AAA 3/13/2011 Morelia Review

I'm sure that tastes good.

A highlight video of the last show airs, recapping the Gran Apache/Tirantes Jr. feud, Heavy Metal/Electroshock, Zorro/Charly Manson, and La Sociedad vs. AAA/Los Bizarros.

Backstage, Gran Apache tapes up Faby Apache’s knee and he asks her if she’s sure she wants to fight tonight, she says yes because she has to defend her title. Gran Apache tells her he is going to take care of Hijo del Tirantes.

1. AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship: Jennifer Blake & Alan Stone vs. Faby Apache & Pimpinela Escarlata ©

Faby and Pimpi are the reigning champs and have held the titles since October 1^st of 2010 when they defeated a different La Sociedad team, Alex Koslov and Christina von Eerie. Alan starts with Pimpi and whips him into the corner then goes in after but Pimpi moves out of the way and chops him in the chest. They trade chops and work their way to the center of the ring until Jennifer attacks Pimpi to break it up. Faby climbs in as the fans chant her name and runs the ropes with Jennifer then kicks her in the chest and runs them again into a headscissors on Jennifer sending her outside. Faby goes for a dive but Tirantes trips her down as she runs and the rudos take advantage inside the ring. Alan sends Faby off the ropes and hits her with a quebradora con giro and stomps away. Blake and Stone each grab a leg and wishbone her legs. They tie up Pimpi in the ropes and chop him in the chest before going after Faby’s injured knee with a chair. The rudos swing away at Faby’s injured knee time after time until she escapes from the ring. The rudos set up a chair in the corner and try to whip Pimpi into it but she reveres the whip, Stone stops short and grabs the chair only to get it dropkicked into his face by Faby. Faby hobbles around with the chair and turns towards Blake with it lifted over her head but Tirantes grabs it from her and Jennifer escapes. Stone gets cut off by Pimpi who jumps up top and gives him a missile dropkick to send him outside. Pimpi climbs to the corner and hits a plancha suicida on Alan on the outside. Inside, Faby hits a german suplex with a bridge for a two count. She lifts Blake again and hits her with an Angel’s Wings for a very slow two count from the rudo Hijo del Tirantes. Blake crawls towards the ropes but Faby hits her with a shining wizard and covers near the ropes, conveniently enough, for Tirantes to lay Blake’s foot on the ropes after another slow two count. Faby limps towards Tirantes in protest but Blake cuts her off with a blow to the knee and locks on a single leg crab on Faby’s injured knee for the submission victory.

Afterwards the rudos continue the beatdown, bringing out Gran Apache who is kept out of the ring by Hijo del Tirantes with the chair until they escape as the doctor checks on Faby’s knee. Not much to this match, just a way to continue the Apaches/Sociedad feud, but it was well executed.

Halloween, Damian 666 and Perro Aguayo Jr. have a meeting backstage. Halloween and Damian wonder who their partner will be, and ask about Super Crazy. Perro talks about how they are the best group in AAA and have nothing to worry about. Perro calls out the Psycho Clowns and says they will destroy them. Then they all bark like Perros.

2. Bull Terrier match: Electroshock vs. Heavy Metal

Heavy enters with his mini Lokillo and valet, Electroshock is in the ring wearing his lovely Giant Gonzales-esque bodysuit. As per the usual in all Bull Terrier matches, they are connected by two dog collars on a single chain. Electroshock begins by charging at Heavy in the corner and punches away at him. They go from one side to the other and Electro wraps the chain around his fist and punches Heavy then grinds the chain into his face. The mini distracts Electro from the apron long enough for Heavy to clock Electro from behind with the chain. Heavy wraps the chain around Electro’s neck and chokes him with it until Tropicasas pulls him off. Heavy goes for a DDT against the ropes but Electro reverses it into a spinebuster as the mini and valet get the fans to cheer Heavy’s name. Electro grabs the middle of the chain and whips Heavy back and forth across the ring, slamming him onto his back a few times. Heavy drops outside, pulling Electro down with the chain, but then tries to roll inside while Electroshock rolls out and they get caught with the chain wrapped around the post. Electro takes advantage, slamming Heavy’s head into the post repeatedly, until he walks away and Heavy recovers incredibly quickly and pulls the chain back snapping Electroshock’s head into the post. They each climb inside and Heavy takes him down with a chained punch and chokes Electroshock out with the chain, pulling back with his leg against Electro’s back. Heavy climbs up top with the chain still around Electroshock’s neck and goes down to the outside, hanging Electroshock in a brutal choke against the ropes. Heavy lets go eventually, apparently not wanting to kill Electroshock, and the two of them have a tug of war over the chain with Heavy still on the outside. Electro pulls Heavy up to the apron by his hair, then climbs onto the apron himself. They each wrap a portion of the chain around their fist and take turns punching each other on the apron, each time wavering a little bit more. Finally they both wind up and do a dramatic double strike with both of them landing outside. Electro tries to climb in but Heavy pulls him towards the ramp and up to the stage. Heavy tries to do…something with Electroshock but Electro stops him and suplexes him on the stage. Electro whips the chain like a belt against Heavy’s back a few times then runs his knee into his face. Electroshock climbs back in the ring with Heavy still on the outside and they do the tug of war spot again. Commercial break.

