Heavyweight Championship Tournament

Rush, Ultimo Guerrero, Diamante Azul, El Terrible, Kraneo, Shocker, Volcano, Rey Bucanero, Blue Panther Jr, Gran Guerrero, El Valiente, and Euforia.

I believe this match will follow similar rules to the grand prix match. Valiente starts with Ultimo Guerrero to start the match off. Blue Panther Jr and Gran Guerrero get in and work quickly but Terrible and Kraneo soon get in. Rush comes in and they double team Kraneo.

Gordon goes to announce table and tries his best to understand and speak Spanish. He says he wants more time in Mexico. He says it in spanish correctly and says it over and over. Luckily there’s someone there to translate and then he speaks in English. He politics to come back and says it’s a great company and country to be in. I agree Flip should be back, he got over very nicely.
