We open with a recap of the Johnny Mundo-Dario Cueto feud, and Cueto's confrontation with the woman in black over Matanza.
1. Son of Havoc (w/Ivelisse) vs. Angelico.
Matt Striker name-checked Shaun & Steve Simpson, World Class stars from South Africa in the 80's, and Col. DeBeers (who was really an American), but no mention of recently cut WWE talent Justin Gabriel. Hmmmmm. Ivelisse cut a promo ripping the fans for calling Son of Havoc, her boyfriend, a "loser". Well, guess what? He has been on a losing streak in subsequent appearances after cheating to beat Sexy Star opening night. It's called karma. Good opener, and SOH opens up a little more babyface offense. Dueling chants from the fans, though Striker & Vampiro seem to think that it's all for SOH. Not quite. Ivelisse got involved one time too many, and it proved costly, as Angelico forces a collision on the apron, then schoolboys SOH for the upset.
Winner: Angelico.
As Angelico picks up his 1st win, Ivelisse berates SOH and leaves without him. And this is so close to Valentine's Day. Sheeesh.
2. Pentagon, Jr. vs. Famous B.
Pre-match, a video feature on Pentagon played, talking up how he's merged martial arts with wrestling. Nice. Pretty much a squash, as Famous got next to nothing on offense. Pentagon slapped on the kimura, as identified by Vampiro, and Famous tapped. Pentagon, continuing his impersonation of Brock Lesnar, "broke" Famous B's arm post-match.
Winner: Pentagon, Jr..
Pentagon cut a promo referring to a mysterious master. Hmmmmm.
3. Aerostar vs. Drago.
Total babyface match. Awesome stuff, and air traffic control should've been on full alert, especially after the opener. Drago scores with a blockbuster-DDT combo to pick up the win.
Winner: Drago.
Catrina has a warning for Fenix, suggesting a rematch with Mil Muertes is nigh. Earlier, Cueto welcomed back Johnny Mundo, offering a truce, and setting up the main event vs. Cage. Mundo pointedly told Cueto to get a new belt ready after Cage ripped the old one in half last week. Cueto then visited with Matanza, whomever he is, downstairs and told him about the Black Lotus (Angela Fong), who will never find Matanza. Oh?
4. Cage vs. Johnny Mundo.
For some reason, King Cuerno shows up, and begins making his way to the ring. Just when it looks like Mundo has the match won, Cuerno strikes, tripping Mundo on the apron, prompting the DQ. However, after a couple of chair shots, Cueto's true colors emerge again, and he orders a restart. Mundo recovers, and makes a run, but Cueto meant for Cage to pick up a win, which he does with a GoryBomb dropped into a DDT, not Sister Abagail, as some idiot on another site suggested.
Winner: Cage.
Cueto is on the phone when he hears a knock. He claims the show's over, but the visitor says the party's just begun. After all, it is Alberto El Patron. But you already knew that. Cueto's problems are getting worse. First Black Lotus, the the return of Mundo, and now El Patron........