Show returns to Electroshock standing pulling Heavy into the ring. Electro pulls Heavy up for the martinete but Tropicasas pushes him over and reminds him that it’s illegal as Electroshock protests. Heavy takes advantage, pulling Electro down with the chain and locks him in basically a toehold using the chain. He lets up and goes to touch the four corners but Electro hits him with a spinning heel kick after he touches three. Electro starts going for them but Heavy Metal cuts him off and headbutts him to the ground. Whip to the corner by Electroshock and he follows him to the corner. Heavy climbs onto the post but Electroshock catches him and hits an Alabama slam, then tries to touch the posts but gets tripped up after 3. They start trading shots on their knees with the fans chanting for Heavy Metal. They stand, and Electroshock hits a lungblower then goes for the corners but gets 3 before Heavy pulls him down at the very last second as he’s about to touch the fourth. Electroshock proves how evil he is by going after Lokillo but the valet pulls him away to safety. Inverted crucifix slam off the top by Electroshock who touches 3 corners but is then distracted by los Maníacos, who he knocks off the apron without much trouble. He turns back to Heavy Metal and begins punching him in the corner until he is cut off by Heavy’s valet and Lokillo. He slaps her HARD and then knocks Lokillo down for good measure. Heavy fights back and low blows Electroshock while Tropicasas attends to Heavy’s fallen comrades and he touches all four corners with the aid of the foul to win the match. Los Mamíacos climb back into the ring afterwards and yell at Heavy Metal and tell him to accept their handshake, which he backs away from and they go back to attacking Electroshock. Gladiador hits him with a lungblower off the second rope as they take Heavy’s valet out on a stretcher (it was quite the slap). This was just like every Heavy Metal vs. Electroshock match that came before it, in case you couldn’t tell.

A recap of the Bizarros/Sociedad feud airs. After that, we see Cibernético walking backstage. He opens a door, looks in, and we hear heavy breathing. He walks in and closes the door. Okay.

3. Silver King, Último Gladiador, El Zorro vs. Billy el Malo, Taboo, Charly Manson

Los Bizarros come out second and sprint towards the ring to begin the match with all six men brawling. Zorro stomps Charly in one corner as Billy and Taboo get beaten down on the other side, and the Sociedad team clears the ring. 3 on 1 on Charly now and Gladiador holds him as Zorro stomps him in the gut, then they whop him into the ropes and King hits a dropkick to his knees, followed by a standing moonsault by Gladiador with a little help from Silver King. Charly rolls outside and they go to work on Taboo now, with los Maníacos taking him down with a double drop tope hold and then rolling through and each man dropkicking him down. Zorro then lifts him for a backdrop and dumps him over the ropes as they turn to Billy. They work on Billy in the corner and then whip him into the other side where Silver King comes off the top with a missile dropkick. They continue beating on Billy then whip him into the corner again. Running big boot by Gladiador, followed by one by Zorro who then whips him out into Gladiador, who flips him over into another missile dropkick by Silver King. The Sociedad team is in control but the Man in the Iron Mask who has been stalking Zorro appears again, on the ramp this time, and distracts them long enough for los Bizarros to take control from behind. They clear the ring and focus on Zorro who is in the middle surrounded by him as they go to commercial.

