Notes: Announcers say hi to the people watching this show on the internet? How would they be watching this on the internet? Oh, right.

1: Veneno and La Roca work against each other for the first six minutes. YOU HAVE PARTNERS. As a trainee working against Veneno because you're not very much good yet but they've decided they like you, Roca at least doesn't try Angelico's usually bad kick. Of course, as soon as Angel and Fierro get in next, they run at each other, ducking down at the same time to accidentally ram into each other, so maybe the other matchup was better. It does pick up from there. Fierro throws himself out of the ring on a charge, but 911 drops Angel with a sort of reverse F5. Dropkick sends Angel out, but 911 turns to see Suicida running. Clothesline misses, Segura headscissors sends him out. Veneno gets in a shot from the outside to knock down Segura, then kick crotches Roca on the rope as he comes in. Rudos in charge inside and out. Corner clothesline from Roca. Three man face first powerbomb for Roca. 911 takes the shirt off Segura's back so he can loudly chop him. Veneno holds Segura on the ropes, and the Oficials add middle rope elbow drops to the midsection. Corner charges for Angel. Double backdrop for Suicida, and Fierro spinebusters and hangs him upside down for a standing knee. Still, Suicida won't give. Veneno missile dropkick. Rudos cover for one pin. Referee starts the count out, so Suicida is not the captain. Top rope splash for Angel, and that'll do it. Immediately to break.

2: not shown

3: La Roca starts off with a Strong Man segment against the Oficials (though Strong Man matches are generally laid out better, waiting to do the surprising agile spot at the end of the match instead of the headscissors that's randomly thrown in here.) Highlight of the Veneno/Suicida exchange is Veneno's punch clearly going over Segura's head (not even ducking), and Suicida flopping to the mat like he's been hit in the chin. Announcers are amused. Suicida then blows his headscissors spot, but Veneno finds a way to take a bump anyway. Things go much better with Fierro and 911, including a slingshot headscissors to the floor. After okay Angel and Suicida runs, Angel holds Veneno for a Suicida missile dropkick, but the técnico kicks the técnico. Veneno powerbombs Segura and picks up the clean pin. Announcers think the rudos won, but Roca continues to fight, slapping around Veneno and 911. (11 just gives him the stop sing and tries to lift him on his shoulders, but Roca won't go. 911 sneaks in a foul to get him up, then drops him in place for a Veneno middle rope senton con giro. 911 adds his own senton, and that's enough for the pin.

Match 2: Canek & Máscara Año 2000 Jr. vs Pirata Morgan & Scorpio Jr. in a relevos suicidas match
Arena Naucalpan, 04/18/2010

Losers: Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. & Canek
Match Time: 4:43
Notes: They show a shot of the match before it starts, but then skip ahead to it in progress.

Scorpio is already bleeding. He may never stop bleeding. Two guys stay in the ring for most of the time, with the others coming in to break up pins for no reasons and take their turn. Everyone vs anyone Scorpi0o almost pulls of Mascara’s mask, Canek crotches Mascara on the ropes, Pirata sends Canek out and DDTs Mascara – for two. Running neck snap, that's his move! Pirata does not cover, instead walking in front of Scorpio so Scorpio can trip him and pulls him out. Scorpio senton, one two – well, the announcers aren't sure if that's two or three, but think it might be three. Canek puts Scorpio in a bad camel clutch, but Pirata breaks it up. Canek is too quick for the others, ducking a double clothesline and getting one on him instead. Scorpio/Pirata teams falls apart soon enough, and Canek holds Scorpio in a tirabuzón for the 30 seconds it requires Pirata to recover from a clothesline. Not sure why any one want to save anyone here, or why they care who gets pinned if it's not them. Pirata trips Canek up, covers for two, gets in the running neck snap, covers for three.

Pirata and Scorpio fight, but the referee is trying to break them up. See, they're two survivors, so the match is done for them, but the announcers still believe Mascara kicked out at two and are confused. The referee gets taken down in the cross fire, then Scorpio and Pirata yell at each other over the microphone to make us interested in a match that is not happening today and maybe not soon, grinding this to a halt, killing time instead of getting us to the match we should see. Announcers have figured it out it is Canek vs Mascara, but are still confused as to when Mascara Año 2000 Jr. lost. They make up a bit about Mascara being DQed – huh?

Match 3: Máscara Año 2000 Jr. vs Canek for the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship
Arena Naucalpan, 04/18/2010

Winner: Mascara Año 2000 Jr.
Match Time: 6:25
Notes: Joined in progress.

Just complete domination by Canek. Mascara Año 2000 Jr. got as much offense on him as he did the referee. Canek attacked Mascara's arm (submission holds that allowed him to lay on the mat for a while), then got two visual pinfalls while the referee was out. Once was after Mascara Año 2000 Jr. accidentally dropkicked the ref, the other was after the ref pulled Mascara out of the ring (???) and Canek dropkicked Mascara into the ref. After the last pinfall, Mascara blatantly fouled Canek. The referee was too dead on the outside to spot it, but suddenly alive enough to dive in and make the count. Canek positioned his fall so he could put his arm under the ropes for an excuse, but Mascara Año 2000 Jr. hooked the arm to prevent it, and got the three count. (Not that they could bother get the referee into the shot.)

Break before Mascara even gets to his feet, and the show ends there.
