AAA #621

taped 03/17, aired in US on 04/21

Yea, somehow this took me over two months to finish. Three hour shows are so hard on my attention span. And now that these – and the bunch I have left on my TiVo – are all dated, I’ve got the start of angles that I saw ran into the ground for two months. I think the rest of the stored ones are all even older than this one. It’s a weird assortment, and I know I still have Rey de Reyes somewhere in there, which I’d like to actually watch before TripleMania.

Shows like this one remind still make me think AAA has too much time. The Relevos AAA match didn’t need 13 minutes to make it’s point, and the Vipers match sure didn’t need 17 minutes. Even the main event was way too long – they didn’t really need to do 8 minutes for a beatdown, a 45 second comeback, and a (random idiotic) DQ, and the angle is stronger if the beatdown is sold thru the end of the show. Ciberentico and the HBs sold, but why have them get up at all?

Anyway. Like was pointed out at the time, the random goof Atomicos was great. Everyone was working like their jobs depend on it, and I think it’s because their jobs probably depended on it. And yet, some of those guys still vanished. I appreciate their effort, anyway.

I like the concept that the Candaian Destroyer is too ludicrous for lucha libre fans to buy. Ozz seems to have dropped it, and that would seem to be the wise move.

Unless I missed a show, or forget about it, this seems like the last taping where the hard camera was pointed at the entrance. I’m so glad they dropped that.
