Thoughts: It was a pretty weak match to be honest. This was not either guy's best effort and they really didn't try that much. The 3rd fall was really boring in particular. It was real disappointing especially since I actually wanted to see this match.

Esf springboard dropkicks Euf. Esf superkicks Hechicero on the ramp then Valiente comes back out. The ref is busy with Val and Euf pop-up low blows Esf. Euf then pins him and survives the match.

Thoughts: Like last week, you could really make a case for Euforia or Valiente being the winners. I guess Val would have the better case since he got the first pin. It was a longer match like it was last week and it wasn't their best work. If they went all out, they really could have made this great. The finish was not very strong here and Val ultimately returned at the end for nothing as he didn't even go after his opponents. It was watchable but nothing more and it wasn't much different than last week's match.

Overall thoughts: There were 3 matches and none of them were that great. Volador and Atlantis had a quick and disappointing showing. The main was long, slow and just not the good match it could have been. The women's match wasn't good. I wouldn't recommend this one.
