AAA 2/28/2011 Guanajuato Review
1. Mini Psicosis, Mini Histeria, Mini Chessman vs. Octagoncito, Mascarita Divina, Mini Charly Manson
Charly and Chessman start, and Charly has him down for a pin early but Histeria breaks it up and screams at the crowd like a crazy person. Histeria and Charly now, the crowd chants for Charly and he runs at histeria in the corner but gets flipped onto the apron, then climbs up top and comes off at Mini Chessman with a missile dropkick. Really nice headscissors by Charly sends Histeria to the floor, Psicosis and Divina now in. Divina flies around the ring and hits a springboard plancha for two. He kicks Mini Psicosis right in the face with a seated dropkick then catches Chessman as he runs in with a great spinning armdrag. Octagoncito in now and he takes out Mini Chessman with a headscissors then armdrags Histeria who pops back up and knocks him down with a back elbow. More back and forth and Octagoncito hits a rollup but the rudos run in to break it up and beat him down and the rest of the técnicos. Triple team on Mini Charly and the rudos don't seem to know what to do with him for a second as Histeria just stands there on the top rope, but Psicosis drapes him across his knee and Histeria hits him with a leg drop. Divina in now who breaks up the rudos and the rest of the técnicos jump in to take over. Octagoncito sends Mini Histeria to the outside with a headscissors and then hits a springboard tornillo suicida. On the other side, Charly hits a plancha suicida on Psicosis, then Divina hits an asai moonsault on Mini Chessman. Inside the ring, Octagoncito flies in on Histeria with a diving armdrag, then the flying tijeras, then another armdrag into a cradle pin for the three count. Good stuff from the opening match minis here. I'm really impressed with Mini Charly Manson from what I've seen, I sure hope he has a better career path than his namesake.
The elder Roldan is in his office with La Parka and Dr. Wagner Jr. and they talk about the situation in AAA with the aggression from La Sociedad. Joaquin talks with Parka about his problems with Cibernético and Parka says he may not be able to help them out with defending AAA with all that has happened with him and Cibernético.
2. Electroshock vs. Heavy Metal
The little person and model that hang out with Heavy Metal come down the ramp but Heavy Metal comes out of the crowd to attack Electroshock, catching him off guard and beating him down until he falls out of the ring. Heavy Metal sprints and hits a tope suicida with a hard impact on the floor to both of them and Heavy's incredibly strange crew scatters. Heavy takes him up the stairs and suplexes him down hard onto the stage. They brawl through the crowd with Heavy in control, throwing chairshots at him and punches until Electroshock manages to whip him hard into the wall as Ultimo Gladiador and Silver King show up on the ramp with their belts. Electroshock takes control and drags him further throughout the crowd, hits him with a chairshot of his own and then tosses him over the barrier wall further into the crowd and jumps it after him. Electroshock grabs a cooler and tosses it back over the wall and takes Heavy Metal back over the wall with it, then gives him a stiff looking powerbomb onto the cooler that probably didn't feel too good for Heavy Metal. The tag champs continue to stand in the entrance way with chairs watching the match as Heavy and Electro fight up to the second tier of seating in the arena. Electro tries to slam him off the wall but is unsuccessful and Heavy fouls him which sends Electroshock off the wall and Heavy comes off after him with an axe handle smash. They finally work their way back towards the ring and brawl in the aisleway right by Silver King and Gladiador, Heavy takes a chair from them and hits Electroshock but is fouled by him right afterwards. The little person and valet girl jump Electroshock until they're pulled off by security, then Silver and Gladiador jump Electroshock and beat him down with a backstabber from Ultimo on the floor, then Silver King sets a chair up and hits Electro with a downward spiral on it. Electroshock slowly crawls into the ring and Heavy reluctantly crawls in after him, seeming a bit displeased by the interference and having to be persuaded by his valet. Heavy hits La Magistral for a three count and the tag champs jump in and continue their beatdown as Heavy Metal looks on.
Backstage Konnan is on his phone and tells someone that Carlito Carribbean Cool is coming in for Rey de Reyes. L.A. Park walks in and Konnan hangs up and says he was talking to Dorian. Park tells him that people backstage are talking poorly about them, Konnan says it doesn't matter, but Park says he put Mesías in the hospital for them and now he's upset because he's looked at the card for Rey de Reyes and he isn't in a match for the Megacampeonato. Park tells him he is in a semifinal for the RdR tonight and is going to win, and that Konnan is going to stop playing around with him, saying that Cibernético might be right about Konna. Konnan says Cibernético is a liar and he's just trying to cause friction between Park and Konnan, and that Park will be next in line for a title shot after Charly Manson, and if he doesn't believe him he can call Dorian right now. Park says it doesn't matter yells at Konnan that he doesn't believe him and leaves.
A Carlito video package is shown, even including a grainy video shot of him from WWE because that inherently makes him important or something, even if he got fired.
