Leono, Retro & Valiente Jr. vs. Apocalipsis, Cholo & Raider

Apoc and Leono start us off and Leono armdrags him. More Leono armdrags and Apoc tags to Raider. Retro quickly surfboards Raider before he gets out and they don't do much in their exchange. Valiente and Cholo trade armholds Leono gets in and armdrags Apoc out then Leono runs up the ropes and armdrags Cholo. He then headscissors Raider.

Retro hits a weak flying clothesline on Apoc then flying headbutts Cholo. Valentie hits a bad spinning headscissors on Apoc then hits one on Raider. Retro takes corner clotheslines then is running kicked into the innder thigh while his legs are split. Valiente gets double backdropped then Leono gets double dropkicked. Retro hits a double clothesline on the heels then Valiente tornillo armdrags Raider before hitting a tope on him.

Retro top rope plamchas Apoc then sits on his neck and double reverse armbars him out of nowhere to submit him. Raider then submits Retro by lifting him with an armhold. Leono tope con hilos an opponent off the apron then Valiente is submitted via camel clutch by Raider for the rudos victory.

This wasn't too good at all. They didn't do much early and the stuff they did do later on wasn't that good. The submission finishes were also rushed and didn't make much sense.

Disturbio, Enfermero Jr. & Nitro vs. Arkalis, Pegasso & Stigma

1st fall: Stima uses the ropes to flip out of an armbar on Disturbio, then Dis comes back with an armdrag. Pegasso hits some armdrags on Enfermero. Arklais flips in and holds onto the bukcles but gets pulled into a small powerbomb. Disturbio holds Ark's legs open and Nitro elbows him between the legs. Pegasso then gets a 2nd rope double stomp between the split legs and is pinned. Enfermero splashes Arkalis then Disturbio meteoras him for the rudos victory.

2nd fall: Stigma takes a 3v1 to start the fall then has his legs split and is dropkicked between them. Arkalis is held up and dropkicked then Enfermero basement dropkicks Pegasso to the face. Enfermero drops Stigma with a punch then makes him go out after a pop-up and a punch. Stigma springboard crossbodies his opponents then is flipped, rebounded and double armdrags Nitro and Dis. Stigma hurricanrana's Nitro off the apron. Pegasso spinning headscissors Dis and pins him then Arklais blue thunders Enfermero for the technicos victory.

3rd fall: Pegasso takes a 2v1 then flips off the ropes to double armdrag the rudos. He then gets popped up into a headscissors on Dis then armdrags Enfermero out. Arklais spinning tilt-a-whirl backbreakers an opponent then Arkalis twisting armdrags Dis from the top. Arkalis headscissors Enfermero out. Stigma armdrags Nitro then Enfermero takes a side slam + leg drop combo. Enfermero gets lifted up by all 3 tech's then is gorilla pressed down.

The techs hit double hurricanrana's on the heels then Arkalis comes off the inside 2nd rope for a flip dive while at the same time, Pegasso tornillo's to the outside. Stigma springboard splashes Nitro and hurricanrana's him for technicos match victory.

This wasn't too bad with the faces getting lots of armdrags and hurricanrana's in before winning.

Blue Panther, Dark Panther, Panterita del Ring & Panterita del Ring Jr. vs. Los Gemelos Diablos (Gemelo Diablo I & Gemelo Diablo II), Espanto Jr. & Felino

The Panterita's del Ring and the Gemelos look identical and I'm going to confuse these guys.

1st fall: Espnato and BP do a nice armdrag and mat wrestling exchange. BP armdrags Espanto but is stomped on by the heels. PDR Jr. top rope corssbodies a Gemelo and DP hits some armdrags on Felino. The rudos 4v2 beat up on the Panterita's then Espanto top rope splashes DP and pins him. PDR Jr. gets double powerbombed and rolled into a pin and the rudos win the fall.

2nd fall: Felino teases letting DP tag out then a Diablo 2nd rope splashes DP. PDR gets ganged up on by the rudos and laid on the top rope. He then gets a splash by a Diablo. PDR Jr. springboard 450 hurricanrana's a Diablo out then DR topes the same Diablo. PDR Jr. then flips over the top and hurricanranas Espanto and the technicos grab stereo pins to win this.

3rd fall: The techs hit triple sunset flips to start this then the 3 rudos are rammged into each other. The techs then put the rudos in the star and PDR Jr. hurricanrana's someone in the middle of it. PDR Jr. top rope SSP's Espanto. The Diablos double suplex PDR then flip PDR Jr. onto him. The Diablos are rammed into each other then PDR Jr. running SSP's a Diablo and BP pins him. DP spinning hurricanrana's a Diablo then tope's him into the rails. PDR topes Felino then PDR Jr. does a unique corkscrew dive. Diablo gets an F-U out of nowhere on BP and the rudos win the match.

The ending was lame and out of nowhere. Panterita Jr. was the star here with some cool dives and the third fall was otherwise fun except for the bad finish.

Euforia vs Atlantis Jr.

1st fall: Atlantis is jumped during his entrance and slapped with his own robe. Atlantis is then ripcord slammed onto the rail. He then is thrown over the rail. Euforia lariats him and Atlatis comes back with a hurricanrana for the quick fall win.

2nd fall: Atlantis gets beat on to start. Euforia pops him up and basement dropkicks him. Atlantis top rope crossbodies Euforia then kind of gets rolled up into a powerbomb for the quick Euforia fall win.

3rd fall: Atlantis recovers outside then armdrags Euforia. He top rope dropkicks him then tope's him into the rails. They go into the crowd and Atlantis hits some chops before throwing him back over the rail. Atlantis crossbodies him from the top for 2. Atlantis gets on his shoulders and tries to roll him up but gets reversed for a 2 count. Euforia hits a big hiptoss then messes up a rebound armdrag. Atlantis tries to pin him but the ref delays it since Euforia is on the ropes.

They trade chops outside and Atlantis hits a nice powerslam when they get back in. Atlantis goes to unmask him and pushes round the ref for trying to stop him. Atlantis goes up top then is 2nd rope butterfly suplexed for 2. Euforia hits a really weird drop, like a reverse TKO. He misses a top rope swanton then Atlantis frogsplashes him for 2. Atlantis tries to run the ramp and crossbody him over the top but Euforia moves, then rips his mask. Atlantis then rips his mask and tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. He then takes off the mask and gets DQ'd like an idiot, then pushes the ref for it. Euforia wins!

Atlantis' role here didn't make sense. He was a total face for the first two falls then went heel for no real reason and got himself dq'd. The match wasn't great but it had time and would have been a perfectly fine match if not for the mask ripping nonsense.

Overall thoughts: I skipped the women's match but I thought the Stigma match and the 8-man tag were fine. The main was okay until Atlantis decided to be a heel in the middle of the match and get himself dq'd like a moron for no reason.
