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.

AAA 2-4-11 Naucalpan, Part 1 - Review

AAA 2-4-11 Naucualpan, Part 1 - Review

The show opens and Konnan and El Zorro are sitting in a stairwell discussing their problems with Charly Manson. L.A. Park comes over and interrupts them which infuriates Zorro and he storms off. Park tells Konnan he's signing the contract to be a part of Rey de Reyes and is going to be Megacampeón, but Konnan tells him he has to deal with Mesías before he worries about that.

1. Ronin and Sexi Star vs. Sugi and Fabi Apache

Sugi is someone who is always impressive to watch in the ring, the guy is as fast as a bullet and seems to do all of his crazy moves absolutely flawlessly. The ladies start out with some above average mat work and Fabi manages to get the better of her in the first exchange. They go to work on the mat again and Fabi does some great counters to Sexi. Sugi and Ronin jump in and trade moves and Sugi sends him outside with a headscissors to the floor. Fabi and Sexi back in the ring, they brawl a bit and Sexi hits Sugi with a kick that knocks him to the floor. Sexi gets the better of Fabi and chokes her out in the corner with her boot, then goes after Sugi and does a 2-on-1 attack with Ronin. She hits a bodyslam on Sugi as the show goes to commercial. Returning from the break, the beat down continues and Hijo del Tirantes who is the referee in the match continues to turn a blind eye as Sexi Star low blows Sugi. Whip into the ropes but Sugi hits an awesome spinning armdrag on Ronin that sends him out and then does a rope walk across the ring into a dropkick in the corner on Sexi Star that was equally awesome. Ronin is back in and gets double hiptossed and hit with stereo dropkicks by Fabi and Sugi. Fabi hits a rolling armbar on Sexi but Ronin breaks it up, only to get tossed outside and nailed with a diving huracanrana by Sugi that seemed to mess up Sugi's leg. Fabi hits a tiger suplex on Sexi and has her for the count but Tirantes kicks her legs out from underneath her like the annoying doofus he is and gets slapped in the face by Fabi, who is distracted long enough for Sexi Star to hit a backstabber and win the match on a fast count. Afterwards, Sexi Star grabs a bat with a chain wrapped around it and Tirantes nails Fabi in the knee with it twice until Gran Apache runs in to break it up. Fabi sells her knee as being seriously injured and gets carried out on a stretcher as the fans throw popcorn and sodas at the three rudos who heinously attacked her. Great opening match here with Fabi getting to do some great mat wrestling in the beginning and Sugi getting a real showcase for his talents.

2. Rey de Reyes semifinal: Dark Cuervo vs. Joe Lider vs. Extreme Tiger vs. Chessman

Brawling on the outside to start, Tiger gets suplexed back into the ring by Cuervo and then dropkicked back out by Lider. Cuervo and Lider trade punches and Lider hits a cutthroat neckbreaker for a two count. They run the ropes and Cuervo hits a big boot for two. They go to run the ropes but both get tripped up by the other two who jump in the ring now. German attempt by Chessman, but Tiger flips out and hits a tope con giro to the outside and Chessman hits a running tope on the other side that knocks himself and Lider into the crowd. Chessman and Cuervo crawl slowly back in as Tiger and Lider fight on the outside, and Tiger climbs on the apron only to get superkicked off by Chessman. Chessman and Lider in now, Chessman sends him off the ropes but Lider catches him with an arm capture variation of a backstabber for a two count as the show goes to commercial. Returning to the show and Lider and Chessman are climbing the turnbuckle and Lider hits a reverse DDT off the middle rope and has him covered but Tiger breaks up the pin. Lider gets Tiger up in the torture rack position but Tiger hits a crucifix pin and Lider kicks out at two. They fight to their feet and exchange punches, and Lider pulls Tiger up for a vertical suplex, but Cuervo reappears and flips Tiger's legs down to have him hit a suplex of his own and then kicks Tiger in the face for a two count. They then do an awesome rope running sequence where they criss cross and then Tiger does a rolling somersault only to get dropkicked right in the face right as he comes out of his somersault. Chessman runs at Cuervo but gets a DDT, and Cuervo then goes up top and hits a senton on Chessman and covers him but Tiger breaks up the pin. Not to be outdone, Tiger goes up and hits a 450 off the top but then gets pulled out of the ring by Cuervo and Lider. Those two face off in the ring as the fans chant for Lider, then both run the ropes and catch each other with stereo clotheslines. Lider hits a double underhook piledriver on Cuervo with his feet draped across the ropes Orton style and goes for the cover but Tiger nails him right in the face with an awesome dropkick and Joe gets an amazing wide-eyed look on his face. Extreme Tiger runs at Lider but gets trapped and dropped on his head with a crazy move that can be described as a rubik's cube out of the tiger suplex position that looked incredible. Lider goes for the cover but Chessman breaks it up as the crowd is going crazy for Lider and chanting his name. Lider hits a cradle on Chessman for the two count and then runs and knocks Cuervo off the apron, then gets nailed with a Pele kick by Tiger. Tiger gets sent out by Chessman who waits slowly for Lider to turn around and then nails him with a spear for the three count. This is an elimination match, even though guys have been randomly breaking up each other's pin attempts up to this point. Chessman and Cuervo back in, Cuervo hits a dropkick for a two count. They stagger to their feet again and Chessman hits a spear on Cuervo to pin him for a three as well. Tiger and Chessman square off now in the last fall of the match, and Tiger throws Chessman into the ropes and hits a double stomp on him, then goes for the cover but only gets a two count. Chessman pulls Tiger up again and gives him a backbreaker out of the torture rack for two. Tiger gets on the apron, hits an enziguri, and comes in for a huracanrana but Cuervo pulls him into a cangrejo. Tiger works his way out, hits his huracanrana finally and covers Chessman for the three count to advance to the Rey de Reyes finals. This was a really great, fast paced match with everyone looking pretty good, and they whipped the crowd into a frenzy as well which is always good.