Back in Joaquin's office, Dr. Wagner Jr. tells La Parka he cannot leave because they need to stop what is happening in AAA like the attack on Mesías. Parka asks him what he would do if somebody did the same to his son what Cibernético did to his, and Wagner concedes. Parka tells them that what happened is between him and Cibernético and that maybe when it is all over he can help AAA, then leaves the office. Wagner tells Roldan that they are not alone and he has a plan.
3. Ozz and Cuervo vs. Damián 666 and El Zorro
Both teams start off brawling and the Sociedad members Damián and Zorro take control early taking down Ozz and Cuervo with the kendo stick while Jennifer Blake and Bestia assist on the outside. As they continue to beat down on the técnicos, a man dressed in all black wearing the "iron mask" from Zorro's past appears in the crowd and Zorro looks at him confused. Zorro leaves the ring to go after him but Damián goes out and holds him back from the man who disappears out of the crowd. Back inside the ring the rudos continue the beatdown and Zorro hits a bronco buster on Ozz proving that somehow people are still doing that move. They go after Cuervo now and try to splash him in the corner but he moves out of the way and kicks Zorro in the gut then sends him off the ropes and hits a quebradora. Ozz pulls Blake out of the ring by the hair but Tirantes Jr. prevents him from doing anything, like the guy at the party who sticks up for the annoying girl but we all know he won't get anything good out of it. Ozz pulls Bestia in and they pull him into the corner and wishbone his legs against the ring post. Damián in now with Ozz who sends him down with a shoulder tackle and an armdrag then a tijeras but Damián answers right back with a dropkick to the face. Damián sends Ozz into the corner but he climbs up to the top and hits a great tornillo onto Damián and covers him but Zorro breaks it up with a senton that Ozz avoids, crushing Damián. Zorro sends Ozz off the ropes now who springboards off with a moonsault but Zorro moves and hits him with a superkick. They head towards the corner and Zorro chops away at himthen sends him to the opposite and goes for a spear but Ozz moves and Zorro spills to the floor like a dummy. They gather back in the ring and Zorro takes down Cuervo with a clothesline. Blake holds Cuervo on the apron and Zorro rushes at them but Cuervo ducks and Zorro boots Blake to the floor. Cuervo trips up Zorro and goes for the cover but Blake breaks it up only for Cuervo to move away as she nails Zorro with an elbow drop. Cuervo sets her up for a powerbomb but Zorro javelins the kendo stick at him to break it up in a hilarious moment. Zorro grabs him and they chop each other then run the ropes and Cuervo takes him down with a bulldog. Damián is in with Cuervo now and applies a wristlock and tries to do a rope walk but Cuervo crotches him and he falls outside to the floor. Cuervo gets distracted by Bestia on the apron and Zorro catches him as he turns around with a superkick, then grabs the kendo stick and begins beating down both of them with it. Zorro takes out Tirantes Jr. with a kendo stick shot as he tries to stop him and Escoria and Taboo and clear ringside then get taken out with shots from the kendo stick via El Zorro as well. Charly arrives with a freaking cheese grater and goes after Zorro, busting him open. Any guy who brings a cheese grater to a fight is not the kind of guy you want to fight, for plenty of reasohs. Zorro is a bloody mess as Los Bizarros continue the beatdown on him and we go from an extremely bloody shot of Zorro to a shot of a smiling kid in the crowd wearing a Perros shirt. Charly gets on the microphone and challenges Zorro to a match at Rey de Reyes for the Megacampeonato.
