Match 1: Black Metal, Esfinge, Leo vs Espectrum, Hooligan, Nitro
Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, 10/22/2013
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:39
Rating: below average/ok
Notes: Referee is Juan el Millionario.
1: Pairs are Leo/Nitro, Esfinge/Hooligan and Black Metal/Espectrum in building action. Esfinge has his name on his arm sleeves, which is nice costuming touch. Metal headscissors Espectrum out but gets kicked by a Nitro dive (and takes theatrical bump from a weak shot.) Other for all end up in, but the técnicos double teaming backfires and they're beat quick.
2: Rudo beatdown includes a triple elbow drop on Esfinge. Plenty of tags, basic spots. Hooligan gets a 2 count on Esfinge after a camel clutch/dropkick spot. Lots of the técnicos being kicked out. Nitro yells at Leo after he's too slow getting up for a drop down for a slap, then Leo escapes a double chop to start the comeback. Rudos kick him, técnicos in with late springboard dropkicks, but tripped up going for dives. They quietly roll out of the way as Leo waits for Nitro to come in. Plancha, rough huracanrana, three.
3: Announcers are pushing hard about how all these Guadalajara guys are coming to Mexico City in the future. Probably not. Leo looks nervous and doesn't have chemistry with Nitro. Metal and Espectrum treat the flip to the apron spot the last two guys did, this time doing a double a springboard armdrag to send the rudo out instead of springboard dropkick. Other rudos kick him down, Other técnicos are late coming in with a springboard armdrag, and Leo misses Nitro (who really doesn't help at all.) Everyone's timing is thrown off by that – Esfinge wants to run for something, but Leo and Nitro were in the way doing other armdrags. Tecnicos all dive, which are half caught (by the camera and the rudos.) Springboard reverse plancha and topes. Esfinge and Espectrum back in, Esfinge puts on a cloverleaf with an armbar, but the Tuareg break that up. Metal dives in, rolls by the older rudos, Espectrum is supposed to pull him down but they're late getting it together. Rudos dropkick Metal in the butt to send him out. Leo fails on another springboard armdrag and is pretty toast. Nitro tosses him into another Hooligan Crash, but no pin this time. Espectrum dropkicks Leo, Nitro powerbombs him, one two three.

Match Time: 13:24
Rating: good/great
Notes: Watching this via Terra, though it surprisingly turns out to be not edited at all on 52MX. Namajague goes after Maya before the match and stomps him down, while everyone else watches. Atlantis helps Maya out after the fact. Referee is Bestia Negra.
1: Puma and Delta lockup. Namajague comes in as if he's going to attack delta from behind, but Puma and Leta are unaware and go thru a a normal opening sequence, with a Delta armdrag to send Puma into the corner. Namajague comes back in when Delta puts on a half crab and armbar, and Maya storms in to point and complaining about Namajague. Namajague walks away, and the two legal guys continue their early exchange of armdrags and armbars. Namajague and again breaks up the hold, and Maya again complains about it, getting nowhere. Rudos take over, superkicking Maya out of the ring, then superkicking Tiger into the corner. Puma whips Atlantis in a clothesline and stops him from making a tag. Namajague tagged in, and attacking Atlantis' arm. Namajague hammers Atlantis' arm and stomps on it a bit. Tiger tags in, going after Atlantis' mask. Tiger grabs Atlantis by the leg, and Puma kicks it. Atlantis finally gets away to make the tag to Delta. Puma begs off and offers a handshake, sucking Delta into a superkick. Dropkick knocks Delta down. Namajague tagged in and stomping, but Delta bulls him into the técnico corner, and Maya comes in hammering punches. Cats hold Maya for Namajague to taunt and kick. Namajague is much more aggressive lately. Maya breaks free, and kicks Namajague out, then chases him to the floor. Atlantis takes over instead, taking down Tiger to set him up for Delta's moonsault, though the positioning is not good. Tiger is too close for Delta and tries to scoot farther away even as Delta's in the air, but Delta still goes long. (Tiger at least saved him from a complete miss.) Atlantis casadora cradles Puma, and the referee counts the pins at the same time (even though Puma down a second late – he gets beat on a two count, more or less.) Maya chases Namajague anyway, while Delta walks Puma around the ring.
2: Maya gets Namajague back in and yanks his face around. Tiger attacks Maya from behind to help Namajague out and takes over with a corner whip and corner clothesline. Whip, dropkick to the face lays Maya out. Tiger points around at the crowd. Namajague tries to come in with a tag, has to leave, and Tiger walks over to tag him. One kick to Maya before he escapes for a tag. Delta in but slapped. Namajague and Delta exchange chops, until Namajague's hit very hard and the cats decided to help him out by stomping Delta. Atlantis gets pulled in and stomped too. Maya comes in to confront Namajague, but Namajague insists Delta is legal and Maya has to leave. Referee goes with it, Maya argues, and Namajague attacks Maya from behind. Standing on Maya's throat and taunting time. Namajague holds Maya for a double chop, rudos get Namajague instead, and and Maya breaks free to chase Namajague around ringside again. That goes nowhere this time too, but everyone rests to to their corners. Delta and Puma in, evasion, Puma kick caught for a dragon screw. Delta springboard headscissors is not great, but Puma makes it work, and then takes Delta's rolling over the ropes headscissors on the floor. Tag to Maya,w ho calls Namajague in and gets him. Namajague gets in a kick an a chop, then tries to get a pin off that, but Atlantis rushes in and kicks Namajague in the face. Both Maya and Namajague roll out, and Tiger comes in. Tiger chops Atlantis repeatedly. Tiger kicks Atlantis, shot off, back with a shoulderblock, and Atlantis goes down to one knees. Atlantis waves Tiger into an armdrag, then monkey flips him across the ring. Tiger kicks Atlantis back a few steps, misses a dropkick thru the rope and to the floor. Atlantis follows Tiger out to whip him into the guardrail. Atlantis is very active today. Maya and Namajague in one more time, and Maya gets him with a rope running tope, but another.