Backstage, Cibernético hands someone a letter and tells them it needs to get to L.A. Park. I assume he has a distrust for the postal service.

A video recap of El Mesías vs. L.A. Park from Guerra de Titanes 2010 airs, my personal favorite match of 2010 (or 2011 if you're an Observer subscriber).

3. El Mesías, Dark Espíritu, Dark Ozz vs. Decnnis, LA Park, Zorro

The crowd is already chanting for all of them as the match begins. Park and Mesías resume their rivalry and start brawling on the outside as the other four fight in the ring. Decnnis (or is it Decnis?) straddles Espíritu in the corner and kicks him repeatedly and Park grabs a normal, non-folding hard plastic/metal chair out of the audience and slams it across Mesías' back and the fans chant Park's name. Park then brings the chair in the ring and just clobbers Espíritu with it. He then grabs Ozz and powerbombs him right across the seat of the chair. I could watch Park do this all day, honestly. Zorro has a folding chair now and slaps it over Mesías' back then sets it up in the corner and whips him head first into it. The beatdown continues with Decnnis slamming a chair into a nother chair that is between Ozz's legs. We might not see any Hijos del Ozz after that one. Zorro holds Mesías' head up by his braids as Park runs the ropes and kicks him right in the face. Zorro and Park then hold Mesías head and slam it repeatedly against the chair, with Park celebrating this by doing his trademark dance and being fantastically awesome. Park then whips off his belt and starts dancing again as the crowd unanimously chants his name, and Park goes and slaps Mesías repeatedly on the back with the belt and then the three of them just destroy him with punches. They send Mesías into the ropes, but he finally ducks out and knocks them all down before hitting a tope to the outside and Espíritu runs in with a springboard plancha and goes after Decnnis. Mesías has a chair now and turns to Park and just nails him with it and rolls Park into the ring. Mesías has the belt now as Espíritu holds Park down and slaps him hard as hell across the back with a thunderous SMACK. The three of them back Park into a corner and Park runs at them only to get slammed across the head with a chair by Mesías. Mesías and Decnnis face off in the ring now as things settle down a bit and the crowd is chanting for Mesías now. Mesías knocks Decnnis out and Espíritu runs in to takes him on now and armdrags him out. Espíritu faces Park now and ducks a clothesline and hits a tope to the outside on Decnnis. Park and Mesías now face off in the ring, push each other, spit at each other and then just start trading slaps and punches until Park has had enough and tags out, being an awesome rudo. Mesías knocks Decnnis down with two shoulder tackles and then hits a uranage but Zorro throws his kendo stick at him and takes out his legs. Zorro goes for a piledriver but Mesías flips out and hits a dropkick. Zorro comes off the ropes with a clothesline to Mesías and poses as the fans continue to chant for Mesías. Park cuts off Mesías from behind and takes him down with punches. The camera zooms in on Mesías' back and it's covered in welts from the belt shots by Park. Mesías has him in the corner now and is punching him repeatedly, so the ref comes over to pull him off but Mesias accidentally knocks him down and Park comes off the top for a splash but lands on the ref instead when Mesías moves. The ring clears out and Espíritu and Zorro are in now, Zorro dropkicks him down but Ozz comes in and dropkicks him out then Espíritu hits a suicide plancha on Zorro and Decnnis but they catch him and toss him into the crowd, but Ozz comes flying through the ropes with a crazy super tornillo. L.A. Park, in fine fashion, then goes up top and teases a dive but then instead tells the fans to fuck off. Park and Mesías square off again and Park charges at him in the corner, gets hit with a boot, but then catches the charging Mesías with a powerslam for two, and then defiantly chants "sí se puede" because he knows how awesome he is. Mesías hits a plancha on Park or two and they show Decnnis on the outside with a doctor and he has an absolute goose egg on his forehead from the dive into the crowd. Park slams Mesías and goes for a springboard moonsault but misses and Mesías has him down now. Mesías goes up top and comes off the turnbuckle with a frog splash and covers Park. Afterwards, all of them keep brawling and Cuervo runs down to help his stablemates out and run off the rudos as the show ends. This match was great, crazy stuff with Park being the star and everyone around him making it a fantastic match by being absolutely awesome as well.

