High-paced good lucha sequences kicking this off, each guy trying to keep up with the other. Medina wants a moonsault off the apron but Canis just donks him legs out from under him. Battling in the front row, Canis with a somersault into the seats. Canis battering Medina around at ringside. Medina back into it with a hangman’s swinging neckbreaker for two. Trading corner attacks, Canis with a superkick and a lariat and both drops. Medina needs a moment, he might be dehydrated....He tries to keep going but he’s clearly unable to continue, failing to get up into a powerbomb position several times. The ref call it off for the safety of the Medina. This is the hard part about working in the heat and I hope everyone stays hydrated through the weekend.
