Match 1: Máximo vs Rey Escorpión in a lightning match
Arena Mexico, 11/08/2013
Winner: Maximo
Match Time: 6:01
Rating: good
Notes: Referee is Terror Chino.
Both guys have their hands up in boxing stances, but Terror Chino reminds them punches are illegal under these rules. Mat wrestling instead, Máximo working to armdrags and his spin. Escorpion knocks him right down. Escorpion kicks Máximo in the corner, Máximo flips him to the apron, Escorpion slaps Máximo, Máximo blocks the turnbuckle smash and gets one of his own. Maximo stands on the top rope, looses his balance, drop down to the ring, then steps out to the apron and armdrags them both to the floor. IF that was his backup crazy plan, the original must've been insane. Escorpion lands hard on the floor, taking the worse of Maximo's loss of balance. Escorpion is up quick enough to slap Máximo into the barricade and get in first. Escorpion goes back out and gets slapped into the barricade by Máximo, who follows with a big tope. I think they're back on track now. Replay of the dive. Amapola says Máximo has the best topes is the best. Both in and missing moves in the corner. Máximo tries for the kiss, but Escorpion shoves him way. Máximo reverse roll up with bridge for two. Máximo of the ropes, huracanrana blocked into Escorpion's sit down powerbomb one two NO. Escorpion slams Máximo and calls for the end, but spends too much time talking to the fans. Máximo is rolling away before Escorpion has gotten up – in fact, he runs up and armdrag Escorpion off the top rope. One two NO. Crowd shot of someone laughing. Máximo clothesline, one two NO. Escorpion double chop one two NO. Escorpion argues with Terror Chino, knocking him over but not drawing the DQ. Máximo blocks everything to set up the kiss, but Escorpion sneaks in for his own inside cradle - two. Máximo tries that huracanrana, Escorpion rolls thru, one two NO. Escorpion small package one two NO. Crowd chants loudly for Máximo. Máximo blocks a punch, spins Escorpion around, kiss of death, one two NO. Both back up again, Escorpion misses a clothesline, into Maximo's sit down powerbomb one two three!

Terrible in to break it up, but Rush northern lights suplexes out – kickout. Timing was messed up there because Babe Richard wasn't sure when to count. Spots to set it up worked okay.

Rush looks around, then falls down selling a foul. That was pretty obviously not a foul, but Babe Richard somehow missed it while looking right at it. He wastes no time giving Rush the match.
Rush sells the foul, then gets up and laughs at the crowd when Babe Richard turns the other way. La Mascara has no idea what just happened, even after the fact. Rush signals for him to get close enough to explain the ruse to him. Rush stops selling to smile for the camera. Rudos are unhappy. Rush does a lot of selling and stopping to pose to make it clear he's not really hurt. Terrible and Tama go after Babe Richard, but it's a bit too late. They try Rambo, but that’s not working either. Replay shows Babe Richard has a pretty good view, and apparently thinks Tama Tonga's arm can pass thru solid ropes.