Maya as “Mikami” where Okumura is, and accuses him fo taking the titles back to Japan. Maya demands Namajague accept his chllange for the Arena Coliseo tag team titles. Delta is sitting astride the top rope watching this. Namajague rants in Japanese which turned out to be “I don’t' know where Okumura is but okay.” Namajague walks off without anyone here knowing what he said, though the announcers are sure he said yes.

Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 10:14
Rating: ok/good
Notes: Referee is Tiger Hispano.
1: Quick moving opening fall building to a Titan headscissors on Mephisto (which almost goes too high.) Mephisto runs to prevents a dive, Titan chases him out to Rudoland, and the rudos lay waste to him and all the técnicos. Lots of técnicos being thrown into the barricade. The barricade gate near the announce desk collapses and almost falls on top of Místico after he's sent into the adjacent wall. Mephisto gives Titan the flapjack kick inside. Rudos go thru all the técnicos in the ring. Superkick and backcracker on Rush finishes him out. Volador pins Místico with one foot after Averno's done the work.
2: Mistico's treated to the corner superkick to the face. Rudos all stomp Rush and dropkick him off the apron. That leaves Mephisto and Averno on the floor, so Místico springboard planchas Volador and submits him for the usual surprise win.
3: Tecnico showcases go Místico (boost headscissors to Volador on the ramp), then Titan (headscissors everyone before getting to Mephisto and Titanics headscissors him out.) Tecnicos triple dive is not close to the same time (Rush in a hurry) and Titan doesn't quite get to Mephisto on his tope. Averno ends up in, and Titan springboards into a powerbomb for a near fall. Averno gets flipped to the apron, slaps Titan back, stand strikes the top rope, and gets plucked off by a Místico springboard headscissors. Mistico covers, but gives up when he sees Volador coming. It does him no good – superkick, backcracker. Rush roughly breaks up the pin with a stomp and kicks to the face. All three rudos end up in with Rush, and he runs into the three man powerbomb – but it only gets two this time. Místico in, triple faceslam reversed to a cradle, but Volador kicks out and escape the surprise pinfall. Místico and Volador exit, and Titan comes in with Averno & Mephisto. Titan is held for chops and the like. Titan reverses a boost to a dropkick on Mephisto, then gets Averno pinned with a torito. Volador shoves Titan out, but and headscissors Rush to the ropes.
