411’s AAA/CMLL Report 5.17.05

Welcome to week #12 of Lucha Libre on 411! First my apologies for getting this here on Tuesday instead of Monday. Things have just been hectic as of late. I’m having a birthday soon and that’s another whole can of worms itself. Next week we’ll be on time, which will hopefully be up shortly before RAW. I got like no feedback last week, which is a shame since I had the Super Porky game in place. I suppose Super Porky doesn’t equal ratings.

Anyone been watching that Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon on Cartoon Network? They showed 1-25 in a 3 hour block Saturday and I was lucky enough to catch it. Its hands down better then any of the new movies, and to be quite honest is one of the best parts of the Star Wars universe. Better then everything other then Empire to be honest. I’m really excited to see Ep III now, but I have a feeling it’ll pale in comparison to this. So if you haven’t checked it out, you might want to. Good stuff, solid and unique animation, and more lightsabers then you can shake a Ewok at. Gotta love that Hammerhead Jedi too!

What’s with all this ECW crap on Raw? I could care less about ECW anymore. They are dead. They;ve been dead. They are never coming back. They are OWNED by WWE. If they come back, it’ll be a WWE controlled product. That’s not ECW, that’s pretend ECW. They sucked ass their last 2 years running anyway. The only decent things that ever came out of ECW was Raven, Douglas, the Triple Threat and Sandman. Funk, Foley, Benoit and all the others came from other places and really made their names outside of ECW. The time for ECW is past. I really hope this PPV is the end of this crap. Plus since when did ECW mean hardcore matches? ECW’s hardcore stuff was usually kept a minimum. They saved that for Sandman and crappy wrestlers like the Dudleys and Rottens. The real HARDCORE aspect of ECW was their cussing and innovative ‘shoot’ atmosphere. Now WWE and TNA do that, and the WWF and WCW adopted those styles YEARS ago so really there isn’t anything special about ECW, but memories. It isn’t fresh anymore, and most of the WWE audience knows nothing about ECW. They just know its fun to chant it. Go to a WWE live show, and ask what someone’s favorite ECW match was. They’ll make up some story about fire, thumbtacks and barbwire that never happened. And do you know why? Because all most people know of ECW is the same shitty 60 seconds of footage that WWE is airing. Featuring, barbwire and tables, and almost NOTHING from what ECW was about 99% of the time. Poor Bischoff is getting sacrificed to help build this crappy one time PPV too. How about making your CURRENT product good, as opposed to stacking all your eggs into the fucking ECW basket. $400 tickets, oh brother. I wonder what all the ECW guys think about not getting paid for YEARS, and WWE getting all the money now. Vince makes MILLIONS off of ECW being dead, and yet Shane Douglas and countless others are owed hundreds of thousands of dollars from their time in ECW. Do yousrself a favor, DON’T order the ECW PPV, and buy that Hardcore Homecoming DVD instead. Stiff the man for once in your life, and then man is Vince McMahon in this instance.

As for the Lita/Kane/Edge/Hardy thing, I could care less. My problem isn’t with WWE using Hardy’s real life drama for angles. My problem is that’s about the most unoriginal thing on the planet. Lita’s getting booed out of the building, and huge “You screwed Matt” chants at her, so have her turn on Kane? Yea that’ll make sense. They shoukd have just had Lita go and cost Matt Morgan a big title match. At least then the “You screwed Matt” chants would make sense. What are we supposed to chant, “You screwed Kane” now? This whole Lita/Kane angle has been a debacle since it started, LAST SUMMER, and for it to end, with Lita turning on Kane to be with Edge, just about sums out how completely fucking horrible WWE’s booking can be.

Lets recap shall we?

