Guerra de Titanes preview

Yep. Not a lot on the line here. There’s no grand story coming to an end here – there’s some big stories that seem like they’re just starting (Bizarros, Super Fly’s turn) and there’s some filler stories just to give people things to do this month. It’s also a lot of the same sort of matches.

1) Gato Eveready, Octagoncito, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Decnnis, Mini Abismo Negro, Polvo de Estrellas

Usual mixed opener which may or may not make TV depending on how long everything else. This should be fine and this will probably end up with the minis involved in the finish (let’s say Octagoncito over Mini Abismo.) Kinda odd that the leader of the Militia is relegated to the opener, but I presume he’s got some big cornerman duties later in the show. Polvo in this match rules him out of being the newest Bizarro. (Jesse is still available.) The real question: how late will this match start? :52 after the start?

2) Aerostar, El Elegido, Octagón vs Alan Stone, Chris Stone, Súper Fly [street fight]

This is a street fight, which means it’s like every other AAA match except perhaps they’ll do pinfalls on the outside? Perhaps. This is Super Fly’s big debut as a rudo match, so his side should win, but this is more his chance to make an impression in his new role. If he’s got any shot of breaking out of his slot, it’s got to happen right away.

If AAA is doing this right, it needs to be Aerostar or Laredo Kid (or, god help us, Elegido) avenging Octagon. I like championships too much, so I’d bring back the middleweight title, have Super Fly beat Octagon for it, and have someone beat Super Fly for it, but a belt is not really the important thing. Super Fly has to get a capital letter WIN over Octagon or they might as well not have even bothered.

3) Silver King & Último Gladiador vs Joe Lider & Nicho el Millionario and El Ilegal & Hernandez [AAA TAG, Ladder]

187 is the only two man team AAA consistently keeps together, and consistently treats them as the biggest deal, so they probably should have the championships. Hernandez and Ilegal are sort of feuding with them, but after being totally belittled as a team in Naucalpan, I don’t think AAA sees much in them. These belts don’t mean much and there’s nothing keeping any of these teams from winning, so I wouldn’t be surprised by any one winning, but 187 is my pick.

Match is likely to be gif worthy. They’ll try hard, but they’ll inevitable try too hard.

4) Espíritu, Extreme Tiger, Jack Evans, La Parka Jr. vs ???, Cibernético, Escoria, Taboo

The pattern for new Bizarros has been guys hanging around the fringes of the roster. (Jesse is still available. So is Mantra.) Espiritu is right there, so I’m pretty sure the Bizarros should find a way to win this. More interesting will be the fan reactions – I’m actually not sure if the Bizarros are meant to be cheered or booed in this match. Starting out with Parka is a good way to get booed.

If only Escoria and Taboo are going to wrestle, why have five Bizarros? I guess the new guy is in the match too.

5) El Mesías vs LA Park

This will be a brawl in a show that looks to be nothing but brawls. This one will probably be bloody. I expect it to be interesting, and parts where I’m bored as they walk around ringside. Mesias seems to lose the first big match of every feud, and this is the first big match.

6) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Damián 666, Halloween, X-Fly [cage]

Another brawl, this one with weapons. I can’t believe a team with X-Fly is going to end the streak; if there’s any thought Perro Jr. is coming back here, they might as well wait for that. This would actually be a decent win for the Psycho Circus, though it’s probably far too late to matter. This match will probably be messy.

7) Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Zorro [AAA HEAVY]

This really needs to not be a brawl to balance out this card, but they needed the same thing last time around and Silver King & Dr. Wagner pulled chairs out of the crowd two minutes in. Just like that match, this has every bit of feeling of a title match because they needed something for Wagner to do this month but really didn’t have any plans. (I’d guess the plans were originally Park/Wagner for this time, then Park left for a while and they didn’t want to waste it with little build.) Maybe they do something where Zorro has the belt temporarily, either by picking up the belt to use it during the match or a finish that’s immediately overturned, just to keep his prophecies going, but he’s not going to be champion at the end of the night.
