AAA on Televisa #889 (06/13/2009)
Recap: sometime in June

Last Week: everyone ran down the TripleMania card, though it took a little longer for it to actually appear

This week: Mesias/Latin/Marco vs Electro/Chessman/Kenzo, plus Dr. Wagner being Dr. Wagner. Also, Parka/Super Fly vs the Black Family. Also, here's about as much of Santo now as you see during the rest of the show. Way to ruin the dramatic surprise in the first five seconds!

Match 1: Billy Boy, Decnnis, El Brazo vs Argenis, Gato Eveready, Pimpinela Escarlata
Domo de la Feria de Leon, 05/18/2009

Winner: Rudos
Match Time: 9:15
Rating: OK
Notes: Entrances, huh. El Brazo dances for us. Guapito enters after his two former (current) partner, to the Perros music. Decnnis claps a lot for his former partner as he walks to the ring. Rudos jump Pimpi as she turns to talk to the announcers. Ref is Tropicasas.

Guapito freely interferes, helping the rudos choke Pimpi with his own boa. Rudos whip Guapito, which actually works, unlike every match for two months before the break up. Decnnis and Billy work well together, what a shock. They're set up for a lot of Brazo fat spots. Brazo himself continued by yelling “VIVA AMERICA” many times. Argenis remains the top contender in the flyweight division. He tries to get 1 on two run on the ex- Barrios, but they drop him, and help Brazo off the top rope for a falling splash. Brazo actually thinks about pinning him , but decides to argue instead. Clip in here. Brazo running across the ring is a challenge. Guapito whipped in, but Pimpi turns around and Guapito's face runs into Pimpi's backside. High flying tecnicos rush into the ring, Pimpi teases Brazo with a kiss. Gato misses a pescado the outside, but lands on his feet and ends up with a nifty apron push off headscissors. Yet another clip, and I suppose that's the way this show is going. Pimpi plays ping pong with Decnnis and Brazo before knocking them both out. Billy jumps on Pimpi, but Pimpi comes back with the usual springboard armdrag. Clip in here – are they editing out kiss spots? Pimpi fakes a dive, and slaps Billy on the backside, causing them to fight among themselves. No, there's a kiss on el Brazo, no edit there. Billy slaps Argenis around quite easily, but Argenis comes back with headscissors. There's a spot where Billy takes a rolling bump for no precipitable reason, then Argenis superkicks him out and follows with a tope con giro. Gato in, being Gato. Brazo tosses him around, then yells in his ear. Gato comes back with a big hiptoss and a scream of his own. They do a sequence with Gato, Decnnis and Billy, and amazingly it works out well. Big spinning DDT (or something like it) on Billy, then he's kicked into dropkicking Decnnis out, then Gato dropkicks him out. Clip again to chaos. Pimpi's end out, Brazo accidentally backdrops Decnnis out, Pimpi comes in but gets pulled down by her hair, Gato springboard off of her to dropkick Brazo out. Pimpi kiss Gato, then sends him running for this tornillo – Decnnis caught him out, looked like he was going to hurt his knee there. Pimpi gets Brazo with an armdrags off the apron, and Billy and Argenis back in. Argenis looks unsteady as Billy charges. Argenis flips him to the apron and kicks at him thru the ropes, Billy catches the foot, and Guapito sweeps him by kicking the other leg. Slingshot elbow, 1.5 kickout. Pepe argues with Guapito after the fact. Whip, Argenis back with a moonsault, one two Guapito tells Pepe to stop counting. Casas does, to argue with Guapito instead. Billy of the ropes, 'rana, Argenis rolls thru, Tropicasas looks at the pin, starts to go over to count, remembers he's not supposed for this one and turns around to argue with no in particular as Guapito runs by. So bad. Guapito turns over ht pin with a big dropkick, and helps Billy stay on top, one two three. Argenis is not the captain, oh well.

Konnan is in the ring promo. Insulting the people. He recaps the story so far – cage match, Roldan's pick Octagon and La Parka. Konnan reminds us his picks are Silver King & Kenzo Suzuki. Konnan still wants to hear the third pick. Roldan, in the usual Pena seats, indicates he'll do it later. Konnan blah blah Superman is not real blah blah blah

Vignette: Gato complains about the crazyness in the match – not the finish, but Pimpi kissing him again. He can't take any more of that in matches. Pimpi comes over, and Gato walks off while Pimpi is expressing his love. Pimpi is crushed that Gato is gone, but decides to take Argenis ias a replacement. Argenis wishes for Gato to come back so he can leave.

