Posted August 25, 20187 yr comment_5864575 Main card: Psycho Clown vs Hijo del Fantasma vs Pentagon Jr vs LA Park (cage match, last two left have a one on one mask vs mask match) Lady Shani vs Faby Apache (mask vs hair) Jeff Jarrett vs Brian Cage vs Rich Swann vs Fenix (AAA Mega Heavyweight title) La Mascara, Rey Escorpion, Texano Jr vs Joe Lider, Murder Clown, Pagano (street fight) Jack Evans, Juventud Guerrera, Teddy Hart vs Averno, Chessman, Super Fly (lumberjack match) Mamba, Maximo, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Carta Brava Jr, Mocho Cota Jr, Tito Santana (not that one) vs Hijo de LA Park, Puma King, Taurus Aerostar & Drago vs Golden Magic & Laredo Kid vs Bandido & Flamita vs Andrew Everett & DJZ (ladder match for the AAA tag titles) Big Mami & Nino Hamburguesa vs Hijo del Vikino & Vanilla vs Dinastia & Lady Maravilla vs Angelikal & La Hiedra (AAA mixed tag titles) Pre show: Australian Suicide defending the AAA cruiserweight title against mystery opponents not officially named but known to be ACH, Shane Strickland, and Sammy Guevara. Llave a La Gloria match which is where they put the most promising rookies in a spotlight match AAA HOF with Dr. Alfonso Morales and El Apache getting inducted. AAA is showing it live on their Twitch channels, they have separate Spanish and English feeds but you're better off with the Spanish feed unless listening to Vampiro and Matt Striker trying to pop each other all night is your bag.
August 25, 20187 yr comment_5864583 Starting at roughly 1:30AM in the UK but I'm going to endeavour to stick with it as my first live Lucha show.
August 25, 20187 yr Author comment_5864587 They are doing a lead up show around 6-6:30 EST, the pre show starts around 8 EST, main card at 9 EST, and the main event mask match will start at midnight EST no matter what since it is airing on TV in Mexico at that time. Keep in mind AAA is notorious for not starting on time, so those times are more of a general guideline than anything else.
August 25, 20187 yr comment_5864590 Even though TripleMania's are typically train wrecks, I'm looking forward to this.
August 26, 20187 yr Author comment_5864593 The show's started if anyone was waiting to jump in (being nearly 45 minutes late to start was very On Brand for AAA).
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864594 I am sure there has been better but the rookies match was absolutely insane and best I have seen. Much better than the 4 way match with proven stars like Shane Strickland and ACH. It might be my Wifi but the Twitch feed in the last 5 minutes has been awful. although given TripleMania history with technical difficulties who knows Oh shit Jeff Jarrett is on this show, can he possibly top the hot mess he was last year?
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864595 The stream is glitchy as fuck in both English and Spanish and its not just you its everywhere. Main card starting over a half hour late and having a broken steam is the most AAA thing AAA could do.
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864601 It is strange that with the rise in quality US intergender wrestling that we don't have a mixed tag team title somewhere. Unless you consider the WWE Mixed Match challenge one. Love me some Big Mami.
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864602 sitting through the glitchy stream was worth it for Big Mami & Niño Hamburguesa
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864604 Konnan coming out to Eye of the Tiger seems like a rib as someone who doesn't watch AAA. That ladder match was incredible. Jeff Jarrett feels like he been a member of almost every faction in the last 25 years. although I am not sure about NWO given the mess that was WCW in 2000-2001
August 26, 20187 yr Author comment_5864605 Eye of the Tiger has been Konnan's theme in AAA forever. It doesn't really fit for the main heel group but it's like their equivalent to old man HBK still coming out to Sexy Boy at this point.
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864607 Vampiro stood like a gormless twat yelling repeatedly for his music despite the fact he's stood right in front of everyone is the most meme worthy thing in the history of wrestling memes.
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864609 Okay I am going to assume his real name is Tito Santana because if not then what the hell
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864611 really enjoyed the poder del norte/exoticos/random other team match, even though it got less time than vampiro waiting for his music to hit
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864612 Vampiro comparing Teddy Hart to Kawada and Misawa is the type of shit designed to make you fume. Excellent worker, that asshole.
August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864613 Well that was a predictable sloppy death match given one of the teams in it. the flaming bullrope was pretty awesome but the rest was very IWA Deep South

August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864615 Now Lady Shani vs Fabe Apache was a great hate filled brawl. I am sure the outside BS with all the guys makes sense in the long term story. Well except for Hamburguesa getting seriously hurt from the looks of it By the way those big ass beers that fans have no problem throwing at wrestlers must be cheap because looking at the size those are about $15 cups in the US. I can't hate a wrestler that much
August 26, 20187 yr Author comment_5864616 Some subtext here, the last time Faby lost a hair match she barely got her hair cut and it was a Thing for a while.

August 26, 20187 yr comment_5864618 Imagine having Brian Cage, Rich Swann, and Fenix in a match and you feel like you have to protect Jeff Jarrett. While I enjoy seeing Dr. Wagner Jr showing up the idea that Fenix needed him to beat Jarrett is a joke. it also looked like Cage got hurt on that swanton breaking up the figure 4. Fenix definitely landed right on his knees which had to suck
August 26, 20187 yr Author comment_5864619 Jarrett beat Wagner for the title when Konnan came out dressed like Parka, this finish played off that down to Wagner doing Konnan's limp-run down the ramp.
August 26, 20187 yr Author comment_5864620 Park ending up one of the final two would probably help explain why AAA was so adamant the Rush/Park match wouldn't happen.
