Galavision has a new logo. It's unnecessarily giant and imposing. Announcers are with a lot of Halloween attired kids.
Match 1: Delta vs Skándalo in a lightning match
Arena Mexico, 11/02/2012
Winner: Delta
Match Time: 7:40
Rating: bleh
Notes: Referee is Tigre Hispano. Reyna Isis is in Skandalo's corner.
Delta's mask seems loose from the start; he keeps readjusting it. The first two minutes of opening don't amount to much. Delta headscissors Skándalo out, only to be whipped into the barricade. Skándalo brings Delta into a backdrop, and Isis helps hold Delta for Skandalo's dropkick (but then she lets go and Delta kicks at her. Dropkick still works.) Isis helps again for another low blow dropkick. Delta turns it around on a corner whip, armdrags Skándalo out, and follows with a tope con giro as the match reaches it's five minute mark. Back inside, a middle rope armdrag is good enough or a two count. Skándalo misses a kick to hang himself in the ropes, and Delta double stomps him free. Delta yells to the crowd, the crowd does not yell back. Delta barely moves Skandalo off the ropes to cover, and can not get three. A Skándalo powerbomb gets two. A Delta sunset flip gets two. Delta drops Skándalo in front of the corner, set up, and moonsaults. It connects, as much as it ever does, and it gets the win.

Match 2: Dark Angel, Estrellita ©, Luna Mágica vs La Comandante, Princesa Blanca ©, Princesa Sugheit
Arena Mexico, 11/02/2012
técnicas
Winner: técnicas (2-1)
Match Time: 12:04
Rating: eh
Notes: Estrellita is dressed up like a Devil. Princesas are in funeral garb and Blanca has her face painted like death. Referee is Edgar.
1: Sugheit and Dark Angel seem to be moving two different paces until Dark Angel stops it to dance, and things improve from there. Estrellita and Blanca are next, Blanca eventually rolling backwards into a Estrellita dropkick. Tecnicas rush Blanca – Dark Angel jumping o the back legdrop, Luna missile dropkick, Dark Angel running splash one two three! Team work earns them a surprisingly easy win.
2: Comandante throws Luna around, Luna fights back with armdrags and by avoiding the splash. Luna dropkicks Comandante a couple times to send her out. Estrellita doesn't last long with Blanca, dropkicked out quickly. Dark Angel is shoved into the ruda corner. Sugheit drags Dark Angel around by her hair, then front suplexes her strongly. Comandante swings Dark Angel around 3 times. Comandante chokeslams Estrellita and Blanca as happy to try the pin, but Estrellita makes it up in time. Blanca throws the tecnica by her hair. Drop toe hold, kick to the chest for Luna. Sugheit spinebusters Dark Angel, then slams Mágica and elbow drops her repeatedly. Sugheit finally finishes dark Angel with the over head spinning hammerlock. Match derailed because Edgar doesn't approve of the tag, great. Comandante comes in illegal, is sent back out, Sugheit kicks a but more, and Comandante comes in legally to finish it.
Estrellita, not pinned this fall, is shown messing with the straps on her top. They appear to have been broke. After the replays, Estrellita runs out from the back with a black shirt on over her top. This unfortunately distracts Sugheit from parading the ring card around – she drops it in the fight, and the edecan is very confused. Security just tells her to go to the back and someone ringside grabs it.
3: Rudas brawl and beat up the técnicas. Blanca splashes Estrellita with the sort of half hearted intensity you'd expect for a miss, only Estrellita doesn't move. Estrellita is whipped back in the corner, and Comandante does not have that hesitation. Dark Angel is pinwheeled by her hair. Estrellita is knocked in the tecnica corner, and the rudas whip her back again. This time, Blanca goes all out on her splash but misses, and that starts the comeback. Rudos hit each other to set up the técnicas, include a bit where Dark Angel leaps off Luna's back to dropkick Blanca out. Dark Angel leaps off the apron, but into Sujei's kick. Luna just sort of fade away for a moment, then dropkicks Comandante off the apron after Estrellita flips her out. Luna Asai moonsault is mercifully presented by Comandante. Estrellita tries to finish Blanca, Blanca escapes, evasion, Estrellita tries a torito, Blanca drops her with a spinning powerbomb, and it's over.

