Rio Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana II vs Atomic Boy, Gato Eveready, Laredo Kid – in the same range lately, where it’s pretty good but not to the remarkable good level. Laredo’s looking more consistent lately.
Billy Boy & Sexy Star vs Aerostar & Fabi Apache – The story they seem to be telling here is Fabi would beat Sexi in 10 seconds or less if not for Billy being there. I can believe that.
Did they forget to pay off the Mari story? Shouldn’t there have been a fourth vignette where Mari is found knocked out and Billy is clearly implicated? I’m going to really miss Xavier doing the AAA recaps over at the Observer, because it was so easy to go over there on Monday and see what I completely misunderstood.
Crazy Boy, Rocky Romero, Ultimo Gladiador vs Kenzo Suzuki, Oriental, Sugi – think we’re now halfway thru the giant Yakuza push. It’s been a long run. (Also, this seems to be the end of the Mexican Powers, though it wasn’t clear at the time.)
You know, this group of tecs is not the most interesting at making other people look good. It’s too bad everyone is so tightly slotted, because this show would’ve been more interesting if you just swapped this tecnico team with the opener. Poder del Norte & Mexican Powers/UG can double team each other to death and Poder del Norte would actually get something out of a tainted win, while the Yakuza really shouldn’t need help to win at this point and it would surprise no one for them to beat the Air Force. Perhaps Oriental had given notice in by this point
Charly Manson & Jack Evans vs Chessman & Teddy Hart – still not interested in this match, but they’re at least setting up the Chessman/Charly feud in a uncharacteristically manner: Charly is so angry at Chessman that he wants to break the rules, breaking the rules costs Charly every time, so Charly wants a match with no rules and that’s what they do. Easy!
El Mesías, Extreme Tiger, Octagon vs Alex Koslov, Joe Lider, Nicho el Millionario – really, does Mesias’ move have a (AAA) name? It’s the most important move in the promotion, it probably could use a move name by now.
Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Cibernético in a Number One Contenders Match for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship – Wagner back to being a tecnico this week. Surprisingly one sided. It was a chokeslam thru a table, but it was cleaner than I expected for Wagner.

If you miss Xavier’s reviews, be prepared to be COMPLETELY confused this coming Saturday then… :)
Sigh… I live in Atlanta and the only spanish I picked up was from the signs at WalMart…
This weekend is Verano de Escandalo part one, correct? What’s going to be confusing about it?
Also, Cubsfan, what do you think the chances of Alfonso Morales getting into the WON Hall Of Fame this year are? Dave seems to like him and had virutally no weaknesses for him in today’s issue. I’ve been watching AAA for about a year and I think he’s awesome, easily one of the greatest I’ve ever heard. Even though I only understand mayb half of what he says, he just has so much passion and is so emotional in his announcing that I love it.