AAA 1-27-11 Toluca Review

AAA 1-27-11 Toluca Review

El Zorro cuts a promo talking about what it's like to be the Megacampeón. Dr. Wagner Jr. then cuts a promo and says he wants to get the respect he deserves.

1. Gato Eveready, Atomic Boy, Fenix vs. Tigre Cota, Black Dragon, Tito Santana

Atomic Boy and Black Dragon start out and Dragon gets armdragged to the floor and Atomic Boy fakes a dive. Tige Cota and Gato trade holds and Gato hits an awesome headscissors before getting missile dropickicked by Tito. Double team but Gato fights back with a headscissors and then a dropkick to knock both of them out and fakes a dive of his own. Fenix and Dragon in now and Fenix does a pretty cool back handspring into a pele kick. They criss cross the ropes and Dragon throws him up for a back body drop and then goes for a desnucadora out of the air but doesn't catch him and Fenix lands hilariously right on his ass. The rudos take over and go three on one on each of the técnicos until Atomic Boy and Fenix jump back in the ring and take over with the advantage of their own. Fenix hits a death valley driver on Tigre followed by a springboard inverted senton on Tigre by Atomic Boy as Gato hits a really fast spinning DDT on Dragon and they send all three of the rudos to the floor. Atomic Boy and Dragon face off and Atomic hits a few very nice headscissors in a row and sends Dragon to the floor and then hits an suicida moonsault. Gato and Tito in now and Gato sends him to the outside with a headscissors and then hits an insane suicide tornillo followed by Fenix hitting a running suicida moonsault. Inside the ring, Atomic Boy and Black Dragon criss cross the ropes and Atomic Boy does a handspring off the ropes and then hits a victory roll on Dragon for the three count. Awesome opening match and the dive sequence at the end was worth watching a few times, Gato Eveready (now Drago in AAA) is one of the best flyers around these days and makes it look really easy out there.


2. El Apache, Faby Apache, Pimpinela vs. Billy Boy, Sexi Star, Yuriko

The Antonio Peña special, luchador/luchadora/exótico vs. luchador/luchadora/exótico. Tirantes Jr. is the ref so you can pretty much guess how this one goes, with the rudos representing Dorian Roldan's group La Sociedad (of which Tirantes is a member). El Apache starts with Billy and they go back and forth for a while, with El Apache showing that he can definitely still keep up, hitting a springboard moonsault and a diving armdrag off the top. Pimpi and Yuriko in now and the crowd chants for Pimpi as the two of them slap each other around and Pimpi hits a headscissors off the top sending Yuriko to the floor and then Billy Boy jumps in and clotheslines him down. Pimpi does the rope walk armdrag to Billy and then kisses him on the lips which makes the crowd go literally insane with joy. Sexi Star and Faby in now and they criss cross the ropes a few times with Faby getting the better of her with a couple of armdrags that sends her to the floor until Billy jumps in and takes her down by the hair. The crowd chants Faby's name as Billy works her over and she fires back with a headscissors but the rudos jump in and take over while Tirantes is conveniently distracted by the crowd. Three on one on each of the técnicos now and we go to commercial as they each get beat down. Back from commercial as the técnicos start to fight back and they go after Tirantes but the rudos take them on before they get to him. They all brawl around for a bit until it ends up with Sexi and Pimpinela who gives her a drop toe hold and puts her in a quebradora but Yuriko jumps in with a Michinoku driver on Pimpi. Faby goes after Yuriko and rolls her up but Sexi interferes and breaks it up. Pimpi off the top with a dropkick to Yuriko and then Billy gets his huracanrana reversed into a rollup and Apache has the cover but Tirantes fakes a knee injury after counting two and Billy then rolls up Apache and Tirantes counts a fast three to let the rudos win. Tirantes and the rudos escape as Apache runs after them up the aisle.

They show the groups for Rey de Reyes. Group 1 has Joe Lider, Cuervo, Chessman, and Extreme Tiger. Group 2 has Electroshock, Aerostar, El Mesias, and Superfly. Group 3 has L.A. Park, Halloween, Dr. Wagner Jr., and Nicho, and the final group, Group 4 has Jack Evans, Carlito, Ozz, and Decnis.

