Okumura vs Victor Iniestra

Oku lariats him then michinoku drivers him for 2. Oku back elbows him. Oku flying lariats him for 2. Oku bridging cutters him. Oku then submits him with a camel clutch.

Thoughts: It was short and fun. Onyx is unique and has a decent look. She got over some here and should be brought back. SC did her thing and was fine.

The faces drink Don Gato tequila after. CONTRA interrupts the feed and says, "Hail Contra".

Overall thoughts: We had a double episode which was disguised as one episode here. Neon/Soberano Jr. was fine. I liked Scarlett/Onyx and would be up for seeing Onyx again. Hammerstone/Ultimo Guerrero wasn't that good. Blue/Aries didn't get enough time. Mist/Temp got a lot of time and was an okay match. The main of Dyer/Mads wasn't that great. Shotzi also revived a dead Mads Krugger and we had some squashes. The show was fine as a whole but nothing too must see. I do think they need to get the lucha guys involved in more storylines and have them do more promos, because without it, they are a lot less effective. They also do need to find more American up and comers as there's only so many big indy names to go around.  I'd give the show a 6 out of 10 overall as there was enough decent stuff with the two shows combined. Had the shows been split, both probably would have been average. The show was okay overall.
