Freesbe and Oro Jr. vs Apocalipsis and Ramstein

The Rudos took the first fall with La Escalera and a pin.

Ring girls during the break

The technicos got the win in the two pictures above with a moonsault and a knee hold. Rough 2nd fall as Ramstein got lost somewhere and was supposed to interfere but couldn't remember where.

The rudos took the 3rd fall with a german and a dropkick from the pendulum position. The match was so-so. The crowd hated Freesbe for some reason and there was just nothing that really stood out. Nothing was too outright bad, but nothing to make it stand out either.

Mini's - Aereo, Astral and Ultimo Dragoncito vs Demus 3:16, Mercurio and Pequeno Olimpico

The technicos got the first fall with a hurracanrana pin and a cruceta.

Pequeno Olimpico fouled Dragoncito for no reason to lose here. The match was fine, but nothing special at all and the finish was horrible. I hate those stupid foul finishes unless one team obviously is going to beat the other. Even though Demus 3:16 was a rudo here, he seemed to be more effective as a face than Dragoncito.

Diamante, Fuego and Sagrado vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Hooligan and Skandalo

 

The technicos take the first fall

The finish to the 2nd

Skandalo got the win in the 2nd with a dropkick to the nuts.

 

The finish

Fuego got the pin in the 3rd to take the win. Not a really good one here. Little crowd heat or sympathy for the faces and come on, Fuego did like one dive total. I was definitely hoping for alot more here. Not a fan of the nut shot fouls either.

Angel de Oro, Blue Panther and La Mascara vs Shigeo Okumura, Namajague and Vangelis

End of the 1st

Boring 1st fall here with not much happening before everyone jumped in and Mascara got the pin.

The rudos put Mascara's shirt over his head

The rudos then got the second with a Northern Lights Suplex on Blue Panther.

The finish

The technicos for the third fall with stereo rocking horses and nudos'. The third fall was the best out of all of them with the heels getting into it and some decent dives. Other than that though, I wasn't really into this one. They focus way too much on interviews with the ring girls than the matches here.

Mascara Dorada, Mistico II and Titan vs Averno, Ephesto and Mephisto

The rudos took the first fall with a delayed sit out pedigree on Mistico II.

The finish to the 2nd fall.

The technicos got the win when Titan put a Rito Romero Special on Averno. Very good match here with a great third fall. Tons of high flying and I loved how they brought out the star for the finish. This is exactly what I like about lucha and what I've been wanting to see. Really good stuff with the rudo's being nasty and the technico's flying around. This is definitely worth a look for the third fall. Rating:***1/2

Overall thoughts: Skip it except for the main. That's all you need to see.
