Rating: very long, boring
Notes: Only two entrance songs per team very much handicaps Escorpion. There is not many people here. Gallo has his belt. Dancing to Gregorian chants! Misterioso sneaks around to clothesline Sangre from behind, and he and Pólvora stomp their former friend. Samurai & Loco are referees, and they get the rudos to back off before the match starts.

1: Rudos back off, then go right after Sangre again. He's rammed back first into the ringpost on the outside. Everyone else kind of stands around and watches. Rudos talk amongst themselves. Sagrado checks on Sangre. Pólvora screws with Sangre some more, shoving him off the apron. Finally, after a couple minutes, Pólvora and Gallo might start the match. No, Sangre wants in to get the rudos again. Hey, Gallo, why can't you just tag him so this can stop? Gallo looks around a bit, and then finally tags. Pólvora offers a handshake to Sangre, which is of course just a setup for Misterioso attack from behind. They quickly dump Sangre out of the ring. Escorpion wants to included and calls anyone else to come in to face him. I have no idea what the announcers are talking about, but it's not this match. Okay, Escorpion and Gallo, and Gallo faking Escorpion out on handshake. Escorpion feels bad, so Pólvora gives him a hug. Finally, Pólvora and Gallo really start, with exchange of arm holds. This goes almost nowhere before Pólvora decides to leave. Escorpion and Sagrado. As JCR compares to the guys he often compares Escorpion to, Sagrado gets in a loud swing kick. Misterioso in, rebounds armdrag sends him out. Pólvora gets Sagrado with a dropkick, Sangre gets him with a top rope plancha, but the rudos pull him out when he tries running the ropes. Escorpion spots him and the rudos turn on the heat. Brawling around ringside. Lots of room to do it. Rudos come together in the ring with Sangre. Sangre opened up for a questionably low kick. Gallo brought in a dropkicked in the knee. Rudos in no hurry to finish this fall, which gives a clear hint about where this match is going. Corner charges for Sagrado, including Misterioso slapping Sagrado in the nose. Sangre tries to get in. He wants the rudos to back off, but that isn’t happening. He actually manages a 50/50 slap exchange with Misterioso before everyone else decides to get involved. Sangre's whipped around, and Misterioso finishes him. Rudos run off the rest. Is anyone aware Gallo is the captain? No, no, they're not.

Rudos continue to beat up on Sangre. Sagrado sneaks in to chop them, but gets booted as they go to break.

2: Misterioso kicks a chair that happens to have Sanger's leg inside it, though he's barely even hitting the chair. It's not convincing. After battling Sagrado, Pólvora wanders over and adds his kicks, but slips on some drinks and almost pratfalls. General beatdown for a while, Sangre sidesteps a Misterioso corner charge and starts the comeback from there. Sagrado sets up Pólvora for Sangre’s low blow dropkick. Gallo and Sagrado clean up the other rudos, and hold Misterioso down for a low blow dropkick. One two three. Was sure this was going two falls after how long that first one went.

Sangre and Misterioso fight each other into the crowd, and Sangre slapping Misterioso in the tenth row is the most existing part of this match. That, and the crowd parting for Sangre to drop Misterioso on the front row seat.

3: Another slow paced start. Gallo tries a crucifix escape headscissors, needs to continue to work on that. More cheap shots on Sangre that slow the match down. Pólvora and Sangre are slow on purpose, and then slows when they’re not sure which guy is going to do something next. Sangre takes the monkey flip, still lands a wheel kick. Escorpion takes a monkey flip to the apron, slipping off on his own. Misterioso is no hurry to beat up Sangre. Lot of posing, though at least the other rudos get in stomps in the meantime. Sangre ends up belly to belly suplexing Misterioso on the ramp, but things do not pick up from there. Gallo & Sagrado team up section features a big clip. Stereo topes on Escorpion and Pólvora look good. There are occasionally things that look good in this match, but they’re surrounded by long bits of nothing. Misterioso powerslams Sangre in the center of the ring, then feeds himself into a small package for the loss.

Match 2: Felino & Rey Bucanero vs Máscara Dorada & Máximo

Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 11:04
Rating: the skits are better than the wrestling
Notes: Zacarias is with Peste Negra. He's got a different pan. Bucanero rushes Máximo on the ramp. Zacarias smacks Máximo with the pan as the women retreat. Máximo tries to get that parrot, but Bucanero tackles him.

1: Short brawling fall. Máximo chases after Zacarias a lot, but Bucanero always holds him back, and Zacarias gets both técnicos with pan shots. That pin is dented. Felino tries to beat Dorada with the most elementary cradles he can think of. Zacarias takes out Dorada with a sliding low blow headbutt, then retreats to his own corner. Rudos get busy yelling at the crowd, and misses Máximo getting hold of Zacarias. Rudos recover to corner Máximo, but things fall apart from there. Técnicos easily take the fall.

Dorada grabs Zacarias for a Máximo kiss, opening his mouth, and his real mouth underneath. Zacarias has pierced tongue! Which Máximo kisses! I'm very disturbed by all of this.

2: Mascara Dorada goes thru all the rudos, has the biggest problem with Zacarias (who breaks his pan over Dorada's head, but gets thrown out into Bucanero.) Máximo quickly sends Felino out with a spinning armdrag. Bucanero fights Máximo while worried about the kiss that he knows is coming. Zacarias distracts Loco, Bucanero pulls one Maximo's leg in between his own, and jumps up and down as if he's just been grievously fouled. Loco Estrada notices, calls the DQ. Fantastic acting.

3: Bucanero holds Máximo over the ropes, Felino helpfully gives him a running headbutts, then falls down to the mat in pain. Maybe rethink that strategy next time. Rudos decide to brawl, in no hurry. Bucanero tries to use Máximo as weapon to kiss a fan, who resists (and turns red!) but still gets slightly kissed. Técnicos start the comeback by usually missing a double clothesline. Dorada lands a springboard plancha and boosted dropkick, but Felino's up there to chase Dorada out before he can get back to his feet. Dorada lands the double butt bump on Felino away, and a running plancha on Bucanero. Felino and Dorada have a misstep, then Dorada dropkicks Felino out. Dorada shouldn’t bother, but he does – tope, not really caught by Felino. Loco watches those two, Bucanero tries to foul Máximo, Máximo blocks it, spins him, gooses him, and inside cradles Bucanero. No ref to count, still. Máximo turns around to argue with Loco Estrada and kisses him, and Bucanero sneaks in an inside cradle of his own. Loco recovers one two NO. Zacarias walks thru the ring for no reason. Loco tells him to get out. Meanwhile, Rey's half hearted foul kick is deflected again, and Máximo misses him. Loco turns around to see, Máximo points him to Zacarias, Loco has a hard time looking at the parrot, and then runs back to see Máximo simulating the same foul. Máximo doesn’t hop, just has the leg between his feet, and this is enough for Loco Estrada to tell he's faking it. Loco waves it off. Bucanero tries a clothesline, Máximo ducks, Bucanero stops short of Loco and grabs him from behind, Máximo grabs Rey, they all move around line up together, Zacarias slides thru all their legs and foul kicks Máximo. Bucanero covers, one two foot on the rope for good measure, three. Total rudo. I guess Dorada just didn't count anymore.

Peste Negra dance around to celebrate their win. There's a lot more people when they're all milling around the ring after the match.
