Match 1: Oro Jr. & Robin vs Herodes Jr. & Inquisidor
Arena Mexico, 08/27/2013
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:58
Rating: ok
Notes: Herodes hair is becoming massive. Referee is Tigre Hispano.
1: Herodes and Oro Jr. start, with Inquisidor breaking up a Boston crab from the outside. Herodes gets the better of the next couple exchanges, but Oro Jr. shows off a kip up to his feet before they tag out. Inquisidor and Robin do the even exchange. Oro armdrags Herodes around, but gets chopped to the floor. Robin planchas and awkwardly catches Herodes anyway and Oro beats Inquisidor.
2: Inquisidor catches a flipping Robin with a dropkick, but Robin just show off with kip ups. Spinning armdrag spot goes bad and these two are totally lost for about 10 seconds. Robin I ts the one who looked ad, but it looked like Inquisidor's fault. Oro and Herodes are much better, Oro peaking with a springboard armdrag to the darkness of the ramp. Robin breaks out his second superkick in so many moves on Inquisidor as soon as they come back in. Inquisidor takes over with a back elbow, loads Robin up on the buckles on a charge, and pulls him off the valagueza cracker for the fall.
3: Herodes snacks on Oro Jr.'s boot. Inquisidor sticks with backdrops and dropkicks on Robin, then hangs Oro Jr. in the ropes for yet another dropkick. Herodes helps out a bit. More backdrops. Rudos corner whip Robin, Oro Jr. flips him to safety and quebradoras Inquisidor. Oro Jr. celebrate,s and has a hilariously late and big sell of a simple Herodes chop to the back. Robin comes in tho help out, and boots Oro into a low blow dropkick on Herodes. Inquisidor clotheslines Robin out, and he and Oro both try to get a reaction reaction before they finally fight. Oro drops Inquisidor with a lunging clothesline and pins him. Referee counts the pin everyone though Inquisidor is leaning off the mat. Inquisidor kicks Oro Jr.'s clotheslining arm, and covers him for just two. This is going long for an opener. Oro fights back, drops Inquisidor, and Robin lands the top rope senton con giro for the pinfall. Oro puts on La Dorada to finish Herodes.
Match 2: Soberano Jr., Stigma, Súper Halcón Jr. vs Artillero, Nitro, Súper Comando
Arena Mexico, 08/27/2013
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 18:32
Rating: good
Notes: Referee is Rafael el Maya.
1: Comando stretches Halcón, and and his mask. Halcón is able to headscissors out, and Stigma cheap shots Comando from the apron but it doesn’t go anywhere. Stigma and Artillero (wearing his new good gear, unlike his brother) are next, but Artillero annoys Soberano and uses the referee to keep him away. Stigma and Artillero are even on the mat. Stigma is able to fight Artillero out with a casadora armdrag. Soberano faces off with Nitro, a man twice his width. Nitro flapjacks and chops Soberano, but Soberano fights him off and lands a nice top rope tornillo. Nitro immediately clotheslines him. Soberano is flung to the apron, swing kicks Nitro, then runs up the ropes and springboards into a headscissors to send Nitro out. Guess you can jump into the ring but not out of it. Comando and Halcón back in, Halcón heel kicks sets up the dropkick to the backside and the winning moonsault.
Rudos kick out Halcón, deflect a Stigma plancha and get beat by them just the same. Soberano gets his guillotine moonsault too late but May counts it just the same.
2: Stigma show off with a roll thru the ropes into a headscissors on Artillero. Halcón fancy armdrags Comando out to the apron, and drops him with a back suplex. Soberano has a flipping run and armdrag with Nitro. Tecnicos have had a long run here, 12 minutes including the break. Rudos are able to subdue Soberano a little bit, he and Stigma turn it around and put on time killing submissions on the Peleton. Halcón planchas Nitro, but Nitro survives it and cradles Halcón for the win. Other técnicos think they've won for a moment. Announcers are sure the rudos planned that. I am less sure.
