Arena Mexico, 03/01/2013

Winner: Averno & La Mascara
Match Time: 2:56
Rating: ok
Notes: Referee is Terror Chino.

Fantasma evades, headscissors Averno out. Fantasma takes Mascara's rolling dropkick. Felino clotheslines him and avoids Averno's senton, and back elbows him down quickly. Felino rolls thru a sunset flip quick to kick Averno lightly. Averno misses a clothesline, quebradoras from Felino one two Mascara breaks it up with a kick. Whip, Felino grabs the ropes, Máscara and Averno just hits him. Double clothesline misses, Fantasma boost dropkick ends the team in black out. Felino slowly to the top for a plancha, Fantasma much faster on a tope con giro onto Mascara. Felino in, and clotheslining Mascara. Fantasma adds a dropkick to the head, but Averno breaks up the pin and argues. Mascara quebradoras Felino, looks around at the crowd, and Fantasma him with the phantom lariat. Devil's Wings on Fantasma! Fantasma stands right back up, because he's got to take a casadora from Mascara. Mascara slips putting on the casadora, but they get it worked out just as Averno gives Felino a casita. Stare down (and boos over the slip.)

Match 2: La Sombra & Volador Jr. vs Guerrero Maya Jr. & Negro Casas in a National Parejas Increible eightfinal match
Arena Mexico, 03/01/2013

Winner: La Sombra & Volador Jr.
Match Time: 1:10
Rating: eh
Notes: Referee is Edgar. No entrances will be shown for any of this, but I greatly enjoyed Negro Casas wanting to be friends with Guerrero Maya and Maya wanting nothing to do with him. Maya's been feuding with Negro Casas for years and Negro has no idea.

Volador and Negro high kick each other, Volador headscissors Negro, Negro headscissors Volador, Negro dropkick to th e knee is not really close to the knee, casita is shoved off, Sombra in with a dropkick to the knee, casita one two three. That's 0:39. Sombra mis a clothesline Maya, Maya trips him up, rolls, and quebradoras Sombra. Cover but Sombra kicks out at 1. Sombra fireman's lift, up for a moonsault, Volador pulls Maya up and out of the way for a superkick, and Maya takes the big tree bump. Volador had made the motion for his backcracker, but since Maya fell down instead, he just covers Maya for the win. One minute, ten seconds. Negro walks over and stomps Maya, though the camera pretty much misses it.

Match 3: Mr. Niebla & Shocker vs Kráneo & Marco Corleone in a National Parejas Increible eightfinal match
Arena Mexico, 03/01/2013

Winner: Mr. Niebla & Shocker
Match Time: 3:24
Rating: fine
Notes: Mr. Niebla is like twice Shocker's size in the matchup graphic. Everyone tag team is out of proportion like that, but Niebla is the most jarring. Mije and Zacarias are with their teams. Referee is Bestia Negra.

Joined with Kraneo already down and Shocker and Niebla already arguing. They work it out so Shocker slaps Kraneo into the corner, but then Niebla doesn't want to taking in when Kraneo starts fighting back. Shocker kicks down Kraneo, so it doesn't matter. Shocker does his dance. Niebla comes in and annoys Marco, then leaves so Shocker has to deal with Marco. Marc backs off. Double backdrop for Kraneo, and a big boot by Shocker to knock Kraneo out. Marco in, and Shocker tells Niebla to try. His chops doesn't seem to work. Shocker tires, and he doesn't have any more lucky. Both try, and Marco just punches out Shocker. Niebla laughs at Shocker, and Marco punches him out too. Shocker & Niebla get it together, Niebla using a testicular claw in here. And Shocker mocking Marco's dance. Corner whip on Marco remains a bad idea. Marco clears them out. Zacarias in and attacking. Marco won't fight him, but Mije will. Shocker throws Mije around, and Niebla runs Marco out to the ramp. Kraneo quebradora for Shocker and Niebla. Kraneo holds them up, and Marco's Aero Italiano only gets Kraneo, the other tow move. Niebla and Shocker hold Marco down on Kraneo for one pin, then flip over the pile to pin Marco for the fall.