Back from commercial and Zorro and Charly face off with each team on the apron. Zorro tags out to King avoiding Charly and he comes in yelling at Charly, then sticks out his hand for a handshake only to have Gladiador knock down Charly from behind. Zorro comes in now to work on the fallen Charly and twists his boot across his face. Whip into the ropes and double team clothesline attempt but Charly ducks out. Zorro attempts an enziguri but Charly ducks and he takes out Silver. Gladiador charges and he and Charly struggle to do something before Zorro charges with a big boot that Charly ducks sending Zorro into Último. Zorro tries to escape like a chicken but Charly grabs him by the hair and pulls him back in, only to get nailed by Silver King with a dropkick to the back of the head. Silver holds him and Gladiador goes for a dropkick but Charly ducks again and he nails Silver King, then Charly hits a tope suicida onto Silver King. Inside Billy takes down Gladiador with a headscissors and hits an even better tope of his own sending Gladiador tumbling into the crowd. Zorro runs at Taboo in the corner but Taboo ducks and Zorro crashes, then Taboo takes him down with a clothesline. Taboo up top for a cannonball senton but Zorro moves. Kendo stick shot by Zorro to Taboo then he turns to Charly who ducks away. Masked man appears again on the ramp and this time Zorro has had enough and chases after him, leaving his teammates with the disadvantage.  Billy gets Gladidor up and hits the Gori Bomb for a three count and the win. Jennifer and Billy yell at each other afterwards but Zorro returns to even the odds with his kendo stick before anything happens. Good match, I like what they did with Charly and Zorro here to continue their feud and Billy el Malo looked impressive. Zorro plays a great cowardly rudo when he needs to.

Mesías is backstage and stops La Parka as he is walking past him. He tells La Parka he wants to make sure that they are working together and he wants to go after whoever attacked him. Parka tells him that he’s already chosen his side and he wants to go after Cibernético, and that he’s wondering why Mesías hasn’t come out with the side he’s taking yet. Mesías tells him to not worry about that, and all that matters is that they are working together.

 

4. Damián 666, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween, Lizmark Jr. vs. Monster Clown, Psycho Clown, Murder Clown, Dr. Wagner Jr.

Lizmark Jr. is the mystery partner for the Perros. Match starts with all eight men brawling of course. Perros have chairs and start beating down the Clowns and Wagner with them for a while. Double hiptoss by Halloween and Damián to Psycho Clown onto two unfolded chairs, wow. More brawling and the ring clears until they have Murder Clown down on the outside covered in chairs and Halloween does a head-first slide into a splash. Stereo dropkicks by Lizmark and Damián sends the Clowns outside and then they each hit a tope suicida. Perro and Wagner square off now, and Perro takes him down with a back elbow then sets up a table in the corner. Perro sends Wagner into the opposite corner and charges in but Wagner moves away then pulls him back in as he tries to escape and backdrops him through the table. Murder Clown holds Damián as Monster slaps him with a belt across the back. Wagner and Perro brawl outside on one side as Lizmark and Psycho brawl on the other. Cut, and Damián kneels in the center of the ring as all four técnicos dropkick him from each side. Commercial break.

