Thoughts: I didn't like the ending to the 2nd or 3rd falls. KeMalito cheated in the 2nd fall to give Vol the win. Then the finish to the 3rd fall wasn't executed well with Hech costing himself the match. It was acceptable otherwise but the finishes stunk here.
Hech gets on the mic after and says this isn't over. He says it will continue.

Thoughts: I kind of dreaded doing this because I knew it was going to be 30 minutes. It was long and not that good. They tried but the girls aren't as athletic as the guys. There were some sloppy moments here and the flow wasn't quite there. It would have been better if it were shorter and if people like Kira got more time.
Overall thoughts: I liked the first two matches but not much else. The women's cibernetico went long and wasn't that good and there were some bad finishes in the Hechicero match. I wouldn't recommend this.
