AAA on Televisa: 2014-06-21

recap

taped 2014-06-07 @ Plaza de Toros La Concordia, Orizaba, Veracruz

 

pretty sure Aerostar has am invisible rocket pack

Aerostar, Ludxor, Venum vs Carta Brava Jr., El Apache, Súper Fly: GREAT. The best Cadetes match as a trio yet, I think, though it was greatly helped by the rudos going with everything. Super Fly bumped out of the ring when Aerostar was just flipping around at the start of the match, that’s how good this was. This came off as a really fun opener with no major flaws and a lot of highlights spots by the técnicos. The rudos got just enough to slow down the técnicos and to look competent, but this was build around the big técnico moves and the técnicos had a lot of big moves. This was also one where the post match attack seemed to actively detract from the match; the finish and the match itself were ignored because they had to hurry to attack before AAA cut to something else. It should’ve been treated like it was a pretty good match, but instead it came off as a bit irrelevant.

Super Fly goes into the crowd

Fantasma crushes Angelico

Angélico vs Dark Scoria, Australian Suicide, Bengala, Hijo del Fantasma, Fénix, Pentagón Jr., Jack Evans in a Number One Contenders Match for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship: Good match. Some neat spots, and some iffyness. Crowd was surprisingly not at all into this until just before the finish (when then suddenly all got behind Bengala, who hadn’t played a big role in the match until he won.) They last section of the match went very long, would’ve been stronger if the crowd was more into the near falls, and had some not great moments. (Pentagon Jr., who otherwise had a strong match, popping right up from the inverted huracanrana because he had to get to the next stop really stuck out.) Australian Suicide giving Pentagon Jr. a Spanish Fly to the floor onto a bunch of people is one of the best dumb ideas I’ve seen. Suicide was also the only one dumb enough to break up a pinfall and it’s karmic justice that he was immediately beat. I think Pentagon Jr. did a crazy move to Fenix before Fenix got eliminated, I’m pretty sure of it, but they didn’t show it with a decent camera angle and never got a replay.

Spanish Fly into everyone

Myzteziz easy tope

Cibernético, La Parka, Myzteziz vs Averno, Chessman, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo: Good. Really simply a usual AAA main event, but with guys working very hard for the occasion. Myzteziz was determined to look good and get over in his first match here and did both – only the finish didn’t look good, but everything else with great. Myzteziz came off as the old Místico, and definitely not damaged goods. It seemed to bring up the level of everyone else too, with Parka seeming to do a lot more than usual. Texano & Psycho Clown’s run-in seemed so random, and the post match shots didn’t do much to associate Psycho with Myzteziz (which was obviously the plan.) The crowd was into the match, but they were surprising not all that much into the Perro Jr. vs Myzteziz standoff they did during the match.