Return from commercial with Lizmark fighting back against the Clowns. He whips Wagner into the corner but is reversed and Wagner gives him a spinebuster. The other Clowns hold his legs apart while Psycho comes off the top with a headbutt. They turn to Halloween now, beating him down against the ropes then taking turns chopping him in the chest. Murder Clown comes off the ropes and leapfrogs onto Halloween who is splayed against the ropes, crushing him. They back Perro into the corner now with stomps then Wagner snapmares him out. Monster Clown holds him in a wheelbarrow position and Murder Clown gives him a legdrop and they all pose as the fans chant for Psycho. Poke to the eyes by Damián has Psycho reeling and he sends him into the corner. Damián charges but Psycho back drops him to the apron, hits him, and then nails him with a lungblower through the ropes. Halloween in now, he ducks a heel kick from Psycho and nails him with a spear, bringing in Monster, who sidesteps another spear sending Halloween into the post, and follows it up with a neckbreaker. He goes for the cover but Lizmark Jr. breaks it up. Lizmark gets sent off the ropes and Monster waits for the back drop but Lizmark kicks him in the chest, sends him off the ropes again and hits a spinning powerslam and covers but the pin is broken up by Murder Clown. Murder is in now, he impressively gorilla presses the 6’2” Lizmark and slams him hard. Murder hits the ropes and goes for an elbow drop but Lizmark moves. Murder sent off the ropes again but he kicks Lizmark in the chest and sends him out with a clothesline over the ropes. Perro rushes at Murder but gets clotheslined down hard and sells it like he ran full speed into a brick wall. He hits the ropes again, slides through Murder’s legs, and dropkicks his knees to take him down, then quickly hits him with another dropkick to the head and bounces off the ropes for a third but Wagner jumps in and Perro stops dead in his tracks when he sees him and stares like he’s seen a ghost. Awesome reaction. Sunset flip by Wagner for a one count, Perro jumps up, kicks him in the back of the leg and goes for la casita but Wagner rolls him up for another one count from the slow-counting Tirantes Jr. Wagner protests by kicking Tirantes hard in the back of the leg sending him down. Bodyslam by Wagner, he heads up top, diving headbutt but Perro moves and rolls him up for a fast two count and Wagner stares him down. Perro off the ropes with a dropkick to Wagner’s chin, then a second that sends him through the ropes and landing straight on his back on the outside in a pretty brutal manner. Perro runs for a dive but the Clowns cut him off and they have a staredown. Psycho and Monster fight Halloween and Lizmark now with chops and send them both out with stereo dropkicks then hit a tope suicida on each of them. Murder Clown and Damián now, Clown backdrops him outside into the group of luchadores then climbs up top for the big man plancha suicida and everybody crashes. Damián and Wagner now, they run the ropes, Damián slides through his legs and hits a clothesline and a legdrop for a two count. Damián pulls him up top then nails him with La Ultramana, then climbs up top for a moonsault that Wagner slides away from. Wagner is up, Michinoku Driver on Damián and the cover for a three count. Enjoyable match, the Psycho Clowns are always entertaining, Wagner is great, and Perro worked well as a rudo foil to all of them. Perros attack with chairs after the bell and Perro steals Wagner’s mask, followed by the rest of them stealing the Clowns’ masks. Commercial break.

Return from break with the Perros still celebrating in the ring with the masks of their opponents, who actually beat them, though you wouldn’t know by the aftermath.

Konnan meets with Zorro backstage. Konnan says he needs Zorro to tell him what’s going on. He tells him he doesn’t care about Charly Manson but that he can’t be helping La Parka and Nicho while abandoning Los Maníacos. He has to be more intelligent than this, Konnan says. Zorro says he doesn’t understand what’s going on, Konnan tells him that Charly is just playing mind games with him. He says the Masked Zorro is just the Zorro of the past and that Masked Zorro no longer exists. He needs to be on Sociedad’s side against AAA. Zorro tells him that everything will be explained.

5. El Mesías, La Parka, Joe Lider vs. Cibernético, Escoria, Nygma

La Parka is the last to enter and Cibernético jumps him on the outside as the rest brawl in the ring.  Cibernético drags Parka right through the ring girls posing for the camera on the stage who run in terror as he slams Parka’s head against the stage. Everyone in the ring now, and Cibernético has two chairs in his hands which can mean nothing good. He lays one against Parka’s ankle and slams it with the other while Escoria dropkicks a chair into Lider’s face in the opposite corner. Escoria drags Parka to the center and lays Mesías on top of him, and Cibernético spears Lider in the chest with a chair which did not look comfortable. They pull Mesías off of Parka, maybe realizing how dumb that looked, and then pile a bunch of chairs onto Parka for Cibernético to nail with a chair of his own about eight times. Lider gets shot off the ropes into a fireman’s carry slam by Cibernético and a top rope legdrop by Escoria. La Parka rolls back into the ring now, and he gets sent into the corner for three consecutive elbows from each Bizarro. Mesías jumps back in now and gets sent of the ropes but slams Escoria down hard by his dreadlocks and hits Nygma with a clothesline. He turns to Cibernético but is quickly taken down from behind by Escoria. Cibernético lifts Parka now and holds him in the corner screaming in his face. Escoria goes at him in the corner but Parka moves and he crashes and burns. Nygma runs into a quebradora con giro and he holds it in place for a top rope legdrop by Lider as Mesías gives Escoria a spinebuster. Mesías sends Escoria off the ropes and nails him with a chair and he falls outside. Parka invites Cibernético into the ring. Commercial break.

