. Místico had yet to establish himself as a top player in CMLL, but had been taken under the wing of Hijo del Santo and Negro Casas, two of the top ''tecnicos'' of the time. ''La Furia'' lost both the second and the third fall of the match. The fifth match of the night was more of a brawl than a wrestling match, with Perro Aguayo Jr. and Universo 2000 both wrestling a very aggressive match that saw both wrestlers fight outside the ring for extended periods of time. At one point Universo 2000 even pushed Perro Aguayo, Sr. who was at ringside. Near the end of the match Universo 2000 tried to apply the " Black Hammer", his signature move. Universo's "Black Hammer" was the storyline reason for why Aguayo, Sr, had to retire and the prospect of Universo 2000 doing the same to his son caused Perro Agauayo to jump in the ring and attack Universo 2000 before he could execute the move. The attack caused his son to be disqualified but the Aguayos did not care as they ran Universo 2000 out of the ring. The main event tag team match saw all four wrestlers brawl throughout the arena, something which was unusual for CMLL matches at the time, but really help convey the intensity of the storyline between the four men. At one point Pierroth's aide

came to the ring to help out, but was stopped before she could get to the ring. In the end ''Los Hermanos Dinamita'' defeated both Pierroth and Vampiro, forcing them both to be shaved bald as a result of the match.
