I am surprised how well this looks on my TV. Whoever's doing the stream recording of this show is doing a great job! Announcers do not get a graphic.

Notes: Ref is Loco.

1: Eléctrico gets Pierrothito in a hold, Demus breaks it up, and Pierrothito gets angry at his teammate. Técnicos do too, but that's normal. Pierrothito yells at Demus to stay put on the corner. Demus thinks about it for a second, then walks thru the ring, up the apron, and to the back. You can't talk to Demus like that! And then he comes back as they're doing holds. Electrico's distracted, and Violencia slaps him on the back to break up whatever he was trying (which wasn't very clear.) Pierrothito is annoyed again, chopping his partner. Violencia is amused, but then he AND Demus walk off. They hold hands, which gets the loudest reaction. Técnicos realize they have the 3 on 1 Pierrothito and corner him on the outside. Rudos make the save for the friend, and I guess that's how we're getting to the beatdown. This is different! Pierrothito takes a belt from a front row fan (??) and starts slapping the técnicos with it, while occasionally hiding it behind his back. Eléctrico and astral get cranked. Referee makes no effort to the belt away.

2: Giant swing/dropkick for Astral. Corner charges for Eléctrico. Bam Bam ducks under a bulldog on the other técnicos fly in with armdrag, and out with tope con giros. Bam and Demus back in, Demus misses a dropkick to hang himself in the ropes, and Bam Bam lands the guillotine legdrop (mostly) for the pin. Bam Bam gives Pierrothito a shot with the belt too.

3: Violencia also takes the belt. Everyone goes back to their corners to rest (with no belt. Eléctrico and Violencia look lost for a bit, then Eléctrico slingshot in with an overhead headscissors. Demus flattens Eléctrico with an inverted powerslam. Eléctrico turns a whip in to a spinning headlock into a spinning headscissors into a spinning – well, he might have got lost here, to Demus just decide to stop him, but Demus end up falling backwards into a crucifix roll up, but so hard he fall out off it too. Eléctrico dropkick Demus near the ropes, Bam Bam hurries up the ramp, runs back, and dropkick thru the ropes to get his rival. Pin, but only 2. Bam Bam superkick lands hard. Flipping motion. Whip, reversed, Bam Bam spin thru the ropes, Demus out, Pierrothito in, Demus rolling and flipping over him into a headscissors. Bam Bam sunset flip, Pierrothito rolls thru to land the dropkick. Pierrothito poses, and Astral sneaks up to slap him. Slap fight, with Astral not impressing these fans. Astral flipping run, flipping thru a monkey flip, and back with a spinning armdrag. Pierrothito tosses him to the apron, Astral backflips off to the floor avoid a punch (seems a bit much) and still takes Pierrothito’s plancha. If you were going to get hit anyway, maybe just take the punch. Bam Bam with a run up the ropes, surprise plancha on Pierrothito, when it looked like he was going in on Violencia. Eléctrico gets Violencia with a plancha, but his next jump just gets shoved down by Violencia. Violencia charges him, and takes a monkey flip out. Demus in – double underhook piledriver. You know it's the finish, because they start playing the music at one. Also, he killed him. Demus slips trying to climb the ropes to celebrate, oh well.

Rating: ok
Notes: Ref is Pedro El Millionario.

1: Appears joined in progress, Rafaga and Triton already on the mat. Announcers are not shy about talking about these guys previous identities. It doesn't stay on the mat long, Triton getting to the flips at the end of his exchange, and Triton going there quickly with Pólvora. He's a little shaky running up the ropes and standing onto to the top rope, so Rafaga trips him up and knocks him off on his head. Rudos beatdown from there. Triton goes high on a double backdrop. Double boot for Titan. Spinebuster/legdrop for Triton. Rudos are very content to let the técnicos come to them. Titan is shoulderblocked to the apron. Crowd chanting at each other very loudly. Rudos seem a bit distracted.

