Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, 11/26/2013
Winner: Cancerberos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:54
Rating: good
Notes: Referee is Loco Estrada.
1: Pairs are Sagrado/Cancerbero, Stigma/Raziel and Starman/Virus. Raziel pulls out some neat ideas on Stigma. Starman and Virus doesn’t go long before Virus kind of rolls himself out after a zero pinfall. Raziel tales over on him, for more quick falls, but Raziel turns it around, blasts Starman with a dropkick and sends him out. Stigma planchas him, but gets dropped with a big spinebuster and Cancerbero adds the over the back rolling elbow drop and tosses Raziel eon top for the pin. Rudos all stomp Sagrado, then hang him in the ropes for a triple dropkick, enough for the pinfall.
2: Rudos knock around Starman. Raziel flattens Starman with a Falcon Arrow, but can't get more than two. Rudos hold Starman for a dropkick to the face, which finally allows Starman to get free. Sagrado throws hands but can't make any headway against the rudos. Rudos try for another dropkick, but Starman trips up Virus. Starman slingshots splashes Virus, rudos try and misses elbow drops on him, and Stigma springboard splashes everyone. Rudo all up, técnicos all knock them out of the ring, double tope – Virus slides in and Sagrado chases him. Virus back elbows Sagrado, takes him down, but misses the senton. Sagrado modified cristo, and Virus gives up.
3: Sagrado headscissors and quebradoras Virus repeatedly. Stigma does a lot of rolling to set up a rope bounce headscissors, and moonsaults into an armdrag (with a lot of help from Raziel.) edit here to Starman and Cancerbero, Cancerbero barely escaping a casadora, and nearly pinning Starman after a powerbomb by putting his foot on the ropes. Cancerbero argues, is cradle for two. Cancerbero fights back with a clothesline, calls for the end, and Starman easily lifts him up for the finish. Cancerbero saves himself by escaping to a sunset flip for two. Starman chases Cancerbero to the corner, awkwardly gets lifted to the turnbuckle, and is plucked off for the Gori Special. Cancerbero holds on to Starman and nearly turns into a nudo lagunero - that was a good sequence, and enough for the submission. Sagrado and Stigma evade, Sagrado land a bulldog and a new pose. Corner for two. Cancerbero ducks a clothesline, Sagrado superkicks him out. Virus comes in to exchange slaps with Sagrado, and Sagrado spends up pulling him down by the hair. Superkick sends Virus out, and Sagrado follows with a tope. Inside, Raziel suplex reverses into a Stigma small package for two. Not actually sure who was getting pinned there. Might have been both. Stigma huracanrana for two. Raziel wheelbarrow slam, then a one legged tapatía and Stigma is done.
Místico talks very fast.
Match 2: Máximo, Mistico, Thunder vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Arena Mexico, 12/01/2013
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 10:18
Rating: below average/ok
Notes: Referee is Pompin.
1: Máximo and Negro fool around until the rudos start the beatdown. Thunder is generally terrible. Zacarias lands the 619 on Místico. Rudos turn into a no hurry beatdown quick. Felino submits Thunder, who turns over to reverse it while submitting (and taps out.) Niebla splashes Místico for the other pin.
2: Rudos love doing the splitting the legs spots on Thunder, because it's something they can give him without relaying on him to do anything. Rudos run into Maximo's backside, like for every comeback, and then good around. Comeback sequence appears to fall apart – rudos all line up as if someone's supposed to splash them, then no one does that spot – Niebla looks around for someone, then just walks away. Tecnicos quickly get cradles. Thunder gives Negro a one armed bearhug (??) then complains about his submission not being counted (when Pompin was actually totally right)
3: Negro/Mistico fight is the best part of this match so far, and it doesn’t last long (and Mistico's totally booed by this crowd.) Comedy breakup up and kiss by Niebla and Felino. Místico headscissors everyone to boos. Niebla tumbles over the rail off camera. Máximo and Niebla do Máximo and Niebla things. Thunder doesn’t get a sequence. Místico dropkicks Negro out and follows with a tope con giro. Máximo planchas Felino from of the apron. Thunder and Niebla are left, with the crowd clearly signing with Niebla. Thunder absorbs chops and chops Niebla down. Thunder kips out from the corner on a charge, poses and Niebla just fouls him.