Lita & Matt hook up
Lita & Matt are split up in Draft
Matt returns to Raw & Re-unites with Lita
Matt turns on Lita
Matt is back with Lita, after they had nothing for either to do
Kane beats up Matt
Lita sleeps with Kane in storylines to save Matt from more beatings
Kane impregnates Lita
Matt gets beat up some more
Matt & Kane have a match for Lita, which Matt loses
Kane & Lita are married, Matt tries to make the save, only to be beat up more
Kane & Lita hate each other
Kane & Lita lose baby to Gene Snitsky
Snitsky destroys Kane
Snitsky terrorizes Lita
Kane returns, and is now a face and reunites with Lita
Kane & Lita are now a happy couple (WTF?)
Kane & Lita continue to be happy couple and defeat Snitsky
Lita suddenly acts afraid of Kane again
Kane & Lita work together to win Gold Rush tourney matches
Lita turns on Kane to be with Edge

Yep that about sums it up. Keep in mind, if you follow that story, Lita should be a whore for A, sleeping with Kane in the first place, B, giving up on Matt and becoming happy couple with Kane, and C, joining Edge’s meat train for NO reason whatsoever.

Remember Edge & Lita have NO connection in WWE storylines. None, in fact I doubt they’ve ever crossed paths outside of the last 2 weeks. This makes NO sense, and again shows how completely fucking useless WWE writers are. Thanks for this YEAR long Kane/Lita storyline WWE, I really feel it got somewhere, and must have peaked tonight.

Just a little fucking continuity, PLEASE!

5.17.05 AAA is on the air. We open this week to a PHONE message from WWE Superstar, Rey Mysterio Jr! Here is a complete translation….because as weird as this is, REY SPOKE IN ENGLISH, when addressing the Latio audience. Which is sorta like how he talks in Spanish 90% of the time on Smackdown. It makes no fucking sense, anyway we are treated to Clips of Rey-Rey as he says:

“Hello Tokyo! Hello Japanese fans, This is Rey Mysterio, I hope you enjoy lucha libre, TRIPLE A! I am now a WWE Smackdown superstar. But my career started in AAA Mexico 15 years ago. Hopefully one day I will come back to AAA one more time and wrestle for my Japanese fans! (WHAT ABOUT THE MEXICANS REY!? WHAT ABOUT THE MEXICANS?!?!) Let me show you what I have learned from Triple A. Solluna presents, TRIPLE A INVADING JAPAN, Part two. Have a good show, and the show will start, RIGHT NOW! 619, Rey Mysterio, PEACE”

Now we get the AAA opening montage. I gotta admit it was cool to see Rey, but they used mostly WWE footage, and his pretaped interview sounded like one of those things where you call your phone company. He might as well have said “If you’re calling about changing your long distance carrier, press one!” Cause for a guy who speaks plain English his delivery sounded like a robot.

This is AAA in Japan again, obviously. You know what was missing from WWE going to Japan? Them using Japanese talent. Its sorta pointless to go to another country for a big tour, and not do some interpromotional stuff. Oh who am I kidding, WWE is the only wrestling company in the WORLLLLLLD! Or so they would have you believe.

Charly Manson is out first, and he’s looking pretty creeptacular in a red suit. The former Essa Rios (Who was also screwed over by Lita) is out next. He’s wearing his old Aguila mask, but luckily for us he takes it off. Aguila SUCKED under the mask, and oddly enough didn’t come into his own until he became Essa Rios. JUVIENTUD FUCKING GUERRA is next, and he also had his mask on, but pulled it off. Juvi is all juiced up. And now their opponents….

Shitty ICP music hits, and here comes NOSAWA! Nosawa is your typical Muta rip-off guy, but he does it pretty good. He made his name in XPW, here state side. The next man need NO introduction, as he’s one of the best cruiserweights of all time, TAKA MICHINOKU! He’s carrying TWO belts to hammer home the point, that hey, he’s great. Next, Straight from Pro-Wrestling NOAH, Tigre Emperor!

