GORILLA MONSOON defeats GIL HAYES. This is an exciting match that has a controversial ending. Hayes has Monsoon in an Indian Death Lock, having worked on Monsoon’s right knee for most of the match.

Monsoon lifts Hayes into a Samoan drop for the win.

Manson hits Huracan with a thrust to the throat after Diablo throws Castillo to the floor. Manson rolls Castillo back into the ring. Diablo Mascaras hits a flying head butt. He clamps on a camel clutch and pulls violently back. Castillo submits after several attempts to reach the ropes.

INTERMISSION . . KING CURTIS w/ MARK MANSON defeats VICTOR RIVERA The veteran Rivera makes a costly mistake late in this match. He lowers his head too son on a back drop attempt.

After the cover by Curtis, Manson lifts his charge’s arm in victory, with a maniacal smile on his face. TIME: 15:39 CARLOS COLON defeats HIGH CHIEF AFI w/ MARK MANSON Afi and Colon have periods of dominance during this match.

Time: 15:53 SEMI-FINALS GORILLA MONSOON defeats EL DIABLO MASCARAS w/ MARK MANSON Gorilla grabs Manson early and shoves him into the ring apron. This takes care of manager interference for the duration of this match. Diablo Mascaras takes out the legs of Monsoon and works on his back, with a bow and arrow being the move of choice. It takes a lot out of him, but Monsoon powers out of the moves of the masked man. Late in the contest, Diablo Mascaras climbs to the top rope. He tries to throw a flying body block on Monsoon. Monsoon catches Diablo, shifts his weight, and executes a running power slam for the win.

KING CURTIS w/ MANSON vs. GORILLA MONSOON Benitez says he cannot change the result of the preceding match but he can send Manson back for this contest. Manson protests but it falls on deaf ears. The crowd roars their approval. Monsoon and Curtis do not wrestle a technical classic. They beat each other from pillar to post. Curtis takes out a pencil and carves up Monsoon. It takes a while, but Monsoon uses the foreign object to do some composition of his own. Manson comes out despite the banning earlier. Monson tells Benitez he will take care of the problem. Gorilla throws Manson into the ringside table. Curtis has recovered in the ring and attacks Monsoon when he returns. Curtis takes off a turnbuckle pad. Curtis tries to whip Monsoon into the metal casing. Monsoon reverses and sends the heel into it instead. Monsoon lifts Curtis into a backbreaker for the win. MONSOON (W) and NEW PUERTO RICAN CHAMPION
