Thoughts: This was absolutely nothing of note here. It was very one-sided. The faces didn't fly much at all and this was very clearly a match put together at the last minute. This was disappointing. I thought for sure they'd go all out to try and make up for Mist being out. 

The announcer then closes the show. 

Overall thoughts: Usually a show gets better as it goes on. This was the opposite of that. The opener was the best bout of the night in my opinion and Los Pantera's match was a close second. The second match with Meyer and Astro was alright alright but did drag a little in the 3rd fall. The girls tried in the 3rd match but it was average. The semi main was heel dominated and lazy. Xelhua didn't do his fancy holds and the heels did the basics. The main was rushed and did little to make-up for Mistico not being able to make it. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and it would have been lower if the undercard didn't bail out the top guys here. I wouldn't recommend this one and would say it was average.
