The article says over 6,000 people showed up, but they have some slight errors elsewhere in the article.

Aerostar took Laredo Kid’s spot. After he and Super Fly lost, Super Fly was angry with his partner. Here we go again! I guess Octagon only made peace with  Fly & Laredo, not Aero.

Pimpi was about to kiss Alex when Alex stopped him and superkicked him for the win. This was the last ‘week’ of Mari’s time as a maid, so she attacked the rudas after the match. Alex attacked back, and Aerostar ran out for the save.

Alex came back to work the tercera, subbing for Chessman. Lucky for him, it was a short match. Unluckily for the tecnicos, it was short because Rocky Romero turned on them, joining the Legion. Later in the show, Joaquin vowed to make Rocky regret joining the Legion. It seems like he’s getting the cruiserweight match at Verano, so I don’t believe he’ll regret it all that much.

Damian pinned Nicho clean with the la valagueza to take the semimain.

The main event had plenty of shenanigan – Piero, Hijo de Tirantes, Konnan, and Super Crazy all got involved for one side or another- but Parka got his pinfall, the only tecnico win of the night. Legion & Perros ran in post match, AAA ran them off.

AAA mentioned the next couple of tapings on TV this past Sunday
07/25 – Mexico City (Expo) – a three week break.
07/29 – Toluca

Also, Verano was announced as 08/14, a week later than originally mentioned. That means they’ve still got to announce an early August taping as the usual lame duck show.

AAA hasn’t announced any matches for Verano yet, though it’s not difficult to guess a lineup. The Lucha Libre Expo taping looks to be very important; that’s the show people are going to see a couple weeks before the event, so they’ve got to make the top matches very clear by then.

The top two matches worked off each other. Zorro was DQed for excessive use of the cane (there’s excessive use? and you can get disqualified for it? Piero was ref) and Hermandad were left laying, so Lider returned to attack Chessman in the main event. Parka picked up the win, and Lider & Nicho ran off the Legion/Perros after the match.

Jack & Rocky had issues in their loss. Next challenger?

Mari Apache was at ringside, as a maid for the rudo team, for the title match. She wouldn’t cheat for the rudos, so Blake attacked her, Fabi was distracted, and Von Eerie pinned her with a bridge to win the titles.

Tecnicos lost the opener when Blake ordered Mari to foul Laredo, and Billy Boy finished Super Fly with the Cop Killa. That’s Homicide’s name for the move, AAA can’t seem to find the time to give their own.

Taping is listed as starting at 12:30. Haven’t paid the closest attention to this, but I can’t think of a previous afternoon taping.

Main event is the TripleMania rematch. I would presume Parka is getting his win back (and then will point out how they’re really 1-0-1) but you never know.

Super Crazy vs Dr. Wagner would be an interesting title match! That’s not the match they’re setting up in the semimain.

Poster says there will be two dark matches.

Monday morning update:

I had to watch this twice to figure out what was going on with the main event finish. Very confused the first time, because it’s tough to tell LA Park & La Parka Jr. apart. Trying bullet points, but the short version is “a dozen people ran in”

• match comes down to LA Park & Dr. Wagner
• Wagner has the pin after a Wagner Driver, but…
• Halloween, Damian and Super Crazy hit the ring to break it up. That’s as close as they ever come to a match finish
• La Parka Jr. clears out the Perros, but Zorro & Hernandez attack him. Cibernetico is beat up as well
• Silver King & Ultimo Gladiador run in and beat up Hernandez and Zorro
• Silver King & Ultimo Gladiador beat up Dr. Wagner
• Vampiro walks in, hits Wagner in the back with a chair, gives Ultimo Gladiador a hard chair shot to the head, says something to Silver King, but doesn’t touch Silver King and leaves. Silver King is baffled. Crowd cheers Vampiro most of this time because they still don’t know he’s a rudo.
• the Legion and the Perros del Mal return to the ring to stomp down the tecnicos. This last 10 seconds.
• Hermandad make the save, beating up Halloween and Dmaian especially. Everyone else bails. Cibernetico helps, just to remind us he’s here.
• La Parka and LA Park pass each other walking around the ring, realize they ought to be fighting, throw a couple punches, and then keep walking.
• Four minutes after the Invasion started, and about 15 seconds after they were run out, Octagon leads out Pimpinela, Extreme Tiger, Heavy Metal and maybe others to make the save. Hijo de Tirantes may have actually declared a winner at this point.
• Konnan poses with the Perros del Mal guys on the outside. Probably in fornt of the Penas, but it’s tough to tell from the camera angle.

