Thoughts: It was a good opener here with lots of flying and quick action. I didn't like the finish that much and didn't think it was necessary as they were having a good match. 

Galaxy makes a mask vs mask match challenge after and Angelito makes one as well. They seem to set up a hair vs masks match but this is lucha and I doubt it'll happen.

They did some dives here and Malito had some fun being a jerk to Monito. Monito spearing Malito between the ref's legs was a fun spot and this really went about as well as it could. I enjoyed this one.

Thoughts: The first half of this was really good and very athletic. They put a lot of thought into it it and did stuff they normally don't do. I didn't like the second half of it though. It just went on too long, they didn't sell that well and the finish of V3 hitting a move and Flip just no selling it and pinning him was dumb.

Thoughts: It was a decent main here. These guys know what they were doing and it was never going to be awful as long as they tried and got some time. The third fall was the best part of it with the faces getting all their offense and dives in. I didn't like the mascots being able to interfere though.

Overall thoughts: I liked the show as a whole. The opener, midgets match, the semi-main and main were all fine. The midgets match was my favorite thing on here and was a spectacle as expected. It was a good show and I'd give this one a 7 out of 10. I'd recommend this one.
