Thoughts: It was a spotfest as only it could be. We got some cool spots with RQ's handspring sitout powerrbomb being the coolest spot. No one botches too much and they didn't overdo it that bad so it was an okay opener.

They compete for cheers and shake hands. They trade waistlocks. JM trips her then rolls her around. Rosa hits shots to the head to escape and JM tries a pin on her. Rosa rolls her into a pin then crossfaces her. Rosa armdrags her for 2. Rosa pulls her by the hair.

Thoughts: I'd say it was about average. They didn't have a great flow to it. The trips outside hurt this a little and it was a not a great bout. I don't think they got some of the stuff down between the various moves and spots. Both girls also have some limits.
Mexa Boys (Noisy Boy & Spider Fly) & Briyante Jr. vs. Mala Fama (Toxin & Latigo) & Rey Horus
They totally messed up the intros for this with the Mexa Boys coming out too early. The mic cut off and there was no music for either team.
They all shake hands. and The Boys hit triple superkicks. The Boys then do triple tope con hilos outside. Lat (purple) takes a springboard reverse headscissors from Spider.

Bri 2nd rope step up top con hilo's outside. Horus enzugiri's Noisy in the corner. Horus rolling bodyscissors bombs Noisy off the top and pins him.
Thoughts: They tried but it wasn't that good. The faces were sloppy. Toxin couldn't kip up. They were clearly working together at times and it should have been a lot better than it was. Noisy came very close to dying here when he tried to moonsault off Toxin.
Galeno del Mal vs. Jack Cartwheel
JC puts his head in Mal's chest and Mal shoves him away. JC dropkicks him and lands on his feet. JC dropkicks him then Mal flying forearms him. Mal chops him in the corner.

Jack hits his arm on the landing and is hurt and injured. The match is stopped.
Thoughts: It's a shame this ended the way it did. I was looking forward to it. Jack's new corkscrew springboard 450 move always looked like a hard move to land. I hope Jack is okay. This wasn't all that much before the injury. Gal blocking Jack on all of his dives and not just selling them got a little annoying.

Loco armdrags Kzy. Kzy casadora armdrags him. They botch a spot and Loco gyrates at him. Kzy armdrags him, ducks a shot then does the worm. Kzy then dances. They shake hands and danceoff of it.

Yuki tope con hilos outside then Loco does the same. Veng does the valiente special outside (walk up the ropes blinde moonsault). Veng takes a flatliner then a canadian destroyer. Hyo 2nd rope diving cutters Veng for 2.
We get a dangerous Loco double crucifix driver. One of the DG guys lands bad on his neck. Veng cutters Hyo and Arez top rope double stomps Hyo. Logo top rope moonsaults Hyo and pins him.
Thoughts: It got enough time to play out. It was okay but nothing too special. The top rope double crucifix bomb spot was so dangerous. This was all about the flying and spots as expected.
Lucha Extrema - El Desperado vs. Vipress
There's really only one way to work these matches and it's to have the male cheat and be a jerk which turns the female wrestler into the face. We didn't get that here. It was a straight 1v1 match without them playing up size differences. They overdid it with canadian destroyers and top rope bumps through tables not really meaning all that much. I was expecting barbed wire, glass and that kind of stuff but they just stuck to doors and chairs here. And that's fine, just Despy does that kind of stuff all the time, so I don't know why he didn't do it here. The crowd wasn't super hot for this, or really anything on this show and I don't blame them. Despy won this with an angel's wings on chairs. I didn't think it was anything special.
Overall thoughts: The show was just so-so overall. The opener was acceptable. Rosa/Mexa was average. The trios match with The Mexa Boys had a lot of sloppy moments and the faces were just of their game. Galeno/Cartwheel ended early due to injury. Team Dragon Gate vs Team Gringo was the best match of the night but was just okay. The main wasn't something I was going to enjoy but it was not the bloody hardcore match with glass and light tubes that I was expecting. The crowd was also not that good here. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as half this card really wasn't that good.
