taped 12/06, part 2 of Guerra de Titanes.
Never seeing Joe Lider & Nicho vs Teddy & Jack will be too soon. Maybe they could change my mind if they had some great matches, but I’m not worried too much about that. Why did they do a prematch promo clearly pushing the “this is the LAST match” when they booked the match to set up another rematch? That’s not a swerve, that’s idiotic.
I’ve been doing a lot of work on dates and tecnico/rudo sides for the database over the last week. Until I set up his start/end dates with AAA, it didn’t occur to me – for all of Rellik’s anger with the company, he was on they for a little over two months. I don’t know if that says something about him, or about how the people who have been there a lot longer feel.
I know every one makes the Batista comparisons to el Padrino and I think I mentioned them too. But…I doubt there are a lot of Batista fans reading this site, but please give that man a little more credit. He’s at least got a presence and a charisma. Padrino is a regular size guy that’s a little better built and completely forgettable over the course of the match. He might as well be working as the Invisible Man for all the impression he makes. I have no idea what AAA sees in him, because there’s nothing there.
Speaking of dumb things – if you have a special referee, he needs to actually be able to do special ref things. Making it a ladder match – which was not previous mentioned, does not fit with the build at all, and does not particularly help either guy – nullifies the importance of having a special referee.
Do they know these ladder matches are bad? And aren’t made better by doing one every single taping? I’m not sure.
You can quickly figure out how long someone’s been watching AAA by how they react to Chessman climbing the ladder to win the title in a match he’s not actually in. You know you’ve watched too long where, in the context of everything else, this seems like a completely credible way to win the championship.
Sorry can’t give Batista any credit. he’s just a little face paint away from being the Ultimate Warrior. He’s already stolen the “shaking the ropes” bit.
That match from GdT was the only one my buddy’s wife was interested. She weeped when Batista got hurt a month ago, but was delighted to see a slightly-smaller Mexican version.
“I have no idea what AAA sees in him”
English promos for the California tour. Gotta make sure you have all your angles covered for 4 shows out of the year.
OH! I forgot my favorite part of the show: when Mesias grabbed the belt off the bungee cord, it didn’t come off, and he went up in the air with it, eventually pulling it free and losing the grip, and watching the belt go ZOOOOOOOOOOM, up into the air and back down. Only in AAA…
