6) Mil Máscaras b El Halcón [mask]
The two had met in a triangle apuesta match with Alfonso Dantes before. Dantes lost his hair, and these two did the match to determine the winner. Mil took falls 2/3 to win. El Halcon is "Danny Ortiz", really name José Luis Melchor Ortiz, 29, 3 years a wrestler, from Mexico City. He's lose the mask again in a year in Japan. El Halcon Magazine says this match took nine minutes and buries Ortiz as nobody who they turned into a big star and was ungrateful who was putting up his mask without their permission; this mask loss seems borne out of a fall out between the two. Halcon Magazine had been hyping a Second Halcon for a while, so this had been coming.