Charly Manson, Mr. Aguila, Juventud Guerrera versus Taka Michinoku, Nosawa, Tigre Emperor

Oddly enough, the Japanese wrestlers are the heels here. Lets see here, we’ve got Juvi who we all know is ultra talented, and perhaps even better then Rey Jr. If he’s NOT better then Rey, he’s right at #2. Rey has slipped since his peak though, and I think Juvi-Juice has gotten better. Then we’ve got Taka, who’s pretty much the best cruiserweight WWF ever had. NOSAWA is talented, but not the greatest wrestler ever. Still he’s a guy who mimics Muta, and does a decent job at it. Charly Manson is talented, and on par with almost anyone in AAA. I mean this match is just CHOCKED FULL of great talent. Tigre Emperor also wrestles as Kotaro Suzuki. That’s Tiger Emperor here in the states, so yea that’s what I’m calling him. Juvi and Tiger Emperor start us out. Though Nosawa doesn’t want to get out of the ring. Juvi offers the prematch handshake, and Tiger Emperor reluctantly accepts. Collar and elbow, into a side headlock by Juvi. Juvi off the ropes with a shoulderblock that takes Tiger down. Tiger gets back up and charges at Juvi, but the Juice leapfrogs over him and monkey flips Tiger. Tiger Emperor sends Juvi into the ropes, but Juventud snaps off a spinning head scissor and Tiger Emperor Lands on HIS FEET! Both men with leg trips into quick pins, and then both men KIP UP and stare one another down. Nice opening sequence there. Juvi tags out to Charly Manson. Charly WAY over with the crowd. Tiger Emperor tags to Nosawa, and then fans HATE Nosawa. Probably that ICP association. Nosawa attacks from behind, but ends up on the wrong end of a dropkick and then a TOPE SUICIDA! Taka sneaks into the ring while the other two lay outside, and Taka does a funny dance, but Mr. Aguila is behind him! Taka almost gets snake eyes in the corner, but he flips out at the last second and causes Aguila to ram himself face first into the top turnbuckle. Aguila charges at Taka, and tries to take him down with a leg sweep but Taka jumps to the top rope and MOONSAULT over Aguila to dodge the legsweep. Nice! Aguila with chops into his ropewalk springboard powerslam. That gets a 2 count, but Nosawa breaks it up and they double team Mr.Aguila. Camel clutch by Nosawa and Taka dropkicks Aguila in the face. Tag out to Tiger Emperor, and he works over the knee Mr. Aguila. Tiger Emperor with the patented Tiger Mask knee offense. Anyone know if he’s a Tiger Mask tribute, rip-off, what? Tiger Emperor works the arm for a bit, and tags out to Nosawa. Nosawa works the arm a bit, and then he works the leg and knee that Tiger Emperor warmed up. Tag to Taka, and he tries to pick up where Tiger Emperor left off, but Aguila fights back. Chops to Taka, Taka with the Roddy Piper eye poke! MUY RUDO! Tiger Emperor is tagged back in and he continues to work over Aguila’s knee with patented offense. Tiger Emperor off the ropes with a TWISTING 360 SPLASH! He did that running off the rope, NOT jumping from the top. VERY impressive. That gets a 2 count, but Aguila will not go down that easy. Lita will however. Tiger Emperor with a front facelock, and he brings Aguila into the corner, where all three Japs beat on him. Taka & Nosawa try a double clothesline but Aguila BACK FLIPS over them and hits a clothesline on both of them! Aguila rolls to the corner, and tags Juvi, who comes in with a springboard flying cross body block that takes down both NOSAWA AND TAKA! Charly Manson with a springboard dropkick on Nosawa! Tiger Emperor runs in, but Manson picks him up in position for a DOOMSDAY DEVICE….Juvi and Aguila go up to, and BOTH come off with a springboard clothesline for TRIPLE TEAM DOOMSDAY DEVICE! That’s a first for me. Mr.Aguila is still selling the knee too, kudos to that. Tiger Emperor eats a knee in the corner, and then gets CROTCHED against the steel post. Charly with a dropkick to Tiger Emperor’s head while he’s crotched on the steel post. Ouch! Nosawa in, and he gets