AAA on Televisa #925 (02/13/2010)
Previously: The Vipers debuted, and were dominate (at leas tin this video package.) técnicos id d a lot of moves, but then the music started playing in slow motions and they lost. WagnerManiacos ripped up Pimpi's gear at Guerra de Titnaes. Konnan was a bit of a jerk in the middle of a Cibernético interview, and then people were held back from fighting many times. And then Cibernético was beat up a lot. Maybe he was better off when everyone was being held back?
This week: Cibernético & the Psycho Cirucs vs the Legion
Six sided ring returns!
Match 1: Cuervo, Escoria, Espíritu, Ozz vs Amnesia, Black Abyss, Histeria, Psicosis III
Centro Civico de Ecatepec, 01/17/2010
Winner: Vipers (DQ Dark Family)
Match Time: (7:16)
Rating: OK, abrupt ending. GLOVE.
Notes: Welcome back, Espiritu! Escoria got some new piercing over his winter break. Also, some new huge gloves. I guess they’re supposed to be MMA gloves, but they look more like hockey gloves. It's still totally weird to see a tall Histeria. Of all the thing with the Vipers 2.0, that's the one that bugs me the most of all. Psicosis and Histeria bring barbed wire bats to the ring. Vipers are announcers as Vipers Revolution though that's probably not their names. Hey, look, it's the second commercial break in the first 8 minutes of this show!
Before the match gets started, Piero notices Escoria gloves – not just good, but metal plated! - and tries to argue that those probably aren't legal. Escoria protests, but the Vipers and Piero protest more. Escoria relents. Piero pulls one off, while Escoria give the other to Cuervo to stash in his cargo pants. Meanwhile, Ozz and Histeria are having issues. Ozz shoves Histeria, Histeria shoves back, Ozz outright fouls Histeria but Piero is still fussing with the gloves and misses it. Black Family does not, and launches the attack.
Brawling. AAA's hung giant banners of wrestlers on the far walls – a lot better than looking at walls. Dark Family come together on Histeria, who is too big for them handle at first. Corner clothesline for him, Ozz finishing with a loud kick. Psicosis take a spinebuster and a top rope legdrop from Escoria. Everyone stomps Amnesia, until Histeria runs in clears them out. Histeria takes a corner whip, and moves out of the way of Escoria, before Escoria is half way there. He also manages simultaneous dropkicks and double clothesline on the other three (which is to say, the Dark Family are really awesome in their positioning.) Vipers easily clear the ring. Amnesia drops Ozz for Black Abyss's frog splash. Double team on Cuervo falls, Histeria kicking Psicosis out of the ring, and the Back Family suddenly have control back. Again, Histeria and Espiritu get into a chop fight, but when Histeria won't go down, the entire Black Family storm over and pounds him to the mat with forearms and stomps. Black Abyss makes a 1 on 4 comeback, dropping everyone with clotheslines and slaps. In the middle of this, Cuero pulls out the glove and hands it to Ozz, who puts it on. Black Abyss walks over to him, and gets punched out by the loaded fist. Piero totally saw and, for once, he totally meant to see it. Piero argues with Ozz, but he's also already waving the fall off, so it doesn't matter much. Still, Piero doesn't raise Black Abyss's arm, so everyone's kinda confused for a second. Black Abyss himself is out on the mat. Piero lifts the arm part the way up, is that it? Everyone just starts brawling, with Ozz stomping Black Abyss. Piero stops everyone and raises Black Abyss' arm up again. I think because Black Abyss is out, it looks like Piero is just teasing the decision when he's actually made it. Piero eventually figures it out, and raises his own arm to make it clear, and the crowd finally understands on the third try.
Match 2: Extreme Tiger & Jack Evans vs Joe Lider & Nicho el Millionario
Centro Civico de Ecatepec, 01/17/2010
Winner: rudos (DQ técnicos for kicking ref)
Match Time: 7:38
Rating: usual (I assume)
Notes: Hey look, Hijo de Tirantes is ref.
Rudos will jump the técnicos and use all sorts of tag team moves at the point in the match where it doesn’t matter, técnicos will make a comeback despite Hijo de Tirantes interference, there will be a lot of near falls broken up by other people, and then Hijo del Tirantes will screw over the técnicos to help the Hermandad win.
