Match Time: 13:42

Notes: Nosferatu is back! He's still only Nosferatu, probably shouldn't need an exclamation mark. Referee is Bestia Negra.
1: Crowd is loud for the rudos. Pairs are Sensei/Nosferatu, Bronco/Molotov, Nitro/Bala. Pretty big size advantage for the rudos, thought he técnicos get the better of every matchup. Bronco can't help but bite Molotov's hands. Must've had a sugar cube. Bala gets thru his exchange fine, then follows with an over the top tope, quite nice. Senseilock on Bronco to take care of him, Molotov rolls up Nosferatu for the other.
2: Sensei bests Nosferatu with his martial arts kicks. Nosferatu retreats after a spinning kick to the face. Molotov armdrags Bronco one way, headscissors him out the other way. Nitro puts a stop to this by charging Molotov during his dive pose, and laying out the técnicos. Double a backdrop with Nosferatu for Molotov. Bronco slams Molotov and Nosferatu helps hold him for Nitro's middle rope low blow elbow drop. Bala gets back elbows and a Bronco shoulderblock. Nitro karate chops Sensei and yells at the crowd. Corner charges for him. Everyone kicks or dropkicks Molotov at once in a nice bit. Nosferatu is yelling a lot. Bronco top rope splash on Molotov to finish him, rudos posing on top a bit after the fact.
3: Rudos still in control for a while. Two man tapatía sites up a Nitro dropkick. They might have been fine with just the tapatía. Sensei held over the ropes for a dropkick to the floor. Molotov is tossed to Bronco, who walks over the ropes and feeds himself into a bodyscissors to the floor. Uh huh. Flying armdrags by the other two. They tease dives, but it's Molotov coming back in who does his top con giro on Bronco, as the other two jut fake it. Rudos back in, Nosferatu kicks Sensei out, and then safely takes a Nitro toss of Bala and turns it into a powerbomb. Nitro reverses Sensei kick into a fisherman’s suplex, and hat's it.

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 13:40
Rating: bleh
Notes: Entrances. Atlantis & Dragon Rojo enter together and seem to be friends as normal. Ref is Rodolfo.
1: Pairs are the Forjando un Idolo finalists, Mascara/Dragon (crowd actually chanting for Mascara!), and Atlantis/Shocker. Atlantis all fired up and knocking down Shocker with slaps, but Shocker ducks one and Atlantis collides with Dragon Rojo a couple times on the rudo side, then Shocker kicks Dragon Rojo into a dropkick on his partner. Uh oh. Atlantis goes out on the dropkick and Shocker big boots Dragon Rojo down. Pólvora tries chopping, but Shocker out chops him. Or out ducks him. Shocker turns a chop into a cruz nipona to finish him. Angel de Oro quebradas Dragon Rojo from the other, and Atlantis runs from Mascara. Atlantis offers a handshake, then gives the camera a big thumbs up! Meanwhile, Shocker won't let go of his hold until Rodolfo finally puts a five count on, and even then it's on until four. Not sure who's the técnico here.
2: Pólvora all over Shocker with kicks and chops, but Shocker turns it around and gives him the big hiptoss. Pólvora screams and rolls out. Oro & Dragon Rojo in. Dragon gets in one chop before calling Atlantis for help. Angel is able to take care of both of them, Dragon Rojo setting him up for a headscissors on Atlantis , and then a 'rana on himself. Angel calls Pólvora in, and Pólvora decides to walk off. Pólvora finally comes in, but demands Mascara. Why? I don't know. But he's wanted it for a while, so he gets him. Pose off, Mascara removing his shirt for it. Off the ropes avoidance ends with Dragon Rojo getting in a cheap kick from the apron. Máscara kicks him as he comes thru, kind of gets lost with Pólvora, then runs into a Atlantis quebrada. Rudos swarm the técnicos for a brawling beatdown. Dragon Rojo knocks Angel de Oro around the ring and up the ramp, then tosses him back into the ring. Atlantis holds Shocker for Pólvora to taunt and occasionally hit. Low blow dropkick for him too. Dragon Rojo puts on a half crab – on the bad leg! - to finish. Rodolfo belatedly decides Shocker is the captain and ends the fall.
3: Angel de Oro is nicely slingshot into a Pólvora dropkick. Triple boot for Shocker. Dragon Rojo unties Mascara's mask, but Máscara makes a kick heavy comeback. Atlantis is able to stop him, but takes a middle rope headscissors and superkick of his own. Mascara tries a dives, but Atlantis moves, and Mascara is stuck chasing him around. Shocker flips Angel de Oro out of a corner flip, then clotheslines both remaining rudos. Shocker boots Angel de Oro into a 'rana on Dragon Rojo and locks a reinera on Pólvora, but Atlantis rushes back into break them both up. Mascara planchas Atlantis and goes for the campana, but Atlantis squirms away. Shocker and Angel de Oro kick out Dragon Rojo and Pólvora, and Mascara rolling dropkicks out Atlantis. Shocker runs into a backdrop pescado onto Atlantis. Pólvora and Dragon Rojo back in, but everyone is kinda of wandering around and getting repositioned. Técnicos with casadoras right into their holds – and that does it.