3: Nitro beats up Soberano on the stage while his partners backdrop and kick the other técnicos. Nitro spinebusters and backdrops Stigma back in the ring. Everyone stomps Halcón. Rudos knock around Stigma some more. Soberano takes corner charges, Comando chopping him hard. Rudos trip Halcón up for a triple dropkick, but the rudos all break that up. Halcón goes for Comandos' mask while the other two rudos are pulled out. Comando's flipped to the apron, and given a clothesline from one and a trip from the other direction. Artillero and Nitro really to knock Soberano out of the ring and knocks Halcón down. Halcon's flipped to the apron, triple up there, and dropkicked to the floor. Soberano springboards back in, but right into a Nitro dropkick. Things are not looking good for the técnicos. Sigma headscissors Nitro, but his huracanrana on Artillero is rolled thru for two. Artillero slaps Stigma and puts on the saluting surfboard. Stigma gives before Artillero even really gets to saluting.
Halcón slaps Artillero back, but runs charges again – Peleton Cutter. That's there.

Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 16:20
Rating: ok/good
Notes: Tirantes is referee.
1: Triton and Raziel have an extended mat wrestling bit to start the match. Raziel stays on Triton, who doesn't get a chance to fly until about 2:45 in. Springboard headscissors then sends Raziel right out. Taichi tries the barrel roll on the rope running on Starman, and ends up just rolling his way out. Starman slowly chases him around the ring. Pegasso has the most neon green outfit possible. He armdrags and headscissors Cancerbero around, then nearly wins with the headscissors inside cradle bit before Raziel breaks it up. Taichi distracts Tirantes while his partners unsuccessfully double team Pegasso. Cancerbero tries to miss on an elbow drop, actually lands right on him. Cancerbero kicks Pegasso in the ropes, chops Pegasso then Pegasso reverses a whip and dropkicks him. Pegasso charges into a flip to the apron, Pegasso knocks Cancerbero back, but Raziel pulls Pegasso out. Starman missile dropkicked Cancerbero and sentons him, but Taichi breaks that up. Taichi lands a big kick Starman's head, then drops him with eh Black Mephisto. Taichi straddles Starman while covering, which the announcers pick up on. Cancerbero briefly forgets how to put on his hold, but gets it together.
2: Rudos stay in control. Taichi does little, hangs off to the others for a big flipping faceslam. Cancerbero kicks around Starman before running him out over to knock him out. Taichi teases the low blow stomp, but lands on Pegasso's stomach instead. Yelling corner slap. Triton headscissors Taichi to start the comeback. Cancerbero is able to stop down the técnicos, but the put it back other, and Pegasso lands a big plancha on him. Raziel tires tho help, is slapped by his partner. Pegasso's boosted into a dropkick on Raziel, Cancerbero kicks him out, Starman flying headscissors him, and Pegasso and Starman both do rope grab tope con giros. Triton and Taichi back in, Taichi runs the ropes a lot, Triton runs behind him and kicks him, sit down powerbomb for three.
3: Pegasso gets in armdrags on Cancerbero, and a diving headscissors off the apron. Raziel escapes a monkey flip, but not a Starman hiptoss and armdrag. Quebradora on the floor. Starman goes for Raziel's mask for some reason. Taichi takes off his pants before starting with Triton, then kicks him down. Triton flips Taichi to the apron, dropkicks him off, and follows with the Triton Special dive. Raziel trips Starman up on the ropes and goes for the Amapola running sit on the ropes, but Starman moves. Other four get involved, with the técnicos piling onto the rudos but only getting tow. Pegasso charges Starman and is tossed into a Raziel powerbomb. Scorpion there, and Cancerbero beats Starman with a nudo lagunero.
Match 4: Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Super Porky vs Hiroshi Tanahashi, Namajague, Rey Escorpión
Arena Mexico, 08/27/2013
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:57
Rating: ok
Notes: Referee is Tigre Hispano.
