AAA 4/2 (show of the year?)

AAA 2015/4/2

Texano Jr., Pentagon Jr., Dark Cuervo vs. Parka, Psycho Clown, Angelico

I have no words for this. Such a glorious ass-kicking brawl in front of probably the hottest crowd of the year so far, I’m talking world wide here. Psycho Clown entered the match with a legit angle injury and they decided to make a story out of it in the match, and oh boy, they did a wonderfully job. Texano got the role of a merciless piece of shit who destroyed Psycho’s leg with chairs, stomps, etc. and he was like a relentless pit-bull in doing so, we got doctors checking on Psycho and taking him out while the rest of the crew fought all over the ringside, it was chaotic and awesome. Parka and Angelico took a beating, I’m telling you. The match was a handicap match for awhile before the tecnico comeback, Angelico was simply spectacular, dude’s growing on me tremendously. Parka and Angelico gave the rudo team a taste of their own medicine and did to Pentagon the same what they did to Psycho. So, we’re 2-on-2 now and it was a perfect opportunity for Parka to do his vintage Parka things. Fabulous. The finishing match-up was Cuervo/Angelico, and while it may sound “meh” on the paper, it was everything but, trust me, I’ve never ever seen Cuervo being this good, and like I mentioned earlier, Angelico’s been improving in my eyes. Their respective partners Dark Scoria and Jack Evans got involved. Great drama, great finish, great match.

****1/2

NO DQ: Brian Cage vs. Alberto el Patron

Shit man, who would’ve thought a couple of years ago that Brian Cage of all people would be this good and competing in a main event scene for a major wrestling promotion. He had that great Steen title match and a fair share of awesome multi-man performances, but in singles competition he was mostly hit or miss. He also got roided way too much, but in the last half a year or so, he toned it down and now looks totally appropriate, it also noticeably improved his stamina and condition.

This was a great hardcore match, it was really well done and the tables/chairs spots were all paced in a compelling manner. Once again Cage got over, he even used some quasi-lucha moves, so there you go… Needless to say, Alberto was stupendously over in his hometown. Since this was a No DQ, Konnan, Fantasma and Pentagon used it profusely in Cage’s favor, while on the other side Parka came to help Alberto. Surprisingly great match, tbf.

Mini Charly Manson & Mini Psycho Clown vs. Dinastia & Mascarita Sagrada

Slick, smooth and clean as a whistle, that’s honestly all I can say about this one. Four minis going all in and creating magic, Mascarita Sagrada was godlike here, and the centerpiece of the match was Dinastia/Psycho building to a title match at some point, oh god, that will rock. I wasn’t totally sold on Dinastia before, but that quickly changed after this one. Awesome sprint, kind of must-see.

Electroshock, Hijo del Pirata Morgan, Carta Brava Jr. vs. Fenix, Aerostar, Argenis

I’ve always felt Electro was getting a lot of undeserved hate. I mean, sure, he’s not very athletic or agile, but dude can throw a punch and is willing to bleed buckets for our own amusement. That’s a gigantic plus in my book. Therefore, I’m kind of excited to see where his angle is heading to, especially with Pirata in his team. Needless to say, I dig Pirata very mucho, and if you wanna know why, just check this match. The tecnico trio was fucking out-of-this-world spectacular here, especially Fenix who acted as if someone shoved a turbo engine in his ass, the shit he did here was totally unreal and if he doesn’t win all the High Flyer of the Year awards, I might murder someone. Like, seriously, what the fuck was that?!

****1/4


AAA 2015/4/2

Daga, Super Fly, Dark Scoria vs. Drago, Bengala, Jack Evans

Another really good match, but slightly damaged by the ending. It wasn’t anything scary, though, just a minor thing that bugged me. I guess something was in the air this night, because even fucking Bengala looked pretty damn good. Super Fly’s post- mask loss of hot wrestling goes on, and Drago is Drago. And yes, Evans is Evans too.

***1/2


AAA 2015/4/2

Mesias & Hijo del Fantasma vs. Myzteziz & Blue Demon Jr.

To everyone’s surprise, they’re starting things off with a minute of clean chain wrestling, courtesy of Demon and Fantasma. But then (to no one’s surprise) Mesias decides he’s had enough of it and turns the match into a smacky tussle just like that. There’s nothing in the world better than a rudo domination in lucha. Nothing. Especially if there’s blood and mask ripping. Now, this match didn’t have those two things, but Mesias did give Demon quite a proper beating, and Fantasma to Myzteziz too. It was all awesome in front of the fantastic crowd. The inevitable comeback was excellent and Demon is excellent in these violent affairs where he gets to throw smacks and use weapons. Do I smell a potential TripleMania main event in Demon/Mesias? Hmm, I’d fucking love that. Also, the Myzteziz/Fantasma chemistry is beautiful, and goddamn it, AAA is just hitting it on all cylinders right now.
