Announcers are JCR, Rey Bucanero and Dragon Rojo. JCC is busy with the Pan Am Games, I believe.

Match Time: 8:08
Rating: good
Notes: Toscano is really into his own entrance. Máximo likes talking to the camera on the way to ring. Monito is with him. Blue Panther is very briefly caught in the video camera cord walking to the ramp. Rudos enter together, Zach dancing on the way and Rey Escorpion dancing too. Bleu Panther walks up to confront Negro, but Felino has the orange barrel and throws it at Panther.
1: Máximo rushes to save Panther. Toscano is apparently hanging out with the fans and slow to realize what's going on, and is easy picking there. Felino pops him with the barrel in the ring, which would seem to be a DQ, but the referee lets it go. Brawling beatdown. Toscano lunges for Zacarias, but Rey Escorpion stops him and Zach stomps all over Toscano. Rudos hold Panther for Negro Casas to punch and kick. Dragon Rojo has no problem with Rey Escorpion teaming with Peste Negra here – he's a rudo, they're rudos, of course they're united to fight técnicos. Panther lifted up for a Panther springboard dropkick, and Negro puts on a mounted wristlock. Felino wanders around to find Toscano, and Rey Escorpion engages Máximo on the apron. Punch is blocked, and Máximo stuns Rey Escorpion with a kiss. Toscano pulls Felino out of the ring, leaving Negro alone. Negro stands Panther up, Panther surprises him with the fujiwara, Negro crawls for the ropes but gives up before he gets there. Panther won't let go of the hold, though, until Tigre Hispano starts to put a five count on them. They have an argument about it, and about Panther kicking Negro out of th ring. Panther almost goes after Tigre Hispano, but Toscano pulls him back. Máximo talks Tigre Hispano out of the DQ, but Panther goes right out of the ring after Negro. Head into the post, slap around ringside. Brawl is going with all six guys, Máximo slamming Rey Escorpión on the ramp while the Casas brothers bumble around ringside.
2: With everyone else fighting on the floor, Máximo and Rey Escorpión are left in – wait, no, Rey Escorpion has to leave to gawk at the ring girl. Técnicos stand in the ring waiting for any rudo to get in. Dragon Rojo is quizzed on past kisses he's received, decides he can't remember them to talk about them here. Técnicos clothesline Felino in the corner, then hold him down for Máximo's kiss. Rey Escorpion makes the save in time, yells at Panther, and gets slapped hard in the chest. Everyone clears out, and we're finally left with Toscano and Felino left in. Toscano does a posing routine, which gets him armpitted. Toscano stop sign to take off his pants. This takes a while, Felino finally gives up and kicks him. Toscano flipped to the apron, armpit revenge, and flying armdrag sends Felino out. Toscano ducks a Escorpion clothesline and headscissors him. Rey Escorpion sneaks in a springboard dropkick – barely, Dragon Rojo reacting to the nearly blown spot – that sends Toscano out, but Máximo comes in to face him. Rey Escorpión should probably stop trying to pull down Máximo's strap, it just gets him slapped a lot. Corner whip, Rey Escorpion misses his corner charge, double springboard headscissors sends Rey Escorpion cross ring. Block everything, kiss, and Escorpion tumbles out of the ring. Negro lights up Máximo with kicks, but panther is in for him. Crowd seems more into this. Chest slap fight, Negro gets in a kick, headlock, shot off, Panther hiptoss is blocked and Negro kicks clothesline. Kicks ends him out, and Felino out after him with a corner springboard tope con giro. Negro slaps Máximo while mocking him. Whip, waved by, back with – a Máximo armdrag. Kick block spot, Máximo off the ropes, running butt bump sends Negro out. Máximo tease a tope, slips out the apron, plancha – misses everything, Negro ducks under! Toscano misses a dropkick on Rey Escorpion, still manages to kick Rey Escorpion into a crazy hamstring kick, bounce off the ropes, and then a huge salida de bandera out of the ring. Toscano plancha follows. Negro and Felino back in, evasion, Negro clothesline, running kick misses, Felno slips out of inside cradle, kick, double wristlock – reversed around into a Felino cruz nipona! Felino's done. Negro in, spinning Panther around foul kicking him blatantly. That's the end of that, though Negro gets in a couple more shots.

Notes: I always had to get used to this show having actual entrances. Rudos enter together. Ref is Tirantes. They turn off all the lights and put a spot light on Averno for when he's announced as captain. So weird! At least they're not wrestling that way? Same thing for Sombra.
1: Averno annoys Dorada with his posing, then pulls on Dorada's mask for snap mares. Sombra angrily storms the ring, but Averno gets Tirantes to back them off. Tirantes does warn Averno. Dorada tosses Averno around with armdrag and snap mares him, then pulls of a headscissors from the mat. Zero trips, standoff, Dorada rolling to his feet much to Avernos' annoyance. Quick pinfalls for Mephisto and Garza, but Mephisto kicks Dorada hard during the standoff. Crank over the ropes. Whip, reversed, Mephisto slides out. Garza stares at hims, slides out after him - and Ephesto lands the tope! Didn't see it coming this time. Sombra leaps in with a plancha on Mephisto, but Averno pulls him down by the mask for the outside. Dorada in a kicked. Double Devil Wings, one two three.
