Alex Colon v. Aero Boy in a First-Round Match
We had a tube exchange to kick things off, then Alex Colon performed a shotgun dropkick on Aero Boy through a barbed wire door. These two brawled outside, and Aero Boy performed some impressive dives. Once these two got back in the ring, they did some cool lucha spots through barbed wire doors. Aero Boy got the win. For such a simple match this was amazing. Other than a few tubes and barbed wire spots this was a lucha style affair.
