Notes: Referee is Edgar.
1: Dragon Lee and Namajague get the long basic opening. It does pick up near the end, with Namajague getting on Dragon Lee's back and slapping his head about, and Dragon Lee taking him over with a back suplex. Okumura and Cometa have their own shorter routine exchange. Diamante sends Euforia out with an over headscissors. Namajague cuts him off with a clothesline and holds him for Okumura's missile dropkick. Japanese celebrate, but Okumura is caught by a surprise Dragon Lee springboard headscissors. Dragon Lee sunset flips Namajague, but Okumura break sit up. Cometa planchas Okumura, Namajague fails breaking it up, but Cometa can’t hold them down. Cometa tries a 'rana on Namajague, can't get with enough and Namajague just powerbombs him for the pin. Okumura slams Dragon Lee, and Euforia add the top rope splash. Namajague gives a thumbs up to a fan.
2: Rudos hold the ring, but Euforia quickly misses a corner charge on Dragon Lee. Dragon lee charges, Euforia puts him on the top rope, Dragon Lee almost falls off, Euforia fixes it, slaps him, and walks away. Think you forget something. Sure enough, Dragon Lee headscissors Euforia. Off the ropes, big flapjack. Rudos are hanging out on the apron for whatever reason, so Euforia goes to tag in Okumura, expect Okumura ignores his hand and comes in. Oh well. Okumura dropkicks Dragon Lee out, Diamante right in with a springboard plancha. Okumura stops him with a clothesline. Tag to Namajague, off the ropes, clothesline. Corner whip, Namajague charging clothesline, out with a bulldog. Cometa in and dropkicking Namajague. Namajague (accidentally) ducks under his chop, and is free to punch and clothesline him down. Suplex! Tag to Euforia to chop around Cometa. Whip, reversed, Cometa quebradora. And a second! Japanese in and sending Cometa out, Dragon Lee jumps on them both and gets tossed into an armdrag on Okumura. Dragon Lee tries to shoulderblock Namajague, but Namajague knocks him out of the ring. Diamante springboard rolling in and grabbed by Euforia, but the Japanese chop him by mistake. Boos for Diamante anyway. Cometa and Dragon Lee in a beat late with springboard armdrags, and out the other side with a tope con giro and a Brillo Dorada! Diamante slams Euforia in position and lands the 450 for the fall.
3: Okumura offers a handshake to Rey Cometa. He won't accept it, so he gets slapped. Chop fight breaks out. Cometa headscissors, handspring armdrag, and superkicks Okumura out before doing the dive fake. Dragon Lee in. Namajague alerted he should be in. Karate time? YES! Just the posing, Dragon Lee gets him right away with a karate chop, then runs the ropes to set up a headscissors. Okumura clotheslines Dragon Lee so he can get in his flip. Corner whip, Dragon Lee flips out, Euforia grabs him, Okumura swings and almost hits his partner, Euforia boots Lee into a headscissors on Okumura. Euforia kicks Dragon Lee as he stands back up. Whip, dropkick. Euforia this the ropes but doesn’t go out, dropkick again, Euforia again this the ropes, Diamante in – his dropkick finally does the trick. Diamante claps for Lee - Dragon Lee tries an inside springboard into what I think was supposed to be an armdrag, but it's more just Euforia trying to catch him and not exactly succeeding. Diamante charges Namajague, who ducks him and puts on a waistlock. Diamante swings with back elbows , but Namajague drops him with a back suplex. Okumura knocks Cometa off the apron while his partner covers – one two three. That's a win.

Rating: ok
Notes: JCR mentions Stuka & Fuego are tag team champs in the pre-match. I wonder if that's important. Ref is Rodolfo.
1: Match starts with an all too rare Hooligan/Valiente mat battle. Valiente traps Hooligan's legs for a while, then two battle over camel clutches. Stuka & Fuego appear to be checking out fans in the upper level. Armdrag battle is even. Skándalo and Stuka are next in, Stuka rolling a long way to get out of an armdrag. Skándalo gets Stuka with a back elbow then takes care of the two on the apron with the same. Pólvora chokes Valiente while Hooligan and Skándalo knocks Stuka from the ring, then go after Fuego. Mask pulling for the camera people. Lots of stomping. Valiente gets free long enough to slap Pólvora, and makes the most of it. It was so loud, it sounded like a gunshot. Rudos stop him from more. Corner charges for Stuka, including the Skándalo stomping dropkick. That ends the Stuka. Both Fuego and Valiente come in. Pólvora and Hooligan keep Valiente busy while Skándalo and Fuego carefully applies an Espectrina for a submission.
Rudos toss Fuego to the floor. Non-Mexican fans are freaked out.