Nygma and Mesías cross the ropes and Mesías gets dropkicked in the knees. Mesías off the ropes, slides through Nygma’s legs and hits a backstabber. Escoria in and he stands off with Mesías then just dropkicks him. Chops in the corner by Escoria, he sends Mesías to the other. Escoria charges in but Mesías springboards over him only to get elbowed in the face by Escoria then kicked in the chest. Escoria hits the ropes right into a Mesías powerslam for a two count that could be three but Mesías stands up as Cibernético jumps in to break it up. They square off and talk trash for a few moments, then each man hits the ropes and goes for a shoulder block and neither man budges. Same thing again and neither man moves, then Mesías goes for a third but Cibernético waits and clotheslines him. Cibernético sends Mesías into the corner and charges but Mesías lifts the boot into his face and hits a bulldog and Cibernético bails. Lider in with Nygma who sends him into the corner but gets hit with a boot. He should’ve learned his lesson from the last set of spots. Lider hits a hammerlock style backstabber and I’ve officially seen enough of that move for one show, although I will say at least he found a different way to do it. Leg kick by Escoria sends Lider down. Escoria lifts him and pokes him in the eye then chops him in the chest and mugs to the crowd. Little things like poking the técnico in the eye while he’s lifting him off the mat make Escoria great. He then talks trash to Mesías who slaps him in the face. Mesías is not as amused by Escoria. Lider hits Escoria with another onef of his hammerlock backstabbers that the announcer calls a sidebreaker. Whatever you call it, it looks awful. La Parka tags in and faces off with Escoria who isn’t happy about the crowd chanting Parka’s name and shakes his head furiously. He hits the ropes and gets flapjacked by Parka and rolls out. Cibernético in now, he and Parka trade chops until he clotheslines Parka down. Parka retaliates with one of his own sending Cibernético down and Nygma jumps in to distract him so Cibernético nails Parka with a chair to the face out of nowhere. Mesías jumps in and yells at Cibernético then nails him with a dropkick to send him outside and a springboard plancha. Escoria runs in and dropkicks Lider and sends him into the corner but Lider reverses it and then picks up the chair and throws it at his head. They go to the apron and Lider picks up Escoria and hits a death valley driver to the floor in a crazy looking spot. Nygma with a missile dropkick to Parka for a two count. He sends Parka to the corner and rushes in but Parka boots him down. Parka lifts up Nygma, hits him with the rock bottom, and covers him for the three count. Good main event match, probably the best match on the show although there was not a ton of competition. The Mesías/ Cibernético spots were interesting and it continued the La Parka/Cibernético feud well by not giving away too much of them but still teasing it as the big feud, with Cibernético basically taking his cheap shots and never facing off with Parka on a level playing field.

After the match los Bizarros jump the ring and go after La Parka but Zorro shows up for the save only to have the rest of the Sociedad, including Konnan, pull him back from making the save as the show goes off the air with highlights.

Overview: Although the fourth and fifth matches were definitely entertaining this was a pretty thin show, but that is easy to understand given that the next one is Rey de Reyes.

AAA 2/28/2011 Guanajuato Review

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.

AAA 2-4-11 Naucalpan, Part 2 - Review

AAA 2/4/11 Naucualpan, Part 2 - Review

Heavy Metal comes out to open the show wearing some fantastic looking Zubaz. He says that this is his house, and then introduces a dwarf that he calls his mascot and also a valet. Electroshock's music interrupts him, and Electroshock comes out to the roaring approval of the crowd and calls Heavy Metal "Rigo Tovar Jr." I had to look that one up, but Rigo, who was a popular singer in Mexico, does look a lot like Heavy Metal for what it's worth. We can all thank Electroshock for that lesson in Mexican culture. Electroshock says that everything that Heavy Metal boasted about, such as being discovered by Antonio Peña, being 100% luchador, etc. was the same for Electroshock but that he was Electroshock in "HDL'", or "alta definición luchística" and is a new Electroshock,  then pushes Heavy Metal out of the way, then his music hits and he leaves. They have a good little feud going here.

