Thoughts:
It wasn't that different from the cibernetico with a lot of people coming in and out as they pleased and the action staying fast paced. They tried and it was okay enough but no one really got to go all out here. Team Mexico won but it doesn't really matter so much in the long scheme of things 

Rey Bucanero, India Sioux and Shockercito compe out. Fray Tormenta is then walked out. All four are given trophies for La Copa Bobby Bonales, which seems to be more of an award than a tournament trophy.

Thoughts: It was similar to the last two matches. It wasn't a torneo but it was kind of was worked like one. It was fast paced bout with a lot of flying and it was entertaining, but it was nothing super memorable. Neon finally did his blind double springboard moonsault again and you could tell he was nervous about doing it.

The winners hold their trophies up after.

Thoughts: MD or Tiger made the most sense as winners here. MD oddly didn't get double teamed by the heels as much as expected. I thought it worked out well and I thought they put out a good effort. MD seemed to have hurt his knee on the top rope ssp. MD's rope walk corkscrew moonsault was pretty impressive. It was a good main.

MD gets a title belt and confetti after.

Overall thoughts
: The matches were all pretty similar here with a lot of fast paced action and people coming in and out as they pleased. They all tended to blur together. It was definitely not the typical show and it had a lot of things going on. I'd say the main and the semi-main were the best bouts here. The women's match was the weakest match of the night but it wasn't terrible. There were more trophies being handed out here than at a little league baseball ceremony. I did like the show though and would give it a 6 out of 10. It was a good show overall.
