Yes, but as good as Vamp is for all the comic reliefs and F-bombs, Hugo Savinovich bring an incredible legitimacy. AAA's opened respective YT and Twitter channels.

I do like Hugo, but IMO, Vampiro unscripted = GOAT

But yeah, TripleMania shall kick ass!

 

[Bort]

There's nothing wrong in beating the shit out of each other.

 

[Roadster]

Vampiro is the English voice of Lucha. Sucks he won't be there. At least we have Striker.

 

[Bort]

TripleMania tonight, I'm pretty damn pumped. Anyone else watching?

 

[Snowman1]

If WW gets it up in the morning I'll be down for some Triplemania, yeah!

1. Atomico **3/4
2. Villanos vs. Psycho Circus **
3. 3-way Trios Title Cage Match ***
4. Mesias & Electro vs. Demon & Parka **3/4
5. Cage vs. Alberto ***1/2
6. Myzteziz vs. Rey Mysterio ****1/4

Terrible show for everyone from the US and around the world who wanted to see what AAA brings to the table. At least main event delivered, but even that match/angle had lots of problems.

Just finished watching TripleMania XXIII.

- The Atómicos match was a solid show opener. **½
The match was a bit of a mess at first, with some folks just standing around and waiting for others to do their spots, but thankfully it gained some steam soon.
Drago and Dinastía were the two standouts here, just flying everywhere.
Also, LOL'd at Drago kicking Mamba in the ass when Mamba tried twerking, it was hilarious.
And last, but not least, Pimpi applied a sick submission on Sexy Star and her team picked up the win!

- Los Villanos vs The Psycho Circus was a DUD. I stopped watching it after 5 minutes.

- Averno, Chessman & Cibernético vs Angélico, Fénix & Jack Evans vs Hijo del Fantasma, Pentagón Jr. & Texano Jr. was a good spotfest with just sickening bumps. ***
The match could've gone without the cage, though.

- Blue Demon Jr. & La Parka vs El Mesias & Electro Shock was decent for what it was. **
Highlight of this match would be El Mesias channeling his inner Mike Tyson. The way he dropped La Parka at one point with those jabs was cool.

- Alberto El Patrón vs Brian Cage was very good. ***½

- Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Myzteziz was great. ****
The post-match angle was weird, in a sense that it felt like they could've had Myz attacking ReyRey to set up their (mask vs mask) rematch without everything else (Averno, Pentagon, Lider post-match interference).
With that being said, I don't really watch AAA's product regularly, so I don't know, maybe it made more sense to regular viewers. But I did like Myzteziz turning rudo, though.

I was way too excited for this show and in the end, I ended up being disappointed.
The only two matches that are worth watching are El Patrón/Cage and ReyRey/Myz.
Tagline of the show would be Cero Audio.
There were technical difficulties for a large portion of the show and that was more than enough to hurt the show for me. Also, having all those production mishaps is a bad way to debut on the US and Canadian TV, given TripleMania is AAA's version of WrestleMania... But, oh well.

Look at this cool art, bro! @Bort

Spoiler

 

[Roadster]

La Sombra vs. Atlantis in a Mask vs. Mask match at the 82nd Anniversary show.
La Park showed up at a CMLL press conference to challenge Rush to a Hair vs. Mask match, they don't have an official date for his return match, though.

 

[Bort]

Yep, it's a big, big, BIG match.

Such a surprise for everyone they're actually doing it this year, so soon. La Sombra is young, but I don't think I'll ever be ready to see Atlantis unmasked. :'(

It's gonna be electric in Arena Mexico that night, it might reach the atmospheres of Blue Panther vs. Villano V and Atlantis vs. Villano III. Also going to be so cool watching the old Atlantis fans losing their shit in front rows, especially the rabid ladies. All in all, it's going to be a historic night no matter what.

Next Friday in Arena Mexico, Park and Wagner's first match for CMLL in 7 years: Sombra, Rush, Wagner vs. Atlantis, Volador, Park. Holy shit!

 

[Roadster]

Wait, wait, wait...Sombra, Rush, Wagner vs. Atlantis, Volador, La Park?:roode:

I like that, I like it a lot.

 

[Bort]

Yep... So many stories there: Atlantis and Sombra will keep their heated build, Rush and Park is a hot feud on indie scene and it's about damn time we see it in CMLL, Volador is Park's nephew and Sombra's arch nemesis, and Wagner is Park's decade long bitter rival. Go figure.

 

[Roadster]

A part of me wants to think Atlantis is going to beat Sombra, but by the way they've been building Sombra, it's kind of hard to accept that Sombra will be dethroning Atlantis. WW really needs to upload this show in full, will be a thousand times better than WWE Mexico or whatever that AAA shit is.

 

[Roadster]

A quick and fun match. I enjoyed it. ***