2: Low blow elbow drop for Valiente. Dropkick for Stuka. Slam and a lot of chops for Fuego on the ropes. Hooligan tries charging Fuego, Fuego ducks down, and out goes Hooligan. Dropkick for Skándalo to send him out. Pólvora kicks Fuego, but Valiente is monkey flipping Stuka into a tope giro on one side of the ring and Fuego is landing a springboard planchas on the other side. Valiente takes care of Pólvora with a double jump 'rana and the Volador Buster for the win.
Técnicos keep going, with Stuka managing to suplex Hooligan on the ramp. Crowd chants loudly.
3: Skándalo chest slaps Stuka. Stuka takes Skándalo's shirt before he chops back. Skándalo slaps hard back. Long reaction bit. Stuka back with a knife edge chop and one to the chest, and Skándalo decides it's time to leave. They go off into the crowd. Fuego rushes in and shoves Hooligan of the apron. Pólvora comes in, so Fuego brings Valiente in. Pólvora thinks Hooligan is actually going to come in, but they stick in after a moment. Valiente with a dropkick to the knee, and Pólvora is out. More in and out, and Hooligan and Stuka in. Hooligan chops down Stuka. Stuka chops Hooligan without removing his shirt. Chops go back and forth until Hooligan this the ropes. Over, under, clothesline drops Stuka. Pólvora is absurdly enthused about this development. He does not like Stuka. Whip, reversed, Stuka goes for an armdrag, Hooligan grabs the ropes, Hooligan charges, Stuka armdrags him anyway. Okay. Springboard flipping armdrag sends Hooligan out to the front row, and then running up an aisle to escape. Stuka calls Skandalo in, and tags in Fuego. Fuego headlock, shot off, flipping over Skandalo’s back, and standing still to be clotheslined by Skándalo. Skándalo gets in a chop too. Fuego springboards over Skándalo, back bend under the clothesline, fired up dance, Skándalo kicks him, uh oh – double underhook cradle piledriver. One two three.
Valiente in, flipping over Skándalo and taking him out with an armdrag. Dive - no, Pólvora cut shim off with a dropkick. Pólvora chops Valiente into the corner. Crowd LOUD for Valiente. Corner whip, Valiente moves, Pólvora this the pose, Valiente backs up – Valiente Special! Looks great, though Pólvora was a bit too close. Hooligan and Stuka in. Stuka off the ropes, 'rana, no, Hooligan holds on at the last second, Hooligan Crash one two three!
Skándalo slams Fuego on the ramp for good measure. Skándalo says Fuego's lost again to the Tuareg, so don’t be stupid, give them a shot at the Arena Coliseo Tag Titles. Clip there, which seems like a good idea.

Match Time: 15:33
Rating: eh
Notes: Mije is with the Invasors. Referee is Pompin.
1: Sombra and Kraneo start even while the crowd chants for Porky. Shocker and Psicosis are next, but Psicosis leaves rather than lockup. Sounds gets off sync in here for a bit. Goes some time, until Shocker armdrag Psicosis and Psicosis takes off thru the crowd. Shocker makes it in to annoy him. Porky and Morphosis do karate poses, but no karate chops. Hipcheck sends Morphosis out. Other rudos double chop him, but drop down too soon and are splashed. Sombra dropkick Morphosis out and follows with a tope con giro. Other four in, técnicos wrap it up. Excited to see Shocker try to reinera Kraneo, but he goes with the cradle instead.
2: Shocker goes thru all the rudos. He's about where he left off, for good and bad, and doesn't really acknowledge the crowd until he's gone thru everything and it's time to kiss his biceps. Crowd loud for Sombra as he comes in to face Psicosis, but that doesn't get far before Morphosis breaks that up with a dropkick. Sombra makes his own comeback with headscissors, a flipping dropkick, and a surging jumping forearm on Kraneo. Sombra goes after the Kraneo mask, and Mije makes the save with kicks. Sombra presses Mije over his head, look around, and throws him on top of Kraneo. Rope flip dive fake. Morphosis gets trapped in the corner with Porky, but her rudos quickly get annoyed with that and slap him down. Beatdown. Two man faceslam for Shocker. Double backdrop and Mije splash finishes Porky. Psicosis holds Shocker in a cavernaria for Mije low bow dropkick, and that finishes.
3: Stomping to start. Three man faceslam on Sombra. Rudos lean him on the ropes and Mije gives him a running low blow elbow smash. That's not good. Shocker knocks down and sat on - rudos have to stop so they don't actually win the fall. Triple snap kick for Porky. Announcers discuss Blanca keeping her title in Guadalajara. Morphosis misses a corner charge on Sombra, Sombra kicks away Psicosis and headscissors Kraneo to start the comeback. Psicosis clotheslines him, Shocker takes Psicosis and wings him around into a whip into Kraneo in the corner. Morphosis dropkicks Shocker, but Porky belly bumps him in. técnicos whip Porky in the giant corner sit. Rudos stay in the corner until it's time to free from a second – Kraneo doesn't make it out in time and is squashed. Técnicos take it home form there.
