Match 1: Eléctrico & Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Olímpico & Pierrothito
Arena Mexico, 07/12/2013
técnicos
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 9:01
Rating: ok/good
Notes: Referee is Tigre Hispano. Usually opening match edited bit.
1: Rudos are already pounding on Eléctrico. Eléctrico fights back, rolling off Pierroth to headscissors Olímpico, then setting up Dragoncito for an armdrag on Pierrothito. Dragoncito is too fast, avoiding a roll thru sunset flip dropkick, and Eléctrico comes in with a springboard elbow dropkick to the chest. Dragoncito gets his submission for the win.
2: Very obvious edit to start. Olímpico gets caught in the ropes and dropkicked hard to the floor. He hits head hard on the floor, and Pierrothito checks on him rather than continue. Eléctrico pulls off his fireman's carry escape headscissors on Pierrothito. Olímpico and Dragoncito do a lot of drop downs, and then Olímpico just slaps Dragoncito down. A spear follows, and I guess the rudos are in control now. Rudos do whip Dragoncito back to the técnico corner, while Eléctrico is not ready to do his plancha. He does land it, but gets punched in the nose by Olímpico soon after. Pierrothito trips up Eléctrico and elbows him in the back. Rudos are in no hurry. Eléctrico fights off the rudos long enough o land a dropkick, but gets press slammed by the rudos, and Pierrothito submits him. Olímpico and Dragoncito aren't on the same page on Olimpico's finish, and it looks even more painful as a result.
3: Rudos start with double teams, with an elaborate set up to what amounts to a double dropkick on Dragoncito. Pierrothito messes with Eléctrico to set up an Olímpico cheap shot. Pierrothito weirdly does a 619 on Eléctrico, than a splash back in. Olímpico dropkick Dragoncito out. Eléctrico blocks a Olímpico punch and clotheslines him for a two count. Beatdown is just over like that, and Eléctrico starts counting everyone Olímpico does. Spinning armdrag to headscissors send that rudo out, only for Eléctrico to get speared by Pierrothito. Pierrothito sends Olímpico out with a casadora cradle. Dragoncito comes in, yells, escapes a bit, and spinning armdrags out Pierrothito the other way. Dragoncito says a prayer, runs, and is tripped up by Olímpico. Dragoncito complains it to the ref (to kill time) while Olímpico gets the apron. Olímpico smashes Dragoncito into the top buckle and planchas in himself. Olímpico off the ropes, into a Dragoncito inverted escuedo, and Olímpico submits. That was sudden.
Pierrothito immediately drops Dragoncito with an inverted Michinoku Driver, and submits him.
Pierrothito poses, and Eléctrico surprises him from behind with a dropkick. Casadora, but Pierrothito escapes in time. Pierrothito miss a clothesline, Eléctrico kicks him in the side three times, Pierroth catches his leg, Eléctrico turns into a casadora and a hold, and that's it.
Infierno en el Ring promo for next week. And 55 days until the Anniversary show.

Arena Mexico, 07/12/2013
técnicos
Winner: técnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 13:16
Rating: below average/okay
Notes: Referee is Babe Richard. Monito is with the técnicos.
1: Dragon Rojo & Shocker start with a three minute hold versus hold battle that just ends with Dragon Rojo walking out. Azul and Ephesto last until an Azul dropkick, with Mephisto coming into stick up for his friend with chops. Mephisto taunts Máscara, and kicks him as he comes in, but Mascara flips Azul to safety and takes over. Mascara gets kicked down, does his usual headscissors and tope comeback. Shocker takes Rojo down, goes for a hold, Rojo kicks him off, Azul splashes Rojo. Ephesto elbow drops Rojo by mistake, Shocker goes right back to finish his hold, and Azul slams Ephesto instead of doing his hold.
