What happened:
Dave the Clown ran out, got beat up by Parka, but distracted him enough for Parka Negra to get in a foul for the win in the main event.
The scheduled Aerostar/Drago/Fantasma vs Texano/Rey Escorpión/Mesias match was changed to Drago/Angelikal vs Texano/Escorpion vs Murder/Monster. It appears Aerostar missed the show because Lucha Underground was still filming this week after all. Mesias was also in Los Angeles, but missed missed the show because he quit AAA.
As usual when they lose, Murder and Monster attacked the winners and fought them to a standstill.
Again, Estrella Divina attacked Ashley for losing. Mamba & Pimpinela tried to convince Ashley not to go with Divina after the match, but she didn’t listen.
Thoughts:
Two Twitch streams this week. Not much happening on any of them, and not much good action. If you didn’t stay up until 11pm, you might want to check out the opener and the OGT match, or you could just safely skip this one too.
Copa Perros del Mal was done as a slow, boring battle royal. The final four were in the ring for an extended amount of time, full of undramatic eliminations teases. La Parka and Parka Negra was never going to be good as a singles match, and AAA could’ve made this better by just doing the Dave the Clown interference spot earlier. They really didn’t care about anything other than making La Parka the big deal, and it was tedious thing to watch.
The semimain went a long time but didn’t feel like as much happened as previous matches. It was just slow and had a lot of standing and punching to minimal effectiveness. Blue Demon isn’t any more interesting as a rudo. The finish made sense for where they’re going, which made it shocking by AAA standards. The crowd seemed very into these guys coming out for the match but not much into the match. I’m not sure if that’s what it sounded like live; it felt like the crowd sound wasn’t coming thru here any better than it did in Rey de Reyes.
Alvarados/OGT felt like a Tuesday CMLL main event, without the falls breaks. There wasn’t the opening mat section either, but the rudos got control of the match quickly, the técnicos made a comeback, and there was a clean finish. The action kept moving even if it never got all that interesting, and it turned out to be a solid match. Like those Tuesday matches, this was nothing I’ll look back at but worked for the crowd, and was easily the best match for the Alvarados as a trio here so far and the best match of the night.
I could go a long time without seeing Monster & Murder Clown in a match again. Maybe they’re awesome people. They’re on these shows too much and always in matches that aren’t any good. This was a lot of nothing brawling and between the two rudo teams and beating up the técnico teams for about five minutes before they made their comeback. This match was predictable a lot better when the Traidor Clowns were not involved, even though it never lasted for long. Argenis slipped on his Brillo dive, but Murder Clown also should’ve adjust and moved forward to catch him. He decided not to move and to make sure he still got in his powerbomb spot. Escorpión & Texano as tag team contenders seems like underutilized them but still could be pretty good.
The situation in the second match called for the Perros del Mal to get a nice win. They lost cleanly to La Parka instead. The match actually started out OK but turned into a usual La Parka match of rudo bumbling around to hit each in place of Parka doing offense. Everyone else was fine, the new Parka Negra is a good addition to the act because he can move better than Lider can at this point. It just was a deflating match.
The opener moved along pretty well for the time it went. Mamba taking the Apache slap everyone spot is a nice homage. The slap spot to set up the finish looked really bad live, but a lot better in the replay. It would be nice if a comeback started in a Pimpinela match some other way than someone running into her backside. It seems to have happened in a hundred matches in a row, and got no reaction in this one. Otherwise, Pimpinela seemed better than usual. Dinastia was on the rudo side and didn’t really worked rudo. He did get to have a couple of nice sequences with Lanzelot, which also picked up the match when they happened. Both made this a better match than it was in Cuernavaca, and it was not far off from a good match.