a Harley Race knee to the head. Two count off that, and Charly dropkicks Nosawa in the face. Tag out to Aguila, and Nosawa and Aguila exchange pins until Nosawa landa Tajiri kick to Mr. Aguila’s head. Nosawa tags out to Tiger Emperor, who comes in with a springboard backelbow, that misses, and then gets snapmared INTO the knee of Aguila, and SOMEHOW BOUNCES OFF AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! Tiger Emperor you impress me sir. That was wicked cool. Tiger Emperor with a kick to the stomach and then hoists Mr. Aguila up….TIGER DRIVER! TIGA DRIVAAAAAAAA! Two count, but Juvi breaks it up with a basement dropkick. Tiger Emperor tries a headscissor, but Aguila turns it into a facebuster. Backdrop faceplant on Tiger Emperor. Taka and Nosawa try to get involved, but Juvi and Charly Manson run across the ring and knock them off the apron JUVI AND CHARLY with dueling PLANCHAS ONTO TAKA AND NOSAWA! The Japanese fans are chanting, MEXICO. Man that’s just confusing. Aguila struggles to his feet in the ring, and tries to get the fans into it. Tiger Emperor gets inverted powerbombed. Taka breaks up a pin attempt, but Juvi comes in and Tiger Emperor and Juvi battle. Tiger Emperor with a inverted DDT on Juvi! Tiger Emperor puts Juvi on the top turnbuckle. They fight atop it. Tiger Emperor ends up crotched on the ropes, and Juvi frankensteiners him off to the outside. Then as Tiger Emperor stands up outside the ring, Juvi is inside the ring on his back. Somehow defying the laws of gravity and physics Juvi shoots backwards still belly first on the mat, outside the ring, wraps his legs around Tiger Emperor, turns straight and pulls off one the sweetest ranas I’ve ever seen. THAT WAS INSANE! SHADES OF NO ONE, CAUSE NO ONE BUT JUVI CAN PULL SWEET STUFF LIKE THAT OUTTA NOWHERE! In the ring, Taka runs in place, and then hits hit patented plancha. Taka throws Juvi in the ring, and tries a top rope clothesline, but Juvi dropkicks him. Taka is up first and tries to German suplex Juvi, but the Juice lands on his feet. Juvi tries to German Taka, but Michinoku ALSO lands on his feet. Exchange of chops! Its a battle of the Michinoki-Driver versus the Juvi-Driver! Juvi gets the best of the chops, then a spinning back chop. Juvi with a spin kick. Taka down to a knee….JUVI WITH THE SHINING WIZARD! He Shined his Wizard BY GAWD! ONE, TWO….KICKOUT AT THE LAST SECOND! Juvi tries to hit the driver on Taka, but Taka blocks and turns it into inside cradle. ONE, TWO…KICKOUT BY THE JUICE! Juvi grabs ahold of Taka again, and this time PLANTS HIM WITH THE JUVI DRIVER! One, two, Nosawa breaks up the pin. Both men groggy, and Taka gets to the corner and pulls himself up off the ropes. Juvi tags Charly Manson in, and Charly comes in charges at Taka. Taka dodges a avalanche in the corner, and nails a back kick on Manson. Another back kick, followed up by a SUPERKICK! Taka is whipping ass and taking names. Michinoku gets the tag to Nosawa. Nosawa charges at Charly, but Charly hits a facebuster. Charly grabs Nosawa for a German suplex, but Nosawa nails him with the Ric Flair back kick lowblow 92′! Nosawa grabs ahold of Charly, and signals for Taka to come in. Taka comes in and tries to hit a superkick, but Charly moves out of the way and TAKA SUPERKICKS NOSAWA! In comes Mr. Aguila with a sweet spinning back kick to Taka! Juvi runs across the ring and flying forearms Tiger Emperor off the apron. Charly Manson locks Nosawa’s legs into some contortion, then spins, flips down and turns it into the most insane variation of the figure four leglock I’ve ever seen. I’ll call it a reverse figure four leglock, but the way he did it, and how he spun into it, looked BRUTAL. Nosawa almost instantly submits, and it looked like his damn legs got broke off. Imagine any cool variation you’ve ever seen of the figure 4, then imagine it 10 times more painful, and you’ll have Manson’s reverse figure four leglock. Wicked ending, to a AWESOME fucking bout.

