Match 1: Delta vs Vangelis in a lightning match
Arena Coliseo, 03/10/2013
Winner: Vangelis
Match Time: 6:42
Rating: good
Notes: Referee is Pompin.
Back and forth includes an early bow and arrow by Vangelis, which Delta quickly escapes and armdrags Vangelis to a standoff. Battling wristlocks and fireman's carries for a bit. Vangelis kicks Delta, which kicks of a strong chop fight. Vangelis wins that cleanly, whips Delta to the opposite corner, Delta just kips up over Vangelis barely, and Vangelis hits the post. Delta flips himself to the apron, and springboard headscissors on the way back in. Delta out, Vangelis ducks down and spears Delta on the ramp. Back in for a corner clothesline and a flapjack, but Vangelis can only get a two count. Whip, clothesline Delta headscissors him out, and follows with a tope, almost catching his feet on the way thru but just being too fast to be stopped. Hard impact on the dive. Replay of that. Vangelis throws Delta back in, Delta back with a ranita for two. Five minute call seems early. Announcers telling trivia questions about Firpo Segura, who was an important in the history of the lucha, but it's too bad none of the guys today rate a trivia question.
Vangelis powerbomb and feet on the ropes, but he's far too obvious about it. Vangelis suplex, slow float over one two NO. Clearly, it was the slow float over that cost him. Vangelis seems tired, but also distracted by the mild Delta chant. Whip, reversed, and Delta sneaks in a powerslam. That's a lot of luchador to powerslam, but it's till only a two count. Delta heads to the apron, springboard frog splash one two NO. LH title mention! Delta off the ropes right into the Northern Lights suplex, one two three. JCR has the exact same time as I do, even though that call was off. Let's just blame the ring announcer.
Vangelis says he's a complete well rounded luchador. Genetic engineering?

Notes: Referee is Bestia Negra.
1: Tiger and Shocker out, and Tiger asks out after too many hard Shocker chops. Puma and Oro are next, with Puma reached for Angel's mask for leverage, Angel armdragging him away, and Puma complaining about Angel grabbing his mask. Mascara headscissors Sangre out quick, and quebradoras him on the floor just as quick. Tiger and Shocker resume their chop fight, which goes no better for Tiger. Puma comes in to help, and Shocker has the cats hitting each other before long. Sangre pounds Shocker into the corner with kicks (and with the cats getting shots from the outside.) Shocker turns things around at half peed, leisurely puts on a reinera and the cats double superkick him over into a pin. Puma cuts off Mascara, and Angel de Oro runs over to get Tiger to hit him. Bestia Negra won't count the pin, because Tiger is close, then counts it when Tiger and Oro brawl away from it.
2: Puma suckers Oro and dropkicks him out. Puma blocks a Mascara kicks so Tiger can get in a free kick, and Tiger adds his Tree of Woe kick to the chest. Mascara doesn't fall down, so Tiger adds a running dropkick. Shocker spits so hard, Puma's head reel back on impact. Rudos chop and kick Shocker. Angel de Oro backdrops over Puma to set up Tiger hitting everyone by mistake. Tiger take a quebradora from Máscara, rudos get a hold Of Máscara, then promptly mess it up again. Máscara topes on Sangre while Shocker topes Puma. Tiger and Angel de Oro left in, Tiger dropkick to the knee, casita shoved off, Angel de Oro drop toe hold, casita one two three. Is Tiger the captain? Tiger is the captain.
3: Mascara takes off his shirt before getting the better of Puma with kicks, and Tiger breaks up a pin before mocking him by the doing the same. Mascara still let the better of the cats, headscissors all around. Sangre's left alone with Mascara, and somehow doesn't immediately lose. He does immediately take the rolling dropkick, and that's it. Angel de Oro headscissors Sangre out, but Tiger drops him with a superkick. Puma helps come in to stomp, and the rudos do their pose together. Cats fall for the 1 on 2 again, headscissored out. Sangre and Shocker have a big strike battle, which ends with Shocker just asking for Tiger to be tagged in. Shocker does do better with Tiger. Puma tries his chops, and Shocker goes down. Puma celebrates. Shocker tells him to try again, ducks, and chops Puma one good. Shocker waves in the other guys, chops all of them, and they all just beat up Shocker. That was a poor plan, Shocker! Shocker clears Puma out, the other two guys chops and charge, Shocker down and the rudos throw themselves out. No one wants to face Angel de Oro again. Tiger is stuck in, chop fight, and Angel de Oro rolls into a dropkick to the backside. Angel out, Tiger out with a running slingshot tornillo. Other four in, Tecnicos wrap it up.
Tecnicos strut together after the match, then Shocker and Angel de Oro are way too excited in the post match interview. Shocker says he's back from his knee injury, goes crazy, and kisses JCR.

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 15:07
Rating: good
Notes: Referee is Maya.
1: Pairs are Rush/Dragon Rojo, Máximo/Averno, and then Averno and Sombra just are facing off when the rudos jump Sombra. The first two pairs are in longer, but accomplish about the same. Rudos kick around the técnicos for a while, then just decide to win the fall. Averno has to drags Máximo around the ring until the other guys move Rush far enough out of the way.
2: Rudos pounds down Rush. Máximo comes in for an attempted save, but just gets beat too. Máximo stopped Dragon Rojo with his backside on a corner whip to start the comeback, everyone hitting everyone until Rush gives Dragon Rojo a back suplex and a double stomp, slipping on impact. Volador comes in to face Sombra as soon as he knows Sombra is not allowed to hit him.
3: Máximo and Rush get in their showcases before Sombra gets his first shot. Crowd very much wants to see Máximo kiss Averno, but Averno manages to hold that off. Dragon Rojo trying to out kick Rush leads to Dragon Rojo getting stomped until Maya pulls Rush off. Volador gets beat up by Rush and Máximo, though Sombra still can't get a hold of him. Dragon Rojo and Averno get 1-on-2ed by Sombra, leading to the big standoff with Volador. Both evade on the run, then get to a stalemate and face off again. Averno in, Sombra avoids his dropkick and boost headscissors him out. Volador headscissors Maximo out, and we're back to the standoff. They look, they run, and they each tope con giro an opponent. Dragon Rojo and Rush in, Rojo knocks Rush down, off the ropes, and into a Rush F5. Dragon Rojo doesn't spin out far enough on those. Two count. Rush and Rojo exchange kicks, Rojo head kicks Rush to the floor and follows with an odd tope con giro. Other for back in, Sombra kicks the rudos away to set up a Máximo plancha, Máximo kiss cradle on Volador, but Volador rolls thru for a backcracker, just as Sombra Brillante Drivers Averno. Three counts for both.
Rush and Volador stare each other down. Sombra miss a clothesline, dueling flipping runs, Volador misses a clothesline, Sombra misses a clothesline, Volador puts up the stop sign and ask for a handshake. Sombra thinks about this, reaches out, accepts, Volador pulls him in for a hug, reaches to raise Sombra's arm, and pulls of the mask with the other hand. Oh, Sombra. Rudos stomp down Sombra for a while, and it takes Maya some time to get to Sombra's arm.
Replays and that's it.
