Notes: Show starts with everyone in the ring. Referee is Bestia Negra.
1: Horus quickly gets Inquisidor in a hold, Bronco quickly breaks it up, and Vera chases him out. Crowd is filling in, but chanting for the rudos. The other two stay out while Höruz and Inquisidor continue on the mat for a while. Inquisidor has a unique jumping snap mare as things speed up, and holds Höruz in an armbar so Bronco can add a giant flying axhandle. Arm crank over the top rope. Stomp. One two NO. Bronco gets Höruz in a bow and arrow for a bit, and Höruz manages to fireman's slam the big man. Tag to Vera for the slingshot splash for a near fall. Two count exchanged, then one counts off shoulderblocks. Slap fight inside, slap fight outside. Bronco tells Vera to go back in, doesn’t go in. Vera runs for a dive, Inquisidor distracts him with a missed clothesline, superkick for the rudo, and a springboard plancha on the big man. Inquisidor and Höruz in, Höruz spins out of a tilt-a-whirl and turns into a bodyslam. Standing moonsault, one two three.

2: Bronco and Vera in, Bronco booting Vera to the ropes being being flipped to the apron anyway. Vera springboards out with a headscissors on the apron, which Bronco sells big. There's a sign for Enrique Vera! Family? Höruz is all sorts of too fast for Inquisidor, but the rudo slows him down with a dropkick and slaps Enrique while he's at it. Höruz comes back whit a trip bonce to the top rope, almost losing it, then jumps to the mat without actually doing anything.

3: Rudos still in control. Höruz takes a hiptoss out to the ramp. Rudos stomp a mudhole into Vera. Catapult into a Inquisidor dropkick goes well. Crowd now behind the rudos. Höruz ducks under a slow Bronco clothesline backflips off the ropes, gets grabbed by Inquisidor, and avoids Bronco's boot. Bronco kicks out his partner, and Vera boost dropkicks him out. Bad Vera tope on Bronco, nice Höruz plancha on Bronco. Replays. Bronco makes it in first, and slide dropkicks Höruz right back out. Vera in, up and over attempt is turned into a big powerbomb. Bronco pulls Vera into a nudo, and that's it.

Arena Mexico, 07/22/2011
Winner: Palacio Negro
Match Time: 8:35
Rating: good fun
Notes: Cancerbero has an extra skull and a dog mask. He really should wear that for the match, but does not. Palacio Negro is billed as a Gen2011 guy here; trying to bring the average up, I guess. Ref is Rodolfo.

Match Time: 11:18

Notes: La Comandante is with the rudos. Averno has no title, but has a smirk. Ref is Babe Richard.
1: Fantasma, very yellow, immediately armdrags Bucanero around and drops him with a quebradora. Rey backs off, and then exchanges zero trips. Tags, and Mascara and Averno are in already.

Rush takes the dropkick off the apron that everyone's so fond of lately. Fantasma is slid out on his chest. Mascara sneaks in and superkicks Averno, but the rudos get control of the situation. Three man press lift for Mascara, and Babe Richard cuts them off from throwing Mascara out. No problem, Comadante just walks in the ring and helps press Mascara out the other side! That's a DQ. Rush and Fantasma sort of catch, sort of get taken out by Mascara, but Babe Richard walks out to raise Mascara's arm.

Monito looks down on the count, with both Fantasma and Alexis checking him. Averno tosses Máscara out on the ramp, the better to pose and look at the crowd before hitting him. Double boot for Fantasma. Averno tosses Mascara back in the ring, and sets him up for Bucanero's rolling senton, which connects less than usual. Corner charges for Fantasma, leading to Bucanero slingshot frontcracker. Rush right in, and punched down by Terrible. Rush held on the ropes a bit and hit, more held that hit.

Arena Mexico, 07/22/2011
Guerreros
Winner: Guerreros (2-1)
Match Time: 10:53
Rating: eh
Notes: Peste Negra enter as a group, with Naito wearing a wig and a Peste Negra shirt and dancing along doing his eye pose. Garza very técnico in his outfit and his prematch pose. Guerreros enter together. Joined with the Guerreros attacking Peste Negra. Tirantes is ref.
1: Crowd chanting for the rudos, which, of course, who else are they going to chant for here? Guerreros get to isolating their opponents quickly. Atlantis does the flying sit onto Negro, and Garza slams Casas on the apron. Naito and Niebla are whipped into each other. Triple faceslam for Naito. Rudos dropped together on the mat for the triple submission. Zacarias watches this from a safe distance. Atlantis punches and stomps down Negro after the fall, which confuses Garza enough to put a stop to it.
2: Running kick to Naito's face as the beatdown goes on. Niebla dropped in the corner for the senton de la muerte. Negro drops Atlantis with a dropkick to the knee on a corner charge and slaps him down. Garza rushes in and takes care of Garza, while Naito is a little behind on UG. Quicker to finish those – twisting moonsault gets the pin, Niebla finishes Garza with a half crab/armbar.
3: Niebla & UG end up starting, while his partners seem to have a minor argument behind him. Niebla showcase, escaping a monkey flip, doing the old teeter tooter reversal spot into an armdrag. Garza sneaks in and drops him, but ends up with a faceful of Niebla's backside and a clothesline. Niebla dance! Spit is caught! Garza misses a corner charge and gets bit on the backside, but does get a font row woman to rub it. Atlantis can't clothesline Niebla down, can take backside big slap. UG vs Naito in a chop fight, though UG does make Naito take off his shirt first. Naito ends up begging off, but escape a corner charge and armdrags UG. Off the ropes reversal lead to Naito's surging clothesline, and his imitation of the Niebla pose. Negro in, wanting Atlantis, getting Atlantis. Atlantis now wants a handshake, and Negro wants nothing to do with that. So Atlantis leaves, and UG comes in to exchange chops. UG wins by sneaking in an eye poke. Off the ropes, shoulderblocks, Negro doesn't go down. UG off the ropes, clothesline, Negro is bent back but wont' go. Crowd shot. UG is a bit annoyed, but the crowd is behind Negro. UG clothesline, Negro back bends under and lands a clothesline. Garza in, but Negro still wants Atlantis. Negro shoves Garza, Garza checks his pecks, Garza shoves Negro down. Negro kick, headlock, shot off, back with a shoulderblock, and Garza won't go. Negro kicks him again, off the ropes, Negro shoulderblocks him down, and kicks Zacarias down while he's at it! What a jerk. Garza of the ropes, Negro lights him up with kicks and clotheslines him down. Atlantis finally in to face Negro. Negro kick, DDT, Kick to the head, and Atlantis is right out. Negro out after him, but Atlantis hides around the post so no dive. UG in and knocking down Niebla. Whip, charge, Niebla moves, UG take the knee bump out, and Niebla follows with a moonsault. Atlantis with a quebradora for Naito, Garza kicks Negro as he comes in, Naito clothesline misses, Garza moonsault bodyblock on him, Atlantis on Negro, that's it. Atlantis recover Ultimo Guerrero to get his arms raised. Garza keeps his distance.