This is what I'm assuming will happen, because it's happened in every match for the last year, and I’m not going to actually write about it...
I was pretty close! This time, it was a DQ for Jack accidentally kicking Hijo de Tirantes, and Hijo de Tirantes only calling the DQ after Tiger hit his finisher for the winning pinfall.
Promo: Cinthia Moreno says she'll team with Sexi Star, because he's a professional, but she wants a shot at the championship. Cinthia also acts like a jerk, so we know she's supposed to be a ruda again. At least they tried?
Video Package: Silver King vs La Parka Jr.
Match 3: Crazy Boy, La Parka Jr., Laredo Kid vs Electroshock, Silver King, Último Gladiador
Centro Civico de Ecatepec, 01/17/2010
Winner: rudos
Match Time: 14:21
Rating: eh
Notes: Ultimo Gladiador's video includes shots of him unmasked. Explain this gimmick to me, someone. Crazy Boy remembers he has his uses with Ultimo Gladiador, which makes one. Silver King is wearing his roman outfit for no particular reason. Electroshock is wearing his Ultimatum mask again. Ref is Piero.
Both sides have to hold Parka and Silver King away from attacking each other, because they've deiced they hate each other again. It does get the crowd to loudly chant for Parka, so that's a success. Both guys leave the ring, Silver King climbing on the barricade to protest the chant. The chant is successfully killed off before they actually get in the ring. Ultimo Gladiador starts with Laredo briefly, then Crazy for a little longer, before Silver King come is into break up a near fall. Parka comes into get Silver king, and the rudos jump him for the beatdown. WagnerManiacos have some good, I not always well timed, triple team moves. Gladiador has a nice Asai tornillo onto Crazy Boy, with the other two rudo celebrating on the inside. Parka rushes in and it takes both Electro and Silver King to force him down. Parka's mask is ripped up, but the crowd still roots for him. Parka grabs the ropes on a whip to start the comeback. Gladiador miss a dropkick, Elector is backdropped to the apron, and accidentally dropkicked off by Silver King. Laredo gets Silver King with a missile dropkick, then ropes Electro while Crazy Boy does a tope con giro on to Crazy Boy. Parka throws Silver King in, all by himself. Silver begs off, but Parka goes for the mask. This must take a while, because there’s a pretty obvious clip, and everyone's back to an apron. Must take a long while, because there's a break too.
One patented five minute break bloater, Silver King and Parka are still fighting. Crowd chants for Parka, less so when Silver King punches and kicks him down. Silver King goes for the mask, but it's pretty ripped open on one side. Parka gets a short comeback off a sunset flip roll thru and a missed charge, and Ultimo Gladiador is immediately in to attack him. Parka catches him in armbar, and Silver King accidentally kicks his partner when going for Parka. Electro tries, and Parka manages a headscissors on Silver King and a quebradora on Electroshock. UG tries again, but hi sunset flip is reversed just in time for both Rudos to kick him. Parka poses as the rudos fall out of the ring.
Crazy Boy and Laredo Kid showcases follow. Crazy's looked better. Laredo works solely with Ultimo Gladiador and looks good, if a bit cold. Both guys wave at the crowd a while before they get started, but Laredo especially could be wrestling in front of an empty warehouse once he gets going. Laredo's nice ring post tope con giro take out Gladiador, UG grabs Silver King and falls over the barricade, and Crazy Boy is left alone with Electroshock. Electro moves out off the way of Crazy’ new senton, then stokes chants for himself. Clip, and Crazy is setting Electro up on the top rope. Electro blocks the 'rana, superbombing Crazy instead him. Crowd cheers. Thumb across the throat, Electro-Lock, I guess Crazy doesn't give for some reason, because Piero does a two arm drop (2?), and then calls it.
Silver King returns from the crowd – those two didn’t as much fight in the crowd, but just fell over the barrier and never got up – and brings Parka in the ring to get beat. Meanwhile, Crazy Boy is being stretchered out in record time. That must've been some devastating seated abdominal stretch. Silver King starts a promo on Parka, then stops to soak in the Silver King chants. Parka responds, blah blah blah
Promo: Wagner, Electro and Ultimo Gladiador UG talk trash about the Legion. I guess Silver King had better things to do. Wagner grabs a garbage can from off screen to illustrate where they're going to put the Legion, just in case “basura” is not clear enough.
