Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 16:10
Rating: fine
Notes: Gallo has his belt. Referees are the usual duo.

1: Arkangel gets much the best of Diamante to start off. Hooligan and Gallo are an interesting mix of tassels, even until Gallo gets in a late armdrag. Sagrado throws and superkicks Skándalo. TH other two rudos attack, and generally fail. Sagrado topes Hooligan. Gallo moves away form an Arkangel charge, Gallo dumps him in front of the corner, and Diamante lands the 450 splash. Gallo takes care of Skándalo for the other pin. There's on screen countdown clock until the commercials, which can't be supposed to be there.

2: Gallo gets the better of the rudos, and Arkangel teases fighting with Hooligan. They do not break up after all. Diamante makes Skándalo run the ropes a lot, which seems mean, walk up the ropes armdrag sends the rudo out, and Diamante slowly chases him around. Arkangel kicks Sagrado as he runs the ropes to start the beatdown. A lot of brawling. Diamante tales Arkangel's low blow elbow drop for one pin. Sagrado get Hooligan's low blow dropkick, and Hooligan finishes Gallo.

3: Rudos still in control. They start untying masks, and almost pull Gallo's clean off.. wait, now no almost to it. Gallo falls forward, and the mask falls off. That should be a DQ, but the rudos do distract the referees while the rudos give Gallo back his mask. doesn’t appear to be on right, but they don't want Gallo to actually see as they kick him. Sagrado shortly after avoids a corner charge to start the comeback, culminating with Gallo giving Hooligan two quebradora con giros. Gallo goes for Hooligan's mask, and almost gets it despite the warnings of both refs. Its' the rudos who stop him. Hooligan rolls thru a Gallo 'rana, and now ti's the técnicos making the save. Chop fight ends with Gallo missing a dropkick, and Hooligan slapping Gallo right into the rudo corner for stomps. Corner whip the other way, Sagrado flips Gallo to safety, kicks Hooligan down, and Gallo planchas the other two. Double chop on Gallo goes wrong, and Diamante gets the other two with another plancha. Hooligan misses an elbow drop, splashes on everyone, and rudos kick out form the triple cover. Técnicos all dropkick the rudos, double tope, with Gallo bailing out and Hooligan coming in. One referee goes to check the guys on the floor, Samurai staying in to see Hooligan spinebuster Gallo. Hooligan stomps Gallo twice, then reaches down – and pulls of his boot! Boot to the head! Boot the head! And three more times! Hooligan starts to put on a figure four, spins the wrong way, spins the right way, and gets small packaged one two three.

Gallo won't let go of the pin for a while and argues with Samurai after the ref breaks it up. Meanwhile, Sagrado gets the boot, and smacks Hooligan with the boot a few times. Gallo threatens to throw the boot the crowd, and then hits Hooligan more with the boots. Ref has to put a stop to this violence. Técnicos get there arms raised, and then it looks like Sagrado is going after the other rudos with the boot as they cut away.

Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 12:41
Rating: rote
Notes: Referee is Loco. Rey Bucanero is freaked out about seeing Máximo AGAIN. I guess he thought Máximo left.

1: Máximo and Rush exchange high fives. Then Máximo and the ref do. I'd be concerned if I was the rudos. Negro talks trash to Máximo, then decides to leave the ring. Máximo never stands of that. Does Máximo have a tail? It appears so – black with a pink ending. Eventually, Rush and Bucanero start. Chants are very clearly to understand this week. Rush/Bucanero is standard. Negro/Máximo can't get going until Bucanero confirms Máximo does have a tail, and then it's Negro trying to keeps it serious and Máximo trying to be Máximo , then Negro changing his mind to be silly when he has the advantage. Bucanero gets in the outside cheap shot to start the beatdown. Rudos whipped into each other, and set up in a double submission for the finish. Rudos take their time letting go.

2: Rudos stay on the offensive between falls. Negro seems in a sour mood. Rudos are fans of double boots. Rudos put their heads down an hour too soon to set up Rush kicking only one of them. Bucanero is not touched, but misses a clothesline on Rush and gets kiss cradled by Máximo for one pin. Rush gives Negro a backs suplex, a double stomp, and easily covers Negro for the pin.

3: Ring girl is shown in slow motion. Why not. Negro Casas threatens to walk out to get away from Máximo's sexual harassment, but a good chop fight with Rush convinces him to stay. Showcases for Rush and Máximo, with Negro trying to grossly kiss Máximo and Máximo sneaking away in time. Máximo and Rush both do dives off the apron, though Rush is missed. Máximo gets in another kiss on Rey, but Negro dropkick the técnico and finishes him, while Bucanero does something to rush we're not shown, then submits him.

Replays, though they never capture the Rush stuff. Oh well.
