Rating: eh
Notes: Yujiro grabs an edecan again, but Carolina seems to be expecting it. Or not as surprised. Tirantes is the referee.
1: Pairs are Yujiro/Shocker (battle of the blondes!), Mephisto/Atlantis, and that turns out to be it. Yujiro and Shocker are even, up until they get loss. Atlantis monkey flips Mephisto around, but Yujiro get in one shot from outside, and that's all they need to set up Volador's guillotine legdrop. Rudos keep the rest out and get the win.
Announcers say hi.

Notes: Rey Escorpion has a new NEW outfit, with knifes and a mask and such. Maybe it's a Scorpion King thing I should recognize. Music with “I Stand Alone” is a bit odd when you're in a trio. Dragon Rojo is Escorpion's second, and almost runs into a posing Escorpion because Dragon Rojo is looking at the fans. Black Warrior is wearing the same outfit he usually does. Pants may be new. Sombra is Black Warrior's second. Referee is Babe Richard. Match is announced as “sin empate”, which doesn't mean what we think it means.

Hype for next Friday's show. Dr. Morales does seem to take the martinete argument up.
Announcers discuss.