The big angle is the Legion & Los Perros are united. No real change to the status quo, the Legion just got some new members and Konnan is still in charge. No sign of Perro Aguayo Jr., who probably should be leader of this crew but they’ve already got two of those.

This isn’t exactly ECW & WCW joining forces to become the Alliance, but this is the same feud they’ve done since Konnan has been back.

Original post

The report on el Martinete estimated the building at 40% full. The video Dos de Tres posted backed that up. Four sided ring.

I’m not sure what happened in the main event. Both recappers must’ve lost internet around the same time. From the video Dos De Tres was able to get out, it seems like Silver King & Ultimo Gladiador ran in to beat up Dr. Wagner, with Vampiro running in after to help. No idea what the exact finish was, but DQ for the tecnicos seems like a decent guess. I’ll correct when AAA puts up it’s recap.

Super Crazy, as a rep of Los Perros del Mal, was the mystery wrestler in the semimain. I’ve given up all hope the Relampago thing will ever be explained, but I do wonder why the Perros are just randomly teaming with the rudos. First match here for Crazy since 2006, though he goes back about a decade prior. This was actually a match between the first Psicosis and the first Histeria, though I don’t think those two gimmicks were partners until the second version of the characters. Nicho took a chair shot directly to the head, recovered 10 seconds later to reverse DDT Alex on that same chair, did one more move, and won the match.  Halloween & Damian ran in after to attack Hermandad to continue the build to that match. Makes sense for Verano. Again, rudos appear to be okay with all the Perros running in, so the Legion & AAA uniting bit seems to be off.

Super Crazy wrestling and Halloween and Damian running in appear to be the extent of the Perros involvement on this show, but more could’ve happened in the main event.

Heavy Metal lost clean to Electroshock’s Rey de Reyes hold. Heavy has lost here a lot more than I would’ve figured. For no apparent reason, Electroshock powerbombed Metal off the apron and to the floor after the match. Looked painful, but the video is from the opposite side of the ring.

Looked like the Stones might win this one, but Hijo de Tirantes distracted Chris, and Ozz fouled him. Ozz dropped Chris on his head as well. Isn’t the point of the foul to not have to deal with dropping the guy on the head? Could’ve just kicked him anywhere and done the same thing. These are bits I only complain about when things aren’t going well.

Sexi Star was accompanied by  Mari Apache in maid clothes, and the rudas forced her to sweep the ring. As you might expect, this backfired horribly. Mari got involved, leading to Fabi to pin Sexi for the win. Joshi woman were said not to impress much and, as usual, no one knew who they were.

Mini Charly replaced Mascarita Sagrada, who missed E3 as well. Injury? Psicosis pinned Octagoncito with a powerbomb.

2010 AAA TV Chart –  with a lot of changes!
Projected Air Date (#946)
Mexico: 07/18
US: 07/31

Part of a two tapings  in three days swing around the Yucatan peninsula. A lot of the same people will be working on the Merida Sunday taping, but given the few amount of people on this show (4 tags and 1 trios, has to be close to a record), there’s got to be more people coming in for later.

This should be the next taping after tonight’s show. Since TripleMania is airing, AAA will have a big lag again between when shows are taped and when they air. They’ll probably take the last week of June and the second week of July off from taping anything. Verano de Escandalo will be on 08/06, so they’ll have after Merida and will only need to tape two more shows. We should have a solid idea about what the big matches are for that show by the end of this taping weekend.

The third match – the tercera! – is the first Perros del Mal vs AAA match. Although they haven’t been so great of late, I seem to recall CMLL giving a bit better spot to it’s invaders. On the other hand, Damian and Halloween might get a clean win.