Noti AAA

Recap: Cruiserweight Tournament – great that they're showing us the first round matches they just had the guy who won the tournament doing an interview with the belt.

Promo: Laredo Kid – well, until Super Fly makes a run in, to apologize for being a jerk lately. Laredo Kid accepts his apology and shakes his hand – but Super Fly wants it very clear that Laredo was still very lucky to beat a main event guy like Super Fly. Laredo shakes his head.

Match 2: Laredo Kid vs Alan Stone in a tournament semifinal match for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship and
Domo de la Feria de Leon, 05/18/2009

Winner: Alan Stone
Match Time: 4:19
Rating: too short to be anything
Notes:I wonder who will win! Piero is ref. There's a clip during introductions! This will not go well.

Laredo misses a dropkick off the bat, hitting the corner and flipping. Alan runs him over with a big boot. CLIP. Both outside, Laredo boots off Alan to the apron, then boosts of the middle rope for an Asai moonsault. Both rest of the floor. Replays. Laredo pulls Alan in and shoves him in the corner. Chest slap fighting, Laredo winning with a kick. Corner whip, corner handspring I have no idea. Laredo lands on his feet, sort of kicked Alan in the front of his right leg, and Alan did a front roll bump. Laredo yells at goes up. Top rope tornillo moonsault comes up empty. Alan charges Laredo in the corner, corner clothesline. Alan rallying for cheers. Corner charge, Laredo boost him to the apron, Laredo misses a chop, CLIP. Alan in, over Laredo's head with a headscissors cradle, reversed, reversed again, one two and Laredo's into the ropes anyway. Laredo misses a clothesline, Alan grabs him with waistlock, cinches it in, and pulls him over for a German suplex. One two no. Alan pounds the mat frustrated. Chest slap. Whip, reversed, Laredo with a hard spinebuster. Laredo drags Alan sort of near the corner, but not really lined up too close. Going up. This should be interesting. 3450 splash just gets there, one two NO. Whip by Laredo, Alan back, ducking slowly under the clothesline, off the ropes again, walking up Laredo into a headscissors cradle, one two no. We're getting move, two count, move two count, from one minute into the match. Here's a clip too. Alan sunset flip, Laredo grabs on to Piero to get leverage (?) but Alan rolls forward to reverse into another cradle, one two no. Laredo kicks to the back of Alan, Headlock. Now letting him back up for forearms. Alan back with his own forearms. Alan off the ropes, climbing up Laredo headscissors again, but this time cinching the legs, one two three. FOUR MINUTES.

Promo: Alex Koslov – he could care less about X-Pac/Zorro, he's here for the title.

Promo: Nicho spends less time yelling, but then he already has a belt.

Match 4: Alex Koslov vs Nicho el Millionario in a tournament semifinal match for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship
Domo de la Feria de Leon, 05/18/2009

Winner: Alex Koslov
Match Time: 9:43 (6:47+2:56)
Rating: Fine, but nothing memorable
Notes: No entrances. I wonder who's going to win. Piero is ref.

Circle. Lockup, no, Nicho knee, forearm. Whip, corner clothesline, corner clothesline, bulldog. Alex set up on the top rope, and pulled off into a spinning DDT. One two no. Chest kicks. Chop fight. Nicho stops that with an eye poke. Whip, Alex cartwheels over and backflips, Nicho ducks a clothesline, Alex stops him. He wears those elbow pads just to toss them off, right? Nicho just stands there for ten seconds watch this, then charges - right into a hiptoss. Armdrags. Alex tries a n armbar takedown, but Nicho kinda sorta blocks it. Nicho seems to try a rolling leg scissors, but Alex rolls thru that for the Red Scare. Nicho pound the mat – but the say he's not giving up. Nicho's clearly under the ropes, but Piero hasn't noticed, or forgot that's the the rule, or something. Nicho has to crawl a bit to actually grab the ropes so they can move on. What's weird the weird zooming band back picture this week? Alex throws Nicho in the a corner, moves him over the ropes. Corner whip, clothesline misses, back elbow misses, Alex grabs the ropes for no reason, Nicho charges and misses a dropkick thru the ropes when Lex moves. Alex tope con giro connects.

