recap – was 11 pages. I need help. No one should read this and I need to apologize to the English language, which I have murdered.

Just a couple general thoughts: the look of the show was good, but the production of this show was not very good. It took them about seven matches to get something simple like the microphone levels right, it really should’ve taken them about two minutes and there’s no reason for there to be a buzzing noise for two matches. I lost track of how many spots were completely missed. They always could find the action on the replay, which means they had enough cameras and the cameramen themselves were getting the right shots, but whoever was choosing between the shots was making the wrong choice time after time. This is not a new thing for AAA – it’s an old trademark – but it’s something they have not been doing on TV late, which really stuck when I saw it here. This all points towards this being a Televisa issue and not an AAA one, but it made the PPV less enjoyable to watch than it probably was live.

Also, I understand the importance of tradition and continuity, but at some point you’ve got to put more emphasis on the best show for the fans. I’m thrilled Arturo Rivera is out of the hospital and appears to be doing better, but he was in no vocal shape to be out at the announce both for four hours. One match would’ve been fine. I want to say the same about Octagon, but this was a very casual fan dominated audience, and he was still a star to this crew because they smartly had him work a minute and get out.

There are TEN gifs next, but they’re smaller than usual. Your computer still may explode.