I hesitate to suggest Chessman being in the main event might mean someone remembers he’s owed a title shot. Much more likely for this to be about Wagner/Park. No sign of Vamp or Electro, but one of those guys is never in matches anyway.

If the idea was for the Legion to win every title, it makes sense for them to picked up the Mixed tag titles here (and send Aero off to Fuerza Aerea oblivion), but that’s what I wrote last time, and now they might have dropped that idea. Still, these titles don’t mean anything and the decision here might as well be a whim. No sign of the maid stipulation in terms of matches, but that should be more vignettes and less in-ring.

Update: AAA says LA Park won. HOORAY.

Video seems to be slowly going up here

WarriorsX2000 says he’s putting the video up on this page on Wednesday.

Putting the main event together

• Still waiting for the official AAA results. However, all the mainstream press is under the impression LA Park won the main event and is now La Parka. Most of the fans at the building believed this too – many of them left after the main event ended, and whatever Maricela Pena announced wasn’t done until after El Tri performed. The show went over four hours, so it’s no surprise people left instead of sticking around the concert, and they probably planned the timing of the announcement with that in mind.
• Regardless of what they end up calling this finish, LA Park is going to spend the rest of his life claiming he won this match and no one much is going to argue with him. AAA must be supremely confident Park is not walking out on them, because Park has everything he wants out of this feud at the moment.
• In a post show press conference, Dorian Roldan said LA Park won the match. That should not be read as a heel character backing up his man, because it appears Dorian turned tecnico as part of the finish. Add to that Konnan and Vampiro having issues in Vampiro’s match, and AAA may be in the midst of a widespread reshuffling of tecnico vs rudo sides.
• The Perros del Mal appearance would’ve been more dramatic if AAA & Los Perros had not told everyone it was happening. It wasn’t just the internet hardcores who knew, because the initial AAA press release got picked up in the papers and was talked about in previews of the show. Perro said they still considered LA Park one of them, strongly hinting at a run in this match, so it was just a matter of waiting for the spot to happen. It did not help AAA sell out the show – consensus is between 85% and 90%, still good numbers but not the full house.The Perros run-in featured just about everyone who was available to run in, including Super Crazy and midcard guys like Pesadilla & Ragde, a guy in a black ski mask who might have forgotten his actual mask (Leo?), and Damian 666’s yet-to-debut son (who many assumed was a new Pequeno Damian 666.) X-Fly had his belt, and I’m rooting for it to somehow end up back with AAA before this angle is over. Skayde’s crew was not there, and I don’t think the minis were there either. Charly Manson, Hijo del Lizmark, (Super) Nova and Marco Corleone were all in California for the Masked Warrior shows, so we probably won’t know if/how they fit in here until the next TV taping on 06/13.In a bit where everyone was wearing black pants and a black Perros del Mal shirt, Black Warrior wore the whitest white vest and pants he could possibly find, and no Perros del Mal logo. Somewhere, Sangre Azteca just nods his head sadly.
• The Perros del Mal run in was completely like an Invasion, and they appear to be setting up a AAA vs Perros del Mal War. Which means half of what Perro Aguayo Jr. said at his press conference was a lie, and calls question into the other half (they’re not going away as a promotion.) I wonder if other sites will call him on that this morning?

