*********************************************
Kemalito & Periquito Sacaryas defeated Chamuel & Tengu
Sacaryas and Tengu started off, trading arm drags until the former writhed on the ground. Tengu trapped Kemalito in a modified surfboard stretch. Kemalito recovered momentarily with a hurricanrana. Chamuel faceplanted Kemalito with a double-underhook slam. Sacaryas attempted to make the save, but Chamuel stomped him down and slapped him in the corner. Tengu, to make matters worse for Kemalito, Gorilla pressed him ten times until tossing him to the mat. Sacaryas evicted Tengu outside with a Flying Headscissors. Kemalito splashed from the top rope, knocking Chamuel flat.
Kemalito mounted a comeback for his team, dizzying Chamuel with multiple arm drags. Tengu rocked Kemalito with a double-underhook. A Springboard Splash resulted in a miscommunicated two-count, where the referee accidentally hit the mat a third time. Kemalito connected with a DDT and another Springboard Splash, ultimately acquiring the pinfall.
I see why Kemalito is a beloved wrestler from the lucha libre scene. Sacaryas was also a joy to watch. However, I was impressed by Tengu and Chamuel as well.