Nicho is back in first, Alex waits for him form the apron. Springboard forearm connects. One two no. Forearm. Whip, Alex puts his head down too son, and Nicho throw shim down. Legdrop, legdrop, I guess that's it. Nicho picks up Alex, and sets him the Tree of Woe. Backing all the way up, and walking for a dropkick to the chest. Replay, as Nicho makes money motions to the crowd. Stomp to the face. Whip, Alex grabs the ropes and waves Nicho, Nicho changes and gets flipped to the apron. Alex forearm him, and goes out, but Nicho fights him off and turns it into a reverse DDT on the apron. Nicho gets some hares from the crowd, and sets them up outside the ring. Alex is sat down into them, then Nicho goes back in – tornillo into the empty chairs, Alex having bailed out of the way. Piero, of course, is actually counting them out. Lots of replays of the miss – Nicho hit one chair directly with his knee. Alex brings him back in. Chop. Clip. Alex and Nicho on the top rope, Alex 'rana reversed into a superbomb. One two no. Nicho out to send on the middle buckle and yell at some fans for no reason, so Alex pulls him of for a sunset flip, one two no. Break.

Nicho is somehow on the outside, so Alex launches and connects on a springboard plancha. Alex crawls back in first, Nicho in after him. Nicho's punches are blocked, Alex's punches are not. Whip, reversed, Alex stops short of hitting Piero, Nicho charges in, Alex moves, and Nicho forearms Piero hard. Naturally, Alex immediately gets Nicho in the Red Scare, and this time Nicho is pounding the mat to tap out. Alex lets go, and checks on Piero. Nicho gets up behind him, smiling. Forward legsweep faceslam thingamabob. Nicho goes out, grabs a chair, sets it in the ring, and starts to whip Alex towards – the other way, actually. Alex reverses it, and connects on his jumping enziguri, sending Nicho in the chair. Alex overs, but Piero is still out. Alex turns to check on him again, and Nicho hammers him with the chair to the back. Marco Corleone has apparently seen enough, because he's out to argue with Nicho. Alex gets up, tosses the chair to Nicho, Nicho misses on a swing, and Alex springboard dropkicks it into him. Now Piero's completely awake, pone two three, now Piero's dead again. Marco really didn't do anything there.

Are they going to show us all of Evans/Tiger in this clip? Hey, there's Santo again.

Vignette: Marco and Alex talk about Marco helping him out there – Alex is kinda insistent that he didn't want any help, which surprises Marco.

Vignette: Teddy fires up Jack for this match. Jack's still upset about not having won this last, and feels like he's only getting the rematch because of his connections. Jack hopes that Nicho goes all the way so they can face off in the finals – guess he hasn't watched the previous matches. Or the video package in Noti AAA! Teddy says he'll be in Jack's corner, guaranteeing the win, but Jack wants to do it himself. Teddy says Konnan said they've got to get the win and he needs to be there. Jack just wants this one night to prove himself. Teddy says it doesn't like it – Jack's not being a team player.

Vignette: Tiger is sitting in a chair, which is not in a tree. The lights are all off for this vignettes. Tiger seems sure he should've won too.

Match 3: Jack Evans vs Extreme Tiger in a tournament semifinal match for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship
Domo de la Feria de Leon, 05/18/2009

Winner: Extreme Tiger
Match Time: 9:31 (4:40+3:51)
Rating: not something I remember at all a month later
Notes: No entrances. I wonder who will win! Hijo de Tirantes is ref.

