Catching Up With New AAA

AAA 2014/9/26

Campeonateo Crucero de AAA: Aerostar vs. Hijo del Fantasma ©

Good shit right here, both guys busted out some big topes early in the match but then Fantasma imposed his own pace where he controlled the match carefully and methodically, which all built to Aero’s comebacks where it looked like he might pull the win but his bitter nemesis Super Fly appeared which distracted him and ultimately – he screwed himself out of title victory. Good cruiserweight match, they told a nice story.

***1/2


AAA 2014/9/26

Villano IV, Pentagon Jr., Steve Pain vs. Blue Demon Jr., Fenix, Bengala

When you’re describing to someone what basic lucha libre looks like, just show them this match. Demon is INSANELY over with the crowd, there are tons of comic book spots and sequences, flying, topes, punches… joyful activities everywhere.

***3/4


AAA 2014/9/26

Chessman & Averno vs. Gueros del Cielo (Angelico & Jack Evans)

Basic but good tag with two big bad rudos mauling two skinny ass tecnicos, which inevitably leads to fun and fuel driven comebacks etc. Would’ve been even better without the abrupt ending with gang warfare and stuff.

***1/2


AAA 2014/9/26

Texano Jr. & Hijo del Perro Aguayo vs. Myzteziz & Mesias

This was on the verge of being a bloody great tag, but unfortunately there was just too much crowd interacting/pandering, even for lucha, which hurt the flow few times, but other than that this was top notch stuff, super fun match. Mesias and Perro seem to have a great chemistry, I just checked and there’s their 1-on-1 match on YouTube, color me intrigued.

***3/4
