Rayo does a seated spanish fly on Hijo off the top and pins him. Perverso canadian destroyers Mil and pins him. Perverso double underhook drops Rayo then does a 2nd rope twisting spalsh to win the match.

I thought it was a good opener here. They kept it moving and the big moves lead to pins without excessive kickouts.  

Lightning Match - Fuego vs Prayer

 

Fuego abomdinal stretches him then Prayer reverses it. Prayers rolls back and Fuego rolls him into a pin attempt. Fuego armdrags him then Prayer shoulder throws him.

The finish wasn't that good here and it was a pretty weak way to go down. Prayer looked good here, really connecting on his various moves. It ended at about the right time here. I had a feeling Fuego wasn't losing this one as he's the bigger name.

I liked some of the aggression and pace here. They really made a lot of out some of the little things which was good. They had some of the usual issues the girls have with things not being hit clean. Reyna also seemed to have had a wardrobe malfunction which messed up the last fall.

Barb sitout powerbombs Vol for 2, then hits ataxia on him. Barb springboard splashes Vol and wins it.

I liked the main. It was pretty fast paced with a lot of action which is impressive when it's 20+ minutes long. We got a bunch of dives and it was basically what you would want out of this.

Overall thoughts: I liked the opener and main here. Fuego/Prayer wasn't that bad either and there were some parts of the Villanos tag that I liked. A good main always makes the whole show seem better than it was and that was the case here. I don't think this one is worth going to see, but I liked it more than I thought I would.