Match 3: Último Guerrero vs Rey Escorpión
Arena Mexico, 11/02/2012
COR Rey Escorpion (2:09)
Winner: Ultimo Guerrero
Match Time: 9:38
Rating: good
Notes: Rey Escorpion tries to jump Ultimo Guerrero, but UG has that one scouted and boots Escorpion as he charges. Guerrero chops and kicks Escorpion to the ring. Ref is Tiantes.
1: Rey Escorpion chops UG down as he comes in, stomps him a few times, and gives a big running kick to the face. Escorpion chops UG into the corner. Corner whip, Rey Escorpion rams UG into the opposite corner. Corner whip, Escorpion charge in, UG flips him to the apron and chops him down. UG wastes no time, sliding dropkick sends Escorpion to the floor. Guerrero runs again – TOPE connects, running Escorpion back into the barricade. UG quick back in – slingshot tope con giro! You don't see that often. UG back in in a hurry again, and going up – top rope plancha! This time, UG is slow up. Tirantes counts them both out, and they're both not moving much. Tirantes gets up to 19, UG dives back in, Escorpion doesn't, and UG takes the first fall by countout.
2: UG is resting on the apron, so Escorpion repays him by dropkicking him out. Escorpion tosses UG into the barricade. Back the other way. UG smashed into the barricade, and Rey Escorpion punches and kicks him. Seems like they should be in danger of being counted out here, but Rey Escorpion throws UG in, and then annoys the crowd before joining him. Headbutt. Chop. Plenty of time between moves. Whip, reversed, UG spinebsuter, he tries for Pulpo Guerrero, but Rey Escorpion reverses it and puts it on himself.
3: Rey Escorpion bites at UG's mask, then tries to rip it with his hands. He and Tirantes have an extended argument about this. Scary guy's mask in the crowd covers up a clip. UG sweeps Escorpion's leg in the corner, climbs up, and misses a moonsault! When was the last time he did one of those? Escorpion covers UG and can only get two, but can get another argument with Tirantes. Both wait as the crowd gets into the math some. Corner whip, UG sits on the middle rope, Escorpion turns around to see and is not liking this. Escorpion demands UG come down, UG refuses and tells Escorpion to come up. They argue for a bit, and Rey Escorpion does come down. Rey Escorpion chops him a few times, then – oh no – puts UG on the top turnbuckle. UG pulls Escorpion to the middle rope by his hair, front superplex one two NO. The camera shaking on big moves needs to stop, it is so annoying. UG tries a crucifix roll up, still two. Another, still two. Rey Escorpion gets up first and kicks UG in the head twice, UG picks him on the third, sit down powerbomb one two NO. Escorpion up first and chopping. Slam. Escorpion stares at the crowd, who boos. Escorpion going up? This is a bad idea . Flying legdrop connects! This is a good idea! One two NO. Escorpion tries a powerbomb, UG tries to fight to a 'rana, Escorpion pulls him back up and drop him down, sit down powerbomb one two NO. Both guys are slow up. UG needs the ropes to get up, and Escorpion hammers him with a clothesline in the corner. A second , and a slap. Escorpion puts UG up top, backs up, runs, climbs up, 'rana – is blocked, of course, but Escorpion grabbed UG's mask on the way off, and UG's struggles to keep his mask on while he superbombs Escorpion. The mask comes off as the move completes, and UG has to hook it back on and adjusts the pin. It's not clear if he two one counts or one two count there, but Escorpion still kicks out, maybe helped by the delay. UG spinebusters Rey Escorpion and set up for the Pulpo, but is distracted by Dragon Rojo running to the ring. Tirantes goes to cut him off, Escorpion tries to follow UG, UG blocks and fouls him, Tirantes turns around and counts three. Dragon Rojo is throwing a fit even before the pin is counted.
Ultimo Guerrero says both Escorpion and Rojo fell to the power of the luchador otra nivel. UG had one more lesson to teach them. UG makes sure to yell at Dragon Rojo too. He's feeling good about himself.
