WWC Tag Team Champions Chicano & Lighting (La Artilleria Ilegal) vs. La Maldita Revolucion (Julio Jimenez & Zcion RT1) - Tables, Ladders & Stairs Match
Everyone brawled around ringside throwing each other into the barricades and ring posts. Chicano grabbed a ladder and steel chairs and began nailing Jiminez. Lightning worked over RT1 with a chair. La Maldita battled back. It was all brawling and plunder. Lots of blood. It was basically four people beating the hell out of each other, sort of a tag team version of Carlos Colon vs. Abdullah the Butcher in terms of violence and bloodlust.
Several tables were brought into the ring. One of them collapsed under the weight of the competitors, which the crowd booed. A ladder was destroyed with a suplex into the corner. Chicano went to the top but was caught and nailed, crashing down into the ring. He was hit with an Ace Cutter on the remnants of the broken table.

Your winners new WWC Tag Team Champions La Maldita Revolucion!
From a wrestling standpoint, the weakest thing on the show, but that was by design, this was all plunder and carnage.
A very good show if you knew what you were getting into, which was a 1980s good vs. evil presentation. If you were looking for incredible blowaway matches, this wasn't that type of show. It was about presenting the right stories for the live crowd in Puerto Rico and they seemed to love the hell out of the show. Enjoyable visit to a very unique alternative universe.