Kraneo does his dance, but Marco punches him out of the ring and tosses Mije on top. I think Marco was attacked by Kraneo first, but they don’t show that part.

Match 4: Máximo & Mr. Águila vs Máscara Dorada & Mephisto in a National Parejas Increible eightfinal match
Arena Mexico, 03/01/2013

Winner: Mascara Dorada & Mephisto
Match Time: 3:53
Rating: eh
Notes: Dorada & Mephisto have split masks. Referee is Babe Richard.

About a minute of just standing around and posing for the crowd before they get started, almost longer than the entirety of the Maya/Negro match. Rapid pinfall breaks ups from there. Máximo and Aguila headscissors and top rope armdrag the opposition out, both spin and Máximo kisses Aguila. Máximo argues and asks for a fist pound. Aguila give sit to them, and they both dive out onto Mephisto and Dorada. Back in, Máximo springboard butt bump to Dorada. Mephisto slaps him, then waits on the top rope for a while for Aguila to come back over for super armdrag. Aguila stands on the middle rope, but gets pulled off by a ramp running Dorada sunset flip bomb. That's one pin. Maximo chases Mephisto up the buckles to kiss him, and just gets a middle rope Devil's wings for his trouble. That's the other pin.

Bracket update.

Notes: Averno's team has jumped their opposition. Referee is Pompin.

Whip, Sombra back with a headscissors. Averno in and kicking Sombra down, then going to the middle rope to pose. Mascara boosted sit on Sombra. Volador in and slapped down. Corner whip, Averno holds Volador by mask and bites him while Mascara argues with the ref. Volador's leg held up for Mascara to kick. Mascara running kick to the face. Whip, Volador waved by back with a double handspring, Mascara and Averno shoves him off, but it buys enough time for a Sombra springboard dropkick. Sombra and Volador start at each other, turn towards their opponents on the outside, run, and land stereo tope con giros. Averno and Volador in and playing to the crowd. Averno clothesline misses, Volador fireman's escape headscissors. Volador off the ropes, torito, one two Máscara breaks it up and has a word for Pompin. Mascara is working rudo, which is odd to see. Drop toe hold gets goofy, but Máscara still gets the casita. Sombra breaks it up. Whip, reversed, handspring cutter spout needs some timing work but someone been watching his AAA openers. Corner whip, Sombra flipped to the apron, forearm back, Sombra springboards – no, Averno trips him off the apron. Averno came out of nowhere there. Mascara adds his tope, and Sombra slide over to the barricade into the crowd. Averno back in, Volador gets him with a swing kick, looking at the crowd. Springboard in, Averno powerbombs, lifts him back up, sit down powerbomb that looks good. One two NO. Averno screams. Both slow up. Averno flipped to the apron, climbs up, Volador swings kicks him, both up top, Volador super 'rana, Sombra springboard planchas, Mascara jumps on his shoulder for a casadora, campana, and Volador breaks that up that up with a backcracker. Everyone hitting. Averno turns Volador around, Volador swings and misses, Averno Devil's Wings. Meanwhile, Mascara superkicks Sombra in the corner, but Sombra flips him to the apron and forearms him. Sombra realizes Averno has the pin in time, and pulls him off for the Brillante Driver. One two three. Mascara goes up, but Volador pulls him off for a top rope Spanish Fly one two three.

Sombra is unhappy, but then takes off his shirt and some of the fans are happy.

Arena Mexico, 03/01/2013

Winner: Mr. Niebla & Shocker
Match Time: 4:07
Rating: fine
Notes: Referee is Tirantes. The only healthy referee we haven't seen is Rafael el Maya and there's still time. Zacarias is with the rudos, not that we see him until after the match.

Team Gold boost dropkicks Shocker, who tries to roll out but is pulled back. Niebla taps Dorada on the shoulder and slaps him. Mephisto grabs Niebla, but Dorada hits him by mistake, then takes a Niebla chop flurry. Niebla dance. Niebla tease the spit, but doesn’t do it. Dorada whipped, Dorada jump to the stage, Niebla catches his spit, and and Dorada gets him with his floating headscissors. Niebla to, Dorada out with a springboard tope con giro. Shocker and Mephisto face off. Mephisto gets in a clothesline, Shocker an elbow and a sunset flip for two. Shocker casadora cradle for two. Shocker huracanrana, one two NO. Shocker puts Mephisto on the middle rope, always a bad idea, and Mephisto hooks him for the Devil's Wings. One two Niebla stops the count and slaps Niebla.

