Match 1: “Lucha Mascaras” Poseidon & Plata Mascaras vs “Team ESL” Steve The ESL Teacher & Wang Tao

The cruiserweights again exchange at a fast rate, this time while bouncing rope to rope. A dropkick to the back of Tao’s head while seated gives us the first pinfall attempt for two. Mascaras are in control and Plata gets tagged in. After a double team Plata hooks on a Boston Crab but Steve runs in to break it up. This allows Tao to take control briefly until he jumps off the middle rope and gets caught by Plata then spine bustered. Poseidon comes in hot and has Tao in trouble until he misses a kick and gets crotched on the middle rope. Tao lays a beating on Poseidon then tags in Steve.
Steve continues the punishment but after tagging Tao back in the tables are turned. Poseidon comes off the middle rope onto both men and tags Plata who lays out both opponents then tage in Poseidon again. They double flying jalapeno Tao but Steve breaks up the pin. Steve puts both men down.
Steve and Tao tag in and out under Steve’s discretion. A pedigree on Poseidon by Tao ends it.

Headlock exchange to start followed by a basic rope to rope but Cold Ray cuts it short with a shot to the gut. He unloads a variety of strikes and caps it off with a fisherman buster for two.