La Milicia walks to the ring with Konnan who gets on the mic and tells the fans to get on their feet and welcome the new Megacampeón de AAA, El Zorro, who comes out with a kendo stick. Zorro and Konnan talk about a prophecy by Zorro where he said that a dictator in AAA would fall, saying that it wouldn't be Konnan because he is not a dictator, he is a hero. Konnan calls out Wagner and Mesías and says that Chessman and Zorro will take them on tonight and beat them.

3. Aerostar and Octagon vs. Super Fly and Chris Stone (La Milicia)

Super Fly comes out with a cane, wearing a red headband and belt like Octagon and hobbling around like a withered old man making fun of him. Octagon jumps him at the start and breaks the cane over his knee, putting an end to his high-larious comedy act. Aerostar tags in and backflips into the ring to face off with Stone, who is wisely wearing a bullet proof vest because A: he is in La Milicia but more importantly B: you never know when your opponent might shoot you with a gun in the chest or back. Springboard into a wheelbarrow then an armdrag by Aerostar sends Stone out and Fly jumps in. Beautiful spinning headscissors by Aerostar sends Fly out too and Aerostar slides out after them. Octagon and Fly in the ring now and are brawling and ripping at each other's masks as the hate between the two continues to grow. Milicia goes 2 on 1 on Aerostar who gets tossed incredibly high in the air with a flapjack and lands right on his chest. Some clipping here, and Aerostar is then on the apron where he jumps in with a springboard missile dropkick and then hits a moonsault suicida on Stone. Fly and Octagon brawl on the outside now and Fly tries to retreat but the rest of La Milicia attack the ring and beat down the técnicos and get DQed. Quick match here that was clipped so not a whole lot to see.

We see Charly Manson talking on his cell phone backstage with somebody, then the announcers go over the groupings for Rey de Reyes again.

4. Psycho Circus (Psycho Clown, Monster Clown, Murder Clown) vs. Los Bizarros (Amadeus, Charly Manson, Escoria)

Both teams start out brawling in and out of the ring. The Bizarros beat down Monster Clown and then continue the beatdown on Murder Clown with Escoria coming off the top with a legdrop. Amadeus wears a plastic black mask and a long white wig and will probably haunt me in my nightmares. Los Bizarros clear the ring of all the clowns and then the big Murder Clown tries to fight back but gets beat down as well as the show goes to commercial. We return and Escoria runs at Murder in the corner but Murder throws him over his head to the floor and the two other Clowns take out the Bizarros with stereo dropkicks. Amadeus gets sent into the corner and clotheslined by Psycho, then gets a drop toe hold from Monster and a leg drop from Murder. Psycho Circus continues the beat down on Bizarros and Monster holds Charly's legs and then Murder leapfrogs over his back with a huge legdrop. The referee manages to clear the ring for once and it's Euforia and Monster in the ring and Euforia kicks him in the corner. They fight to the apron and Euforia goes for a springboard huracanrana from one side of the apron to the outer but there is some miscommunication and Monster does his bump off the apron about a second after Euforia twists for the huracanrana. Charly sprints in and hits a running tope suicida and lands on his feet. Murder in with Amadaeus and throws him up with a huge gorilla press. Murder Clown goes up top and hits an elbow drop and covers Amadeus for the three count. Bit of a sloppy match that served mainly to put over the Psycho Circus. Zorro's music hits afterwards and he comes out and yells at Charly. Charly gets on the microphone and tells Zorro that he is his worst nightmare.

Backstage, Konnan and Dorian sit in the locker room and discuss their problems with La Parka as the Rocky theme plays in the background.

5. Chessman and Zorro vs. Dr. Wagner Jr. and El Mesías

Our Lucha Estelar of the night and Hijo del Tirantes is the referee. Chessman starts with Mesías on the inside as Zorro and Wagner brawl on the outside. Konnan jumps in immediately and beats down Mesías in the corner with Chessman. Both rudos have their opponnents down on the mat in chinlocks as Konnan and Tirantes look on and the fans boo and chant for Wagner. Mesías hits the ropes and gets double shoulder blocked and then gets thrown off the ropes again into a double superkick. Zorro takes his kendo stick and sends Wagner into the ropes followed by repeated shots to the stomach and back of Wagner with the stick. Chessman tries to hit the ropes but Mesïas trips him up and hits a plancha suicida on Zorro as Wagner hits a running tope con giro off the apron. Wagner catches Chessman and Zorro in the ring with the kendo stick and they beg for mercy and run off. Tirantes takes the stick from Wagner and pushes him in the chest so Wagner kicks him in the calf and Tirantes falls head over heels. Both teams regroup as the show goes to commercial. We return and Mesías faces off with Chessman in the ring. They criss-cross the ropes and Mesías tries to monkey flip him but Chessman just kicks him in the face like a boss. Big powerslam by Mesías to a running Chessman but Zorro breaks up the pin count after Tirantes doesn't count the pin and goes to work. Chops in the corner by Zorro on Mesías and the crowd is getting pretty restless, a lot of them do not like Zorro at all. The crowd starts to loudly chant for Mesías and he hulks up and backdrops Zorro over his head then criss-crosses the ropes, ducks a superkick and hits Zorro with a backcracker. Chessman breaks up the pin and then faces off with Wagner in the ring. Wagner knocks Chessman down with another big kick to the calf but Tirantes the necio refuses to count because he acts like he hears someone in the crowd or something. Quebradora by Chessman who poses as the crowd boos. Another quebradora attempt but Wagner flips out and Chessman superkicks him out of the ring and then lands on him with a plancha. Mesías and Zorro again and they trade punches in the ring. Mesías drops the incoming Chessman with a spinebuster and then drops Zorro with one followed by a punch to the face of Konnan who sells it hilariously by throwing his baseball bat at least 12 feet in the air. Mesías grabs the bat and prepares to knock Konnan silly but that provides just enough of a distraction for Zorro to catch him from behind, flip him around and hit the superkick to pin him for a fast three count from Hijo del Tirantes. Pretty fun match with the usual guys although Zorro looked like he was in some pain here, probably the second best match of the night next to (ironically) the first match of the show. Afterwards, Charly's music hits and he runs out holding Cibernetico's old mask and fights off the rudos. Mesías sends Konnan down with two punches to the face as the fans pelt the ring with garbage. Wagner and Charly hit a wish bone on Konnan and send him packing as the three pose in the ring.