Winners: Charly Manson, Mr. Aguila and Juventud Guerrera!

Charly, Aguila and Juvi celebrate as we hit commercial!

– Al fin De Noche! its a show, and its got hot women, and its got I dunno, other stuff happening. WATCH IT!
– Darth Vader compares breathing noises with the Burger King. Comedy gold. They should have had that be a 90 second spot, where it just keeps going and going like a Family Guy joke.
– ACCION not only has Soccer, but BULL FIGHTING! Now that’s a sport my friends.
– Platinum Health Plus is muy bien! As in, its good like a Paris Hilton rimjob.
– La Jugada isn’t just another soccer show, it s a soccer show with BALLS! Get it? Balls….No? Oh well. There are only so many soccer jokes to be made, and there are about 45 soccer commercials PER Lucha Libre show.

Verdict: Alright, now just listen to me here. A couple of weeks ago I was asked about the HBK/Benjamin match from RAW that everyone was saying is the best free TV match of the year. Well my friends, THIS IS THE BEST FREE TV MATCH OF THE YEAR! You heard me. In fact, I’ll go ahead and say this is a MATCH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE! Just a completely awesome six man tag, from 5 of the best and Nosawa. There really isn’t much to say here other then, watch this match. I’m keeping this tape, but it’s definitely worth seeing. If you didn’t tape Lucha, hit me up and I’ll see if I can’t make you a copy. This is the great, great match. Nothing else can be said other then this was awesome. I had high expectations, and this not only met them but SURPASSED them. A must see for free TV matches.

We’re back and the Luchadors celebrate their win. Nosawa is pissed off, and starts beef with Charly Manson, while Juvi grabs a Mexican flag from the fans and holds it up high. Nosawa finally leaves, as he’s still pissed about that reverse figure four leglock. The AAA team celebrates some more, and then we get clips of Antonio Pena thanking the Japanese fans for their hospitality. I presume this is the end of the AAA in Japan segments then. Lot of good stuff came from it though.

Tiffany is in the gym, representing LLL. She’s the Reyna De Reynas champion, and she wants us to know it! Lady Apache can’t hold a candle to her. She says something about La Diabolica, and she rambles on more Spanish. I caught something in there about wanting to fondle Newton’s gimmick…Surely she doesn’t mean me?

Its time for some ladies trios action. Princessa Blanca is out first, and I don’t think I’ve spent enough time putting her over in the past. She comes out with lady dancers, and then Princessa Blanca does some dancing of her own. Princessa Blanca is wearing a tight little one piece silver shiny singlet, and red chaps and looks hot as hell. AAA provides us with some EXCELLENT butt shots, and Princessa Blanca’s milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, if ya know what I mean. Princessa Sugeith is out next, and she’s got a quite a can on her too. She’s a good heel, and one of my favorite Luchadors. Perennial favorite Faby Apache is out next, looking as cute and sexy as ever in yellow. We’re getting alternating face/heel entrances here. So Faby is out for the tecnicos, and a rudo will be next. Tiffany, who is sporting her skin tight all black getup, in vinyl this week. Lady Apache is out next, and she’s wearing a vinyl one piece singlet. That’s a sexy outfit for her, and no complaints from me. Last but not least is La Diabolica, who is new to me. Diabolica looks like she’s wearing Juvi’s mask, its very similar in style. She seems to have some beef with Tiffany, who’s her partner.

Princessa Blanca, Lady Apache and Faby Apache versus Princessa Sugeith, Tiffany and La Diabolica

