Let's skip the video and go straight to the action.
1. Super Fly vs. Sexy Star.
A couple of weeks back, Fly, now wearing face paint, cost Sexy a submission match vs. Pentagon, Jr., so this grudge match could do one of two things. One, Fly could finally win a match, something he hadn't done to this point, and shake the JTTS label, or two, Sexy could get a slice of revenge for her ex-pal's betrayal.
In horse racing, when you win for the first time, it's called breaking your maiden. Super Fly hadn't won here since LU started, but he pulls off a mild upset, hitting a powerbomb, then maintaining the hold, only to finish Sexy with a sit-out powerbomb.
Winner: Super Fly.
To show he's now a heel, Fly, continues to put the boots to Sexy post-match, forcing her out of the ring. This ain't over.
2. Pentagon, Jr. vs. Cage vs. The Mack vs. Aerostar vs. Marty Martinez.
This was supposed to be a 5-point match for one of the Aztec Medallions. Pentagon was announced first, and immediately went after Melissa Santos, chasing her out of the ring. Pentagon, then, cut a promo on Vampiro, who left the desk to confront Pentagon on the floor. Pentagon left, withdrawing from the match.
After the break, the rest of the competitors were already in the ring. The presence of Marty "The Moth" tells you right away who's jobbing. He's trying to prove he belongs, but his gimmick still has JTTS written all over it. It comes down to him and Aerostar. Martinez runs out of gas, and Aerostar finishes him with a huracanrana off the top, followed by a springboard missile splash, a la Rey Mistero, Jr., for the win and the medallion.
Winner: Aerostar.
Son of Havoc & Ivellise are sparring while Angelico is doing some stretching. Catrina shows up to interrupt, distracting the trios champs long enough for the Disciples of Death to ambush them and knock them out. Mil Muertes appears to escort Catrina out.
As Drago is introduced for his match, Hernandez shows up to ambush. Funny thing. Super Mex would also appear on Impact, one of a few surprises over there leading to Slamniversary.
The last commercial break is a time buy for Drago, giving him time to recover....
3. Drago vs. Mil Muertes.
Seems that whatever Catrina wants, she gets. She tried killing Dario Cueto two weeks ago to get this match for her man, and the more they emphasize her newly gained magical powers, the more you believe her team will be heavily pushed in the final two months of the season. Drago recovered enough to give Muertes a fight, and a good one at that. However, Muertes is too big and too strong. One Flatliner puts an end to it.
Winner: Mil Muertes.
Post-match, Prince Puma & Konnan appear at the stairs. Puma now knows what awaits at Ultima Lucha......