Wagner gets on the microphone and cuts a promo about AAA and Antonio Peña with Marisela Peña sitting in the front row holding Antonio Peña's ashes.

Afterwards, a highlight video of the show airs wrapping up all of the angles.

Jeff Lynch Lucha DVD Tape 1B Review

Jeff Lynch Mexico Tape #1 Part B (Sept. 1983) Review

1. Sangre Chicana vs. MS1 – Cabellera vs. Cabellera

MS1 unfortunately passed away recently, but it was great to see him on these DVDs doing such awesome work. From what I’ve seen he was truly one of the best rudos and overall workers of his generation in Mexico. Before the match even begins, MS1 attacks Sangre outside of the ring and slams his head against the apron. Highly concerned women at ringside crowd around Sangre and attempt to help him as MS1 lays into him with stomps. Fans are throwing trash at MS1 already as the ref tries to hold him back. Finally he climbs in the ring to gloat to the fans as the match announcements are being made and we see Sangre Chicana is bleeding from the top of his head all the way down his chest. MS1 climbs back out and keeps beating on Sangre. The ref tries to hold him back but MS1 keeps managing to run around him like a cartoon character and kick Sangre before the ref pulls him away. Women flock Sangre on the floor and fan him with their jackets to revive him as MS1 continues the assault into the crowd as Sangre does an awesome job of selling like he’s really hurting badly. MS1 picks him up in a fireman’s carry and dumps him into the ring, then hits a bodyslam and comes off the top with a flying headbutt for a three count to win the first fall. Sangre falls out of the ring and more concerned women sitting ringside help him. One of them wipes the blood off of his face as he sits on his knees, looking battered and exhausted.

MS1 climbs out and boots him in the face then throws him in the ring to begin the second fall. The fans are loudly chanting CHI-CA-NA as MS1 celebrates in the ring and continues to beat on him. Chicana is still bleeding heavily as MS1 pulls him up again but Chicana nails him with a left hand and the crowd goes wild, then hits him with two more that knocks him out of the ring and hits a tope to the outside in a really great sequence and the fans are chanting his name again. Chicana crawls into the ring as the ref counts out MS1 on the outside and wins the second fall by countout, having his hand raised in the middle of the ring while he’s covered in blood as MS1 lay on the outside.

Sangre climbs outside to meet MS1 to begin the third fall and slams MS1’s head directly into the apron in the same fashion that MS1 slammed his head into the apron in the first fall. MS1 comes up and is gushing blood out of his forehead and now both of them are just covered in blood and start brawling in the middle of the ring. MS1 goes for a big right but Sangre ducks and hits a huge left that sends him down. They stagger to their feet as the fans continue to chant Chicana and MS1 knocks him out with a shoulder block and follows it up with a huge tope. They crawl back into the ring and MS1 makes the cover but only gets two and the two of them stagger to their feet again, covered in blood. MS1 goes for an inside cradle but Sangre kicks out at two again. Standing back splash by MS1 for another two count and then he sends Sangre down with a right hand and hits a butterfly suplex for another two count. The mat is just covered in blood at this point. Right hand sends Sangre out again and MS1 hits another huge tope but Sangre moves and MS1 flies into the chairs. Back in the ring, the two of them rise slowly to their feet and Sangre hits a dropkick and then connects on a tope suicida and the crowd roars. Inside, Sangre covers for a two count and they stand again and MS1 hits a bodyslam and goes up top. Another headbutt attempt but Sangre slides away and MS1 lands splat from high in the air in a sick spot, and Sangre covers for another two. They grapple to their feet and MS1 hits another bodyslam and goes up top. MS1 comes off the top with a senton but Sangre moves again and applies a stretch muffler and the crowd roars in approval as MS1 submits and loses his cabellera rubia to a very bloody Sangre Chicana as Sangre’s mom looks on in approval from the audience, smoking a cigarette. MS1 tries to run away after the bell but Sangre runs him down and hits him with another big left hand and then holds him down as they cut his hair in the ring and shave him bald. This was a really awesome match for a ton of reasons, especially the crowd reactions and the crazy brawling.

