02/18 AAA TV Results (Irapuato)

AAA TV (MON) 02/18/2013 Lienzo Charro Ignacio León Ornelas, Irapuato [AAA (via R de Rudo)]
1) Argenis & Flamita b Argos & Último Gladiador
Astro de Plata was scheduled to wrestle, but could not due to his spinal injury. Flamita, who worked the unannounced opener last week, was the surprise replacement.
2) Atomic Boy, Fabi Apache, Pasion Kristal b Black Mamba, Gran Apache, Mari Apache
Moved down a spot. Atomic Boy and Gran Apache bled again.
3) Dinastía b Mini Psicosis [AAA MINI]
Moved up a spot. Mini Psicosis is champion. Drago and Psicosis, seconds and trainers, were involved frequently until Piero finally kicked them out. Dinastia got the win, becoming the fifth champion and the second QPPLC winner to win an AAA championship. Mini Psicosis fails on his second defense.
4) Drago, Fénix, Joe Lider b Daga, Halloween, Psicosis
Lider pinned Daga. Psicosis and Drago continued to feud, with Psicosis stapling a Perros del Mal shirt to Drago post match.
5) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano Jr., Toscano [AAA TRIOS]
El Consejo came in as champions. Mini Clown was with the Psycho Circus. Match was announced as no disqualification to set up the finish – Argenis ran out and gave a chair to Toscano, who hit Texano Jr. to give the Clowns the wins and the titles. Psycho Circus win the title for the second time, become the fourth champions. Consejo fall on their third defense. Toscano officially quit Consejo after the match.
6) Chessman & Parka Negra b El Mesías & LA Park
LA Park complained about the existence of Parka Negra before the match. Chessman snuck in a foul on LA Park to give Parka Negra the win.

Air Date:  03/02 & 03/09

No Rey de Reyes matches announced. There must be some skits taped that were not shown to the fans – and not mentioned in AAA’s own recap of the event – but there’s not strong in-ring hints of what the main event might be.  The semimain finish suggests Toscano might get the title shot, the fourth match may set up a multiman title match with everyone involved in that match, and it’s about time for Atomic Boy and Gran Apache to have their singles matches. There’s no hint of the Rey de Reyes tournament in the ring, though again maybe they’ve taped something to fill in the gap.

It does generally seem like there’s no big match here, not even on the level of Guerra de Titanes cage match. That didn’t draw well in Guadalajara, there’s nothing we’ve seen yet that seems like it’s going to do much better in Monterrey. (And if they had nothing special for Rey de Reyes, I’m still surprised they didn’t save the Dorian/Konnan firing as a stip for that show. But that’s a moot point.) This doesn’t seems like the build to a card that’s going in Arena Monterrey, this seems like one going to the much smaller Arena Coliseo Monterrey, though there’s probably something in the middle that’s much better than either.

The SLP card, which is taped on 03/02, should be announced soon. That may fill out the puzzle. This is just a more puzzling build up than usual. If the goal is to make it harder to figure out what the plans are, they are achieving that goal.

Flamita is a current DTU guy and a former CMLL trainee – with Arkangel & Franco Colombo – who was passed over for a debut in the Gen11 & Gen12 classes. He appears to be a lot better than most of them. Dinastia winning the minis title is great, and the Psycho Circus were overdo to win the trio titles back. The main event teases a LA Park/Chessman feud; they’ve never done that match before. It’d definitely be crazy.

Edit: AAA version of it’s recap differs slightly, mentioning Texano beat up the guys in the opener after their match, adn repeating his open challenge.
