AAA #644, aired in the US on 09/29, taped 08/31.
When I skimming thru this, I noticed this four match show had gone the entire three hours (instead of ending an hour early) and I wasn’t quite sure how they managed to do that. I should’ve figured, they just bloated matches out some more.
Obviously, I’ve railed enough about AAA making some of their matches too long for their own benefit enough times that you don’t need to read it again. Every match on this show went over 12 minutes, we saw all the entrances and people got separate ones when they really didn’t need them to extend this a bit longer – there as a lot of setup stuff that I didn’t like, and got in way of me enjoying anything I did like. All the matches felt long; not one of them made me feel like I had to see the next one (most left me dreading the AAA I still yet to recap.) I’m a hard critic but this was an exhausting show to get threw and I was checked out by the end.
You know, if you’ve got a team of one guy who is limping on the way to the ring and another guy who’s got one good arm, maybe they shouldn’t go 18 minutes.
I did like Decnis’ new look, though I’m going to miss how fun Alan and Zumbido were as a team. Everything else, I could have been okay missing.

Wait til you get to Verano pt 2 where they use 3 hours for 2 matches!!!
OK, it was 3 since they re-aired the Dome match.
Agreed
But, to be fair, one of the better bits, I thought, was watching Apache’s reaction to Alfa revealing himself to be Billy
And regarding Mesias slip off the ladder, if Chessman didn’t at least grab his arm and stop enough of M’s momentum, it would have been an even nastier smack Ricky suffered
Something else I don’t get
there was a 6-man tag match-I’m guessing after VdE, in which the tecnicos had Zorro on their team
How did that come about?