La Diabolica and Lady Apache start off first. Power struggle, and La Diabolica gets the better of it shoving Lady Apache down. La Diabolica is all over her with chops to the titties. That’s gotta hurt. Lady Apache ain’t packing a lot upstairs, but 15 or 20 chops to the breasticles will certainly leave a mark. Lady Apache has had enough, and returns fire on La Diabolica with a chop or two of her own. Lady Apache with a big Western Lariat! SHADES OF STAN HANSEN! Wait, La Diabolica ducked the lariat, and applies a Fujiawa armbar on Apache. She then pulls Lady Apache up and twists her with a arm wringer. La Diabolica with a double arm whip! Lady Apache responds with a double arm whip of her own! Apache turns hers into a pin of sorta, but that’s broken up and Lady Apache tries to float over La Diabolica, but Diabolica catches her in a leg scissors around the waist and slams her butt first into the canvas. Lady Apache screams out, and La Diabolica wrenches tight the leg scissors. Lady Apache rolls it over, and turns it into a Mexican surfboard of sorts. La Diabolica arm whips her, but Lady Apache lands on her feet. She charges and gets slammed by La Diabolica. Both womne make the tag, as the cameras show a hottie in the crowd. What are the 6 women in the ring not enough for you? Perverts. Princessa Sugeith, and Princessa Blanca are in. BATTLE OF THE PRINCESSES! Blanca does a sexy dance, and it entices me, but it only serves to piss off Princessa Sugeith and she kicks Blanca in the rump. Blanca ducks a clothesline, but Tiffany comes in from behind and Princessa Sugeith & Tiffany hit a double clothesline on Princessa Blanca! Blanca springboards into a rope walk, and does a double arm drag to both rudo women. Blanca then does a flip into a deep arm drag on Tiffany. Damn Princesa Blanca has a nice ass. I’m just saying. Princessa Sugeith tries to attack, but Blanca dodges. Blanca grabbed by Tiffany, and Princessa Sugeith goes for a dropkick, but Blanca escapes and Princessa Sugeith nails her own partner with the dropkick. Princessa Sugeith gets sent out of the ring and Blanca prepares for a running plancha. NO! Fakeout, Princessa Blanca does another sexy dance instead. Hey, normally I hate the fake outs to the plancha, but in this instance I’m glad she didn’t. Shake it honey, shake it! Meanwhile Tiffany looks frustrated and old on the outside. Lady Apache in next, and La Diabolica attacks her. Sugeith irish whips Lady Apache, and then La Diabolica gives her a BRONCO BUSTER! FACE FULL OF STUFF! FACE FULL OF STUFF! Faby Apache has seen enough and comes in for the save, but La Diabolica hair peels Faby! Princessa Sugeith kicks Faby in the back of the head, and then Tiffany comes in and face slams Faby Apache. Princess Blanca back in, and she gets beaten for a moment, but gets the better of La Diabolica! The tecnicos make a comeback! Dual drokicks send the rudo women out of the ring. Princessa Blanca charges at Lady Apache, who BACKDROPS her over the top rope so she can plancha onto Princessa Sugeith! Nice teamwork there! This leaves Lady Apache and La Diabolica alone in the ring. Lady charges at La Diabolica and gets tossed over the top rope and to the floor like a sack of potatoes. La Diabolica is very proud of herself, but Faby Apache comes in and shoulderblocks her down. Faby with a quick roll up on La Diabolica! TWO COUNT! La Diabolica is upset. Faby off the ropes, TRIPPED and yanked out of the ring by Tiffany. Brawl on the outside by Tiffany and Faby Apache. FABY GOES BEZERK with kicks and chops and stomps on Tiffany! In the ring La Diabolica gets school boyed by Lady Apache for another two count. Lady with a chop! Tiffany grabs Lady Apache’s foot as she bounces off the ropes, but Apache is having none of it and she BACK KICKS TIFFANY IN THE FACE! La Diabolica irish whips Lady Apache again, but Lady reverses and La Diabolica goes into the ropes, where a blinded TIffany tries to hit Lady Apache but hits La Diabolica instead! Lady Apache with a roll up! ONE! TWO! THREE! Tiffany is quick to blame La Diabolica, but La Diabolica isn’t happy about this at all!

Winners: Princessa Blanca, Lady Apache and Faby Apache!

– Los Reporteros get the story first!
– Darth Vader is your father! No…he’s your Uncle! He just wants your money! By the way, Vader speaking in Spanish is VERY different then say James Earl Jones. Creepy even.
– Platinum Health Plus!
– Ingles Sin Barrera pulls out the big guns, as EL SANTO does a commercial for them. He’s whipped a lot of opponents, and now he’s whipped the English Language! Learn to speak English, just like El Santo….Santo at the end says “Be a champion, and speak English now!” YES I’M A CHAMPION! I’M A CHAMPION!

