AAA 01/12/08

(I’ve dropped the numbers because they’re so so wrong.)

taped 11/30, aired 01/12

Tag Team title match was worthless. Also hilarious, when the rudos didn’t touch Parka’s shoulder during the match but suddenly realized it might be a good idea when it came to the post match injury angle. Air Force/Secta was real good in parts but had it’s rough moments. Hope they do get around to the Atomicos feud again.

Main event was probably as good as a match as you’d expect with this crew. Not that it was good or anything, or that the finish made any sense, but they’ve definitely done worse. Low standards are great for this sort of thing.

10) Rey Bucanero & Último Guerrero b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Místico [pi]

Crowd was noticable more behind Wagner than Mistico. Tecnicos took the first fall, Rey & Ultimo got back to the old ways to win the second. Third fall turned into a dive sequence – Mistico on UG, Rey on Mistico & UG, Wagner on everyone…except UG pulled Rey and himself out of the way, and Mistico took the full brunt of the dive. Mistico was unable to continue, and the rudos beat Wagner for the win. After the match, they tried strechering Mistico out, only for Wagner to attack him.

Wagner appears to still be a tecnico, just not a good teammate because of his giant ego. Super Luchas notes Wagner was still getting a cheers after attacking Mistico. I hope they’re not surprised at this point – the Arena Mexico Dr. Wagner fans are die hard fans and will not be swayed.

Meanwhile, CMLL.com’s note on the match says “Ultimo Guerrero and Rey Bucanero revived their pact of friendship and unity inside and outside the ring.” There’s a bit more about this in the cards.

Black Warrior & Olimpico made it farther in the tournament than I figured, but Averno & Mephisto beat to win this block. It’s an interesting tease – will they go from beating one (sorta) Guerrero team to challenging another for the titles? (No.) CMLL was kinda vague on the date of the title match before, but they stay today that’ll be on 02/01.

CMLL (FRI) 01/25 Arena Mexico

2) Felino, Máximo, Stuka Jr. vs Diamante Negro, Ephesto, Misterioso II
3) Alex Koslov, Sagrado, Último Dragón vs Black Warrior, Lizmark Jr., Olímpico
4) Dos Caras Jr. & La Sombra vs Averno & Mephisto [torneo, final]
5) Blue Panther, Marco Corelone, Místico vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

It’s not a relevos incredible match, it’s Rey back on the rudo side, even teaming with Atlantis of all people. This happened pretty quick. If you watch the pre-match interview on superluchas, it sure sounds like this is the new status quo, but I’m kinda holding my breath until we make it thru this match without Atlantis and Rey turning on each other.