1: Maya and Namajague are the first match up, and as much as I'd like to see that, I more hope that moves us closer to Tanahashi contra Super Porky. Namajague and Maya do have a speedy even exchange, Namajague being armdragged into fear/the corner. Tanahashi matches up with Delta, which is almost as weird but quite. Does Delta have a mustache now? May be a shadow. Escorpion and Namajague tease sneaking in when Delta puts Tanahashi into holds, but Tanahashi escapes on his own. Porky insists on facing Rey Escorpion, who insists on leaving. Escorpion comes back, slaps Porky, and gets flattened in many ways. Porky apron dive leads Maya to come back in for the reverse tope on Namajague, but Namajague survives and German suplexes him for one pin. Delta dropkicks Namajague out, but turns into a Tanahashi's Hooligan Crash for three.
2: Rudos stomp down Maya. Wheelbarrow double bulldog on Delta. Maya considers a handshake from Escorpion and is slapped right out. Crowd demands Porky, and Porky waddles in to be kicked around. Porky is to fast and escape a corner charge to flatten people. Delta headscissors Escorpion, Namajague misses an elbow drop, Maya top rope splashes him, rudo misses elbow drops to set up the multiple splash bit, and Porky getting distracted talking to Tigre Hispano before landing his big splash.
3: Delta rolls over Escorpion and comes back with a headscissors. Tanahashi and Delta exchange chops, Tanahashi winning with eye rake (?). Delta springboard dropkicks him out, then rolls over the top rope with a headscissors. Namajague dumps Delta himself, then chops around Delta. Maya comes back with the springboard reverse armdrag and a wheel kick to the jaw. Escorpion runs over Maya with a clothesline. Maya gets in his run up the ropes armdrag, Escorpion tumbles over the ropes out and begs away from Maya on the outside. Porky vs Tanahashi! Tanahashi tries kicks, tries punches, but the punches don't work on Tanahashi gut. Porky demands a sumo face off. Charge, Tanahashi gets flipped and is very angry. Tanahashi demands one more chance. Big face off, charge, and down goes Tanahashi. Other rudos kick down Porky, Delta flips over a double backdrop but falls down on the landing. He kips up, under a clothesline, and then Maya dropkicks the rudos. Delta boosts Maya into a tope con giro onto Namajague, and runs up the corner for his own moonsault onto Escorpion. Porky and Tanahashi to finish it! Tanahashi tries the sunset flip! Porky it, but Tanahashi moves just in time (and I mean just in time. Tanahashi dropkicks Porky in the head, goes up top, High Fly Flow for three.
Porky is unable to get up after the frog splash.

Match 5: Atlantis ©, La Máscara, Thunder vs Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero ©
Arena Mexico, 08/27/2013
Winner: técnicos (2-0)
Match Time: 6:11
Rating: ok
Notes: Atlantis makes it all the way to the ring without being attacked, a tremendous upset. Guerreros enter as a group. They attack the técnicos as soon as they get in the ring. Tirantes is referee.
1: Other técnicos are cleared out so UG can rip up Atlantis' mask for the cameras. Photos are taken and Atlantis is kicked out. La Mascara is tripped and dropkicked. Thunder's brought to the ramp for the flying sit. Rudos stomp down Atlantis in the ring, and Tirantes makes an excessive violence DQ call without putting in a count. It looks like he stopped the fall then called the DQ in under 3 seconds. It's lame by even the usual standards.
2: Guerreros double suplex Thunder and are very proud of it. UG kicks Atlantis in the face and goes for his mask. UG misses a corner charge and takes the knee bump out, with Atlantis right after him to punch him into the barricade. Mascara goes for Euforia's mask while Thunder kicks around Gran Guerrero. Atlantis gets UG's mask off in the ring, and they actually blur out his face – doesn't usually happen on this show. Guerreros make the save and Tirantes doesn't call a DQ. Things settle down to showcases. Thunder gives the lesser Guerreros a double hiptoss. Euforia and Mascara have an awkward moment, which Máscara responds to by stripping. Kicks and superkick for the lesser rudos, then a Thunder double chokeslam. Mascara adds a missile dropkick and a tope, one sort of caught by the rudos. Thunder gets the pile wit his tope con giro. Atlantis and UG in to end it, Atlantis quebradoras UG. UG trips up Atlantis, crowd, shot, UG goes for a hold, Atlantis pulls his mask and small packages him for the win.
Announcers wrap up.
