Thoughts: It got a little sloppy towards the end but I liked it. Hech wasn't going to do all the crazy stuff Kom likes to do and kept him in check here.

Overall thoughts: 3 of the 4 matches were random here and Shibata isn't exactly the first wrestler who comes to mind when I think lucha. It was an okay show though and nothing was bad on this one. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 but you don't need to see this one. The trios match was the best match of the night.
