This was one of the first Lucha Forever shows announced. I heard about it first from Will Ospreay on Twitter and immediately booked. The show originally had a four way ladder match between Ospreay, Pete Dunne, Ryan Smile and Travis Banks then David Starr replaced Dunne and Banks would have to beat Shane Strickland for the title to get in. Marty Scurll was also originally announced and was meant to face Mark Andrews (Mandrews pulled out late after suffering an injury at NXT's Download festival shows. The card all changed around but still looked good.
In addition to the roster change, the venue also changed from a nightclub to the familiar Cathays Bingo Hall. It looked more professional than an Attack show with an actual entrance and two video screen either side of the entrance.
It's also worth noting that the show occurred during a heatwave. The show was delayed which meant the crowd spent longer in the sun. Not the best way to start. Even the wrestlers felt the heat with guys like Katt and Webster joking about the heat and Dan and Robinson wearing changed attires to combat the warmth.