Tiger rushes Evans and knocks him over with a dropkick. Quick to the top rope, top rope flip moonsault misses, and Jack knocks him over with a jumping spinning kick. One two no. Driving elbows to the back of Tiger's neck. Tiger kicked back under the bottom rope. Jack picks him up, ties him to the ropes, and works him over with a side kicks. Off the ropes, kick is caught, Tiger spins him into the ropes and kicks him in the back. Off the ropes, running dropkick to the back. Cover – any time you want to count, Hijo de Tirantes, that'd be great. I think that was more general incompetent than cheating, but Hijo de Tirantes is making it look the other this time. Chet slap. Chop. I like how this crane camera looks much worse than every other camera tonight, so they keep on using it. Corner whip, Jack flips to the apron, Jack kicks Tiger away, both springboard, Tiger connects on his dropkick. Tiger off the ropes, Jack went thru the ropes with a dropkick, and springboard double stomps him in the back. Cover, one two no. That seemed about fair to me, but the crowd is on Hijo de Tirantes for getting down to count faster. Missed clothesline by Jack is turned into a Northern lights suplex one two Jack breaks the bridge. Corner whip, Tiger charges, Jack flips out ahead of him, then flips forward into a spinning kick. Jack charges, handspring backpress into him and out to the apron, springboard spinning kick to the head in. One two NO. Jack takes his time setting up a whip, barring the arm and kicking Tiger first. Whip is reversed anyway, but Evans kicks away Tiger's clothesline, then clocks him in the back of the head with a spinning kick. Jack backs up, charges Tiger in the corner, gets flipped to the apron but knocks Tiger down. Jack slowly climb up, so Tiger climbs up after him, scoops him on his shoulders, and drops him on the corner buckles for a gutbuster. Jack lands on the apron, and Tiger dropkicks him to the floor. Tiger stops to pose, then collapses. Teddy out – and attacking Tiger! Punches, press and dropped on the barricade. Teddy spits at him and helps Jack up, but Jack is ticked, shoving him and throwing him out. Big shove there to knock Teddy down, and Hijo de Tirantes ha to go out to separate them. Teddy is ticked, and takes it out on the fans. Teddy stomps Tiger and whips him, but Tiger reverses it – a shot of Teddy, and a abrupt break.

Jack gets kicked in the face on the apron, and falls back outside. Tiger grabs a couple of chairs, sets Jack into them, and ignores Hijo de Tirantes pleas not to do it – tope con giro off the apron, into Jack. How do the chairs actually help there? He can't move backwards to catch him, and Tiger should've used that here. Hijo de Tirantes tries to help Jack up and in, but Jack shoves him away. Tiger throws in Jack anyway, and there's a few clips here. Whip, Jack springboards out over Tiger, running high kick misses, Tiger lands a jumping spinning kick to the face. Tiger split legged jawbreaker. One two no. Hijo de Tirantes helping Jack to get up, but Jack shoves him away again. Tiger charges Jack, but Jack dropkicks while going over the ropes. Jack's springboard kick misses, but a running knee connects. Jack standing twisting moonsault, one two Tiger grabs the bottom rope. Jack slams Tiger, and heads up. Tiger forearms Jack, jack fights him off, and both just fall into the ring. Teddy back out again, this time with music. Teddy going up, top rope elbow drop on Jack. Teddy and Hijo de Tirantes share a shrug of “he had it coming”. Tiger up, double underhook piledriver-ish DDT, one two three.

Jack recovers and gets into a shoving fight with Teddy and Hijo de Tirantes. Teddy shoves him down and stomps, as the rest of the Legion (which includes the Dark Family this week) show up. Konnan shoves Teddy to stop him from fighting. Hey, look, Chessman. Remember when the Dark Family and Chessman hated each other? AAA doesn't! Kenzo, Elector are here too. Konnan demands a handshake, but Jack says no. Teddy says no too. Teddy walks out, so Konnan has Ozz & Cuervo put Jack on their shoulders and carry him like the winner he should be. Scoria quickly scurries up the corner, and dropkicks him off. You could see it was coming, and it was till great. Stomp down. Electro powerbombs him. Chessman gives him the Atlantida drop. Teddy wants him, for a cradle DDT onto a chair. Jack is probably bleeding at his point, but we can't quite see it because people are crowding him. Ah, there it is. Took a while to get going, I guess. Teddy punches him in the head more. Kenzo holds Jack up, and Electro gives him a hard shot. Stomp down, and the rudos drag Jack to the back for more, I guess.

