Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza vs. Mistico, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas

Fun two-fall mayhem, but it was rather short and they didn’t even air all of it. The Arena Mexico crowd was REEEDDDD HOOOTTTT, watching all the grown-ups marking out and making funny faces like they’re kids was very amusing. Niebla/Wagner was central match-up here as they were building to a mano a mano title match, and obviously there was also the eternal Perro/Mistico beef. Lots of surly brawling and manly posing for the crowd. Mistico got his ass kicked pretty bad. Niebla and Wagner were afer each other’s masks. Fun match that needed to be longer.

4-WAY for 2012 Rey de Reyes: Jack Evans vs. Hector Garza vs. Hijo del Perro Aguayo vs. LA Park

Oh man, what a bad match! One would probably never guess based on talent involved, but the match was truly bad, and it’s all because of AAA being the worst here. We got some solid stuff before the first elimination, which happened after Jeff Jarrett hit LA Park with a guitar. On the entrance stage far away from the ring. With fucking Karen being involved. The guitar wasn’t even smashed. Guitarshot suddenly means a killshot, after three million wrestlers kicking out of it in various places. So now the one and only LA fucking PARK has to lose like some rookie geek to advance a shitty angle? FUCK! YOU! It was all downhill from there. Ringwork blending in with shitty booking, everyone looking bad and lazy, etc. The only somewhat saving grace was Hector repeatedly interfering and messing with referee during Jack Evans’ pin attempts on Perro. That shit was legitimately funny and the only reason why I didn’t DUD this crap. Such a mess, just a vintage AAA clusterfuck.

Campeonato Mundial Crucero de AAA: Fenix vs. Hijo del Fantasma ©

Good spotfest, but kind of soulless all around, visually it was spectacular but in the end pro-wrestling is way more than just “my turn-your turn” big move exchanging. However, Fantasma super fast and killer tope deserves two stars alone.

Villano IV vs. Blue Demon Jr.

Epic throwback smackfest, this was a three act play and they did one helluva job in recreating the old school lucha. The opening stage was a long hold-for-hold matwork session, it wasn’t anything particularly scientific or fancy in Virus style, it was just two veterans struggling and fighting on the mat, using simple and traditional moves. After a stalemate on the mat, they suddenly switched to nasty blood brawling, both guys cut themselves and bled hard, it definitely added to the drama. Naturally, V4 was godlike in punching, there was a moment with him and Demon going back-and-forth Rocky Marciano on each other and the crowd went apeshit for it. Third act saw things going back to normal, they exchanged some big moves before the awesome finish. Match was very similar to the last year's masterpiece, which was one of my favorites in 2014. These two fucks are slow and not very athletic, but wrestling is the game of minds, not the game of jumping around. After the match, Villano IV asked for one more match down the road, Demon accepted but he wants it to be mascara contra mascara. FUCK! YEAH!

Rey de Reyes 2014: Aerostar vs. Mesias vs. Texano Jr. vs. Psycho Clown

Another excellent match, probably the best 4-way in over a decade (?), this was a helluva slugfest, Aerostar did another big ass dive from the lightning structure and his three minutes of fame before he got eliminated were amazing. Mesias is a freshly turned rudo so he teamed with Texano a lot here. Psycho Clown and Texano had a relatively long mini-match as the last men standing, and they made sure to recreate their TripleMania magic, they worked such a surly brawl, both guys bled like pigs and fought outside the ring a lot. Epic match. The only slight negative is ref Maya shenanigans.

Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Pentagon Jr. vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. & Myzteziz

Damn good match, but very hard to watch because this was Perro’s last match for AAA. L Both Perro and Pentagon did their usual best here – they made the high flying tecnicos look like solid gold. Rey-Rey looked great in his AAA return.

Hijo del Pirata Morgan, Carta Brava Jr., Mini Psycho Clown vs. Dinastia, Nino Hamburguesa, Argenis

Neat match, everyone did their thing and it was a fun watch. Dinastia and Mini PC have developed an intriguing chemistry, their eventual title match could be excellent. Pirata was great in the big(ger) man role once again, and Nino did his shtick that got the cheers, all in all this was good enough.

Joe Lider, Daga, Super Fly vs. Angelico, Jack Evans, Australian Suicide

Excellent match that’s got a plenty of time, which gave them an opportunity to build things slowly and properly, that way the rudos could display their shtick and do a prolonged beating. Once again Super Fly absolutely carried the match, he’s been really awesome since the mask loss, just a total asskicker rudo. The tecnicos were perfect bumpers and their comebacks were well done and placed too. Jack Evans is a total videogame douche wrestler but somehow I didn’t mind it here, I guess because he was mostly bumping around for the rudos, and all he did on offense was two or three Michinoku Pro moves. Great match, highly recommended.

Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hijo del Fantasma, Pentagon Jr. vs. Myzteziz, Psycho Clown, Fenix

This really suffered from the lack of time given, which is so strange because it was main event. These six guys in a 20 min match would tear the house down, it’s a piece of cake for them, but unfortunately all we got here is a 10 min version of “what could’ve been”. Still pretty good, though, the match-ups were mostly Perro/Myzteziz, Fantasma/Fenix and Pentagon/Fenix, and they were all good. They started with rapid fire exchanges and big spots before the rudo trio took over the pacing and then we got good old rudo domination before tecnico comeback. Super nice sprint.

Hijo del Perro Aguayo Passes Away

Terrible and devastating news. You’ll be missed Perro. Just yesterday, during Muertes/Fenix coffin match, I was thinking how insanely over Perro would be at the Temple.

Shit man, he was basically in his prime. He was supposed to headline this year’s TripleMania with Myzteziz in a mask vs. hair match, it was supposed to be a blow-off to the 10 year long feud. Perro was charisma personified, one of those rare heels who always stayed credible despite losing and goofing around all the time. One of the biggest stars in Mexico too, this is a really hard hit to the scene.

He was wrestling since he was 15, he literally lived and died pro-wrestling.

 

RUDO!

Damn enjoyable minis trio with a bunch of slick moves. I know it sounds shallow, but the match was really good, it’s just that I don’t really know what to write about it.

Hell Brothers (Cibernetico, Averno, Chessman) vs. Parka, Blue Demon Jr., Jack Evans

One match where they could’ve used some wild brawling, and they didn’t do it. Smh… Totally average and skippable, not bad but not even close to good either.

AAA 2015/2/8

Hijo del Perro Aguayo vs. Myzteziz

Excellent brawl with lots of blood, mask ripping, fierce brawling, chairshots, big bumps, etc. Although this was just a “road to” match, they worked an epic in front of a red hot (pro-Perro) crowd that reacted to everything they did. Perro was simply the greatest here. Their mask vs. hair (TripleMania) lucha de apuesta has to be one of the most anticipated matches of the year.

Chessman & Averno vs. Angelico & Jack Evans

I don’t care for Angelico, I don’t care for Evans, and I especially don’t care for their shitty “urban crackas youth” tag team. I’m usually the biggest Chessman advocate on internet, but he was truly awful here. Cibernetico entered post-match and got CRAZY ovations, however that beatdown was horrible and very poorly executed. Of course the table didn’t break. What a DUD!

Good, fun minis action, they built well to the nice finish. Few spots didn’t connect the way they needed to, but nothing too scary that would damage the match (it did damage Mascarita’s back, tho), so yeah, like this a lot overall.

Typically fun AAA main event, there was an all-out brawling, wild topes, Perro comedy, Psycho’s insane crowd love, and so on. Top notch entertainment, very enjoyable trio.
