Announcers preview the show. Estrellita is the guest announcers. They know of the Rey Bucanero injury, so it's not like he tripped walking up the stairs that day and they had to juggle the card, CMLL just didn't want to tell anyone ahead of time.
Match 1: Super Porky vs Rey Escorpión for the hair in super libre plus
Arena Mexico, 10/18/2013
Winner: Rey Escorpion (2-1)
Match Time: 8:16
Rating: good
Notes: Porky is wearing his mask again. Escorpion's intro is cut to about 3 seconds. In usual form, half the edecanes are wearing silver arm sleeves and the other half are wearing red/black/bullets. Are Escorpion and Porky even in the same weight class? I have serious questions for Fantasma on this one. I hope they have more super libre plus matches because I like the way Ivan says it. Máximo is Porky's second, Bobby Zavala is Escorpion's. Both mean are wearing gloves and are instructed on the rules. They do have mouthpieces. Referee is Terror Chino.
1: Both men have their hands up and are looking for punches early on. Escorpion connects with lot of right jabs. Escorpion shoots lose, Porky falls on him and goes for punches to the face. Escorpion escapes and gets Porky's back for punches to the side and side of the head. Crowd is not happy this. Porky tries to roll away, and Escorpion put on a rear naked choke. Crowd chant for Porky, who's not going anywhere. Escorpion even has the bodyscissors on. Porky tries tapping out on his side, then on the mat, and that's enough for Terror Chino to call the fall. Escorpion has to be pried off Porky.
2: THIS IS A THREE FALL MATCH. To be fair, Porky is looking pretty fine after being strangled to near unconsciousness. Escorpion back in with left and rights, just taking out Porky, Porky seems in trouble, but captures Escorpion back. Really, no punches, just fat intimidation. Porky corners Escorpion headbutts him over and over again. Porky with punches, but Escorpion turns it around and pulls Porky. Knees – too many knees because Porky gets in a takedown. Crowd is happy. Porky on top of Escorpion and punching him in the face repeatedly. Kicks, armscissors, Escorpion gives up right away.
Máximo likes Porky's punching and encourages more of it. Porky chant picks up during replays.
3: Escorpion stalls outside the ring while Terror Chino clears up a wet spot on the mat. Escorpion works on getting counted out in a fake MMA match. Escorpion, but immediately cornered by Porky punches. Escorpion in all sorts of trouble, referee may have to step in here. Just punch after punch to the midsection to the midsection . Porky gives Escorpion room so he can run in and lands a corner splash. Escorpion tripped down, armscissors on – but Escorpion has the ropes! Escorpion rolls out, because of course, and Porky does a plancha off the apron because of course. Porky back in, first. Escorpion yells at the crowd, then demands the referee back Porky up. The referee backs Porky up, and then porky moves back towards Escorpion as soon as the referee turns around. Escorpion sneaks in, gets Porky's back, and goes back for the choke. They have moves. Proky won't le it be sunk in, so Escorpion punches him around the head and chest. Lots of punches. Referee breaks it up – why, punches to the back of the head? Not made clear. BREAK. Escorpion back on Porky, and chokes him around the ropes with his legs. That seems vastly illegal, but it only gets fight punch. Punches to the head. Porky gets away and walks away, but Escorpion catches up and nails him with some punches. Holy crap, this because less funny. Both back up, Escorpion goes in close, but gets caught by a Porky belly to belly suplex. Porky get the mount and rains in punch after punch to Escorpion's face. Escorpion somehow pushes Porky off and starts kicking him. Punches to the head – back of the head, which probably should be a break if they broke for that reason previously, but Terror Chino is letting it go. Crowd boos, doesn't like seeing this. Escorpion keeps going, stomping Porky and kicks him in the side. More and more punches. and Porky isn't putting up any defense. Referee really should stop it. Crowd stops it by chanting. At Porky. Escorpion stops, then goes back to punches, and Máximo has had enough. Eh rushes in, shoves Escorpion and punches him in the side of the head. Referee tries to break it up, but Máximo shoves him away and goes back to stomping and punches Escorpion. Escorpion's just trying to cover him up. Eventually, Terror Chino gets in the middle, and Zavala pulls Escorpion out. Terror Chino raises Escorpion's arm for the win.
Escorpion celebrates on the outside, and says he'll do the same to Máximo as he did to his dad. Máximo is okay with it. Porky gets his hair shaved in the ring. Escorpion demands to do it himself, which really annoys the crowd.
They go right form this into the tribute to El Brazo, which feels totally weird. Besides the wrestlers and backstage people (Panico), various Brazos not otherwise on the show are there – Brazo de Oro holds up the Brazo portrait, Brazo de Oro, Brazo de Oro Jr., Robin.

Notes: Comandante & Terrible are waring the Bullet Club shirts, but Tama Tonga – clearly entered in the bodybuilding contest – is not. He does bring one to the ring. Rey Bucanero's entrance is not shown. Bucanero has a big boot on his left leg. Panico and Guerrero del Futuro bring the belts to the ring as Ivan explains the challengers automatically get the belts.

2: Tonga stomps over La Mascara. Máscara gets up and exchange chops, then just keeps on chopping Tama and blocks his. Off the ropes, Mascara stop running, then then Tonga dropkicks him. Please make tags! Tama covers, gets two, and does tag in Terrible, though that's only half the problem. Terrible lays out Máscara with a series of slaps, and he rolls and tags Rush. Much better. Stare down, Rush with punches, Tama punches Rush back into the rudo corner. Rush tries fighting both guys at once, but that doesn't take. Rush is stomped down.

All are slow back in, Tam first, Mascara with the swing kick, top rope plancha one two NO. Whip, reversed, Tama splash misses, La Máscara superkicks him, one two Terrible breaks it up.

Terrible Michinoku driver, one two Rush marches in front of Tirantes to cut him off, kicks Terrible, and sticks him tag out to the crowd. Northern lights suplex by Rush, one two no. Terrible and Rush screw up a fireman's drop (how is that possible), Rush senton, and Tama breaks up the pine before there is one. Máscara charge at Tama, Tama grabs him, and Terrible slaps his partner by mistake. Máscara campana. Tama breaks it up. Tama holds Máscara in place while Terrible reverses the Rush Driver into the Air Raid Crash. He gets his move, gets his pin, and Tama waits for a moment before getting in his DDT. That's that.
