The best part about the Mexican Powers split up angle? No more MP vs FdT matches! (Kinda.) If you’re willing to overlook the usual ‘betrayer tries to win for whole match and only turns when his partner his his finish” logic hole and if I’m willing to overlook how I don’t actually get into any of this matches, we can all give the story credit for being well done as these things go. A year or two (or more) ago, AAA would’ve done the same exact match with none of the buildup, and the buildup was the more entertaining part of this.
Abismo Negro refusing to partner with Super Porky was one of the things that made that “Abismo Negro vs All The Vipers At Once” match so totally believable. I’m sure now it was changed to that just in case Abismo didn’t show the day of, but Abismo fixed that by not showing much earlier.
Didn’t have much use for the top two matches. Vampiro’s return was done well.
Match of the night is the Head Hunter/Jack/Teddy vs Alan/Alebrije/Laredo. If you squint hard enough, it’s one big guy + two high flyers vs the same. In reality, it’s delightfully bizarre. I’m just said I couldn’t find a way to get the Cujie-napping in this clip.