Yes, more, because we see them stomping Jack all the way out of the arena out into the parking lot. Into the trash can you go. Kenzo tries to help but Teddy wants him for himself. Teddy tries to smash a door into Jack's head, but Jack moves in time. Teddy tries to punch him, Jack moves again, and Teddy smashes a fire extinguisher's case glass. Jack kicks Teddy away and forearm him down. Chessman tries to come in, but Konnan gets him to back off as Jack jumps on Teddy. Now the rudos help again, and stomp him down. Trash can is setup on it's side for a big piledriver, but it actually breaks before Teddy gives it to him. Oh well. Konnan talks trash as we see a replay – yep, the can broke. Why did they show a replay?

Promo: Dr. Wagner talks about teaming with Parka and (some kid named) Super Fly, but he's focused on Mesias.

Promo: Parka talks about being in the cage match.

Match 5: Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz vs Dr. Wagner Jr., La Parka Jr., Super Fly
Domo de la Feria de Leon, 05/18/2009

Winner: Tecnicos
Match Time: 11:00 (4:54+6:06)
Rating: exactly what you expect
Notes: Entrances. Wagner gets the last entrance. Rudos do not attack off the whistle, surprising me greatly. Tropicasas is ref.

Parka does his usual in about a minute. Wagner actually sells for a bit before making his no-selling comeback. Just as it's Super Fly's turn, the rudos start their beatdown. Wagner makes sure he can pose in between shots, and then fights on the announce desk for no reason. Off into the crowd, too, with some vendor's entire supplies being dropped on the floor so Wagner can get the cheap basket and bring it back to the ring, and hand it to Ozz to hit him with it. Dark Family tie Parka and Wagner together for a pose, and Super Fly break sit up with a missile dropkick. Comeback stuff, Ozz and Wagner fight a bit, and Wagner gives him the Wagner Driver for the win.

Promo: Konnan talks to the trio in the next match. Jack's kicked out for dancing!

Promo: Mesias. Did this get edited? I clearly have stopped paying attention at this point. Like Wagner, he spends more time talking about TripleMania than tonight's match.

Promo: Latin & Marco.

Match 6: Latin Lover, Marco Corleone, Mesias vs Chessman, Electro Shock, Kenzo Suzuki
Domo de la Feria de Leon, 05/18/2009

Winner: Rudos via countout
Match Time: 11:38
Rating: nothing
Notes: Before the entrances, Dr. Wagner returns to join the announcers. Chessman's music cuts off Wagner's speech. Ref is Hijo de Tirantes, who is screwing Mesias over in no time.

I could transcribe Mesias vs electroshock, or I could move on with my life. The Electroshock's RKO that someone was saying was better than Randy Orton's turns up here. I think the difference is Orton's victims don't immediately pop up and start their own comeback. Latin is set to face Chessman, but we see a lot of crowd shots until he gets Electro instead. Match peaks with Chessman dancing. Latin goes thru all three rudos. Marco is last for his usual. Rudos take over at 7:00, with Mesias getting distracted by Dr. Wagner being at the boot and his partners getting jumped. Electro gives Latin a lame giant swing. Tecnicos makes their comeback at 9, with Kenzo missing a charge and flying to the outside on his own. Latin planchas Electro and Kenzo (and almost Mesias, crawling away to get away form this for whatever reason.) Marco clothesline Chessman out, and follows with his plancha to the outside. Nicho turns up here, with a revenge chair shot form earlier. Hijo de Tirantes I actually counting everyone out. Mesias argues with Wagner, as Wagner points out maybe he should go back in. Hijo de Tirantes gets to 19, stop counting, waves Electro in, and counts 20. That's fantastic. Dark Family rush to ringside to attack Mesias, almost knocking thru the announce desks. Mesias rams thru a cameraman with one of them, but the rudos take control. Chessman and Electro just observe from inside the ring, then get around to stopping Latin. Mesias is dragged to the back, while Marco and Latin are beat in the ring. Teddy and Konnan pass him, going the other way. Wagner ponders making the save. The Dark Family return, Mesias nowhere in sight. Konnan demands to know AAA's third man.

Roldan appears at the entrance, and introduces his third man – El Hijo del Santo. We see him standing and waiving at the entrance, while everyone in the ring does their best “I can not believe it! It's not possible!” expressions. The reactions make this bit go longer than we've see of Santo earlier, but not much.

That's it.
