Thoughts: It wasn't that great but Kojima started to figure out how to work as a rudo during this. That was kind of interesting. Rugido also definitely tried some strong style stuff with Koji. The heels tried here despite their limitations and the faces were more like tweeners here.

Thoughts: It died off a little in the 3rd which hurt it some. It was interesting see Mistico team up with The Guerrero's here and do some of their trademark spots. I wanted to see more Hechicero vs Ultimo Guerrero in this one. Soberano did very little here and wasn't involved in this one much at all.
Overall thoughts: There was nothing must see here. It was kind of fun to see Kojima work rudo and to see Mistico team with The Guerrero's, but nothing was on this show. It was an average show.
