AAA 08/31 (Part 2)

AAA 2015/08/31

Super Fly, Carta Brava Jr., Machine Rocker vs. Australian Suicide, Venum, Super Nova

Fuuuuck, this was even slightly better than the previous week’s (but same show actually) trio match. Fantastic shit right there, from Super Fly being a surly aggressor, Machine Rocker being the best possible Psicosis, to the tecnicos doing some truly buggy flying things. It’s official now – Australian Suicide is awesome. Incredibly retarded ring name, though. Venum looks like someone who could repeat Aerostar’s success in Lucha Underground. Machine Rocker also belongs there, great and underrated guy. This is a must-see sprint.

****1/2


AAA 2015/08/31

3-WAY: Dark Cuervo & Dark Scoria vs. Angelico & Jack Evans vs. Pentagon Jr. & Joe Lider

Mostly fun and trashy 3-way tag, they started off with that shitty “one duo waits on apron” rule, but thankfully hell broke loose relatively fast. Pentagon was as awesome as always, Lider was not totally useless for once, La Secta boys kind of were, though, and Angelico and Evans did their pretty white boy shtick very well once again, all in all the match was good.

***1/2


AAA 2015/08/31

Myzteziz & Mesias vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. & Fenix

Final chapter was very strong, the beginning was good, but the middle portion was full of over-the-top stalling. Now, I do like stalling because it’s the easiest tool to create some neat psychology and mental games, but Myzteziz really overstayed his welcome here. He kept intercepting the flow of the match with constant rudo antics. But thankfully they got enough time to make the closing stretch awesome, and to make up for the mediocre middle stages. Also, Rey-Rey was not the smoothest guy in the world here. Fenix was immense, and Mesias, while not being Mil Muertes, still managed to be good enough.

***3/4