And everything else, based on reading results and listening to the stream

1. AAA did not do a great job explaining what was going on in a few matches. This was one – AAA would talk about Abismo defending against all the minis, but who those minis were rarely clarified.The minis had issues reaching the belt – too high, ladder too low – and La Parkita (shoulder), Mini Histeria (neck? head?) and Mini Abismo Negro (unclear? excuse for losing?) were all mentioned as injured after this match.
2. Hijo de Tirantes refereed this mach, and directly helped the rudas to win. That was the finish to the hair match, and I suspect this was a lot the same quality as that match. After the match, Gran Apache appeared to argue the finish, but Konnan ordered the tecnicas to go to the back and start their 30 days of maid service right now.Konnan was all over the show. He did color commentary, talked about the background of all the international guys, got involved in matches and may have still be communicating with backstage. There were long stretches during matches where he didn’t anything, but then that might have not been because he was talking to someone else as much as having too many commentators (Jesus Zingia, Dr. Morales, Arturo Rivera, Konnan – and there might have been one more.)
3. Announcers were embarrassingly ill prepared for the Japanese team. They started to announce them as “Nosawa”, then went silent for a long time, before someone figured out Go and Aoti’s actual names. During the match, they didn’t even try to use their names. They weren’t much better with Beer Money, though at least when Arturo asked Konnan halfway during the match which one was which, Konnan was able to explain it to them. If you did not already know the outsider teams (and most people watching this show would not), you would’ve found it very hard to care about themMatch sounded like it was good. Both four ways were elimination style, and the followed the usual pattern of the team who eliminates another team is the next team to lose. Order of elimination was Team NOAH, Heramandad (with Konnan interfering) and Beer Money clean to Silver King & Ultimo GladiadorIn another invasion angle that was given away well ahead of time, IWRG’s Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. & Hijo de Cien Caras (actually the brother of LA Park) attacked the new champions after the match. These two sides have been feuding in IWRG, and they’re probably doing a tag title match there in the next couple of weeks. Dinamitas Juniors got promo time to explain the angle (which needed to be done), so this was a pretty nice bit for IWRG.
4. AAA must’ve sent out a press release updating the match listings, because LuchandoLibre knew this was a cage match. AAA’s own site did not list this as a cage match, and the TV episodes did not make that clear. Putting up a cage and taking it down added a lot of dead time to a show that was already lengthy. Without having seen the match, it’s tough to tell if it was worth it. They did use the cage to do some spots, including a Hernandez dive and Chessman doing a moonsault. Order of escape was Octagon, Alex, Pimpi, Herndanez and Chessman. It was a bit of a surprise to see Heavy Metal to take the loss.Piero got his head shaved after the match, and was bald when he refereed the title match later on. As usual on the big shows, Copetes reappeared to work as a unbiased referee.
5. Abyss & Cibernetico vs Vampiro & Zorro was the match it figured to be. Finish continued the Konnan/Vampiro issue they’ve talked about since Vampiro returned. Konnan tried to throw powder at Cibernetico but got Vampiro, and Cibernetico chokeslammed him for the win.The Legion ran out to attack Cibernetico after the match, but Cibernetico fought them all off. At the time, that seemed really odd, but now they might have been closing a door. Hermandad helped him out a bit as well. After that was over, Vampiro and Konnan argued at the announce desk.
6. Cruiserweight Title match also sounded good, though it had a strange moment. Opening match tecnico Relampago appeared in an Extreme Tiger mask, then took it off. This confused Tiger (and to be fair, also the rest of the universe), which led to his pin. Relampago is apparently now a rudo, and perhaps this means Extreme Tiger is being moved away from the Cruiserweight Title for the time being.Order of elimination was Nosawa (all the Japanese guys went down first), Tiger, and Daniels. Crowd was very happy with Jack winning the title.
7. After a cage match, a brawl, and a high spot match, Wagner vs Electroshock worked a slow technical match. It was getting late by this point, and the crowd was not happy with their dedication to mat work, booing portions of this match. Wagner eventually got the win and the title clean with a Wagner Driver.Mesias returned to present Dr. Wagner Jr. with a title. If they’re setting up another Wanger vs Mesias match, I may shut the site down. Electroshock was gracious in defeat, shaking Wagner’s hands.
8. Crowd seemed more behind Park all night. Match was booked with the idea they’d be behind Parka.Just to go over the end game: Original referee (Copetes?) is knocked out of the ring. Rudo Park gets the advantage and gives Parka a martiente. Parka never moves for the rest of the show. Joaquin Roldan hits the ring to protest this move, and Park shoves him down, though he wipes out Dorian while an elbow swinging around. Park goes to grab the referee to make the count, but he’s still out. Dorian recovers, picks up a chair, and hits Park with it three times, laying out LA Park. Halloween and Damian rush out from the back, clear out Dorian, and drag LA Park on top of Parka. Hijo de Tirantes is right behind the Perros, and counts the pins. The rest of the Perros hit the ring after the match and celebrate, with the AAA wrestlers only turning up later.
