AAA also has a travel/tourism package, so I’d guess the unusual pick of Tepic as a location is because of some greater tourism deal. If you’re going, you’re probably going because you want to check out the city and you also get a TV taping thrown in, not because there’s anything super compelling here.

The main event is the Aguascalientes main event plus Jeff Jarrett & Mesias added to each side. Jeff Jarrett is treated like he’s important by AAA but not as much by the fans. The rest of the match is a repeat, and another instance of AAA pushing off anything meaningful the second half of the year. This is weird – I don’t really want to see La Parka/Parka Negra or Perro/Jarrett but they would understandable be more marketable matches. There’s a good chance the atomicos format could hide more weakness and actually turn out to be the better match, but it’s also not a big main event for a major show.

I would guess Mesias beats Jarrett to balance out his loss to AJ, but it’s Jarrett in AAA so anything is possible.

You’d think the Rockers (remember them?) or La Secta would’ve gotten a shot.

Again, just like Texano & Psycho Clown, this could be an actually good match but the program has gone on way too long and the mere existence of it is a turnoff. They’ve also centered things on Hijo del Tirantes, which means nothing really matters until he starts rejected Psycho Circus possible wins and Tirantes either gets away with it or gets replaced by Piero (probably the latter this time.) Nothing matters until that occurs and that’s not an novel occurrence.

Blue Demon Jr. and Electroshock will attempt to have a super technical match and good luck to them.

The mystery spot in the women/exotico’s match – which may actually turn out to be the final match given they have to set up and tear down a cage – should have been Mary Apache based on the build up. Maybe Dorian got her booked in Japan too. I’d guess it’s now the return of Sexy Star (and she’ll be right back to feuding with Faby Apache in Consejo/Psycho fashion), but it’ll be one of the exoticos who lose their hair.

First two matches both look outstanding; coincidentally or not, they’re both the matches AAA didn’t set up at all and just threw guys out there. They’re also both likely only airing on UTDN. (AAA could run better CMLL style cards than CMLL could run AAA cards.) Pentagon Jr. on the rudo team kind of looks like a replacement for Juvi, but it may just be coincidence since Eterno is still on the team and he’s unlikely due to injury. The trios match works, but the card would’ve seemed a bit more special if they had split into two title matches – Fenix vs Pentagon, Jack/Angelico vs Eterno/Pain. Seven matches, three for titles, would’ve had the look of a more meaningful card. I have almost no problem with the trios, but it’d be helpful for those titles to mean something more often and doing the title matches now wouldn’t prevent them from doing them again later.

Machine Rocker returns against three awesome tecnicos! This is a combination sure to work well.  I am not really excited about this card overall, but those opening matches are much better than I thought we’d get out of Guerra de Titanes. I wish the card was overall stronger for AAA’s own sake – if this draws more than half a house, I’d credit local promotion and the newness of the arena over anything on the card – but they’re giving something to look forward to with the first couple matches.

AAA’s last taping of the year is on 12/14, though it probably won’t air until 2014.

5 thoughts to “12/08 AAA TV Lineup (Guerra de Titanes)”

  1. Such an odd card. Like a mind boggling card. That main event has to be one of the weaker main events AAA can put out. Like whats the novelty in that main event? There are no strong rudos on that rudo side. Having Chessman instead of Psicosis would make that a MUCH better match. And who cares for Consejo vs the clowns? The cage match is also mind boggling. Why build the match around Cuervo having a bounty on Fabi’s hair and wanting Mari to take it and not have her in the match?

    Only positives are the first two matches. And the cage match which could have some fun moments. Overall though, whats the draw here? The first time they run a big show in Tepic? I expect a low turnout.

  2. “First two matches both look outstanding; coincidentally or not, they’re both the matches AAA didn’t set up at all and just threw guys out there.”

    DIED.

    Those first two matches look amazing and will be great because everyone in those matches is super talented. Rest of the card is a usual crummy TV taping though.

    Elevating Fenix into a main eventer lasted *3 shows*!!! That’s 2 more than I expected. Why can’t we get Fenix vs Hijo Del Fantasma again? Why are we wasting Fantasma in a pointless trios match?

    Poor Daga. His name is smaller than Karen’s on the poster.

    It’s just amazing out of all the talented guys on this show the only singles match they found a way to book was Demon vs Electro.

    Really really really disappointing booking in the second half of the year. I understand you’re waiting for March & El Rey but you could easily do better than this. I had such high hopes after Tonala and it all went down the shitter when Jeff Jarrett appeared on TV.

    And where’s Aero Star? According to Konnan himself after Heroes Inmortales the plan was to put him with the Cadets but he did so good the new plan was him and Drago to stay as a team in bigger matches. Every fucking year it’s a new plan what they’re gonna do with Aero Star and nothing ever happens. Meanwhile he thinks if he keeps jumping from 30 feet in the air it’ll get him on TV. I feel so bad for the guy. And it’s weird when on one podcast you have an AAA booker mocking WWE for not pushing Daniel Bryan even though the fans want it but then on his own shows he has Australian Suicide (random example since I love this guy!) on every taping but Aero Star is nowhere to be found even though he has his own fan club & signs in the crowd on shows he isn’t even on. So when WWE does it they’re stupid and ignoring their fans but when AAA does the exact same thing they’re… what?

    What exactly is stopping Aero Star and the other Rocker from being added to the opener? Nothing. There are clearly no plans for Aero Star and never will be. It’s all just talk. Need to focus on the real important things like making sure Jeff Jarrett has a good vacation.

    Since I’m on a roll…

    What happened to AAA Fusion/Evolucion brands?

    BOOM.

  3. Just to show how easy it would be to make a better card using much of the same talent in less than 5 minutes I re-booked Guerra de Titanes using 90% of the same guys. Dare you to tell me my card isn’t way more interesting:

    Cibernetico/Perro Aguayo Jr./Mesias vs Psicosis/Pentagon Jr./Escoria

    Angelico/Jack Evans vs Texano Jr./Silver King – AAA Tag Team Titles

    Women/Exoticos – Cage

    Fenix vs Hijo Del Fantasma vs Daga vs Blue Demon Jr. – AAA Fusion/Latin American Title (whoever gets pinned wins/loses belt)

    Psycho Circus vs Steve Pain/Eterno/Juventud Guerrera – AAA Trios Titles

    Dinastia vs Mini Charly Manson – AAA Mini’s Title

    Venum/Ludxor/Aero Star vs Apache/Machine Rocker/Soul Rocker

  4. Agree with Rob, it is easy to make the card better just by shuffling the card around.

    Mine’s below. I’ve left Jeff Jarrett on the card to be consistent.

    Cibernetico & Mesias vs 2 members of La Secta

    Perro Aguayo Jr, Fenix & La Parka VS Jeff Jarrett, Daga & Parka Negra

    Psycho Circus vs Cadetes del Espacio vs La Anarquia – AAA Trios Titles

    Women / Exoticos – Cage & Apuesta

    Blue Demon Jr vs Hijo del Fantasma – Latin American Title

    Angelico & Jack Evans vs Texano Jr & Silver King – AAA Tag Team Titles

    Dinistia vs Mini Charly Manson – AAA Mini’s Title

  5. Even though you left Jeff Jarrett in the lineup I will forgive you and still watch your show over the actual lineup.
