Episode 4
- Chessman & Súper Fly beat Pagano & Psycho Clown
(10/11 2nd, 14:14, ok, Lucha Libre AAA)- Chessman snuck in a foul on Pagano
- the Maximo/Iguana vs Carta/Mocha from 10/04 3rd show
- Laredo/Octagon from 10/04 3rd show
Psycho Clown has really grown out his hair during the pandemic. The light tower dives are a great example of those things that looks silly on TV but might be coming off better live. There’s a large stretch here that’s just a repeat of another Psycho Clown but, so much that’s the way. The finishing sequence with Chessman and Pagano was no good and a reminder their singles match could be a fiasco.
Episode 5
- Murder Clown beat Abismo Negro Jr. and Octagón Jr.
(10/10 1st, 8:34, good, Lucha Libre AAA) - Carta Brava Jr. beat Mr. Iguana and Dave The Clown
(10/04 2nd, 9:01, ok, Lucha Libre AAA) - the Faby Apache/Hades match from the 10/04 3rd show
- Texano Jr. beat Drago
(10/11 2nd, 11:34, good, Lucha Libre AAA)
Notes
- AAA’s started to air promos during these shows, with individual wrestlers making random challenges (similar to the Stronghearts & Daga promos put on social media a month or so ago.) These challenges have a low success rate of going anywhere, but for the sake of keeping track:
- Texano challenged Jinetes del Aire, Laredo Kid (for the megachampionship if should win it) and Murder Clown
- Psycho Clown challenged Rey Escorpion, who hasn’t been otherwise seen or mentioned.*
- Mr. Iguana suggested he and La Hiedra challenge for the mixed tag titles (this aired on the previous show too)
- Pentagon Jr. challenged Averno
The main event started with a lot of time left in the file, but they handled it pretty well. Texano seems to be doing better in this structure or just is more motivated after a break. He found interesting ways to (literally) tie Drago down before the comeback. His run of wins would feel like they were going someplace in another setup.
There’s a lot of three ways on these shows and I tire of that setup quickly. The second one had a lot of chair play and didn’t feel like it meant much, though Dave the Clown successfully basing for Mr. Iguana is stunning. The first one effectively played off Murder Clown’s size, which proved to be too much for the smaller guys. Octagon had a great looking dive.
Episode 6
These are all from the early evening Dia del Muertos show (the one that didn’t stream)
- La Hiedra & Lady Maravilla beat Faby Apache & Lady Shani
(11/01 1st, 10:14, ok, luchalibreaaatv) - Parka Negra beat Carta Brava Jr., Dinastía
(11/01 1st, 9:27, ok, luchalibreaaatv) - Murder Clown beat Chessman, Abismo Negro Jr.
(11/01 1st, 7:44, good, luchalibreaaatv) - Laredo Boy & Laredo Kid beat Octagón Jr. & Octagoncito
(11/01 1st, 10:50, great, Lucha Libre AAA)
Notes
- Hiedra & Maravilla seem to be an official team, which was teased earlier this year
- Poder del Norte again beat up the tecnico after their match
Maybe the strongest individual episode, at least for all news stuff. Octagons versus Laredo could’ve just worked for the novelty but they also tried to kill each other so that was cool too. It’s a pleasure to see Octagoncito back in the mix, it is too bad Laredo Kid tried to merge the two Octagons into one at the end of the match. They wrestled this was an urgency and pace that you’d expect out of these guys individually, but maybe no in a match on a drive-in show. The level of teamwork was unexpected, since these ‘partners’ really don’t get to work together that much, but they came off as natural duos. Laredo Boy was a little hesitant at times but by no mean a problem. Definitely a match to seek out among the Autoluchas batch.
The second three-way was the better of the two easily. Parka & Carta played out the rote script of two rudos working together and being shocked when both wanted to win the match. Chessman, Abismo, and Murder Clown were just guys going after each other the whole match. Abismo’s continued to put on good performances during this run of shows, and took advantage of facing bigger guys to fly a bit more than usual. Chessman seems in good form going into the TripleMania match.
The women’s match didn’t come through via execution of moves, but it’s still worth a look. The personality shown by the rudas was almost enough to make up for some atypical sloppiness. Maravilla has come so far in her character work; she did a great job of getting every bit out the spot where Copetes inadvertently saved her from a tapatia. Hiedra & Maravilla doing male effeminate embracing spots plays a little bit different as women. Their act could get over big with crowds once those exist again.
