Match 1: Goya Kong, Luna Mágica, Marcela vs La Comandante, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei
Arena Mexico, 08/08/2010
rudas
Winner: rudas (2-1)
Match Time: 10:26
Rating: OK by women’s standards
Notes:
1: Joined in progress, with only the show open as a preview. Blanca/goy to start off is interesting for Blanca acting intimidated by Goya's size and getting in no offense against the novata. Luna/Comandante is not good, and Comandante stops Luna's run with a big side slam. Sujei runs in to get a kick, and all the rudas attack Goya. Marcela remembers she's in the match and tries to slap everyone, he's forearmed down and stomped. Nice triple submission for the fall.

2: Rudas beatdown and fooling around, including Princesa Blanca daring a guy in the front row to come in. As frequently happens, comeback comes right after the big fall graphic. Rudos all end up in the corner, and Gory's whipped into them. Poor Sujei is killed, then has to deal with a Luna Mágica submission.

3: Card girl (and now there's two for some reason), refuses to give the card to Sujei and walks out. Sujei walks after them and teases a beatdown, but no go. Goya kills Sujei with a spinning side slam. Sujei tries to suplex Goya – almost, but no. Goya manages the suplex the other way. The crowd slightly boos after Marcela headscissors Blanca round an out, which is a bit of a surprise. Luna tries to shoulderblock Comandante, fails. Comandante shoulderblocks her directly out of the ring, but is nice enough to wait for Luna to come back, and stand close enough to the rope to be hit. Missile dropkick sends Comandante out, and Luna follows with a bad tope. Remaining rudos work over Goya with kicks that don’t come close, which is saying something when it comes to Goya king. She lead them into a Marcela plancha, splash by Marcela, splash, by Marcela, splash by Marcela, wait for it, there we go, splash by Goya Kong, camera shakes wildly, one two three.

Match 2: Averno ©, Ephesto, Mephisto vs El Alebrije, Histeria, Psicosis ©
Arena Mexico, 08/08/2010
Invasors
Winner: Avernos (2-1)
Match Time: 10:50
Rating: good in parts, the parts Ephesto showed up for.
Notes: Referees are Tirantes and Rodlofo Ruiz. HMMM!
1: Invaders are already beating up Avernos as they join. Mephisto and Averno and worked on outside, and Psicosis beats up Averno inside before his partners help out. Alebrije adds his brainbuster, and tosses Cuije high in the air for a plancha. One two three.

2: Invaders still in control. Ephesto is held up for a Psicosis senton. Psicosis slingshots Mephisto into an Alebrije spinebuster, and he holds Mephisto up for dropkicks by the other two. Rudo set Averno up for a triple dropkick, Histeria gets pulled out, neither Alebrije or Psicosis does, and they both just kind of slow to a stop short for no particular reason. Averno moves on a delay and clear the ring. Mephisto got Histeria, and I don’t know where Ephesto has wandered off. Averno manages to clean the ring, thanks to the guys helpfully feeding themselves for quebradoras. Averno goes for Psicosis' mask, but Histeria returns for the save. Ephesto turns up to brawl with Alebrije in the meantime. Histeria misses a bad dropkick on Mephisto as he comes in, Mephisto slaps him down, and stands around waiting for Ephesto to bring Alebrije so they can get into the next spots. Avernos are rammed into each other, Histeria is boosted into a dropkick, Mephisto moves and kicks Histeria on his landing. Ephesto's shoulderbreaker on Alebrije does not look good, but that's no surprise. Devils' Wings goes better on Histeria. Psicosis rushes in, sees Averno ready to fight him, and rushes right back out. They run around the ring as the Avernos cover, one two Ephesto gets up?!? Ruiz stops counting, and Mephisto stops covering himself to figure out what's going on. Ephesto and Mephisto look at Averno, who's looking at Psicosis, who's hiding behind the announce desk. Tirantes asks Ruiz if the fall is over – apparently not, because next we see of the ring, Mephisto and Ephesto are climbing back on top of Alebrije for a pin. Let's say Mephisto’s pin counted the first time and call it.
Ephesto unties Alebrije’s mask to have something to do, then goes after Cuije. Mephisto tracks down Histeria ands sets him on the top rope to get at his mask. Ephesto picks up Cuije, holds him over his head and teases thrown him to the floor, but drops him safely in the ring.

3: Avernos beatdown, thought it doesn’t last long before Tirantes fakes a foul and nearly gets the call form Tirantes. Mephisto gets a lot of air on the flying sit on Histeria. Ephesto dropkicks Alebrije off the apron. Three man pump powerbomb on Psicosis, but Histeria makes the save for his friend. Ephesto shoulderblock on Psicosis, but Alebrije makes the save this time. Ephesto bodyslams Psicosis, but Tirantes counts very slowly. Avernos all freak out, and Psicosis clips Ephesto in the knee. Whip, Psicosis lifts Ephesto into an Atlantida and drops him on his front. Tirantes counts fast - one two weird pause three. Huh.
Averno and Mephisto charge Tirantes and grabs him, but turn and dropkick Histeria and Alebrije out. Psicosis charges with a double clothesline, Averno ducks and cradle Psicosis, Ruiz counts this one, one two three. Announcers discuss if that one might be a little fast. Didn't seem that way.
Still, the Invaders are sure it was fast. They hassle Rodolfo, while Avenros want answers from Tirantes. Tirantes sadly walks off as the Avernos get their hands raised. Psicosis gets the microphone and says Averno only won because his father fast counted him. Psicosis demands a mask versus mask match. Histeria gets a turn, and says Rodolfo Ruiz is not a good referee like Tirantes. Alebrije shares the same opinion. Rodolfo want to talk, but Averno gets the microphone next and challenges them to a fight in front of the fans. They all start brawling, rolling on the mat in scrums. 52MX is so interested in this, they replay the finish of the match instead.
Dance session and done.
