Aramis and Latigo start off. Latigo flips him off on the handshake then Aramis does a tilt-a-whirl armdrag that is reversed. Aramis rotates around him and rolls him up then they do a stand off with Latigo flipping him off. Arez and Rey go at it. Arez escapes the hiptoss with a roll then Rey does a nice armdrag.

Rey is caught into a double powerbomb esque move then Laredo top rope splashes Rey. Aramis takes a 1v3 then is belly to belly suplexed into the buckles. He hangs there and Latigo splashes him as he hangs then Arez uses the ropes as a base to moonsault onto him from. Galeno then takes a 3v1.

Galeno is triple gorilla pressed and slammed then all 6 men brawl. Laredo's team takes triple super kicks then Galeno top rope crossbodies all 3 of his opponents. Aramis is hiptossed by his partners over the top onto his opponents then Rey is thrown over the top by his partner onto opponents. Galeno then tope con hilos onto all of his opponents. Galeno rolls Laredo into a knee and Arez flips off of Galeno before hitting enzugiri's and a basement dropkick. Aramis hits an air raid crash on Arez then Latigo slingshots into a backcracker out of the suplex position. Rey tornado ddt's Latigo then takes a tilt-a-whirl backcracker from Arez. Laredo brings in a chair in and hits Galeno with the ref not caring.

Galeno is seated on the top rope then holds Latigo while the faces hit stereo dives outside. Galeno then does a spinning neckbreaker on Latigo off the 2nd rope and wins it.

No DQ's for the chairshots were just bad reffing. The match was fun with the crowd really liking Galeno. It was very hectic and fast paced. Not a classic or anything, but enjoyable.

Money is thrown in the ring after and collected.

Hyper Misao, Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Yuki Kamifuku vs. Free WiFi (Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta), Miu Watanabe, Raku & Rika Tatsumi 

Misao greets everyone on the mic and introduces herself as a superhero. She says she can beat all of her opponents by herself because she is a hero. Misao tries to get a chance started then her opponents clear out her partners and all of them beat up on her.

Mizuki suplexes Raku then top rope double stomps her for the win.

It was shorter match where everyone got a little in. They kept it at a fast pace and people would hit something then tag out. Not a classic or anything and it really wasn't meant to be as it was just a showcase.

Ultimo Dragon vs Negro Casas

Negro grabs his chin and gets tripped. Ultimo chinlocks him and crucifixes him. Ultimo headstands and takes him over with a twisting headscissors twice. Ultimo lets go of the headscissors and they stare down. Negro takes him down and armbars him. Ultimo then surfboards him and Negro gets out.

Negro goes up top then is superplexed. They trade chest slaps then Ultimo draogn sleepers him. Ultimo makes him pass out quickly and wins it.

I'm not going to dig into these guys too hard because they are legends, but I don't think it was their best effort and it wasn't too good.

Irie shoulders him over then takes kicks. Irie forearms him on the floor then takes a flying kick. Mike running facekicks Irie then does a vader bomb style double knee for 2.

10 on the creativity. 10 on the athleticism. 0 on the logic. 0 on the selling. This was a wild spotfest with some insane moves. That's all it was though and it resembled a gymnastics competition more than anything else.