Verdict: Very good women’s match. Nice and fast paced. It could have been a little longer, but given the talent that was in there they made the best of the short time they had. They also played up the Tiffany/La Diabolica tension well. Everyone looked great, and I mean that in the wrestling sense. Though everyone also looked pretty good in another sense too, if ya smell what the Professor is cooking.

We’re back and Tiffany and La Diabolica ae coming to blows outside. Princess Sugeith tries to hold them apart. Finally they go their separate ways. Tiffany climbs in the ring, and she starts brawling with Lady Apache! La Diabolica grabs a mic and bitches about how she was treated. Meanwhile Lady Apache and Tiffany are still brawling in the ring. Now La Diabolica climbs into the ring, and she wants a piece of Lady Apache! La Diabolica starts choking Lady Apache! They brawl for a minute, but are quickly separated! Now Tiffany has the mic, and she’s bitching at Lady Apache and La Diabolica! Its a total debacle!!! Finally the madness ends, and the tecnicos revel in their win!

The lovely hoochies of AAA dance in a predated package. Sexy women in sparkly thong bikinis. No complaints here. Though they shoulda showed a bit more of the chick in silver.

Mr. Aquila, Charly Manson, Hator versus Intocable, El Zorro, Octagon

If your curious, Charly & Aguila are wrestling twice tonight, because the other match was from Japan in the 4 sided ring, but this is in Mexico in the 6 sided ring. Duh. Octagon goes a ropewalk armdrag as the first move of the match to Charly Manson. Charly sells it like a champ, and flies across the ring crotching himself on the steel post in the process. Replay of that. Zorro in against Hator now. This was set up last week. They brawl a bit. Replay on that brawl from last week, while Zorro and Hator fight in the ring. Zorro superkicks Charly off the apron, and Hator brings the kendo stick into the ring. He tries to use it on Zorro, but Zorro ends up getting it and using it on Aguila and Hator. Intocable is in, and he and Charly Manson lock up. Manson gets the best of the exchange, and Aguila comes off the top onto Intocable. Its a pier six brawl, as everyone starts fighting it out. Not unlike last week. Intocable gets sent outside, and then thrown INTO the crowd, while Charly rips at the mask of Octagon. Octagon escapes getting his mask ripped off only to get stomped into the corner. Charly rips at the mask of Octagon some more, and the referee breaks it up. Charly beats on Octagon. Outside the ring, Mr.Aguila is destroying Intocable. He picks Intocable up….POWERBOMB ONTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! Technically that’s the Spanish announce table, but it didn’t break. Which is a first for this business. The rudo announcer does a funny bit where he tries to interview Intocable on the table while he writhes in pain. Hator is choking Zorro with a cable. Intocable clotheslines Aquila into ringside. Then throws him into the ringpost. Hator power bombs Zorro. Aguila off the apron with a double axehandle onto Intocable. Octagon battles Charly in the ring with chops. He uses Zorro’s kendo stick on Charly! Octagon tries to help Zorro up, while Intocable and Aguila brawl down the entrance way. OUT RUNS THE BLACK FAMILY! They level Intocable with a steel chair! Meanwhile in the ring Charly Manson is taking it to Octagon! Intocable is busted open from the Black Family beating on the outside. Here comes the BARRIO BOYS! They attack the Black Family! They chase the Black Family back to the back! And hit Ozz in the butt with a skateboard! Zorro with a right hand on Aguila. Superkick for Hator. Intocable with a flip dove onto Hator! HERE COMES PSICOSIS! He sneaks in the ring and grabs Octagon’s mask while he’s got Charly in a side headlock. Octagon covers his face, and Charly pins him! THREE COUNT! Charly quickly gets the mask and puts it back on Octagon after the match, when the ref isn’t looking, to avoid a DQ! The referee notices something and the ref is thinking about changing the verdict, Psicosis punches the Referee in the mouth! Well that’s one way to solve the problem. Then he hits the ref with a chair. The LLL crew continue to beat on the AAA guys as we head to commercial.