Video Package: Cibernético vs Konnan, from Guerra de Titanes.
Match 4: Cibernético, Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Chessman, Kenzo Suzuki, Konnan, Zorro
Centro Civico de Ecatepec, 01/17/2010
Winner:
Psycho Circus
Match Time: 11:09
Rating: ok
Notes: Chessman has a new spiffy coat. An “AAA Sin Limite” graphic shows up on the screen suddenly, clearly blocking out something we're not allowed to see in the US. Konnan has four women (four more than the rest of his team!) and Hijo de Tirantes. Announcers now the Clowns names this week. Monster Clown seems to have stolen a teenage girl this time. I guess that’s a face move? Psycho Clown has new gear! Cibernético gets last entrance. Break before he actually appears
Cibernético wears a sleeveless jacket, with lots of zipper sand a turtleneck. It is not a strong fashion choice. Fight breaks out as son as he gets to the ring.
Clowns take control, with Konnan bailing quickly. I can't believe this match started with 20 minutes in the hour. There must a lot of breaks to come. Just brawling for the first couple of minutes, with the Cibernético and the Clowns stopping to challenge Konnan to come into the ring, and Konnan backing off whenever they would approach. After Konan runs off all the way to the entrance, Clowns actually start doing team maneuvers. Chessman takes a flying sit, Zorro takes the low blow headbutt. Kenzo is held hanging from the ropes for a Monster dropkick low. Cibernético claps a lot. He's supportive! Cibernético and Tirantes get into a shoving match, Cibernético threatens to choke the referee, and the Legion storm the ring to beat their opponents now. That was odd transition. I think the idea was they were distracted by Tirantes, but it came off more like they actually started trying once they saw their favorite referee might get hurt. Such caring. Konnan beats down Murder Clown, and the Legion clear the ring for their own 4 on 1s. Zombie can't help but skipping over a leapfrog, and taking a wacky flip on a double kick to the leg. Kenzo suplexes him, and Chessman and Konnan rip up his mask. Psycho takes a clothesline, a superkick, a clothesline and brainbuster finally from Kenzo. Cibernético comes in to help, but gets slapped into the corner, because the Legion have to rip up the mask first. Psycho escapes, Cibernético is stomped out, but Murder Clown comes in to trash people. Punch for Tirantes, scoop and slam for Kenzo, Chessman tries a 'rana (?!?!?!) and gets powerbombed. Monster loses track of Zorro and misses a clothesline, then runs into a overhead belly to belly suplex. That one seemed to defy many laws of physics, but okay. Zorro rips open Monster Clown's mask – theses mask are ripping very easily. Monster ducks Zorro's superkick (how do you miss the six foot guy?), but Chessman hands his partner a chair, and two chair shots are enough to knock down the giant clown. Kenzo adds on chair knee drop to the head. Legion all grab Murder Clown and pose for photos. Crowd is chanting for Ciber, rather loudly. He must be coming soon, because Konnan is leaving for no reason. Long crowd shot, and then – hey, it's Cibernético cleaning the ring. Chessman gets backdropped out, and Monster Clown flies out of the ring with a slingshot tope con giro onto him. Kenzo runs into a spear, and Psycho Clown adds a frogspash. Kenzo rolls out, and Psycho topes him. Cibernético and Konan left in, and lots of punches to the chest. Konnan falls down and rolls out, Zorro sings and misses the cane, and Cibernético chokeslams him. Cover, but Hijo de Tirantes doesn't like the idea of counting here. Thinking about it, thinking about it – one, thinking about it, thinking about it – Piero arrives, kicks Hijo de Tirantes out of the way, one two three.
Crowd is thrilled. Murder Clown grabbed Hijo de Tirantes so he couldn't break up that pin. Cibernético and the Psycho Clown celebrate. Why is there still eight minutes left in this show? Hijo de Tirantes protest to the announcers. All the Clowns are acting as if they've been quite hurt in this battle, and Monster Clown can't even get the top of his mask to cover his face. Cibernético does his usual promo. Replays, everyone leaves.
Commercial break!
Promo: Psycho Circus are angry about their masks getting ripped up. Although their mask are fine now (and Monster Clown is very missing.) They're coming for Konnan. Good promo, anyway. Odd way to end the show, so there must've been a film plug to actually end it.
