Match Time: 13:16
Rating: okay
Notes: Referee is Bestia Negra, who looks like he's lost some weight.
1: Máximo and Scorpio have a very Máximo open. Taichi and Marco take turns competing for reactions, which may be as good as it'll get for Taichi. He does the Marco dance, so my gif is done. Taichi refuses to lockup. Escorpion gives Taichi advice. I can't imagine what that could be. Marco finally punches him, and hands back off to Máximo to tease the kiss. Rey Escorpion runs without a tag to help out, and Dragon Rojo charges in to taunt Devitt. Devitt cracks Rojo with a clothesline, but Rojo spears him on the next pass. I'm sending a pattern. Rojo whips Devitt into the corner, and follows with the low blow dropkick. Devitt rolls out of the corner, and all the way into a knee choke. Rudos take Devitt to the outside for the flying sit. Marco in, but Escorpion slaps him around. No problem slapping him here. Double clothesline with Taichi, then Escorpion slams Marco himself. Tag to Rojo for the top rope splash one two three. Escorpion submits Máximo to finish the fall.
2: Rudos hold the ring, and there's only token acknowledgment of the old tag rules. They're coming and going and staying as long as they'd like. Double boot for Devitt. Marco charges in, Taichi kicks him in the face and throat repeatedly. Snap mare, kick to the spine, Marco can't dance. Rudos hold Marco on the corner for Taichi to hit and choke. Máximo grabs Taichi's leg, but Escorpion helps out and slaps Máximo down. Whip, back elbow, and taunt to Devitt. Devitt just comes in and starts hitting Escorpion, so the other rudos have to help out. Corner whip, corner clothesline, Escorpion goes to all fours, but Devitt jumps off Escorpion to dropkick Dragon Rojo. Marco punches Escorpion and avoids Taichi's dropkick. Máximo blocks all of Taichi shots and kisses him. Taichi freaks out. Máximo holds him down as Marco lands the Aero Italiano on Rey Escorpion for the fall. Dragon Rojo runs from Devitt, but Devitt catches up to him on the ramp and elbows and stomps him a bit.
3: Escorpion calls Marco in, much to his regret. Marco points out his height advantage, poses, and no sells Escorpion's chops before doing the dramatic over sell and mocking the chops to Máximo (who is hurt by Marco's fake chops.) Rey Escorpion's clotheslines do not work any better for him, Taichi attacks Marco from behind and dances himself, then Escorpion gets in stomps. Corner whip, Marco chops over, under a double clothesline, springboard double clothesline on both and pose. Rojo in, but Devitt scares him away. Rojo turns up the stage, but Devitt just runs after him and punches him there. Devitt punches and chops Dragon Rojo all the way back to the ring. Rojo rolls out, and Escorpion cuts him off. Match resumes with Taichi kick Máximo in the chest hard. Máximo catches one and goes for the kiss, which Taichi begs off. Máximo off the ropes, cartwheel, under a clothesline, back with a headscissors. Rey Escorpion kicks Máximo in the corner but misses a splash and takes a double springboard headscissors. Escorpion out, Taichi fakes and dive and poses. Rojo in, Devitt in. Chops and forearms to the face. Rojo wins with kicks and forearms to the back. Stomps. Rojo screams. Crowd boos. Rojo off the ropes, clothesline misses, Devitt connects on his backflip kick. Devitt goes for Rojo's mask! Rojo kicks him away. Devitt charges Devitt and takes a boot, Rojo climbs tot he middle rope and Devitt kicks him out. Plancha to the floor. Marco charges in, Taichi moves to of the way and kicks him in the shoulder, then a spinning heel kick to the midsection. Big kick misses, Mark of Excellence, one two three.

Niebla rolls and tags in Niebla, and Atlantis comes in for the técnicos. Atlantis misses a dropkick, Niebla helps whip him into Azul – who fails to flip Atlantis to the apron. Not sure who's fault, Atlantis didn't really jump for the flip either. Rudos try whipping the técnicos in each other, técnicos reverse it, and Atlantis sort of waves Azul by a little bit into a dropkick to both. Stereo tope spot looks good, anyway. Replays.