4. Rey de Reyes semifinal: Halloween vs. Nicho el Millonario vs. L.A. Park vs. Dr. Wagner Jr.
Park and Wagner start off going after each other and Park takes his time doing his dance before they face off, then chops Wagner down and dances again. They punch back and forth and Wagner takes him down with a kick, then Park comes off the ropes with a clothesline and takes him down then proceeds to dance again until Nicho throws a chair at him to enter the match, ending the dance party. Nicho hits a final cut on Park then takes him up and off the top rope with a frankensteiner. Nicho climbs the opposite top rope but gets pulled off by Damián on the apron and Halloween goes up top after him only to get thrown off. Nicho then comes off with a plancha but Halloween catches him and hits a F5. Wagner and Halloween face off now and Halloween takes him down with a superkick then rushes at him only to get slid face first out of the ring. Park follows Wagner into the corner now with punches and then does his dance to the approval of the crowd. He kicks Wagner hard in the back of the leg and sends him into the opposite corner, only for Wagner to lift his legs and hit a sunset flip that Park rolls out of. Wagner runs at him and Park ducks twice before getting hit with a flying clothesline for a two count, then Wagner rolls him up again for another two count, and tries again but gets kicked in the gut. Park pulls him through the 2nd and 3rd ropes and walks onto the apron then gives him a nice reverse DDT against the apron with his legs hitting the top rope and his body falling to the outside, a pretty inventive move. Park goes for a dive but Nicho comes off top with a heel kickand then hits both ropes and leg drops him for a two. Nicho goes off the ropes again but Damián trips him up and Halloween catches him with a superkick, but Park pulls Damián off the apron and Nicho hits Halloween with a downward spiral. They fight to their feet and Nicho hits Halloween with a DDT and goes up top but is cut off by Wagner who goes for a superplex, then Park powerbombs Wagner as he superplexes him. Park sprints hard and takes out Damián with a nice tope but Wagner rushes at him and takes him out with a running tope con giro off the apron, only to get hit with a tope from Halloween, then Nicho hits the three of them with a springboard asai moonsault. In the ring, Park goes up top and comes off but Wagner lifts his feet up and hits Park in the face and then hits him with a shining wizard. Nicho and Halloween go two on one on Wagner, and they do a cool spot where Wagner leapfrogs a rushing Nicho into a spear off the second rope by Halloween. Wagner takes Halloween now and hits him with a Michinoku driver for a three count for the first elimination. Park back in and goes after Nicho with chops then catches him off the ropes with a powerslam for two. He takes down Wagner with two consecutive tackles but Wagner pops back up and hits him with an enziguri and all three men lay on the mat. Nicho rushes at Wagner with a kick but Wagner catches him and hits a dragon screw, then goes back after Park with a kick, and turns to Nicho but gets rolled up by him for two. Nicho goes for an enziguri but Wagner ducks and kicks him hard then pulls him up and hits him with a Michinoku driver too for a three count as Park watches from the corner. He takes down Park and an interfering Damián with a Michinoku driver and goes for a rollup on Park, but Park is alert and reverses the rollup into one of his own and gets a three count, then celebrates dancing and pumping his fists in the air. He talks to Mesías in the camera and tells him that he is going to win Rey de Reyes and laughs maniacally. This was a really awesome match. L.A. Park and Wagner both are great but Park especially was just such a fantastic rudo here, acting like an absolutely annoying jerk and pulling out the cheap win at the end after Wagner did all the hard work and then celebrating like he did all the work himself. The Mesías/Park matches are some of my absolute favorite matches on their own, but seeing the lead up to them has made them even better.
5. Extreme Tiger, Jack Evans, La Parka vs. Charly Manson, Cibernético, Escoria
La Parka is the last man out and dances in the aisleway as the fans go crazy but is immediately attacked by Los Bizarros and all six men begin brawling, with Bizarros having the advantage thanks to the extra man at ringside, Taboo. Cibernético and Taboo go to work on Parka with chairs from the crowd as Escoria and Charly are in the ring with Tiger and Charly hiptosses him into a set up set of chairs. The rudos have all sorts of chairs and Cibernético now leads a beatdown on Parka inside the ring as he watches on and smirks. Charly lays Jack across his knees and Escoria comes off the top with a leg drop that just crushes him. Charly beats down Parka against a railing on the outside and an old lady begins hitting Charly with her shoe until they are pulled apart, so at least she's putting up more of a fight than the técnicos at this point in the match. Jack comes off the apron onto Escoria with a springboard Trouble in Paradise kick that sends Escoria out and then hits a diving tijeras onto him on the outside for for the first técnico offense of the match but Extreme Tiger gets his head taken off by Charly with a clothesline inside the ring. Tiger moves quickly around Charly and hits a backflip dropkick then a nice tijeras. Charly gets dumped to the outside and Tiger hits a springboard tornillo that takes him out. Jack and Cibernético face off now, and Jack spins on his head to taunt him but then gets nailed with punches and backed into the corner. Jack fights back but gets tripped up by Taboo and pulled outside and now Parka and Cibernético face off to the approving roar of the crowd and Cibernético takes him down with a tackle. Cibernético tries to hold him for Escoria but he comes off top and Parka moves for him to nail Cibernético with a dropkick. Sasuke Special by Evans on Taboo outside as Escoria gets flapjacked by Parka down to the mat and then Parka hits a sidewalk slam for the three count but Los Bizarros immediately continue the beatdown. Zorro's music hits and he runs down with his kendo stick still covered in blood and takes out Charly, but the numbers catch up to him and Bizarros gang up on him to continue the beatdown. La Sociedad arrive with Konnan who walks to the ring, but Joaquin arrives as well with Dr. Wagner and their backup. Konnan and La Sociedad stand on the outside as Joaquin grabs the microphone and tells them that this is the beginning of them taking back AAA from La Sociedad and all the other groups. Wagner takes the microphone and tells them they are a family in AAA, and says they are going to take them down. He extends his hand to Parka and invites him to challenge them with him at Rey de Reyes, and the fans chant Parka's name as Wagner tells him he is not alone and they are a family. Parka is reluctant, and tells Wagner that he wants to do it all on his own. Wagner persists and finally Parka agrees to join his side, and they celebrate as Wagner's music plays.
This was a show that was mostly used to advance the storylines, so the main event, Heavy vs. Electroshock and the tag match both had a lot of interference and they didn't really get a chance to have a solid match. The Rey de Reyes match, however, was great, especially the stuff involving Park.