2: Showcase for Shocker to start, including the stunner/partner mis-aimed dropkick bit. Obvious clip to the middle of Azul's run. Ephesto goes a long way on a Azul monkey flips. Unsurprising bit where Azul gives Rojo a quebradora, they both get up looking at each other, Rojo slowly walks backwards away, and then they just stop. No one knew what they were supposed to do. Mascara lands the rolling dropkick on Mephisto, but chases him out to the rude side, and gets knocked in to the crowd by the rudos. Dragon Rojo takes over on Shocker ad works in his spots, submitting Shocker. Shocker is actually giving up when Mephisto runs in to kick him, 'breaking' the hold according to Babe Richard. Rojo never lets go and we all just have to wait for Mephisto to leave before the submission is counted. Mephisto goes on to go after La Mascara's mask.
3: Rojo kicks around Dragon Rojo while his partners go after Mascara. Azul reappears as the rudos regroup, which is good for them all attacking Azul at once. Everyone stomps Shocker. Mascara ducks a double clothesline, but Mephisto pulls him out anyway. Ephesto's normal tope only hits Mephisto though, and now the rudos are really in trouble. Rojo fights Azul and Hocker at one, and that doesn't last. Quebradora, big boot to the face. Azul decides a kneeling surfboard is the best way to take advantage, and Ephesto returns to break it up. Ephesto gives Azul the shoulderbreaker. Shocker breaks it for the half crab, Mephisto breaks it and both the rudos chop Shocker. Mephisto wipes up Shocker's mesh shirt, which causes Shocker to cover his chest like Máximo. Announcers are amused. Shocker evades a corner charge, Ephesto takes the knee bump out, and Azul gets in his dive. This I just a lot of people getting in stuff. Mephisto kicks Dragon Rojo by mistake, Shocker quebradoras Mephisto and pescados Rojo. Mascara and Mephisto in to finish it. Mascara superkick, top roll into a - no, Mephisto breaks free before the hold. Mascara kicks Mephisto, suplex into a slam, that's it. Mephisto sold that move like it was death.
Only Shocker gets to talk in the post match.

Match 3: Blue Panther, Rush ©, Super Porky vs Averno, Negro Casas ©, Rey Escorpión
Arena Mexico, 07/12/2013
rudos
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 6:58
Rating: ok
Notes: Joined in brawl, with the usual rivalries at the start and the técnicos getting the better of it. Referee is Tiger Hispano. Zacarias is with the rudos.
1: Rush takes off Negro's head with a superkick. The rudos suddenly and randomly turn it around brawling. Panther and Rush each take down their rivals for punches with the rudos regrouping. Rudos crew up with Rush in, and Negro's left along against his rival, which goes badly for him. Chops, kicks, invisible football booted. Negro avoids a corner charge to knock Rush down and stomp him in the head many times. Negro manages to headbutt Rush off the apron, almost falls off himself, but recovers and lands a high speed silla. Rey Escorpion scoops Porky up, holds him there for a few seconds and lands a senton for the win, while Averno manages to submits Panther
Negro gets in another apron silla. Rudos pause only to get their hands raised, then go back to beating up the técnicos.
2: Escorpion & Porky and Rush & Negro brawl around the outside. Averno stretches Panther around the ropes. Averno takes Panther out as the others come in, and Rey Escorpion awkwardly dropkicks thru the ropes to get Panther. This look bad, so they replay it. Rudos oddly back off, and Rush and Porky fight 2 on 3 successfully for a moment. Rudos turn it around. Escorpion backdrops Porky. Rush turns it around and stomps Negro down, while ignoring Escorpion hitting him. Negro uses Tiger Hispano as a shield, Rush moves nearly hits Tiger Hispano, Hispano cover sup, and Negro fouls Rush twice before covering. Hispano counts, and that's it.
The other four guys keep fighting, oblivious. To be fair, Tigre Hispano doesn’t raise anyone's hand and no music plays, so how are they to know. Técnicos turn it around. Porky throws a lot of punches that stop right at Escorpion's chin.
Rush tells everyone he hates them and tells them to listen. Rush promises to get revenge next week. Backstage, Negro points out he win and he knows what he's doing.