2. Sangre Chicana/La Fiera/Mocho Cota vs. Infernales (MS1/El Satanico/El Espectro Jr. II)

The first shot of the footage from this match is MS1 standing in the ring with a smug look on his face and a freshly shaved bald head, just an awesome shot. He’s also got quite a snazzy sequined jacket too. Infernales jump the tecnicos on the outside and beat on them before the match even begins, what a bunch of bad guys. They beat down Sangre three on one and the fans desperately chant his name to fight back but he gets dumped to the outside with the rest. Back in the ring and a three on one on Sangre until the others come to break it up but get beat down as well. Everyone brawls together around the ring and Satanico stomps down Sangre in the middle of the ring. Los Infernales clear the ring again and stand down the tecnicos as they make their way back to the apron. More brawling and the rudos continue to beat down the tecnicos, with Mocho getting held down and stomped until Fiera runs in and gets beat down as well. Mocho, wearing bright banana yellow trunks, gets held up by Espectro while MS1 stomps him and the refs try to pull them apart while Espectro bites him on the forehead and busts him open. MS1 holds him up and punches him right in the forehead a few more times to open up the cut and now Cota is bleeding a lot and gets tossed outside of the ring and Satanico follows in pursuit. Brawling continues and the tecnicos start t fight back as the rowd goes crazy. Sangre and Cota double team Espectro while Fiera throws MS1 into the ring post outside and the tecnicos take over. Inside, Cota locks Espectro in a submission, something like a tirabuzón with Espectro in the seated position, and he submits. MS1 jumps in and starts brawling with Fiera but gets sent out again and the rudos triple team Satanico. They hold him in a standing armlock and he submits and the tecnicos take the fall while the ref checks Cota’s cuts. The rudos continue to fight and pull Fiera out of the ring, MS1 tries to bulldog him into the ring post but Fiera pushes him into it. Crazy brawling now and Sangre and MS1 are facing off in the center of the ring and brawl to the outside. All six men keep brawling around the ring and Cota gets Espectro down and starts tearing at his mask and Fiera backdrops MS1 and he goes splat on the ringside mats. The tecnicos keep beating down the rudos in a big way , and Satanico jumps in the ring and kicks Fiera with a low blow for the foul and the tecnicos win. Lots of crazy brawling in this match and more blood for the crazy people. Afterwards, Cota rips off Espectro’s mask and celebrates with it as they help Sangre Chicana up who is selling the beating.

3. NWA Middleweight Championship: El Satanico (C) vs. Lizmark

Long stand-off to start the match with each man tentatively trying to lock up with one another. Finally they lock up and Satanico wrenches at a side headlock but Lizmark hits a takedown and then locks him in an STF and they exchange holds and then stand up after a few. Lizmark rolls out of a pin attempt and then does an awesome cartwheel into single leg takedown that someone should definitely steal and use today. They stand again and Satanico hits an arm drag and holds on an armbar and hits an over the head armdrag. Back up again, Satanico takes down Lizmark and goes for a leglock but he reverses it into a crossface. To their feet again and they lock up but Satanico hits a hip toss, then up again but Lizmark hits a big dropkick that sends Satanico into the ropes. They trade holds for a little bit then criss cross the ropes and Lizmark goes for a moonsault off the top. Satanico moves, but Lizmark lands on his feet and armdrags him. They criss cross again, Lizmark armdrags him again and then hits a butterfly suplex with a big slam and pins him for three to take the first fall.

Second fall begins and Lizmark hits a drop toe hold and a couple strikes to the back of the head of Satanico then a somersault neckbreaker. Reverse chinlock by Lizmark on Satanico but he gets his foot on the ropes. Satanico falls outside and regroups with his Segundo while Lizmark waits in the ring. Back inside goes Satanico and Lizmark hits the dreaded Martinete causing Satanico to flop around shaking like he’s paralyzed, then he hits another one and Satanico shakes and seizes again. Two dropkicks in a row by Lizmark followed by a headscissors attempt but Satanico reverses it into a powerbomb and gets a three count to take the second fall.

