On this week's episode your boys dip their toes back into the world of Lucha Libre and finally break the TIA seal on the CMLL promotion. It's the final match of the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles 2016, a tag team tournament with a unique wrinkle: each team is comprised of a rudo and a técnico. 

Who will take home the honors tonight as Mephisto & Mistico square off against Cibernético and Carístico? And what happens when the original Mistico tangles with the young star who assumed the mantle when he left for the States?

Running in this week to help sort out the STAR ratings is screenwriter Aaron Mobley!

Wait...who's this fella in the tuxedo heading to the ring?

Helping fill out the incredibly empty Cow Palace with your boys this week is comedian and podcaster Genevieve Gearity! (@genevieveismyname)