Dorada swings, ducked, and Shocker chops him down. Fireman's carry powerbomb. Shocker moves Dorada into position, goes towards the corner, and Niebla lands a top rope splash instead.

Final bracket update.

Arena Mexico, 03/01/2013

Winner: La Sombra & Volador Jr.
Match Time: 8:12
Rating: okay
Notes: Shocker & Niebla have attacked Sombra and Volador as they entered.

Announcers ask Puma who he thinks will win, and Puma takes 60 seconds to pick up Shocker & Niebla. Those two have been weakly brawling and trying to kiss someone in the front row (Niebla) in the meantime. Zacarias gets a 619 on Volador. Sombra and Volador are whipped into each other. Energy level is a lot lower than Volador & Somrab's last match right now. Niebla bops Volador on the head and yells at him, while Sombra tumbles out of the ring ring and fixes his mask. Clip of the fan who won the prize, then back to see Niebla and Shocker go face to face. Niebla settles things by licking Shocker. Corner whip, Volador bounces out of the corner and superkicks Shocker. Niebla reacts to that, turn runs into a Volador head kick. Sombra springboard dropkicks him.

Volador off the ropes, flipping run, Shocker takes him down with a big clothesline and does his pose. Crowd does not like Shocker. Shocker starts his strut and stops. Shocker off the ropes, Volador surprises him with a chop and knocks him down. Volador swings, Shocker ducks spins him around, stunner, and hold for a Sombra dropkick – that gets the wrong guy, oops. Shocker grabs Sombra, Niebla swings, and Niebla slaps down Shocker by mistake. Niebla sunset flip, reversing it so Sombra's up just in time to take a Volador dropkick. Sombra's annoyed. Volador slaps Niebla, but Niebla just dances, then knocks Volador over with a chop. Full Niebla dance, spit is caught. Shocker spears him – it comes off as for no reason on TV, but Volador moved out of the way and they just did a poor job of showing it. Shocker is annoyed, and rolled up Volador. Sombra does the same to Niebla, one two NO. Volador and Sombra start slapping at each other other, Niebla and Shocker roll them up, one two NO. Volador and Sombra are still yelling at each other. Shocker and Niebla may also be arguing, but it's lot less interesting. Everyone avoids one clothesline, then just stands there for a moment. Young guys kick down the not young guys, and Sombra topes Shocker into the barricade. Volador and Niebla left in. Niebla stops to pose on the buckles and start Niebla chants. Volador – walks down to the floor, grabs Zacarias by the head and kicks him down. That was totally unnecessary! Volador gets himself booed. Niebla kisses Volador as he comes back in. Whip, Niebla spinebuster, Niebla starts to be applied, Sombra breaks that up with a sunset flip. Sombra clothesline blocked into a Shocker reinera, Sombra slip out the back. Sombra front crocker, Volador backbreaker, Sombra jump on top one two three!

Everyone stands around looking for a moment. Sombra and Volador both kick Niebla, then argue about who gets to fight right now. They don't come to an agreement, and have to work together. Sombra tries a wheelbarrow, Niebla casadora cradle one two three.

Shocker begs for a high ten from his old friend Me. Niebla. Niebla asks the crowd many times if this is a good idea. Crowd chants for Niebla. Niebla gets distracted by the chant and turns back to Volador. Clothesline, Niebla doesn't go down. Niebla off the ropes, Shocker trips him, Niebla turns around t o look at him, Volador backbreaker one two three.

Backstage says Volador says the tournament went well, but he'd like a shot at Sombra's title after. Sombra's much more direct – they're winning this tournament, then he's getting Volador's mask. They go back and forth on this, and Sombra's the angry one this week.

Puma thanks the announcers for letting him sit in.
