The CMLL PPV extravaganza that was "La Noche de los Campeones"! A sold-out crowd of 10,000 in Arena Mexico got their collective money's worth with a card full of twists, turns, and top-notch action. I'm Bill Simmons-izing this report for you, so buckle up!
Match 1: Six-Man Tag Team Mayhem Dark Silueta, Lluvia, and Zeuxis took down La Catalina, La Jarochita, and Stephanie Vaquer in a high-flying opener (05:34). The ladies brought the excitement from bell to bell. Zeuxis's aerial assault sealed the deal for the winners.
Match 2: Tag Team Tussle DOUKI and Okumura outlasted Audaz and Capitan Suicida in a hard-hitting, back-and-forth Best Two Out Of Three Falls match (10:54). The teams traded near-falls and reversals until DOUKI's patented "Douki Driver" secured the victory.
Match 3: Lightning-Quick Draw El Satanico Time Limit Drew with Tiger Mask in a thrilling Lightning Match (10:00). These two veterans played to their strengths, trading holds and counters. The draw left fans on the edge of their seats.
Match 4: Best-of-Three Showdown Mascara Dorada 2.0 got the better of El Desperado in a closely contested Best Two Out Of Three Falls match (12:53). Both men gave it their all, but MD2's superior technical grappling won out in the end.
Match 5: Six-Man Tag Team War Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, Tetsuya Naito, and Titan) dominated Atlantis Jr., Mistico, and Soberano Jr. in a Best Two Out Of Three Falls Six-Man Tag Team match (18:28). The L.I.J. trio's chemistry and power proved too much for their opponents.
Main Event: NWA World Historic Welterweight Title Bout Rocky Romero pulled off the upset of the night, defeating Volador Jr. to retain his NWA World Historic Welterweight title (22:02). The challenger's aerial attacks were no match for Rocky's cunning and technical prowess.