Winners: Mr. Aquila, Charly Manson, Hator

– Lo Mejor De Boxeo En Esta Esquina, its boxing…LATINO STYLE!
– Al fin de Semana its like American Idol, but different!
– AMERIKASH MASTERCARD! MAS CREDITO! LLAME YA!

Verdict: Not very good. Just a wild brawl, that lacked the passion of last week’s brawl. Plus there was just too many run ins. I suppose it accomplished what it was supposed to, and that’s more LLL versus AAA stuff. Still it wasn’t pretty, and it was hard to cover the action. Luckily it was kept short, and for that I’m thankful. Not terrible, just not good either.

We’re back and the LLL guys are still causing problems, They are finally forced out of the ring area by AAA security. 1997 called, and they want their nWo back. Off to commercial AGAIN!

– Enmas.com has crap on it.
– Are you going bald? Even men in Puerto Rico are going bald. Call 1-800-916-1596 and Mexican worms will eat into your brain, but you’ll get HAIR! Shampoo Cre-C!
– Televisa Deportes brings you all the good action. Thank them for that!

Back to the show, and Psicosis cuts a promo on Gronda, Latin Lover and La Parka!

“OHHHHHHH WHAT A RUSH” Hawk from LOD yells out, then LOD’s music starts playing, and out walks Gronda. Okay then! RoadWarrior Gronda it is! Gronda’s music then turns into the hee-hee-haw-haw song. Still Mexico will rip anything off. For a minute I was hyped, thought Hawk came back from the dead to fight. Interesting though that Gronda used his music. I can only presume since Gronda is Satan, that he collected Hawk’s soul and as a result gets to use his entrance music. Latin Lover is out next. Then the Star Wars theme hits, and out walks TELEVISA DEPORTES! How in the hell can you name a wrestler after a TV station? That’s the most blatant plug ever. That’s like ABC Family or CNN being a wrestler, it just don’t make sense. Then again Rick Steiner having a feud with Chucky didn’t make sense either, and that didn’t stop network executives from forcing WCW to do it. La Parka is out last, and he gets jumped by Psicosis, Abismo Negro, & Tinieblas Jr.

Gronda, Latin Lover, Televisa Deportes versus Psicosis, Abismo Negro, Tinieblas Jr

The rudos have chairs and just pummel La Parka with them. Abismo Negro takes a steel chair and pounds on Gronda’s steel knee. Ya see, this is simple. Abismo Negro is a smart man. First he knows that Satan has a bad knee. Second he knows that if he lets Satan beat him up, Satan could steal his soul, and his entrance music. Abismo Negro doesn’t want to end up like Hawk.

Winners: Gronda, Latin Lover, Televisa Deportes

Inside the ring, the rudos are upset. The heel referee points out that he tried to help them, but he had to count when both Gronda and Televisa had a pin. We get another shot of the hottie from earlier in the crowd.

Verdict: Decent little bout, but nothing special. I’m not sure what Televisa Deportes was doing there, or what possible good it could be to have a guy with a gimmick like that. I’d rather be the Maytag man then that crap. Still a fast paced brawl, with some cool spots. A exciting main event, albeit short.

NEXT WEEK! They plug Abismo Negro, La Parka, Latin Lover, Jeff Jarrett and KONNAN! Should be a exciting show! We get more views of the sexy ladies who are in the crowd, and then some replays of La Parka getting crunched on the table. We’re out of time!!!!!

Final Thoughts: Overall this was a spectacular show. The opening bout saw a great mix of AAA’s best against super international talent. The match ran 20+ minutes, and was wall to wall action. The hot crowd also helped make it a epic bout. Then we had a great women’s trios match, and everything else was decent and solid. The last two matches weren’t great for their action, but helped progress storylines, which is about all you can ask for. Looks like next week we’ll have some American wrestlers as Jarrett will be in town. Hopefully we’ll get to see that Jarrett/Latin Lover title match that got such a big response. Anyway, a great show and if you taped it you should certainly watch. Otherwise, feel free to email me about anything and everything. I’m off to Grundo, catch ya in 7!
