They shook hands & The Strike out kid exited the ring while Alexander stayed and continued to bashed Los Bandidos. Out comes Rico Dynamite along with Jezabel until Kaos comes out to address the situation. Kaos then announced that Dynamite is now be given control of the show from here on out if he leaves ringside which he does.

We head into the main event with Ray Rosas takes on Willie Mack & we’re introduced to Chaz Herrera who is Rosa’s new associate who informed the crowd that Rosas will now be called El Ray as he’s sporting a new “Kingly” style.
Santino Bros Heavyweight Championship:
El Ray def Willie Mack with a “Loaded” Double Axe Handel from the top to win & retain the championship.
Santino Bros kicked off 2014 with another great show. New format going to Fridays instead of Thursdays, 8 matches instead of its usual 5 matches going close to a 3 hour show & also going Bi-weekly instead of weekly works out. The crowd was hot this evening as well but once again some glitches in the Ustream feed froze up a few seconds in a few matches.
As to my Matches of the Night, I feel these matches had really great chemistry with each other & would love to see them face each other again:
SOCAL CRAZY vs Bobby Rios (Solid opener, overall great match)
Rico Dynamite vs Che Cabrera (good match, good ring work & adding the continuation of Sgt Major Alexander Paul is making the feud of Paul/Dyanmite very interesting)
Tito Escondido vs Little Cholo (Overall if I had to pick the best of the one’s I pick I would choose this one. Great back & fourth action, technics, ring work. Outstanding match)
Ray Rosas vs Willie Mack (Entertaining with the adding of the Nerdy Chaz Herrera to Ray Rosas is a good idea plus with the new gimmick gave Rosas more heat with fans. Rosas/Mack solid ring work, dirty attics, overall a fun match).
Santino Bros returns in 2 weeks on Friday January 24th for another great show. So until next time this is Mike Draven…signing off.