2: Rudos now annoying the técnicos, including Pólvora dragging Titan around by his mask. Rudos working at Pólvora speed. Titan is tossed back in. Triton has an even chop battle with Rafaga before Pólvora kicks him to stop that. Both técnicos whipped into the same corner. Rudos whip them to the other corner, Triton tosses Titan over the coming Pólvora but gets slapped anyway, and Rafaga grabs Titan. Pólvora chop hits his partner, and Pólvora boots Titan into a dropkick on him too. Pólvora flips Titan to the outside, but he slaps one rudo away and top rope springboard moonsault onto another. Triton drops Pólvora in front of the corner, heads up, and lands the 450 splash. Music waits for no countout!

3: Titan pulls off the handwalk, backflip headscissors on Pólvora, then back rolls over the top rope to the floor for another headscissors there. Rafaga just rams Triton out of the ring, but Triton gets back on the apron and springboard planchas him. Flip escape, armdrag, shoulderblock, Triton up the corner, double bounce armdrag. Triton almost slipped on that. Triton goes for a dive, but Pólvora stops him with a back elbow. Pólvora screams at the crowd. Rafaga comes in to help, but the rudos just set themselves up for a Titan springboard dropkick. Técnicos get ready, run, and land stereo tope con giros. Everyone back in, with the técnicos trying springboard sunset flips fro two. Rafaga and Triton almost completely blow something 'rana related, but turn it into a Rafaga sunset flip for two. Triton doesn't kickout, but the ref rules he's in the ropes. While those three are discoing that, Pólvora straight up fouls Titan. Pólvora grabs the ref, covers, and gets that three. Rafaga must've fouled Triton too, but we never saw it.

Maya in – he gets the double backdrop. Volador senton, Morphosis & Psicosis kicks to the front and back. Corner whip for Atlantis, Volador whipped in – to a quebradora. The others charge in, miss badly with the other clotheslines, and Delta knocks them over with a springboard dropkick. Maya spinning armdrag to send Volador out, and Atlantis follows with a tope. Técnicos wrap up. Delta's moonsault is well aimed this time.

3: Técnicos are ready to go. Rudos, again, are not. Mije tried to come in for his team and is so confused they send him back out. Morphosis in, chopping Maya down. Mije runs in, and hipchecks Maya while he's down. Maya over the shoulder escape armdrag, springboard reverse armdrag, jumping armdrag, and sling Morphosis out by the chest.

Armdrag, over, monkey flip sends Psicosis to the ropes. Monkey flip back the other way. Atlantis dropkicks Psicosis out, climbs up top, plancha to the floor. Morphosis runs – tope, right out of the screen. Oh well. Delta moonsault onto Morphosis. Volador tope con giro onto Delta. Maya tope con giro thru the ropes on Volador and thru the crowd. Crowd approves. Psicosis tope onto Maya. Loco counts everyone out. Fans count along. Delta makes it back in, dropkicking Morphosis back out. Psicosis in – no, Volador in. They look at each other. Volador whip, reversed, Volador quebradora. Volador runs right into Maya, who lifts him up – La Alejendria, Cerebro Driver! Psicosis rushes in before Volador back pin. Maya backs him away, but runs into the layout frontcracker. Delta in, scooping Psicosis on his shoulders; sort of Death Valley Driver, driving Psicosis hard in. Delta covers, but Morphosis blows him up with a dropkick. Atlantis grabs Morphosis and lifts him up in the Altantida, but Atlantis spins over to Volador for a frontcracker. Maya missile dropkicks Volador. Other rudos miss a clothesline, Delta a bit late for a bit off boosts dropkicks. Maya runs, toping Morphosis. Delta look for his dive, but Mije stops him! Delta runs around, looks at Mije, and kicks him down. Delta goes for an Asai, but Psicosis has plenty of time to rip him down. Psicosis in, but Delta with an Atlantis dropkick, Atlantis and Volador back in, but Mije grabs Volador. Volador charges, kicks, Atlantis moves, and Mije gets it. Volador is unconcerned, but still runs right into the Atlantida. He still has no escape for that. That’s it.