1. Dr. Cerebro, Cerebro Negro, Eterno vs. Argenis, Atomic Boy, Gato Eveready

Always good to get a Gato Eveready match, plus a team like Argenis, Atomic Boy, and Gato Everday promises that we'll get someone good in the ring at all times. Gato and Negro start out with some matwork and Gato gets him in a type of figure four but the rudos break it up. The rudos beat down on the tecnicos and hit a powerbomb/backstabber combo on Atomic Boy. The tecnicos fight back with a flapjack by Argenis and a springboard legdrop by Atomic Boy on Negro. Dr. Cerebro turns his back on Atomic Boy who runs up his back and hits a reverse headscissors which looked really awesome. Nice double springboard armdrag by Atomic Boy on Dr. followed by a spinning headscissors and Dr. Cerebro bails out as Astro Boy fakes a dive and bounces off the ropes celebrating. Argenis and Negro in now, headscissors by Argenis, then slams Negro down and hits a superkick when he stands up that sends him out. Gato and Eterno in now, headscissors by Eterno sends Gato down but he goes for a springboard armdrag and Gato shoves him off and hits a dropkick to the face. Super smooth spinning armdrag by Gato sends Eterno down to the floor, then Gato preps for a dive but Dr. Cerebro cuts him off and reverses a headscissors attempt into a back slam. He sends Gato into the ropes who does the hanging spot, then charges but Gato moves and Cerebro falls to the floor for Gato to hit a tope. Stereo dropkicks by Atomic and Argenis send the rudos out and Argenis hits a tope con giro on one side and Atomic Boy hits the other. Gato and Dr. Cerebro in now and Cerebro traps his leg around his and hits a crazy looking piledriver for the three count. The rudos clean house afterwards and what I assume is a bunch of fellow IWRG guys jump the ring and all hit their finishers on the tecnicos trio afterwards. This was a good match, I would have liked to see a little more but I really cannot complain because everything they did was good. I'm probably more of a fan of trios matches like this where the rudos have a long beat down segment on the tecnicos, because I think it just primes the crowd even more for the tecnico's opportunity to come back on the rudos and make it that more dramatic. Doing matches like this where there is basically equal offense between both sides is good for a nice change of pace though, especially when you have tecnicos like this who move so quickly.

L.A. Park confronts Konnan backstage who is on the phone and tells him that he received the letter from Cibernético, and the letter tells him that he is owed a title match against Zorro for the Megacampeonato. Konnan tells him Cibernético is playing with them and there is a spy in La Sociedad that is trying to bring them down. Konnan tells him he needs to stand with them and the opportunity will come, but Park pushes Konnan and leaves upset.

2. Electroshock vs. Heavy Metal

Long staredown to start the match, and Heavy Metal's midget is warming up the fans on the outside. He's also carrying an acoustic guitar, which isn't very heavy metal (unless we're talking MTV Unplugged). Kick to the gut by Electroshock to start out and he backs him into the corner. Rollup by Heavy for two and Electro slaps him in the face then gets taken down for an leg lock by grabs the ropes. Both men up, criss cross the ropes and Heavy knocks him down with a clothesline. Leg work by Heavy but Electroshock reverses into an armbar and they stand again. Big clothesline by Electroshock for a two count. Heavy Metal knocks him down and hits an elbow drop then slaps on a chinlock until Electroshock gets the ropes. Heavy Metal pulls him back out and locks on a doble palanca but Electroshock gets the ropes again. Standing again, dropkick by Electroshock and then hits a kick to the back Heavy's head while seated for a two count. Electroshock locks on a Tapatía and rolls him in it a few times before Heavy gets out. Heavy hits a fisherman's suplex for a two count and then covers him again out of frustration for another two. Heavy goes for a big clothesline but Electroshock ducks and takes him down with a big chop to the chest and then locks him in a sharpshooter. Heavy Metal fights free out of the sharpshooter and hits a headbutt to the groin of Electroshock that he sells like death. Electro gets dumped to the outside and Heavy huts a big tope con giro.] to the outside. Back in the ring, Heavy Metal locks on an armbar now but Electro gets the ropes. They stir to their feet again and Electroshock knocks him to the floor with a dropkick and then hits a tope of his own. Electro brings heavy into the ring with a hiptoss and covers him for two, but then Heavy pulls him into an armbar, which Electro slowly fights out of. Electroshock sends Heavy into the corner and catches him with an exploder suplex for two. They stir to their feet again and each man tries to go for a rollup but they fight out and then Electroshock hits a big powerbomb and both men are down. Heavy Metal's valet climbs in the ring to attend to Heavy, leaving the acoustic guitar on the apron which Electroshock takes. Electro sets up to hit him with the guitar but the valet distracts him long enough for Heavy to knock him down with a dropkick and then a punch to the face. Heavy now foolishly turns to his valet to regroup himself and Electroshock grabs the guitar and smashes it over his head, then covers him for the three count. Pretty slow match between these two that picked up at the end with the dives and the nearfalls but really was not anything special. Definitely the worst match on the show although it really wasn't that bad, just pretty slow compared to the others.