técnicos
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:55
Rating: ok
Notes: Mascara Dorada has his tenth or eleventh theme song variation of the summer. More are coming. Mr. Aguila is now using Black Eyed Peas to cement his rudo status. Volador is wearing a Super Sky Team ski mask for no particular reason. Referee is Terror Chino.
1: After everyone finally is ready to start, Mr. Aguila starts with Rush, while yelling at Porky on the apron. Rush gets the best of their exchange, and Aguila bails before Rush is really ready for them to be done. Crowd chants for Porky as he faces Psicosis. Going on all fours ends badly for Psicosis. Porky belly bumps Psicosis out, and Dorada breezes hi on a Asai moonsault. Not a lto of contact. Other four all in, Porky back suplexes Volador (!!) and Rush wheel kicks Aguila (!). Aguila runs off but Porky gets his pin and Volador is the captain.
2: Psicosis spins Dorada with a shoulderblock, but Dorada comes back with a headscissors to send him out. Fireman's escape sort of armdrag or headscissors to send Volador out. Couldn't really tell. Porky in, but Volador grabs him in the testicular claw. Porky comes back with belly bumps for Psicosis and Volador, a headlock/headscissors takeover, double clothesline, and big splash. Rush and Aguila in. Aguila's chops don't knock Rush over. Aguila flipping run, but Rush dropkicks and kicks him down on the crowd. Rush threatens the rudo corner while he's at it. Chop for Aguila. Whip, reversed, Rush ducks a clothesline, ducks a clothesline, lands the Running elbow. Usual booing going on. Rush flips Aguila to the apron, but Aguila pulls him down by the hair. Aguila waits for Rush to get up, and so Rush has plenty of time to superkick him. Rush rope con giro almost totally overshoots Aguila – dive's aren't much on target in this match. Dorada charges the rudos, Psicosis flips him to the apron, Dorada knocks him back and climbs up, Volador joins him up up top, and pulls him into an off the top rope 'rana. That's one pin. Porky runs into a Psicosis' backdrop, and he goes up to add the po rope senton for the other pin.
3: Beatdown. Dorada's backup the ramp, and backdropped into the ring. Rush takes a catapult guillotine legdrop from Aguila. Aguila grabs his head afterwords; he's been doing that for most of this fall. Volador and Psicosis slap around Porky in the meantime. Porky starts the comeback, splashing Aguila when he drops down too soon. Psicosis kicks Porky out, Rush missile dropkicks Psicosis, Volador superkicks Rush, Dorada gets Volador with the floating headscissors. Dorada leaps to the apron for a dive, but Volador pulls him off. Psicosis tells someone to bring it on – oh, it's Porky. Slaps don't work. Sunset flip is a poor idea, but Psicosis realizes and moves out of the way in time. Porky looks at Psicosis confused, and Volador sneaks in for the backcracker. Dorada back in with a springboard dropkick on them both. Aguila, and Dorada's springboard inverted tope meets dropkick. Rush dropkicks Aguila and stomps. Off the ropes, Aguila ducks a clothesline for an inside cradle, one two three. Three? Three!
Everyone seems a bit surprised that actually worked
