AAA #865 (01/03)

taped 12/06, part 1 of Guerra de Titanes.

This was the good half of Guerra de Titanes, for sure. And that only lasted half the show.

Apaches & Morenos is never not good. It’s also never not head crushing on the finish. It would’ve been nice if it wasn’t clipped up and if the Bily Boy angle was built better, but this is as good as postives come in 2008.

Sect vs DMex was the best DMex since they’ve been here. It’s also like the second. I still think what made Alex & Rocky unique in CMLL doesn’t make them stick out in AAA, but I’m more than willing to wait and give them a chance. More hope there than elsewhere. The Sect hasn’t been beat down bad enough to give up yet, which is nice. I bet that was not the 2008 they though they were getting.

Latin/Konnan was not made for people on the internet to recap. There is some to be gleemed from it – part of Latin’s deal to be here must be “I get to kill everyone” and Konnan does not believe Konnan can wrestle a singles match of any signifcant length (and yet, the post-GdR booking sure seems to point to a singles match between Konnan and Mesias.)

Cage match was the usually worthless bit. Unless they have real big plans for Elegido & Guapito, why not give Porky the win so someone actually wins their feud? The idea of pushing Elegido by having him win the match isn’t really there when he didn’t win it – Brazo lost to Guapito technically, and it’s not like Elegido did anything particular to defeat him. Months of feuding for a comedy finish, yay.

One thought to “AAA #865 (01/03)”

  1. Let me begin by saying that ever since I heard the “woo woo woo woo woo” chants in Gran Apache’s entrance it always sounded like it was the commentators doing it over the microphone as opposes to having it recoreded into “we will rock you.” On this show it was confermed that it’s the commentators when you can hear the guy caughing and gagging before doing it. Hilarious, ha ha ha.

    This was a great show which is not usuaual for AAA these days.

    The only thing I didn’t like was D-Mex. Those guys are just annoying and don’t belong in Luch Libre. They belong on some indy show, inside a sleezy bar. X-Pac has not evolved since 1998 and that’s all this is. It’s Konnan and X-Pac thinking that what was schoking in 1998 is still shocking today. The stupid thing is that they actually beleive they can recreate a 1998 D-X, in Mexico with those three guys.

    The Latin Lover vs Konnan match wasn’t really Latin Lover vs Konnan, it was Latin Lover vs Konnan, Teddy Hart, Jack Evans, Arturo Rivera, and Hijo del Tirantes. It looked like Konnan had the match booked that way so he can avoid actually wrestling. I think he’s still not 100% ready to wrestle. But in any case the victory made Latin look VERY strong since he just beat 5 guys and it gave me a sense of satisfaction seeing Konnan’s plan blow up in his face. I LOVED it.

    I liked the cage match. That’s what AAA is all about. Great way to end the show.
