calmly kicks Sagrado out while Atlantis and Shocker are still standing there. Valiente is brought back in, corner whip, Shocker whipped behind him, Rudos charge, all gets booted away, Sagrado gets them all with a plancha, splash by one, splash by another, tecnicos try for 'ranas or headscissors, rudos knock them all down, Atlantis cradles Sagrado while Misterioso and UG put submission on the others. That's it.
