The recording issues were less than I thought going in, but got pretty annoying by the last half of the show. Let’s note that everytime they do Fuerza Aera/Apache Army Atomicos, my recording gets messed up. I don’t know what the means, but it sure is annoying.
All I got of the opener was is Explosivo is a tall man (or more likely a taller man with small guys.) He could stay, he could go, I don’t care. Aero Star has a great tope, that too.
The good thing about the bloated 3 hour AAA TV show is some matches get plenty of time and make some of it. If AAA was most promotions, with a sane amount of TV time, we’d probably hoping the Apache/Air Force atomicos got booked on a major show, because otherwise it’d be squashed down to fit time commitments. AAA can random undercard 10-15 minute match anytime they want, and usually do, because they’ve got plenty of time and are wise not save it for the main event. This would’ve been better with Laredo Kid remaining conscious for all of it, but it was still pretty fun from what I saw.
The bad thing about the bloated 3 hour AAA TV show is osme matches get plenty of time and make you wish for the sweet release of death. Seriously, whoever booked the women’s tag team match, I hate you. I hate you so much. I’m not a big fan of whoever was producing it either. Not only do we have the Run In That Goes Forever, Copetes is cheating rudos (?!?!) and taking the longest ref bump ever. I have never set my foot in the ring, so what the heck do I know, but I’m thinking you can only pin someone while the ref is out once. The moment you try it again, you look a moron. You know you can’t win, so what are you exactly accomplishing.
There’s like a dozen things I want to complain about that match – why did the Morenos fight to backstage, comeback, and then play no part in the finish – but we’ll be here all day. GET TO THE POINT AND GET OUT.
Are you sorta amazed we’ve gotten this far without Extreme Tiger, Crazy Boy or Joe Lider being badly hurt? Maybe I’m unfair and should be crediting it to skill, but it’s seem just like luck. Extreme Tiger was centimeters from someone really bad, and I don’t know that it meant much. I’m sure it looked real nice in a magazine. So will the photo of the hospital bed.
Should the Cuije Is Fine bit been saved for TripleMania? I dunno, this match might have just been here to make sure we knew Cibernetico was in the building.
Main event was really short, and that was fine. The pecking order is really obvious, as if it hadn’t been for the last year. La Parka Jr. is a spot show draw, and someone who will always been around in an important role. They’ll use Latin Lover as long as they think he’s making them money, but they’re not getting behind him anymore and I don’t know if they believe in him (which makes the Abismo/Latin teases absurd, unless Abismo needs cash.) Cibernetico is the franchise, and the main event is about him.
I agree totally that AAA is behind Ciber and the Hell Brothers 1000%. Latin still gets his cheers in a Shawn Michaels “we still love you aspect.”
But I agree and am starting to notice more and more that, and correct me if I am wrong, they are building Cibernetico as AAA’s answer to the Rock.
And if you DON’T believe that Cibernetico has embodied the Rock’s mannerisms, watch him, he has been watching some Dwayne Johnson DVD’s as of late, LOL.
Yah cubs is right about the way AAA is booking guys. Cibernetico is just not hot enough to be the franchise. Arturo Rivera cheers him more than any fan. La Parka and Latin Lover get the thunderous ovations, and Ciber gets a dull roar. I’m not saying the guy shouldn’t be a main eventer, but the company needs to realize that he can’t be the franchise. It’s just not working.
As a heel Cibernetico is at the top of his game, but as a face he’s just not the best guy for the job.
unless Abismo needs cash.
“”””””””””
AAA owns the gimmick, so Abismo needing cash (which, he supposedly does b/c wife is sick) is irrelevant. In fact, losing his mask would make it easier or him to jump since he would be recognizable without his mask. I think the Abismo-Latin “feud” is more that they’re self promoting than a AAA thing, both Latin Lover and Abismo Negro are or used to be on Televisa shows all the time and they always traded slaps and had stip challenges, but AAA has never really be seriously pushing them into a feud.
I think Wagner and LA Park were also self promoting, since their… “friction” was edited out from the CMLL TV shows until it was inevitable, it backfired on Tapia though.
