What happened:

Valiente submitted Ultimo Guerrero and signaled for the belt. Announcers understood as a heavyweight title challenge.

Mephisto beat Niebla Roja to set up a title match.

Thoughts:

There was a group of boys watching the main event from near the entrance, rooting hard for Los Guerreros. They were so happy when they were winning, and then – well, they weren’t as much let down when they lost because it just meant it was time to get in position for autographs. Still, it would’ve been nice to see the Guerreros win so someone went home happy. Like every other match on this card, this main event was a sufficiently professional match, not hoping to be more or less.

Both the third and fourth matches were wrestled in low gear, never showing a significant effort by anyone. Soberano was more into taunting the rudo crowd than what was happening in the ring, and I didn’t quite blame him. Niebla Roja’s partners watching from the outside as he was being pinned to end the match and doing nothing seemed right.

No Dalys, no one more important than Metalica, so Shoko got a win for the hometown magazines. Nakajima seems alright, but I don’t know who she’s supposed to be working with her. The bis with Comandante played off the size difference well without paying off in any way. Isis had trouble taking a simple huracanrana at the end.

The opener was slow, with no special reason revealed for it being rudo vs rudo. Policeman ending up being the tecnicos if it matters. It does matter. Fuerza Chicana used to be decent and no longer is decent.