2: Rudos take care of the the técnicos. Choking and kicking outside. Ephesto chokes Garza so long that Garza should be legally dead. Averno goes after Sombra's mask. Guest announcers debate which rudo group is the best. Mephisto goes after Dorada's mask while they're at it. Mephisto gives Dorada a quebradora con giro on the ramp and goes after his mask again. Garza is able to take down Averno and pound him with punches, but Tirantes pull him off by his hair. Garza grabs Tirantes, but Averno testicular claws him from behind. Dorada takes a big monkey flip on the ramp, his mask flying off in the process, but Tirantes appears to miss it all. Averno and Mephisto stand on Sombra and pose. Garza gets Dorada his mask back and stands up to the rudos, though he doesn't actually fight him. Dorada takes a big backdrop into the ring, Averno pin him with one knee, one two Garza pulls Tirantes away. Tirantes is totally baffled by that action, but no DQ. Triple boot for Dorada. Rudos do their triple role pose spot, but Ephesto and Averno get tripped up and pulled out. Mephisto is totally unaware until he poses, then steps into a Dorada springboard sunset flip. Dorada rolls him back to his feet for a double dropkick by the other técnicos. Rudos all out the same side – Brillo Dorada onto Mephisto. Ephesto and Averno back in, both dropped in the center of the ring, both do springboard flips into moonsaults, one two very slow three. Garza and Sombra confront Tirantes, who claps for them.
Técnicos keep going after the rudos, including a Dorada headscissors on Mephisto on the floor.
3: Mascara Dorada dumps Mephisto in front to the stage, runs up the stairs, and comes off the stage with a plancha. Dorada runs back in the ring to pose. Rudos are not impressed. Sombra takes off his shirt to face Averno, but somehow we end up with Dorada & Mephisto in after a crowd shot. Mephisto quickly slides out. Dorada doesn't follow. Ephesto in with Sombra instead. Headlock, shot off, Sombra back with a charging shoulderblock. Sombra off the ropes, waved by, up and over armdrag sends Ephesto out. Sombra cuts off by a double boot from the other rudos. Sombra flip to his – knees – and gets Averno with a boost headscissors. Ripe bounce headscissors on Mephisto to send him out, flipping armdrag sends Averno out. Sombra slide out after Averno, but Averno runs and begs off in the aisle, grabbing fans for support. Dorada and Ephesto back in, Ephesto shoulders blocks Dorada down. Corner whip, reversed, Dorada charges in, Ephesto flips him up, Dorada down with a headscissors. Out goes Ephesto. Mephisto manages the flapjack and kick on Dorada again, asking the fans if they'd like a normal. Snap mare, Mephisto grabs for the mask, but Garza yells at him. Garza is really playing the veteran técnico leader here. He's not going to let the rudos screw with these kids. Mephisto corner whip, corner charge misses, Dorada spinning bit on the middle rope to a headscissors sends Mephisto out. Averno in, dropkick misses, Dorada flipped high in the air to the apron, slaps goes his way, springboard flip headscissors and gout goes Averno. Dorada poses in the center of the ring. Garza flips in, but Ephesto shoves him straight out before Garza can even get set. Ephesto celebrates, Garza shoulders him in the midsection and rolls in over him. Whip, flip over the back, stop sign. Ephesto falls down, so Garza waits for him to get back off before taking off his pants. Ephesto reaches for the pants and gets kicked. Averno & Mephisto in, double stop sing for them, shirt up – and rudos kick him down. Rudos yell at the fans and Sombra a bit. Garza up, leapfrogging both, and tossed into an armdrag on Mephisto. Averno knocks him down and stomps Garza into the mat. Whip, Garza slides out, Averno thinks about it before chasing, Garza slides back in, Averno crawls in, Garza cuts him of with a kick. Garza up top – moonsault to the floor. Mephisto charges Sombra, misses, and takes a fireman’s drop. Sombra up top – rope flip moonsault connects. Sombra half covers, to give more room for Ephesto to missile dropkick him. Dorada tries to come in with a springboard splash on Ephesto, but the rudo moves out of the way just in time. Rudos cover Dorada, one Sombra breaks it up. Técnicos miss dropkick on the rudos, rudos powerbombs with feet on the ropes one two NO. Garza rushes in to clothesline them both. Averno clothesline caught, Garza slams him in the center of the ring, quebrada meets knees, and all the rudos cover one two THREE. Fast count there, totally.
JCR briefly thinks Garza is captain, then catches himself and notes it's Sombra. Missile dropkick by Sombra knocks Averno and Ephesto out, Mephisto kicks Sombra and Dorada step in to face him. Springboard plancha connects, one two NO. Much slower counter. Mephisto up, Dorada Toyota roll one...two …....... three.
Ephesto knocks Dorada down and throws Sombra in the corner. Corner whip, Ephesto corner charge lead to a slow knee bump to the floor. Sombra leaps to the top rope – big moonsault to the floor, landing on his feet. Dorada and Averno left in, Dorada waved by, Toyota roll doesn't quite work, Averno turning blocking it - or maybe the move just failed. Tirantes counts one, stops to tell Mephisto to get off the apron (which would make more sense if Dorada was the one making the pinfall), then goes cross ring to tell Garza the same thing. Averno lets go of his pin, , Dorada charges him, Averno lets him run by, Mephisto grabs Dorada’s mask off, and Averno inside cradles Dorada while covering his face. One two three.
Both Sombra and Garza tries to stop Tirantes from making the count, but got there too late. Averno crows about the win, Sombra challenges him for next week.
Replays, and back live for Averno to surprise kicks Sombra. Sombra manages a headscissors, but Averno fouls him and stomps. Garza is left to stand and complain. Interestingly, they say they'll have the rematch next week.
