Thoughts: It was about average. I would have liked a better finish than someone getting DQ'd for coming in after they got pinned though. They put in more of an effort than they had to and it seems like this is leading to something.

Av is laid on the top of the rail and Zand dives at him there. Zand is knocked out after doing it and Av gets a 2 count. I think Zand was not supposed to kick out as they show a replay and when we return, Av has won the match.

Thoughts: It got off to a good start then ended in disaster when Zand did a dive to the outside while Av was on a rail and didn't really get back up. I don't know if Zand was knocked out legit or not but the finish got messed up and we didn't even see it in full due to a replay. Too many people are getting injured in this promotion lately.

Zand is stretchered out after.

Thoughts: This went 58:25 and felt every part of it. I have no idea why they had this go so long. They did a decent job compared to the one we saw last time but it wasn't great. It was not on the level of even some of the weaker men's ciberneticos though. They didn't embassy themselves and they did far better here than I expected. I would not recommend this one though and thought it was a long one that just went long for the sake of it.

Overall thoughts: It was a one match show and the one match was average. The semi main was okay and the Zandokan/Averno match was a disaster with Zandokan likely getting injured. The main went 58:25 and was a very long and very average match. It was much better than the last women's cibernetico but still not great. No one embarrassed themselves though and there weren't a ton of botches. I wouldn't recommend this show and had a hard time getting through it. I would just give it a 5 out of 10.