Third fall starts with Satanico charging at Lizmark in the corner but he moves and rolls Satanico up for a two. Abdominal stretch by Lizmark but Satanico hiptosses him, sprints off the ropes and hits a senton for two. They criss cross again and Lizmark hits two flying body blocks and covers for a two. They struggle to their feet and Lizmark rolls him up with a bridge for another two. Another rollup attempt by Satanico now and another kickout. Lizmark throws him into the corner and goes in but Satanico ducks and Lizmark goes out then hits a huge crossbody off the top for a big nearfall that gets the fans buzzing. Satanico goes for a big spear but Lizmark moves and Satanico spills to the floor, then Lizmark goes up top and hits a nice plancha on Satanico. Back inside, another flying body block by Lizmark gets a two count and the two of them are dead exhausted laying in the ring. Satanico locks up on a quebradora de caballo but Lizmark rolls through and covers Satanico for two as the fans begin to chant Lizmark’s name. Back up, two dropkicks by Lizmark and he locks on a surfboard then flips Satanico all the way over onto his shoulders and Satanico pins Lizmark’s shoulders down for the three count to retain the belt. These two had a great technical match though the finish was a little flat.

4. Halcon Ortiz vs. Cien Caras – Beginning only

The DVD footage only features the beginning of this match. Halcon starts out by doing a promo in his corner and he’s wearing the same banana yellow color trunks that Mocho Cota wore but he has a white cape as well, looking like quite the man. The two of them lock up and grapple all the way out of the ring and then get back in and lock up some more as the tape runs out.

AAA 1/15/11 Ecatepec Part 2 of 2 Review

AAA 1/15/11 Ecatepec, MX Part 2

A video package recaps the Guerra de Titanes PPV and the feud between La Parka and Cibernetico that happened on Part 1.

Konnan comes out with La Milicia and introduces them to the crowd. He runs down everyone in AAA and professes the dominance of La Milicia and the Legión Extranjera. El Mesias’ music hits and he comes out and clears house. He starts out by wishing everyone a Happy New Year, what a nice guy that Mesias is. He says that L.A. Park cheated to beat him at Guerra de Titanes but he knows he is going to get his win back, and that he is going to break Konnan’s teeth when this is all over. TE GUSTE, O NO TE GUSTE.

Octagon promo, he calls out Superfly and tells him he is going to take his hair. Superfly promo, he talks about pairing up with Konnan and taking down everyone in AAA, and he’s going to take it to the next level in his career.

4. La Milicia (Decnis, Billy Boy, Tigre Cota) vs. Dark Family (Dark Ozz, Dark Espiritu, Dark Cuervo)

Dark Family is representing La Secta in this match (Mesias’ stable) against La Milicia who is representing the Legión Extranjera. Milicia starts by jumping the tecnicos. Cuervo gets held in the corner and Tigre Cota runs at him with his army helmet on and headbutts him with a low blow. Now, to me, that is a very extreme version of a low blow, and I’m sure Ozz would agree. Triple team on Espiritu and Decnnis gives him a wheelbarrow slam off the middle rope. Then they do a cool triple team spot where Tigre and Billy hold Ozz up in a suplex position and Decnis crossbodies him off the top, then a spinebuster and clothesline combination followed by Tigre coming off the top with a pretty good Randy Savage style elbow drop for a two count when Espiritu breaks up the pin. They hold up Espiritu for a big boot but Espiritu ducks and they kick Decnis who gets knocked out of the ring and Espiritu hits a big tope on him, and it turns the tide for the tecnicos. 3 on 3 beatdown by the tecnicos in the ring and they isolate Decnis with a splash in the corner followed by another low blow against the ring post. Teams return to their corners and Ozz and Decnis face off and have a nice exchange and then Billy runs in but gets monkey flipped onto a fallen Decnis, then a dropkick into a senton by Ozz onto Decnis and Billy. Commercial break and we return to the rudos regrouping on the outside. Decnis in with Cuervo now and gets knocked out of the ring after an exchange. Tigre Cota runs in and gets slid across the ring on his face to the outside. Tigre Cota runs in now and gets a quebradora from Cuervo for his efforts and Espiritu tags in. Tigre and Espiritu face off with chops then a armdrag by Espiritu. Headscissors by Espiritu send Tigre out and Billy jumps in with a spinebuster on Espiritu. They hit the ropes and Espiritu hits a great armdrag on Billy and sends him out but Decnis hits him out of nowhere with a back elbow to knock him down. They hit the ropes now and Espiritu hits a powerslam and legdrop for a two count when Tigre breaks it up and Ozz runs in to face him. Big arm drag by Ozz who then ducks out of the way from a diving Tigre who flies through the middle rope out of the ring. Billy knocks Ozz out of the ring and faces Espiritu who gives him a big powerbomb for a two count when Decnis breaks it up. Decnis hits a rocker dropper on Espiritu and goes for a submission but Cuervo breaks it up. Chaos in the ring followed by stereo topes to the outside by Espiritu and Cuervo. Tigre goes for an asai moonsault on Ozz inside and but Ozz slides out of the way and hits a pumphandle driver for a three count and the Dark Family wins. After the match the Legión Extranjera jumps in the ring and beats down the Dark Family until LA BAMBA hits and Octagon runs out with AERO STAR and El Elegido who even the odds and send the rudos running. They challenge Superfly, Alan Stone, and Chris Stone to a trios match later. This was a good match with a lot of crowd heat especially at the finish for Ozz’s big move, both trios work well together and Ozz has a big star presence feel to him with the AAA audience.

