Thoughts: It was a good lucha match. Not as good as last week's as they only had 2 falls here but we had a nice mix of technical wrestling and some flying. I could see these guys do this 10 more times and would be happy. I don't even think anyone really busted out their best stuff here.

Mist springboard twisting crossbodies him then submits him with la mistica to win.

Thoughts: I thought they did too much here with spanish flies and 2nd rope pedigrees not being enough to put either guy. I didn't really get why Av would submit him with an armbar then never really bother with it again. It's not like the work was bed though as they've done this a million times and know what to expect. Mistico really flew around with ease here in this one.

Overall thoughts: To the surprise of no one, the Xelhua trios match was the best thing on the show. Diamond got injured in his match and it fell apart in the 3rd fall. The Oku match was a lazy effort that didn't have much time. The main had a lot of time but I didn't really like the finishes to the falls as they weren't followed up on and I thought they did too much. This was just average and I wouldn't recommend this.
