Virus braces his chest, gets kicked in the jaw

Review:  [ok] This was the b-show version of this possible match, with Triton doing more fake handshakes than springboards and Dragon Lee only falling on his head once. It was still smartly worked – Dragon Lee lands the kick in the second fall, misses in the third fall to set up the loss – and there were signs of a more interesting matches should they ever haver an occasion to go all out. Puma and Dragon Lee had some definite chemistry and really need to face in a singles match.

Review: [below average] this was the lesser version of what you’d expected from this match too, and it’s not a great match. Hijos del Infierno mailed this in and the técnicos weren’t going to save it. It turned into a Super Porky match because Super Porky was the only oen doing anything. Wasn’t sure I was going to get a GIF form this because there was nothing much interesting to GIF. A night off.

Mistico flips!

Review: [ok] Best match on the show, which is not saying much and probably shouldn’t say much. It was alright though short and not a lot of new to offer. Second fall finish was weird, with everyone brawling in the crowd in the sort of way they do when they’re not planning on making it back in time. It looked like it was going to be a draw until Místico snuck back in at the last second. Ultimo Guerrereo’s senton de la muerte was forced into the third fall harder than ever before, with the rudos just randomly getting back in control and sneaking in that move before the finish.