5. Octagon, El Elegido, & Aero Star vs. Superfly, Alan Stone, & Chris Stone

Aero Star and Chris start, Aero bounces around the ring for a little bit and Alan dropkicks him off the top behind his back. Chris chops him against the ropes and goes to whip him against the ropes but Aero Star hits an amazing springboard arm drag variation with a backflip that sends him outside and tumbling into the crowd, then armdrags Alan out and hits a great spinning headscissors on Superfly. Elegido jumps in and goes to work on Alan. Alan gets the better of the exchange and poses and gyrates in the ring to the approval of the women in the audience. Chris tags in and knocks Elegido down and goes for some less than flattering poses of his own followed by some karate poses. Both these poses need work. Elegido fights back and cleans house and then does some of his own poses. What we have here is a battle for pose supremacy. Commercial break and Alan and Octagon are in the ring now. Armdrag and quebradora by Octagon and then Chris is in who gets karate kicked around and then goes for a big spear but Octagon ducks and he falls out of the ring. Rudos jump in and beat down the tecnicos in the ring. Superfly gets a hold of Octagon and starts beating on him on the outside. Alan slams Elegido with a chair on the outside. More chaos in the ring and the rudos beat down Aero Star with the triple team toss to the outside. Elegido gets beat down by the rudos now and they throw him out as well. They beat on Octagon in the ring but he manages to send them all out and then hits a big armdrag on Superfly who then high tails it for the locker room with Octagon in pursuit. Inside, bulldog and springboard dropkick by Aero Star to Chris and an awesome backward springboard tope to the outside. Superfly sneaks back down the aisle with a chair as the match goes on and hits Elegido who gets rolled up for a three count. Octagon comes back down and chases Superfly through the crowd as Milicia celebrates with Elegido’s mask in the ring. Aero Star made this match worth watching but Octagon is always great to see. The Aero Star backwards tope spot was really incredible and they couldn’t replay it enough.

Electroshock promo, he says he is now ADL: Alta Definicion Luchistica and calls out Silver King.

Damian and Halloween are getting ready for their match and talking in the locker room about how they are better than the Psycho Circus. Damian is on his cell phone and tells his son Bestia to be ready for the match.

6. Lucha Estelar: Perros Del Mal (Damian 666, Halloween, Bestia 666) vs. Psycho Circus (Psycho Clown, Murder Clown, Monster Clown)

There’s something hilarious about the edecanes dancing to the circus music during the Psycho Circus entrance. Circus runs in and immediately jumps the Perros and all hell breaks loose. Monster Clown starts undoing his pants (oh dear) but luckily just to pull off his belt to start whipping the Perros with. A chair is introduced that gets slid right into Damian’s groin, I believe that’s the second time we’ve seen that spot on this show. Bestia is alone in the ring and takes an awesome beating from the Clowns and gets thrown over the top rope by Murder Clown. Why is the biggest guy in the group not the Monster Clown? That’s an important question. Clowns clear house and pose for the crowd’s approval. Outside, Murder Clown gorilla presses Damian and throws him into the crowd into a bunch of chairs. Clowns beat down Halloween now and Murder Clown avalanches him in the corner. Clowns hold Halloween’s legs and Psycho comes off the top with a headbutt. Tirantes steps in to try to stop the violence but Psycho clown lifts Bestia up for a powerbomb and Monster jumps over him with a legdrop sending Bestia through a table propped against the corner. Another table is introduced and the Clowns try to send Halloween through it but he foils their plans and spears Murder Clown through the table. Fighting continues through a commercial break and we return to the Perros beating down the Clowns now. Triple team legdrop and a standing moonsault by Bestia. Monster and Bestia face off and chop each other and Monster rocks Bestia with a huge chop that brings in Damian to fight with Psycho and the Clowns take control. Tope by Psycho to Damian on the outside and a quebradora by Monster to Bestia. Monster goes up top but gets pushed off by Bestia who hits a beautiful tope con giro. Murder has Halloween up but Tirantes Jr. saves him and gets booted down by Murder. Rock Bottom by Murder but Tirantes won’t count and Gran Apache runs down to fight him off and brings a new ref. Big splash by Murder Clown on Bestia for the three count and the fighting continues after the finish. Commercial break, and we return to Hijo del Perro Aguayo hitting the ring to beat down the Psycho Circus. Just a wild brawling match but it was pretty fun to watch.
