2011 AAA TV Recap
Mexico: 10/30?
Tickets go on sale this week, so the lineup made the papers. Probably isn’t supposed to get around this early, but there’s nothing that seems like a spoiler here. Perros on the show (though no Damian…), no Psycho Circus, but you could read in both outcomes on that. AAA’s used Jack & Tiger in differnet matches enough times that shouldn’t mean much either.
LA Park could be turning on the rudos at Heroes Inmortales and still be teaming with them here; that’s about normal. He still seems to be matched up against Zorro here. Drago is back on TV (at least in a match) for the first time since the Queretaro taping. On that show, Chessman took Drago out with two straight powerbombs on the hard apron. Drago did get stretchered out, but it wasn’t clear that was meant to be a long term injury angle since people getting sterchered out frequently show up the next week (if not sooner) and there’s been no follow up on it. I’m still not sure if it was meant to be an injury angle, though he was on spot shows in the meantime.
Drago in the main event is a nice bump up for him, but Fenix in the semimain is the real surprise. He’s been great in the first couple of matches, but being great in the first couple of matches usually just keeps you in the first couple of matches for a few years until they hesitantly put you in the tercera when they can remember you exist (where are Laredo Kid and Aerostar, anyway?) Fenix is skipping all that, at least for the moment, by making it to the semimain. This is a big opportunity, but if he’s as good as he’s been in those other matches, it might be the start of something big.
Article lists Lokillo & Maniaco/Trolli as actually in the tercera, but they’re probably just hanging out. This is Decnnis’ first match as a Maniaco, for sure.
Still setting up the Lider/Nicho match in the segunda. No idea on the opener.
Next taping is 10/30 in Pachuca. I wouldn’t expect that lineup to turn up any time soon, but I didn’t expect this one.
10/13 Edit: Minis and women are the missing opener. Top two matches begin to look more like storyline progression than any wrestling action. (Like, Fenix is there to be awesome, but to generate sympathy when his partner turns on him.)
Lovin this card, Fenis in the semi main along with Jack which should be absolutely crazy and Drago in the main event with Chessman there should be awesome, hope they really get that feud goin.
Amazing lineup. I’m just mad we have to wait a month to see it on TV!
Guessing Drago/LA Park won’t actually interact in the main event b/c it would cause the world to explode from how awesome they’d work together.
Something Cornette said on WON Radio the other week was very AAA appropriate. Someone should send Konnan the audio. Cornette was talking about how sometimes wrestlers get stale and all you have to do is send them away for a while b/c the fans can’t miss you if you’re always around. The Heavy Metal/Electro Shock/Silver King/Ultimo Gladiador foursome is the definition of what Cornette said. They’ve run their course and there is no use for them to be around (at least on TV) any more.
