Invasors are cheaters

Ángel Azteca Jr. vs Súper Comando in a lightning match : Just a brief unnoteworthy lightning match, never really got going anywhere. Super Comando always feels like he should be a tag wrestlers and nothing here really changed that. Angel Azteca is not getting a new gimmick or a trip to Japan any time soon.

Black Warrior, Blue Panther, Hijo del Fantasma vs Mr. Águila, Olímpico, Psicosis : standard match trying to do a big finish that didn’t seem to be earned. This match felt like it went long (and I guess it did given how show the main event went), though it was short by normal standards. Warrior still seems to be in caring mood, Fantasma does not.

Diamante Azul, La Máscara, Máscara Dorada vs Negro Casas, Terrible, Último Guerrero : if the referees and wrestlers decide to work the match with a different captain than was planned, and this takes place eight days before it airs, how come they can’t fix the graphic to show the correct captain? It does not to seem that hard, and could at least cover up some of the sloppiness. Laughably rushed match, to the point where I’m not sure if the fans would’ve felt more defrauded if the match didn’t actually happen.
