AAA #914 (11/28)

taped at Gimansio Miguel Hidalgo, Poza Rica, Veracruz on 10/30/2009

Crazy Boy, Decnnis, Gato Eveready vs Rió Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana – still not as good as the early matches were, but Decnnis finally gets a win on the tecnico side. (And promptly vanishes.)

Fabi Apache, Gran Apache, Mari Apache vs Rain, Sexy Star, Teddy Hart – So great. I guess this is not a ***** match by conventional means, but this was 10 minutes of fun. While I’m being crazy – I’d much rather see something like this match again than another Teddy/Jack match. Teddy/Jack holds no surprises (and maybe that can be fixed, but I don’t expect it to be), Teddy versus Mari Apache or Teddy vs Gronda or Teddy vs Monster Clown is surprising and still holds interest to me.

Laredo Kid, Octagón, Súper Fly vs Joe Lider, Mantra, Nicho el Millionario – this is how I will remember Mantra

Marco Corleone, Pimpinela Escarlata, Rocky Romero vs Alex Koslov, Teddy Hart, Zorro – normal Hijo de Tirantes stuff. Points for trying to explain the Zorro/Legion realliance before this, though they really needed to do it in front of the crowd.

Dr. Wagner Jr., Electroshock, Último Gladiador vs El Mesías, Extreme Tiger, La Parka Jr. & part 2 – Amazing booking. Mesias is getting the shot, and maybe they had decided he was going to win the title here – so why does he lose to Wagner’s move (plus a foul) here? Having Roldan give Mesias the title shot makes Mesias look very unworthy. Mesias just got regularly treated like a chump for this whole Wagner title reign, and it wasn’t help a tough sell.

Also, it’s a month later, and I still have no idea why Ultimo Gladiador wrestled with his mask off for a minute, and no one said anything. I still don’t know why he has his mask on! It’s all insane. This is all absurd.