We get a video recapping the La Parka/Cibernético feud up to this point.

3. Charly Manson, Cibernético, Escoria vs. Jack Evans, La Parka, Nicho el Millonario

The rudos jump Nicho and Evans before Parka even gets to the ring, and then Charly attacks Parka once he steps through the curtain. Cibernético immediately goes after Parka, puts the boots to him in the corner and chokes him out as Evans fights Escoria and Nicho fights Charly, but the rudos dominate all in the beginning. Ciber hangs Parka upside down in the corner and stomps away at him brutally and the others take turns splashing Nicho in the opposite corner. All three men beat down Nicho now and slam his neck against the ropes before moving back to Parka and continuing to beat him down in the corner with punches. The fans start chanting for Parka as they beat him down three on one and Escoria hits a running knee lift. They focus on Jack now and chop him against the ropes then Charly hits a crazy looking Gory Special into a facebuster maneuver. Ciber picks him up again and hits a vertical suplex followed by Escoria with a standing moonsault. They continue beating down Parka in the corner, but he starts to fight back against Cibernético with a flurry of punches only to get tripped up by Hijo del Tirantes and get beaten down again. Nicho tries to introduce a chair into the match but he gets cut off and hit with it before Escoria hits a running dropkick sending the chair into his face, and then he gets splashed hard in the corner and falls out of the ring. They focus on Jack now and whip him into the corner for three straight clotheslines that send him to the floor as well and the rudos celebrate before turning their attention back to La Parka. Parka staggers to his feet and Cibernético just kicks him right in the back of the knee like a total dick and he collapses like a sack of onions on the mat. Parka gets pulled into the corner again and whipped to the opposite side, then Charly runs at him but gets flipped over Parka's shoulders to the floor and Escoria misses as well and Parka starts a big comeback by going to town on Cibernético with a flurry of punches followed by stomps that sends him to the outside with Parka in pursuit. Outside on the floor, Evans takes Escoria down with a flurry of kicks and Nicho hits a big boot on Charly. Back inside the ring, Parka has Cibernético cornered with a chair and he flees from the ring so they turn their attention to Hijo del Tirantes and yell at him as the rudos attempt to regroup on the outside. Jack and Escoria face off in the ring now as things settle down a bit and they run at each other with Escoria knocking him down with a spinning heel kick. Evans and Escoria go back and forth and Evans hits a big tornado DDT on him then gets knocked out of the ring by Charly. Nicho and Charly face off now and Charly sends him into the ropes then gets nailed with a spinning heel kick by Nicho that sends him out. Cibernético jumps in, so Parka tags in, and Cibernético tags back out to get away from Parka. Quebradora con giro by Parka on a rushing Escoria and then a clothesline to send him out of the ring and now Parka faces off with Cibernético who hesitates for a while to get into the ring and then reluctatly gets in, but hits a snapmare on Parka and locks him in a chinlock. Tirantes is distracted with the tecnicos, which is driving the crowd crazy, so Escoria jumps in and stomps away at Parka in the chinlock to take advantage of the opportunity. Back to their feet, and a running clothesline by Parka takes Cibernético down and he goes back outside to regroup. Jack and Escoria jump in, and then followed by everyone else who start brawling around the ring. In the midst of all this, Zorro jumps in the ring with his kendo stick and slams it over the head of Charly, who is then pinned by La Parka for the three. After the bell, Zorro continues his assault on Charly while the announcers wonder why he's going only after Charly, and Cibernético beats down La Parka then seems confused about Zorro's actions. Los Bizarros stand over the tecnicos and celebrate as their music plays, then they leave and Parka dances in the ring with some fans to close the show. This match was clipped a little bit, however it was a good match with a lot of action and a lot of heat on the rudos. Jack and Escoria managed to do some cool stuff in there while Parka and Cibernético continued their blood feud, plus a lot of good brawling and you end up with a pretty entertaining match here to close out what was a good show.
