He says Pedro will not have an advantage in his match and says Pedro has to wear a blindfold hood for his match. Pedro gets upset. Tonos says if he chooses not to wear the hood, he will be the only wrestler in history defeated by a blind man.

PP puts salt in his hands. Perez's dad pushes the salt into PP's face and hits him with something. Perez germans PP and pins him.

Thoughts: I'm inclined to say this wasn't the first blind wrestler match as DOGLEGS had wrestlers who had impairments, but little is known of that promotion and it is possible this was the first. It was a well worked match. Judo teaches you how to fall and most of judo's attacks are used in wrestling, so Perez was basically half-trained before even touching a wrestling ring. Pedro did a good job here. He mocked him, cheated and was just completely unlikable in every way. Perez did his part and did the best he could with it. This was a good match and this was an impressive display for both guys. Both guys should be proud of this one and Pedro showed why he's one of the best heels in the world. I didn't get why PP could take the blindfold off though and nobody forced him to put it back on.

Barbie grabs CA after arguing with him and Tito drops Barbie form behind. CA says Barbie Boy has no shame and is disgusting. He spits on him and slaps him in the face as Wizard laughs.

Thoughts: The match was so-so. It was just a lot of punching for the most part and the 2 refs kept getting involved, making it hard for this to be great. It was also a longer bout. Shane's comeback at the end though was good and him and Ricky beating up the heels was fun.

The heels bang Ricky and Shane's heads together after. Vega and Manu are sent into each other and the faces knock them out of the ring.  

Vega gets on the mic after but the subtitles can't pick up a lot of it. Vega wants Vega and Manu vs Shane and Ricky at Summer Attitude on 8/8. Ricky agrees as does Shane. 

Overall thoughts: I liked Portillo/Perez and it went better than it should have. The main wasn't as good as there was a lot of shenanigans going on as they had 2 refs. They also just mostly stuck to basic attacks and with the longer length, that was only so exciting. The finish was good though. I'd recommend checking out the first match as it's one of the first times there has been a blind wrestler and it went well. I'd give this a higher 5 out of 10 as I liked one match but didn't like the second match as well. There wasn't anything else really only here besides a Wizard Analiza segment. This was okay.
