AAA on UTDN: 2013-05-23

recap

taped 2013-05-12 @ Plaza de Toros, Durango, Durango

Aerostar crazy dive #1

Aerostar, Atomic Boy, Axel vs El Apache, Eterno, Mamba: The best técnico in the match, and it wasn’t even especially close, is the one guy who has no ongoing program and disappears from this show on months at a time. Go figure. Axel looked nervous and Atomic Boy had some noticeable slips. They were both helped a lot by Gran Apache and Eterno carrying them thru spots; Eterno did a particularly strong job working with Axel and should already be an AAA regular this point. Mamba was not bad either.

 

Aerostar dive #2

Angélico, Drago, Jack Evans vs Argos, Chessman, Halloween: GREAT, and there’s a case for higher than that. Spectacular action packed fight to the finish where everyone looked great. Drago looked superb with whoever he worked with, there was a taste of the Angelico & Jack team they’re setting up here, Argos took so much abuse and kept going, Halloween picked his spots as well as he always does, and Chessman looked like the worthy winner at the end. I guess the complaint could be here was there was too much done in such short of time, or this match didn’t go long enough so they could keep doing more stuff. It was bordering on too much to keep up with (says the guy who writes down everything) but it was a good mix of time and spots for me. There were a couple moments where Angelico’s timing was not so great, but they were small blemishes on a great match. You get 90 more seconds on the UTDN version, that’s the one you want.

Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Silver King, Texano Jr., Villano IV: Okay match the crowd was very loud for. A lot of the normal Psycho Circus match bits V4 looked fine in his return but the trios match set up for TripleMania seemed to come up out of nowhere.
